Re: [LUG] Disable graphical boot on Xubuntu 10.04

Yes, I think so.

On Ubuntu derivitives, probably the easiest way to do this is to remove the
Xorg packages since it lumps everything under run level 2. On pretty much
any other linux system, the best way would be to modify the default run
level to only boot into multiuser mode with networking (typically run level
3) by editing the '/etc/inittab' file.

Sadly not.  See my previous email.

If you still want Xorg to exist and just not start on boot, then you'll have
to stop the display manager from running. I'm not 100% sure how the new
upstart system works, you would want to stop GDM from loading (I'm assuming
Xbuntu still uses GDM, can anyone confirm?). The config for that is in:
/etc/init/gdm.conf

That bit I have managed to sort, basically by configuring gdm not to run
in any runlevel.
