| circ-user-b7neg | I'm running Ubuntu 13.10 Server, and have installed ubuntu-desktop. When the server boots up it goes straight into the Desktop login GUI. I was wondering if its possible to prevent that from happening, and instead be faced with the traditional black login command screen? | 00:50 |
|---|---|---|
| stratus_ss | sure it is | 00:51 |
| stratus_ss | there are a couple of ways you can do that | 00:51 |
| stratus_ss | you can boot into init 3, which by default doesnt use the gui, second, you can adjust the display manager, such as GDM, MDM or LightDM | 00:52 |
| stratus_ss | the simplist (not best) way to achieve this is to move the /etc/init.d/gdm file to another name | 00:52 |
| circ-user-b7neg | I've read suggestions online, however I'm looking for the "safest" method. I'd like to be able to start the desktop from the command screen when and if i need | 00:53 |
| stratus_ss | sure, that makes sense, working with the display manager is usually best | 00:53 |
| stratus_ss | typing "startx" will always launch your gui | 00:53 |
| stratus_ss | as long as you have a gui to launch | 00:53 |
| stratus_ss | alternatively you can use grub | 00:55 |
| stratus_ss | GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text" | 00:55 |
| circ-user-b7neg | im going to try the grub method first, and then i'll report back | 00:55 |
| stratus_ss | used to be i just never installed the display manager | 00:56 |
| darkxst | stratus_ss, hi | 03:11 |
| stratus_ss | hey dark, I have some questions regarding the build process | 03:12 |
| stratus_ss | I have worked my way through most of the debian maintainers guide, as well as the ubuntu how to | 03:13 |
| stratus_ss | and several how tos on pbuilder | 03:13 |
| === ph_afk is now known as ph | ||
| stratus_ss | however I cant seem to get anything other than simple things ("bc" for example) to actually successfully build | 03:14 |
| darkxst | stratus_ss, do you have the PPA's installed? | 03:14 |
| darkxst | either in the config file, or you can do it runtime when running 'update' | 03:15 |
| stratus_ss | dark, ---> this one v | 03:15 |
| stratus_ss | deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnome3-team/gnome3-staging/ubuntu trusty main | 03:15 |
| stratus_ss | or do you mean in the /etc/pbuilderrc | 03:15 |
| darkxst | stratus_ss, I do it like this "pbuilder-dist trusty amd64 update --override-config --othermirror "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnome3-team/gnome3-staging/ubuntu trusty main|deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnome3-team/gnome3-next/ubuntu trusty main" | 03:16 |
| darkxst | since I switch between different configs (trusty, trusty+ppa, etc) so its easier to just have a few different update scripts | 03:17 |
| darkxst | stratus_ss, if you do have the ppa installed, pastebin the build log (~/pbuilder/trusty_result/last_operation.log) | 03:18 |
| stratus_ss | what I am ultimately trying to acheive is understanding the backporting process, which if i understand correctly, is what is used to feed the ppa | 03:19 |
| darkxst | we are not backporting! we are ahead of ubuntu ;) | 03:19 |
| stratus_ss | ok, i guess to my way of thinking is we are "backporting" the source to deb | 03:20 |
| stratus_ss | or rather the upstream | 03:20 |
| darkxst | ok, backporting is not really the term | 03:20 |
| stratus_ss | ok, my appologies | 03:21 |
| darkxst | but the build system mostly handles the source side of things | 03:21 |
| stratus_ss | then to be more verbose, i want to be able to build the dependencies to be able to provide those to the ppa | 03:21 |
| darkxst | when you do uupdate -v 3.10.2 tarball | 03:21 |
| darkxst | all the dependencies should be there already for 3.10.x | 03:21 |
| stratus_ss | n00b question -> who creates them in the first place | 03:22 |
| darkxst | btw, just to go back a few steps, you will need to use the saucy pocket to build 3.10.x for the timebeing "i.e. deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnome3-team/gnome3-staging/ubuntu saucy main" | 03:22 |
| darkxst | stratus_ss, we update them from ubuntu or debian as required | 03:23 |
| darkxst | stratus_ss, or even better use a saucy pbuilder ;) | 03:23 |
| darkxst | I am going to start copying 3.10 packages into trusty pocket, but haven't started yet. | 03:24 |
