Avalanche unable to use cuda device.

[jodie-kang]

🐛 Describe the bug
UserWarning: CUDA initialization: The NVIDIA driver on your system is too old (found version 11050). Please update your GPU driver by downloading and installing a new version from the URL: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx Alternatively, go to: https://pytorch.org to install a PyTorch version that has been compiled with your version of the CUDA driver. (Triggered internally at ../c10/cuda/CUDAFunctions.cpp:108.)

🐜 To Reproduce

Installation Process:

• conda create -n avalanche-env python=3.8
• conda activate avalanche-env
• pip install -i https://pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/simple avalanche-lib

Observations: Automatic installation of torch-2.1.0

Attempt 1: Manual installation of the GPU version of PyTorch:
conda install pytorch==1.12.1 torchvision==0.13.1 torchaudio==0.12.1 cudatoolkit=11.3 -c pytorch

Encountered an error: TypeError: BaseSGDTemplate.init() missing 2 required positional arguments: 'model' and 'optimizer'

Observation: The above command led to automatic uninstallation of torch-2.1.0

Attempt 2: pip install typing-extensions==4.4.0, but the problem persists

Attempt 3: Created a conda environment with Python=3.10, but the issue remains unresolved.

🐝 Expected behavior
Due to certain reasons, I lack permission to change the CUDA version on the server. Are there any alternative methods to address the above issue?

🐞 Screenshots

🦋 Additional context
NVIDIA-SMI 495.46 Driver Version: 495.46 CUDA Version: 11.5

I first installed torch 1.13.1, where torch.cuda.is_available() returned True.
However, after installing avalanche-lib, torch 1.13.1 was automatically uninstalled and torch 2.1.0 was forcefully installed, resulting in torch.cuda.is_available() returning False.

avalanche-lib：0.4.0

looks like an environment issue due to installing pytorch with conda and avalanche with pip.
Try to install both with pip. If you still have the issue, try:

conda install typing_extensions==4.4.0
pip install typing_extensions==4.4.0
