usequins 0 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Hello all, I recently got an orange pi pc plus, and am going to try to use it as a server. However, I do not want it to boot into the desktop GUI as this wastes precious computational resources. How do I force the Pi to boot into the terminal? I am using armbian in order to have the system boot off of the EMMC flash memory. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true at all but if you fear a starting desktop environment then do it as outlined in documentation or simply by systemctl stop nodm systemctl disable nodm in a shell as root. I'm currently doing consumption monitoring and the difference between an idling X Windows and no X Windows is not able to be measured. At least as long as you use Armbian defaults Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
