Support
1

Hi guys,

I have a problem with my GPU. yes thats a nvidia GPU like all :stuck_out_tongue:

I install the 390 nvidia driver with sudo apt install nvidia-driver bumbleblee-nvidia primus xserver-xorg-video-nvidia and some other package for OpenCL to make hashcat and pyrit work with it…

if i make nvidia-smi i have NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
But if i make optirun nvidia-smi :

When i type lspci -k | grep EA3 '3D|DISPLAY|VGA' i have this output :

    00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 520 (rev 07)

Like you see i dont have a kernel driver in use for my 920mx

i can use it like that the intel GPU for all my current task and optirun to use for ponctually task like hashcat but i like when all is in order :stuck_out_tongue:

What version of Parrot are you running? (include version, edition, and architecture) the last 4.16.0-parrot12-amd64

Configured to multiboot with other systems? (yes / no) no

when i use optirun with inxi -G
