[210121] install nvidia driver via ssh

• what: install nvidia driver via ssh
• why: server is in another place
• how:
  • step 1: download target driver
  • step 2: stop X server service

    # 为了能够安装新的 nvidia 驱动，我们需要关闭这个 X 服务，我的 Ubuntu 是基于 lightdm 类型的桌面系统，采用如下命令：
    $ sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm stop
    $ sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm status
    # 对于其他的 linux 版本，如果桌面系统是基于 gdm 类型，应该把命令中的 lightdm 改为 gdm 即可，比如：
    $ sudo /etc/init.d/gdm3 stop
    $ sudo /etc/init.d/gdm3 status
