The only thing you need to do is to install the damn nvidia driver from www.nvidia.com as recommended on https://hashcat.net/
(btw: this is also true for AMD, but for AMD the URL is support.amd.com)
Now you might already have to uninstall a few things and clean the system, before you proceed to the only needed step and install the recommended driver from the vendor site.
alil update,
i have formated my hdd and did a clean install of ubuntu 14.04 desktop,
i downloaded the recommended driver for the graphic card,
installed it with sh ./Nvidiadriverxxx
i received an error which it could not install
because of x server is on, so i had to stop it go into command line mod (ctrl + alt + f1) , and killed lightdm
then another error came which was nouveau kernel is on and it need to be stoped.
i pass that to, and then hashcat worked, but then when trying to login to my account in the gui , it did not work.
so i removed all nvidia driver then i could log back to my account.
ofc hashcat stoped to work right after, so what i did was apt-get install nvidia-352, and it worked
from what i understand from u, installing nvidia driver is all what it need to be done for running cudahashcat , is that right? (nothing else)
no nvidia cuda needed to be installed?
