    Hey All,

    What is the best way to boot udoo in text mode without any GUI? I'm setting up udoo to run headless and will only need access through ssh. However, I will also want to re-boot with the GUI from time to time.

    I'm using Linux udoobuntu 3.0.35.

    Thanks!

    I use webmin to administer and go to : - system >> boot up - shut down >> lightdm , and tell it not to run on start up.

    Another way to disable automatic X startup, from the command-line:

    Code:
    sudo update-rc.d lightdm disable
    (assuming "lightdm" is the display manager used by udoobuntu, as it is in Debian...)
