[SOLVED] How to start bunselab without LightDM

fvirgola80 · 2016-03-18 11:20:32

Good morning , I would like to know if it is possible to start bunslab LightDM without entering my username and password from the terminal and then starting it with the command startx :
I have to uninstall lightdm ?
I can keep it by disabling something ?
risks that entails ?

Thank you

You can use systemd to disable the lightdm service - there are a couple threads in these forums about how to do that and set up a console login. Just a couple commands, but I can't think of them off the top of my head.

No risks that I am aware of.

Hello unklar , you say you change the lightdm.conf file at line 117 with username and restarting find the console terminal and I start with startx ?

Well... there's no risk if you're the only one who has access to your computer.

CLI Startup

Well... there's no risk if you're the only one who has access to your computer.

^ this - maybe I misunderstood what you're actually trying to do. Are you trying to disable lightdm and auto-login from the console with startx, or just disable lightdm?

Nope, this just means that you login without typing your password. You do not use startx...

If you want to use startx, then do this: (In terminal)

sudo geany /etc/X11/default-display-manager

Comment out lightdm by making it look like this:

#/usr/sbin/lightdm

Save the file and reboot. Now you will have to enter your username and password in console terminal, and enter "startx" to launch X.

But then the `bl-user-setup` script wouldn't run. I've never tried it myself, but don't you have to set up `~/.Xinitrc` or `~/.profile` as well?

No, as long as "openbox-session" is set as x-session-manager in /etc/alternatives (as it is in BL) then the openbox autostart script will be parsed and the xdg stuff should be autostarted just as with LightDM.

Rather than editing Xorg system configuration files, use:

sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target

to set a console login (as pointed out by @el_koraco in the linked thread) and use:

sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target

to return to a display manager login.

there's still one thing I want to ask you .... if not I press start sending with the headboard text stops at a point .... since I get sent the debian version 8 name and then the name of the pc with the two punti..la my question is there a way to not give as often send ?

Thank you
