I have exactly the same problem on my RTX 5090 running on Ubuntu. I tried running the example code (from here: https://pypi.org/project/nvidia-vfx) outside of ComfyUI and that too has the same problem. I've checked that my machine, drivers, etc. meet the requirements. Unfortunately, nvidia-vfx seems to be closed source so cannot investigate why this is happening.

there is no reason for it to be a wsl2/ubuntu issue right?

I don't think the problem is related to Comfy at all.
I'm getting the same error running the official example in Google Colab:
https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1mF-d2PcptP59Si6azOEGAbX25jLHPNgL?usp=sharing

Tried Nvidia L4, A100, and G4 (RTX PRO 6000), all fail with this same error.
There is probably an issue with some dependency, but it's not clear at all what it might be since the error is cryptic.

Also probably not the best place to post this, but Nvidia-VFX isn't open source so...

and then, Rebuilt the comfyui runtime environment, and use comfy --here install --restore reinstall comfyui,then, handle the problematic dependencies.

After these tedious steps, the error disappeared and it is now running normally.

Tried Nvidia L4, A100, and G4 (RTX PRO 6000), all fail with this same error. There is probably an issue with some dependency, but it's not clear at all what it might be since the error is cryptic.

Also probably not the best place to post this, but Nvidia-VFX isn't open source so...

If its the same error code (-14) that you are getting, then I don't think the message is as cryptic as the other code (-12). The error message (for code -14) states the device lacks the capability, so my first hunch would be to check the driver versions. On the pypi project it states that:

Linux: 570.190+, 580.82+, or 590.44+

is required. In my case I had 580.75, so I upgraded to 580.105, and the error went away. Since you are using colab, I am not sure if upgrading drivers is an option.

I don't think the problem is related to Comfy at all. I'm getting the same error running the official example in Google Colab: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1mF-d2PcptP59Si6azOEGAbX25jLHPNgL?usp=sharing
Tried Nvidia L4, A100, and G4 (RTX PRO 6000), all fail with this same error. There is probably an issue with some dependency, but it's not clear at all what it might be since the error is cryptic.
Also probably not the best place to post this, but Nvidia-VFX isn't open source so...

If its the same error code (-14) that you are getting, then I don't think the message is as cryptic as the other code (-12). The error message (for code -14) states the device lacks the capability, so my first hunch would be to check the driver versions. On the pypi project it states that:

Linux: 570.190+, 580.82+, or 590.44+

is required. In my case I had 580.75, so I upgraded to 580.105, and the error went away. Since you are using colab, I am not sure if upgrading drivers is an option.

That makes sense, but newer drivers are not stable at all, I'm tired of testing NV drivers on linux, so just let it be, the upscaling is fast but not good enough to make me reinstall all of these.

In the Colab environment:

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| NVIDIA-SMI 580.82.07              Driver Version: 580.82.07      CUDA Version: 13.0     |
+-----------------------------------------+------------------------+----------------------+

Which matches the project requirements. So who knows. The requirements might be wrong, or it might be an issue somewhere else.

a) its never going to work on T4 on Colab, since its Tesla architecture
b) you can try running !ldconfig -p | grep nvidia and verify if you see anything. TL;DR it needs the nvidia specific linkers and not just CUDA / TensorRT. if you don't see anything then the (-14) error code is valid. if you see some entries, you need to look for specifically libnvidia-ngx.so without this linker, even if everything else is present, you will run into -12 error code.

The Tesla T4 is based on the Turing arch, not the Tesla arch. I think the real reason is that @jorgemcgomes needs to use a driver version equal to or newer than 580.83, 580.82.xx is not included in 580.82+.
