@Oman sorry my friend you have issues with your video card, i have the same problem, but nouveau driver works for me at least. Anyway to install the Nvidia driver 390.48-3 from the link i posted above and with the problem you are facing you have to go to synaptic and form there search for broken packages, then remove them try to find nvidia-driver-libs and nvidia-driver-libs-nonglvnd in Debian sid packages webpage install those first. So you have a laptop then? Otherwise Optimus driver wont work for you. Good luck.
Note.-
You need a updated kernel for that driver, which is no problem if you update Parrot to version 4 first
thank you for the information, I’ll give it a try. Right now it’s like having a performance engine that just won’t start.
Yes I have a HP laptop with a nvidia 1050ti card.
Correct then your driver must be this one.-

I found in this forum this instructions how to install that driver and they are great.-
https://docs.kali.org/general-use/install-nvidia-drivers-on-kali-linux
If you need more help installing this, search for a thread in this forum with the topic “Failded to start light display manager” in one of those someone explains how to install this driver in Kali, which is almoust the same as Parrot (no way Parrot is better), anyway good day.

When I follow this thread, Failed to start Light Display Manage ,
which is the same as the link you provided it installs a different driver. It install 390.48-3 and not 375.26 as shown in your first link.
Should I just leave the 390.48 driver?
This actually worked thank you so much
My life is now complete.

We talked about this subject on the old forums. Long story short, I used this guide (for Kali) to get my GTX1080 going and it seems to work great.
We seem to have some problems with hashcat recognizing the GPU, tho, so if you run into that problem, then run
clinfo | grep -i “icd loader”
then check
hashcat -I
to see if hashcat will recognize the platform. It should.
I used smxi script when I was having a problem installing the driver for my GeForce GTS 360M and it worked! the only problem I’m facing is, if I open the nvidia settings and navigate to OpenGL/GLX information the gui crashed. But so far it’s working.

Is it just showing like this because I have not installed the drivers yet, or do I have to enable the card some how?
I cant figure out what i missed, it seems like it is all there, but it just does not seem to be working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
Does anyone know how to change the “Driver in use”?
Thank you.
