clear linux fresh install #2

after fubar'ing the audio devices, taking the opportunity to write down every step

1. install nvidia drivers as per here
1. save scripts involved to a file
2. in install step #4 remove this line so nvidia-smi will work:  --no-nvidia-modprobe \
3. install nvidia-smi to path from the folder extracted with NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-440.36.run -x. I move it to /usr/bin:/opt/3rd-party/bin
2. install CUDA as per here (for CUDA 10 replace installpath with toolkitpath)
3. install cuDNN as per here (cuDNN 7.4.2.24)
