How to disable lightdm?
I want to disable lightdm from autostart.
Currenty, I run service lightdm disable from terminal, then run startx.
update-rc.d doesnt help
Solution 1:
Note that the method described above doesn't work anymore since 15.04 and later, since Upstart was replaced by Systemd. As described here, one can now disable lightdm like this:
16.04 upward
systemctl disable lightdm.service
15.04, 15.10
systemctl disable lightdm
Solution 2:
lightdm is started by Upstart, not SysV Init. So update-rc.d doesn't work.
Use
echo "manual" | sudo tee -a /etc/init/lightdm.override
