I have tried to remove desktop interface on my Linux (Ubuntu 16.04) PC and replace initial screen (desktop & application launcher) with the command line interface and launch guy application from command line. I got some errors messages and gui application not Launched when I removed it. Is there any solution to do this?.

    It’s hard to solve errors without their error messages, so please edit and provide them.

  • It's common to see GUI app error messages when called from the command line. They happen when called from desktop too you just don't see them.
