[lubuntu-users] ring any bells?

[Jack Craig]

hi list,

after various 12.04, 16.04, and now 16.10, i am getting a consistent failure
on reboot after install.  if i go bak & reinstall, comes up fine, but
reboot after good install so far gives no joy.

on reboot, it puts out the fsck,

/dev/sda1;clean, 1229900/420024 files 767048/171000 blocks

on a black screen and keeps flipping to F7 too fast for a login
on virtual console.  i tried F1 or F2, there are login prompts, but not
enough time.

is there a boot> chant to boot to text mode w/o starting desktop

from cli, how to stop / start lubuntu-desktop ??

this OS looks really cool so i want to debug this os for my coming projects.

so, a link to initrc script?  a link to desktop start/stop script?

tia, jackc...

tia, ...
