Can you boot to a shell without starting GNOME?
- bo1024 7y agoI wouldn't rule it out but I don't know how to. I guess you would need a keyboard connected via USB to be able to input in that scenario
- beatgammit 7y agoWouldn't you just disable the display server like any other Linux OS? I'm sure they're using systems, so it just just be: > sudo systemctl disable phosh.service Or something like that. I'm sure it would be pretty easy with a bit of fiddling. However, you're right that you'd probably need a keyboard plugged in because the default TTY probably doesn't have a soft keyboard.
- arminiusreturns 7y agoI use a Logitech K780 bluetooth keyboard when working on my phone, I got it mostly because of the nice phone/tablet standing slot, so there is that option as well.
- curioussavage 7y agoI’m pretty sure one of the community members got an onscreen keyboard working for this use case
