I have installed Kali Linux 1.0.5 on a ASUS ZenBook Laptop
I have a nVIDIA GEFORCE GT 620M card
But for some reason when I type nvidia-detect I get nVIDIA GPU not detected.
lspci even will not see it.
This a fresh install and all updates are done.
I would like to install the nVIDIA drivers to use CUDA but wont work if no card is detected.
I want to mention that I am new to linux
Thanks for all your help.
post the output of this command: lspci | grep -i vga
also : lsmod | grep -i nou*
and : lspci -v (Just post the vga section)
lspci | grep -i vga output :

lsmod | grep -i nou* output :

Thanks again
You have 2 video cards, the other one and the default one is intel.
You need to disable one and use only one. I belive you should look into the bios and disable one of them.
It is an Optimis card
not two cards
in the bios there is no option about enabling or disabling video cards
I have the same notebook - UX32VD - and it is an Optimus implementation with an Intel HD4000 onboard and an NVIDIA GeForce GT 620M discrete GPU. I may be mistaken but I remember this working fine in Kali 1.0 and Back|Track 5u3. I'm also stuck at getting pyrit to recognize the CUDA device.
lspci | grep -i vga
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
the GT 620M shows up as:
01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1140 (rev a1)
lsmod | grep -i nouveau returns nothing while lsmod | grep -i nvidia returns:
nvidia 9384498 0
i2c_core 24042 7 drm,i915,i2c_i801,drm_kms_helper,i2c_algo_bit,nvid ia,videodev
The end result is no NVIDIA splash on login and no CUDA recognition.
how did you manage to install bumblebee in your laptop? (I've got a samsung s5 with similar specs and the same graphic card)
I Can't even find working repos for kali linux 1.05... repos at http://suwr ako.nomanga.net are no longer valid for debian...
...as far as I can understand, it seems that sid repos are what we need now toinstall bumblebee in kali, but I still need to confirm these
