You can disable GDM with the following command:
Code:
echo "manual" | sudo tee -a /etc/init/gdm.override
The splash screen can cause some problems, so I would suggest you to disable it. Edit the /etc/default/grub file and replace the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash” with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet”. Then generate a new Grub2 config file:
Code:
sudo update-grub
If you want to start an X session from the virtual console, simply run:
Code:
startx
or start GDM:
Code:
sudo service gdm start
If you want to re-enable GDM, then simply remove the .override file:
Code:
sudo rm /etc/init/gdm.override
