    Unhappy Unable to complete nvidia driver installation. "Unable to locate package libopencll"

    Kali mounted on USB. I boot into persistence.
    Release 2016.2.

    I cannot boot into the desktop for some weird reason it loses signal maybe something to do with the card so I boot into text mode. I follow the official documentation for Kali's installation of nvidia drivers and everything works well until I enter the command
    "apt install -y ocl-icd-libopencl1 nvidia-driver nvidia-cuda-toolkit"
    It returns an error telling me it is unable to locate the package.

    New to Linux so I did whatever I could with research of my own to get through this but still I am stuck.

    I can't do **** without this driver so I need help.


    I can give info if needed just let me know what.

    Regards.

    tried all relevant commands to complete any upgrades or installs that were missing nothing.

    Uncomment means putting #. It is basically removing. If you put # the kernel won't read that line and skip to next line.
