When I try to install the nvidia driver for my video card, I receive an error message.



ERROR: You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before            

       installing. For further details, please see the section INSTALLING   

       THE NVIDIA DRIVER in the README available on the Linux driver         

       download page at www.nvidia.com.


I wasn't able to find the README on the website but how do I create a terminal that is non-X? I am on 12.04.

Do the following:




  • Press Alt + Ctrl + F1.

  • login using your id / password

  • stop the lightdm by sudo stop lightdm

  • Now install the nvidia driver. If you are using open source driver you might need to restart once and run the steps again.
