Updated for Kali 2.0 Sana
Hey guys, I'm rewriting this to use the repo as Kali Sana looks to have up-to-date nvidia drivers straight out of the gate.
NVIDIA Driver 352.21
CUDA 7.5.18 (the repo has 6.0.37-5, it's a bit old so I'm manually installing 7.5.18)
VirtualGL 2.4.90
Pyrit v308 (optional)
cudaHashcat (optional)
Couple of points
1. This guide and all GPU passthrough software such as cuda_pyrit and cudahashcat will never work if run from within a Virtual Machine. Please don't post that it does not work for you in a VM because you should have read this.
2. I'm going to assume that you are either on a fresh install of Kali or have the skills to clean up any conflicting software.
3. I run 64bit software. If you don't, change the files you download to match what you use. (Edit: CUDA does not support 32bit anymore)
4. If you have any issues or if something does not work, follow the template linked here (https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?21956-(Guide)-Installing-Nvidia-Bumblebee-CUDA-for-Optimus-enabled-Laptops&p=35242&viewfull=1#post35242) and post the results of all commands.
Lets get started.
1. Update Kali
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade
2. Download VirtualGL and install it. Grab the latest non-beta
http://sourceforge.net/projects/virtualgl/files/
Install with:
cd ~
dpkg -i virtualgl*.deb
3. Download CUDA 7.5. Grab the x64 or 14.04 *.run file (should be 1.1gb)
https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads
5. Install linux headers for your kernel
apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
6. Install dependencies we will need later. The first two are for CUDA and the last is for pyrit
apt-get install freeglut3-dev libxmu-dev libpcap-dev
7. Update system PATH. Notice that the PATH references CUDA 7.5. If you have a different version, change it to match.
nano ~/.bashrc
Add the following line and then save and close bashrc
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/VirtualGL/bin:/usr/local/cuda-7.5/bin
8. Export the system path. We export the path from terminal so we can take advantage of it without restart. Run the following in terminal
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/VirtualGL/bin:/usr/local/cuda-7.5/bin
9. Install bumblebee-nvidia and primus. Just press enter when the messages appear and ignore the warning about rrmod.
apt-get install bumblebee-nvidia primus
10. Edit the bumblebee config file so bumblebee knows we are using the NVIDIA driver. Change the 'Driver=' value. Should be line 22. The module from the repo driver is 'nvidia-current' but we set 'nvidia' here so that the nvidia section of bumblebee.conf is called.
nano +22 /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf
Make it read:
Driver=nvidia
check line 55 and make sure it reads:
KernelDriver=nvidia-current
Save and close
11. Run the following and record the PCI address of your video card. It will look similar to 03:00.0
lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D'
12. Edit the xorg.conf.nvidia file so it knows the PCI address of your video card. Note that the last group of numbers is now seperated with a ":" instead of a ".". We are editing under the area 'Section "Device"'
nano /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia
Section "Device"
Identifier "DiscreteNvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BusID "PCI:03:00:0"
14. Reboot
shutdown -r now
15. Now we have restarted, test the driver. glxsheres64 will test the driver and modinfo nvidia will show the version loaded.
optirun glxspheres64
modinfo nvidia
16. Prepare CUDA for install
cd ~
chmod +x cuda*.run
17. Run the CUDA install
./cuda*.run
Accept the EULA
Select yes to unsupported configuration
No to graphics driver
Yes to the toolkit
Accept default location
Yes to symbolic link
Yes to samples
Yes to default samples location
The toolkit will install
18. Set up the dynamic linker for CUDA. Notice that this is slightly different than the path added for .bashrc
nano /etc/ld.so.conf
Match the contents below
include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
/usr/local/cuda-7.5/lib64
19. Excute the following to load our changes
ldconfig
20. Install libcuda1. You will get an incorrect driver version error if you don't.
apt-get install libcuda1
21. Build the NVIDIA samples so we can confirm CUDA is working with optirun
cd /root/NVIDIA_CUDA-7.5_Samples/1_Utilities/deviceQuery/
make
22. Run deviceQuery and then post your pass! If you see a pass, it all worked out! If not, follow the link at the start of the guide and post everything asked.
optirun ./deviceQuery

Optional Installs - cudaHashcat and Pyrit
This section is for optional installs. If you installed CUDA on Kali, Im tipping these are both applications you are interested in.
Points
1. If you have any issues installing any of this, post the complete output of any commands entered.
cudaHashcat
You have two options, download the archive from the hashcat website and install it manually (sorry, I'm not going into that. If you need instructions, check their wiki)
The second option is download my deb file. You can install it with a single command and then call cuda hashcat with either 'cudahashcat64' (for 64bit) or 'cudahashcat32' (for 32bit). Grab and install it from the link below.
Disclaimer
While some forum members make use of my deb, I am not a member of either the hashcat team or the Kali dev team. I could have edited the contents of the deb in any way (including maliciously). Take care when downloading from unknown sources. I provide no warranty and do not claim that it is fit for any purpose, including that which it is intended.
I repackaged the hashcat binary in accordance with their EULA so it would install easily on Kali. I also removed non-linux binaries.
1. cudahashcat 2.01
https://mega.nz/#!sZFngKJR!njrug2Y4nxs0aHemQg-SKKGAmXiK1XeALTtnP8IGYNU
dpkg -i cudahashcat-2.01.deb
2. cudahashcat 1.36
https://mega.co.nz/#!gAtAQDJY!x9FIs2ssQ66HmlXMdGDUiPI-l45el0dAFUpaGTm_P-0
dpkg -i cudahashcat-1.36.deb
3. cudahashcat 1.35
https://mega.co.nz/#!dN8ESI7D!-jxoTZBwVddzKZ2r0MuQ5T4sDJZ5NSOnkrNvxpDuNNg
dpkg -i cudahashcat-1.35.deb
4. cudahashcat 1.34
https://mega.co.nz/#!0Z9DHBob!0QA3clJqszGEExTKlKTBPLJEoDvXIiBwBepiYgW Zbew

5. cudahashcat 1.33
https://mega.co.nz/#!oQNQhRyT!gTSxCEB5APkMgdaJl_k91h_9lgwK4LWUfwfTdGH AbEU
dpkg -i cudahashcat-1.33.deb
6. cudahashcat 1.31 (seems to be faster than 1.33)
https://mega.co.nz/#!kFMC2RQC!D1ccQYAwsWyGKD0CaV4W7n5Ghtc-YKFFxs7Qj1pgcw0
dpkg -i cudahashcat-1.31.deb
The deb sums are
cudahashcat 2.01
md5sum = 69a9289e05a6e4b25728d5738a48f76c
cudahashcat 1.36
md5sum = f4ea04116a8495ea3e850fc993220554
cudahashcat 1.35
md5sum = ccdc7ebf4c4a947d14fa663a982e3c10
cudahashcat 1.34
md5sum = e611e16ab1f3c42c5e98d3ef615a0cd4
cudahashcat 1.33
md5sum = 82f4975f02af1288de058c93552b981d
cudahashcat 1.31
md5sum = b753c393264b3c40e51f057a96f3f6e9
Test it with
optirun cudahashcat64 -t 32 -a 7 example0.hash ?a?a?a?a example.dict
To remove it
dpkg -r cudahashcat-2.01
and check the following directories and files are removed
/usr/bin/cudahashcat32 (file)
/usr/bin/cudahashcat64 (file)
/usr/share/cudahashcat (directory)
Pyrit
The following instructions are slightly modified from the pyrit google code page here
https://code.google.com/p/pyrit/wiki/Installation
1. Move to your home directory (I'm installing it there) and then check out the pyrit trunk
cd ~
svn checkout http://pyrit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ pyrit_svn
2. Build and install pyrit
cd pyrit_svn/pyrit/
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
3. Add CUDA support
cd ../cpyrit_cuda/
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
4. Test pyrit
optirun pyrit benchmark

Reporting your issues
Most issues people have are a simple typo in their config files. Double check them before posting. I know this is a lot of commands to go through, but many users are new and experience delays in posting. Not giving enough information can result in multiple day turn arounds.
1. Use the [*CODE] brackets to paste the output of commands (the open and close code brackets are [*CODE] and [*/CODE] without the *. Put all the text between them.
Commands to execute
1.
lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D'
2.
modprobe nvidia
3.
modprobe nvidia-uvm
4.
optirun glxspheres64
5.
dmesg | tail -n 100
6.
echo $PATH

Great guide staticn0de!
- This post edited with download links for an OFF-Line installation on Kali 1.1.0 -
Download CUDA, VirtualGL, Nvidia, CudaHashcat, from previous posts above.
This does not include Kali Linux updates or Headers. Just the extra packs required for this guide.
All links point to Debian wheezy(stable) packages whenever possible or equivalent/default.
Scroll down the page at Debian and choose your architecture under "Download".
Choose a server to download from.
All packs go in Home, the /root directory. Remove them when installation is done.
Install from root with
dpkg -i name.deb
(6.) Download and Install dependencies for CUDA and Pyrit.
freeglut3-dev
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/freeglut3-dev
libxmu-headers
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/libxmu-headers
libxmu-dev
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/libxmu-dev
libpcap-dev
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/libpcap-dev
(9.) Download and Install bumblebee and primus.
linux-headers (another "linux headers")(mine was linux-headers-amd64_3.18+63+kali2.1_amd64.deb)
http://ftp.tku.edu.tw/kali/pool/main/l/linux-latest/
dkms
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/dkms

Optional. Download and Install Pyrit and add-on for Nvidia CUDA.
pyrit_svn 0.4.1-dev svn r308
From Linux, enter in a console;
svn checkout http://pyrit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ pyrit_svn
That will download a folder in /root (Home) named, pyrit_svn
That folder is pyrit 0.4.1 svn r308. You can then save that folder for later off-line installations.
Built and install Pyrit and add CUDA support.
cd pyrit_svn/pyrit/
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
cd ../cpyrit_cuda/
python setup.py build
python setup.py install

Great guide staticn0de!
Everyting worked well, until...
my output was
:(
Any advice?
Many thanks staticn0de I'm getting closer! ;)
I'm not sure what's causing that, but let's see if we can get you sorted out.
To start, run:
diff /usr/src/nvidia-current-331.67/Module.symvers /usr/src/nvidia-current-331.67/uvm/Module.symvers
Any feedback from the above command means you need to delete the Module.symvers from the folder on the right and copy from the directory on the left into the directory on the right again. Once copied, run make in the uvm/ folder and copy it to /lib/modules/3.14-kali1-amd64/updates/dkms/
Post the feedback from below:
echo $PATH
Post the feedback from:
cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf
Post the feedback from:
ls /lib/modules/3.14-kali1-amd64/updates/dkms
Run modprobe nvidia-uvm and then run dmesg right after. Post the output in code brackets.
Run lsmod and post output in code brackets
You could also try modprobe nvidia and then modprobe nvidia-current and then modprobe nvidia-uvm
Edit: Some other cool stuff you could try is a:
depmod -a
modprobe nvidia-uvm
and then post the output of:
cat /lib/modules/3.14-kali1-amd64/modules.dep | grep -i nvidia
the odds are that it was the operator(me), though I would like to reassure you that I fallowed your guide precisely, on a fresh installation of Kali 1.0.7 x64. I can even point out a small mistake in a syntax(induced by LibreOffice auto correction)
First, install the linux headers. We need this so we can compile bbswitch later
apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname –r) I did however strugeled alot with the nano console, as I did not know how to save changes. Save with F2, then Y, then "File Name to Write: xxxxxx, Enter
Last night I decided to re-install, so I will do it again, then if I still encounter the same problem, I will proceed with post#5 and report back.
Thank you my friend

Good pickup! I've fixed it now.
As for nano, control + x, then y and then enter will save your changes and then close the file.
Exact ame results as yesterday.

