I will not edit sources.list again (as has been recommended by some) to include bleeding edge repos as this has already forced my third reinstall now! Really, why not just include the headers and Nvidia drivers with the standard sources??? Has anyone managed to get this working???
Here are my sources
Code:
#
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2.0 _Sana_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20150811-08:02]/ sana contrib main non-free
#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2.0 _Sana_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20150811-08:02]/ sana contrib main non-free
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security/ sana/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security/ sana/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main contrib non-free
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free
Then you want to install kernal headers, in this order.
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install -f
apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r)"
Then chnod the file
Code:
sudo chmod +x yourdriver.run
Now lets close the X session
Then do a ctrl + alt + f2. You need to know where the driver install file is (.run)
Go to the directory of the driver,
sudo ./driverfile.run
Complete the install
If for some reason you need to boot back into X for some googling of whatever,
press ctrl+D
Then alt+F7
I dont think I missed anything! Let us know if you get stuck!
