im been trying to stop this x-server here on ubuntu 10.04. i have done:
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (doesnt do anything really)
sudo service gdm stop (stop: unknown instance)
sudo stop gdm (stop: unknown instance)
this is driving me crazy... i cant seem to find anything else to stop it, and i cant find if its a bug or not.
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (only stats that i should do "sudo service gdm stop:)
this is all from the CTRL + ALT + F1 virtual interface some call it. (a command line)
i have been on this for days (3), i really need advise please!!
OK i experienced that you run the command below before you go into CTRL + ALT + F1. if you run if afterwards. it will just advise you to run a different command.
I was running this command to install Nvidia drivers manually.
