I now believe this to be a hardware issue with my wireless card. So i think i will try and exchange my wifi card

iwconfig output is: iwconfig eth0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"VM904381-5G" Mode:Managed Frequency:5.18 GHz Access Point: 04:A1:51:F8:55:A0 Bit Rate=130 Mb/s Tx-Power=22 dBm Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:on Link Quality=53/70 Signal level=-57 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:13 Missed beacon:0 lo no wireless extensions. Monitor interface is up and running, and i can use the newly created monitor interface wlan0mon to use airodump-ng to see all the networks around me so i now that it works. root@Kali:~# airmon-ng check kill Killing these processes: PID Name 1803 wpa_supplicant root@Kali:~# airmon-ng start wlan0 PHY Interface Driver Chipset phy0 wlan0 iwlwifi Intel Corporation Wireless 7265 (rev 61) (mac80211 monitor mode vif enabled for [phy0]wlan0 on [phy0]wlan0mon) (mac80211 station mode vif disabled for [phy0]wlan0) root@Kali:~# airodump-ng wlan0mon Now when i try and test packet injection on this wireless interface y issuing the command "aireplay-ng wlan0mon -9" or "aireplay-ng wlan0mon --test" i get the following: root@Kali:~# aireplay-ng wlan0mon -9 17:33:50 Trying broadcast probe requests... 17:33:51 No Answer... 17:33:51 Found 1 AP 17:33:51 Trying directed probe requests... 17:33:51 20:0C:C8:81:89:A8 - channel: 11 - 'My Network' 17:33:57 0/30: 0%

I am unable to use aireplay-ng of the aircrack-ng suite becasue my current wireless card does not all me to use packet injection, i am very new to this and i was hoping if someone knew a work-a-round that might work. My wireless card is root@kali:~/Downloads# airmon-ng PHY Interface Driver Chipset phy0 wlan0 iwlwifi Intel Corporation Wireless 7265 (rev 61)

I looked into this on my Kali Linux partition and i found something called 'xdg-screensaver' Is this what i am looking for? If so is there any way to disable it even after reboot so it won't start up or to maybe edit the time so it does not send my computer directly into sleep/hibernation mode every time i boot up

I dual boot my laptop with Ubuntu and Kali Linux, after doing a fresh install of Kali Linux - burning the new ISO and installing without any issues at all however when i go to boot up my newly installed and up-to-date Kali machine it starts up in what i can only describe as 'sleep' or 'hibernation' mode because the screen is blank with the power button flashing. I don't even get to the login screen, until i close my laptop lid then re-open it then loads that clock screensaver thing then i am able to get a prompt to enter my username and password. What is going on and how can i avoid this? BTW i installed this new Kali ISO on a different laptop and i did not encounter this issue. I can't explain why i have a problem with one but not the other.

I have a laptop with Ubuntu gnome installed and sometimes Kali Linux and at random moments my computer shows a blank screen for a few seconds then takes me back to the login screen. This seems to happen randomly. Everything is up-to-date. Any ideas?

Thanks but i tried that (google is your friend) but it hasn't really helped my yet and i have been googling for days

Could you point me in the right direction as i have no idea where to start?

Well i wanted to get rid of Windows 10 as i really don't like it and the only linux i had at the time was kali linux so i installed that for the time being until i can download a fresh iso of ubuntu. Everything installs great. Its just my battery went from being about 6 hours in windows 10 with every driver up-to-date to a dissapointing 1 and a half maybe 2 hours at best if i'm lucky. What happened? Any ideas?

Not sure, all i know is that out of the box i loaded windows 10 and the graphics drivers were up-to-date and that i had a battery life of at least six hours. But i Hate windows 10 and decided to install linux instead and i find out i have a battery life of about 1 and a half to 2 hours at most. What happened and how could i fix this?

I recently bought a new laptop with windows 10 installed and the battery was about 6 hours or so. But now i have installed Linux on the same laptop the battery has gone down dramatically to just under two hours. What happened and how could i fix this? It's HP Envy Notebook with 12GB RAM and 2GB GeForce 940M installed.

