Why can not I successfully run nvidia-settings?

ERROR: nvidia-settings could not find the registry key file. This file should have been
installed along with this driver at
/usr/share/nvidia/nvidia-application-profiles-key-documentation. The application
profiles will continue to work, but values cannot be preopulated or validated, and will
not be listed in the help text. Please see the README for possible values and
descriptions.

I have not created xorg-conf files in the directory X11. Best regards and thank you in advance for your reply.

Hello, I have two questions. Why do I have such a poor record on this card?



Why can not I successfully run nvidia-settings?



I have not created xorg-conf files in the directory X11. Best regards and thank you in advance for your reply.

First question:
Your poor performance is because you have a middle of the range laptop graphics card. It can't compete with middle or high range desktop cards It's also about 4 years old.

Second question:
It's a bug in the driver.

Hey there,

I was able to reproduce this and am working on a fix.

I reproduced it through a manual loading and uploading of the driver. I'll let you know how I go.

Hello, i have install new driver (from 4 april 2015), but after check "optirun glxspheres64" got this message:
"ERROR: ld.so: object 'libdlfaker.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored."

But two weeks ago, its works fine, maybe it depends on new drivers?

FIXED wait until moderator post my new message, thanks

[snofi]

Sorry, double reply.. I thought it did not go. Regards.

[SuperMan]

Hello. I found the solution for my error: "after install nvidia driver and trying optirun glxspheres64 got: ERROR: ld.so: object 'libdlfaker.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored."
This error only on 64bit. Becouse if you try to open virtualgl_2.4_amd64.deb with archive manager - you will got an error. I386 and other opens successful.
So how to fix:
go to virtualgl website and get newest versing - 2.4.1. Install and be happy

@necrojones,

Thanks, I appreciate the comments. I havn't had the time to reply to as many as I would like as of late but yours is an easy one.

You have a typo in /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia

Change

BusID: "PCI:03:00:0"

Hi Static! Whenever you have time for another deb it would be appreciated

This version 1.36 is a wild mix of nice updates Smile

Still, all oclHashcat versions back to 1.33 share the same driver dependencies for AMD. If you have a running oclHashcat v1.33 or newer then v1.36 will work, too, without a driver update.

Most important changes:

Added new hash mode -m 11300 = Bitcoin/Litecoin wallet.dat
Added new hash mode -m 11600 = 7-Zip
Fixed a bug in NVidia multihash kernels: MD5, NTLM, IPB2
The parameters --show / --left do work with both halves of LM hashes (if they were 32 hex chars long)
Optimized final round flushing (reduces time at last percents of progress with slower speed)
Optimized rejection handling (for example passwords > 8 if cracking DEScrypt or < 8 if cracking WPA/WPA2, etc)
The speed in status display is no longer divide by the number of uncracked salts

ps: funny how your ticket about cudahashcat never got addressed. I wonder what's up with that

WOW. I spent hours staring at that script (specifically looking at the end of that line not the begininning) and everything else, and all it was was a simple colon. Everything works perfectly now. Thank you so much again, really appreciate it.

Manny thanks!

went from 400MB with 1.35, to 200MB for 1.36


The original cudaHashcat-1.36.7z is 62,3MB. Is that possible?

I used an xz compression method with dpkg-deb this time. It took an hour to pack but had significant savings in archive size. I planned to keep changing it up until I get it closer to the original file size

Please Help Someone, I am trying to install Nvidia from last few months but what ever I try It doesn't work.
Everything goes smoth till 14th step of current tutorial on first post.

But when I test it using:

~# optirun glxspheres64

I get this error:

Are you running 32bit or 64bit Kali?

If 32bit, here is an extract from CUDA 7.0 release notes.

Support for 32-bit x86 Linux Systems
The CUDA Toolkit and CUDA Driver no longer support developing and running
CUDA and OpenCL Applications on 32-bit x86 Linux operating systems.

Note 1: Developing and running 32-bit applications on 64-bit (x86_64) Linux
operating systems is still supported, but that functionality is marked as deprecated
and may be dropped in a future release. 64-bit applications are not impacted.

Note 2: This notice applies to x86 architectures only; 32-bit application support on the
ARM architecture remains officially supported.

Maybe try installing CUDA 6.5? Otherwise, you will need to find a work around.

Hello all

I'm using Core i7 3610 QM + Geforce 670M 3GB + pyrit 1.4.0 + cudahashcat 1.3.6 + Dictionary ~ 12 GB

The interesting thing is that cudahashcat separately gives me about 22100 H/s + comfortable surfing + temperature ~ 68 C
pyrit gives about 4300 H/S + little freezing of system + temperature ~ 76-78 C

But if i install cpyrit it combines together cuda and pyrit and its performance becomes ~ 23 250 H/S + hard freezing of system + temperature ~ 80 C
So i'm loosing ~3 000 H/S and possibility to use full power of CPU for dictionary pass_through attack.

Are there any solutions how to use fully calculating power of CPU and GPU together ?


For now i found one by myself:

For example we have dictionary 1 500 000 lines/words (we see number when running cudahashcat in line "Progress ").

We know our cudahashcat speed from output info of cudahashcat and we know our pyrit speed from output info of running pyrit

Let it be 10 000 h/s and 5 000 h/s.

now we devide Number of lines in dict / (GPU h/s + CPU h/s )

1 500 000 / (10 000 + 5 000) = 100

So, working together to pass through all 1 500 000 words GPU will pass 10 000 * 100 = 1 000 000 and CPU will pass 1 500 000 - 1 000 000 = 500 000 words

Now we need to devide our word list into two parts: one will starts from word №1 and ends with word № 1 000 000 and other part will starts from the word № 500 000 to the end of file.

head -1000000 longfile.txt > GPUwordlist.txt
tail -500000 longfile.txt > CPUwordlist.txt

Now we can start at two terminals pyrit and cudahashcat and it will show us full speed without extremely freezing system and what is important they will finish together.

