Remove startx at start?

[DJburner]

Hello,

I am running debian whezzy on my rapi and made that the desktop starts at at the start.
How can i make that no gui start at start, only the terminal?

Undo what you did.

Seriously, can you tell us what you did to make it load the GUI automatically?

(There are several different ways of doing it )

[DJburner]

When you start it first there is a blue configuration screen where i made: startx on boot

Change the default runlevel in /etc/inittab?

[DJburner]

Hmm, what to change here:?

Open a terminal and type "sudo raspi-config". That gives you the blue configuration thing, and you can change it back.

[DJburner]

Thx

Obviously the bit that says "# The default runlevel. id:2:initdefault:" - Change it to 3.

[DJburner]

Cool thx,

Runlevel 2 is startx, 3 is terminal and 1 is nothing?

[Joe Schmoe]

IME, 2 was "terminal only" and 5 was "full GUI". 3 & 4 were "undefined". And 1, I never tried.

The point is that it is all arbitrary - it can be whatever the system designers pick. I.e., whatever they put in the various "rc.X" directories.

Anyway, the best advice is what I gave originally: Whatever you did (whatever tool you used) to turn the GUI on - is the one you should use to turn it off.

Here, that seems to be the "raspi-config" program.

[DJburner]

Okey i used the config-raspi
Thanks @ all for help!

Actually Run Level 1 is usually used as Single User, Command Line without Networking running. It's used for maintenance tasks since the single user is typically Root.

Yup. Basically for serious things i.e. you forgot root password, or need to repair HDD corruption.

pi@raspberry ~ $ Sudo raspi-config

is a nice terminal command to use a GUI to change things like boot to GUI enviroment. Cool!
