Cannot use CUDA nor GLMakie

might be two problems for two questions, but I am not sure if they might be related.

I have these nvidia drivers and CUDA:

and my OpenGL version is:

> inxi -G
Graphics:  Card: NVIDIA GP104GL [Tesla P4]
           Display Server: X.Org 1.21.1.6 driver: nvidia Resolution: 1440x876@1.00hz
           OpenGL: renderer: Tesla P4/PCIe/SSE2 version: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 525.147.05

but when I try to use CUDA I get this error

julia> using CUDA
β”Œ Error: CUDA.jl could not find an appropriate CUDA runtime to use.
β”‚ 
β”‚ This can have several reasons:
β”‚ * you are using an unsupported platform: this version of CUDA.jl
β”‚   only supports Linux (x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le) and Windows (x86_64),
β”‚   while your platform was identified as x86_64-linux-gnu-libgfortran5-cxx11-cuda+none-julia_version+1.9.4;
β”‚ * you precompiled CUDA.jl in an environment where the CUDA driver
β”‚   was not available (i.e., a container, or an HPC login node).
β”‚   in that case, you need to specify which CUDA version to use
β”‚   by calling `CUDA.set_runtime_version!`;
β”‚ * you requested use of a local CUDA toolkit, but not all
β”‚   required components were discovered. try running with
β”‚   JULIA_DEBUG=all in your environment for more details.
β”‚ 
β”‚ For more details, refer to the CUDA.jl documentation at
β”‚ https://cuda.juliagpu.org/stable/installation/overview/

and when I try to use GLMakie I get this error:

β”‚     This likely means, you don't have an OpenGL capable Graphic Card,

Info Packages marked with βŒƒ and βŒ… have new versions available. Those with βŒƒ may be upgradable, but those with βŒ… are restricted by compatibility constraints from upgrading. To see why use `status --outdated`

also, I forgot to add that I am running an SSH session with X forwarding.

EDIT: I just realize that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is pointing in the wrong direction!
EDIT2: I have corrected the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and now it is pointing the the right direction but I still get the same error…
EDIT3: the CUDA problem is fixed now, I have just updated to the latest stable version, 5.1.0

You should not provide your own CUDA toolkit, or even set LD_LIBRARY_PATH at all. CUDA.jl will provide its own based on your driver.

yes, thank you, I have removed the env variable and now CUDA loads just fine.

I guess the other problem with GLMakie is totally unrelated to this one and needs to be addressed in a separate question. I will open a new one and close this.
