Thank you but it's not so simple
cat preferences
Package: lightdm
Pin: version *
Pin-Priority: -1
Package: lightdm-gtk-greeter
Pin: version *
Pin-Priority: -1
Package: nano
Pin: version *
Pin-Priority: -1
this work fine for lightdm and lightdm-gtk-greeter but not for nano.
(I use vim)
On the other hand after the boot time I am well in console, but when I hit
the login and the password, I don't stay in the console, xwindow starts automaticaly.
This is not what I want and remove lightdm have no use to me. I don't understand
why xwindow start automatically.
