Nvidia driver error with GTX960M

Hello,

I have an MSI GP62 6QF with a Nvidia GTX960M and Kali Linux 2017.2 OS. The problem is that the GTX960M is detected (when I do lspci) but doesn't work. I have to blacklist the nouveau driver if not I can't boot Kali. I also tried this methods:

• Install nvidia-kernel-dkms (upgrading headers and dist and other steps)
• Download the driver from the official website and purge all nvidia, blacklist nouveau, and install it from a tty.

When I try to install the drivers through this methods I recieve this error: "Oh no! Something have gone wrong. A problem occurred and the system can't recover. Please contact the system administrator. "

I don't know if there's a solution. I need the GPU to crack.

Thanks!

This http://www.allaboutlinux.eu/remove-nouveau-and-install-nvidia-driver-in-debian-8/ did the job for my debian a few months ago, I'm not sure if it works for you but give it a try.

Hey,

I also tried it but finally gives me a blank screen saying the "Oh no!:.." I don't know where is the problem.

Thanks for your help!

I assume you want to use hashcat. I would recommend you to use Debian or even Ubuntu (booo) to get familiar with debian-based distros. Kali is debian-based anyways.

You can install every single tool from kali in debian + you can properly install drivers + you get actual experience in Linux

You fucking dinosaurs, you should harness the power of the cloud. http://www.rockfishsec.com/2015/05/gpu-password-cracking-with-amazon-ec2.html

The Amazon instance blows away what you can do on a modest VM. My VM can hash194 words a second of sha512crypt while the Amazon EC2 instance can do 13,457 hashes a second. Similarly my VM can MD5 hash 6.06 million words a second but the EC2 instance can hash 2,492.9 million words a second.

If you step up to the 4 GPU EC2 instance the performance scales linearly so you get 4x whatever numbers you see for the 1 GPU instance.

Thanks gobzi. I'm going to try with debian.

It's true Huitzilopochtli, has more power but I also want to do it with my computer because I paid a GPU.:D

I use my debian for peer to peer file sharing and porn :|