I don't believe a bug is causing this as It's working here. Like all things linux, it will be a one liner somewhere that will fix it.
Would you please post your /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf and xorg.nvidia.conf in the same directory.
The way it works is that nvidia-uvm depends on the nvidia-current module. We know that works because you can use optirun glxspheres.
Did you have any useful dmesg feedback from after the modprobe?
Did you add the cuda libraries and then run ldconfig? I'm sure you did, but I was just going through the feedback you posted (I assume you omitted doing it because I didn't ask for it)
Hopefully we can get this sorted out soon
xD yes it definitely feels like the setup is missing a line somewhere.
Here is the output of bumblebee.conf and xorg.conf.nvidia..

I can't remember if I had any useful dmesg feedback from after the modprobe.
I did add the cuda libraries and then run ldconfig. Yes. I can reinstall again and copy the info from ldconfig and modprobe if need be.
Let me know if I can provide anything else for the investigation ;)
you know what, everything is fine until that step..
Now to fix the nvidia-uvm module (You don't know this yet, but it's broken.)
cd /usr/src/nvidia-current-331.67
make
cp Module.symvers uvm/
cd uvm/
make
Can you confirm that:
1. capital 'M' in "Module.symvers uvm/" syntax
2. the nvidia-uvm module is really broken, and needs fixing
I will try without fixing tomorrow see what happens. Now I'm going to dream about using piryt and hashcat :)
Nevermind the above post.
After a 3rd reinstall. Same results.
Here are some interesting bits, that might have nothing to do with it(?)

This worked perfectly for me. Thanks staticn0de.
Let me understand something here... Why are we working with driver 331.67, and only that version. Is it because of bumblebee? (I'm quite stubborn and still looking for a solution, even within an obvious failure framework).
In any case, thank you staticn0de :)

Hi there Quest,
You don't have to use that driver version. That is just what is in the wheezy backports repo.
I have not tried a newer version on Kali (I've used 337 on Ubuntu with bumblebee - that had its own issues)
To install a newer version, you will need to add the Jessie or Sid repo.
Jessie is the testing repo and has the 337.19-1 driver under the name nvidia-driver or the transitional package Nvidia-glx.
Sid is the unstable repo and has nvidia 331.79-1 under the same names as that above.
These should work if you want to try them. I'm sure you understand how easily you can break Kali with unsupported repos (wheezy backports is not much better I'm sure)
deb http://http.debian.net/debian sid main contrib non-free

For those interested, much to my amazement I was able to get Nvidia 340.24 working on Kali
root@kali:/proc/driver/nvidia# cat version
NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 340.24 Wed Jul 2 14:24:20 PDT 2014
GCC version: gcc version 4.7.2 (Debian 4.7.2-5)
It was a bit of an "unclean" install as I kind of had to force it on there, but glxspheres64 and optirun is working. I'll try and get CUDA 6 working and keep you posted. If I get it, i'll clean up the process and post that too.
Edit:
It's looking promising!
deviceQuery, CUDA Driver = CUDART, CUDA Driver Version = 6.5, CUDA Runtime Version = 6.0, NumDevs = 1, Device0 = GeForce GT 740M
Result = PASS
staticn0de, thankyou for the work that went into this write up. It worked really well. I did have one issue but solved it here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/bumblebee
that's cool :)
even though most can figure it out for themselves, I was thinking that maybe(?) it would be nice to have all the command lines, and links to, an OFF_LINE installation. There's nothing wrong with this procedure as is, but we already DLing CUDA (and now probly new NVIDIA drivers), so maybe DL everything and than install?
I'm not a big fan of being dependent on the Internet for installations, for one, and I've had my connexion cut or network manager shut down my connexion while fallowing this guide more than once. Nothing bad happened as a result, but it made me think that I'd be better off-line.
So without changing this guide(because it works beautifully), an 'off-Line Annex' would be appreciated. Just a link in the first post pointing to another post with the command lines/links to firstly DL everything and then the command lines to install from Home *if I have everything I need in Home maybe the whole installation can be scripted hmmm [evil laugh]* Just saying.
staticn0de, thank you for the write-up!
I did everything succesfully and the tests worked, but I'm unsure about a few things.
1. If the nVidia driver automatically removes nouveau then why is there a xorg.conf.nouveau file in the /etc/bumblebee directory?
2. How can I make sure the nVidia driver is the default driver at startup?
3. Lastly, when I lsmod | grep nvidia there is no output, when I lsmod | grep nouveau there is also no output. Shouldn't at least one of them show something?

Hi there, don't mistake my guide as making me an expert on bumblebee, but i'll try and answer your question.
1. The nvidia driver does not remove nouveau, bumblebee changes between the graphics card which includes disabling one driver and enabling the nvidia driver. Both remain on the system. The xorg.conf.nouveau does not matter as it is only called if you set driver=nouveau in the bumblebee.conf file.
2. You don't set nvidia to start at start up. The reason bumblebee is used is so you can benefit from the power saving of having the intel card in use when the graphics card is not needed. When you use optirun glxspheres64 (for example) the nvidia card is enabled which uses more power so that the graphicly demanding application has a performance boost.
3. Unless you have used optirun, the nvidia modules will not be loaded. For example, run the command lsmod | grep -i nvidia and you will receive nothing. Run optirun glxspheres64 and while it is running use lsmod | grep -i nvidia and it will display the nvidia modules are the driver has loaded to use the discrete card.
Thank you! that really brings it all together for me. I usually have to run the optispheres64 command twice before it works, but everything is working perfectly other than that. Really appreciate it!

Hmmm I like the idea, it would save some effort. My concern is that bumblebee is a decent effort to compile and then install. That, and it has dependencies. And those dependencies have dependencies.Trying to install all them without a repo would be a pain.
On another note, if you can't go to the mountain, you can always bring the mountain to you. You could host your own repo on your local network. I've looked into it but Kali looks after it a little different to other distros where you can just clone them with rsync. If you had a local repo, you won't need the internet anymore. This clearly isn't the solution for everyone....
In short, I don't really have the time (and maybe not the skill!) to document the requirements for this as an offline install. Although, I'm about to type up the CUDA6 and NVIDIA 340.24 version and with the exception of bumblebee (not bumblebee-nvidia) it is an offline install. It's easier to install than what I already wrote as it does not need manual modifications to nvidia-uvm.ko.

The following will install the latest at the time (340.24) NVIDIA driver and latest CUDA (version 6) on Kali with
Bumblebee for Optimus laptops. Usual notes about clean installs and selecting either 32bit or 64bit depending on your
needs from the first page still apply.
First, update and upgrade Kali to latest

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/virtualgl/2.3.3/virtualgl_2.3.3_amd64.deb?r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourcefor ge.net%2Fprojects%2Fvirtualgl%2Ffiles%2F2.3.3%2F&ts=1404718514&use_mirror=ufpr
Download CUDA (this is V6 64bit)
http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/6_0/rel/installers/cuda_6.0.37_linux_64.run
Download the nvidia*.run driver. Follow the bouncing ball to get what you need for your hardware
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
Install VirtualGL
cd ~
dpkg -i virtualgl*.deb
Add the path for VirtualGL to .bashrc
nano ~/.bashrc
Add a line somewhere near the top that reads:
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/VirtualGL/bin
Export the path so we don't have to log out and in. Run the following from terminal
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/VirtualGL/bin
Install the linux headers
apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
Some dependencies for CUDA later
apt-get install freeglut3-dev libxmu-dev
Add the wheezy backports Repo (yes, still needed for bumblebee but not the NVIDIA driver)
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Add the following line to the file and then save
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy-backports main contrib non-free
apt-get update
Install bumblebee (not bumblebee-nvidia)
apt-get install bumblebee primus
Edit the bumblebee.conf file
nano /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf
Change line 22 so it reads:
Driver=nvidia
We do not need to edit line 55 as the module the nvidia installer will build is called nvidia and not nvidia-current.
Save and close.
Run the following and record your PCI address for your video card. It will look similar to 03:00.0
lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D'
Edit xorg.conf.nvidia and add a line under the 'Section "Device"' area so that is matches what is shown below. Change the bus ID to match what you recorded previously and take note that you recored a . before the last number and it is now a ':'. You need the ':'.
Section "Device"
Identifier "DiscreteNvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BusID "PCI:03:00:0"
Change NVIDIA installer permissions
cd ~
chmod +x NVIDIA*.run
You now need to close gdm3 because it can't be running for the driver install. Record what you need now. If you don't get a login screen when you close gdm3, press control + alt + F1
/etc/init.d/gdm3 stop
Now the install
cd ~
./NVIDIA*.run --dkms -z
Accept the EULA
Select yes to register the kernel module with DKMS
No to libs (unless you want them)
Ok to acknowledge the website libs
The install will take place
Do not run X-Config. Select NO.
The installer will close.
Restart kali with
shutdown -r now
When rebooted, run optirun glxspheres64 and confirm it's working. A 'modinfo nvidia' will show that you now have the 340.24 module loaded.
To install CUDA, chmod the installer first
cd ~
chmod +x cuda*.run
And now to install
./cuda*.run
Accept the EULA
Select yes to unsupporrted configuration
No to graphics driver
Yes to the toolkit
Accept default location
Yes to symbolic link
Yes to samples
Yes to default samples location
The toolkit will install
For the path, we will add a little more to what we defined for VirtualGL. It should look like this in your bashrc file
nano ~./bashrc
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/VirtualGL/bin:/usr/local/cuda-6.0/bin
Run the following so we don't have to log out
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/VirtualGL/bin:/usr/local/cuda-6.0/bin
Edit the following file so the contents match those shown below
nano /etc/ld.so.conf
include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
/usr/local/cuda-6.0/lib64
Save and close
Run:
ldconfig
Build the nvidia samples
cd /root/NVIDIA_CUDA-6.0_Samples
make
Follow the steps from the second post to run the CUDA deviceQuery script and you should see pass.
Remember to remove or comment out the wheezy backports repo

python setup.py install
Now, what we have been waiting for this entire time. Lets see it work.
optirun pyrit benchmark
:D
as a side note, after all this my Kali installation went from a little less then 8Gb to 11Gb. Interesting...

Run the command below to confirm that bumblebee is working
optirun glxspheres64
Hi,
I have the following problem: when I enter this last command optirun glxspheres64, my screen goes totally black and my nvidia vgas start to run on full speed (vents go on full throttle) and after 20s my laptop shuts down. I suppose my hardware causes the peoblem, I have 3VGAs: the integrated intel hd4400, and 2 nvidia gt750M. I don't want to use SLI, I only want to use one VGA which makes me able to change the kali's resolution to fullhd.

I don't want to use SLI, I only want to use one VGA which makes me able to change the kali's resolution to fullhd.
Hi there,
I've been doing some reading on SLI (I have just about the cheapest laptop I could buy so I don't have it) and it requires a little extra configuration in the /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia file.
So, when you run the command:
lspci | grep VGA
You should see two nvidia cards with two BusID. You will need to configure both within the /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia file.
So, within that file, add those BusIDs under the Device section. After that, you need to find the section which includes a bunch of "Option" settings (bottom of the file). Add a new line with:
Option "SLI" "AA"
Read more about it here, it's writen for arch but the config files are the same. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA#Enabling_SLI
Did you use the latest Nvidia 340 drivers or did you install the ones from the first post? If you tried the first post, try the latest drivers.

