Once reboot is done, login via console and issue the following command if you need GUI once again. Once you’ve deleted gdm3 from run-level, then reboot. Nothing to worry, we can revert it back easily. Issue the following command to delete gdm3 from run-level. So let’s move on and disable gdm3 from loading. If you’re running KDE Desktop, you might have to look for KDM service. In here, we are particularly interested in gdm3 service. Once you’ve installed chkconfig, use the following command to check run-level status of all running services. Ln -s /usr/sbin/gdm3 /usr/bin/start Check current status of gdm3
#Startx command not found kali install#
Issue the following commands to install chkconfig package and soft-link gdm3 with startx. You can achieve the same with the following Install chkconfig package and link gdm3 with startx Once you’ve done making the changes, your Kali Linux login will be similar to the screenshot above (el classico BackTrack command line login) Quickest Method It’s just more safer and quicker in every sense. But in case you want to disable KDM at startup, use the first method (aka Quickest Method) to achieve that. If you’re using KDE, I am assuming you don’t want it disabled cause you’re enjoying your shiny Desktop too much.
#Startx command not found kali how to#
In both method, I’ve shown how to disable gdm3 which is default in Kali Linux GNOME Desktop.

The first one is possibly the safest if you’re not too sure what you’re expecting, the second way if slightly more advanced (well, not much but you need some Linux command understanding to run Kali Linux anyway). Nothing to worry… in this guide I will demonstrate 2 different ways of reverting your Kali Linux Login to classic BackTrack command line login. You type in something, and get an output few seconds later. If you’re using an old laptop or an old Desktop that doesn’t have a powerful graphics card, running Kali Linux with GNOME (gdm3) Desktop is wasting valuable CPU and Memory and making your already dying hardware slower. The whole idea of command line login was to get a fast and quick access to a system where you can perform some task as quickly as possible and waste time and resources on Window or Desktop Manager. If you were too used to Backtrack Linux and want to revert your Kali Linux Login to classic Backtrack command line login, then you’re not alone.
