What linux distro are you running? Can you share the contents of your /etc/os-release file? If that file doesn't exist, is there another file in /etc that contains the OS settings? For example, on Ubuntu I see

% cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS"
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION_ID="22.04"
VERSION="22.04.4 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)"

This also happened to me. Running Debian12. Contents of /etc/os-release:

@mfahampshire Trixie is slated to be v13, but is in testing. On a v12 debian VM, I see

% cat os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="12"
VERSION="12 (bookworm)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bookworm
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"

It looks like Debian holds back on the VERSION_ID until they finalize the version number. We use the version to populate the URL https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ and there's no debian13 yet.

We should have a more informative error message instead of an unbound variable, but at the moment, debian13 isn't supported by the official cuda drivers.

@aBaldoqui what distro/version are you running? If it's not Debian 13/trixie, can you share the contents of your file?

Apologies for the misinfo, I forgot I updated! 😅 not 100% linked to this conversation but just as an FYI the manual install instructions worked perfectly, so I'll stick to manual upgrades for the moment. Thanks!

It looks like Manjaro is derived from Arch, so these instructions are probably valid for the Driver install https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA

For installing Ollama, for now, you can use our manual instruction - https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/linux.md#manual-install or possibly https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/ollama/