Edit Again: After all that is below, I did reinstall the packages autoremove removed with the exception of libplrpc-perl as it was not in the repo.
apt-get install libnet-daemon-perl memtest86+ syslinux-themes-debian syslinux-themes-debian-wheezy
Everything works with the exception of memtest86 (but that is a known bug as I am EFI booting)
Edit:
Ok, so I an update (see next post) and had the same error. It's not related to bumblebee or nvidia (it's a repo issue)
Boot into Kali recovery mode and run:
apt-get autoremove
After that, reboot. Should be back in Kali.
Run
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and you should have no more errors.
The following are the packages which were removed under my apt-get autoremove. I have not tried reinstalling them yet.
libnet-daemon-perl libplrpc-perl memtest86+ syslinux-themes-debian syslinux-themes-debian-wheezy
From looking at the packages which were updated just before all this happened, I'd hazard a guess and say updating either of the following caused the broken package
syslinux or syslinux-common

Thank You staticn0de
apt-get autoremove cleared the issue but it still not resolve the bumblebee problem. I have now the following problems:

Few things,
That may be a hard drive error. Check your hard drive smart stats and run a test.
Otherwise, did bumblebee install correctly?
I'll need some information. Post the results of the following commands
uname -r
cat /etc/modprobe.d/bumblebee.conf
Run optirun glxspheres64 and then run
dmesg
lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D'
What version of Kali are you using?
Are you 32bit or 64bit?
The important part is you have this in your /etc/modprobe.d/bumblebee.conf file
blacklist nouveau
Hey n0de, thanks for this write up! There's one problem I'm experiencing:
The drivers are correctly installed when I check 'modinfo nvidia', but when I run the command 'optirun glxspheres64' I get the error:
[ 2037.152986] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0. Please
[ 2037.153044] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.
When I check lspci | egrep "VGA|3D" it comes back as a 3D controller, not VGA. Not sure if that matters when configuring /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia
Also, I noticed in your updated post you didn't include
Now install the nvidia drivers
apt-get install nvidia-glx
Are there not certain dependencies needed from this? Cause even when I run glxspheres64 I get
Polygons in scene: 62464
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
ERROR (603): Could not obtain RGB visual with requested properties
Thanks again!! I'm looking forward to finally getting my video card recognized.

Hey there,
nvidia-glx is not required for the second install. This is a transitional package to install the older drivers.
That being said, i'm going to need a lot more information from you to help.
use the
brackets to paste the output of commands (the code close bracket is a [*/CODE] without the *. Put all the text between them.
run optirun glxspheres64 and then paste the output of the command below. The last 30 lines or so.
[CODE]dmesg
Paste your /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf
Paste your /etc/bumblebee/xorg.nvidia.conf
Paste the output of
lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D'
Paste the output of
modinfo nvidia
and
modinfo nvidia-uvm
and
echo $PATH
Paste the output of
find 2> /dev/null / -name nvidia*.ko
That should do for a start
Thanks for the quick reply, but I won't be able to respond until later tonight. I'll edit this once I can.
Hi staticn0de!
so everything was working fine, but then when I tried to use cowpatty/pyrit/crunch with FrankenScript, I get an error..
"ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': No such device"
So then I ran some tests, and I cannot run optirun glxspheres64 anymore!? Here are the outputs...

so it would appear that nothing works, when everything was working before. weird
Edit2:
Nevermind. I've reinstalled the image of my Kali installation, and all tests passed like before. A likely reason for the above problems is that I set my swapiness to 0 after the installation(?) I cannot see anything else that might have caused that.
Now I will do tests to try to make cowpatty/pyrit/crunch work in real life...
Edit3: Everything works, and swapiness set to 0 had nothing to do with my previous problems. So I have no idea what caused it. I'm suspecting an update(?)
Dude u are the best, perfect tut!!!!
go ahead dude!
love u!
yes really, he saved me from 2months of searching/testing. Good to know that there are ppl like that outhere. Sharp contrast with the rest. "linux community" is an oxymoron.

Hey there quest,
oclhashcat is in the kali repos (version 1.01) so there is no need to download the .deb file.
oclhashcat from the repo also includes the cudahashcat which is what all us nvidia users are after anyway.
I'm currently trying to get the new hashcat working on kali but it has this habit of breaking other things when I get it to work....
Hi friend,
Yes it's in the Kali repo root@kali:~# apt-get install oclhashcat but that is still 508Mb to download every time for every installation. I much prefer to get it once and keep it, otherwise it never ends.
Speaking of. My Kali installation is now at 14Gb with all this. So this howto alone(including Kali updates) gets about 5Gb of archives if I'm not mistaken.
Good luck with the R&D :)

If you have a computer that stays on all the time, like a media server - take a look at apt-cacher.
It stores stuff that is downloaded from a repo locally. This way, you don't have to download it from the repo each time as it will come from your local server. A lot easier and faster than trying to mirror the repo.

Used this guide and installed bumblebee and cuda with pyrit. thanks
but now I have issue, after restarting laptop (dual boot 1.08 with win 8.1) I choose Kali or Kali recovery in grub and it stays on blank screen.
Cant boot into kali only windows.

Hi there,
Can you press CTRL + ALT + F1 and reach a terminal?
Is it blank screen or do you have a blinking cursor?
That is the typical symptom for if the laptop was not restarted after installing the NVIDIA drivers (after stopping gdm3) or x-config was run. I say this because you should not have been able to install CUDA without a restart and you have said you installed everything up to pyrit and then could not restart without a blank screen.
If you can reach terminal, run
cd ~
./NVIDIA*.run --uninstall
and then apt-get purge nvidia* bumblebee* primus*
and restart

Hi
No I dont get a blinking cursor.
So ctl alt F1 dont work.
Can only access grub menu and edit grub parameters pressing e key.
Hi staticn0de!
First, thank for your guide. it helped me a lot. The result show pass.
But i don't know is it working? I see in system setting->details: it don't show graphics driver!
Then i tried test:
glxinfo | grep -i "direct rendering"
It show:

Hi there,
Prefix your command with optirun.
If you have a pass from the cuda device detect script the driver is working. You must prefix commands which require the driver to be loaded with optirun.
The nvidia card is disabled during normal use to save power. Optirun enables it for the duration the program running needs it

Oh, it working. thank you.
And one more thing i can't understand. nvidia-settings require me do nvdia-xconfig. If i do , X server can't start and i have to remove xorg.conf. it like cycle! (sr my bad english)

Hi static, first, thanks for taking me further along the road to installing my cuda drivers than I had thought possible, outstanding instructions. Like the fellow above me, when I run "optirun glxinfo | grep -i "direct rendering"", I get the following:
[ 205.729643] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0. Please
[ 205.729694] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.
Dual boot win7/ kali 1.08 AMD64, lenovo w530
Bumblebee isn't starting for whatever reason. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Greetings,
I'm fighting for a good 2 months trying to install bumblebee properly on my laptop, to enable my Nvidia 650m :mad: .
I've been following this guide step by step, and i'm stuck at the 'optirun glxspheres64' part. My computer simply shutdown without any warnings, as soon as I hit 'Enter' in the prompt :confused: .
I did install the 340 driver correctly, and i can tell it's loaded as it should, thanks to the "modinfo nvidia" command.
Here is what 'uname -r' returns :
3.14-kali1-amd64
Here is my xorg.conf.nvidia :
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout0"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
Option "AutoAddGPU" "false"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "DiscreteNvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BusID "PCI:01:00:0"
# If the X server does not automatically detect your VGA device,
# you can manually set it here.
# To get the BusID prop, run `lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D'` and input the data
# as you see in the commented example.
# This Setting may be needed in some platforms with more than one
# nvidia card, which may confuse the proprietary driver (e.g.,
# trying to take ownership of the wrong device). Also needed on Ubuntu 13.04.
# BusID "PCI:01:00:0"
# Setting ProbeAllGpus to false prevents the new proprietary driver
# instance spawned to try to control the integrated graphics card,
# which is already being managed outside bumblebee.
# This option doesn't hurt and it is required on platforms running
# more than one nvidia graphics card with the proprietary driver.
# (E.g. Macbook Pro pre-2010 with nVidia 9400M + 9600M GT).
# If this option is not set, the new Xorg may blacken the screen and
# render it unusable (unless you have some way to run killall Xorg).

I followed latest instructions using latest Nvidia drivers but now my Nvidia card is running all the time.
It wont switch to Intel. Also should we not be installing bumblebee-nvidia as we are now using official drivers?
Kali boots using Intel and as soon as you use optirun or primerun it loads Nvidia and then never switches it off.

Hi static0de, thanks for your excellent instructional post!
I've gotten pretty close to having functioning CUDA (i think), but running 'optirun glxinfo | grep -i "direct rendering"' gets me the following:

Please post the output of
lsmod
and
cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch
No. bumblebee-nvidia is a meta package which installs both the bumbelbee and nvidia-driver packages. The nvidia-driver package in the repo is old and not supported by many modern graphics cards. That is why the driver package is downloaded from the nvidia website.
If you are stuck on the nvidia driver and will not swap to the power saving one, try
service bumblebeed restart
and
service bumblebeed status
Also, how do you know the driver is being loaded and not being switched off?
For example, run
optirun glxspheres64
and then run
glxspheres64
Did the second command work without optirun?

Even I am experiencing the same problem!! I am a new member to this forum and kali linux too, so forgive me if there are any mistakes.
the second command works fine (the one without optirun)
for me the optirun glxspheres64 returns
[ 3224.482379] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: X did not start properly
[ 3224.482467] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.

I've opted to just go into my bios and disable optimus and the integrated graphics, and will install my vendor drivers and CUDA the old fashioned way - without bumbling with bumblebee. thanks for your help. if anything, this entire experience has helped me along the road that much closer to understanding the workings of debian linux.

Hi there,
I'm sorry I missed your post above asking for help. If you change your mind and try and get it working again, send me a message.

