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

[Quest]

so needless to say that I reverted back to 1.31


... in other X-files news ...

- I still have to populate my sources.list file with official repos, to install the headers, or I get this

root@kali:~# apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-3.18.0-kali1-amd64
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-3.18.0-kali1-amd64'

- but when installed, the NVIDIA driver stops halfway with the message "unable to load kernel modules".

... the good news...

I will edit post#4 https://forums.kali.org/showthread.p...ll=1#post35270 with a mini howtoo do a OFF-Line installation with all links to the packages.

Good call on reverting. I still haven't tested it.

I suffer huge losses in speed with the newer CUDA myself, not so much anything else.

You must have an out of date repo. The headers install fine for me, without them it is no surprise that your modules won't build.

Go over to the Kali Linux mirror list and manually point at one which had the headers in it. I went looking and found one (I have my own local repo I use) so I often search for the up to date ones to mirror.
