X Starts Automatically

Fri Apr 26, 2013 11:36 pm

I'm not completely new to linux but I'm sure this has a very simple solution so I'll post here. My Pi is currently running Bodhi (Raspbian with E17). Regardless of my request (to raspi-config) to NOT start x at boot, it starts anyway. If I log out and try to get to a command line, X launches again instantly and I end up in E17 again. Googling around I was only able to find solutions to the opposite problem. How can I prevent X from starting at boot?

Thanks for reading.

Hi,

Bodhi boots to a graphical login by default (I believe it is lxdm)

When a system is set up in this way, it will boot to X regardless of what you've set in raspi-config.

See if there's an init script you can disable in /etc/init.d (chmod -x) or to put it another way, find out what the graphical login is, then disable it.

I believe Bodhi boots into the Enlightment Windows Manager unless they changed for the ARM platform.

True, so you might also want to look for nodm and disable that.

Looks like they came a long way btw!

Thank you both for your replies. It is indeed E17 enlightenment. I'll give those suggestions a try when I get home.
