Running nvidia-smi crashes with WSL with gpu support

[ashaw596]

Running docker run --rm -e NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all nvidia/cuda:11.0-base nvidia-smi causes the error

docker: Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:370: starting container process caused: exec: "nvidia-smi": executable file not found in $PATH: unknown.

Other nvidia container calls work correctly

Have you followed all the instructions at https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/wsl/#gpu-support including being on the latest Insiders build of Windows?

[ashaw596]

I have followed all those instructions. In nvidia's website it says.

nvidia-smi is now supported but in order to use it, please copy it to /usr/bin and set appropriate permissions with the below commands:
cp /usr/lib/wsl/lib/nvidia-smi /usr/bin/nvidia-smi
chmod ogu+x /usr/bin/nvidia-smi

I wonder if it's related to this Nvidia bug: NVIDIA/nvidia-container-toolkit#148
