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

Edit: Sorted in previous post


I just ran an apt-get upgrade and received the same:

Setting up syslinux-common (3:6.03~pre1+dfsg-1kali3) ...

extlinux
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Seems like the repo has bad packages

apt-get autoremove cleared the issue but it still not resolve the bumblebee problem. I have now the following problems:

After stoping gdm3 I receive the following error messages non stop:
[ 835.063840] ata6.00: status: { DRDY }
[ 835.638286] ata6.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0
[ 835.736372] ata6.00: irq_stat 0x40000001

[ 837.036379] ata6.00: status: { DRDY }
And so on and so on

I have rebooted the laptop and install nVidia driver in recovery mode after install and reboot i have issued the command: optirun glxspheres64 and receive the following error:
[ 42.235078] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: Could not load GPU driver
[ 42.235176] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled

Do You have any ideas whats the case ?
Thank You so much for Your help.

Few things,

That may be a hard drive error. Check your hard drive smart stats and run a test.

Otherwise, did bumblebee install correctly?

I'll need some information. Post the results of the following commands

uname -r

cat /etc/modprobe.d/bumblebee.conf

Run optirun glxspheres64 and then run

dmesg

lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D'

What version of Kali are you using?

Are you 32bit or 64bit?

The important part is you have this in your /etc/modprobe.d/bumblebee.conf file
