We are against nonfree software dude, because we believe is a inmorality share the slavery, because as with nonfree software you are under the hands of other, in this case Nvidia and his friends, you dont have the control of your computing one time you have it installed, so you never go to find help to install malware a.k.a nonfree software in a free distribution of the GNU Operating System.
Your in the wrong forum my dude.
He just wants video. Shouldn’t we be telling him to install nouveau?
sudo apt install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
Shouldn’t you have mentioned that the nouveau package you are referring to is installed by default on Trisquel? I corrected that for you. An easy thing to miss for a beginner.
Well then, shouldn’t we be telling him a grub option or some way to invoke nouveau? I don’t use Nvidia, but surely this is a thing that people deal with.
> surely this is a thing that people deal with.
Shouldn’t we feel free to ask away if we run into a problem with nouveau? Installing nonfree stuff is definitely not the right path.
Oh, I finally understand. He was literally trying to install the non-free driver and it was complaining. I thought when I read it that he just wanted an x session and needed nouveau. My bad. Carry on with your public shaming of him.
What could you possibly miss in: «How to install proprietary NVIDIA driver?»
No need to shame anyone, though. The OP has the right to know why their question is not going to be answered here, even if the reason is readily available in the Community Guidelines.
I keep reading them again from time to time. I like to meditate on point #6 of the Code of Conduct especially: «Use common sense all the time».
>»What could you possibly miss in: «How to install proprietary NVIDIA driver?»”
I literally thought he wasn’t able to get a graphical desktop and thought the only way was with the nvidia driver, and that it was a great opportunity to tell him about his free software choices.
Try the Oibaf PPA, which has libre drivers, and run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade.
If you want newer driver support, you can try Trisquel 11, it’s on beta status:
Install it. Then, follow this guide to install the upgraded repo for libre GPU drivers.
Create an /etc/apt/sources.list.d/oibaf-ubuntu-graphics-drivers-aramo.list file with this content:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
The answer to 101’s question is:
When you get to the GRUB boot menu, do not do nothing to choose default or select select an option and hit return on your keyboard to select that option. Instead, choose an option and hit «e» on your keyboard, which enables you to edit the option. Using arrow keys on your keyboard move to the line with the vmlinuz command and towards the end of that line type in an additional option which is
«systemd.unit=multi-user.target». Only type what is between the quotation marks, not the marks themselves. Follow directions for booting with your revised command-line (I need to type either control-X or F10) and log in by typing your user name and password when prompted. This logs you into a «console» (non-graphical) shell, with no graphics drivers or «X11» running. Then follow Nvidia’s instructions.

Пробывал останавливать иксы, переходил Ctrl+Akt+F1 etc/init.d/kdm stop, и после этого запускать, выдает тоже самое.
Ставь из репозитория. Не надо себе мозги так выкручивать. У тебя debian, не слака.
Да научись уже читать
Читай внимательно, чтобы писать правильно и не задавать глупых вопросов.
sudo systemctl disable kdm sudo systemctl stop kdm sudo killall Xorg chmod +x *.runДалее, ставишь свой *.run Но лучше конечно же, ставить драйвер из репы, как выше уже сказали.
Проблема новая Делал все по второму пункту Добавил репозитарии в sources.list Вот что там:

Thread: nVidia drivers — «You appear to be running an X server»
First Cup of Ubuntu 
nVidia drivers — «You appear to be running an X server»
So I’m new to Ubuntu/Linux in general, and I’m trying to install my graphics drivers so I don’t have to open grub and boot in nomodeset every time. I’ve gotten a .run file from nvidia.com for the latest x86 linux drivers for my 550 ti. After logging in as root (sudo -i, enter password), changing to the directory of the .run file, and doing «sh NVIDIA.run» (I renamed the file to NVIDIA.run so it’s shorter to type), it starts to install the drivers but throws an error saying «You appear to be running an X server». How do I fix this?
E: Heres the installer log
nvidia-installer log file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' creation time: Sun Jan 29 00:28:10 2012 installer version: 290.10 PATH: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games nvidia-installer command line: ./nvidia-installer Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface -> The file '/tmp/.X0-lock' exists and appears to contain the process ID '1195' of a runnning X server.

made me exit to the log in screen and i had to log back in.
edit 3:
Ok wow solved this my self. Here’s how I did it:
1. open gnome (CTRL + ALT + F3)
2. log in as your user
3. run «sudo init 3»
4. switch to root («sudo -i» or «sudo su root»)
5. cd to the directory containing the .run file
6. sh NVIDIA.run (where NVIDIA.run is the name of the .run file)
7. after completing the prompts, enter «reboot»
