(Guide) Installing Nvidia + Bumblebee + CUDA for Optimus enabled Laptops

**staticn0de** · 2014-07-07

Updated for Kali 2.0 Sana

Hey guys, I'm rewriting this to use the repo as Kali Sana looks to have up-to-date nvidia drivers straight out of the gate.

Code:

NVIDIA Driver 352.21
CUDA 7.5.18 (the repo has 6.0.37-5, it's a bit old so I'm manually installing 7.5.18)
VirtualGL 2.4.90
Pyrit v308 (optional)
cudaHashcat (optional)

Couple of points

1. This guide and all GPU passthrough software such as cuda_pyrit and cudahashcat will never work if run from within a Virtual Machine. Please don't post that it does not work for you in a VM because you should have read this.

2. I'm going to assume that you are either on a fresh install of Kali or have the skills to clean up any conflicting software.

3. I run 64bit software. If you don't, change the files you download to match what you use. (Edit: CUDA does not support 32bit anymore)

4. If you have any issues or if something does not work, follow the template linked here and post the results of all commands.

Lets get started.

1. Update Kali

Code:

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade

2. Download VirtualGL and install it. Grab the latest non-beta

Code:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/virtualgl/files/

Install with:
cd ~
dpkg -i virtualgl*.deb

3. Download CUDA 7.5. Grab the x64 or 14.04 *.run file (should be 1.1gb)

Code:

https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads

5. Install linux headers for your kernel

Code:

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

6. Install dependencies we will need later. The first two are for CUDA and the last is for pyrit

Code:

apt-get install freeglut3-dev libxmu-dev libpcap-dev

7. Update system PATH. Notice that the PATH references CUDA 7.5. If you have a different version, change it to match.

Code:

nano ~/.bashrc

Add the following line and then save and close bashrc
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/VirtualGL/bin:/usr/local/cuda-7.5/bin

8. Export the system path. We export the path from terminal so we can take advantage of it without restart. Run the following in terminal

Code:

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/VirtualGL/bin:/usr/local/cuda-7.5/bin

9. Install bumblebee-nvidia and primus. Just press enter when the messages appear and ignore the warning about rrmod.

Code:

apt-get install bumblebee-nvidia primus

10. Edit the bumblebee config file so bumblebee knows we are using the NVIDIA driver. Change the 'Driver=' value. Should be line 22. The module from the repo driver is 'nvidia-current' but we set 'nvidia' here so that the nvidia section of bumblebee.conf is called.

Code:

nano +22 /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf

Make it read:
Driver=nvidia

check line 55 and make sure it reads:
KernelDriver=nvidia-current

Save and close

11. Run the following and record the PCI address of your video card. It will look similar to 03:00.0

Code:

lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D'

12. Edit the xorg.conf.nvidia file so it knows the PCI address of your video card. Note that the last group of numbers is now seperated with a ":" instead of a ".". We are editing under the area 'Section "Device"'

Code:

nano /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia

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

14. Reboot

Code:

shutdown -r now

15. Now we have restarted, test the driver. glxsheres64 will test the driver and modinfo nvidia will show the version loaded.

Code:

optirun glxspheres64

modinfo nvidia

16. Prepare CUDA for install

Code:

cd ~
chmod +x cuda*.run

17. Run the CUDA install

Code:

./cuda*.run

Accept the EULA
Select yes to unsupported configuration
No to graphics driver
Yes to the toolkit
Accept default location
Yes to symbolic link
Yes to samples
Yes to default samples location
The toolkit will install

18. Set up the dynamic linker for CUDA. Notice that this is slightly different than the path added for .bashrc

Code:

nano /etc/ld.so.conf

Match the contents below

include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
/usr/local/cuda-7.5/lib64

19. Excute the following to load our changes

Code:

ldconfig

20. Install libcuda1. You will get an incorrect driver version error if you don't.

Code:

apt-get install libcuda1

21. Build the NVIDIA samples so we can confirm CUDA is working with optirun

Code:

cd /root/NVIDIA_CUDA-7.5_Samples/1_Utilities/deviceQuery/
make

22. Run deviceQuery and then post your pass! If you see a pass, it all worked out! If not, follow the link at the start of the guide and post everything asked.

Code:

optirun ./deviceQuery

Optional Installs - cudaHashcat and Pyrit

This section is for optional installs. If you installed CUDA on Kali, Im tipping these are both applications you are interested in.

Points

1. If you have any issues installing any of this, post the complete output of any commands entered.

cudaHashcat

You have two options, download the archive from the hashcat website and install it manually (sorry, I'm not going into that. If you need instructions, check their wiki)

The second option is download my deb file. You can install it with a single command and then call cuda hashcat with either 'cudahashcat64' (for 64bit) or 'cudahashcat32' (for 32bit). Grab and install it from the link below.

Disclaimer
While some forum members make use of my deb, I am not a member of either the hashcat team or the Kali dev team. I could have edited the contents of the deb in any way (including maliciously). Take care when downloading from unknown sources. I provide no warranty and do not claim that it is fit for any purpose, including that which it is intended.

I repackaged the hashcat binary in accordance with their EULA so it would install easily on Kali. I also removed non-linux binaries.

1. cudahashcat 2.01

Code:

https://mega.nz/#!sZFngKJR!njrug2Y4nxs0aHemQg-SKKGAmXiK1XeALTtnP8IGYNU

dpkg -i cudahashcat-2.01.deb

2. cudahashcat 1.36

Code:

https://mega.co.nz/#!gAtAQDJY!x9FIs2ssQ66HmlXMdGDUiPI-l45el0dAFUpaGTm_P-0

dpkg -i cudahashcat-1.36.deb

3. cudahashcat 1.35

Code:

https://mega.co.nz/#!dN8ESI7D!-jxoTZBwVddzKZ2r0MuQ5T4sDJZ5NSOnkrNvxpDuNNg

dpkg -i cudahashcat-1.35.deb

4. cudahashcat 1.34

Code:

https://mega.co.nz/#!0Z9DHBob!0QA3clJqszGEExTKlKTBPLJEoDvXIiBwBepiYgWZbew

dpkg -i cudahashcat-1.34.deb

5. cudahashcat 1.33

Code:

https://mega.co.nz/#!oQNQhRyT!gTSxCEB5APkMgdaJl_k91h_9lgwK4LWUfwfTdGHAbEU

dpkg -i cudahashcat-1.33.deb

6. cudahashcat 1.31 (seems to be faster than 1.33)

Code:

https://mega.co.nz/#!kFMC2RQC!D1ccQYAwsWyGKD0CaV4W7n5Ghtc-YKFFxs7Qj1pgcw0

dpkg -i cudahashcat-1.31.deb

The deb sums are

Code:

cudahashcat 2.01
md5sum = 69a9289e05a6e4b25728d5738a48f76c

cudahashcat 1.36
md5sum = f4ea04116a8495ea3e850fc993220554

cudahashcat 1.35
md5sum = ccdc7ebf4c4a947d14fa663a982e3c10

cudahashcat 1.34
md5sum = e611e16ab1f3c42c5e98d3ef615a0cd4

cudahashcat 1.33
md5sum = 82f4975f02af1288de058c93552b981d

cudahashcat 1.31
md5sum = b753c393264b3c40e51f057a96f3f6e9

Test it with

Code:

optirun cudahashcat64 -t 32 -a 7 example0.hash ?a?a?a?a example.dict

To remove it

Code:

dpkg -r cudahashcat-2.01

and check the following directories and files are removed

/usr/bin/cudahashcat32 (file)
/usr/bin/cudahashcat64 (file)
/usr/share/cudahashcat (directory)

Pyrit

The following instructions are slightly modified from the pyrit google code page here

Code:

https://code.google.com/p/pyrit/wiki/Installation

1. Move to your home directory (I'm installing it there) and then check out the pyrit trunk

Code:

cd ~

svn checkout http://pyrit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ pyrit_svn

2. Build and install pyrit

Code:

cd pyrit_svn/pyrit/
python setup.py build
python setup.py install

3. Add CUDA support

Code:

cd ../cpyrit_cuda/
python setup.py build
python setup.py install

4. Test pyrit

Code:

optirun pyrit benchmark

Great guide staticn0de!

- This post edited with download links for an OFF-Line installation on Kali 1.1.0 -

Download CUDA, VirtualGL, Nvidia, CudaHashcat, from previous posts above.
This does not include Kali Linux updates or Headers. Just the extra packs required for this guide.
All links point to Debian wheezy(stable) packages whenever possible or equivalent/default.

Scroll down the page at Debian and choose your architecture under "Download".
Choose a server to download from.

