Summary0008095: nvidia cuda toolkit bug on live image of kali
Description

I don't know if it should be like this or not, but I found a problem when installing kali from the live distribution (kali-linux-2022.3-live-amd64.iso) - it consists in the fact that after installing the system I do apt update && apt dist-upgrade -y && reboot, then I install the driver and toolkit apt install nvidia-driver nvidia-cuda-toolkit -y && reboot after which hashcat -I or nvidia-smi does not see the video card, if I install kali from the installation disk (kali-linux-2022.4-installer-amd64.iso), the problem is gone,
I have tried all this several times with both distributions.
My notebook is MSI GE76 with GTX 3070

Не знаю должно ли быть так или нет, но я нашел проблему при установке kali с дистрибутива live (kali-linux-2022.3-live-amd64.iso) - она заключается в том, что после установки системы я делаю apt update && apt dist-upgrade -y && reboot затем я устанавливаю драйвер и тулкит apt install nvidia-driver nvidia-cuda-toolkit -y && reboot после чего hashcat -I или nvidia-smi не видит видеокарту, если установить kali с диска для установки (kali-linux-2022.4-installer-amd64.iso) проблема не проявляется.
Всё это я пробовал несколько раз с обоими дистрибутивами.
Мой ноутбук MSI GE76 with GTX 3070

Steps To Reproduce

download kali-linux-2022.3-live-amd64.iso and burn it
install system
apt update && apt dist-upgrade -y && reboot
apt install nvidia-driver nvidia-cuda-toolkit -y && reboot
nvidia-smi
result = driver is not working

download kali-linux-2022.4-installer-amd64.iso and burn it
install system
apt update && apt dist-upgrade -y && reboot
apt install nvidia-driver nvidia-cuda-toolkit -y && reboot
nvidia-smi
result = all is ok

Additional Information

my system is MSI GE76 with GTX 3070

vs.

kali-linux-2022.4-installer-amd64.iso
...
result = all is ok

Does 2022.4 shipping some updates / more recent drivers vs. 2022.3?

Indeed you could try with a 2022.4 live image, if you didn't try yet.

Otherwise there's not much we can do, solving hardware related issues from a distance is very difficult, and we don't have time / manpower for that.

If you have time and really want to dive in, you should compare the packages installed on the two systems (run "dpkg-query -W" and save the output to a file), to see what are the differences (note that Kali rolling is updated all the time, so you're likely to see some differences in package versions, unless you have two machines and install Kali on both at the same time).

Also you could compare the output nvidia-smi, compare the logs for both machines (with command journalctl). etc. etc. until you spot what are the significant differences between the two installations.

Good luck!
