It’s been a while since I disabled the X org services etc.
I need to boot my TK1 into “console” mode only. No X, Unity etc.
Maybe make X optional? StartX?
If you can show what what to murder I’d appreciate it!
Thanks

The most simplest way on the board is leave the HDMI port unplugged.
I found this worked for me:
from a root shell
echo “manual” > /etc/init/failsafe-x.override
echo “manual” > /etc/init/lightdm.override
On reboot, X will not be started.
Can stop it with
$ sudo systemctl stop lightdm.service
Can prevent it from starting at boot with
$ sudo systemctl mask lightdm.service
Re-enable start at boot with
$ sudo systemctl unmask lightdm.service
The method suggested by @richc2 does work but is harder to revert and isn’t really part of systemd. It seems better to use regular systemd commands.
