| Summary | 0002500: No nvidia v340 drivers package in Kali 2.0 repository. | ||||
| Description | There are only 352 and legacy(304) nvidia drivers in the repository and both of them do not work on my 9500 gt video card. Only the v340 drivers from the nvidia website work. It would be great if a separate package with the 340 drivers is made because the manual installation is a real pain. | ||||
| Additional Information | Also the nvidia installer from the nvidia website has a bug which prevents the driver to build. But this link shows a way to fix it https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates/+bug/1431278/comments/6 . You need to run ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.76.run --extract-only and edit the nv-pat.c file as shown in the link above. Then the driver installs without a problem. | ||||
|
We do not package the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.76.run file, but use an upstream debian package. Please read the docs on how to get this installed. |

Ok but debian has the package I was talking about and Kali does not. Proof: https://packages.debian.org/jessie/nvidia-kernel-dkms . |
|
|
The nvidia-driver exists in kali. root@fringe:~# apt-cache show nvidia-driver root@fringe:~# |
|
|
This is the nvidia 352.21 driver. I am talking about the 340.65 driver which Debian 8 has and Kali 2.0 does not. |
|
|
We don't keep older driver versions in our repositories. |