The following will install the latest at the time (340.24) NVIDIA driver and latest CUDA (version 6) on Kali with
Bumblebee for Optimus laptops. Usual notes about clean installs and selecting either 32bit or 64bit depending on your
needs from the first page still apply.
First, update and upgrade Kali to latest
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade
Download VirtualGL
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/virtualgl/2.3.3/virtualgl_2.3.3_amd64.deb?r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourcefor ge.net%2Fprojects%2Fvirtualgl%2Ffiles%2F2.3.3%2F&ts=1404718514&use_mirror=ufpr
Download CUDA (this is V6 64bit)
http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/6_0/rel/installers/cuda_6.0.37_linux_64.run
Download the nvidia*.run driver. Follow the bouncing ball to get what you need for your hardware
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
Install VirtualGL
cd ~
dpkg -i virtualgl*.deb
Add the path for VirtualGL to .bashrc
nano ~/.bashrc
Add a line somewhere near the top that reads:
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/VirtualGL/bin
Export the path so we don't have to log out and in. Run the following from terminal
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/VirtualGL/bin
Install the linux headers
apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
Some dependencies for CUDA later
apt-get install freeglut3-dev libxmu-dev
Add the wheezy backports Repo (yes, still needed for bumblebee but not the NVIDIA driver)
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Add the following line to the file and then save
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy-backports main contrib non-free
apt-get update
Install bumblebee (not bumblebee-nvidia)
apt-get install bumblebee primus
Edit the bumblebee.conf file
nano /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf
Change line 22 so it reads:
Driver=nvidia
We do not need to edit line 55 as the module the nvidia installer will build is called nvidia and not nvidia-current.
Save and close.
Run the following and record your PCI address for your video card. It will look similar to 03:00.0
lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D'
Edit xorg.conf.nvidia and add a line under the 'Section "Device"' area so that is matches what is shown below. Change the bus ID to match what you recorded previously and take note that you recored a . before the last number and it is now a ':'. You need the ':'.
Section "Device"
Identifier "DiscreteNvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BusID "PCI:03:00:0"
Restart bumblebee with the following and ignore any warnings
/etc/init.d/bumblebeed restart
Change NVIDIA installer permissions
cd ~
chmod +x NVIDIA*.run
You now need to close gdm3 because it can't be running for the driver install. Record what you need now. If you don't get a login screen when you close gdm3, press control + alt + F1
/etc/init.d/gdm3 stop
Now the install
cd ~
./NVIDIA*.run --dkms -z
Accept the EULA
Select yes to register the kernel module with DKMS
No to libs (unless you want them)
Ok to acknowledge the website libs
The install will take place
Do not run X-Config. Select NO.
The installer will close.
Restart kali with
shutdown -r now
When rebooted, run optirun glxspheres64 and confirm it's working. A 'modinfo nvidia' will show that you now have the 340.24 module loaded.
To install CUDA, chmod the installer first
cd ~
chmod +x cuda*.run
And now to install
./cuda*.run
Accept the EULA
Select yes to unsupporrted configuration
No to graphics driver
Yes to the toolkit
Accept default location
Yes to symbolic link
Yes to samples
Yes to default samples location
The toolkit will install
For the path, we will add a little more to what we defined for VirtualGL. It should look like this in your bashrc file
nano ~./bashrc
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/VirtualGL/bin:/usr/local/cuda-6.0/bin
Run the following so we don't have to log out
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/VirtualGL/bin:/usr/local/cuda-6.0/bin
Edit the following file so the contents match those shown below
nano /etc/ld.so.conf
include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
/usr/local/cuda-6.0/lib64
Save and close
Run:
ldconfig
Build the nvidia samples
cd /root/NVIDIA_CUDA-6.0_Samples
make
Follow the steps from the second post to run the CUDA deviceQuery script and you should see pass.
Remember to remove or comment out the wheezy backports repo
Hi Static,
first things first: Sorry for my english, im German ^^
thx a lot for your How-To!
I have a Lenovo Y500 Ideapad with 2 GT650m SLI, 16GB RAM, Intel i7.
I have several Problems getting my GPU's to run properly with the Nvidia Driver.
Is there any way you can help me - i mean to chat with you over Whatsapp or something like that, sendind you Images from my Screen and having a real time help?
I am willing to pay for your efforts.
As I checked my Hardware in Windows there are only the both Nvidia GPU's listed, no Intel onboard GPU.
The Cards support Optimus technology, following the Nvidia Website, but do i really need Optimus, if there is no Intel onboard GPU?
Following your How-To step by step i get stuck after editing the Bumblebee .conf, i added both BusID's of the GPU's and the SLI Option
Section "Device"
Identifier "DiscreteNvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BusID "PCI:01:00:0"
BusID "PCI:02:00:0"
and activating the SLI in the Options.
After restarting bumblebee and stopping the GDM3 Service i get a black Screen with blinking cursor -> no way to get to TTY1 with "ALT CTRL F1", nor any other Hotkeys working.
I worked around that booting in the Recovery Mode in Console.
In Recovery mode its no Problem stopping the GDM3 and installing Nvidia.
After rebooting i tried the optirun glxspheres64 -> Error.
I also tried an other How-To without Bumblebee:
http://www.blackmoreops.com/2014/03/13/install-proprietary-nvidia-driver-kali-linux/
-> eveything worked fine (yeah, i edited the Xorg.conf with both BusID's and SLI and MultiGPU Option) until step 6
In booting process after the boot information "GDM3 start", my screens gets Black, flashing one time for a second, getting black again, then both GT650m's Fans getting full thrust (airflow getting very hot) and after 30 secs or something the Laptopn shuts down - no way to get to TTY1 or anything -> no way to have any influence after the GDM3 starts.
After reading many many Hours in Forums, HOW-To's, the Nvidia Support section, and the official Nvidia Documentation i have no Clue what to do.
Would be nice to get an answer from You.

Please post the output of
lsmod
and
cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch
No. bumblebee-nvidia is a meta package which installs both the bumbelbee and nvidia-driver packages. The nvidia-driver package in the repo is old and not supported by many modern graphics cards. That is why the driver package is downloaded from the nvidia website.
If you are stuck on the nvidia driver and will not swap to the power saving one, try
service bumblebeed restart
and
service bumblebeed status
Also, how do you know the driver is being loaded and not being switched off?
For example, run
optirun glxspheres64
and then run
glxspheres64
Did the second command work without optirun?
It seems like bbswitch was not installed by default.
I installed it and now it switches fine.
Thanks

@Xperianist
For your path, you don't need the second /opt/VirtualGL (you have it at the end) as there is no bins in that folder. Additonal paths can break your install.
That being said, I don't think that is the issue. I can see you have installed the older drivers. I have left those there for a kind of legacy reason but you should use the latest drivers which start at post 25.
I know it is most likely not what you are looking for but the newer drivers will most likely fix your issue ( as they have for quite a few people now)
As for your partiular fault, do you have an Nvidia GT750M?

Hi Static,
first things first: Sorry for my english, im German ^^
thx a lot for your How-To!
I have a Lenovo Y500 Ideapad with 2 GT650m SLI, 16GB RAM, Intel i7.
I have several Problems getting my GPU's to run properly with the Nvidia Driver.
Is there any way you can help me - i mean to chat with you over Whatsapp or something like that, sendind you Images from my Screen and having a real time help?
I am willing to pay for your efforts.
As I checked my Hardware in Windows there are only the both Nvidia GPU's listed, no Intel onboard GPU.
The Cards support Optimus technology, following the Nvidia Website, but do i really need Optimus, if there is no Intel onboard GPU?
Following your How-To step by step i get stuck after editing the Bumblebee .conf, i added both BusID's of the GPU's and the SLI Option
Section "Device"
Identifier "DiscreteNvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BusID "PCI:01:00:0"
BusID "PCI:02:00:0"
and activating the SLI in the Options.
After restarting bumblebee and stopping the GDM3 Service i get a black Screen with blinking cursor -> no way to get to TTY1 with "ALT CTRL F1", nor any other Hotkeys working.
I worked around that booting in the Recovery Mode in Console.
In Recovery mode its no Problem stopping the GDM3 and installing Nvidia.
After rebooting i tried the optirun glxspheres64 -> Error.
I also tried an other How-To without Bumblebee:
http://www.blackmoreops.com/2014/03/13/install-proprietary-nvidia-driver-kali-linux/
-> eveything worked fine (yeah, i edited the Xorg.conf with both BusID's and SLI and MultiGPU Option) until step 6
In booting process after the boot information "GDM3 start", my screens gets Black, flashing one time for a second, getting black again, then both GT650m's Fans getting full thrust (airflow getting very hot) and after 30 secs or something the Laptopn shuts down - no way to get to TTY1 or anything -> no way to have any influence after the GDM3 starts.
After reading many many Hours in Forums, HOW-To's, the Nvidia Support section, and the official Nvidia Documentation i have no Clue what to do.
Would be nice to get an answer from You.
Hi there,
I don't have SLI in my laptop so this is not somehting I have worked with. Another forum member had issues with SLI and I replied with some information I found and they never came back, it was either very useful or not useful at all so give it a try.
First, post the output of the following so I can tell you if you need optimus at all
lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D'
This is the post I replied about SLI
https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?21956-(Guide)-Installing-Nvidia-Bumblebee-CUDA-for-Optimus-enabled-Laptops&p=35604&viewfull=1#post35604
If you don't have the onboard intel you do not need optimus. If it's just enabling SLI, it should be as *easy* as installing NVIDIA, enabling SLI in XORG and rebooting. Lets see how we go.
If you don't need optimus and installed bumblebee, it would do an awesome job at killing your graphics.
hello, I have a problem after installing the nvidia driver (which works apparently correct, because there is no error and 'modinfo nvidia' shows version 340.24)
after rebooting, I use "optirun glxspheres64" but i get this error message and my fans going crazy (maximum speed):
optirun glxspheres64

Maybe you could help me with this issue?
I'll give you some information about my system:

Hi tonrin!
Thanks for sharing your fix, I know a lot of users will appreciate it.
For anyone using this fix, make sure you run an update-grub after making changes.
To see if this will work for you as a fix before modifying that file and running update-grub, you can run the following (I can't credit the original creator as this has been posted on about 40 different sites in relation to this fix)
sudo tee /sys/module/rcutree/parameters/rcu_idle_gp_delay <<<1
and then try optirun glxspheres64
If that fixes it, you should update the grub file.

Try the following
/etc/init.d/bumblebeed start
If that fails, I would guess that bbswitch failed to install correctly.
Try :
apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
apt-get install --reinstall bbswitch
/etc/init.d/bumblebeed start
Edit: try optirun -vv glxspheres64
The above will give more debugging info. With dmesg, try -n 100 so it has some more info in it.

Hey Quest,
The obvious changes are that the cudahashcat binary has been removed (no large change in file size there)
The other one is that the 4318 folder within usr/share/kernels has been removed. That was a very large folder and accounts for the size difference.
On the + the change log says support for 340.24 has been added :)
Thanks again friend. Good to have someone onboard that understand these things =]
How did you go about installing 1.30 (I presume you did install it) ? Did you uninstall 1.01 first? If so what is the alchemical formula? How many dead frogs and bats will I need to upgrade to 1.30, or do I simply install on top of 1.01?
Many thanks man! it's work very nice for me :D

I have not installed it yet, I downloaded and unpacked the .debs and ran them through some compare software.
at a guess, I would say
apt-get remove --purge oclhashcat && apt-get install oclhashcat
I'll try soon though and post how it goes
ehh, something funky is going on. After uninstall 1.01 and installing 1.30, using the test command
./cudaHashcat.bin -t 32 -a 7 example0.hash ?a?a?a?a example.dict does not work.
./oclHashcat.bin -t 32 -a 7 example0.hash ?a?a?a?a example.dict rturns:

Well, you are right. That is an AMD only release.
The good news is, cudahashcat 1.30 does work on Kali (I just crunched that example hash). The bad news is, it is not in the repo and I had to install it manually (first world problems, right?)
I'm trying my hand at making my own .deb which will install 1.30 on Kali. I've never done that before so I have no ETA. May be easier to extract hashcat and my soft links to the .bin.

I have taken the archive from the hashcat site and modified it under section 6 of their EULA. The deb installs the program is /usr/share/cudahashcat and places scripts in /usr/bin which calls hashcat like any other command.
I'll upload it tonight for anyone that wants to use it. Provided as is with no expectation it will work and it may cause damages including death and your wife leaving you (tic) but you get the idea.

What a bizarre file naming convention. They seem to have enormous difficulties identifying their own creation... And now I'm abit suspicious about the file size difference between 1.01/1.30 What else are we missing?
I cannot try it now, and I have very little experience with Hashcat anyways, but something tells me that 1.30 is missing a few feathers...

Hey Quest,
Thanks for trying it, you can unpack it manually and see how I did it with the 'ar' command.
Regards to what else we are missing, it's all kernel files. At a guess I would say they are no longer supported. When they are unpacked they take up huge amounts of disk space.

Hi,I am setting up bumblebee for my GT 650M following the guide on post #25 but when I run optirun glxspheres64 my laptop suddenly shutdown. Here's some command returns:

Hi there,
Try this from terminal and then run glxspheres64 with optirun
sudo tee /sys/module/rcutree/parameters/rcu_idle_gp_delay <<<1
If that works, follow this post to make the change permanent

Hi staticn0de! Greate job. thank you.
excuse me for my English.
i did everything like 25 post suggests. and use last version of driver from nvidia
but have the same problem with "optirun glxspheres" like Xperianist
my HW
HP Pavilion 15-n060er with Intel and Nvidia GeForce 750M VGA
do you know how can i configure the system to use only discrete VGA?
Maybe Xperianist solved this problem? if you did please share solution
Any ideas? please help me with this. waiting for your answer
Hey there,
nvidia-glx is not required for the second install. This is a transitional package to install the older drivers.
That being said, i'm going to need a lot more information from you to help.

