How to disable GDM server on hardware?

Question

linux

Inspired by this article:

To run XDMCP/VNC and GDM on a headless server (VDS), you need to comment out the line:
0=Standard device=/dev/console
In Ubuntu 9.2 (Habr), this is done in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf;
On Debian Squeeze, this is done in /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf.

I have Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS. There are no such configuration files in these paths.
Where to comment? Thank you.

Answer 5

Here. Now see if there is such a line in custom.conf?
If not, then the config is probably in Init /

Answer 7

#0=Standard device=/dev/console
Problem solved, line already commented out)

Answer 8

Unfortunately no. Custom.conf is generated by this tutorial:
library.gnome.org/admin/gdm/stable/configuration.html.en
for experimentation

Answer 9

Well then, since there is no config, no instruction is written anywhere, so it does not need to be commented.
I'm not a gdm master, try locate gdm.conf, maybe you have this config in another place.

Answer 10

And so, in theory, defaults.conf is not a config, but just a file with examples of “what this custom.conf can be”

Answer 11

5.4. Daemon Configuration
The GDM daemon is configured using the /gdm/custom.conf file. Default values ​​are stored in GConf in the gdm.schemas file. It is recommended that end-users modify the /gdm/custom.conf file because the schemas file may be overwritten when the user updates their system to have a newer version of GDM.
Written in that manual. Those. config == custom.conf.
Line commented out == problem solved.
