XBMC 11 VS NVIDIA 210

rportm · 2012-06-15 15:04

Hi experts,

I need your help!

Although I've never tried Linux before, I see the XbmcUbuntu and love it!

Now I want to install this in my computer but my Nvidia 210 don't work very well.

I have problem to install the driver when I run the driver I get the error "X server running" I searched in internet and the solution for that is execute the command:
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop when I did it, I got error: gdm doesn't exist

The other solutions are

sudo pkill X
Or
sudo killall Xorg

When I tried this the terminal is closed and I go back to xbmc login!

Please tell me How I can solve that!?

Thank you a lot everybody

Rafael

Shouldn't that be sudo service lightdm stop?

or you can just read the log and find out exactly which process is interfering.

nano /var/log/nvidia-installer.log
kill -9 <PID FROM LOG>

The other option (the one that i use and recommend) is to set the linux PC to runlevel 3 (command line multi-user)

with

Code:

sudo init 3

(this works on every linux i have tried)

When you are done, simply type

Code:

sudo init 5

to switch back to runlevel 5 (multiuser graphical mode)

It's worked perfectly but when I rebooted the system stop in the message: " Checking baterry state [Ok]

Is it possible I did anything wrong? what I can do to resolve this?

thank you everybody!