All packs go in Home, the /root directory. Remove them when installation is done.
Install from root with

Code:

dpkg -i name.deb

(6.) Download and Install dependencies for CUDA and Pyrit.

freeglut3-dev
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/freeglut3-dev

libxmu-headers
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/libxmu-headers

libxmu-dev
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/libxmu-dev

libpcap-dev
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/libpcap-dev

(9.) Download and Install bumblebee and primus.

linux-headers (another "linux headers")(mine was linux-headers-amd64_3.18+63+kali2.1_amd64.deb)
http://ftp.tku.edu.tw/kali/pool/main/l/linux-latest/

dkms
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/dkms

primus-libs
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy-b...ts/primus-libs

primus
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy-backports/primus

Optional. Download and Install Pyrit and add-on for Nvidia CUDA.

pyrit_svn 0.4.1-dev svn r308

From Linux, enter in a console;

Code:

svn checkout http://pyrit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ pyrit_svn

That will download a folder in /root (Home) named, pyrit_svn
That folder is pyrit 0.4.1 svn r308. You can then save that folder for later off-line installations.

Built and install Pyrit and add CUDA support.

Code:

cd pyrit_svn/pyrit/

Code:

python setup.py build

Code:

python setup.py install

Code:

cd ../cpyrit_cuda/

Code:

python setup.py build

Code:

python setup.py install

Any advice?

Many thanks staticn0de I'm getting closer!

I'm not sure what's causing that, but let's see if we can get you sorted out.

To start, run:
diff /usr/src/nvidia-current-331.67/Module.symvers /usr/src/nvidia-current-331.67/uvm/Module.symvers

Any feedback from the above command means you need to delete the Module.symvers from the folder on the right and copy from the directory on the left into the directory on the right again. Once copied, run make in the uvm/ folder and copy it to /lib/modules/3.14-kali1-amd64/updates/dkms/

Post the feedback from below:
echo $PATH

Post the feedback from:
cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf

Post the feedback from:
ls /lib/modules/3.14-kali1-amd64/updates/dkms

Run modprobe nvidia-uvm and then run dmesg right after. Post the output in code brackets.

Run lsmod and post output in code brackets

You could also try modprobe nvidia and then modprobe nvidia-current and then modprobe nvidia-uvm

Edit: Some other cool stuff you could try is a:
depmod -a
modprobe nvidia-uvm

and then post the output of:
cat /lib/modules/3.14-kali1-amd64/modules.dep | grep -i nvidia

**Quest** · 2014-07-08

the odds are that it was the operator(me), though I would like to reassure you that I fallowed your guide precisely, on a fresh installation of Kali 1.0.7 x64. I can even point out a small mistake in a syntax(induced by LibreOffice auto correction)

First, install the linux headers. We need this so we can compile bbswitch later
apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname –r)

I did however strugeled alot with the nano console, as I did not know how to save changes. Save with F2, then Y, then "File Name to Write: xxxxxx, Enter

Last night I decided to re-install, so I will do it again, then if I still encounter the same problem, I will proceed with post#5 and report back.

Thank you my friend

**staticn0de** · 2014-07-08

Good pickup! I've fixed it now.

As for nano, control + x, then y and then enter will save your changes and then close the file.

i ran into this last night when search for a possible solution. This is recent 2 May 2014. Could there be a bug with versions nvidia-graphics-drivers/331.67-1, nvidia-graphics-drivers/331.67-2, nvidia-graphics-drivers/331.79-1 ?

I don't believe a bug is causing this as It's working here. Like all things linux, it will be a one liner somewhere that will fix it.

Would you please post your /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf and xorg.nvidia.conf in the same directory.

The way it works is that nvidia-uvm depends on the nvidia-current module. We know that works because you can use optirun glxspheres.

Did you have any useful dmesg feedback from after the modprobe?

Did you add the cuda libraries and then run ldconfig? I'm sure you did, but I was just going through the feedback you posted (I assume you omitted doing it because I didn't ask for it)

Hopefully we can get this sorted out soon

**Quest** · 2014-07-09

xD yes it definitely feels like the setup is missing a line somewhere.

Here is the output of bumblebee.conf and xorg.conf.nvidia..

bumblebee.conf

Code:

# Configuration file for Bumblebee. Values should **not** be put between quotes

## Server options. Any change made in this section will need a server restart
# to take effect.

I can't remember if I had any useful dmesg feedback from after the modprobe.

I did add the cuda libraries and then run ldconfig. Yes. I can reinstall again and copy the info from ldconfig and modprobe if need be.

