Problem with Nvidia drivers installation

#1

Hi I tried install Nvidia drivers from this link
https://docs.kali.org/general-use/install-nvidia-drivers-on-kali-linux

but I got error after installation, Can someone help me to fix that I tried lots of command from google but it didn’t help.

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver-418

If that returns no results go to the folder that has the Nvidia driver you downloaded. Run:

./configure

make-install

This package doesn’t even exist if you check it with apt search nvidia-driver-418.
However, it was fixed lately, so just run

sudo parrot-upgrade

I’ve run “sudo parrot-upgrade” and system was upgrade but when I try to verifity nvidia on my laptop via command “hashcat -I” I got
hashcat (v5.1.0) starting…

No devices found/left.

Is there any other way to install it or get it fixed? I would be so grateful for help.

Thanks.

Firstly, if you used our nvidia installation guide - you now have bumblebee controlling your card, so any package you want with NVIDIA gpu - run it with optirun [package_name].
In order for hashcat to see your card - you also have to run it from root, so try sudo optirun hashcat -i.

Which is why I used the words ”If that returns no results”.

Bumblebee is a piece of extra software, certainly not going to call it a good one, maybe a novelty at best. If you’re not worried about minute power savings and you want to use your graphics card without modifying the existing command structure you’ve already memorized, you’re going to have to install the driver the typical Debian way. The way that has worked for years. Download, configure, make-install.

You CAN do it with apt if you add the Ubuntu-universe repo… Update, install driver then go directly to sources and mark it out so it can’t be used anymore.

i have had similar issues with nvidia at times. I have a 1050ti, that i use to game, (yes, on ParrotSec, With Steam) I had tried various methods to install my card. ut this method seems to work about everytime:

Uninstall/Pruge/Autoremove/Autoclean nvidia from your system. (Cleans leftovers from os)
sudo su
apt update
parrot-upgrade - wait. Reboot.
As Root:
apt install nvidia-detect
if you run into issues with not finding the server issue this command:
apt install -f && apt install nvidia-detect
Issue:
nvidia-detect
Results will display in terminal, the reccomended driver to install will be.

If you do not have your kernal header installed, do it first:
sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
after that, issue:
sudo apt install nvidia-legacy-XXXxx-driver
(XXXxxx will be replaced with the driver reccomended by nvidia-detect)

This works for me every time, and i get good frame rate.
Hope this helps.
