Do you use a display manager (GDM, KDM...)? Take a look at your startup sequence and disable relevant service. -- Fascism have many faces.

If X isn't started, then you can't use Xterm (well, you might be able to using a different graphical server such as wayland or the framebuffer, but they'd still need some sort of X translation layer). Before X starts you get the Linux Console. This is typically displayed on the VGA/VESA console (text mode) or using a framebuffer for higher-resolution text. The Linux Console is where the boot progress messages appear and can be accessed by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 to Ctrl+Alt+F6 when X is running. Alternatively, if X is started without a desktop environment, there is usually a minimal xinit (X initialisation file) which starts Xterm and perhaps TWM as a window manager - though I don't believe debian does that these days, just xterm. So, in the first case (using Xterm without X), then configure it as normal. In the second case, "dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" will allow you to choose fonts, but you may need to adjust your boot parameters to change the resolution. In the third case, you need to edit your ~/.Xresources file - try https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/X_resources#Xterm_resources as a start. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

The console you see before X is started is /not/ XTerm but a virtual terminal provided by the Linux kernel. Try # dpkg-reconfigure console-setup to configure it.

Re: startup console
I'm not sure what you want to change, but I use dpkg-reconfigure console-setup and editing of /etc/default/console-setup Thanks for your answer but this actually configure how the console present itself. I'd like to choose wether xterm or not is used as default console when X isn't started. -- “One original thought is worth a thousand mindless quotings.” “Le vrai n'est pas plus sûr que le probable.” Diogene Laerce -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

startup console
Hi, Does anybody can tell me where I need to go to configure the console I get before X starts ? For now, I get xterm and a minimal env setup, I'd like to configure those ? I already tried and choose terminator : sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator But it didn't change anything, I still fall on xterm and it doesn't seem to take my bashrc.
