Notice how Kernel driver in use & Kernel modules from lspci are using nouveau, signalling the open-source driver for NVIDIA cards. They nvidia-detect package may fail in places due to Kali being a rolling distribution as it requires a stable release.

Take note, the lspci command contains a unique PCI bus address.

Let’s determine the exact GPU installed, and check the kernel modules it’s using. GPUs with a CUDA compute capability > 5.0 are recommended, but GPUs with less will still work.Īfterwards, make sure you have contrib & non-free* components are enabled in your network Repositories and that your system is fully up-to-date: :~$ grep 'contrib non-free' /etc/apt/sources.listĭeb kali-rolling main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
