VLC doesn't show any video data at all, just plays audio. The default media player on my NVidea 1050 card for which i downloaded the correct drivers won't install because the lightdm / gdm / whatever is still running..
i'd appreciate a quick and concise tip on how to disable the lightdm / gdm / whatever subsystem (aka the desktop manager and window manager etc etc), so that i can install the right nvidea drivers to see if that fixes the problem of having a 4K 2000-bucks+ system that can't even play a 1080p movie correctly.
many sincere thanks in advance for any help you can offer me without pointing me in the wrong direction or the direction of what may be a solution.
