Nvidia-smi No running processes found

Hi,

I have recently installed Kali linux and installed GPU Driver for my GTX 1650 as suggested in following article.

I have AMD Ryzen 5 as CPU and 8 gig RAM.

After installation of the GPU driver, i am getting below output of nvidia-smi comamnd. It says “No Running Processes found” in my GPU. I was running a Hashcat Benchmark while i got below output.

I am wondering why there is no process showing in GPU.
Also how to make sure the OS uses GPU for fast processing?

I am new to linux so apologies if i am asking a silly question. Appreciate your help.

Please post the output of
hashcat -I
to check for available devices. Depending on the setup, you might have to run nvidia-smi as root once to load the needed nvidia-uvm module.

Hi Generix,

Please see the screenshot attached.

I am running Kali 2020.2 which doesn’t have root. I can only sudo from privileged non root account.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Looks good, you should be able to run hashcat on the gpu exclusively using
hashcat -D 1

Sorry to respond to an old thread, I have the same issue listed in the OP.
hashcat -I
returns “bash: hashcat: command not found”
I believe by GPU isn’t being used at all, and my CPU is running very hot because (I think) the integrated graphics is handling everything.
