How to install nvidia drivers for kali linux
STEP-1
Before Setup Nvidia Drivers For Kali Linux you have to make the system ready. So you’ll need to make sure you have the kernel headers for your currently active kernel in order to build the NVIDIA driver kernel modules. Lets run this commands in terminal!
This will automatically resolve the kernel headers package required for the kernel you are currently using.
STEP-2
Now we’re going to disable the intel graphics card because we prefer nvidia to intel! First lets see your hybrid graphics.
As you can see, we have hybrid graphics. Now we will disable intel for use nvidia.
Initramfs updated with this command and rebooted your computer. Now let’s check is that successful.
If shows nothing, means nouveau successfully disabled.
STEP-3
Now we will install Nvidia Drivers For Kali Linux !
DRIVERS
You must download kali linux nvidia driver installation package for your computer. If you don’t know which package to download :
Bottom From:
Linux x86_64/AMD64/EM64T
Enter green links order from top and check under from SUPPORTED PRODUCTS for your nvidia graphics card. If you find your graphics card model in SUPPORTED PRODUCTS, DOWNLOAD that.
If you don’t know your nvidia graphics card model :
My nvidia graphics card model is GT 525M but maybe yours different whatever yours model will write there. After install kali linux nvidia driver installation package, open terminal and go where u download package like Downloads.
(Change 390.129 with yours package. Code must look like sudo sh ./Nvidia-driver-filename.run)
STEP-4
Now we will download requirement conf files for kali linux nvidia driver .
DOWNLOAD
After install Xconfs.zip extract the files and copy all files to root/etc/X11/
STEP-5
Now we must check to files we copied to /etc/X11/ are compatible with our computer.
So we will learn the BusID code of our video card.
it should show something like this:
PCI:1:0:0
This is our BusID code of our video card.After typing the command, I get the result PCI:1: 0: 0, so my BusID code is PCI:1: 0: 0 if you have the same, no problem you can skip STEP-5.
If your BusID is different from my BusID copy yours and open with leafpad to files we just coppied into the /etc/X11/ folder (xorg.conf and xong.conf) and change BusID “xxxxxxx” like BusID “PCI:1:0:0” with yours for example BusID “PCI:2:0:0” and the FINAL STEP I know you tired :)
FINAL STEP
Last step to happy end :)
Now we’ll download a file again for kali nvidia driver , don’t worry, this time you won’t see ads, it was a one-time, but I also need some money, right?
