I'm trying to install CUDA and the NVIDIA drivers on my Ubuntu 14.04 laptop. Following these instructions, I entered CTRL+ALT+F1, and then sudo service lightdm stop, in order to disable the X server. On previous machines, this has worked fine. However, on this occasion, I get a bunch of messages which I do not understand:
I've tried rebooting, and the same happens. The strange thing is, this is a completely fresh installation of Ubuntu 14.04. All I have done is installed a few standard packages (e.g. git, build-essential, cmake), and then downloaded the CUDA / NVIDIA .run file, then ran sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*, and then did the above.
Any ideas on what is going on?
