I want to be able to shutdown IceWM
I'm using Debian 3.1 testing.
When I do a ctrl-alt-backspace I am taken to the graphic login screen. That's not what I want. I want IceWM to be gone. I want to be at the CLI. Also, I would like to boot to the CLI, not the graphic login screen. It's probably something simple, but I'm not sure what to do. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance. |
Hi,
Some things you need to know are: 1) The login manager (probably gdm) is the thing that keeps restarting X and giving you a login prompt. You can stop it with (as root): /etc/init.d/gdm stop 2) By the CLI I guess you mean a text console. If you press Ctrl+Alt+F1 you get to a text console. There are more virtual consoles on F2 to F6 and then F7 is your graphical login. 3) To make the graphical login never be started on boot type: rm /etc/rc2.d/K01gdm /etc/rc2.d/K99gdm (this will remove two symlinks to /etc/init.d/gdm, so you can easily put them back if need be) 4) If you then log in at the console and type 'startx' you should go straight to IceWM.