Let me know if I can provide anything else for the investigation

Greetings,

I'm fighting for a good 2 months trying to install bumblebee properly on my laptop, to enable my Nvidia 650m

.

I've been following this guide step by step, and i'm stuck at the 'optirun glxspheres64' part. My computer simply shutdown without any warnings, as soon as I hit 'Enter' in the prompt

.

I did install the 340 driver correctly, and i can tell it's loaded as it should, thanks to the "modinfo nvidia" command.

Here is what 'uname -r' returns :

Code:

 3.14-kali1-amd64

Hi,

With your laptop on, and not plugged in, and not being used for 1 or 2 mins, can you perform the following?

Code:

upower -d

Please post the results. I've been dealing with nvidia and optimus and cuda since 2011, and some of the steps you did seem a bit unnecessary.

Thanks

**blackMORE** · 2015-02-12

First of all, I would like to thank staticn0de for starting this thread. Optimus users should stick with this thread. Also thanks to Quest for his solutions that kept this thread up-to-date.

Users, I see a lot of posts regarding failed installation and errors. Let me clarify few things

Mix-matching NVIDIA repo driver and NVIDIA site driver will BREAK your GUI and in most cases you will end up reinstalling.
I've added a new guide for Kali Linux 1.1.0 kernel 3.18. This guide also works fine on a new installation. Again do not mix match 2 sets of drivers.
If GPU processing is what you're after, perhaps Debian/Kali is not the best distro (incoming flame! )
Both guides will work flawlessly in new installation where users didn't muck around with Display drivers. Choose one and stick with it.

Btw, staticn0de why VirtualGL?
I thought it only helps to run OpenGL applications with full 3D hardware acceleration remotely! So if I am only after GPU processing, I don't need it. If I want to run an application with 3D acceleration movie at work (hmm, I shouldn't) over vnc from my home PC, then I go install it? Right?

Hi blackmore,

I wrote it a while ago, but if I remember right (without Kali in front of me) I included it as it installed glxspheres64 for testing the driver.

**Ramrsoccer** · 2015-03-26

I'm a very new to linux and am trying to learn i have some of the basics down and an ready to go in to more "harder" territories. I have been trying to get this to work for about 4 days and have reinstalled kali about 7 times because i just couldn't get past it.
I followed this guide and actually got GDM3 to work, (unkike other times i have tried), after installing i installed pyrit, and tried to use it, At first i used the pyrit benchmark but i saw my speeds were slower than my aircrack speeds, this puzzled me because i saw people getting hudge speeds with far less advanced GPU than mine. (I am using a GTX 860m, with 640 Cuda cores)
http://pastebin.com/DScfwXAJ
Any suggestions? I'm coming to my wits end.

Hi there,

If the driver installed correctly and you don't get errors I would need to see your aircrack and pyrit speeds. Have you tried asking on the aircrack or pyrit forums?

Hoping someone can help here. Desktop system with 64-bit Kali 2.0 Rolling installed to HDD.

When running(as root) the CUDA install, I get the following output:

Code:

chmod +x cuda_7.5.18_linux.run
./cuda_7.5.18_linux.run

Accept the EULA
Select yes to unsupported configuration
No to graphics driver
Yes to the toolkit
Accept default location
Yes to symbolic link
Yes to samples
Yes to default samples location
The toolkit will install

ERROR:
Error: unsupported compiler: 5.3.1. Use –override to override this check.
Missing recommended library: libGLU.so
Missing recommended library: libXi.so
Missing recommended library: libXmu.so

Error: Cannot find Toolkit in /usr/local/cuda-7.5

So, the error seems pretty obvious that I do not have the correct compiler, but how should I find the correct one?

I did install all the CUDA dependencies:

Code:

apt-get install freeglut3-dev libxmu-dev libpcap-dev libssl-dev

Any help is much appreciated!

I got to step 15 but couldn't get optirun to work.
In the guide it doesn't look like we are disabling nouveau anywhere, shouldn't this cause a conflict with the Nvidia driver loading?

**Davide3i** · 2016-03-24

Here we're back again.
After installing the last Kali version (2016.1), I'm finding impossible to install the nVidia drivers with the guide in the first post: simply, like other users said, the guide is not applying from the step 15.
Someone found a way to make Kali work with those **** graphic drivers?

**Quest** · 2014-07-09

you know what, everything is fine until that step..

