How to stop the login server?

Question

With GDM removed in Oneiric, what command can I replace from the old command?

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop

I need to install an nvidia .run file and cannot figure out how to stop the server.

Answer 1

Strictly speaking the natty method was

sudo service gdm stop

For oneiric lightdm has replaced gdm - therefore to stop you would use

sudo service lightdm stop
