Closing X from RH9
 

Hi all,

Having a problem with closing the GUI in Redhat 9.0...

Everywhere i've been to, they tell me to press CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE, however, all this manages to do is put my computer into sleep mode.

:confused: :scratch:

If anyone can help me, I'd be very grateful...

Cheers,

Kuronai

Apparently, you are using some gui login manager rather than the console login.

As root, try the command

init 3

Its probably not called the GUI... just whatever the graphical display is that comes up when Redhat 9 starts.

The login screen, but not in command line mode... thats what im prattling on about. What i need to get to, is the command line with X closed.

Edit your /etc/inittab file and change the default run level to the number in the comments that correspond to "Full multiuser mode".
