How can I disable GUI/X for next boot? I just want to run it when I
decide as startx/startxfce/etc.
When I occasionally need to boot in the CLI instead of the GUI I boot
the system in "recovery mode", it's an option of the GRUB's menu shown
at boot time in "Advanced options for Debian...." menu.
Then, after given the root's password, I switch to multi-user target
with the command:
~# systemctl isolate multi-user.target
When you end jobs with the CLI you can switch to the GUI with "startx".
To enable "recovery mode" in GRUB you need to edit /etc/default/grub
file and comment out the line:
#GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"
It's a default setting, so it should be already comment out.
