Summary0000973: AMD/ATI fglrx drivers fail to install.
Description

Its not possible for now to install fglrx drivers. DKMS module in case of 3.12 kernel wont compile. Since there are no patches (and wont, as I think) and there is no 3.7 kernel in the repos, the easiest way to fix it is to adopt Jessies fglrx drivers. It seems that they work good enough.

Steps To Reproduce

Just try to install fglrx-drivers on Kali 1.0.6. And use Linux 3.12.

Have you try this?

Install and configure the ATI graphics card

In this step we will install and configure the ATI drivers with extended support AMD Accelerated Parallel Process ( APP ) , OpenCLe CAL + + .
The computation performed on a GPU is superior in speed and efficiency to the CPU in place .
You need internet connection and configure the kernel as explained in the previous step .

Transfer and store in the root drivers for your GPU from ATI
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx
Begin the installation, open a console and type
ls
sh amd- driver -installer - 14-2 - x86.x86_64.run

When the installation is complete , restart the system to prevent instability.
After starting again, you need to install the precise dependencies from the previous installation . Open a console and type:
apt- get install python- libroot - devlibboost -python -dev libboost1.40 -all- dev cmake

Transfer and store in the root AMD APP SDK according to your GPU since
http://developper.amd.com/Downloads/
mkdir AMD -APP - SDK
ls
tar zxvf <filename> . tgz - C AMD -APP - SDK
cd AMD -APP - SDK
ls
sh - Install- AMD APP.sh
Set the directory on the file ATIStream . Bashrc
echo export ATISTREAMSDKROOT = / opt / AMDAPP / >> ~ / . bashrc
source ~ / . bashrc

Download and compile the CALPP
cd / tmp /
svn co https://calpp.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/calppcalpp
calpp cd / trunk
cmake
make
make install

Download and compile Pyrit , a module qu epermite Kali applications to utilize resources of the GPU
cd / tmp /
svn co http://pyrit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pyrit_src
pyrit_src cd / Pyrit
python setup.pybuild
setup.pyinstall python

Compile and install the OpenCL
cd / tmp / pyrit_src / cpyrit_opencl
python setup.py build
python setup.py install

Make a small change to the installation of cpyrit_calpp . Go to the directory / tmp / pyrit_source / cpyrit_calpp and open with Leafpad the setup.py file Look for the line
VERSION = '0 .4.0 - dev '
Replace with
VERSION = '0 .4.1 - dev '
Also search for
CALLPP_INC_DIRS.append ( os.path.join ( CALPP_INC_DIR , 'include' ) )
Replace it with
CALLPP_INC_DIRS.append ( os.path.join ( CALPP_INC_DIR , ' include / CAL ' ) )

Finally add the module to the ATI GPU Pyrit
python setup.py build
python setup.py install

To check the processor and GPU devices type
Pyrit list_cores
For testing of processing with GPU type
Pyrit benchmark

This is not a "major" severity. Please keep things in perspective.

Due to the age of the OS (Kali Moto [v1], Kali Safi [v2], Kali Rolling 2016.x), these legacy versions are no longer supported.
We will be closing this ticket due to inactivity.

Please could you see if you are able to replicate this issue with the latest version of Kali Linux - https://www.kali.org/downloads/)?

If you are still facing the same problem, feel free to re-open the ticket. If you choose to do this, could you provide more information to the issue you are facing,and also give information about your setup?
