Hello everyone, Im new to linux. I just started the Ethical Hacking course at school and installed Kali Linux on a dual boot on Windows 7. I have an AMD 8320 CPU and a GTX 970 and 16G of RAM. I have tried the way post on the Documentaion on this site. I have also tried http://www.blackmoreops.com/2014/06/...nvidia-driver/. Nothing has worked. I get a black screen or the command inputs are not recognized. Can someone please help me. This display is killing me, lol Thanks!!!

The drivers from the repo that the BMO guide will have you install are too old for your modern card.Originally Posted by slaychild
Either install the NVIDIA drivers which you can download from the NVIDIA website or add the Debian experimental repo and install from there.
You need the 343.36 version or newer. (=<340 does not support the 970)

I tryed this. http://linuxg.net/how-to-install-nvi...linux-systems/

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm3 stop
Edit: you don't need the sudo cause your already root but I've been playing in debian all day..

OK Thanks, now another is has come up. After I put in /etc/init.d/gdm3 stop. I got the black screen. I pressed CRTL ALT F1 and logged back in to the root. I enter this command. ./NVIDIA-Linux-*-346.47.run I received an accept message. I hit OK. Then I got this message.
ERROR: Unable to find kernel source tree for the currently running kernel. Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel and that they are properly configured; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the 'kernel-source' or 'kernel-devel' RPM installed. If you know the correct kernel source files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the '--kernel-source-path' command line option.
What can I do now??

apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
This is some pretty basic stuff. Make sure you have a go yourself at researching these errors before asking for help. You will learn a lot more.
chown -R us ./base

Thank you so much. It worked!!!!
For anyone who was having the same issue, this is what I did.
wget us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/346.47/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-346.47.run
apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-*-346.47.run
/etc/init.d/gdm3 stop
Then got the black screen. Press CTRL ALT F1
Log back in as root and then input
./NVIDIA-Linux-*-346.47.run
Just select ok on all screens. Once done. type REBOOT.
All done. Thanks again for the help

As shown in the previous reply:
/etc/init.d/gdm3 stop
Junior Member
The quick and dirty solution is to install kernel headers: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
Then ctrl-alt-f1.
sudo service gdm3 stop.
For the drivers, get the cuda-7.0 toolkit from nvidia, see my post on hashcat for the link.
./NV... .run
Follow the steps, don't build DKMS and DO NOT run nvidia-xconfig.
reboot, and lsmod | nouveau which should be blank, lsmod | nvidia which should show results. If not, modprobe nvidia.
You might need bumblebee and to enable ACPI so that cpyrit and cudahashcat can enable the card in discrete mode for their own purposes.
Edit:
If you get a black screen with a cursor in the upper left hand of the screen, ctrl-alt-f1 and rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
