NVIDIA 1080 TI DRIVER INSTALL ON PARROT OS

This is a tricky one. Getting your NVidia 1080 Ti drivers installed and running on Parrot OS can be a pain. These directions are how to install them on a bare metal system

Open a terminal
Type:
sudo bash
Enter your password

nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf
Add the following to the file:
blacklist nouveau
blacklist lbm-nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
alias nouveau off
alias lbm-nouveau off

Save the file, exit, and reboot your system

Once back on the desktop
Open a terminal
Type:
sudo bash
Enter your password
apt-get update && apt install nvidia-driver
Type y when prompted
reboot

Once back on the desktop
Open a terminal
Type:
sudo bash

apt install -y ocl-icd-libopencl1 nvidia-cuda-toolkit
Type y when prompted
reboot

Once back on the desktop
Open a terminal

nvidia-smi – this will show your card now
hashcat -b – this will run hashcat for your system to show benchmarks

That’s it!