That should do for a start
Okay, here we go! About time, right? Lol.

edit:
I had thought I read all of the posts before posting but it seems I may have missed one.
Using the solution tonrin (https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?21956-(Guide)-Installing-Nvidia-Bumblebee-CUDA-for-Optimus-enabled-Laptops&p=36387&viewfull=1#post36387) posted worked for me too!
Still lots of errors in dmesg but deviceQuery results in a pass!

This section is dedicated to common issues users experience and will be updated as more errors are reported
ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia_uvm': No such device
If you are receiving this error, be sure to run dmesg and post the output on the forums. This is normally caused because the driver the driver can not identify the hardware or be loaded by the kernel. Try the latest version of the driver if you are using a more modern graphics card.
I restarted the computer and I have a blank screen / screen with a solid cursor in the corner
I told you not to run nvidia-xconfig, didn't I?. Boot into recovery mode or use a live USB. Mount your file system and delete the xrog configuration file generated that nvidia-xconfig created.
/etc/init.d/bumbelbeed status shows that it is not running and it fails to restart
If you did not install linux-headers-$(uname -r) at the start, bbswitch can not be built and as a result, you can not swap between drivers and bumblebee can't load. Install the headers and reinstall bbswitch-dkms
When I run 'optirun glxspheres64' my screen goes black and the fans run at full speed. During my ensuing heart attack, the computer turns off. What do i do? OR alternatively, optirun glxspheres64 fails the first time I run it but works every second time.
This is a problem across all distributions using bumblebee. However, it is an easy fix. You may also see errors like that below:
[ 3224.482379] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: X did not start properly
[ 3224.482467] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.
or
ERROR: Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0
To see if this fix will work for you before modifying grub, you can run the following:
sudo tee /sys/module/rcutree/parameters/rcu_idle_gp_delay <<<1
If that fixed it, edit /etc/default/grub and change:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
To
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet rcutree.rcu_idle_gp_delay=1"
and run 'update-grub' and restart.

For anyone interested, this guide will work with the newer CUDA 6.5 and NVIDIA 340.32 drivers.
Albeit, it's a bit slower. My pyrit benchmark has gone from ~11000 on CUDA 6.0 and NVIDIA 340.24 to ~7800 with the drivers mentioned above.
Thanks for the "common issues" guide and the new driver heads up... I wish I could say "can't stop progress", but that drop in performance is anything but. Sabotage might be a more appropriate term?

Now, I know you want to see it in action so the next part will install pryit.
First, remove the wheezy repo. You may either comment out the line we added or delete it.
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Save the file
apt-get update
The following instructions are slightly modified from the pyrit google code page here. Give them all your love.

cd pyrit_svn/pyrit/
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
Now to add CUDA support
cd ../cpyrit_cuda/
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
Now, what we have been waiting for this entire time. Lets see it work.
optirun pyrit benchmark
And we are done.
Who had problem like me when issued command #phyton setup.py build , and your screen give output like this

I have to run
optirun pyrit benchmark right after booting into Kali for my nVidia to 'wakeup'.
If I wait more than 5mins after booting, no nVidia related operations work.

Hi. :)
I've been trying to make Bumblebee work since yesterday, but with no luck.
QUOTING: "/etc/init.d/bumbelbeed status shows that it is not running and it fails to restart". I've exactly this problem, but I've installed linux-headers and bbswitch-dkms (and followed all the guide in post #25 until the instruction "/etc/init.d/bumblebeed restart
").
Any hint? I don't know which log I've to post here, so let me know.
Thank you all.

Hey there,
This will most likely be something simple.
Post the output of:
use the
brackets to paste the output of commands (the code close bracket is a [*/CODE] without the *. Put all the text between them.
run optirun glxspheres64 and then paste the output of the command below. The last 30 lines or so.
[CODE]dmesg
Paste your /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf
Paste your /etc/bumblebee/xorg.nvidia.conf
Paste the output of
lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D'
Paste the output of
modinfo nvidia
and
modinfo nvidia-uvm
and
lsmod
and
cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch
and
echo $PATH
Paste the output of
find 2> /dev/null / -name nvidia*.ko
I know it's a lot, but as you are a new user it saves the turn around for your posts to get on the forum.
also, try apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) && apt-get install --reinstall bbswitch-dkms

After some more struggling, I've managed to make it work.
Thank you for your guide.
You're most welcome. I'm glad it worked for you.
I need some help I have been trying to fix this for the longest finally got Bumblebee installed and ti run smoothly. The problem is when I get to the CUDA installation it does not ask me about Samples but instead during the instalation asks me only about the direcroty and if I want to create a symbolic file.
The next command will have no errors if all went well
modprobe nvidia-uvm //// I GET THIS WITH NO ERRORS ...
Now to make the CUDA samples and confirm it works! This make will take a little while... /// CANNOT FIND SAMPLES ANYWHERE. REINSTALLED CUDA AND NOTHING...
cd ~/NVIDIA_CUDA-5.5_Samples/NVIDIA_CUDA-5.5_Samples/
make
I unistalled by using purge nvidia-*
then uninstalled bumblebee
and started the process again ...
Everything goes fine but still cant get to install the samples I get the following
Driver: Not Selected
Toolkit: Installed in /usr/local/cuda-6.5
Samples: Not Supported
Thanks,

Hi there,
I see a couple of problems with your setup.
First:
The next command will have no errors if all went well
modprobe nvidia-uvm //// I GET THIS WITH NO ERRORS ...
Now to make the CUDA samples and confirm it works! This make will take a little while... /// CANNOT FIND SAMPLES ANYWHERE. REINSTALLED CUDA AND NOTHING...
cd ~/NVIDIA_CUDA-5.5_Samples/NVIDIA_CUDA-5.5_Samples/
make
You are following the first guide, not post 25 as recommended.
Second
Toolkit: Installed in /usr/local/cuda-6.5
You are installing the bleeding edge cuda 6.5 (which is not bad) but you have not altered the commands in the guide to suit the new directories.
Two guides are in this thread. The guide starting at post 2 will install CUDA 5.5 and the nvidia drivers from the wheezy repo.
The guide starting at post 25 (the one which should be followed) will install NVIDIA 340.24 and CUDA 6.
Follow the guide at post 25 and if you decide to mix and match versions and parts of guides, you will need to amend the commands entered to match.

Hi,
I have the following problem: when I enter this last command
optirun glxspheres64, my screen goes totally black and my nvidia vgas start to run on full speed (vents go on full throttle) and after 20s my laptop shuts down. I suppose my hardware causes the peoblem, I have 3VGAs: the integrated intel hd4400, and 2 nvidia gt750M.
I know that this problem was mention here, but I did everything what staticn0de recomend, but nothing change.
dmesg has to long output. What you need exactly? I also erase comments from files for the same reason.

I followed all the steps given by staticn0de in Post 25. After installing the NVIDIA drivers, I rebooted my machine. And X does not start anymore. If I change the Driver to intel and comment out the BusID "PCI:01:00:0" line, then X starts. I have an intel HD4000 along with NVidia 720M in my laptop (ASUS X550CC).
My Xorg.0.log give me the following:
Fatal server error:
no screens found
Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
at http://wiki.x.org
for help.
Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.1.log" for additional information.
What could be wrong?
EDIT:
I found that the nvidia module was not loaded. I did a modprobe to load nvidia_uvm. Also, I removed the the xorg.conf file from /etc/X11/xorg.conf. It seems like I have made some progress but I have a different situation now. NVidia graphics does not seem to be working:

I followed Post 25 to download and install the nvidia-drivers from nvidia's website. Now, each time I run 'apt-get install' to install something, apt-get asks me to run 'nvidia-installer --uninstall'. Do you folks also face the same issue? I have commented out the wheezy-backport from sources.list but still the problem persists.

Ok, I've solved the 'nvidia-installer --uninstall' problem. There was the nvidia-installer-cleanup package in 'iF' status. Doing the following solved the problem:
apt-get purge nvidia-installer-cleanup

Great! Everything works fine now. I am able to run both with my integrated intel graphics and nvidia graphics. My CUDA tests PASS too!! Thanks to all of you, and most importantly to static0node for the excellent howto.
In case somebody faces the same problem as I did, here's what I did:
bumblebee's log at /var/log/Xorg.8.log gave me all the info I needed to correct my problems. Alternatively, you can stop bumblebee with '/etc/init.d/bumblebee stop' command. Then you can manually launch the daemon by issuing 'bumblebeed -vv' from a console. Note: that is two consecutive 'v's.
I figured out from the log file that the Xorg server for my nvidia card was using the libglx.so library built by "X.org Foundation" and not the one supplied by NVIDIA. The one supplied by NVIDIA was located in '/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions' and was named as 'libglx.so.340.46'. I made a backup of my libglx.so in that directory and renamed libglx.so.340.46 to libglx.so. And tried to relaunch bumblebee, and lo and behold, it all worked like a charm. But when I restarted my X server, my intel glx stopped working. Predictably. Long story short, here is what I effectively did:
root@kali:~# cd /usr/lib/xorg
root@kali:/usr/lib/xorg# mkdir -p nvidia
root@kali:/usr/lib/xorg# cp -R modules/* nvidia/
root@kali:/usr/lib/xorg# cd nvidia/extensions/
root@kali:/usr/lib/xorg/nvidia/extensions# mv libglx.so.340.46 libglx.so
And here's my bumblebee.conf

Hi Filip0913,
launch optirun -vv glxspheres64 and then paste here the output from /var/log/Xorg.8.log (assuming a new instance of X launches on tty 8)
optirun -vv glxspheres64
cat /var/log/Xorg.8.log
Thank you . your thread helped me a lot.
I had done it successfully before without cuda only I could run apps with optirun. after a re-installation of kali I followed your post and here are the result : deviceQuery, CUDA Driver = CUDART, CUDA Driver Version = 6.5, CUDA Runtime Version = 6.5, NumDevs = 1, Device0 = GeForce GT 740M
Result = PASS
Hi,
i have the following problem:
i followed the guide and i arrived at the step in which i have to edit xorg.conf.nvidia
Edit xorg.conf.nvidia and add a line under the 'Section "Device"' area so that is matches what is shown below. Change the bus ID to match what you recorded previously and take note that you recored a . before the last number and it is now a ':'. You need the ':'.
Section "Device"
Identifier "DiscreteNvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BusID "PCI:03:00:0"
i don't have that file (is it supposed to be in /etc/X11 ? ) so i could create it and the only content would be that in quote tag.. is that correct?
open a console >
nano /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia
I'm having a strange issue.
first as I stated before in a reply everything worked well. I even proceeded and tried pyrit and cudahashcat on a wpa2 handshake it worked well I successfully cracked my own wpa2 password with both methods.
got a problem then i fixed it with grub . I got another one with nvidia-uvm so I compiled it and replaced it in dkms/ .
now when I restart and run modprobe nvidia or modprobe nvidia-uvm I get no such device. so I checked the Cuda devicequery test to see if still passes which it did , suddenly the modprobe worked again
I restarted the same thing happened it only works after I do the cuda test . I checked my paths in bashrc everything is right in it. what could be the problem ?
- can you copy/paste the error message here.
- run
optirun pyrit benchmarkright after having booted on to Kali(don't wait too long after having booted, or it might not work).
here is my pyrit benchmark and cores

i followed the guide at post #25 and then i installed pyrit but when i try to benchmark i get:

@ bahha & rego, the only thing I can recommend is to try a fresh Kali install until staticn0de returns.
This whole installation is somewhat fragile and any subsequent modification to core files seems to mess things up. I wish to be more precise but all I know is that I have to run 'optirun pyrit benchmark' in the following minutes after booting into Kali to be able to use cudaHashcat, or else I get the same error as the above post #116, and I have to reboot.
@ Quest I did install everything after a fresh install of the Os .
everything is working except pyrit I'll try to compile it from source and see .
having to run optirun after moments of boot . I think I may make it as a start up application. so far for cuda test pass I made an alias in bashrc .
but wait, mine is exactly like yours in post #115. No mention of GPU, ever.
Your telling me that Pyrit is supposed to detect and use GPU along with CPUs? If that's the case then mine never worked.
opps actually Pyrit does detect/use my GPU..

