Anyway, I think that if "nox" is passed on the kernel command line, that X should not auto-start. This would be useful for those of us that use binary drivers and forget to update them when they update a kernel, and also for the LiveCD, to skip auto-starting X. dberkholz@gentoo.org 2005-05-25 04:01:35 0000 I think this is a workaround to a pebkac, particularly with the advent of stuff like module-rebuild. wolf31o2@gentoo.org 2005-05-25 06:04:21 0000 > and also for the LiveCD, to skip auto-starting X Yeah, but this is *not* a user error. This is a valid request and I am simply trying to keep form having to build in some dirty hack into livecd-tools or genkernel to work around this lack of flexibility. *grin* If you really don't want it in the normal init script, just let me know and I'll hack up something for the LiveCD. dberkholz@gentoo.org 2005-05-25 06:30:13 0000 I don't see that xdm is even a good thing to be running on the livecd. Just startx. wolf31o2@gentoo.org 2005-05-25 06:56:38 0000 *sigh* I'm using GDM on the upcoming LiveCD as a display manager. This allows the user to easily select their preferred environment. I've already been using this and don't really plan on changing unless someone else wants to write me some easy wrapper or chooser capable of allowing the user to decide what desktop environment (or window manager) they wish to use, plans on putting it in portage, and maintaining it. Anyway, I am starting xdm in the default runlevel, so there really is no method currently for the user to be able to bypass starting X. Since we already have a precident for both noX (older GameCD/LiveCD images) and using no* to turn off features at boot, I thought it would be best suited to simply add it into the official init script. dberkholz@gentoo.org 2005-05-25 09:08:20 0000 Didn't livewire already write something that did that a while ago? I remember a cool little chooser between at least fluxbox and kde. dberkholz@gentoo.org 2005-07-07 14:42:29 0000 Created an attachment (id=62864) xdm.start.nox dberkholz@gentoo.org 2005-07-07 14:42:58 0000 Try out that patch, let me know how it works. dberkholz@gentoo.org 2005-07-08 15:26:41 0000 In 6.8.2-r2 fileset 0.6, 6.8.99.14 fileset 0.2. 62864 2005-07-07 14:42 0000 xdm.start.nox xdm.start.nox text/plain LS0tIC9ldGMvaW5pdC5kL3hkbS5vcmlnCTIwMDUtMDctMDcgMTQ6MTc6NTkuMDAwMDAwMDAwIC0w NzAwCisrKyAvZXRjL2luaXQuZC94ZG0JMjAwNS0wNy0wNyAxNDo0MDoxMS4wMDAwMDAwMDAgLTA3 MDAKQEAgLTc3LDE3ICs3Nyw0OSBAQAogCVNFUlZJQ0U9IiR7RVhFIyMqL30iCiB9CiAKK2NtZGxp bmVfb3B0KCkgeworCWlmIFtbICIkIyIgLW5lIDEgXV07IHRoZW4KKwkJcmV0dXJuIDEKKwlmaQor CisJZm9yIG9wdCBpbiAkKDwvcHJvYy9jbWRsaW5lKTsgZG8KKwkJY2FzZSAke29wdH0gaW4KKwkJ CSR7MX0pIGV2YWwgJHsxfT0idHJ1ZSIgOzsKKwkJZXNhYworCWRvbmUKK30KKworbm94KCkgewor CSMgRG9uJ3Qgc3RhcnQgWCBpZiB3ZSB3ZXJlIHBhc3NlZCAnbm94JyBhdCBib290ICgjODM2ODAp CisJY21kbGluZV9vcHQgbm94CisKKwlpZiBbWyAiJD8iIC1uZSAwIF1dOyB0aGVuCisJCXJldHVy biAxCisJZmkKKworCWlmIFtbIC1uICIke25veH0iIF1dOyB0aGVuCisJCXJldHVybiAwCisJZWxz ZQorCQlyZXR1cm4gMQorCWZpCit9CisKIHN0YXJ0KCkgewogCXNldHVwX2RtCiAJCi0JZWJlZ2lu ICJTZXR0aW5nIHVwICR7U0VSVklDRX0iCi0JI3NhdmUgdGhlIHByZWZlcmVkIERNCi0Jc2F2ZV9v cHRpb25zICJzZXJ2aWNlIiAiJHtFWEV9IgotCSN0ZWxsIGluaXQgdG8gcnVuIC9ldGMvWDExL3N0 YXJ0RE0uc2ggYWZ0ZXIgY3VycmVudAotCSNydW5sZXZlbCBpcyBmaW5pc2hlZCAoc2hvdWxkICpu b3QqIGJlIGluIHRoZSAiYm9vdCIKLQkjICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgIHJ1bmxldmVsKS4K LQkvc2Jpbi90ZWxpbml0IGEgJj4vZGV2L251bGwKLQllZW5kIDAKKwlpZiBub3g7IHRoZW4KKwkJ ZWluZm8gIlNraXBwaW5nICR7RVhFfSwgcmVjZWl2ZWQgJ25veCciCisJZWxzZQorCQllYmVnaW4g IlNldHRpbmcgdXAgJHtTRVJWSUNFfSIKKwkJI3NhdmUgdGhlIHByZWZlcmVkIERNCisJCXNhdmVf b3B0aW9ucyAic2VydmljZSIgIiR7RVhFfSIKKwkJI3RlbGwgaW5pdCB0byBydW4gL2V0Yy9YMTEv c3RhcnRETS5zaCBhZnRlciBjdXJyZW50CisJCSNydW5sZXZlbCBpcyBmaW5pc2hlZCAoc2hvdWxk ICpub3QqIGJlIGluIHRoZSAiYm9vdCIKKwkJIyAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICBydW5sZXZl bCkuCisJCS9zYmluL3RlbGluaXQgYSAmPi9kZXYvbnVsbAorCQllZW5kIDAKKwlmaQorCiB9CiAK IHN0b3AoKSB7Cg==
