Issue with tensor flow (undefined symbol: cuDevicePrimaryCtxRetain) #9866

When I try to import tensorflow in python I get this issue:
Note: It was working fine yesterday. It is really strange that today it no longer works.
Also note: This is my first time to ever post a question online, as I prefer to find answers to my own problems. The issue here is that there is no documentation on this problem online and I am hitting a wall on ideas for once for how to resolve it. I am using TF without gpu support, but am hopeful the capable team on this git can at least tell me if the problem on my end or not. I realize it is likely something on my end, but a response to verify that would be helpful, even if the problem is perceived as too simple to bother with.

import tensorflow as tf

Please provide details about what platform you are using (operating system, architecture). Also include your TensorFlow version. Also, did you compile from source or install a binary? If you are unclear what to include see the issue template displayed in the Github new issue template.

We ask for this in the issue submission template, because it is really difficult to help without that information. Thanks!

Thank you for the response. It appears to be an issue with Cuda and driver compatibility on an older laptop. Closing ticket.
