I have installed 10.04 LTS server and after that x-window-system-core, gnome-core and gdm. Now it boots to a gui in runlevel 2.
1. How can I set the default runlevel to 3?
and
2. boot into runlevel 3 without a gui?
runlevels 2 -5 are identical in Ubuntu. /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf is used instead of /etc/inittab for changing the runlevel. But there's no point doing that since the runlevels are identical. The default runlevel is 2, so I tried to find some service I could disable in /etc/rc2.d. I didn't find anything I could work with.

Is it possible to connect to a vncserver that's running on runlevel 3 or does X have to be running for the vnc to work?

I know about /etc/init.d/boot.local but it's my understanding it's triggered in runlevel 1. I also know about init.d scripts but they seem a little daunting.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSometimes, when I need to affect some quick changes on my box, I boot up in runlevel 1 by adding "single" to my kernel line in the Grub menu. I use Grub because I also have Vista+RHEL+CentOS for operational reasons and then Slack for everything else.Since I upgraded to Slack13 I noticed that this was not working. I assumed that it was because I had installed on a encrypted LV, so I tried it on VirtualBox installs. I tried both on GRUB and LILO on the Virtual Slack. I tried both the 32 and 64 bit versions. It does not work.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm curious if anybody can shed some light for me in this department. We're in a large environment with a Windows DHCP Server. We have been tinkering with LTSP on Edubuntu as thin and fat clients. It works great, but right now we just have 1 server handling the lab, which works fine unless we want to expand, which may be very possible.
These are the instructions I received:
Login to your windows server and load the DHCP configuration screen
Create a DHCP reservation for the MAC address you obtained
Add the configuration options below to enable the machine to boot from the LTSP server
017 Root Path: /opt/ltsp/i386
066 Boot Server Host Name: <ip address>
067 Bootfile Name: ltsp/arch/pxelinux.0 # Specify CPU architecture in place of 'arch', for instance 'i386'

I'm curious, what if I want to have multiple Ubuntu servers on the network that I want to have bootable? For example, let's say I have 3 labs, and 3 servers. Server A to Lab A, Server B to Lab B, and Server C to Lab C. I want all C's computers to boot to C, and B to B, A to A, etc.
1 - How would I add multiple entries on the Windows DHCP Server to allow all 3 (A B C) servers to boot?
2 - How would I be able to isolate the clients so ONLY Lab A clients boot to Server A, etc?

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis post is basically an addendum to my other post located at this link: [URL]... The "new" video problem I'm having is that now I can't get the resolution back to the regular 1200x1600. So what I did is download the latest driver and the previous one to try as well. When I tried to install them it said I can't because I had an X server running. I ran an init 3 to change my run level and then did a >runlevel command, which reported "3 3". I'm assuming that confirms I am in fact running at level 3. I then ran the following command:
>sudo sh ./NVIDIA..yada yada yada (driver info) It tried to install it but said I'm STILL running an X server. What am I missing? Also, I did the init 3 command and confirmed it was "3 3" and then tried to run >startx from the command line. It said "fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0. If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again."

i have no problem ( not yet any more ). but i have a question to the development: who had the mangificent idea to change the philosopy of more than 30 year old runlevels ( 0, 1,2,3,4,5,6 ). now when the system is full up who -r and runlevel gives you can anybody imagine how many scripts which are using commands like "who -r", "runlevel" or parse utmp are give up working. i think a couple of thousends. portability is written in unix with capital letters . please send me a message if you plan to change the runlevel to "S" that i can modify my scripts.

View 5 Replies View Relatedi'm trying to install drivers for an nvidia card.
i was unable to stop X after trying the following:
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop
sudo service kdm stop
sudo stop kdm
i had ssh'ed in, so there was no point in trying ctrl-alt-f1.there was no /etc/inittab file, so i poked around, and found out that i could simply create one, and enter the following into it:
id:3:initdefault:
which would start the machine in runlevel three (to avoid starting X).that didn't work, since (k)ubuntu apparently ignores the differences between runlevels 2-5.
so i entered the following into my newly created /etc/inittab:
id:1:initdefault:
and restarted the machine.there was no screen output, and i could not ssh into the machine.i took out the new graphics card, and plugged the monitor into the motherboard's vga outlet.still no graphics on the monitor, and i can't ssh.
(and for extra points, how do i get my nvidia card to work?)
I boot by default into Runlevel 3 on my F12 Server. If I need GUI apps then I run startx.The server I'm using (eeeBox eb1501) has a wired and a wireless LAN interfaces.

To open KDE. I would like to give the other DE's (full install of Slackware current) a fair try, but I am having trouble starting the other DE's from the command line. They all work from runlevel 4 using the kdm chooser, but that's just a hassle and in all honesty will likely irritate my lazy-bone to the point of not using them on a regular basis.
Booting into runlevel 4 isn't a good option because I am frequently experimenting and booting to the command line makes troubleshooting easier. What do I need to do to be able to start the other DE's in runlevel 3?

View 6 Replies View RelatedForgive the terseness. I'm frazzled with this issue, perhaps I should have asked earlier. Every weekend for the past 2 months has been an endless cycle of 'repair broken system' off the install disk.
Installed from Ubuntu server 10.04LTS x86_64, + xfce-desktop Here is uname -a Linux ournas 2.6.32-25-server #45-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16 20:06:58 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux If I add my raid + lvm to the fstab file, the boot stalls, (no error it, just hangs waiting, forever). So that's a not very user friendly to start with.
I've tried the suggestions about UUID in fstab tried using LABEL instead, or even /dev/xxx. Every time it hangs. I've googled this endlessly and not found a solution. So don't ask why... since I seem to have tried every odd suggestion to fix this, I've lost track. There seems to be some consensus that whoever gave us plymouth laid an egg. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but did we need a better graphical boot if it breaks everything else?

I don't enter the Grub screen when I boot, and I wonder if there's another way to boot into runlevel 3. At one point, I'm prompted to type "I" to enter interactive mode, but doing this repeatedly still boots me into the GUI.
