Sorry, don't know how to fix it though. You might need to write your own post installation script that removes these links. -- Simon Wong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Wongy.org -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
[SLUG] run levels in debian/ubuntu
Hi, On my desktop I use update-rc.d to delete all the default symlinks when I install something that I may not want to use all the time eg.. http server or ftp server and just manually start it with /etc/init.d/blah start when I need it. The problem is that when I apt-get upgrade it restores the default runlevels and starts the daemons. How can I get the runlevels to stay at my settings across an apt-get upgrade ? I have tried update-rc.d blah stop 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 . but when I apt-get upgrade it just restores the default symlinks again thanks. -- James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

(mainly for the archives) on a Debian system, the runlevels are all identical (by default). if you don't want to run xdm/kdm/gdm on a Debian system, just don't install them (or remove them if you already have). (either "apt-get remove xdm" or "dpkg --remove xdm") -- - Gus -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

A flexible way is from your bootloader >From lilo the prompt you can type: linux 3 to initiate with runlevel 3 (default) linux 5 to initiate runlevel 5 (X) (I assume that an `append "3"' command to lilo.conf makes this permanent I'm sure you can do something similar in grub Martin Visser Network Consultant - Global Services COMPAQ, part of the new HP 3 Richardson Place North Ryde, Sydney NSW 2113, Australia Phone *: +61-2-9022-1670Mobile *: +61-411-254-513 Fax 7: +61-2-9022-1800 E-mail * : martin.visserAThp.com -Original Message- From: dan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 28 June 2002 3:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SLUG] Run levels Hi, I am trying to work out how to configure my Linux box to boot up in console mode rather than load up X Windows (KDE).

Since you're running SuSE, do this as root cd /etc edit the file rc.config Find the line whichr eads CHECK_INITTAB="yes" Change it to read CHECK_INITTAB="no" Save the file. Then edit the file inittab - also in the /etc directory find the line which reads id:5:initdefault: Change this to read id:3:initdefault Save the file. Then type SuSEconfig as root, and let it do its thing. Viola. Shutdown, reboot, and you should come up in console mode instead of X.

On my system: # Run xdm in runlevel 5 # xdm is now a separate service x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon X starts in runlevel 5. If I then change: id:5:initdefault: to: id:3:initdefault: My machine would boot into runlevel 3 rather than 5, ensuring that X doesn't start. Whilst booted, you could type as root: init 3 which would stop X in my case. - knet -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Change the `initdefault' entry in /etc/inittab to make run level 3 the default: [johnc@dropbear ~]$ grep :initdefault /etc/inittab id:3:initdefault: The number, `3' in this case, is the default run level.

Hi, I am trying to work out how to configure my Linux box to boot up in console mode rather than load up X Windows (KDE). Is this something to do with the runlevels? If so then does anyone know how I permanently set this? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Re: [SLUG] run levels
you need to change /etc/inittab The link http://www.tldp.org/LDP/sag/x2111.html might be helpful.
