    @Hun75m4n,

    Nothing wrong with using Kali as the primary OS.

    Installing other applications is not normally the problem. Its all about how much you install from non-official repos as they will break you install very quickly.

    Now, the file you are after is found in the bumblebee directory

    Code:
    root@kali /etc/bumblebee$ ls                                                   
    bumblebee.conf  xorg.conf.d  xorg.conf.nouveau  xorg.conf.nvidia
    The two files you modify as part of my guide are bumbelbee.conf and xorg.conf.nvidia.

    If you don't have this folder, you have not installed bumblebee yet. You need to add the debian repo listed in the guide and run apt-get update and then install bumblebee.

    Now you have the correct file, keep following the guide and make the modifications listend. If you still can't get it to work, let me know.
    chown -R us ./base

    NVIDIA will not install correctly

    @staticn0de

    Thanks for pointing out the files, apprantly I don't know how to use the command 'locate'.
    I have completed the install now, without error. I guess maybe I am not in the know for how NVIDIA Gforce is used. Under Applications -> System Tools -> Preferences -> NVIDIA X server settings I have the below error.

    Code:
    You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
    Applications -> System Tools -> Preferences -> Systems Settings -> Details -> Graphics (there is no driver listed and Experience states "Fallback)

    Applications -> Programming -> Nvidia Visual Profiler (not sure what this is all about, it appears to be a web page)

    I guess I am confused as to what getting the NVIDIA drivers installed correctly was supposed to accomplish.

    The reason it is giving you an NVIDIA X driver error is because it's not loaded (the driver) unless you call it with optirun. This is a power saving feature and the entire reason we install bumblebee.

    try the command below:

    Code:
     
    optirun glxspheres64
    You should see a pretty window appear and terminal will be printing some FPS for you. That means the driver install worked.

    If you want to use the NVIDIA card (such as in a graphics demanding application), prefix the command with optirun.

    Say I wanted to run cudahashcat i would use the command

    Code:
     
    optirun cudahashcat
    chown -R us ./base

    Bumblebee install errors

    Hi everyone. Please help. I followed the guide from post 25 step by step till Cuda install, everything works well, no error but when i try to see if it works what have I done with optirun glxspheres64, i got 2 errors

    [ 1465.806859] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) No devices detected.

    [ 1465.806942] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.

    and for primusrun glxgears
    Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
    Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual

    In xorg.conf.nvidia I have:

    Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "Layout0"
    Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
    Option "AutoAddGPU" "false"
    EndSection

    Section "Device"
    Identifier "DiscreteNvidia"
    Driver "nvidia"
    VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
    BusID "PCI:01:00.0"
    Option "NoLogo" "true"
    Option "UseEDID" "false"
    Option "UseDisplayDevice" "none"
    EndSection

    in bumblebee.conf i changed only line 22 "Driver=nvidia"

    lspci | grep 3D comand give me as a result 01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1292 (rev a1)

    I use Nvidia 740M in an asus laptop, I just installed kali and updated&upgraded without any error after I tried to install from first post and I got
    root@kali:~# modprobe nvidia-uvm
    ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia_uvm': No such device but optirun glxspheres64 it worked that time.
    but that time i installed and uninstalled too many times and I haven't any ideea how to solve and it was too much mess around.
    Any help appreciated. Thank you in advance

    @2code

    Edit xorg.conf.nvidia and adjust the line:

    BusID "PCI:01:00.0"

    To read

    BusID "PCI:01:00:0"

    And restart bumblebeed

    seriously they have not wrapped up a cudahashcat package yet http://git.kali.org/gitweb/?a=project_list;pf=packages , so many thanks for that .deb and this howto bro. I'd still be without my nVidia under linux without this tut. We(nVidia users) all appreciate that guide you've created here. Not that many have the knowledge and willing to help.

    Cheers static!

    You actually reminded me that I have been meaning to repackage the new cudahashcat 1.31. So, I went and did that. I've also changed the host because mirror creator is awful and should feel awful.

