The easiest way to remove X and ALL GUI stuff is to reinstall. Really! Choose Expert mode or get the NetInstall CD and install only the Base System, a minimal, command-line only set up that you can build the system you need off of. Your black screen problem has happened to me in the past. I discovered it was caused (in my case) by the X server being called to run in a resolution not support by the graphic card. A bug in the installer? Setting a supported resolution fixed it. B On Wed, Jun 17, 2015 at 7:25 PM, Mark Allums m...@allums.xyz wrote: On 06/17/2015 10:12 AM, Dwijesh Gajadur wrote: Hello everyone.

Install the absolute bare minimum: use a Debian expert install to allow you to answer all questions in detail, install only the base system, perhaps with the SSH server added. That will install a small text mode system - 280 packages or so - and should allow you to build on that by adding packages slowly. Hope this helps a little - logs or more detail will help debug problems All the best, AndyC -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

If no X was installed using Ctrl-Alt-F1 won't exit it. Since no desktop was installed the going black is probably the kernel's bitmapped framebuffer at boot. Try booting with nomodeset on the kernel command line and see if that improves things. To do that interact with the grub boot loader and add that to the boot command line. Newer Linux kernels now set the graphics modes very early in the boot process. This is something that used to happen with X starting but now happens by the kernel at boot time even without X. It enables the kernel to present boot splash screens and allows switching between X screens and kernel screens without changing video modes. And when the graphics is not supported it tends to break things. Using nomodeset instructs the kernel not to do this and to use the BIOS modes instead. Using nomodeset now breaks X because X now relies upon the kernel mode setting. But it should get your text console working again. Hopefully. Give it a try and see.
