View Full Version : [ubuntu] How do I make gdm not load on startup?

I edited some file in /etc and it stopped loading, but after upgrading to natty it loads again. I'm already starting X manually from /etc/event.d/tty7, but the X started from gdm is the one I see on the screen. I don't have a keyboard, so I can't switch to the console with the right X after startup. Is the only option to deinstall gdm, or is there a way to make it not start?

"man stop" says nothing useful.

This might work:



sudo update-rc.d disable gdm


or try:



sudo update-rc.d stop gdm
