[NBLUG/talk] Ubuntu 10.04, gdm and rc2.d

[Bob Blick]

Thanks to everybody for their suggestions and especially to Frank for
the easy spell that worked. Now it boots to a console but if I want X
all I need to do is "sudo service gdm start".

> In /etc/default/grub there is a section:
> 
> # Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
> #GRUB_TERMINAL=console

This had no effect
 
> If that doesn't work then I'd set (also in /etc/default/grub)
> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="text"

This worked. Thank you!

Cheerful regards,

Bob