Now to fix the nvidia-uvm module (You don't know this yet, but it's broken.)

cd /usr/src/nvidia-current-331.67
make

cp Module.symvers uvm/

cd uvm/
make

Can you confirm that:
1. capital 'M' in "Module.symvers uvm/" syntax
2. the nvidia-uvm module is really broken, and needs fixing

I will try without fixing tomorrow see what happens. Now I'm going to dream about using piryt and hashcat

**Quest** · 2014-07-09

Nevermind the above post.

After a 3rd reinstall. Same results.

Here are some interesting bits, that might have nothing to do with it(?)

The NVIDIA GPU 0000:01:00.0 (PCI ID: 10de:0de9)
installed in this system is not supported by the 331.67
NVIDIA Linux driver release. Please see 'Appendix
A - Supported NVIDIA GPU Products' in this release's
README, available on the Linux driver download page

OH really? Let's go and see...

http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree8...rtedchips.html

Note that the list of supported GPU products provided below and on the driver download page is provided to indicate which GPUs are supported by a particular driver version. Some designs incorporating supported GPUs may not be compatible with the NVIDIA Linux driver: in particular, notebook and all-in-one desktop designs with switchable (hybrid) or Optimus graphics will not work if means to disable the integrated graphics in hardware are not available. Hardware designs will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, so please consult with a system's manufacturer to determine whether that particular system is compatible.

10de:0de9 is not supported by the 331.67 NVIDIA Linux driver release

This worked perfectly for me. Thanks staticn0de.

**Quest** · 2014-07-09

Let me understand something here... Why are we working with driver 331.67, and only that version. Is it because of bumblebee? (I'm quite stubborn and still looking for a solution, even within an obvious failure framework).

In any case, thank you staticn0de

Hi there Quest,

You don't have to use that driver version. That is just what is in the wheezy backports repo.

I have not tried a newer version on Kali (I've used 337 on Ubuntu with bumblebee - that had its own issues)

To install a newer version, you will need to add the Jessie or Sid repo.

Jessie is the testing repo and has the 337.19-1 driver under the name nvidia-driver or the transitional package Nvidia-glx.

Sid is the unstable repo and has nvidia 331.79-1 under the same names as that above.

These should work if you want to try them. I'm sure you understand how easily you can break Kali with unsupported repos (wheezy backports is not much better I'm sure)

For those interested, much to my amazement I was able to get Nvidia 340.24 working on Kali

root@kali:/proc/driver/nvidia# cat version
NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 340.24 Wed Jul 2 14:24:20 PDT 2014
GCC version: gcc version 4.7.2 (Debian 4.7.2-5)

It was a bit of an "unclean" install as I kind of had to force it on there, but glxspheres64 and optirun is working. I'll try and get CUDA 6 working and keep you posted. If I get it, i'll clean up the process and post that too.

Edit:

It's looking promising!

deviceQuery, CUDA Driver = CUDART, CUDA Driver Version = 6.5, CUDA Runtime Version = 6.0, NumDevs = 1, Device0 = GeForce GT 740M
Result = PASS

**London** · 2014-07-11

staticn0de, thankyou for the work that went into this write up. It worked really well. I did have one issue but solved it here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/bumblebee

**Quest** · 2014-07-11

that's cool

even though most can figure it out for themselves, I was thinking that maybe(?) it would be nice to have all the command lines, and links to, an OFF_LINE installation. There's nothing wrong with this procedure as is, but we already DLing CUDA (and now probly new NVIDIA drivers), so maybe DL everything and than install?

I'm not a big fan of being dependent on the Internet for installations, for one, and I've had my connexion cut or network manager shut down my connexion while fallowing this guide more than once. Nothing bad happened as a result, but it made me think that I'd be better off-line.

So without changing this guide(because it works beautifully), an 'off-Line Annex' would be appreciated. Just a link in the first post pointing to another post with the command lines/links to firstly DL everything and then the command lines to install from Home *if I have everything I need in Home maybe the whole installation can be scripted hmmm [evil laugh]* Just saying.

Hmmm I like the idea, it would save some effort. My concern is that bumblebee is a decent effort to compile and then install. That, and it has dependencies. And those dependencies have dependencies.Trying to install all them without a repo would be a pain.

On another note, if you can't go to the mountain, you can always bring the mountain to you. You could host your own repo on your local network. I've looked into it but Kali looks after it a little different to other distros where you can just clone them with rsync. If you had a local repo, you won't need the internet anymore. This clearly isn't the solution for everyone....

