Hi,

Your concern is a bit confusing. Initially, I though you would like to use your machine in 'text mode only'. To do this, you would just need to edit /etc/inittab file and modify the default runlevel from 5 to 3 (multi-user and networking enabled cli).

But then you would like to

With 'text mode only', do u mean no GUI at all? Or would you like to just open up a 'text mode' terminal and launch GUI apps as well?

Ubuntu, like most Debian derivatives, uses a different scheme for runlevels, all runlevels from 2 to 5 are the same. If you want to disable booting to GUI you have to disable the service for your display manager (on standard Ubuntu LightDM).

@rohaanembedded: What you want is not possible for usual GUI apps, only the small number that is able to use svgalib (maybe using SDL) is able to do that. You will have to start a graphical environment to run GUI apps.
