hashcat Forum

i tried all the guides hashcat provides, i tried everything i have no idea why its not working
i have evga 1080Ti graphic card
whe i run nvidia-smi i recieve the following :
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
when i run dpkg -l | grep nvidia

any idea what am i supose to do ?
Thank you

follow this: https://hashcat.net/faq/wrongdriver

and install the driver directly from https://nvidia.com

FWIW, under Ubuntu 18.04 I'm also able to run hashcat well using the native packages. I have these installed:

Code:
$ dpkg -l | grep nvidia | egrep -v '^ii' | cut -b1-80

rc  libnvidia-compute-440:amd64            440.64.00-0ubuntu1                  

rc  nvidia-compute-utils-440                440.64.00-0ubuntu1                  

rc  nvidia-cuda-toolkit                    9.1.85-3ubuntu1                    

rc  nvidia-dkms-440                        440.64.00-0ubuntu1                  

rc  nvidia-kernel-common-440                440.64.00-0ubuntu1                  

rc  nvidia-prime                            0.8.8.2

I think the CUDA toolkit pulls these in automatically, but just in case, here are the CUDA-related packages as well:

Code:
$ dpkg -l | grep cuda | egrep -v '^ii' | cut -b1-80

rc  cuda-cudart-10-2                        10.2.89-1

rc  cuda-curand-10-2                        10.2.89-1

rc  cuda-npp-10-2                          10.2.89-1

rc  nvidia-cuda-toolkit                    9.1.85-3ubuntu1

well to be honest i dont have enough knowledge on ubuntu and your instructions are very tough for me
any way to make it simplier? how to install those ?

sudo apt install nvidia-driver-440

This installs version 440, You may choose another

This should install all deps.

Tested with Ubuntu 18.04 running Hashcat like a dream Smile
