Killing X ?
Hi,
I tried to kill X in order to install new graphic kernel (nvidia). But each time, it came back by itself !! What can I do ?? Which deamon should I kill ??? Thx a lot... I will become crazy :cry: |
Sounds like you have a graphical login set up.
Most distros you can type "init 3" as root to kill the graphical log in. |
It was the solution :p
Thanks a lot ! |
Next time you could also try
killall X Typing 'init 3' actually switches you into a command line runlevel...the end result is the same (X won't be running). It's an important distinction to know though. Ryan |
Most init scripts that I've encountered stick *DM on a loop, so if X dies it restarts after a couple of seconds. If that was the case then killing X would just have it spring back after a moment.
