Hi Aqan,

The gpu-operator is not integrated with StarlingX as a system fluxcd application which is the typical model for supporting various containerized applications/projects in StarlingX.

There was an attempt at a loose integration of an older version of the gpu-operator (1.8.1) by packaging the helm chart only, but that is no longer maintained for stx.8.0 as per this commit: https://opendev.org/starlingx/integ/commit/575ba4251526cc34162d36c0e3a0ba5be0c2a86c

Regarding the error you are seeing when trying to build/install packages directly, this is tied to the underlying ostree setup in stx.8.0 which makes the filesystem read-only. I believe there is a workaround to unlock the filesystem for debugging/experimenting. @Tao, Yue can the distro-os team provide some further guidance on this?

Regards,

Ghada

 Hi Stalingx Community,

  I'm using the starlingx 8.0. I tried to install gpu-operator v22.9.1 version helm chart but failed with the fllowing error message:

```

========== NVIDIA Software Installer ==========

Starting installation of NVIDIA driver version 525.60.13 for Linux kernel version 5.10.0-6-amd64

Could not resolve Linux kernel version

```

and I also tried to install the nvidia dirver manually with the 'sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-525.60.13.run'  but it let me to install gcc. when I tried to install the gcc pacage, i got the error "dpkg: error: unable to access the dpkg database directory /var/lib/dpkg: Read-only file system".

So I want to know if stx8.0 support gpu-operator? and how I can install it sucessfully?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Best regards,

Aqan
