Title: how can I start only the terminal on Ubuntu 11? Post by: brunoshady on July 13, 2011, 10:19:14 PM How can I start only the terminal, without the gnome, in Ubuntu 11?
already tried to uninstall gdm but had no success =/ Title: Re: how can I start only the terminal on Ubuntu 11? Post by: SomeoneWeird on July 13, 2011, 10:55:14 PM Install the server version.
Title: Re: how can I start only the terminal on Ubuntu 11? Post by: brunoshady on July 13, 2011, 11:00:19 PM how can I do it with a normal version already installed?
Title: Re: how can I start only the terminal on Ubuntu 11? Post by: drawoc on July 14, 2011, 12:23:57 AM There are several ways.
If you want, you can just remove the entire xserver (package xserver-xorg). Another way, if you want to keep X installed, is to go to /etc/init.d, and move the files "gdm" and "xorg-common" somewhere else. Edit: If you're mining with an ATI card, you need the xserver running to mine. In that case, you might want to simply replace GNOME with a more lightweight alternative.

for ati mining, the xserver need to be running? Title: Re: how can I start only the terminal on Ubuntu 11?

Yeah, Nvidia has a set of special scripts that let you run CUDA stuff without the xserver, but for ATI it has to be running. If you just want a more lightweight desktop you could try running LXDE or even just openbox on its own (which is what I do). If you still want to not start the Xserver at boot, go to /etc/init.d, and move the files "gdm" and "xorg-common" somewhere else. If you do this, you can still start the xserver by running "startx".

If you're using systemd, change the default target link in /etc/systemd/system Normally, runlevel 1 is single user mode, 3 is full multi-user, and 5 is multi-user with GUI. So you should change 5 to 3. Title: Re: how can I start only the terminal on Ubuntu 11? Post by: drawoc on July 14, 2011, 02:46:19 PM Modify the default runlevel in /etc/inittab if you're using init. If you're using systemd, change the default target link in /etc/systemd/system Normally, runlevel 1 is single user mode, 3 is full multi-user, and 5 is multi-user with GUI. So you should change 5 to 3. Ubuntu switched to upstart recently (they used to use inittab). Anyway, their runlevels were always messed up even when they used inittab - 1 was single user mode, 2 and up were multi-user w/ X. Anyway, this got me thinking that the easiest way to disable X would probably be to modify the kernel options passed by GRUB. In /etc/default/grub, there's a line like: Code: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" Code: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash text" Code: sudo update-grub Then, at any time, you can simply run startx if you'd like to run X.

when I'm on ssh and start the miner, how can I get the screen again after close and open again? for example: I open ssh now and run some random miner, and then exits... later the same day, I want to see how things are going, how can I open again and see the hashes? (echos/prints from the previous session) Already tried the cat /dev/pts/2 but nothing happens, only black screen Title: Re: how can I start only the terminal on Ubuntu 11?

Use screen: Code: sudo apt-get install screen Start your miners (assuming 2 GPUs) using: Code: /usr/bin/screen -dmS gpu0 phoenix.py -q 3 -v -u http://${MINERUSER}:${MINERPASS}@${MINERSERV} -k phatk WORKSIZE=128 VECTORS BFI_INT FASTLOOP=false AGGRESSION=15 DEVICE=0Obviously, replace the variables with things that work for you. Connect to a miner GPU0 using: Code: screen -r gpu0 To exit a miner screen and leave it running use: CNTL-A, D |
