Hashcat and NVIDIA

Message

Hello, I have a NVIDIA Optimus laptop, but because I use it as a stationary machine, I use the NVIDIA card to render X.

Now, I have installed hashcat because I want to use my NVIDIA for farming. I have done all the setup proposed, but I received the following warnings and end up farming on CPU:

Code: Select all

WARN: nvmlDeviceGetFanSpeed() 3 Not Supported

WARNING: Failed loading the XNVCTRL library: libXNVCtrl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
         Please install libxnvctrl-dev package.

What could be the problem?

Thank you in advance!!!

Not sure but try to install nvidia-drivers with static-libs use flag. This because into ebuild I see

Code: Select all

if use static-libs; then
          dolib.a "${S}"/nvidia-settings-${PV}/src/libXNVCtrl/libXNVCtrl.a

          insinto /usr/include/NVCtrl
          doins "${S}"/nvidia-settings-${PV}/src/libXNVCtrl/*.h
fi
