Hi all First of all I am not a subscriber to this list so please reply personally. I was writing a simple gameserver in windows and was asked to port it to GNU platforms using gcc which i am familary to. My choise when selecting a package was Debian and when installed I chosed desktop environment together whith c/c++ developer pakage. The installation went quite well but I am a user who dont like safety becouse I am usually locking my self out. Therefore I didn't create another account other than the mandatory root. The problem arised when I the next morning started the linux machine, it went right into the desktop manager which refused me to log in as root. With no other account available I had to log in from a remote machine using PuTTY. Kill the gdm process go back to the linux machine again and log in as root and then startx. How can I prevent that Gnome Desktop Manager from starting up? I which script or where ever it could be? I have tried all the usual way's from the log in screen but no progress. I am qiute happy with starting the server manually but have to log in from remote to kill a process seem like overkill to me. Any help with a simple solution is very welcome.
