| Summary | 0001968: nvidia-kernel-dkms | ||||
| Description | The nvidia-kernel-dkms does not support the geforce gtx 980 graphics card. After the installation of nvidia-kernel-dkms I get a black screen with a blinking cursor at the top left corner of the screen. So I preform the procedure of ctrl + Alt + F1 and logging in as root and issuing the command nvidia-xconfig and then reboot. After the computer reboots it returns back to the black screen with the blinking cursor. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get dist-upgrade -y aptitude -r install linux-headers-$(uname -r) apt-get install nvidia-kernel-$(uname -r) aptitude install nvidia-kernel-dkms aptitude install nvidia-xconfig nvidia-xconfig reboot | ||||
| Additional Information | This procedure works with my geforce gtx 770 card but not my new geforce gtx 980 card. Please help me and thank you! | ||||

Hello, do you still have the problem with Kali Linux 1.1.0a ? |
|
|
I don't know if it works now or not. I ended up installing the driver off of the nvidia website and it allowed my gtx 980 card to work, but my gtx 770 would not work. Then after some research I discovered that I did not disable the nouveau driver. So after I blacklisted the nouveau driver both cards worked together just fine. I still want to repeat the procedure with the nvidia-kernel-dkms driver to see if I am able to get it to work or not |

Hello, can you do a new try or not? If not, I'll close the ticket. Otherwise, it would be nice if you could test the new kernel in 1.1.0a ? If it still doesn't work, then it would nice to test the kernel 3.18.11 in a daily image: http://archive.kali.org/kali-daily-images/kali-linux-daily-amd64.iso (The above link will have the correct kernel in a few hours once the current build will have finished, the timestamp on http://archive.kali.org/kali-daily-images/ should be newer than 20-Apr-2015 06:59). |

We have the latest nvidia driver in sana (kali 2). |
