Disable GUI for ubuntu 14.04 Desktop

Problem:

How can I set ubuntu14.04 to start in text mode?

Solution:

Modify the configuration file of GRUB (it is not recommended to change grub. conf directly)

$ Sudo vim/etc/default/grub

Find GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT = "quiet splash", which should be in row 11th.

Copy the row and replace quiet splash with text.

Comment out this line (to avoid having to know how to change it back later ).

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT = "text"

Run the sudo update-grub command and restart the instance.

$ Sudo update-grub; sudo reboot

After restart, you can directly access the text interface.
