Thats all.
I want to boot my Ubuntu like everyday but replacing Lightdm with Console login (i think getty)
In Grub cofniguration file write "text" in the right place to get into tty1 when boot.
This will make lightdm not show.
Then we can run
Code:
xinit -- :1
and
Code:
unity --replace
or
startx
Everything I have tried to reach Unity takes it but slowed down so much, u
I normally prefer my system to boot in text mode and manually start Gnome with startx but if I do that with Gnome 3.6.1, I get many errors and a basically unusable operating system. After installing gdm however, Gnome works perfectly fine again. Why is that and how can I return to my startx?
Hi!
So, I am having difficulty understanding what I need to do or if this can be done at all..
I would like to boot into the command line for my Linux system but, still have access to the different environments as well (KDE, GNOME, Enlightenment, etc) but I don't know how to do that using startx.
After installing ubuntu on my asus transformer tablet with lightdm + onboard (keyboard) for logging in as normal user, the tablet boot up and could not start lightdm.
As I do not have the accompanying keyboard for the tablet, typing startx is not an option unless lightdm can be started and allows onboard to appear in the screen.
On the other hand, if I ssh into the tablet, I can log in as ro
How do I boot Ubuntu by default into the CLI using a multiuser runlevel? I wish to still maintain my graphical desktop manager (GDM or whatever replaced it) since I do use that to switch between Unity and Awesome WM. I do however wish to boot by default into a CLI login shell. I could then startx to start my GUI if I need it.
This is what I got from the web
To install GNOME use this command:
yum -y groupinstall “X Window System” “GNOME Desktop Environment”
If you boot your os and gnome don’t auto start login as user or root,
type startx and press enter.
...well, kind of. This is on a 12.04 machine that was formerly a desktop environment but lately has been functioning as a server. I'm at the facility now with a monitor plugged in and it will not boot to the desktop.
I'm using Xubuntu installed through Vmware as a "sandboxed" server to host minecraft and also as a linux workstation.
As a minecraft server, I can set up Grub2 to boot straight to the command line interface without starting lightdm.
What I'd like to do is add a menu entry in Grub that allows me to also select booting with lightdm so I can use the GUI when I want to.
Right now, t
Hi all!
I'd like to remove unity, gnome and all that, and just keep xfce4 (already installed).
Even better, it'd be wonderful to have my computer boot into a login shell and let me run startx if and when I want a graphical session.
Now I tried with some things along the lines of "apt-get remove unity ubuntu-desktop gnome-session" but it turns out it's too naive a method.
