NVIDIA and Ubuntu
I need to install my NVIDIA driver and I have to boot into the command line only, no x system running. I looked at the inittab and it is telling me this.
The default runlevel id:2:initdefault: runlevel 0 is halt runlevel 1 is single-user runlevel 2-5 are multi-user runlevel 6 is reboot Ok. To install this driver in Madrake I have to do it at runlevel 3. But run level 3 is different here. I have no idea how to do this in a Debian based distro, unless this is just Ubuntu specific. I tried the failsafe but the x system is still running and it won't work. Also I have several distro's on this computer and I am using GRUB in Conectiva, not Ubuntu. Any ideas or help would be great. I would love to try Wolfenstein Enemy Territory with Ubuntu. Thanks Webwolf |
To install the drivers, do
#/etc/rc.d/gdm stop Once thats done, try installing the drivers. Debian uses one runlevel for almost everything (runlevel 2). |
I tried it a several ways and it wouldn't work. This is a message I get with the above commands you mentioned.
/home/webwolf # /etc/rc.d/gdm stop bash: /etc/rc.d/gdm: No such file or directory /home/webwolf # sudo /etc/rc.d/gdm stop sudo: /etc/rc.d/gdm: command not found I tried a couple of other things combined with gdm but it always said; gdm already running. Aborting! Webwolf |
Sorry my fault. Its
#/etc/init.d/gdm stop |
That did it. Thanks.
