Hello, I've been trying to find directions on how to install Nvidia drivers and the CUDA toolkit for cudaHashcat but each site recommends different ways. This is what I've done so far:
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r)
apt-get install nvidia-kernel-dkms
This from the The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) documentation for installing NVIDIA drivers. nvidia-kernel-dkms actually gives me an error saying it does not support the card I have (GeForce GTX 260). It recommended a legacy pacakge. I installed the legacy package and things went OK. Then the The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) website provides instructions on how to disable the "Nouveau" driver which I presume is the default video driver. It says to modify a line in "/etc/default/grub" which does not exist in my The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) 2.0 distro. I looked up what GRUB is, and it appears to be a boot manager. I'm using The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) 2.0 USB Persistence so I suppose this is why GRUB does not exist. So I completely skipped this step and rebooted. "glxinfo" says direct rendering is on. Then the The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) documentation says to go to /usr/share/oclHashcat-plus which does not exist in The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) 2.0 either. So I downloaded the latest cudaHashcat from the website and proceeded to run it. An error popped up saying it could not find "libcuda.so.1" which I believe is from the CUDA toolkit. Now I believe this toolkit has to be installed separately from the video driver? So i tried "apt-get install libcuda1" and it went through but still get the error saying the libcuda.so.1 is missing. Not only that, I don't believe "libcuda1" is compatible with the GTX 260 legacy driver I installed (which I think is 3.40). Can anyone tell me how I can get this to work? I'm using a GeForce GTX 2.60 and The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) 2.0.
