I'm running BT5 as liveUSB with persistent, trying to get oclHashcat running but in order to do that I need to install the latest Nvidia driver for my GeForce GT630. Managed to install the driver but when I rebooted I get error. I could not start "x". Anyone willing to share how to install Nvidia drivers into liveUSB?
Aby$m Thanks for pointing, read this yesterday but haven't try it yet. I believe this is for BT installed in HDD not liveUSB. Anyway will give it a shot when I have time. --- Double Post Merged, 26 Feb 2013, Original Post Date: 25 Feb 2013 --- Aby$m Followed the tutorial from the link given and after rebooted I get the same error as the 1st attempt.

When I tried to use Nvidia X Server Setting I get this You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. Then did this nvidia-xconfig during startup I get this WARNING: Unable to locate/open X configuration file.

Anyone... In order to get back into GUI I did this rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf startx meknb Mr. Penguin
I don't have one. Anyone willing to share? BTW. I've installed this as my driver "version 310.40" Linux 32bit
Unless they have the same graphics card mouse ect it wouldn't be much good to you. Sounds like permissions problem When your new xorg.conf is created Code: Select All sudo xinit gdm I think backtrack uses kdm? if not it might be gdm. It is kde kdm or gnome gdm?? I've only used backtrack 5 a few times and didn't like it so not all that use to ubuntu. It will be sudo xinit gdm for gnome
After much in depth search, my lappy Lenovo G580 with GT630M is with Optimus Technology thus no linux driver support. After reading up this post http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forums/showthread.php?t=55183 I've manage to install nvidia driver and "startx" giving me the normal startup. In order to run nvidia card in linux "Bumblebee" would be the answer http://bumblebee-project.org/ but somehow I ran into much frustrating error Mr. Penguin could you please close this thread as I would not bother with it anymore but will try to start learning ubuntu instead
