nvidia - How can I disable graphical boot, yet start x during boot?

I am not attached to the splashscreen or whatever. How can I configure a non-graphical boot that still takes me to the login screen? In other words, I do want X to start as the last thing in the boot process, but I do not need any other tools (plymouth or userspace bootsplash or whatever).


I get a blank/purple screen at undefined times when use the battery or when I have used it. I have a Lenovo Easypad z580. At times the problem also occurs after a suspend. In that case it states something like userspace bootsplash stopped.


I read and tried the solutions in the following pages:



  1. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/BlankScreen

  2. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze

  3. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/NonGraphicalBoot

  4. My computer boots to a black screen, what options do I have to fix it?


I already disabled plymouth.


I do not think that this question is a duplicate (because I want a non-graphical boot, yet a graphical desktop). But I might be mistaking. Also my scenario is none of the ones proposed in My computer boots to a black screen, what options do I have to fix it? (If you are trying to install Ubuntu, If you have a dual boot system, If an update or something else caused your problem).
