HOW TO DISABLE XFCE4 AT BOOT TIME IN UBUNTU 14.04
Posted: July 1st, 2014, 3:50 pm
I have tried multiple ways of preventing xfce4 from loading at server start and the only successful option that I have implemented was to edit the grub file.
Edit /etc/default/grub
Find this line in your grub file
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=””
no matter what is in the quotes change it to "text" so it looks like this
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”text”
Update Grub:
This will bring you to a txt login when your server reboots or starts.
If you want to run xfce4 after you log in type
.
Edit /etc/default/grub
Code: Select all
sudo vim /etc/default/grubGRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=””
