[kef_kf]

how do i stop xserver on kubuntu kde4.1? typing in

sudo /etc/init.d/kdm-kde4 stop
returns

grep: /usr/lib/kde4/etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc: No such file or directory Stopping K Display Manager: kdm-kde4 not running (/var/run/kdm-kde4.pid not found).

im trying to install nvidia binary driver and im not interested in using the packages or envy.

If you press <Ctrl><Alt>backspace it will kill xserver and it will log you out. Then you can press <Ctrl><Alt>F1, it will take you to a command line from where you can log in and do whatever you want without xserver running.

When you are done you can press <Ctrl><Alt>F7 to go back to the graphical mode.

F1-F6 are terminals (tty)
F7 will show you the log in screen again

Try this (leave out -kde4).....

sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop
