Getting a rid of X
I'm using Debian. I thought I'd try XWindows, but now I can't get out of it. How do I exit XWindows? When I restart it comes up with a graphic log-on screen.

he-he, I thought you want to dump GUI for good ol' CLI, to exit just press ctrl-alt-backspace, to boot to runlevel other then X edit your /etc/inittab file, you will find the entry like
id:5:initdefault: change it to id:3:initdefault: I still believe Debian uses SysV init scripts and runlevels. |
Whenever I get to the CLI it jumps back into the graphical log-on, but I can see the text log-on for ~1 second.
I just hit it a bunch of times and it came up with an error that X was messed, I went into xconfig as it asked, then I exited and it was back to the GUI, then I did it again and didn't go into XConfig and now it thinks that X doesn't work so it won't load it. Bad solution, but it works. |
This is because of this line in /etc/inittab
x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon now if you've changed the default init to 3 and reboot you'd be fine, if you don't want to reboot, issue as root in Xterm /sbin/init 3 and login |
Under debian just make sure you don't have a display manager running.
Code:
apt-get remove xdm |
