I want to change my desktop. How do I disable xorg, so that It won't start after booting the system so that I can change the desktop.

change the on to off in
/etc/ttys

Code:

ttyv8    "/usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon"    xterm    off secure

and comment out any X related lines in /etc/rc.conf

cat /etc/ttys

Code:

#
# $FreeBSD: releng/12.1/sbin/init/ttys.amd64 338454 2018-09-04 15:48:13Z brd $
#    @(#)ttys    5.1 (Berkeley) 4/17/89
#
# This file specifies various information about terminals on the system.
# It is used by several different programs.  Common entries for the
# various columns include:
#
# name  The name of the terminal device.
#
# getty The program to start running on the terminal.  Typically a
#       getty program, as the name implies.  Other common entries
#       include none, when no getty is needed, and xdm, to start the
#       X Window System.
#
# type The initial terminal type for this port.  For hardwired
#      terminal lines, this will contain the type of terminal used.
#      For virtual consoles, the correct type is typically xterm.
#      Other common values include dialup for incoming modem ports, and
#      unknown when the terminal type cannot be predetermined.
#
# status Must be on or off.  If on, init will run the getty program on
#        the specified port.  If the word "secure" appears, this tty
#        allows root login.
#
# name    getty                type    status        comments
#
# If console is marked "insecure", then init will ask for the root password
# when going to single-user mode.
console    none                unknown    off secure
#
ttyv0    "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"        xterm    onifexists secure
# Virtual terminals
ttyv1    "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"        xterm    onifexists secure
ttyv2    "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"        xterm    onifexists secure

ttyv6    "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"        xterm    onifexists secure
ttyv7    "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"        xterm    onifexists secure
ttyv8    "/usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon"    xterm    off secure
# Serial terminals
# The 'dialup' keyword identifies dialin lines to login, fingerd etc.
ttyu0    "/usr/libexec/getty 3wire"    vt100    onifconsole secure
ttyu1    "/usr/libexec/getty 3wire"    vt100    onifconsole secure
ttyu2    "/usr/libexec/getty 3wire"    vt100    onifconsole secure
ttyu3    "/usr/libexec/getty 3wire"    vt100    onifconsole secure
# Dumb console
dcons    "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"    vt100    off secure

should I disable everything including but not limited to ttyu?

No. Please, post your /etc/rc.conf content, or if you can't, delete(comment out) any lines like these:

Code:

dbus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
sddm_enable="YES"
gdm_enable="YES"
gnome_enable="YES"

and if for whatever reason it failed, rename these files to something else:
~/.xinitrc
~/.xsession

I don't see any xorg related command

cat rc.conf

Code:

hostname="localhost"
ifconfig_re0="DHCP"
sshd_enable="YES"
# Set dumpdev to "AUTO" to enable crash dumps, "NO" to disable
dumpdev="AUTO"
kld_list="/boot/modules/i915kms.ko"
dbus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
sddm_enable="YES"
snd_hda_load="YES"

a6h · May 30, 2020

Remove snd_hda_load from /etc/rc.conf and put it in /boot/loader.conf (I don't think you need it at all)
/boot/loader.conf

Code:

snd_hda_load="YES"

and remove these lines from /etc/rc.conf

Code:

dbus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
sddm_enable="YES"
snd_hda_load="YES"

Thanks a lot. It worked.

a6h · May 30, 2020

Also add thses three lines to /etc/rc.conf

Code:

ntpdate_enable="YES"
ntpd_enable="YES"
ntpd_sync_on_start="YES"

I hope none of those three lines are redundant. It doesn't hurt, but some clarification from other users is appreciated.

Leave dbus_enable="YES" in there. Lots of applications (not just KDE itself) use it.

If your system does not run for days or weeks, you don't need a NTP daemon, it's enough to get the correct time once.
To safely edit your /etc/rc.conf (avoid typos), use sysrc(8), e.g.

 

# sysrc -v ntpd_enable

# sysrc -x ntpd_enable

# sysrc -d -x ntpd_sync_on_start

# sysrc ntpdate_enable=YES

# sysrc kld_load+=snd_hda

console    none                unknown    off [B]secure[/B]

out of subjet..but
for security tip change it to "insecure"
