ERROR: cuModuleLoad() 209

[marpatdroid]

Hey so I'm trying to run cudaHashcat64 which for what ever reason isn't included in the The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) Linux repos when installing oclHashcat. But I figure that is more than likely a The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) issue then an issue with HC itself. So I downloaded the package from the Hashcat site and am running it manually. The only problem is it isn't running.

Basically I just got some new hardware for my main computer, and I thought I could load The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) on my old core2quad and just have that push the GPU for cHC. Instead of bogging down my main system. It should be a win win. I am connecting to the machine through SSH. Although I am probably going to install a VNC server tonight, since the machine will be permanently behind my firewall. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this error? I have included as much information as I could think of in the code below. Any suggestions, are appreciated.

I am a Linux noob, I have been using the windows version of cudaHashcat for the last year or so. But I'm not paying for another license of windows just for this project, I'm cheap.

Code:

Please use "7z x" instead of "7z e" to unpack the .7z. Then it should work.

Hey Atom,
I quickly deleted the old hashcat file as well as the outfiles and infiles to make sure there were no issues.
I then ran "7z x cudahashcat-1.31.7z"
This was my output it appears to be the same issue:

Like I stated before I am a bit of a linux newbie in when it comes to configuration, however I am comfortable in the CLI. Is it possible that I am missing a dependency? I googled and found the ldd command this is my output from that:

Code:

thanks again for all your help, and I love HC, it's straightforward and easy to use... Once I get past myself and the system it's running on.

There are two cases when you see the 209 error:
1. the extraction of the archive did go wrong (please also double-check if /kernels/4318/m00000_a0.sm_30.64.ptx etc exist)
2. make sure there are no other conflicting
- libcuda.so
- nouveau may conflict
- other installed packages may conflict

check with
sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep -i nvidia

and/or
sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep -i nouveau

(maybe also check the loaded modules - lsmod)

Furthermore, if you have the cuda sdk somewhere in your path and especially LD_LIBRARY_PATH etc, that may also conflict.

I had that error on Windows.
The kernels were there, yet it still bothered me.
Atom told me that indeed the error means missing kernels, but that did not help.
The fix was simple: update forceware to latest WHQL.

[marpatdroid]

Alrighty, I had to go to class but I just got back and I was looking into this more, it appears that all of the kernel files are there.

nouveau is blacklisted and should not be running.

here is what my lsmod is showing

Code:

root@breaker:~/cudaHashcat-1.31/kernels/4318# lsmod | grep nvidia nvidia_uvm 33145 0 nvidia 10651813 29 nvidia_uvm i2c_core 24265 2 i2c_i801,nvidia

when I run 'sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep -i nvidia' a lot comes up, however when I run 'sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep -i nouveau' I get two entries... I am now removing nouveau since that seems to cause a lot of issues, and since I am early in the install process I can always just re image the machine. Here are the outputs of the two commands now:

Code:

root@breaker:~# dpkg --get-selections | grep -i nouveau libdrm-nouveau1a:amd64 deinstall root@breaker:~# dpkg --get-selections | grep -i nvidia glx-alternative-nvidia install libgl1-nvidia-glx:amd64 install libnvidia-compiler:amd64 install libnvidia-ml1:amd64 install nvidia-alternative install nvidia-cuda-dev install nvidia-cuda-doc install nvidia-cuda-gdb install nvidia-cuda-toolkit install nvidia-driver install nvidia-installer-cleanup install nvidia-kernel-3.14-kali1-amd64 install nvidia-kernel-common install nvidia-kernel-dkms install nvidia-libopencl1:amd64 install nvidia-modprobe install nvidia-opencl-common install nvidia-opencl-dev:amd64 install nvidia-opencl-icd:amd64 install nvidia-profiler install nvidia-smi install nvidia-support install nvidia-vdpau-driver:amd64 install nvidia-visual-profiler install nvidia-xconfig install xserver-xorg-video-nvidia install root@breaker:~#

The outside of Hashcat the only things I have installed at this point are openSSH, pure-FTP, and vnc4server.

Maybe I am asking the wrong questions in trying to fix this... Is there a different linux distro that is easier to set up for cudaHashcat? Because ultimately that is all this machine is going to be used for. It is a desktop and unless I feel like scanning my apartment complex 24/7 there is really no other need for the other tools that are included in The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali), I just figured it was one of the go to distros for this purpose.

I have never tried blackbox but I assume that is just as good as The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali). The only requirements I have are SSH, FTP, and VNC other than that distro is not an issue for me.

Cheers guys and thanks for helping a noob like me.

do not install the nvidia driver from apt, install the latest driver from nvidia.com

Thank you epixoip, that was the problem I did a fresh install of The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) and went through and manually installed the nVidia drivers and the Cuda tool kit. That worked... now I just have to get it to stop giving me a warning every time I try in install something via aptitude asking if I want to uninstall the non apt version of the drivers. You are the man and if I meet you on the streets I will buy you a beer.

Thanks to everyone who helped me sort this issue.
