Hi,Gnome starts? Or gdm starts, allowing you to login at which time Gnome starts?
Having typed: "update-alternatives --config x-session-manager" and choosen GNOME, GNOME now starts up on reboot. I'd like it not to so that I can type "startx" when I want it to go into GNOME. How can I force it not to launch GNOME on reboot?
If the former, then you've done some magic somewhere regarding bypassing of login, etc. If the latter, then you just need to disable/uninstall gdm.
You can uninstall it with "apt-get --purge remove gdm", which is probably what you want to do, to permanently (until you reinstall it) change this behavior.
To disable it, there are several things you can do. My personal fave is to add the single line "exit 0" as the first executable (after the first several lines of comments) to "/etc/init.d/gdm".
You can also kill gdm on a boot-by-boot basis by shelling out to a VT (Ctrl-Alt-F2 from within the gdm login screen) and running "/etc/init.d/gdm stop".
