Hi fellows, Pretty new to CentOS. I was trying to find a way to boot CentOS into command prompt instead of GUI (or without loading any services). Tried using 'Crl+Alt+F1' at the boot process, but, that holds the screen at mounting and doing fstab and doesn't proceed further. Is there anyother way to boot CentOS into command prompt without using Rescue option from the installation CD?

I did installation of CentOS5.5 in text mode and made changes at the following places in the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf : section "device" identifier : "vesa" driver:"vesa" section "screen" device:"vesa" Also in the file /etc/inittab I changed id:3:initdefault to id:5:initdefault so that I can boot linux in graphical mode. I had to make the changes

One of these days, RedHat might actually run me off!!!! AAAARGH!!!! Can anyone tell me how to get CentOS 4 to simply boot to the console in text mode? If I wanted a stinkin' GUI I would have installed winders! Now, my KVM and 25 foot cord is just too long to send a GUI signal across the room and I'm missing 50% of the screen.. striped vertically.. at about 1/8th inch spacing. Not

I have a server with all the x-windows stuff installed. But it's giving me a text based login prompt on the console. I can log onto the console, and run gnome-session and GNOME comes up fine. How do I turn it on so that I get a X-Window GUI login prompt? === Al

When I installed CentOS it was with an old monitor, and it turned out that I could not get system-config-display to set it up correctly. I bought a new monitor and now all is well, except... It still boots to a text login, and I have to startx. What do I need to edit to change this? Thanks Anne -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed... Name:

Hi All, How does one best turn of X-Windows? I dont need it, ssh works just fine for me. I seem to recall it was complicated and since I know enough to do my stuf and not well versed yet in fixing things I break, I dont want to blow this up. Best, -ML

I have done what you said and I restarted centos7. It still goes into graph mode automatically. So what is the step I can do to go into text mode automatically? 2015-03-19 12:03 GMT-07:00 Digimer <lists at alteeve.ca>: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Try: > > plymouth-set-default-theme --list > > You should see 'text' and

I decided to upgrade from openSuse 10.2 to openSuse 10.3. I installed xen things, but when I boot using xen option the system is blocked. It appears the green window, with little suse logo in the middle, and mouse cursor, but the system crashes. My computer is a Pentium 4 1,5 GHz, 512 MB of RAM. I attached "diff boot.msg boot.omsg" (as diff opensuse-normal-kernel opensuse-xen-kernel)

I noticed in /etc/inittab that it has this line: # 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this) It makes sense, but what if it did get set to 0 or 6? Is there a way to boot to single-user mode anyway to edit the file and change it to a correct value? What if it is set to a negative number or a value > 6? Does it default to a valid value.

Hi there -- I just completed installing the 64-bit version of Release 5.5, and while the installation and initial configuration completed successfully, a full boot-up is never completed successfully. During the system boot-up sequence the list of services appears to complete, but then a blank blue screen appears, and while the mouse pointer is present, it does not respond to any input. I let the

folks, Im trying to boot to runlevel 4 explicitly, using this stanza: ie with a single 4 at end of APPEND line. LABEL 2.6.11-r10c2-soekris-v1 MENU LABEL ^j. runlevel 4 2.6.11-r10c2-soekris-v1 # 4 MENU DEFAULT KERNEL vmlinuz-2.6.11-r10c2-soekris-v1 APPEND console=ttyS0,19200n81 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.42.1:/nfshost/foo

In order to get more screen than 800x600, since the video card I'm using isn't on the list, and neither is my monitor, I've downloaded the NVIDIA "latest and greatest drivers" from nvidia.com, except it won't install. It refuses to run in X mode (unless I force it to, which it says is not recommended), but wants to run in init level 3. Problem is, I can't get to

Hi *, as this is my first post I want to say hello to everybody. Well, and unfortunatly I''ve already got a question for you: I''ve installed a guest domain (OS: CentOS 4) on my xen-machine and it''s para-virtualised (just to provide the information ;) ). After the installation and mount the image containing the guest to copy the necessary modules for the xen-kernel,

Amazon (or perhaps Amazon's configuration of Xen) forces a machine to come up at run level 4, regardless of what's in /etc/inittab. I've looked through /etc/rc.sysinit and /etc/rc.d/rc, to determine which (if any script) looks at /proc/cmdline and forces a particular run level, but to no avail. It seems that /sbin/init does the forcing. Can anyone confirm that /sbin/init reads
