X Server how to close to a prompt

Post by bigpup »

Written by smokey01

There are times when you need to close the X Server and return to a prompt. Some distributions have a menu entry to do this while others do not. Building an nVidia graphics driver is one of those times.

An easy way to do this is press the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace keys at the same time.

To restart the X server, simply type xwin at the prompt.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o
