Does anyone get Suricata-ids work with --Cuda-enabled on Ubuntu 18.04

Hello there,
I'm work the last day's/weeks to get Suricata 4.04 run with Cuda from the repository(nvidia-cuda-toolkit) on Ubuntu 18.04 and i try it also on Debian Stretch.
I got a few minor successes, but i got it never to work.
It where nice to hear that somebody managed it.

Thanks for all comments.

i know officially is this in deprecated state (https://suricata-ids.org/about/deprecation-policy/)

I'm moving this thread to Linux-Software where it may get better exposure.

4.0.4 was released as Stable in February of 2018.

Under their site there is a Docs tab covering install guides. If you go into the install guide, they support both Debian and Ubuntu and cite that they work on Ubuntu versions 14, 16, 17, and 18. Recommend you re-review some of those documents to see if you've followed the recommended procedures for install or compile+install.

Thanks for moving this thread rtmistler,

i know Suricata is stable and work fine on Debian and Ubuntu, but i want to use my GPU for compute.
Suricata had the feature to use Nvidia Cuda for compute, but this feature is deprecated and i still try this.
They have a tutorial, yes, but this is too old and don't work today.
So any other tutorial that i found on goolge doesn't let it work and i think there too old too.
