HOW TO DISABLE XFCE4 AT BOOT TIME IN UBUNTU 14.04

[Shag]

I have tried multiple ways of preventing xfce4 from loading at server start and the only successful option that I have implemented was to edit the grub file.

Edit /etc/default/grub

Code: Select all

 sudo vim /etc/default/grub

Find this line in your grub file
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=””

no matter what is in the quotes change it to "text" so it looks like this
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”text”

Update Grub:

Code: Select all

sudo update-grub

This will bring you to a txt login when your server reboots or starts.

If you want to run xfce4 after you log in type

Code: Select all

startxfce4
