Anybody could run fleX demo on ubuntu 17.10? It seems theres some problem(s) in creating CUDA context on my Uhuntu 17.10 (64bit) machine. also, after some googling i couldnt find any complete documention/tutorial about fleX; please guide me or give me some link..

Can you run the demo with sudo?

I've got the same issue on ubuntu 17.10 with cuda 8.0.61 (which is available in ubuntu repo)

NvFlexDemoReleaseCUDA_x64 printed "Error creating CUDA context." and exited.

It happened because of NvFlexDeviceCreateCudaContext() in demo/main.cpp returned false

It doesn't fail with cuda 9.2 (you need to download it from nvidia site)

Or you can just comment out exit() call in demo/main.cpp:

	bool success = NvFlexDeviceCreateCudaContext(g_device);

	if (!success)
	{
		printf("Error creating CUDA context.\n");
//		exit(-1);
	}

Looks like success = false doesn't affect anything, at least on my machine all demo scenes works perfectly.
