📄 Description

Summary

Fixes issue #15184 - Installer exits early when nvidia-smi is found even if no NVIDIA GPU is present.

Problem

The installer was checking only if nvidia-smi tool is available, not if an actual NVIDIA GPU exists. This caused the installer to skip AMD GPU detection on systems that have AMD hardware but have nvidia-smi installed (e.g., from nvidia-utils package without actual GPU).

Fix

  • Check for actual NVIDIA GPU via lspci and lshw in addition to nvidia-smi
  • Use nvidia-smi --query-gpu to verify GPU is actually present
  • Allow installer to continue to AMD detection if no real NVIDIA GPU found

Testing

This fix ensures that:

  1. Systems with actual NVIDIA GPUs still work correctly
  2. Systems with AMD GPUs but nvidia-smi installed get ROCm installed
  3. Mixed GPU configurations are properly detected
