Can't install Nvidia driver while X is running
by Flexico from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5326F)
I just got a new laptop and am trying to get Linux Mint all set up on it, but when I try to run the Nvidia gpu driver installer, it says it can't run while an X server is running. I tried pressing Ctrl-Alt-F2, but running it from the command line I got the same error. How do I run a program without X running?