Hi bahha,

Thanks for replying, I did as you suggested but still same results. Could you post the procedure how'd you manage to install nvidia? I really wanted to make use of this features in my laptop. There was an instruction you posted which I couldnt follow as the original post #1 was already rewritten which you stated follow post #1 referring to install drivers from the repository.

Hey there,

I was able to reproduce this and am working on a fix.

I reproduced it through a manual loading and uploading of the driver. I'll let you know how I go.

bahha, is there any way to install the updated NVIDIA driver with CUDA 6.5 without breaking the Intel graphics card?

I'd rather do one installation instead of install/uninstall/install again.

Yes there is, The one I'm pretty sure about is to install the nvidia driver from the repository and add debian sid repository

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ sid main non-free contrib

in order to upgrade the driver to a version that supports
CUDA 6.5 and then remove the repo from source.list .

I'm not sure if the proprietary driver form nvidia website which is posted in the first page of this thread, breaks the Intel. It did break mine a while ago and I fixed it with the repo driver . and never tried it again, as
everything is working fine now .

that's what I was talking about in the above post, the driver from nvidia webiste breaks the intel driver , this thread in the beginning had the instructions for the repository driver then the OP changed it to what it is now . again what i did is remove it and install the one from the repository, first you will install the driver I can't remember the exact version but it prior to 3.4x . then add the debian sid to only upgrade the nvidia driver so it becomes compatible with CUDA 6.5 . follow my post to fix it .
scroll up in this page to see the packages I installed .

scroll up in this page to see the packages I installed .

Hi there,

I haven't had the chance to be on much of late but as for the old instructions on installing from the repo:

This replaces step 9 of the guide on the first page. I had the wheezy-back ports repo added:

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-nvidia and primus

apt-get install bumblebee-nvidia primus

Install the nvidia driver (I have a note to install it separately, but it is a dependency of bumblebee-nvidia so it should already be installed)

apt-get install nvidia-glx

Remove the wheezy-backports repo and run another apt-get update. Continue on step 10 of the guide on the first page.

Alternatively, you could add debian sid instead of wheezy-backports. It has a slightly newer nvidia-driver and bumblebee version.

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free

Thank you for clarifying staticn0de.

When I install CUDA 7, it asks if I want install OpenGL. What should I do? Yes or no?

[Cricco95]

Hi staticn0de, I followed your guide to install the NVIDIA driver but when I try to run the NVIDIA*.run file i receive the following error and the installation abort:

Uninstall Debian packages first

I installed the latest non beta version of VirtualGL, and I downloaded the latest NVIDIA card driver from the official website

Hey guys,

I just finished building Kali 2.0 from source and installing it.

Unfortunately, this guide does not work with the included gnome.

I think it's related to this bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...n/+bug/1251281

I'll give the following a the following a try when I get the chance, otherwise feel free to best me to it.

Disabling gnome 3D acceleration check
Building Kali with an alternative to gnome (XFCE is nice) from source.

yes please let us know static. Thank you... AGAIN.

so in original guide you installed nvidia-current and put nvidia-current in bumblee.conf?

yes, I also installed cuda from the repo . and everything is working fine .

Hi.
May I ask if you can post the changes you made in the original guide to install everything flawlessly?

here

apt-get install nvidia-glx
apt-get install bumblebee-nvidia primus
apt-get install nvidia-cuda-toolkit nvidia-opencl-icd

nano +22 /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf

Make it read:
Driver=nvidia-current

Save and close

then edit below to add your specific BusID
you can check your id by this coammand : lspci | egrep '3D'

nano /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia

Section "Device"
Identifier "DiscreteNvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"

I can't manage to install nvidia-glx. Basically you didn't download the nvidia-driver from their website, following the installation procedure in the OP guide, but let Terminal install it for you with "apt-get install bumblebee-nvidia primus", right?

I have the same problem. Following the OP guide, when I try to do an apt-get install nvidia-glx I receive an error and I can't install it

nvidia-glx won't install.

install this and try

apt-get install nvidia-driver

if not working add this too

apt-get install nvidia-alternative

I have both packages installed
during install if it ever asks you to configure anything ignore it .

make sure you have these source in your source.list

deb http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates main contrib non-free

After some struggling, I've finally managed to make it work. Thank you.

Can you tell me the exact steps did you do?

[Davide3i]

Can you tell me the exact steps did you do?

Sure.
In the original guide from the OP post I changed the step #9 with:

apt-get install bumblebee-nvidia primus

Then:

nano +22 /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf

Driver=nvidia-current

Finally I jumped steps #13 and #14 and decided to install the last version of CUDA (7.0.xxx), so I kept following the original guide from step #15.

Hi guys !

I eventually got it to work as well.
I'm running a Dell Laptop with 64-bits Intel Core i7 2670QM CPU, an Intel i915 GPU and a NVidia Geforce GT525M GPU card as well.
I'm using Kali 2 (with update and upgrade) and I used "bumblebee-nvidia + primus" from the repo and the CUDA 7.0.28
The weird thing is optirun won't work the 1st time I run it, but only the 2nd time and after.
With the GPU core an the 7 CPU cores, PYRIT goes up to 6k PMK/s. Not that bad after all.

If I can be of any help to anyone, please feel free to ask.
