I have a laptop with lubuntu. It's great but I wish LXDE was optional instead of autostarting.So my question is, what can I do to make it boot directly into a text only mode, not loading anything extra until I do something like start x ? My goal is to have my system be as lightweight as possible until I need the extra stuff.
Booting into shell instead of graphical interface
shell;startup;user interface;lubuntu
To disable the login manager permanently on Ubuntu you can do the following:sudo sh -c echo 'manual' > /etc/init/lightdm.overrideTo start the login manager manually when needed you would do:sudo service lightdm startTo stop it manually:sudo service lightdm stop
