Newb Problem , Nvidia

[Haraldger123]

Hey guys, greetings from germany
i got a problem.
my laptop has a Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M.

i followed several tutorials

http://www.yourownlinux.com/2015/04/how-...linux.html

and

http://de.docs.The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali).org/general-use-de/installation-des-nvidia-treibers-fuer-The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali)

However..i stuck if want to boot after i entered commands of the second tutorial  i cannot login even more.

Is it possible that my virtual machine somehow dont use the GTX950 ???

i have snapshot to set it back to the status after i downloaded the nvidia-linuxdriver64bit.run.

how should i proceed ? I dont get it, maybe i dont see forest full of trees.



EDIT:

i also added a blacklist gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

# Necessary to install nvidia drivers
blacklist nouveau
blacklist lbm-nouveau
blacklist nvidia-173
blacklist nvidia-96
blacklist nvidia-current
blacklist nvidia-173-updates
blacklist nvidia-96-updates
alias nvidia nvidia_current_updates
alias nouveau off
alias lbm-nouveau off
options nouveau modeset=0




I followed these stops until now:

apt-get remove --purge nvidia*

sudo apt-get remove --purge bumblebee* <----- ( bumblebee ? this was for ubuntu what should i write here? )

sudo apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

sudo apt-get install linux-source && sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf


# Necessary to install nvidia drivers
blacklist nouveau
blacklist lbm-nouveau
blacklist nvidia-173
blacklist nvidia-96
blacklist nvidia-current
blacklist nvidia-173-updates
blacklist nvidia-96-updates
alias nvidia nvidia_current_updates
alias nouveau off
alias lbm-nouveau off
options nouveau modeset=0





What should i do now?

sudo apt-get install nvidia-XXX-updates nvidia-settings

for xxx i entered 346.59, but it didnt work, also only 346 didnt work.

i dont get it :/.

Hmmm i tried somehow every tutorial i found on the Internet..... jesus... is it so complicated?

Is there success way? Anyone has an idea with a good start how to install ?

The nvidia site is also crap, "run" installer and nothing works... xconf etc, isnt there something where everything is explained? Iam a bit frustrated im sorry .

You cannot access your graphics card from host-based virtualization, no. So you will not be able to run cudaHashcat inside Vmware Workstation.

oh so it isnt possible? Thank you so much epixoip! Now i know it.

I think KVM supports PCI pass-through but I've never tested it.

You may

You may want to try http://lime-technology.com/ and their unRAID technology instead of VMWare.

[epixoip]

Yes KVM has alpha support for PCI-e passthru, but KVM is kernel-based virtualization, not host-based virtualization.

drummachina, wtf does that have to do with anything presented here?

answering this:

Yes, you can. You just have to use right one.

[epixoip]

No. "unRAID" uses KVM which is kernel-based virtualization, not host-based virtualization. Also makes no sense to pimp a NAS-oriented distribution for password cracking use.
