disable desktop at startup

is there any way to disable desktop mode on startup???? I want to use console mde only.
I've tried this and doesn’t work:

initdefault=3 in /etc/inittab
comment startxfce4 in /home/usr/.bash_profile
comment /usr/bin/xinit — -br>/dev/null 2>&1 & in /etc.rc.d/rc.S

 

Use yum to remove X. It should tear down all the xfce4 requirements aswell.

 

hi,

Code:

yum remove xfce

only freezes the system :roll:

It's very strange because, after doing that, the system still tries to open a session desktop (at least, this is what I guess), but in this case you can only see a black screen and a cross as a mouse pointer (in this situation the system is unrecoverable and you must to use the recovery DVD)

tanks,

 

The AA1 is set to load X in the /etc/rc.d/rc.S file, XFCE is loaded from your ~/.bash_profile. Since you only removed XFCE but didn't remove X, X was still able to be started, but XFCE couldn't load.

 

Hi, If you comment

Code:

/usr/bin/xinit -- -br>/dev/null 2>&1 & 

in /etc/rc.d/rc.S and then comment

Code:

startxfce

in /home/user/.bash_profile the system becomes unrecoverable... only black screen with cross as a mouse pointer. ;(

Update: now I can see a blue screen with Aspireone logo in the right . Pressing Ctrl+C, now turns console mode!!!!

thanks
