How can I deactivate the gnome desktop of my ubuntu server?
- by 19 Lee
I'm running a home server on my old laptop (atom cpu).
I installed ubuntu 12.04 server edition, but I also installed ubuntu-desktop.
So, when I turn it on, ubuntu desktop is shown.
I sometimes use GUI, but I want to turn the ubuntu-desktop (gnome-desktop) off when I don't use it.
I think I can save resources by turning off the GUI.
It's necessary since my laptop's performance is not very good and it often becomes very hot.
I guess I can run ubuntu-desktop on my terminal with "startx" command.
But, I don't know how to turn the X window off for a moment.
Anybody have an idea?
Thanks in advance.
