![]() ![]() 'startx' to run as needed following a reboot. This can be any service in /etc/init including kdm/gdm. overrideįor lightdm: echo "manual" | sudo tee -a /etc/init/lightdm.override (My current system: Upstart 1.12.1 / Ubuntu 14.04)ĭue to upstart the way to resolve this lately is to simply disable your Display Manager from starting on boot:Įcho "manual" | sudo tee -a /etc/init/. to be able to work using a GUI occasionally - but, not pull resources when not using/needed or simply rebooting.) To return machine to console and exit X server completely after this, just use 'log out'. Then you can run DM/DE manually when needed = Use 'startx' /etc. etc/init/kdm.conf: (kdm: 4:4.8.5-0ubuntu0.3, Upstart Version: 1.5-0ubuntu7.2)Īssuming your default runlevel is 2 on fresh reboot, you will have a console and not KDM. Instead, I simply disable the upstart/service from starting under runlevel 2: Though this may be the usual DM/welcomer, that isn't part of the original question. I always recommend Arch Linux distros generally (those or Void Linux - nothing wrong with Debian/Ubuntu based at all - but I got bored and Arch up-to-date packages just win it for me - Void repos smaller, though really perfectly big enough, but similarly up-to-date usually though).I noticed this thread revolves around assuming you are using LightDM as the Display Manager. I really recommend EndeavourOS XFCE in preference though. If I say no more, it means I didn't get round to trying. Maybe I'll get round to trying one of the MX Linux builds tomorrow - I was surprised my Manjaro script worked out-of-the-box - more likely to be some errors to fix, but that was good - you never know how lucky I'll be with MXlinux (or not). Just remembered and took at look - got some very weird pop up error windows re loop not mounting correctly or something - must have managed though since whole build was there and correct! Just booted it and now playing with Manjaro KDE (Plasma) for the first time in my life - it perfectly fast/responsive enough (not as fast as EndeavourOS XFCE admittedly) - but this particular machine I borrowed to build on is reasonably powerful (though far from latest hardware laptop). had coffee whilst waiting, then forgot it was still installing. I'll make the post sticky for now, but if no interest then I'll release it from that (sticky) situation in a week or two.Ĭurrently trying a WDL ManjaroKDE build to see if it works (and because I want to try Plasma and also do use a number of KDE apps already in WDL_Arch64) - build still running at the moment (downloading the iso).ĮDIT: Hmmm. If people use this, and find it useful, I may eventually fix all entries (assuming some don't work - please give feedback if you want that remedied) and add more. Wow, ManjaKDE is pretty fancy - I'm a bit scared of it to be honest - not what I'm used to, but I suspect if you get used to plasma it becomes addictive (I'm a bit simplistic when it comes to desktops.) - its fast enough on this machine (sorry can't remember the model offhand - something like HP Elitebook G1 Folio or something like that - fair amount of RAM - maybe 8GB - certainly not my usual dev machine, which is 4GB core2duo from 2008). Hope 1, and 2 also still work (haven't re-tested them since getting EndeavourOS with WDL initrd frugal install to work. My favourite is suddenly EndeavourOS XFCE - great distro (uses Arch Linux pacman, which also is my favourite repos and underlying system and Wiki.) as I say, in main weedogit post, because of that WDL_Arch64 is probably now DEAD, despite me continuing to use it at home for personal dedicated business circumstances (EndeavourOS is simply too good I move with the flow - well, on older machines maybe WDL_Arch still useful since uses only Openbox/tint2). Note that I have only myself had time to test (and fix) the installation for items 1,2, and 3 above. Find weedogit.sh here: viewtopic.php?p=50074#p50074 No not direct from ISO, but creates the typical kind of frugal install to own subdirectory that most here are used to.