    Install with:
    Code:
    dpkg -i cudahashcat-1.31.deb
    In the future, if you want to remove it:
    Code:
    dpkg -r cudahashcat-1.31
    If you want to make sure its completely removed, check the following and remove them:
    Code:
    /usr/bin/cudahashcat32
    /usr/bin/cudahashcat64
    /usr/share/cudahashcat
    If you need to remove my old deb, run the following. Check the listings in the code block above to make sure they were removed:
    Code:
    dpkg -r cudahashcat-1.30
    Sums for cudahashcat-1.31.deb:
    Code:
    md5sum = b753c393264b3c40e51f057a96f3f6e9 
    sha1sum = f4abc533f4ced0f7e9a82255ceecf0333c212fa2
    When installed, test with the following:
    Code:
    optirun cudahashcat64 -t 32 -a 7 example0.hash ?a?a?a?a example.dict
    The file is 475MB

    I really like MEGA over mirror creator. Thx for that new cudahashcat 1.31 deb!

    I will wait for KL 1.1.0 to install it, as will have to reinstall everything when it comes out. Tomorrow(5) me thinks.

    Thank you very much staticn0de, your advice took me in the right direction and I ran optirun glxspheres64 whitout problems. But I got another error after I've installed cuda_6.0.37_linux_64 when i have run ./deviceQuery, i got

    cudaGetDeviceCount returned 38

    I read on a forum that is possible to have a version mismatch between installed nvidia kernel module and libcuda1 library but I don't know if is the case and how to solve it.

    Thank you for help.

    After you run ./deviceQuery, capture the tail of the dmesg command and post it here

    Edit: did you run optirun. /deviceQuery or just

    ./deviceQuery?

    It needs the optirun prefix

    Thank you staticn0de. Unfortunatelly before I read your message I tried to uninstall nvidia driver, everything looks ok at the first sight but unfortunatelly when i tried to install it again, i got an error like I have a nvidia driver installed and I don't know how to uninstall, here are some message which i got.

    And nvidia-installer.log content:
    License accepted.
    -> Installing NVIDIA driver version 340.65.
    -> The NVIDIA driver appears to have been installed previously using a different installer. To prevent potential conflicts, it is recommended either to update the existing installation using the same mechanism by which it was originally installed, or to uninstall the existing installation before installing this driver.
    Please review the message provided by the maintainer of this alternate installation method and decide how to proceed:
    Please use the Debian packages instead of the .run file.

    (Answer: Abort installation)
    ERROR: The installation was canceled due to the availability or presence of an alternate driver installation. Please see /var/log/nvidia-installer.log for more details.

    I used NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.65.run and when i tried to install i used the same method.

    To uninstall, just use the --uninstall flag on the installer you used.

    Make sure you clean up bumblebee and primus too. The command below should work but make sure you read about what you're doing first.

    apt-get purge bumblebee* primus* nvidia-*

    and start again
    chown -R us ./base

    Hi and many thanks for your help but I do again something wrong, this time looks like nvidia driver doesn't load. I uninstall everything and install and configure everything again till cuda. I took some messages after:

    No other chance than install again, or can I do something to get loaded nvidia ?

    Hey guys! Exciting news about nvidia optimus in 1.1.

    Bad news is, I've just moved house and won't have internet for up to 20 days. I can't test it!

    If someone else can have a go, be sure to post back

    I'm using VMware® Workstation v7.0.1 build-227600, I've installed it on my Win8.1 x64
    I've installed Kali Linux 9.10 on VMware

    Whenever I've posted lspci | grep VGA in Linux Terminal the following info has showed :
    00:0f.0 VGA compatible controller: VMware SVGA II Adapter
    Is it possible to install Video Card Driver in Linux this situation ?
    i havet instal linux from vmware with tools bat a cannt see nvidia hardwer

    This whole installation is about 3Gb. So at 1,3Mb, If one will go trough the circus of installing the whole shlabang, then I think the answer is 'so that everything will work if ever called upon from an application'?

