How to stop Unity to install NVidia Drivers?

[techmad]

Hey guys,

This is probably very simple but can someone tell me how I stop Unity in order to install graphics drivers?

Thanks!

Log out of Unity to arrive at the login screen (called GDM).

Now press Ctrl + Alt + F1 to go to text mode and type


sudo service gdm stop

to stop the gdm daemon (this 'stops' GDM).

Install the driver, and reboot the system


sudo reboot

Great, thanks a million :)
