Boot Debian Linux in Console/Text/Terminal at Start-up

Boot Debian Linux in Console/Text/Terminal at Start-up:


You can boot your debian machine to Console/Text/Terminal mode do so by disabling your login manager such as KDM, GDM or XDM from running at boot time.


To disable the login manager from automatically running at boot up, run the following command as root

# update-rc.d -f kdm remove

Replace kdm with gdm or xdm if they are what you use.

To start X manually, you would then have to login at the command prompt and enter the command:

$ startx

To reset your login manager so that it runs at boot up, do:

# update-rc.d -f kdm defaults



*NOTES:

- The $ sign at the start of the command is to signify the terminal's prompt, no need to type this in
- The # sign at the start of the command is to signify the root user's terminal prompt, no need to type this in