In short, I don't really have the time (and maybe not the skill!) to document the requirements for this as an offline install. Although, I'm about to type up the CUDA6 and NVIDIA 340.24 version and with the exception of bumblebee (not bumblebee-nvidia) it is an offline install. It's easier to install than what I already wrote as it does not need manual modifications to nvidia-uvm.ko.

**staticn0de** · 2014-07-13

The following will install the latest at the time (340.24) NVIDIA driver and latest CUDA (version 6) on Kali with
Bumblebee for Optimus laptops. Usual notes about clean installs and selecting either 32bit or 64bit depending on your
needs from the first page still apply.

First, update and upgrade Kali to latest
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade

Download VirtualGL
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pro...se_mirror=ufpr

Download CUDA (this is V6 64bit)
http://developer.download.nvidia.com...7_linux_64.run

Download the nvidia*.run driver. Follow the bouncing ball to get what you need for your hardware
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

Install VirtualGL
cd ~
dpkg -i virtualgl*.deb

Add the path for VirtualGL to .bashrc
nano ~/.bashrc
Add a line somewhere near the top that reads:
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/VirtualGL/bin

Export the path so we don't have to log out and in. Run the following from terminal
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/VirtualGL/bin

Install the linux headers
apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Some dependencies for CUDA later
apt-get install freeglut3-dev libxmu-dev

Add the wheezy backports Repo (yes, still needed for bumblebee but not the NVIDIA driver)
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Add the following line to the file and then save
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy-backports main contrib non-free
apt-get update

Install bumblebee (not bumblebee-nvidia)
apt-get install bumblebee primus

Edit the bumblebee.conf file
nano /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf

Change line 22 so it reads:
Driver=nvidia

We do not need to edit line 55 as the module the nvidia installer will build is called nvidia and not nvidia-current.

Save and close.

Run the following and record your PCI address for your video card. It will look similar to 03:00.0
lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D'

Edit xorg.conf.nvidia and add a line under the 'Section "Device"' area so that is matches what is shown below. Change the bus ID to match what you recorded previously and take note that you recored a . before the last number and it is now a ':'. You need the ':'.
Section "Device"
Identifier "DiscreteNvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BusID "PCI:03:00:0"

Change NVIDIA installer permissions
cd ~
chmod +x NVIDIA*.run

You now need to close gdm3 because it can't be running for the driver install. Record what you need now. If you don't get a login screen when you close gdm3, press control + alt + F1
/etc/init.d/gdm3 stop

Now the install
cd ~
./NVIDIA*.run --dkms -z

Accept the EULA
Select yes to register the kernel module with DKMS
No to libs (unless you want them)
Ok to acknowledge the website libs
The install will take place
Do not run X-Config. Select NO.
The installer will close.

Restart kali with
shutdown -r now

When rebooted, run optirun glxspheres64 and confirm it's working. A 'modinfo nvidia' will show that you now have the 340.24 module loaded.

To install CUDA, chmod the installer first
cd ~
chmod +x cuda*.run

And now to install
./cuda*.run

Accept the EULA
Select yes to unsupporrted configuration
No to graphics driver
Yes to the toolkit
Accept default location
Yes to symbolic link
Yes to samples
Yes to default samples location
The toolkit will install

For the path, we will add a little more to what we defined for VirtualGL. It should look like this in your bashrc file
nano ~./bashrc
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/VirtualGL/bin:/usr/local/cuda-6.0/bin

Run the following so we don't have to log out
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/VirtualGL/bin:/usr/local/cuda-6.0/bin

Edit the following file so the contents match those shown below
nano /etc/ld.so.conf

Code:

include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
/usr/local/cuda-6.0/lib64

Save and close

Run:
ldconfig

Build the nvidia samples

cd /root/NVIDIA_CUDA-6.0_Samples
make

Follow the steps from the second post to run the CUDA deviceQuery script and you should see pass.

Remember to remove or comment out the wheezy backports repo

Hi Static,

first things first: Sorry for my english, im German ^^

thx a lot for your How-To!

I have a Lenovo Y500 Ideapad with 2 GT650m SLI, 16GB RAM, Intel i7.
I have several Problems getting my GPU's to run properly with the Nvidia Driver.
Is there any way you can help me - i mean to chat with you over Whatsapp or something like that, sendind you Images from my Screen and having a real time help?
I am willing to pay for your efforts.

