    I'm not expert on Linux, so I apologize for my question in advance.
    I searched everywhere but I have not been able to find the way to avoid X system to start on UDOO quad.
    Could please someone help me? TY.

    I'm not familiar with upstart, i don't know if this is the correct way but for me it worked.

    I solved this problem editing the file
    Code:
    /etc/init/lightdm.conf
    appending a row with the word
    Code:
    manual
    I found the solution here:
    http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#manual

    After that, if you want to launch manually the graphic system you can use
    Code:
    start lightdm

    Thank you Nicola, I will give it a try tomorow.
    In the meanwhile I can say that at least I discovered that it exists upstart (something completely new for a newbie like me :) !

    Someone in other forum suggested to remove lighdm, obviously this is not a very clean solution (but it works).
