Go to Virtual Terminal press Ctrl+Alt+F1 Get to super user mode. enter #init 3 For NVidia driver installation the Xorg should not be kept running. Hence you will need to shut it down. enter #kill -9 `pgrep Xorg` This will kill the Xorg. It may re spawn. In such a case again run the same command by switching to the virtual Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F1) Now the Xorg is killed. You can run the NVidia driver installation now.
