[opensuse] SPAM: Text mode at boot time
Is there a way to cofigure SuSE in order to start in text mode, instead of graphic mode, immediately after booting? Bogdan

I don't know the official YaST way to do it, but I get text init by putting splash=0 on the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst, and removing quiet from that line. To prevent X from starting as init finishes, either add 3 to the kernel line, or edit /etc/inittab and change id:5:initdefault: to id:3:initdefault:. -- "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped."

Hi Bogdan, YaST Control Center -> System -> System Services (Runlevel) -> click the 'Expert Mode' checkbox -> under 'Set default runlevel after booting to:' select "3: Full multiuser with network" -> click the 'Finish' button. hth & regards, Carl --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

it's much faster to use vi to set 3 in place of 5 in /etc/inittab :-) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

the only problem is to know at what moment of the boot time :-) usually there is no operation to do at the very beginning of boot and yast chooses text or graphic mode in relation of the memory available. else, the grub option was given in an answer... jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

type init 3 at grub bootloader (assuming you are using grub, and not lilo or an other bootloader)
"init" is superfluous, all you need to type is "3" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Why are we always compelled to stretch simple, single question posts out with so many superfluous posts?! The OP's message (not subject line) indicated a desire that the default runlevel be set to 3 instead of 5. I didn't want or need to assume the OP knew vi or felt comfortable editing config files as many of us are... and, again, he asked a simple question and I provided an easy 'point and click' answer suitable for most newcomers. And yes, "init 3" or just "3" works at the grub boot menu, but it's a real headache to forget doing that at every third or fourth boot, which I would be prone to doing. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Technically, the correct, non-superfluous answer to the original question is "yes, there is". These aren't simple question-answer lists, they are discussion forums. The original poster finds out what he wants to know, and other pieces of information lead to knowledge for others as well. Is that so bad? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I think this is a discussion forum *and* a place to get simple answers to simple questions.

I didn't see anyone expanding the topic by asking additional questions. All I saw were parallel solutions that may or may not have complicated, rather than simplified things for the OP. In any case, I think he got his simple/fast answer and moved on to real work or other distractions. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

it's precisely the use of such forum. It's unlikely that somebody else have exactly the same problem than the initial writer, but having several similar solution permits to have result for more similar problems jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
