Simple enough. Running tests now

Uh oh. Failing presubmit. I'll poke at it today. I also want to finish that patch to make it run faster on -ml or custom images with drivers pre-installed.

Hi @cjac any update on this?

[cjac]

I've been meaning to get it working. I'll look now.

I checked gs://dataproc-108de5de-43c2-4a4b-979a-adebc15a58a8-us-central1/google-cloud-dataproc-
metainfo/5a49fddd-fee9-4b93-b61c-6a1d5fe2d95f/test-rapids-single-2-2-20260715-102646-td5r-m/dataproc-
initialization-script-0_output .

Here are the key findings from that log file:

1. Initialization Parameters Recorded:
   • OS Name / Version: ubuntu (22.04)
   • Dataproc Image: 2.2-ubuntu22
   • Kernel Version: 6.8.0-1060-gcp
   • Selected RAPIDS / Driver Defaults: SPARK_RAPIDS_VERSION=26.06.0, CUDA_VERSION=12.4.1,
   NVIDIA_DRIVER_VERSION=550.54.15

2. Error Trace in Log (Lines 800–825 & 841–870):
   Loading new nvidia-550.54.15 DKMS files...
   Building for 6.8.0-1060-gcp
   Building for architecture x86_64
   Building initial module for 6.8.0-1060-gcp
   ERROR: Cannot create report: [Errno 17] File exists: '/var/crash/nvidia-dkms-550-open.0.crash'
   Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 6.8.0-1060-gcp (x86_64)
   Consult /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/550.54.15/build/make.log for more information.
   dpkg: error processing package nvidia-dkms-550-open (--configure):
   installed nvidia-dkms-550-open package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 10
   dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of nvidia-driver-550-open:
   nvidia-driver-550-open depends on nvidia-dkms-550-open (<= 550.54.15-1); however:
   Package nvidia-dkms-550-open is not configured yet.
   ...
   E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

3. Conclusion:
   The log confirms that spark-rapids.sh failed during apt-get install -y nvidia-driver-550-open because
   nvidia-550.54.15 open-gpu-kernel-modules failed DKMS compilation against the guest kernel (6.8.0-1060-gcp),
   causing 10 consecutive retry loops to fail and exiting with status 1.

I had previously addressed this Ubuntu 22 / Linux 6.8 NVIDIA DKMS issue in #1394.

That fix makes Ubuntu 22 use the online NVIDIA repository instead of the older driver embedded in the local CUDA repository, and selects GCC/G++ 12 for CUDA 12 driver builds. I validated it on Dataproc 2.2.82-ubuntu22 with kernel 6.8.0-1058-gcp; cluster creation succeeded and nvidia-smi reported driver 550.163.01.

I have now merged #1394 into this PR and reverted b5ab3cb. The RAPIDS version remains 26.06.0.

While checking b5ab3cb, I also reproduced two issues with that commit:

• nvidia-driver-cuda has no installation candidate in the CUDA 13.1 local Ubuntu repository.
• The non-default test combination CUDA 12.4.0 + driver 590.48.01 points to a nonexistent NVIDIA installer URL.
