nvidia driver instal problem
ive got the hang of stuff now im just having a problem getting this nvidia driver to run in the konsole.
#/home/rgreene/Documents/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run: Permission denied thats what its sayin when i try to run it. ive logged my password and its still giving me this gruf |
are you doing this as root??

lol...what is this root you speak of?

You can't run it in Konsole either. You have to stop X running first.
In these examples, 'telinit x' is the number representing the full gui runlevel, and 'telinit c' the one for console-only. Look in the file /etc/inittab to find out which runlevel you need. As root do Code:
telinit c Code:
./NVidia-installer-pkg-run Follow the instructions you're given. Pay attention to the part about editing the Xorg.conf file. Then do Code:
telinit x |

to "become root", open a terminal and type "su" and hit enter... it'll prompt you for your root password... as was mentioned, you need to be in multi-user mode (without X) to install the nvidia driver... on slackware, multi-user mode is runlevel 3, so you'd type in a terminal (as root): init 3 that would stop the graphics server and drop you to a console... then you can run the nvidia installation (as root)... i'm not sure what the runlevel is on your distro, though... what distro are you using?? adding it to your lq profile is a good idea... you can see the runlevel numbers in your /etc/inittab file... |
