no gdm at boot, yet another...

[lo.j]

hi all.

let's says that with upstart and the backward compatibility for sysv, things could not more complicated! :-\"

i've already tried:

unset gdm with sysv-rc-conf
sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text" + sudo update-grub


the only thing that seems to have some effect is:

echo "manual" | sudo tee -a /etc/init/gdm.override

but it makes ubuntu boot into tty7 (or 8?) and hang there without returning any prompt.
so i need to manually go to tty1 but it's clearly not what i'm trying to achieve...

well, i'd prefer not to completely remove gdm...

thanks!