I removed the pre-installed pyrit and installed it from source following the guide on the first page .
and it works finally
here is the output of benchmark before installing it from source, notice how there is no GPU in the list and look at the second output

wow great!
I thought for you to install Pyrit like the guide said, because this whole installation is very tricky/complex, and if one does not follow the exact procedure then it does not work, or it partially does.
*Funny how Pyrit does not use the 8th core when it use the GPU... Anyway.
i followed the guide at post #25 and then i installed pyrit but when i try to benchmark i get:
that happened to me . I fixed it with by modifying grub
here is the guide post link (https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?21956-(Guide)-Installing-Nvidia-Bumblebee-CUDA-for-Optimus-enabled-Laptops&p=36923&viewfull=1#post36923)
After I installed the nvidia proprietary driver from this post (https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?21956-%28Guide%29-Installing-Nvidia-Bumblebee-CUDA-for-Optimus-enabled-Laptops&p=35420&viewfull=1#post35420) with cuda6
I found that the INTEL driver is broken and some apps need it for 3D acceleration like GDM3 or anything that can't run with optirun
so here is a fix I did after reading and searching in other places .
first : to check if your INTEL driver is broken run this command without optirun
glxgears
if it works you are good nothing to do after this if not follow next instruction
--- remove the invidia driver if you installed it from NVIDIAxxx*.run that is the one you downloaded from nvidia site.
--- remove it with nividia-intaller-cleanup just intall it and it'll prompt you to remove the driver.
--- then follow the first post (https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?21956-%28Guide%29-Installing-Nvidia-Bumblebee-CUDA-for-Optimus-enabled-Laptops) to install the driver from repository which is 331-xx version. don't forget to change bumblebee and xorg as mentioned in the first post, for the repo driver to work. | the first post is changed it doesn't have the repo driver anymore .| so install it by apt-get intall nvidia-glx and apt-get install nvidia alternative
it will grab everything else . or google how to install nvidia driver 331 would be better.
--- at this point you have the nvidia driver functioning with optirun but if you have cuda6-5 it won't function because it requires a higher version of driver 340.xx. at least that's what happened to me
--- to fix it remove cuda6-5 by entering the folder where you installed the NVIDIA Cuda samples, probably you installed it in root folder. then run
make clean
--- remove the samples folder
--- go to /usr/local/ and delete cudaxx and its symlink .
--- you can still use cuda6-5 if you upgrade the driver follow last lines in this post
--- if you are ok with cuda5 download cuda5.xx and install it follow the firt page (https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?21956-%28Guide%29-Installing-Nvidia-Bumblebee-CUDA-for-Optimus-enabled-Laptops) in this thread .
--- if you have the intel mesa driver broken still then do the next
--- download mesa-alternative-glx I often use synaptic to install my packages else apt-get from terminal .
--- when it's installed run
update-alternative --config glx
--- when you have both nvidia and intel drivers installed it will display three options
auto (with the selected driver)
manual nvidia
manual intel
--- enter the number in the far left that correspond to intel and hit Enter
--- now it will fix your intel driver. reboot and try glxgears and optirun glxgears it should work, works for me :)
--- finally if you still want to use cuda6-5 update the nvidia driver
--- *add this repo to your source.list
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ sid main non-free contrib .
--- run apt-get update when done open synaptic and upgrade the nvidia driver and reboot
--- now you can install cuda6-5 again following this post (https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?21956-(Guide)-Installing-Nvidia-Bumblebee-CUDA-for-Optimus-enabled-Laptops&p=35420&viewfull=1#post35420)
. don't forget to remove the repo you added to your source.list, before you break something
I hope someone will find this useful it works for me
here is glxgears with intel and nvidia notice fps and compare it with nvidia one .
glxgears
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.828 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.807 FPS
with optirun
optirun glxgears
4139 frames in 5.0 seconds = 827.670 FPS
4114 frames in 5.0 seconds = 822.686 FPS
good stuff! Thanks bahha.
My fan does not decelerate after running "optirun pyrit benchmark". I have to reboot the computer for it to normalize. So something(probly my nVidia HD 630M) stays ON long after finishing operations when should be OFF. If anyone has any ideas...
I'm suspecting Bumblebee
you can try
echo OFF >> /proc/acpi/bbswitch
then see if it works with
cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch
if says OFF then it's OFF otherwise it's refusing to unload it, because it's being used by the nvidia module
you can try to reinstall bbswitch and bumblebee

problem solved. what i did was :
Code:
mv /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so.orig
ln -s /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so.XXX.YY /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
where XXX.YY is your driver version
my recommendation for you is to use my post above (https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?21956-(Guide)-Installing-Nvidia-Bumblebee-CUDA-for-Optimus-enabled-Laptops&p=40188&viewfull=1#post40188) too fix everything, that's what I did and everything is ok for now .
@ darkshadowman
pyrit works even without installing the nvidia driver. you can check if your driver works by :
optirun pyrit list_cores
if it lists your GPU to then it's ok , look at the example bellow
The following cores seem available...
#1: 'CUDA-Device #1 'GeForce GT 740M''
#2: 'CPU-Core (SSE2/AES)'
#3: 'CPU-Core (SSE2/AES)'
#4: 'CPU-Core (SSE2/AES)'
#5: 'CPU-Core (SSE2/AES)'
#6: 'CPU-Core (SSE2/AES)'

Hi everybody!
I need some help, please.
Kali -32 Bits
Nvidia card integrated on a HP notebook dv9 series with nvidia integrated.
I did a fresh install and the first thing to do was installing the graphics.
Unfortunatlly my bumblebee tells me:
[ERROR]No integrated video card found, quitting.
well the Virtualgl was instaled well, the Cuda was instaled well , and the driver Nvidia was installed well.
Everything done as static0de last update post for the 340 driver. Exception for the packages wich were i386 compatible. and one or another path I had to chage.
well the last thing I was expecting to see was no hardware found!
:)

First of all many thanks to staticn0de, I could not have made half the progress I have without his posts.
I really hope someone can help me with this issue. I have been struggling for days now trying to get this up and running, i.e. my Nvidia graphics card.
I have listed below all the information I think might be pertinent, maybe over kill but I didn't want to leave anything out. I am new to this so forgive me if I am on the wrong thread or have used the wrong format.
I have downloaded the NVIDIA drivers NVIDIA GeForce 610m (1GB) from the nvidia web site as directed, these are the drivers the specs for my pc state, Lenovo Ideapad U410.
I am running Kali 64 bit as my primary OS, no dual boot, kernel details are also listed below.
Below are the steps I have gone through trying to get this working: These were all done as a regular user then again as root.
-stopped gdm3 / terminal ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.65.run -dkms -z (failed)
-stopped gdm3 /terminal ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.65.run (failed)
-booted to command prompt ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.65.run -dkms -z (failed)
-booted to command prompt ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.65.run (failed)
Removed all files containing NVIDIA with Synaptic Package Manager then went through the steps listed above, same results.
Removed all files containing nouveau with Synaptic Package Manager then went through the steps listed above, same results.
I have now reinstalled the nouveau files I removed previously.
I have NOT reinstalled the nvidia files referenced to in Synaptic Package Manager.
I have included my sources list below for verification..it contains notes to myself in it as well.
I have followed the below link on what to do post Kali install
http://www.blackmoreops.com/2014/03/03/20-things-installing-kali-linux/
I followed these instructions, but lost the gui altogether. This happend a number of times and I reinstalled the OS twice before I found the xorg file and removed it...(I guess I should have read step B and saved some time)

Hi there,
First things first, clean up the NIVIDA drivers already installed. I've added sudo for if you are a regular user
sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.65.run --uninstall
The command you linked above does not have the double - before the dkms flag. Use this below
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.65.run --dkms -z
You don't touch the xorg.conf file at all. You don't need it and generating one under NVIDIA will break your install.
While I'm a huge fan of blackmoreops and his guides, you should not just follow them if you don't know what they are doing.
For example, his guide on NVIDIA is not for optimus platforms and it will break your install.
The easiest way would be to do a fresh install (as I don't know what you have done to your system) and then follow my guide from the start.
It would also be good to see the log here:

Staticn0de thank you so much for you help with this. I think I may have a couple of python type errors going on as well, I will post the code from those later. I was impatient waiting for the moderators to post my thread and may have broken other "stuff" before I saw your reply. I think have answered and posted correctly below your requests, for some reason I am getting a security alert when I try to preview this so I am posing it as is.
This security site has been blocking me from posting here for the last two day...***

First things first, clean up the NIVIDA drivers already installed. I've added sudo for if you are a regular user
sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.65.run --uninstall
Done...uninstall appeared to work.
This was reran with --dkms -z (the installation failed)
The command you linked above does not have the double - before the dkms flag. Use this below
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.65.run --dkms -z

This is just a test
https://securi.netwebsite has been blocking my access to advanced post and "preview post" options, I tested this from three different locations on two difference pc's. The only time I did not get blocked was when I chose the "quick reply" option.

Staticn0de...again many thanks. I do NOT have python errors anymore, infact I just rebuilt this Kali install, 3x. I had a backup file which I used, but that failed. Anyway post 25 was followed exactly, after a clean install.
As you can see I am still having issues, and the NVIDIA drivers failed to install.
Edit xorg.conf.nvidia and add a line under the 'Section "Device"' area so that is matches what is shown below. Change the bus ID to match what you recorded previously and take note that you recored a . before the last number and it is now a ':'. You need the ':'.
Section "Device"
Identifier "DiscreteNvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BusID "PCI:03:00:0"
Above directions were not compete...file xorg.conf.nvidia does not exist, see below code.

I use Kali is my primary OS, bad practice I know, but I use it with work constantly. I hope that my installing additional applications doesn't impair our working on my NVIDIA graphics driver. As you can see I am still in need of some assistance. Please let me know what files or data I can post that will help this along.

@Hun75m4n,
Nothing wrong with using Kali as the primary OS.
Installing other applications is not normally the problem. Its all about how much you install from non-official repos as they will break you install very quickly.
Now, the file you are after is found in the bumblebee directory
root@kali /etc/bumblebee$ ls
bumblebee.conf xorg.conf.d xorg.conf.nouveau xorg.conf.nvidia
The two files you modify as part of my guide are bumbelbee.conf and xorg.conf.nvidia.
If you don't have this folder, you have not installed bumblebee yet. You need to add the debian repo listed in the guide and run apt-get update and then install bumblebee.
Now you have the correct file, keep following the guide and make the modifications listend. If you still can't get it to work, let me know.

@staticn0de
Thanks for pointing out the files, apprantly I don't know how to use the command 'locate'.
I have completed the install now, without error. I guess maybe I am not in the know for how NVIDIA Gforce is used. Under Applications -> System Tools -> Preferences -> NVIDIA X server settings I have the below error.
You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
Applications -> System Tools -> Preferences -> Systems Settings -> Details -> Graphics (there is no driver listed and Experience states "Fallback)
Applications -> Programming -> Nvidia Visual Profiler (not sure what this is all about, it appears to be a web page)
I guess I am confused as to what getting the NVIDIA drivers installed correctly was supposed to accomplish.

