Revision as of 10:33, 17 August 2022

In Kali Linux 2022 the Bluetooth service is disabled by default. In order to enable it run thew following commands.

sudo service bluetooth status
sudo systemctl start bluetooth.service
sudo systemctl enable bluetooth.service

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

# SZS: https://wiki.metalevel.tech/wiki/Kali_Linux_Desktop_PC_Initial_Setup
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false

sudo update-grub

Here I'm going to install the Latest NVIDIA Driver, recommended for Quadro T600, which is not presented in the Kali's repository. The first step is to download the latest driver: NVIDIA Driver Downloads > Quadr/RTX T600 > LINUX X64 (AMD64/EM64T) DISPLAY DRIVER.

Then Blacklist the default Nouveau driver:

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf

blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0

sudo update-initramfs -u

After that reboot the system. When the log-in screen come back – don't log-in. Press Ctrl+Alt+F3, and log-in to a TTY, then install the driver.

cd ~/Downloads
chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-515.65.01.run
sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-515.65.01.run

Finally reboot the system once again.
