[xubuntu-users] Boot process

[Dan 'Da Man']

You need to alter the runlevel of the system.  Generally on linux systems
runlevel 5 is the default runlevel for multiuser systems running an X
environment, but I believe on Ubuntu and its derivatives runlevel 2 is used
for any multiuser mode.  If /etc/inittab exists on your system, you can
type the following in a terminal:

     grep "^id:" /etc/inittab

to determine what the current runlevel is. The output may be something like
this

     id:5:initdefault:

Then type in a terminal

      sudo nano /etc/inittab

and alter the number in the following line


     id:5:initdefault:


to 3 which is a multiuser mode without the X environment (commandline
interface).


More than likely, /etc/inittab does not exist and this link will be
more pertinent,

 Instead of altering gdm.conf, you might have to alter something
related to lightdm.
