Summary | 0006351: Graphics artifacts | ||||
Description | Hello, I'm completely new to Unix OS. I just installed Kali Linux with an USB drive on Rufus 3.10 (on Windows 10) and I installed it on a laptop, everything work perfectly during the installation except one time I got an error on 'Choosing and installing software' (I did it a second time and it worked fine). I have now Kali Linux and Windows 10 on the laptop (dual-boot). But I have a big graphics problem, Important: I found two other users (on the forum) having exactly the same problem as me.
This bug is surely new in the 2020.1 version. Thanks you for taking the time to read. | ||||

Ah, yes...I think you're referring to me here with the ASUS laptop sudo lspci -vnn | grep VGA -A 12 lsmod | grep amd Also, what's your laptop's model? |
|
sudo lspci -vnn | grep VGA -A 12 : lsmod | grep amd : And I'm on an Asus X570ZD. |
|
Ok, Thanks. |
|
Problem is that Kali's not even detecting your NVIDIA card. How about booting Kali live or any other distro? Do you still get the same artifacts? I get artifacts on select distros and/or display managers like XFCE. Also, type this command and let me know if you get an empty output: |
|
I tried lsmod | grep nvidia So do I need to reinstall Kali (I took the installer 64-bit ISO, maybe I should take the Kali Live this time) ? |
|
You don't need to "reinstall"..Just grab the live iso, put it onto a USB flash disk using Balena Etcher, and boot into Live mode..Check if you still have the same artifacts |
|
Ok, Should I completly reinstall the other one ? |
|
What's the display manager you're using on your installed version? Gnome, XFCE, KDE, or MATE? If you're unsure, just type the command cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager (On your installed system, not the live one) |
|
I took XFCE when installing |
|
(The output is : /usr/sbin/lightdm) |
|
You can try the following: OR 2) |
|
First one didn't worked. I don't think the problem comes from me... |
|
I'm assuming that's on XFCE (lightdm)? I don't know what's up with it on AMD/NVIDIA combos sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3 Seems like ASUS with the AMD/NVIDIA combo is just asking for trouble with the drivers as far as I've experienced. |
|
That annoys me... But thank you a lot, for helping me =) I've a little question, |
|
Yep...I have the same set of messages popping up every boot. I use gdm3 with (mostly) no problems anyway (up until that HDMI problem showed up with the latest update). |
|
Sorry to bring up the topic, but the problem persists. And for this type of bug, priority should be urgent. Please consider this problem. |
|
I think I understand because a few days ago I had this problem with my Asus AMD CPU. You can download your GPU driver (NVIDIA) and install it for Linux x86_64 and then config switchable graphics in Linux. Please send the screenshot after installing the GPU driver card. |
|
Do you have a simple guide to install Nvidia's drivers, because i'm struggling, it isn't user-friendly at all... (One time I need to leave the X server, the other time I need to....) |
|
Ok so, |
|
@Triomph unfortunately, I cannot, for the life of me, remember how I installed it properly, but such a "simple guide" simply does not exist. I can't recommend any of the forums/blogs I scoured for info either because you'll almost always bork the setup at some point or another. It's gonna take a couple of tries before finding the right sequence that works for you. If you're up for the hunt, do your research until you find stuff that works. If you're out of time, just spin it up on a Virtual Machine on your host OS. However, if you REALLY wanna give it a shot anyway, I think this was one of the guides that were promising. Try it at your own risk if you want: |
|
I think the best thing to do is, as you said, to hunt until I find a solution. |
