Re: stop bringing up X window when Linux booting
The instruction from Aby happen to be totally incorrect for Debian. Debian does not use runlevels to control the GUI/window stuff. In Debian, GUI is started in a couple of ways: 1) when you want, without rebooting by typing the startx command. 2) by installing and configuring a 'display manager'. Available display managers are gdm, kdm, xdm, and one other, I think. Also, you can install a display manager and get it running *without* rebooting.

stop bringing up X window when Linux booting
When my Linux boots, it starts X window automatically. I don't know how to stop it. Thanks Daniel

Re: stop bringing up X window when Linux booting
If you remove the package 'xdm' it will have to stop doing that. I'm not sure it that's the recommended way or not. Or you could hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 when X it starts. That leaves X running, but switches you to another virtual terminal that is not running X. On Thu, 5 Aug 1999, Daniel Yang wrote: When my Linux boots, it starts X window automatically.

I could have also just edited the script so xdm would not start. I did likewise with the kdm script. If kde is not installed, xdm can be removed, I believe. -- Andrew

It won't do anything until you try kill it with anything but a -9 signal, then it spawns an xwindow. Which you then must kill with a sigkill. startx and other methods of starting xwindows still work.

Re: stop bringing up X window when Linux booting
You probably have the XDM package installed, which defaults your system to starting an X server and running XDM for you.

This was true on Debian 2.0 and under. With Debian 2.1 the setup for xdm changed drastically and xdm was put in its own package. Thus it assumes that if you have xdm installed you want it started, there is no option to set to disable it at boot up. . See /usr/doc/xdm/README.Debian on a 2.1 or greater system. From above file: Upgraders from Debian GNU/Linux 2.0 or earlier should be aware that the /etc/X11/config file is no longer used; its xdm-specific options are now in /etc/X11/xdm/xdm.options. -- Brian - Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis -
