How can I set my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to boot to console without GUI?
A lot of questions without response. This thread is like this two:
Start X and Unity from the console
How to start X and Unity, without gdm?
I want to start X without lighdm, with Unity or Gnome desktop.
Some says its not possible, others to modify xinitrc.
I want to close this rigmarole:
FIRST OF ALL: in /etc/default/grub change "quiet splash" for "text"
Then sudo update-grub
Then reboot -> We get to the login of tty1
To start X server I have used startx. It looks for xinitrc of the user logged in and if not, check their configuration file.
That starts X without unity panel nor top bar.
Open terminal and tried unity --replace
.
Now Unity appears ok but slowed down VERY MUCH.
Other try was running "unity" in tty1 directly. Same result.
Other try -> xinitrc -> exec unity -> Same Result
Other try -> xinitrc -> exec gnome-session session=ubuntu -> Same Result
Every time I reach Unity it is slowed down and impossible to handle. If I start X with lightdm it run smothly. So lightdm have the answer. It runs some command that we missed.
Sum up: I want to start Ubuntu like when loggin with lightdm but loggin from terminal instead.
ANYONE?
