Kali 2.0 Sana apt-get update problems + AMD Driver Issues

[titmy]

Hi all I'm having some issues with apt-get update and properly setting up the GPU processing for cracking w Hashcat and Pyrit

Some background

root@kali:~# uname -a
Linux kali 4.0.0-kali1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.0.4-1+kali2 (2015-06-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux

1) When I run apt-get update:

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I have tried many remedies such as updating /etc/apt/sources.list or waiting it out as some said mirrors are down. However problem still persists after few days.

2) I have tried many ways to install AMD driver as I use a Radeon AMD HD7850 but I couldn't get any to work.
I've followed manual installing the driver from here
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questi...-kali-2-0-sana
https://forums.hak5.org/index.php?/t...er-install/ali 1.0x instructions
and also must kali linux 1.0x instructions but all doesnt work.

Could anyone enlighten me on this issues and the proper way to get AMD GPU processing up on my kali 2.0?

Thank you

Cheers.

Also trying to install fglrx....

Apt-get update works fine. I have is some problem with metasploit package while upgrade, but it doesn't matter for gpu drivers.

root@kali:/# apt-get upgrade

Error http://http.kali.org/kali/ sana/main metasploit-framework amd64 4.11.5-2015120901-0kali1~r1u1
404 Not Found

The real problem for me is that apt-get installfglrx-atieventsd fglrx-driver fglrx-control fglrx-modules-dkms -y shows errors

root@kali:/# apt-get install fglrx-driver [/B]

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
fglrx-driver : Depends: xorg-video-abi-18 but it is not installable or

Finally!

root@kali:~/# fglrxinfo

This solution worked for me: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questi...-kali-2-0-sana

titmy: U can try another solution for a newer driver. Download ATI 15.9 (15.201) and patch it manually. It works for me too.

Hi buggie: Glad it work for you. the thing is I am having this error when following the procedure that was successful for you http://unix.stackexchange.com/questi...-kali-2-0-sana


root@kali:~# fglrxinfo
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 155 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GLXCreateContext)
Value in failed request: 0x0
Serial number of failed request: 17
Current serial number in output stream: 18

so I hope someone could help me out on this. Does this looks familiar to anyone?

[buggie]

do u have installed libgl1-fglrx-glx? I had same error when i installed it manually when was trying to instal fglrx from repos.

try apt-get remove libgl1-fglrx-glx and then install ATI drivers from this solution http://unix.stackexchange.com/questi...-kali-2-0-sana

[titmy]

Oh thanks got it working alr. It actually needed a reboot haha.
Anyway buggie have you tried booting ur kali on other devices?

I can't seem to get it working on my macbook although it works fine on my pc. Seems like the GNOME laptop problem as mentioned http://unix.stackexchange.com/questi...-kali-2-0-sana but after downloading the mutter packages and installing, kali still doesnt work on my laptop/
It just shows a black screen and blinking cursor after boot menu.

Have you tried ur kali on laptops after installing this fglrx driver?

[buggie]

hey i never used and even touched Apple hardware so i don't know about them anything I'm using laptop only for pocket-injection and other things so don't need fglrx driver, even if it has good external external gpu - AMD Radeon HD 8730M, it is shitty if i compare this gpu with R9 290 on my PC.

I few months ago i did a test to install ATI proprietary from amd website (and also from repos) but there were some issues with support this gpu and i was unable to run pyrit/hashcat.

[titmy]

As in it doesnt need to be a mac, have you run ur kali on other devices that uses integrated intel graphics? Doesnt seem to work for me with the fglrx driver only supporting AMD cards?
