megiddo_99 Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 Sorry that I had to ask this, but I'm still trying to get the gist of Linux... I'm trying to install the NVIDIA driver update, but how do I shut down the gui in Linux? I set it to automatically start it at boot-up. I've tried using killall XFree86 and killall gdm, but it says killed zero processes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polemicz Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 you can enter init 3 on a console as root. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aRTee Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Just a small hint, those instructions aren't bad, but in mdk10.1 the file to edit is /etc/X11/xorg.conf or XF86Config and not XF86Config-4 Secondly, at the end you should do, as root: telinit 5 not login as user and do startx Note to self: have to update the NVIDIA driver install on my website too.