    Hi blackMORE and thanks for the updated guide over at http://www.blackmoreops.com

    Maybe you can give me an answer to my question?

    The new release runs a 3.18 kernel, patched for wireless injection attacks.
    Our ISO build systems are now running off live-build 4.x.
    Improved wireless driver support, due to both kernel and firmware upgrades.
    NVIDIA Optimus hardware support.
    Updated virtualbox-tool, openvm-tools and vmware-tools packages and instructions.
    A whole bunch of fixes and updates from our bug-tracker changelog.
    And most importantly, we changed grub screens and wallpapers!
    What does the above mean exactly? This installation worked with previous version of Kali, and now we still have to install everything, so what is different with 1.1.0?

    Cheers!

    All it means that now Optimus driver's should work directly from Repo. So more pretty desktops.
    It doesn't say if cudahashcat issue been fixed. The bug report I raised for cudahashcat is still open, with normal priority and minor severity.

    IMPORTANT

    must add some repos in, File System/etc/apt/sources.list (Thanks blackMORE).
    Code:
    ## Regular repositories
    deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib
    deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free
    ## Source repositories
    deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib
    deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free
    Then..
    Code:
    apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade
    before Installing the Linux headers, or it won't work. Returns
    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'
    I'm installing now and will edit this post if something else comes up.


    EDIT: The following lines will have to be modified if using CUDA 6.5 from this howto..

    For the path, we will add a little more to what we defined for VirtualGL earlier. It should look like this in your bashrc file
    nano ~/.bashrc
    export PATH=$PATH:/opt/VirtualGL/bin:/usr/local/cuda-6.5/bin
    Run the following so we don't have to log out
    export PATH=$PATH:/opt/VirtualGL/bin:/usr/local/cuda-6.5/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-6.5/lib64
    Save and close
    Run
    ldconfig
    Build the nVidia samples
    cd /root/NVIDIA_CUDA-6.5_Samples
    make


    Everything worked well as before, with all the latest versions, CUDA 6.5.14, VirtualGL 2.4, nVidia 346.35, CudaHashcat 1.31.

    ..will post the links later. Thanks guys!!

    Hello everyone, I'm having trouble getting my nvidia drivers to work. I have a laptop with 2 gt 750m graphics card with SLI. In addition i'm running the latest kali linux 1.1.0 kernel 3.18. I have tried the post by blackMORE but ended with gdm3 not working after setting up the xorg.conf file. So I decided to follow this guide but I encountered an error. The error comes up while trying to install the official nvidia drivers. When I run the installer it gives me an error "unable to load kernel module" this is the full log.

    I tried to install with and without the lines that Quest suggested but the same thing shows up. Any ideas?

    I'm not sure what's wrong.

    Most of us don't have SLI, so that is a problem, but https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/board/98/linux/ that board might be useful.

    Let me just understand something with your first post..

    Are you saying that you could install your nVidia drivers with blackMORE tut? If so, did you do a fresh Kali install before following this guide? Just making sure here.

    Once again thanks for the help Quest. Now regarding the SLI configuration, I don't think that's what's causing the problem as the second graphics card is removable and not soldered into the main board as the primary is. As to your question I did make a fresh installation of Kali before trying this guide. I have actually reinstalled Kali multiple times to try this method (and others) several times without luck. I usually end up with gdm3 not working or the driver not installing. In addition, I have also followed the tutorial using the two graphics cards listed - separately and together. I'm not sure as to what is causing the problem.

    Static, since things have changed a little since the first post, maybe do a re-write of that first post? If you could incorporate the howto above(fix broken Intel driver from bahha) so that ppl can use gdm3? Just thinking.

    Hey quest,

    Yeah mate, this thread is a mess. I'll start a rewrite tonight and try to get it done soon.

    Edit: people can't use gdm3? I didn't notice it was broken.

    That is a good idea, but the problem is that I can't install the NVIDIA drivers at all. The first error I get occurs after I run:

    ./NVIDIA*.run --dkms -z

    So the NVIDIA driver never gets properly installed. Maybe if I use blackMORE's tutorial and then the fix you provided, there might be a possibility, but the fix is specific for this tutorial. I guess I have to keep looking.