As I checked my Hardware in Windows there are only the both Nvidia GPU's listed, no Intel onboard GPU.
The Cards support Optimus technology, following the Nvidia Website, but do i really need Optimus, if there is no Intel onboard GPU?

Following your How-To step by step i get stuck after editing the Bumblebee .conf, i added both BusID's of the GPU's and the SLI Option

Section "Device"
Identifier "DiscreteNvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BusID "PCI:01:00:0"
BusID "PCI:02:00:0"
and activating the SLI in the Options.

After restarting bumblebee and stopping the GDM3 Service i get a black Screen with blinking cursor -> no way to get to TTY1 with "ALT CTRL F1", nor any other Hotkeys working.
I worked around that booting in the Recovery Mode in Console.

In Recovery mode its no Problem stopping the GDM3 and installing Nvidia.
After rebooting i tried the optirun glxspheres64 -> Error.

I also tried an other How-To without Bumblebee:
http://www.blackmoreops.com/2014/03/...er-kali-linux/

-> eveything worked fine (yeah, i edited the Xorg.conf with both BusID's and SLI and MultiGPU Option) until step 6
In booting process after the boot information "GDM3 start", my screens gets Black, flashing one time for a second, getting black again, then both GT650m's Fans getting full thrust (airflow getting very hot) and after 30 secs or something the Laptopn shuts down - no way to get to TTY1 or anything -> no way to have any influence after the GDM3 starts.

After reading many many Hours in Forums, HOW-To's, the Nvidia Support section, and the official Nvidia Documentation i have no Clue what to do.

Would be nice to get an answer from You.

Hi there,

I don't have SLI in my laptop so this is not somehting I have worked with. Another forum member had issues with SLI and I replied with some information I found and they never came back, it was either very useful or not useful at all so give it a try.

First, post the output of the following so I can tell you if you need optimus at all

Code:

lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D'

This is the post I replied about SLI

https://forums.kali.org/showthread.p...ll=1#post35604

If you don't have the onboard intel you do not need optimus. If it's just enabling SLI, it should be as *easy* as installing NVIDIA, enabling SLI in XORG and rebooting. Lets see how we go.

If you don't need optimus and installed bumblebee, it would do an awesome job at killing your graphics.

staticn0de, thank you for the write-up!

I did everything succesfully and the tests worked, but I'm unsure about a few things.
1. If the nVidia driver automatically removes nouveau then why is there a xorg.conf.nouveau file in the /etc/bumblebee directory?
2. How can I make sure the nVidia driver is the default driver at startup?
3. Lastly, when I lsmod | grep nvidia there is no output, when I lsmod | grep nouveau there is also no output. Shouldn't at least one of them show something?

Hi there, don't mistake my guide as making me an expert on bumblebee, but i'll try and answer your question.

1. The nvidia driver does not remove nouveau, bumblebee changes between the graphics card which includes disabling one driver and enabling the nvidia driver. Both remain on the system. The xorg.conf.nouveau does not matter as it is only called if you set driver=nouveau in the bumblebee.conf file.

2. You don't set nvidia to start at start up. The reason bumblebee is used is so you can benefit from the power saving of having the intel card in use when the graphics card is not needed. When you use optirun glxspheres64 (for example) the nvidia card is enabled which uses more power so that the graphicly demanding application has a performance boost.

3. Unless you have used optirun, the nvidia modules will not be loaded. For example, run the command lsmod | grep -i nvidia and you will receive nothing. Run optirun glxspheres64 and while it is running use lsmod | grep -i nvidia and it will display the nvidia modules are the driver has loaded to use the discrete card.

**London** · 2014-07-12

Thank you! that really brings it all together for me. I usually have to run the optispheres64 command twice before it works, but everything is working perfectly other than that. Really appreciate it!

Hi Quest,

I'm happy to hear that. I'll update the first post so others know the newer drivers may work in lieu of the old.

Thanks for posting to let everyone know it worked for you.

Install VirtualGL
cd ~

dpkg -i virtualgl*.deb

Add the path for VirtualGL to .bashrc

nano ~/.bashrc

Add a line somewhere at the top that reads:
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/VirtualGL/bin

Save the file(Ctrl+x, then Y, then Enter)

Export the path so we don't have to log out and in.

