Disabling graphics interface (<strong>debian</strong>) - 96Boards

Disabling graphics interface (debian)

When the graphics interface is not really needed (e.g. using as a server), it’s just better to disable the entire X11 stack to reduce the amount of memory and cpu used by the system.

To disable X11 on boot:

root@linaro-alip:~# systemctl set-default multi-user.target

To enable X11 again:

root@linaro-alip:~# systemctl set-default graphical.target
