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

[Quest]

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

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

bbswitch-dkms
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy-b.../bbswitch-dkms

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

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;

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.

cd pyrit_svn/pyrit/

python setup.py build

python setup.py install

cd ../cpyrit_cuda/

python setup.py build

python setup.py install

Total: 11 packs. 2,05 Mb

Great guide staticn0de!

Everyting worked well, until...




my output was


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
