Comment 0 for bug 1388217

From a Python terminal (python2 or python3):

>>> import pycuda.autoinit
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pycuda/autoinit.py", line 4, in <module>
    cuda.init()
pycuda._driver.Error: cuInit failed: unknown

This worked in Ubuntu 12.04, fails in Ubuntu 12.10.

I can manually compile and run at least this example (devicequery):

and my system is using the proprietary NVIDIA drivers, so CUDA appears to be configured properly on my system.
