First of all many thanks to staticn0de, I could not have made half the progress I have without his posts.
I really hope someone can help me with this issue. I have been struggling for days now trying to get this up and running, i.e. my Nvidia graphics card.
I have listed below all the information I think might be pertinent, maybe over kill but I didn't want to leave anything out. I am new to this so forgive me if I am on the wrong thread or have used the wrong format.
I have downloaded the NVIDIA drivers NVIDIA GeForce 610m (1GB) from the nvidia web site as directed, these are the drivers the specs for my pc state, Lenovo Ideapad U410.
I am running Kali 64 bit as my primary OS, no dual boot, kernel details are also listed below.
Below are the steps I have gone through trying to get this working: These were all done as a regular user then again as root.
-stopped gdm3 / terminal ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.65.run -dkms -z (failed)
-stopped gdm3 /terminal ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.65.run (failed)
-booted to command prompt ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.65.run -dkms -z (failed)
-booted to command prompt ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.65.run (failed)
Removed all files containing NVIDIA with Synaptic Package Manager then went through the steps listed above, same results.
Removed all files containing nouveau with Synaptic Package Manager then went through the steps listed above, same results.
I have now reinstalled the nouveau files I removed previously.
I have NOT reinstalled the nvidia files referenced to in Synaptic Package Manager.
I have included my sources list below for verification..it contains notes to myself in it as well.
I have followed the below link on what to do post Kali install

I followed these instructions, but lost the gui altogether. This happend a number of times and I reinstalled the OS twice before I found the xorg file and removed it...(I guess I should have read step B and saved some time)
