Initially I had the gnome desktop installed and found the graphics card could not support it. I uninstalled the desktop. Now it boots into X graphics mode. How do I make it to boot into CLI mode?

gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub

Change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text"

sudo update-grub

If you are using 11.10 or later you have lightDM we need to stop it from starting.

sudo update-rc.d -f lightdm remove
