ehmmm.....

yup...what kons stated above is right....ubuntu not using the normal runlevel as other linux...

i had checked that in all runlevel 2 - 5 had S13gdm to start gdm while runlevel 0,1 and 6 had K01gdm to stop gdm!

inittab is also not needed...but after i copy the inittab...it is still used by the system...except that no matter what runlevel you set as default..the system still booting to GUI...in my case gnome...

as for my solution.. i had to ctrl-alt-F1 to go to console and stop the gdm manually, with sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop...

to think about it, it's so weird that ubuntu choose to ditch the normal default behaviour of runlevel....but after much thinking about it, it's all come to place...ubuntu want to be a Desktop Replacement OS of choice (replacing windows!!)...soo making sure all runlevel had GUI is the only way to say that IT want to be the Desktop OS!!!!

this is the thing that we have to err, compromise (for ubuntu that is)....emmm...maybe i just should delete the symbolic link in my prefer runlevel and stop whining about it....

thanks kons and all....

dont do spelling mistake deliberately.

Errm.. grub/menu.lst ; lastime i tried to edit the menu.lst

and edit on the name OS and default OS to be loaded..
but i noticed, i unable to save it...
hmm...

i will try one more time after this..

if you are unable to save it, check the file properties, the username/group which you are in, must have at least write access to the file in order to save the modifications.

try check your /boot is mounted with write permission or not....

in /etc/fstab

- sudo to perform command as super user

- simply create new user :

$useradd -gusers -Gstaff -s/bin/bash -pxxxxxxx -d/home/yourname -m yourname

* -g = group "users"
* -G = other group "staff"
* -s = shell dir "/bin/bash"
* -p = password
* -d = home directory "/home/yourname"
* -m = create directory if dont have for yourname

Set new users ID, expire date & etc as below..

$usermod -u2233 -e2008-05-31 yourname

* -u = user ID "2233"
* -e = expired date "YYYY-MM-DD"

Notes:
1)Perform both command as root
2)Make sure both groups must exist if necessary!:
$groupadd users
$groupadd staff

hey guys, im planning to dual boot my laptop.
So, i have a clean partition to install ubuntu,
what kind of file system is recommended
for the partition? NTFS or FAT32?

at the top there, got line like "default X", where X stand for a number.

just change the X to ur window position in grub.

0 for 1st, 1 for 2nd and so on...

yeash! finally i make it.. the prob is, i have to #sudo su first...
than i able to save it.. what laaa

Added on May 8, 2007, 4:42 amNTFS and FAT32 is for windows..
i believe u must have seen the 'ext2, ext3 and swap linux" in ur partition s.ware..

so, for linux os u have to format ur disk as ext2 or ext3. Than, dont forget about swap linux partition..
