Kali Linux 2.0 Graphical issue?

[Sir_Ninja]

Hello so I just recently installed Kali Linux on my PC everything works fine except for the graphics. Sometimes things get cut off such as the login screen but once I log in everything seems to look ok. Does anyone know what is causing this and how I could fix it?

Hi guys!

So, first check in documentation if you are using the correct repositories.
After check, apt-get update; apt-get upgrade

@baygon: What is your VM version?

[nuklearny]

Hi Crash
My source.list is okey and full upgrade is done

deb http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib

deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security/ sana/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security/ sana/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian wheezy main

No man, you sources.list are NOT ok!
Adding additional repositories values added will most likely BREAK YOUR INSTALL (eg ppas/debian/ubuntu). -> Probably it is your problem.
Official & default values -> http://docs.kali.org/general-use/kali-linux-sources-list-repositories.

Probably you are using wrong libs because of debian wheezy repositories. Now you need to figure out what is wrong remove this and install the right packts/libs.
My recomendation is: Reinstall your kali and follow the official documentation.

guys, i this one works!!! clap clap clap...

install kernel headers and dkms

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r) dkms

dowload nvidia driver installation and make it executable.

wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/340.76/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.76.run
chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.76.run

next step is to disable nouveau driver.

sed 's/quiet/quiet nouveau.modeset=0/g' -i /etc/default/grub
update-grub
reboot

last, get the info about graphics card (GPU)

lspci -vnn | grep VGA -A 12

(nouveau shouldn't be there)

Hi,
I have the same graphic card. The display manager is messed up every time I boot but it fixes it self after I successfully login and logout. But the problem persists after every boot. I solved it by changing the default display manager which is gdm3 to lightdm. Its not as fancy as gdm but it works and loads faster too. Hope it helps.

To install lightdm:
apt-get install lightdm

To change default display manager:
dpkg-reconfigure gdm3

I run kali linux on hard disk I mean this is the only system in my pc. i've been tried every possible way to install graphic driver and still get a black screen , I did everything in the original guide and even tried a lot of private guides, the last msg I got from the system says that 'need to enable nvidia in Xorg'.
btw I can't use glxinfo command it says 'unable to open display' maybe the problem connected to this issue...
I will be glad if someone can help me and tell me the packages that need to be downloaded right after the installation of kali, and i will format and reinstall the system according to your answers.
