Disabling GUI on Ubuntu startup

Posted By SteelRat On 30.07.2011 @ 15:48 In Ubuntu | No Comments

The default graphical login manager begin to launch on startup after I have installed Xubuntu-desktop on my Ubuntu server. But I need the startup directly to the terminal. So I have found the way to load it during startup.
Follow these steps:

  1. Open file /etc/default/grub with your favorite text editor (example: sudo gedit /etc/default/grub).
  2. Find line with parameter GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”…” (there will be something instead of ellipses).
  3. Append “text” word with whitespace after the last word in brackets (example: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash text”).
  4. Update GRUB: sudo update-grub.
  5. Reboot your machine.
