I accidentally installed TensorFlow for Ubuntu/Linux 64-bit, GPU enabled. When I installed with Linux 64-bit CPU only, I am getting Segmentation fault while importing tensorflow from python console.

  • Did you try first importing numpy and then importing tensorflow?

Depends on how you install it considering the fact that there are multiple ways to do it here. Most generic way people do it is through pip, check using:

sudo pip show tensorflow

Uninstall using:

sudo pip uninstall protobuf
sudo pip uninstall tensorflow

Install it using:

sudo pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/cpu/tensorflow-0.8.0-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl

When running in conda env or any virtual env sudo doesn't work. So you can use:

python3 -m pip uninstall protobuf    
python3 -m pip uninstall tensorflow-gpu

python3 -m is safest way to ensure that you are using pip3 and not pip2.
