Install NVIDIA Drivers and CUDA Toolkit on Kali Linux Purple - GPU installation in Kali Linux

This video explains how to install NVIDIA GPU drivers and CUDA support, allowing integration with popular penetration testing tools. We will not be using nouveau, being the open-source driver for NVIDIA, instead we will installing the close-source from NVIDIA.

This will cover a dedicated card (desktops users) and optimus (laptops and notebook users).

We recommend that you do not attempt this in a Virtual Machine. It is possible, however its not straight forward, and should only be done if you have a deep understanding of Linux. It is not covered in this guide, as there are too many items to cover for everyone’s environment and setup.

Commands :
sudo apt update
lspci | grep -i vga
lspci -s 07:00.0 -v
sudo apt install -y nvidia-detect
nvidia-detect
sudo apt install -y nvidia-driver nvidia-cuda-toolkit
sudo reboot -f
nvidia-smi
lspci | grep -i vga
lspci -s 07:00.0 -v

I finally found and fixed my Linux. The NVIDIA driver installed successfully without needing "nvidia-detect."

🖥 Connect your monitor with HDMI cable to your GPU.

1. Find "contrib non-free" in your sources list:

grep "contrib non-free" /etc/apt/sources.list

2. Update your package list:

sudo apt update

3. Upgrade all installed packages:

sudo apt -y full-upgrade

4. Install Linux headers for your kernel:

sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) -y

5. Reboot if necessary after updates:

[ -f /var/run/reboot-required ] && sudo reboot -f

6. Check your VGA compatible controller:

lspci | grep -i vga

In my case:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GA104 [GeForce RTX 3070 Lite Hash Rate] (rev a1)

7. View detailed info about your GPU:

lspci -s 01:00.0 -v

8. Install AMD64 headers:

sudo apt install -y linux-headers-amd64

9. Install NVIDIA drivers and CUDA toolkit:

sudo apt install -y nvidia-driver nvidia-cuda-toolkit

10. Reboot your system:

sudo reboot -f

My terminal looks like this (kalihunterbrimstone)-[~]. After a reboot, my "brimstone" user is missing, causing a login loop. To fix this, switch to the terminal with CTRL + ALT + F3, log in with your "kalihunter" user, and then:

1. Reconfigure LightDM (install if needed):

dpkg-reconfigure lightdm

2. Edit LightDM configuration:

sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

Add and save:

[Seat:*]
autologin-user=kalihunter
autologin-user-timeout=0



3. Reboot again:

sudo reboot

4. Log in with your configured user, and your NVIDIA driver should be installed successfully.

Keeps coming up saying Nvidia-smi has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. make sure the driver is installed blah blah.

I've never got it past this point. Still using the nouveau kernel driver but the Kernel modules are Nvidia

How do I fix this?

[tcfrfwh]

Атлична!!! Атлична!!!! ВЫпью стакан водки за здоровье, товарищ!!!

[hulkgqnissanpatrol]

Don't know what happened but after restart it never loaded. Just a black screen for 12 hours. Backups no longer worked either.

[rorokaka]

[MrSstar]

Don't install sudo apt install -y nvidia-detect!!! It broke the KaliOS!!!

[dilanfarhad]

) what to do??😔
