    Kali 2016.1 Issues installing CUDA

    Hi all. Well aware of the forum rules, but I can't log into my Kali box to screenshot or copy output.

    I am running Kali 2016.1 on my laptop. On a fresh install, I make sure to apt-get update / upgrade / dist-upgrade

    Once completed, I run the linux-headers-$(uname -r) for the new linux headers

    When I'm done with all that I go for the next command on the Kali instructions on the website, which needs me to install the nvidia-kernel-dkms and then

    sed 's/quiet/quiet nouveau.modeset=0/g' -i /etc/default/grub
    update-grub
    reboot

    Here is where the issue pops up. It won't log me into the GUI - it just comes up with a screen that says "Oops, something went wrong and the system couldn't recover".

    For the life of me, I can't figure out why this is happening. Reaching out for some advice and thank you in advance for taking the time to read the post.

    Did you reboot between these two steps? You maybe installing the kernel-headers for the kernel your running and not the new one that got dist-upgraded.

    Oh yes with the linux headers command, with the uname -r function, it won't let you install the linux headers at all - a reboot is essential.

    One thing I have noticed - the Kali initial splash screen, under advanced options, shows both the 4.3.0 and the 4.6.0 version. When this comes up, there is no way I can boot in. I can however get to a command line using CTRL+F2.

    I am currently reinstalling and re updating.

    NIVIDA installing CUDA

    I have the same problem. Kali 2016. Rolling fresh install. Apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, apt-get dist-upgrade done.

    01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G86M [GeForce 8400M GS] (rev a1)
    I tried to install NVIDIA-Linux-x86-340.96.run, NVIDIA-Linux-x86-340.93.run, NVIDIA-Linux-x86-340.76.run but installation process aborted. Installation cuda_6.0.37_linux_32.run faild, too.

    root@kali:~# uname -a
    Linux kali 4.6.0-kali1-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 4.6.3-1kali1 (2016-07-12) i686 GNU/Linux

    root@kali:/usr/bin# ls -lh gcc*
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Jul 18 23:58 gcc -> gcc-5
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 860K Jul 2 01:23 gcc-5
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jul 18 23:58 gcc-ar -> gcc-ar-5
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 30K Jul 2 01:23 gcc-ar-5
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jul 18 23:58 gcc-nm -> gcc-nm-5
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 30K Jul 2 01:23 gcc-nm-5
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jul 18 23:58 gcc-ranlib -> gcc-ranlib-5
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 30K Jul 2 01:23 gcc-ranlib-5

    I guess the problem is the missing gcc-4.6.*. Unfortunatelly I can't install from the kali rolling/sana repository.
    Any idea? I need CUDA support. NVIDIA card supported by CUDA.

    Tried according this tutorials, but since this is an old graphical card, so not supported by nvidia-kernel-dkms, nvidia-installer: http://docs.kali.org/general-use/ins...-on-kali-linux

    http://wheresmykeyboard.com/2016/06/...016-1-rolling/

    https://neverendingsecurity.wordpres...on-kali-linux/


    So from where can I download the missing gcc-4.6.* files? Could you help me?
    Thanks,

    SOLVED.
    I installed nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver with cuda support.

    can you be more specific on how you installed a nvidia-legacy-340.xx driver with cuda support?

    First I tried to install the driver from NVIDIA site. I contacted them. They said my video card compatible with their official nvidia (old) driver, and with the cuda 6.5. Link: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/t...orce-8400m-gs/
    But the OS not supported by them. I tried to install their driver to install "./nvidiaxxx.run",after telinit 1, kill lightdm commands, but it was unsuccessful.

    So I tried to install from the kali rolling repository. Apt-get update, apt-get upgrade. Than installed linux-headers, linux-source, linux-source 4-6 packages. Reboot.
    After "apt-get install nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver libnvidia-legacy-340xx-cuda1" command, reboot. It was successful.

    followed your instructions which went well until the last reboot left no GUI, just a blinking cursor. xorg.conf still has Driver "nouveau" listed. /var/log/Xorg.0.conf has No devices detected No screens found. I have a MSI laptop with a Nvidia Geforce 8200m graphics chip.

    You should block the nouveau driver under boot. Create /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-installer-disable-nouveau.conf file and reboot.

    It should contain:
    root@kali:/etc/modprobe.d# cat nvidia-installer-disable-nouveau.conf
    blacklist nouveau
    options nouveau modeset=0

    added the nvidia-installer-disable-nouveau file as described and rebooted. Same blinking cursor. Previously I had edited the xorg.conf to change nouveau to nvidia as the Driver and /etc/default/grub contains the line nouveau.modeset=0.

    Maybe a Gnome / Nvidia compatibility issue, look at my answer here : https://forums.kali.org/showthread.p...2423#post62423

    I have NEVER gotten cuda working under Kali. This "official" tutorial just bricks me:
    http://docs.kali.org/general-use/ins...-on-kali-linux

    Now viejo verde says he got cuda working under kali? May I ask, when you say "followed your instructions", whose instructions are you referring to? Please quote them in their entirety to be very clear and I will try to also have cuda. And... THANKS!

    Hey brown, I feel your pain! Look at all the other Kali people who have also failed:
    https://forums.kali.org/showthread.p...Nvidia+drivers
    And before someone replies telling brown to "just blacklist nouveau", please read the whole thread... that is WAY not enough to succeed. We need some unix brain surgeon to come by with complete information.

    Install Nvidia:
    Code:
    apt-get update
    apt-get dist-upgrade
    apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r)
    apt-get install nvidia-kernel-dkms
    Disable nouveau driver:
    Code:
    sed 's/quiet/quiet nouveau.modeset=0/g' -i /etc/default/grub
    update-grub
    reboot
    Install Cuda:
    Code:
    apt-get install nvidia-cuda-toolkit nvidia-opencl-icd
