Yes, if anything I want to go in the other direction. Now that you
mention it, I can probably just kill the remote machine's X
stuff. ( That reminds me this 16.04 during bott puts up an "Ubuntu"
logo rather than the console output which I wanted to change probably
in grub somewhere... ).
Although are there good USB hacking or diagnostic command line
utilities? I've still got this other bizarre issue,
lsusb -t
2-1.7:1.2: No such file or directory
2-1.7:1.3: No such file or directory
2-1.8:0.0: No such file or directory
2-1.8:0.1: No such file or directory

but it is probably my fault for botching an earlier
attempt to install inconsistent packages- I had
to go back to a CD IIRC and reload mount, umount, etc lol.
Thanks.
