Linux commands not working after sourcing this file about switch-cuda HOT 4 CLOSED

hi @sbaktha! can you provide a few more details:

• which operating system do you use?
• do you use bash or a different shell?
• does nvidia-smi work properly before you run source switch-cuda.sh?
• after you sourced the script, is nvidia-smi not found anymore or does it provide an error message?

if your environment variables point to /usr/local/cuda-10.2 (e.g., your PATH looks like this: ...:/usr/local/cuda-10.2/bin:...), then creating a symlink does not change anything.

Hi, I figured another way to do this by using aliases to just edit the path variables directly. But I would love your help in figuring this out.
I'm using Ubuntu 18.04
My shell is zsh (oh-my-zsh to manage the configuration)
nvidia-smi works perfectly before sourcing this

I found the source of the error. My path variable is pointing only to the cuda directory and nothing else after sourcing the script. So even the basic shell commands (ls, cd ..) and of course other commands as well are not working.

So I take it that since my shell is ZSH, it is messing up. Any help on how to make this work on zsh would be much appreciated.

You can use emulate sh -c "source switch-cuda.sh" in zsh
