Stop xwin |
|
To start without xwin, I just remark it out in /etc/profile at the bottom.
| Code: | #want to go straight into X on bootup only...
if [ ! -f /tmp/bootcnt.txt ];then
touch /tmp/bootcnt.txt
# aplay -N /usr/share/audio/bark.au
dmesg > /tmp/bootkernel.log
#exec xwin #Just add the # here
fi

If you see the code in Kal's posting above, before it runs xwin, it checks whether a file /tmp/bootcnt.txt exists. So the trick is just to create this /tmp/bootcnt.txt (touch /tmp/bootcnt.txt does exactly that) before /etc/profile is run - and rc.local is the right place, as it is run before /etc/profile.
And yes, this is what pfix=nox actually does. Pfix=nox doesn't work in full install because the code that interprets this only exists in initrd.gz, and full-install doesn't use initrd.gz. (In fact, all other puppy boot parameters will not work in full install).
cheers!

I only offered my way as an alternative because jamesbond was not sure it would work.

I have finally tested jamesbond’s way, it does work and is more technical, but, in the end I believe they both work. I’ve just been using my simple way for years. Good work jamesbond.

Thanks to put light on the bootcnt.txt file .
I must say , that I thought it would have something to do with ¨bootcritical¨ or something like that ( to be read from "pfix=rdsh" mode .... ) .
But must be somethig like "bootconsoleandterminal" . 
I still will have to look a lot into /etc/rc.d and for myself I would have placed `xwin` in the rc.sysinit file and not in a configuration file, that is read all the time when launching a[n] [u]rxvt .
On the one hand I had no cause to delete this always empty bootcnt file , but on the other hand I could have done it and would have been wondering about messages like ¨X already running on display 0¨
