Installation complete, boot new system continue Select boot device WDC WD1200BB-00DAA0 Booting Started booting to GUI, then the screen went black I recall a screen memory issues on higher resolution screens. Currently using Neovo widescreen plugged into AGP video. Found a note: 28 Nov 2009 New Monitor Spike Gave Kris the monitor that was on Spike. Bought a new 24 inch monitor, could not get Spike to display 1080x???. Realized that the video coming from the motherboard shares RAM with the system, and does not do 1080. Dug out ould AGP video card. All works now! ssh 192.168.200.101 toby@spike:~$ sudo update-rc.d gdm3 disable -bash: sudo: command not found # sudo is not installed yet su update-rc.d gdm3 disable insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (empty) of script `gdm3' overrides LSB defaults (2 3 4 5). insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (0 1 2 3 4 5 6) of script `gdm3' overrides LSB defaults (0 1 6). /sbin/reboot Starts booting then screen goes black. systemctl set-default multi-user.target Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/default.target to /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target. /sbin/reboot Boots to comand line startx still errors ### HERE # GUI works # still in GUI system-logout ler login: # back to command line ###################################
