Dear all,

I have changed the run-level of boot up using the following configuration,

#/etc/event.d/rc-default ------> telinit 1

When I boot, i go into the prompt login, my problems is, if i want to change back to GNOME, how ya? Just type startx?

Please assist.

You can try

Code:

 sudo telinit 5

to run things not run at runlevel 1 (including X). Probably, startx will work, too.

if not to run on RunLevel 1, what should I run on? Because I only want to run in tty. What u mean by including X?

If you want to boot into the CLI and not the GUI, you need to do

Code:

sudo update-rc.d gdm remove

To enable GDM again, you would do

Code:

sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults

Runlevel 1 is usually used just for system maintenance and many services will be disabled by default.
