Not quite. Single-user mode is useless if you need network connectivuty. That's the purpose of it, disabling all devices and getting to a bare running command prompt. If you instead want to work on the system *WITH* the network enabled, then a text-only runlevel is needed. Also, if you want to leave the system headless and only run GUI applications remotely, it's foolish to have a GUI running at the console.
But as I had pointed out YEARS ago when first describing this bug; if you have hardware that will need some custom tweaking, you will need network connectivity **AND** no GUI running. I know, with the headlong lemming-rush towards Wayland, the idea that someone may need to work on a text-only system is completely alien. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/14644 Title: Runlevel 2 starting GUI To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/14644/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
