Revert to Classic Command Line Login

[torque]

Thanks for the write up. It works great, I like going into the text mode like BT. Noob question but how do you leave the gui back into text mode without shutting down? I didn't create the symbolic link so I use gdm3 to start instead of the startx. Thx.

You're welcome.

Easiest way to get back to command line from gnome would be using 2 sets of key cominbations.

First press: "Ctrl+Alt+F1"
Then, press: "Ctrl+C"

The first one will tab the screen back to the command line window; the second one will send a INT signal to the currently running process from that instance of bash (in this case, gnome).

Hope that works for you.