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/VirtualGL/bin

Install the linux headers

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

Some dependencies for CUDA for later

apt-get install freeglut3-dev libxmu-dev

Add the wheezy backports Repo (yes, still needed for bumblebee but not the NVIDIA driver)
Go to Computer > File System > etc > apt > souces.list, and open it with Leafpad, and add the following line to the file and then save.
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy-backports main contrib non-free

apt-get update

Install bumblebee (not bumblebee-nvidia)

apt-get install bumblebee primus

Edit the bumblebee.conf file

nano /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf

Change line 22 so it reads:
Driver=nvidia

Run the following and record your PCI address for your video card. It will look similar to 03:00.0 (yours might be different)

lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D'

Edit xorg.conf.nvidia

nano /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia

add a line under the 'Section "Device"' area so that is matches what is shown below. Change the bus ID to match what you recorded previously and take note that you recored a . before the last number and it is now a ':'. You need the ':'.

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

Restart bumblebee with the following and ignore any ERROR/FAIL warnings

/etc/init.d/bumblebeed restart

Change NVIDIA installer permissions
cd ~

chmod +x NVIDIA*.run

You now need to close gdm3 because it can't be running for the driver install.
Record what you need now. If you don't get a login screen when you close gdm3, press control + alt + F1

/etc/init.d/gdm3 stop

Now the NVIDIA install
cd ~

./NVIDIA*.run --dkms -z

-Accept the EULA
-Select yes to register the kernel module with DKMS
-No to libs (unless you want them)
-Ok to acknowledge the website libs
The install will take place...
-Do not run X-Config. Select NO.
The installer will close.

Restart kali with

shutdown -r now

or Ctrl+Alt+Del

When rebooted, run

optirun glxspheres64

A 'modinfo nvidia' will show that you now have the 340.24 module loaded.

modinfo nvidia

To install CUDA, chmod the installer first
cd ~

chmod +x cuda*.run

And now to install CUDA

./cuda*.run

-Accept the EULA (Tab then, accept)
-Select yes to unsupported configuration
-No to graphics driver
-Yes to the toolkit
-Accept default location (press Enter only)
-Yes to symbolic link
-Yes to samples
-Yes to default samples location (press Enter only)
The toolkit will install...

For the path, we will add a little more to what we defined for VirtualGL earlier.

nano ~/.bashrc

It should look like this in your bashrc file
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/VirtualGL/bin:/usr/local/cuda-6.0/bin

Run the following so we don't have to log out

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/VirtualGL/bin:/usr/local/cuda-6.0/bin

Edit the following file so the contents match those shown below

nano /etc/ld.so.conf

Contents:
include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
add /usr/local/cuda-6.0/lib64

Save and close

Run

ldconfig

Build the nvidia samples

cd /root/NVIDIA_CUDA-6.0_Samples

make

cd 1_Utilities/deviceQuery

optirun ./deviceQuery

You should see Result = PASS!

Now, I know you want to see it in action so the next part we'll install Pyrit.

First, remove the Wheezy repo.
You may either comment out the line we added or delete it.
Computer > File System > etc > apt > souces.list,
Save the file.

apt-get update

Checkout Pyrit

svn checkout http://pyrit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ pyrit_svn

Install required libraries and add CUDA support

apt-get install libpcap-dev

cd pyrit_svn/pyrit/

python setup.py build

python setup.py install

cd ../cpyrit_cuda/

python setup.py build

python setup.py install

Now, what we have been waiting for this entire time. Lets see it work.

optirun pyrit benchmark

as a side note, after all this my Kali installation went from a little less then 8Gb to 11Gb. Interesting...

Hi,
I have the following problem: when I enter this last command optirun glxspheres64, my screen goes totally black and my nvidia vgas start to run on full speed (vents go on full throttle) and after 20s my laptop shuts down. I suppose my hardware causes the peoblem, I have 3VGAs: the integrated intel hd4400, and 2 nvidia gt750M. I don't want to use SLI, I only want to use one VGA which makes me able to change the kali's resolution to fullhd.

Hi there,

I've been doing some reading on SLI (I have just about the cheapest laptop I could buy so I don't have it) and it requires a little extra configuration in the /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia file.

So, when you run the command:

Code:

lspci | grep VGA

You should see two nvidia cards with two BusID. You will need to configure both within the /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia file.

So, within that file, add those BusIDs under the Device section. After that, you need to find the section which includes a bunch of "Option" settings (bottom of the file). Add a new line with:

Code:

Option "SLI" "AA"

Read more about it here, it's writen for arch but the config files are the same. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php...A#Enabling_SLI

Did you use the latest Nvidia 340 drivers or did you install the ones from the first post? If you tried the first post, try the latest drivers.
