My question

I am not attached to the splashscreen or whatever. How can I configure a non-graphical boot that still takes me to the login screen? In other words, I do want X to start as the last thing in the boot process, but I do not need any other tools (plymouth or userspace bootsplash or whatever).

My problem

I get a blank/purple screen at undefined times when use the battery or when I have used it. I have a Lenovo Easypad z580. At times the problem also occurs after a suspend. In that case it states something like userspace bootsplash stopped.

My research

I read and tried the solutions in the following pages:

  1. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/BlankScreen
  2. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze
  3. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/NonGraphicalBoot
  4. My computer boots to a black screen, what options do I have to fix it?

I already disabled plymouth.

I do not think that this question is a duplicate (because I want a non-graphical boot, yet a graphical desktop). But I might be mistaking. Also my scenario is none of the ones proposed in My computer boots to a black screen, what options do I have to fix it? (If you are trying to install Ubuntu, If you have a dual boot system, If an update or something else caused your problem).

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Uncomment GRUB_TERMINAL="console"

And remove quiet splash from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT

then issue sudo update-grub. This will disable graphical boot.
