Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/4659

What is the issue?

i have an RTX 3060 Ti and when I ran "curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh" in ubuntu on WSL (using WSL for webUI) it installs fine, but at the end of install it says this:
" >>> Install complete. Run "ollama" from the command line.
WARNING: No NVIDIA/AMD GPU detected. Ollama will run in CPU-only mode."
any ideas what to do to fix this?
EDIT
I previously (2 days ago) installed ollama and then I uninstalled WSL entirely for another reason and reinstalled it and now the issue is happening, not sure if that was the cause but thought I should add this in here, can live without GPU for now, but is a bit annoying

OS

WSL2

GPU

Nvidia

CPU

AMD

Ollama version

0.1.38

Downgraded to NVIDIA driver 552.44 and it works, but am a bit sad that I need to downgrade as it is a bit of a nuisance however I fully support the developers as editing APIs and GPU utilisation can be a nightmare
