Hey mates,
If I do edit that line to make it [id:5:initdefault:], then the system will always start with the text, multi-user with networking mode only [runlevel 3], without me having to press Ctrl+Alt+F1... in other words, gnome and GDE in general will not be started...
So after I log in to the console using runlevel 3, how can I start the Gnome DE in order to resume graphica functionality? what would be the steps?
