A year ago, due to a persistent GUI crashing, I disabled the GUI at boot by altering the line below in /etc/default/grub and did a update-grub: from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="Text"
I then use startx to start GUI. I'm using /usr/bin/gnome-session.
After the issue was resolved, I tried to reverse back to boot to GUI, by reversing the above change, and update-grub. But the system still only boot to console, and I have to run startx to start Gnome. As a result, I cannot lock the screen at suspend under GUI. It does suspend. But when I press the power button, or open the lid, it restore the original session. So I ended up having to shutdown the GUI session, and exit from the console to log off.
What could I have missed? thanks for any insight?