    Hey Guys, I have followed the tutorial but am still having a problem getting things to work with my GeForce GT 650M. After following the directions and rebooting after step 14 I lost my GUI. I still had access to the console via Alt+F1 so I continued to finish via console through step 21. I can't seem to restore my GUI and step 21 comes back with errors.

    It doesn't look like the logs are going to fit so I threw it in PastBin: http://pastebin.com/6g8Hiy8k

    This guide and all graphics card related processing will not work under any circumstance with vmware, virtual box or any other virtualisation based set up.

    Install bare metal if you want it to work, try dual boot.

    Hey guys,

    This built in support for Nvidia + Optimus looks repo based.

    I've noticed that you do not need to add the debian wheezy repo anymore in order to install bumbelbee and primus. The latest versions are already within the kali repo.

    Doesn't work anymore. Driver won't install. It was working earlier this week. I did a bunch of benchmark under 1.1.0. Weird.

    I guess will have to wait until nVidia makes another driver that supports kernel 3.18, or for Static to pull another rabbit out to save us all, again.

    For those who have it working don't do any updates.
    2015. Welcome to the Flintstones.



    @Static, found a typo in post #1 step 7 (not that it matters at this point).
    Code:
    root@kali:~# nano ~./bashrc
    root@kali:~# nano ~/.bashrc


    - Missing a step between 12 and 13?

    From the first version...
    Restart bumblebee with the following and ignore any ERROR/FAIL warnings
    Code:
    /etc/init.d/bumblebeed restart

    Hey Quest,

    Thanks for picking up those typos. I've gone and fixed them now.

    Edit: Also, I just saw that hashcat 1.33 is out now. I'll make a new deb today and upload it for anyone interested. It's a shame it has not been put in the repo yet. That, and the repo has 1.31 for oclhashcat (amd).

    Hey mate,

    No. That is not needed.

    I had no problems at all installing anything using the steps of the first page. I even installed the headers you had to leave out.

    I'm curious, the latest version of the driver prompts users to run NVIDIA-XCONFIG. Did you happen to run it? or others who had a black screen may have. That command kills bumblebee.

    Great!

    There's a bug in 1.33 http://hashcat.net/forum/thread-4085-page-2.html but it only affect PDF password cracking.

    Ahh. That's a pain. I've already packed it and started an upload.

    I'll start again lol. I'll build the fix into the deb.

    and your .deb is superior to the source itself as it is contains the patch. I just find the whole thing quite bizarre. Not your service to the community, but the saga.

    Will install everything later, minus the added repos to see if it 1. accepts the headers and 2. if the nVidia driver install with the headers. I could not do both since 1.1.0 came out.

    I will also attempt to install everything off-line. If it works I will post all DL links.

    Cheers Static!

    I'm doing some experimenting to get the Intel 3D acceleration to work after this install, and no luck so far.

    The nVidia driver and the glx-alternative-mesa_0.5.1 cannot coexist. One wants to uninstall the other. Ah well

    Cool thank you

    That 1.33 seems to be a great version. Alot of work was done.

    This version 1.33 is the finalized version of what v1.32 should have been.

    There's not much to see from the changelog but there was a ton of changes in the inner working which make this release is really a good one.

    **** no, I did that only once by mistake and yup, black screen.

    I did try to install numerous time yesterday with the headers, it was not working, when it was working before. I tell ya this is weird.

    And had similar issues earlier this week where the header would not install. Had to add some repos for it to work. I will reinstall everything(for the 15th time) again with your new cudaHashcat .deb, and I will remove those repos just to see.

    Btw it was not the updates that was causing my problems(like I thought before) but only the header.

    I had a look at a couple of repos last night. Out of the 10 I looked at, only two were current (this is for the kali-security repo).

    That could cause some serious problems if your geo-location is connecting you to an out-of-date repo. Maybe that has something to do with it.
