Hello,

I am getting crazy... I have a ubuntu server 10.10 and installed xubuntu-desktop on top of it. Now I would like to get rid of gdm, so it shall not be started whe I boot the machine. Following what I found at google I called:

root at ubuntu-base:~# sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove
 Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/gdm ...
root at ubuntu-base:~#

But on next boot gdm is started again. Searching around I was not able to find a way to deactivate it. Could please anybody tell me how to deactivate it? Preferred using the console...

bests
