I want no GDM at startup [SOLVED]

[Sascha Effert]

Hello,

thanks for pointing me to /etc/init/gdm.conf. I changed it, so that gdm is only started in runlevel 5. Therefore I replaced the following:

<<<<< Original /etc/init/gdm.conf >>>>>>>>>>>>>

start on (filesystem
          and started dbus
          and (drm-device-added card0 PRIMARY_DEVICE_FOR_DISPLAY=1
               or stopped udevtrigger))

stop on runlevel [016]

<<<<< My /etc/init/gdm.conf >>>>>>>>>>>>>

start on (filesystem
          and started dbus
          and (drm-device-added card0 PRIMARY_DEVICE_FOR_DISPLAY=1
               or stopped udevtrigger)
          and runlevel [5])
stop on runlevel [012346]

====================================

The machines starts in runlevel 2, so I have no problem.

Thanks and solved.

bests
