DSL 2024 in text-only mode - giorgino - 03-28-2024 Hi all; I'm writing from Italy and I'm trying to run DSL2024 in a QEMU box under Linux. I would like to boot in text-only mode, but if I search the ney I can find old tutorials, referring to the old DSL. In muy configuration I have a root user and a normal user; I would like to start in terminal mode choosing what user needs to be activated, as normally in other distros. Please, can you help me showing which conf files I have to modify? Thano you all, -- Giorgino RE: DSL 2024 in text-only mode - grindstone - 03-28-2024 For DSL 2024 it's helpful to start searches in Antix forum; much information is there (perhaps more appropriate), but here's a start. https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/cli-boot/ RE: DSL 2024 in text-only mode - John - 03-28-2024 Unfortunately, there is a bug in the runit version antiX that doesn't allow it to boot directly into tty. If I figure out a work around I'll incorporate it into DSL 2024. RE: DSL 2024 in text-only mode - John - 03-29-2024 I have a work around for this, expect it in the next release. RE: DSL 2024 in text-only mode - grindstone - 01-22-2025 Just a heads-up if this ends-up being an issue later for someone (and conflicts with what's already been done here), looks like an init-specific option was just added upstream. The last entry in the table of antiX boot parameters was just added. Boot to console This option lets you boot antiX to console login rather than to the X desktop. Use one of the following, depending on your init system: Code: single On runit systems only. Boots into the runlevel defined in the runsvdir /etc/runit/runsvdir/single. Discussion is here if @John happens to be around and wants to talk to upstream. After a quick look, I still haven't found where you detect the 3 for DSL...not in grub.cfg and nothing different in /etc/runit/runsvdir/single or solo...might be missing it. FWIW. |
