If the driver is already installed on your system, updating (overwrite-installing) may fix various issues, add new functions, or just upgrade to the available version.

and I hope ur not gaming on it.The package provides the installation files for NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M Graphics Driver version 10. which will work but you will have to use older version drivers or image of kali. I got it to work after doing some homework and trying different things but it was on a different computer, same series gpu. I had managed to get the nvidia drivers to install and work on reboot ONLY when removing nouvea driver FIRST then rebooting BEFORE installing the nvidia driver, but there still was no cuda-toolkit.Įdit: this did in fact dl and install the 390.87 driver btw. This should get you up and running and with no black screen on your final reboot. (delete everything and poste the following): (now open the text edior to edit the conf file) CheersĪpt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)Īpt-get install nvidia-driver nvidia-xconfig I am a beginner, so if I make a few mistakes, please be gentle. So Anyone trying to get the latest in Kali update to work with your Nvidia driver you should have had some issues installing the cuda toolkit as there is no longer a repository for it.īut there is a way, and I got it working today and thought I would share the steps to get hashcat running with cuda support using the latest kali distro. So as you all should know, cuda support was depreciated over preference of opencl. i am currently loading up a new vm to see if i cant replicate a process i documented earlier. Cuda support was dropped in favor for open cl.
