Well, I was trying to get just a terminal/console type startup and have hosed things up. I told Ubuntu to start in Failsafe with xterm. It still boots the darn GUI but I now have a small xterm. I've tried a number of things to get it back based on a couple of web tips I can find... but nothing much has changed.
Anyone know how to reset things back? On Sat, Apr 16, 2011 at 4:41 PM, Kirk Goins <[email protected]> wrote: > Well I think I have the system pretty much where I need it for now.
