Gnome to XFCE
I have a computer called "alexandria". Usually I log in via SSH. I
only log in at the console when it's broken so that networking doesn't
work, and even then I almost always use a text console. So I very
rarely need X, but still want it there to use if I need it. However it
would be nice if the login screen weren't using up resources. I'd be
completely fine with logging in by startx.
To that end, I used aptitude to install the meta-package "xfce", and
during installation it asked me whether I wanted to use lightdm or gdm3,
and I picked lightdm.
What do I need to uninstall to make gnome gone? Then, what do I need to
do to make X not use lightdm? On this machine I did "chmod 0
/usr/sbin/lightdm" which works, but probably isn't the right way. Thanks.
