issue in detecting nvidia gpu in kali

[komicha]

I have two graphical cards in my computer : nvidia 740m et intel hd.Both are detected and run perfectly under Windows 8 but when i test it in kali linux, i only detect intel hd.

the "lspci | grep -i vga" command give : 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)

you can see that the keyword Nvidia is present in the output, but when i use Nvidia-detect , it give me no nvidia gpu detected.

what could be the problem??

[dnuxer]

same problem with me,

i use asus k46cb with nvida gforce GT740m

still wait for the solution

[staticn0de]

I was able to make optirun work (740M would process the graphics for software like glxspheres) under Kali.

Just need to add the wheezy back ports repo and install bumblebee and nvidia-glx (instructions on the bumblebee wiki for debian)

I was not able to make cudahashcat or any other type of cuda work though.

Would not error out, just would not detect the nvidia card.

I've been trying for over a week. Hopefully someone figures out cuda on optimus based laptops.

[i6l6l6u]

whitch kali version you have ? staticn0de i have the 1.0.6 64bit version. so i downgraded to 32 bit version or it possible to install to 64 bit version?

[staticn0de]

1.0.6 fully updated 64Bit. I've never tried the 32bit.

Keep in mind that makes the drivers work and makes optirun work. But cuda and cudahashcat won't work. But I guess it's a step in the right direction.

Something along these lines (sorry, on my phone)

Fully update kali

Nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Add:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy-backports main contrib non-free

Save

Apt-get update

Apt-get install Linux-headers-$(uname - r)

cd ~
Wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/virt....3.3_amd64.deb

dpkg - I virtualgl_2.3.3_amd64.deb

Nano /etc/profile

Add /opt/virtualgl/bin to your path (double check this location, the folder will contain glxspheres64.)

Save and logout and then in.

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -t wheezy-backports bumblebee-nvidia primus primus-libs:i386

That will take a while.

Use optirun glxspheres64

That command should make a window appear with a decent fps. Run just glxspheres64 on its own and it should be much less. This shows when you are using the video card.

Any errors about gpu not avalible follow the troubleshooting at the end of the bumblebee wiki, they will sort you out.

https://wiki.debian.org/Bumblebee

Remember to remove the entry in the sources.list and maybe an apt-get clean & & apt-get update

where put the pfath ? i dont understand

[staticn0de]

Where that file has:

PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"

Change to:

PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/opt/virtualgl"

Just remember to make sure /opt/virtualgl is the directory with glxspheres64

[i6l6l6u]

the file glxspheres64 in folder opt/VirtualGL/bin so i use them PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/opt/virtualgl/bin" ? right

[staticn0de]

Yes, that's right.

[i6l6l6u]

OK i try it now

[i6l6l6u]

I hope it was done

[brazen]

your answer may be here that i posted a few weeks ago
https://forums.kali.org/showthread.p...fxi&highlight=

What is sgfxi?
sgfxi is a self-updating nvidia, ati/amd fglrx, and xorg free driver installer and xorg configuration script written for originally for Debian, but since expanded to also include support for Ubuntu and Arch Linux systems.

Easy to use, updated usually the same day as new nVidia drivers are released. fglrx support is much less reliable because ATI/AMD does not actively support cutting edge software, but it should be good for most fixed pool distributions based on Debian/Ubuntu, and the Debian Stable/Testing/Sid branch, as well as Arches rolling release model.

[i6l6l6u]

doesnt work 4 me, but ty 4 help

[staticn0de]

optirun glxspheres64
[ 5281.263647] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: Could not load GPU driver

[ 5281.263695] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.

These are the errors I mentioned may appear

nano /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf

find the line: KernelDriver=nvidia and change to KernelDriver=nvidia-current

lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D'

Find the line which mentions nvidia or 3D and note the bus address (mine was 03:00.00)

nano /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia

Find the section that looks that the one below:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Device1"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"

Add a line for the bus ID so it looks like this (assuming your Bus ID from lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D' was 03:00.00)

Section "Device"
Identifier "Device1"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BusID "PCI:03:00:0"

Note how the "." before the last 0 is now a ":"

restart bumblebee with:

service bumblebeed restart

run:

optirun glxspheres64

Should be fixed.

i have read that it´s may be a kernel probleme related with the linux 3.12 (wich is the some kernel in my kali machine).do you have the same kernel??? the kernel 3.13 is not yet disponible for kali , so the other solution is to downgrade back to kernel 3.11. anyone now how to do that???
