question about grub2

[vinnywright]

OK can confirm this works ,,,,,,,,,change /etc/init/lightdm.conf so it looks like in post# 14 (add the and runlevel [!03] )

now if at the grub menu you press e and add the 3 before the ro on the linux line ,,,,,so it looks like this at the end ,,,,,,, 3 ro quiet splash ,,,,,,,you will boot to TTY1 and if you wish login and "startx"

you can make this permanent by adding it to /etc/default/grub on this line ,,,,, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

and runing

sudo update-grub

Vinny, Thanks for the info So you have to add the run level before "ro" good to know.

I believe this will work fine with a 40_custom with menuitem too.

It does work with a 40_custom file. After many false starts, finally got what I was looking for. Will mark this thread as solved and hope it helps someone else looking for the same thing