I guess I am confused as to what getting the NVIDIA drivers installed correctly was supposed to accomplish.
The reason it is giving you an NVIDIA X driver error is because it's not loaded (the driver) unless you call it with optirun. This is a power saving feature and the entire reason we install bumblebee.
try the command below:
optirun glxspheres64
You should see a pretty window appear and terminal will be printing some FPS for you. That means the driver install worked.
If you want to use the NVIDIA card (such as in a graphics demanding application), prefix the command with optirun.
Say I wanted to run cudahashcat i would use the command
optirun cudahashcat
Hi everyone. Please help. I followed the guide from post 25 step by step till Cuda install, everything works well, no error but when i try to see if it works what have I done with optirun glxspheres64, i got 2 errors

I use Nvidia 740M in an asus laptop, I just installed kali and updated&upgraded without any error after I tried to install from first post and I got

but that time i installed and uninstalled too many times and I haven't any ideea how to solve and it was too much mess around.

Shucks mate, you will make me blush.
seriously they have not wrapped up a cudahashcat package yet http://git.kali.org/gitweb/?a=project_list;pf=packages , so many thanks for that .deb and this howto bro. I'd still be without my nVidia under linux without this tut. We(nVidia users) all appreciate that guide you've created here. Not that many have the knowledge and willing to help.

You actually reminded me that I have been meaning to repackage the new cudahashcat 1.31. So, I went and did that. I've also changed the host because mirror creator is awful and should feel awful.
Install with:
dpkg -i cudahashcat-1.31.deb
In the future, if you want to remove it:
dpkg -r cudahashcat-1.31
If you want to make sure its completely removed, check the following and remove them:
/usr/bin/cudahashcat32
/usr/bin/cudahashcat64
/usr/share/cudahashcat
If you need to remove my old deb, run the following. Check the listings in the code block above to make sure they were removed:
dpkg -r cudahashcat-1.30
Sums for cudahashcat-1.31.deb:
md5sum = b753c393264b3c40e51f057a96f3f6e9
sha1sum = f4abc533f4ced0f7e9a82255ceecf0333c212fa2
When installed, test with the following:
optirun cudahashcat64 -t 32 -a 7 example0.hash ?a?a?a?a example.dict
The file is 475MB

@2code
Edit xorg.conf.nvidia and adjust the line:
BusID "PCI:01:00.0"
To read
BusID "PCI:01:00:0"
And restart bumblebeed
I really like MEGA over mirror creator. Thx for that new cudahashcat 1.31 deb!
I will wait for KL 1.1.0 to install it, as will have to reinstall everything when it comes out. Tomorrow(5) me thinks.

After you run ./deviceQuery, capture the tail of the dmesg command and post it here
Edit: did you run optirun. /deviceQuery or just
./deviceQuery?
It needs the optirun prefix

To uninstall, just use the --uninstall flag on the installer you used.
Make sure you clean up bumblebee and primus too. The command below should work but make sure you read about what you're doing first.
apt-get purge bumblebee* primus* nvidia-*
and start again

Hi,
With your laptop on, and not plugged in, and not being used for 1 or 2 mins, can you perform the following?
upower -d
Please post the results. I've been dealing with nvidia and optimus and cuda since 2011, and some of the steps you did seem a bit unnecessary.

First of all, I would like to thank staticn0de (https://forums.kali.org/member.php?23325-staticn0de) for starting this thread. Optimus users should stick with this thread. Also thanks to Quest (https://forums.kali.org/member.php?18099-Quest) for his solutions that kept this thread up-to-date.
Users, I see a lot of posts regarding failed installation and errors. Let me clarify few things
Mix-matching NVIDIA repo driver and NVIDIA site driver will BREAK your GUI and in most cases you will end up reinstalling.
I've added a new guide for Kali Linux 1.1.0 kernel 3.18 (http://www.blackmoreops.com/2015/02/12/kali-linux-1-1-0-kernel-3-18-install-proprietary-nvidia-driver/). This guide also works fine on a new installation. Again do not mix match 2 sets of drivers.
If GPU processing is what you're after, perhaps Debian/Kali is not the best distro (incoming flame! :rolleyes:)
Both guides will work flawlessly in new installation where users didn't muck around with Display drivers. Choose one and stick with it.
Btw, staticn0de (https://forums.kali.org/member.php?23325-staticn0de) why VirtualGL?
I thought it only helps to run OpenGL applications with full 3D hardware acceleration remotely! So if I am only after GPU processing, I don't need it. If I want to run an application with 3D acceleration movie at work (hmm, I shouldn't) over vnc from my home PC, then I go install it? Right?
This whole installation is about 3Gb. So at 1,3Mb, If one will go trough the circus of installing the whole shlabang, then I think the answer is 'so that everything will work if ever called upon from an application'?
Hi blackMORE and thanks for the updated guide over at http://www.blackmoreops.com
Maybe you can give me an answer to my question?
The new release runs a 3.18 kernel, patched for wireless injection attacks.
Our ISO build systems are now running off live-build 4.x.
Improved wireless driver support, due to both kernel and firmware upgrades.
NVIDIA Optimus hardware support.
Updated virtualbox-tool, openvm-tools and vmware-tools packages and instructions.
A whole bunch of fixes and updates from our bug-tracker changelog.
And most importantly, we changed grub screens and wallpapers!
What does the above mean exactly? This installation worked with previous version of Kali, and now we still have to install everything, so what is different with 1.1.0?
Cheers!

Hi blackmore,
I wrote it a while ago, but if I remember right (without Kali in front of me) I included it as it installed glxspheres64 for testing the driver.
IMPORTANT
must add some repos in, File System/etc/apt/sources.list (Thanks blackMORE).
## Regular repositories
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free

I'm installing now and will edit this post if something else comes up.
EDIT: The following lines will have to be modified if using CUDA 6.5 from this howto..
For the path, we will add a little more to what we defined for VirtualGL earlier. It should look like this in your bashrc file
nano ~/.bashrc
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/VirtualGL/bin:/usr/local/cuda-6.5/bin
Run the following so we don't have to log out
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/VirtualGL/bin:/usr/local/cuda-6.5/bin
Edit the following file so the contents match those shown below
nano /etc/ld.so.conf
Contents:
include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
add /usr/local/cuda-6.5/lib64
Save and close
Run
ldconfig
Build the nVidia samples
cd /root/NVIDIA_CUDA-6.5_Samples

Everything worked well as before, with all the latest versions, CUDA 6.5.14, VirtualGL 2.4, nVidia 346.35, CudaHashcat 1.31.

Hello everyone, I'm having trouble getting my nvidia drivers to work. I have a laptop with 2 gt 750m graphics card with SLI. In addition i'm running the latest kali linux 1.1.0 kernel 3.18. I have tried the post by blackMORE but ended with gdm3 not working after setting up the xorg.conf file. So I decided to follow this guide but I encountered an error. The error comes up while trying to install the official nvidia drivers. When I run the installer it gives me an error "unable to load kernel module" this is the full log.

Thanks for the reply Quest, but unfortunately I had already tried that and didn't work. I tried it again today and I still couldn't get the nvidia drivers to install properly. This is how my xorg.conf.nvidia file looks like

Also when I run " lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D' " I don't think it detects my second graphics card as it only displays two. Here is what I get

Once again thanks for the help Quest. Now regarding the SLI configuration, I don't think that's what's causing the problem as the second graphics card is removable and not soldered into the main board as the primary is. As to your question I did make a fresh installation of Kali before trying this guide. I have actually reinstalled Kali multiple times to try this method (and others) several times without luck. I usually end up with gdm3 not working or the driver not installing. In addition, I have also followed the tutorial using the two graphics cards listed - separately and together. I'm not sure as to what is causing the problem.

Hey guys,
This built in support for Nvidia + Optimus looks repo based.
I've noticed that you do not need to add the debian wheezy repo anymore in order to install bumbelbee and primus. The latest versions are already within the kali repo.
AH! I've been looking for an answer for a week! Makes sense.

All it means that now Optimus driver's should work directly from Repo. So more pretty desktops.
It doesn't say if cudahashcat issue been fixed. The bug report (https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=1756) I raised for cudahashcat is still open, with normal priority and minor severity.

This guide and all graphics card related processing will not work under any circumstance with vmware, virtual box or any other virtualisation based set up.

That is a good idea, but the problem is that I can't install the NVIDIA drivers at all. The first error I get occurs after I run:
./NVIDIA*.run --dkms -z
So the NVIDIA driver never gets properly installed. Maybe if I use blackMORE's tutorial and then the fix you provided, there might be a possibility, but the fix is specific for this tutorial. I guess I have to keep looking.

Hey Guys, I have followed the tutorial but am still having a problem getting things to work with my GeForce GT 650M. After following the directions and rebooting after step 14 I lost my GUI. I still had access to the console via Alt+F1 so I continued to finish via console through step 21. I can't seem to restore my GUI and step 21 comes back with errors.
It doesn't look like the logs are going to fit so I threw it in PastBin: http://pastebin.com/6g8Hiy8k
Doesn't work anymore. Driver won't install. It was working earlier this week. I did a bunch of benchmark under 1.1.0. Weird.
I guess will have to wait until nVidia makes another driver that supports kernel 3.18, or for Static to pull another rabbit out to save us all, again.
For those who have it working don't do any updates.

Hey Quest,
Thanks for picking up those typos. I've gone and fixed them now.
Edit: Also, I just saw that hashcat 1.33 is out now. I'll make a new deb today and upload it for anyone interested. It's a shame it has not been put in the repo yet. That, and the repo has 1.31 for oclhashcat (amd).
I'm doing some experimenting to get the Intel 3D acceleration to work after this install, and no luck so far.
The nVidia driver and the glx-alternative-mesa_0.5.1 cannot coexist. One wants to uninstall the other. Ah well :)
so no need to restart Bumblebee between steps 12 and 13?

Hey mate,
No. That is not needed.
I had no problems at all installing anything using the steps of the first page. I even installed the headers you had to leave out.
I'm curious, the latest version of the driver prompts users to run NVIDIA-XCONFIG. Did you happen to run it? or others who had a black screen may have. That command kills bumblebee.

Ahh. That's a pain. I've already packed it and started an upload.
I'll start again lol. I'll build the fix into the deb.
Cool thank you :cool:
That 1.33 seems to be a great version. Alot of work was done.
This version 1.33 is the finalized version of what v1.32 should have been.
There's not much to see from the changelog but there was a ton of changes in the inner working which make this release is really a good one. http://hashcat.net/forum/thread-4085.html
I'm curious, the latest version of the driver prompts users to run NVIDIA-XCONFIG. Did you happen to run it? or others who had a black screen may have. That command kills bumblebee. **** no, I did that only once by mistake and yup, black screen.
I did try to install numerous time yesterday with the headers, it was not working, when it was working before. I tell ya this is weird.
And had similar issues earlier this week where the header would not install. Had to add some repos for it to work. I will reinstall everything(for the 15th time) again with your new cudaHashcat .deb, and I will remove those repos just to see.
Btw it was not the updates that was causing my problems(like I thought before) but only the header.

