The system always boot up in Graphic Mode. After installation of Web Server, I want to disable Graphic Mode and change it to boot to Text Mode to save memory. Is there a way to disable graphic mode?

i tried installing the GUI mode but it didnt happen. My system restarted in between the installation. So i installed the text mode. Now how to switch over to the GUI mode?
I am generally at the text mode in Centos 4 or 5. Using Slackware and Lilo, you choose a three digit number in the lilo configuration to boot at a higher than standard resolution using the vesa driver. Using grub, how do I achieve the same thing?
I had tried to install Centos 5.3 using the graphical interface but it gives me a black screen with no response. I've read into it and installed in text mode but still need a graphical interface. Whats the command/steps I need to take?
I am using sda1 as /, which is a bootable drive. I do not know if my problem is that I did not create a /boot drive. After removing the iso dvd, I tried to reboot and I get this back: -bash: /sbin/reboot: input/output error Then it returns me to the terminal prompt.
I installed CentOS 5.4 in a Virtualbox instance using the text mode installer. The GUI installer crashes. I chose the "Server (GUI)" option when installing the system, but upon completion of the install, I'm presented with a text mode login screen. Logging in as root drops me to a shell in text mode as I would expect.
What exactly IS "Server (GUI)?" I was thinking it would be a stripped down X11 desktop.
The main role of the Virtualbox instance is to run a server stack that we run on other CentOS machines, but I want Eclipse and perhaps just a few other GUI tools on it, without all the kitchen-sink crap that (I assume, coming from the Ubuntu world) comes with a "Desktop" install.
i am on processing text tasks And i found that if you assign a text to a variable is chomp'ed automatically the newline
Code:
variable=$(cat file.txt)
The problem is i can only access the items/lines using:
Code:
for line in $variable do echo $line # Other commands done
how do i convert this to an indexed array. More importantly, how do i get access to individual $line[0], ..., $line[n] Another thing, if the file.txt, has lines with spaces it is a mess using the for...in..., but echoing prints line by line...o_0
I installed Centos 5.4 on my Pentium E5300 new comp, but I need IPX support in my work. It's simple - ipxutils and ncpfs from Fedora Core and new kernel with ipx support. I copied kernel config from /boot folder and activate ipx, ntfs support, and choose processor core 2 duo. New kernel (2.6.26) works OK, but I got one problem - when start it still shows message: "kernel: HUB 1.0:1.0 unable to enumerate USB device on port 1 (or 2, 3)" and stops after logging (text mode)
I got 2 USB devices connected - printer HP D5160 PhotoSmart and Scanner A3 USB Mustek, and I know scanner cause that messages but I don't understand why. Kernel config is the same like that from distro kernel (almost - ipx, ntfs and proc), but distro kernel doesn't do that. So I got 2 questions:
1. Why 2. What to do to stop that (disconnecting devices on boot time is not a solution)
I would like to write a text user interface (TUI) to adjust some text config files etc. Is there a tool or application for creating TUIs like this. I�m talking about those types of config tools which you see executed at first boot.
Is there any possible way to keep my CPU frequency scaling on PERFORMANCE mode through a reboot? Ubuntu likes to default it back to ONDEMAND all the time.
I am facing the problem that when I login to the machine in graphical mode the machine get reboot and same time when I login to the same machine through ssh using another machine, it is successfully login to that machine,and also ,if I do ctr+lalt+f1 and login to the machine in text mode it also works, I am using Centos 5
I have posted about 20 Slitaz Video Tutorial I made. I thought it might be helpful for new comers to Slitaz. I've have 2 playlists. One for the GUI interface and one for Text-Mode. Both playlists can be found at:[URL].. Let me know if there is anything you would like me to go over in future tutorials.
I am willing to boot up in a text mode, and then start X windows when I want to.I found the procedure Ubuntu used is different from other distribution. Would some one give me some hint?
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10. Recently after an upgrade my Ubuntu started running in low graphics mode. After searching through forums, I could finally fix it.I'm not sure what exactly fixed it. I first changed the window manager to metacity. Run the following command:Code:sudo nvidia-xconfig --composite --render-accel --add-argb-glx-visualsAnd then changed window manager to compiz and desktop effects could be enabled.The problem is, everytime I reboot, its again running in low graphics mode, desktop effects cannot be enabled, and I have to do all the troubleshooting again! Any idea how to permanently fix this?EDIT: I found that the graphics is reset even without typing the command everytime. But I still have to switch back and forth from compiz window manager to set it all right!
It seems I had no say in the matter. The installer automatically did text mode and it starts up in text mode now. I'm very new to Fedora, though I had Ubuntu installed recently but removed it because Fedora seemed a little more interesting to me. I'm on an HP Pavilion dv2807nr laptop if that helps.
I tried installing Fedora 11 on my i386 using the 6 CD set that I downloaded. Since my system has only 128M of RAM, the text install mode was used. The 1st CD installation seemed to work OK. After 181 out of 181 packages were installed, the system rebooted and did not ask for me to insert the other CDs. now when my system comes up, it is always in text mode.
Q. Is there a command I can use to have the remaining CD's installed so I can install the graphics system?
I need help connecting to the Internet while in text mode p.s don't know why but my wireless card lamp for on doesn't light in text mode, i am using a mobile broad band to connect
I want to run pdf files on fedora 13 through text-only mode(i mean not gui but when i change it to init 3).At gui i know how to do it by converting pdf to html but if we are not at gui?
I made a clean installation of F15 on my laptop, is a Qosmio x505, it has an nvidia M360, so I download the nvidia drivers and intall it separatly.To install the nvidia drivers I change the runlevel with the commandln -sf /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target /etc/systemd/system/default.targetAnd then, change it again to the graphical mode with the commandln -sf /lib/systemd/system/graphical.target /etc/systemd/system/default.targetEverything seems ok, but the system only boot in text mode. I can load the Gnome with the command startx without problems, but how can I made that it loads the Gnome automatically?
I have been using SuSE Linux in text mode for the longest time (since 8.0) and I'm often more comfortable working in that mode. I have just installed 11.3 with GNOME as a fresh install on my dual-boot laptop and I am pretty happy with the way things work. But I still languish for my text mode from time to time.
So: I know about right clicking on the desktop and selecting "Open in Terminal" and that should really solve my needs, but I read here in an older thread about using Ctrl + Alt + F2 (as it happens, it can be F1, F2, F3, etc.) so I decided to try it out. Well, when I do that, I get exactly what I expected --- a black text screen with a login: prompt and I can do all my little texty things just as sweet as can be. Except for one thing: I can't get back! The only way I've been able to get back to a GUI is to use "shutdown -r now" as user: root. Also, Ctrl + Alt + F1 removes the GUI completely for all four terminals. Can someone tell me more about this function where I might read an "info" or "man" about it? I don't even know what it is called, so it is hard to know how to search.

if I open Yast2 via SSH I see the garbage (code page related issue; similar to this). If I set some other than UTF-8 in PuTTY (KOI8-U, iso-8859 etc) Yast looks good, but then the same problem appears with Midnight Commander. How can I have Yast to use 'right' UTF-8 instead of any legacy code pages? Or how better deal with the situation?