There is one thing, even through i managed to get pyrit working i had a confusing error when i tried to use oclhashcat. apt-get install oclhashcat - installed without issue but the error came when i tried to use it: root@Kali:~# oclhashcat -m 2500 -a3 /root/Dropbox/cracking/test.hccap ?u?u?u?u?u?u?u? oclHashcat v1.36 starting... Generating bitmap tables with 16 bits... ERROR: clGetDeviceIDs() -1 Does anyone know how to solve this one?

That's no problem, but i can only tell you what worked for me. apt-get install synaptic if you haven't already. Click on the search button and type "opencl" - without quotes. In the results list you should install: amd-libopencl1 amd-opencl-icd gdb gdbserver libclc-dev libclc-r600 mesa-opencl-icd mesa-opencl-dbg multiforcer nvidia-opencl-dev nvidia-opencl-common nvidia-opencl-icd opencl-headers Some of these are probably not nessesary and have nothing to do with it but that is everything i have installed when synaptic shows me my search results and so far i have been able to use my amd gpu with pyrit.

Thanks, i am still stuck with the battery issue and have no idea what to do about that one.

I think i have solved it, finally. From the start all i wanted to do is use my graphics card in my desktop to work in the newly updated Kali Linux 2.0 since the old tutorials don't work anymore. Specifically i wanted my GPU to work with pyrit but my card wasn't being recognised even though it is fully supported. Well after days and days of searching and asking you guys for help (all of which was very very appreciated and i thank you) i think i finally did it. My card is being picked up by pyrit and i can now use my GPU in Kali Linux 2.0. Here's how i managed to do it: 1) Go to the website - https://wiki.freedesktop.org/xorg/radeonBuildHowTo/ 2) Using the information from the site open up a terminal and enter: git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati 3) Then when that is finished, in the same terminal i entered: apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-ati 4) Then change into the newly installed xf86-video-ati directory and issue the following commands: ./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/xorg make sudo make install 5) Then apt-get install synaptic and install opencl packages - click on search and type opencl and you should see them. 6) Remove stock pyrit from kali linux 7) Install pyrit and cpyrit-opencl as normal (i chose cpyrit-opencl becasue my graphics card is an AMD Radeon R9 208) That's it. So far it's working. Hope this can help someone else who is stuck.

I came across this post on the kali forums: https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?26902-AMD-Drivers-Issues-Kali-2-0-%28Radeon-HD-7400M%29&highlight=radeon and wondered where and how i can download and install these unofficial drivers from, everytime i search i keep getting directed to AMD's offiicial site with their official drivers?

Yes it's very frustrating, i have been searching the net for hours and triing different "solutions" but nothing has work so far thats why i made this post to see if any of you guys might be able to help. I tried those commands and they install with any problems so it seem to be that so far the only problem i am having is installing the fglrx-driver so i can get my graphics card to work.

First thing i tried when i saw it. It installs with out any issue. It's the fglrx-driver that i seem to have the issue with.

I tried them and they didn't work : root@kali:~# apt-get install fglrx-atieventsd fglrx-driver fglrx-control fglrx-modules-dkms -y Reading package lists...

No it's actually an AMD Radeon R9 280, it worked before the upgrade to 2.0 and now the installation process no longer works.

Yes, that is the first thing i tried before hitting up google, after hours of searching i found nothing that worked

Does anyone know how to install fglrx-driver in Kali Linux? I tried but everytime i do i get this: root@kali:~/Downloads# apt-get install fglrx-driver Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: fglrx-driver : Depends: xorg-video-abi-18 but it is not installable or xorg-video-abi-15 but it is not installable or xorg-video-abi-14 but it is not installable or xorg-video-abi-13 but it is not installable or xorg-video-abi-12 but it is not installable or xorg-video-abi-11 but it is not installable or xorg-video-abi-10 but it is not installable or xorg-video-abi-8 but it is not installable or xorg-video-abi-6.0 but it is not installable I tried googleing this and how to fix it but i found nothing. All ideas are greatly appreciated. Thank you

Yeah those where the pages i went to before making this post, i did alot of googleing but still found nothing that worked. I am totally at a loss with this one

I turned off gnome manager just to see what would happen and my laptop turns off like it should on critical power - however i lose all my notifications, none of them work so i don't know when it will turn off as there is no warning. But turning this off my computer seems to skip hibernation and go straight for shut down. I am very confused as to why gnome power manger doesn't work like it should.
