No way. XFCE is based on GTK and uses gdm as its default DM. It doesn't have a self-developed DM. <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 10, 2011 at 21:47, Sascha Effert <<a href="mailto:fermat@uni-paderborn.de">fermat@uni-paderborn.de</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">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@ubuntu-base:~# sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/gdm ... root@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 Sascha Effert -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div>
