* JXR (jxrtmp@comcast.net) [030527 18:34]: ->Hello, -> ->Does anybody know how to get back to text console from the gui xdm sign on ->screen in Suse 8.1. ->Or should I just Alt+F?, and go from there, and will I be able to shutdown the ->system from the other TTY. You can do this. 1. ctrl+alt+F2 2. log in as root and type " rcxdm stop " 3. alt+F2 and logout of console two then alt+F1 to get back to console one. You can do whatever you like from here. If you don't want the GUI login to start at all then you can edit /etc/inittab and change this line ..change the number from 5 to 3. --- # The default runlevel is defined here id:3:initdefault: --- -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org The IQ and the life expectancy of the average American recently passed each other going in the opposite direction.
