I need an Ubuntu 24.04 virtual machine running on VMware to pick up my NVIDIA card so I can run machine-learning workloads. The job is purely the installation and configuration of everything required for the guest OS to recognise and fully utilise the GPU (nvidia-smi must work). Key points • VMware host is already installed and stable; you decide whether PCI passthrough, vGPU or another VMware feature makes most sense. • Inside the VM I will need the correct NVIDIA driver, CUDA toolkit and cuDNN ready for TensorFlow or PyTorch later on. • Once complete I should be able to launch a quick test script that confirms the GPU is visible from within Ubuntu. Deliverable A step-by-step session (screenshare or detailed command log) that leaves the VM running and the GPU operational, plus any commands I can rerun if I ever have to rebuild the machine.

Hi, I can configure your Ubuntu 24.04 VMware virtual machine so it can detect and use the NVIDIA GPU for machine learning workloads. I’ll first check your VMware host setup, GPU model, driver compatibility, and whether PCI passthrough or vGPU is the correct path for your system. Then I’ll install and configure the NVIDIA driver, CUDA toolkit, cuDNN, and verify GPU access inside Ubuntu with NVIDIA SMI and a small TensorFlow or PyTorch readiness test. I understand the main goal is not just installing packages, but leaving you with a working VM where the GPU is actually usable from inside Ubuntu. I’ll also provide a clear command log or walkthrough notes so you can repeat the setup later if the VM needs to be rebuilt. Please share your VMware version, host OS, NVIDIA GPU model, and whether your hardware supports passthrough, and I can start the setup cleanly. Best regards Ankit