I had a look at a couple of repos last night. Out of the 10 I looked at, only two were current (this is for the kali-security repo).
That could cause some serious problems if your geo-location is connecting you to an out-of-date repo. Maybe that has something to do with it.
yes that would explain some of my paranormal experience.
## Regular repositories

## Source repositories
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib
deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free
I didn't have a choice as the headers would not install without those. But now that's probly my problem. Go figure.

and your .deb is superior to the source itself as it is contains the patch. I just find the whole thing quite bizarre. Not your service to the community, but the saga.
Will install everything later, minus the added repos to see if it 1. accepts the headers and 2. if the nVidia driver install with the headers. I could not do both since 1.1.0 came out.
I will also attempt to install everything off-line. If it works I will post all DL links.

Good call on reverting. I still haven't tested it.
I suffer huge losses in speed with the newer CUDA myself, not so much anything else.
You must have an out of date repo. The headers install fine for me, without them it is no surprise that your modules won't build.
Go over to the Kali Linux mirror list and manually point at one which had the headers in it. I went looking and found one (I have my own local repo I use) so I often search for the up to date ones to mirror.
I installed Kali with no Internet connection, so that is why I have to populate the sources.list with official repos. So I don't know what's up with that. I will try some other stuff eventually. Now I'm just sick of reinstalling(though I don't need the guide anymore lolll).

I'm having the "Unable to load kernel module" error when (trying numerous times) to install my Geforce GT 640M drivers on my laptop.
Attempting to install the driver version 346.47 on kernel 3.18.0, Kali 1.1.0.
I have followed every guide, to the word and freshly installed way to many times to retain 100% of my sanity. Should I wait for a new driver to be produced, or try something else?
Hi Lobster,
Try again and don't install the linux headers (step #5). It did work for me.
If not then, welcome to the nut house! ;)

Installing the headers should not be an issue. There has been a few posts lately about failed installs and 404 errors with the repos. I'm thinking that a few of the mirrors are out of date and this is causing some partial installs or some failed installs.
The thing about uname -r to install a kernel is that is checks the current running kernel and installs the header based on that.
if you updated from an older kernal and didn't reboot, the command linux-headers-$(uname -r) will install the headers for the older kernel.
What do you see if you run any of the following
apt-get install --dry-run linux-headers-3.18.0-kali1-amd64
apt-cache search linux-headers

I ran into that "Unable to load kernel module" from the NVIDIA installer (completely randomly)
Looks like it's an issue with the installer not unloading the nouveau module.
Unload it yourself after stopping the gdm3 service with:
modprobe -r nouveau
and then run
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-346.47.run --dkms -Z (note the big Z)
Works :cool:
I should have known. Especially since the NVIDIA install was warning me(sometimes) about nouveau.
That unsolved mystery solved, what is your take on the new cudaHashcat? I'm very skeptical about the makers(atom) claim that it works better and that everything is "fine", when the benchmark takes twice as long as before.
If anyone has comparative benchmark(any) between 1.31 and 1.33 please share. Still waiting for anyone saying that 1.33 runs better than 1.31 :confused:

Decent difference there. It's clear that 1.31 is much faster than 1.33.
I'm using CUDA 6.0 and the latest NVIDIA driver (I get better performance on the older CUDA)
I'll put the 1.31 link back up again.
Thank you staticn0de & Quest, I got it installed and it was the nouveau module causing the problem, I appreciate the help greatly.
I can now concentrate on obtaining my sanity once again!
atom basically says that 1.33 is faster in real life. When pointed out that a benchmark IS real life, he replied that it's just a script. Unfortunately I was never successful cracking a .hccap file with cudaHashcat, so I cannot compare the two versions. If someone does have such comparative sessions please post. I asked over at http://hashcat.net/ for anyone to post comparative benchmarks. No one did.
Ok you have me doubting about 6.5 now. What is your benchmark to test CUDA? The one we usually do with the "Result = PASS" ?
but wait... now that everything seems to be back to normal for installing the headers and NVIDIA, the GRUB boot menu has 4 entries..

How to deal with small wordlists
With oclHashcat v1.32 we added the AMP kernel that compute the password candidates on GPU. That had one advantage and one disadvantage.
The advantage was that you can now get full cracking speed even for the faster ones of the slow hashes like md5crypt because there's no bottleneck on the candidate generator engine.
...
http://hashcat.net/forum/thread-4162.html
I've reproduced the case, it's actually slower. Thanks for reporting!
But no worries, I already found the reason and fixed it. The bitmaps were optimized to run faster on a different hashlist size (much smaller one), but I an see that hashlist size around 500k is what we deal most of the time.
so i dunno. Confusing. Went from "everything is normal" to "actually slower". Hopefully they will get it sorted out with 1.34

modprobe -r nouveau
FATAL: nouveau is in use
how can i ?
so v1.1.0a solved all my kernel problems. All is back to normal.
Now we seem to have a new error message after running modprobe -r nouveau (with gdm3 being shut down)..
[ 872.758616] nouveau E[ PFIFO] [0000:01:00.0] SCHED_ERROR [ UNK00 ]

... no consequence though. Everything installed :cool:
- Post#4 (off-line install) is good.
- Waiting for cHc 1.34. No one has reported better performances under 1.33 so that's an X-file :confused:
...in the latest news...
no one knows how to install or run maskprocessor/linux over @ http://hashcat.net/forum/ :D and their wiki is useless.

Hey quest, what fails for you when you try and install?
hi friend!
actually it's not to install it(like previously thought), but it's a dependency problem..
:~# cd /usr/share/cudahashcat/ && ./mp64.bin -q 3 -r 4 ?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?dreturns
./mp64.bin: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by ./mp64.bin)
further inquiry indicates that wheezy uses 2.13. So I will try to modify my sources.list with a jessie repo to get libc6_2.19-15_amd64.deb and libc6-dev_2.19-15_amd64.deb, because to install those package manually got ugly.
I thought I was out of the woods with 1.1.0a... Never a dull moment i tell ya.

Try my custom deb:
https://mega.co.nz/#!NIslBaaL!tHP5tIWyU09gaXh6VBVcX_1AyOrJvEnq8LzoEHI ape8
test it with
mp64 -q 3 -r 4 ?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d
it works, but why is it, if I move the mp64.bin into the cudahashcat dir I get this..
~# cd /usr/share/maskprocessor-0.73 && ./mp64.bin -q 3 -r 4 ?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d
./mp64.bin: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by ./mp64.bin)
That's my problem.

2015-03-16, 05:37
Why are you moving it into a new directory? The directory "cd /usr/share/maskprocessor-0.73" is not where that deb installs it
I move my mp64.bin file all over the place and it works fine each time. I compiled it with the kali native glibc.
If you are seeing that error, are you sure that you are using the file from my deb, and not the binary you can download off the web?
what I'm trying to do:
markov chains is very efficient at creating words, but still spews out things like "arocassse" or with numbers "aroca7999". The odds of 3 repetitions for a human generated password are slim to none. I'm trying to eliminate those useless words using maskprocessor with the arguments '-q' and '-r' as those options are not included with cudahashcat.
-q 3 = no more than 1 repetition. Ex: aa
-r 4 = no more than 3 of the same char. Ex: aXaXa
ok so it's pretty simple, but when trying to pipe maskprocessor in cudahashcat it doesn't work in linux.
One solution proposed was to place mp64 in the cudahashcat dir. That is why I was trying that.
That was my original syntax, and since I've tried many..
cd /usr/share/cudahashcat/usr/share/maskprocessor && ./mp64.bin -q 3 -r 4 ?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d | cd /usr/share/cudahashcat/ && ./cudaHashcat64.bin -w 3 -t 10 -m 2500 /root/capture.hccap -a 3

I have a new system that I plan to run the latest Kali 1.1.0, which has installed the GeForce GTX 970. This guide looks like a great reference for getting started, but considering this isn't a laptop with Optimus enabled I'm not sure this will work for me. I tried following blackmoreops instructions http://www.blackmoreops.com/2015/02/12/kali-linux-1-1-0-kernel-3-18-install-proprietary-nvidia-driver/#comment-2758 , but keep getting a solid black screen w/o the cursor after my reboot (see comments in the link for reference to my comments there).
Has anyone been successful on a non-optimus with these instructions or have a different resource for the proper instructions? My Google-foo did not produce anything worth-while.
Great guide - keep up the good work.:)
Works here with the following syntax.
yes and thanks. Basically I was trying to make it do something that it was not supposed to do, which is to keep the '-t' argument and limit char recurrence with 'r' and 'q'. That failed. The rest of my problems were just me having another linux esoteric experience.
Also, I saw your other thread about handshakes.. that's another can of worms. Just read the last post from mmusket33. He's having a linux paranormal experience of his own :D

Hi there,
I don't have any nvidia cards in my desktop installs so I can't write a guide for you.
It should be much the same. As in, update fully, Install Kali Linux headers, chmod the nvidia installer, install the driver and then actually run nvidia-xconfig.
Include the - - dkms and - Z flag on the installer.
Edit: I had a look at BMO guide, without checking it is possible that the drivers from the repo are too old for your modern card.
Hit control + all + f2 for another console and check dmesg when it tries to load your nvidia module.
Otherwise, grab the nvidia installer from the nvidia website like the guide here uses.

Hi there and welcome to the forum.
I'm taking a wild guess that you are trying to install the latest CUDA (version 7). Did you happen to use this link?
http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/7_0/Prod/local_installers/cuda_7.0.28_linux.run
CUDA can't find the version of the driver you currently have installed.
Did you follow the message provided by the installer?
You don't want to use the --driver flag as it will already be installed if you followed the guide.
I haven't downloaded the CUDA 7.0 installer yet (it's going now). Try the --help flag on your cuda*.run installer and look for a flag that will disable the driver check.
If you can't find one, --override should do it.
Edit: If you see that message at the end of the install (as in CUDA has installed samples and all that goodness) just ignore the message. You didn't really post what you were doing at the time so I'm not sure how to help.
Thanks, staticn0de, for respond. Sorry for uncomplet description of problem, I'm going to suplement this now.

Yes, I was running exactly step by step through your guide till moment of CUDA installation. And I'm trying to do so with latest (cuda-7.0). Now with installer from your link. I understand that i don't need to use --driver. I was looking for flag to disable the driver check, but i didn't find any. Also tried --override, but this didn't help me.
Edit: If you see that message at the end of the install (as in CUDA has installed samples and all that goodness) just ignore the message. You didn't really post what you were doing at the time so I'm not sure how to help.
Yes, this message appears at the end of installation. I'm new in useing CUDA technology, so for me message: "This installation did not install the CUDA Driver." is critical, and i received "CUDA Driver" as critical part of installation, meaning, for me, that I can't use this technology. So I started to find the way out.
But if you suggests me to ignore this message, as it appears at the end of installation informations, I'll set up dynamic linker for CUDA and try to build some samples to check it out.
I'll notify the results here soon.

You don't need CUDA to ins the driver as we already installed it. All we need from CUDA is the toolkit and the samples.

@Rarity
What are the contents of your /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia file?
Do you have any other monitors connected to your laptop?
Toggle bumblebee with the following and post dmesg
# tee /proc/acpi/bbswitch <<<OFF
# tee /proc/acpi/bbswitch <<<ON
Did you use option glxspheres?
What version of CUDA are you running?

Hi staticn0de, I have ran into a similar problem but your solution did not seem to resolve it.
As I got the error "Unable to load kernel module", I decided to load the module myself which resulted in this:
modprobe -vv nvidia
insmod /lib/modules/3.18.0-kali3-amd64/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
libkmod: INFO ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:829 kmod_module_insert_module: Failed to insert module '/lib/modules/3.18.0-kali3-amd64/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko': No such device
ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': No such device
libkmod: INFO ../libkmod/libkmod.c:319 kmod_unref: context 0x7f7bcd4a22c0 released
Do you have any idea what is wrong? :confused: I have succeeded installing nvidia before so I think this is not a problem with having the wrong installer.
