Nvidia Linux Exit X Server

I see i beat gerald by a few seconds.

Nvidia linux exit x server. In order to install them i need to exit the x server and terminate all opengl processes. To stop the x server in linux mint 12 or maybe other linux distros that use gnome 3 you must run the following command. This post is relevant to the gnome version of ubuntu oneiric 11 10. To enjoy your newly installed nvidia graphics drivers.

Then exit the session. What you have to do is switch to a terminal other than the current one with ctrl alt f1 log in as root and then type etc init d dm stop or if that dosnt work etc init d kdm stop this will stop the graphical display and now all you have to do is nvidia linux x86 1 0 4496. I have been tryin to install the nvidia linux x86 64 1 0 7184 pkg2 run on my system. Depending on your version the way of stopping the x server varies.

Post by gerald clark tue jun 12 2012 7 19 pm init 3 this will stop x and x logins configure your x startx test your x. Sudo service lightdm stop sudo service gdm stop sudo service kdm stop this is the one that worked for mi as i use kdm and linux mint. To start stop x server in kde replace lightdm with kdm. I ve seen many things like press ctrl alt backspace and typing sudo etc init d gdm stop but none of them work.

Sudo service lightdm start. I m trying to install the latest nvidia drivers not the ones provided by the additional drivers application. To start the interface all you need to do is replace stop with start in the previous command. This is running on the x server which nvidia is complaining about.

You have to exit the graphic mode by typing alt ctrl f1 for example login and then type one of the following commands to stop the x server. Sudo service lightdm stop. How do i do that. So far i have been able to get it installed compiled into the kernel but when it comes to configure it things get worse.

Once the driver is successfully installed you can restart x server with the command.
