I'm trying to run Pytorch on a laptop that I have. It's an older model but it does have an Nvidia graphics card. I realize it is probably not going to be sufficient for real machine learning but I am trying to do it so I can learn the process of getting CUDA installed.
I have followed the steps on the installation guide for Ubuntu 18.04 (my specific distribution is Xubuntu).
My graphics card is a GeForce 845M, verified by lspci | grep nvidia:
01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM107M [GeForce 845M] (rev a2)
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation Device 0fbc (rev a1)
I also have gcc 7.5 installed, verified by gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 7.5.0-3ubuntu1~18.04) 7.5.0
Copyright (C) 2017 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

And I have the correct headers installed, verified by trying to install them with sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r):
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
linux-headers-4.15.0-106-generic is already the newest version (4.15.0-106.107).
I then followed the installation instructions using a local .deb for version 10.1.
Now, when I run nvidia-smi, I get:
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

and I run nvcc -V I get:
nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver

Cuda compilation tools, release 10.1, V10.1.243
I then performed the post-installation instructions from section 6.1, and so as a result, echo $PATH looks like this:
/home/isaek/anaconda3/envs/stylegan2_pytorch/bin:/home/isaek/anaconda3/bin:/home/isaek/anaconda3/condabin:/usr/local/cuda-10.1/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH looks like this:
/usr/local/cuda-10.1/lib64
and my /etc/udev/rules.d/40-vm-hotadd.rules file looks like this:
# On Hyper-V and Xen Virtual Machines we want to add memory and cpus as soon as they appear
ATTR{[dmi/id]sys_vendor}=="Microsoft Corporation", ATTR{[dmi/id]product_name}=="Virtual Machine", GOTO="vm_hotadd_apply"

SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ACTION=="add", DEVPATH=="/devices/system/cpu/cpu[0-9]*", TEST=="online", ATTR{online}="1"
LABEL="vm_hotadd_end"
After all of this, I even compiled and ran the samples. ./deviceQuery returns:

But after all of this, this Python snippet (in a conda environment with all dependencies installed):
import torch
torch.cuda.is_available()
returns False
Does anybody have any idea about how to resolve this? I've tried to add /usr/local/cuda-10.1/bin to etc/environment like this:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/cuda-10.1/bin
And restarting the terminal, but that didn't fix it. I really don't know what else to try.

PyTorch doesn't use the system's CUDA library. When you install PyTorch using the precompiled binaries using either pip or conda it is shipped with a copy of the specified version of the CUDA library which is installed locally. In fact, you don't even need to install CUDA on your system to use PyTorch with CUDA support.
There are two scenarios which could have caused your issue.
You installed the CPU only version of PyTorch. In this case PyTorch wasn't compiled with CUDA support so it didn't support CUDA.
You installed the CUDA 10.2 version of PyTorch. In this case the problem is that your graphics card currently uses the 418.87 drivers, which only support up to CUDA 10.1. The two potential fixes in this case would be to either install updated drivers (version >= 440.33 according to Table 2) or to install a version of PyTorch compiled against CUDA 10.1.
To determine the appropriate command to use when installing PyTorch you can use the handy widget in the "Install PyTorch" section at pytorch.org. Just select the appropriate operating system, package manager, and CUDA version then run the recommended command.
In your case one solution was to use
conda install pytorch torchvision cudatoolkit=10.1 -c pytorch
which explicitly specifies to conda that you want to install the version of PyTorch compiled against CUDA 10.1.
For more information about PyTorch CUDA compatibility with respect drivers and hardware see this answer.
Edit After you added the output of collect_env we can see that the problem was that you had the CUDA 10.2 version of PyTorch installed. Based on that an alternative solution would have been to update the graphics driver as elaborated in item 2 and the linked answer.
