could not select driver with capabilities [[gpu]]

[Moos-7]

Ask away!

I installed the Windows installer package of Epi2me desktop. Installation seems to be fine, wsl+nextflow setup are ok. When testing 'Basecalling' with the demo data ('Run demo analysis') the process was killed with error "could not select driver "" with capabilieties [[gpu]].
Any suggestions how to avoid this? Is it simply possible to disable GPU support?

There are special notes regarding Windows in the README.

Basecalling without a GPU is not recommended due to the time required.

Dear Chris,thanks for your quick reply! There are 2 GPUs available, but epi2me-desktop is obviously not able to use them in the WSL2. Is there a trick to circumvent this?Best, Von meinem/meiner Galaxy gesendet -------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht --------Von: Chris Wright ***@***.***> Datum: 28.09.24 16:33 (GMT+01:00) An: epi2me-labs/wf-basecalling ***@***.***> Cc: Moos-7 ***@***.***>, Author ***@***.***> Betreff: Re: [epi2me-labs/wf-basecalling] could not select driver with capabilities [[gpu]] (Issue #49) There are special notes regarding Windows in the README.

The links in the README describe how to get GPUs working with WSL2 on Windows. I can't really provide any better help than those articles.

MinKNOW can also be used for post-sequencing basecalling, or you can use Dorado directly from the command-line.
