Is it possible to disable GUI / X at boot time? So many Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop edition users are asking the same question. On my ubuntu machine I have done following steps to disable GUI boot in ubuntu 11.10
Step 1 First update your repository by running
sudo apt-get update |
Step 2 There is some bug in old version of lightdm, so we need to upgrade the same. To do so run,
sudo apt-get install lightdm |
Step 3 Now we have to modify grub config.
Step 3a Open /etc/default/grub with your faviourite editor and change
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text"
Step 3b Also comment GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 This line is for unhiding the GRUB menu
Step 4 Now we will upgrade GRUB configuration
sudo update-grub |
Step 5 Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop edition use lightdm for GUI. We need to disable the same
sudo update-rc.d -f lightdm remove |
Step 6 Now restart your machine. Voilla you will be in console mode
At any time you need after booting your system you want to change to gui mode the run
startx |
If you want to restore Ubuntu’s GUI mode then
Open /etc/default/grub with your faviourite editor and change
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text"
to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
Update GRUB by running
sudo update-grub |
To restore lightdm run
sudo update-rc.d lightdm defaults |
That’s it
