Thanks. I will save that contact for the future.

After installing CUDA 9 and rebuilding the binary everything works as expected.

So CUDA 9 fixed GUI issues too? Weird :spin:

By the way, do you get better render times with CUDA 9?

Apparently, because libpng-dev v1.6.28-1 was installed already.
No performance increase compared to CUDA 8.
CUDA 9 has some optimizations in its libraries but Blender uses own optimization.

I installed “libpython3.6-dev” package and it solved the problem.

Update for the future—it’s now libpython3.9-dev, which may need to be installed from PPA ppa:deadsnakes/ppa if you’re on a slightly older Ubuntu-based distribution.
