Read the first post carefully and follow it.

Peeps who say they cannot get it working should read the first post thoroughly. Try a new install of kali 2.0 and do not try apt-get update prior to get your card working.
PLEASE READ THE TUT CAREFULLY AND TRY TO FOLLOW THE STEPS and don't complain about it not working when you do not follow the steps given in the very first post.
Zenmen I don't know how you assumed the steps for installing nvidia card but you haven't read the first post for sure, please try it first before posting and tell me if you get stuck.

Here is a sort of condensed version that I used...

I'm using: kali-linux-2.0-amd64 with NVIDIA-Linux-86_64-352.63

Update and Upgrade

Code:

apt-get update

Code:

apt-get dist-upgrade

Code:

apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname-r)

Download latest NVIDIA driver
http://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx

Move to terminal with CTRL+ALT+F1

Purge old drivers

Code:

apt-get remove nvidia-kernel-dkms

Code:

apt-get remove nvidia-* --purge

Code:

apt-get remove nvidia* --purge

Move to downloads folder

Code:

cd /root/Downloads

Make executable

Code:

chmod +x <Your NVIDIA file name>

Stop gdm3

Code:

service gdm3 stop

Run the NVIDIA setup

Code:

./<Your NVIDIA file name> -a

Ignore warning about 32bit stuff

Accept xconfig notice

Start gdm3 and return to GUI

Code:

service gdm3 start

Create blacklist file

Code:

nano /etc/modeprob.d/nvidia-installer-disable-nouveau.conf

Add the following

Code:

blacklist nouveau options nouveau modeset=0 options nouveau.modeset=0

Final updates

Code:

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

NOTE: This was all learned following sihag's tutorial and all props go to him. I am not responsible for any issues or typos but will correct them as I learn about them ;)

followed the steps and X11 log says: No screen found. Any ideas?

DKMS error

Hi

I tried this guide and hit these flaws:
If trying to install before doing any updates, the 4.6 doesn't seem to be available when running: apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname-r)

I then ran the updates and the NVidia installer couldn't build DKMS.
Another post I found somewhere suggested: apt-get install -y nvidia-support. It didn't for me though.

The version I have from Nvidia is 367, tried with 370 and 375 but they had exactly the same errors.

Any suggestions?

Thanks :)

You don't have to change the file name to something shorter... tab completion is your friend.

have the same problem installing nvidia geforce gtx 960m driver in my Dell 7559 using Kali Rolling. I did the same step indicated from the first post, still no good. I tried also installing legacy-340xx drivers from the repo, still failed. I'm stuck with "after login hang-up" issue. Please help

When did this error occurs? on which step precisely?

I had high hopes this would solve my issue, unfortunately this didn't work for me under latest kali with a GTX 1060 card.

Regardless of what I do I either get the black screen and have to TTY login or after renaming the config file to get to a login it instead brings me to an oops page where my login page would be. Only option I currently have is to purge the nvidia content & use the nouveau drivers. This is a serious bummer.

Not sure if the issue is due to Kali not being completely compatible with these newer cards or if it doesn't play nice when systems have both an intel card and gtx 1060 card. I don't think it's the latter as I've seen my same exact issue reported on various forums.

If anyone has the latest Kali build, integrated intel graphics card + the Nvidia GTX1060 card that has gotten it to work, you'd be a godsend right about now.
