Start in Console mode

[markdjones82]

Hi,
Is there a way to tell PMS to start in console mode automatically? I used to get this message when running headless on my Opensuse

GUI environment not available
Switching to console mode

But I don't get it anymore and it may be from updates? It works fine in gui mode when I run my NX server, but when trying to start from runlevel 3 cli it just hangs now.

ANy help?

Its a bit of a hack.. probably a bad workaround, but I noticed that if I run ./PMS.sh though SSH it runs in console mode by default.

I just ssh into my local machine and run it, heh

maybe there is something in the configuration file that will do it the propery way though.

I am SSH'ed in and it didn't work. I noticed if I run as root it does do it but not as my user. So must be some sort of permission issue, but i'm just running it as root right now

The code is a bit difficult for me to grasp, but here is how PMS decides to go headless or not.

I am hoping that:

Code: Select all

PMS.sh console

will fire up PMS in console mode.
It all hinges on whether or not "GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless()" returns true from what I can tell.
