SUSE 13.2 GRUB Configuration FIle

Question

I just installed OpenSuse to learn it. I'd like to open the system in runtime 3 mode. According to the documentation I have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst file.

Unfortunately this file does not exist on my system. Does anybody know why please? I need to do this to install my nvidia drivers, as X has not to be running while doing so.

Thanks.

Maybe you could stop X, install from char console, and then restart. To stop it, you had to stop the corresponding service with a system command (ideally from char console). You can switch to char console with alt/ctrl/f1 (and step back to X with alt/ctrl/f7 or alt/ctrl/f8). — peterh, Nov 09 '14 at 00:04

Check /etc/inittab

$ grep -A1 default /etc/inittab 
# The default runlevel.
id:2:initdefault:

Adjust from 2 to 3 and that should be it.

There is no inittab in suse, it uses long systemd. – peterh Nov 08 '14 at 20:23
then maybe this link will help you adjust runlevel on system with systemd http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/FrequentlyAskedQuestions/ – Hrvoje Špoljar Nov 08 '14 at 20:49
Yes, it is about systemd, but nothing from inittab. Although maybe it were useful for the asker. – peterh Nov 09 '14 at 00:04
The correct answer was to run the command: Init 3 – Adam Nov 11 '14 at 17:47
