Ubuntu 11.04 text mode
 

Hey, I just upgraded 10.10(32bit) to 11.04(32bit) and I'm trying to boot in text mode only, but it doesn't happen. I searched everywhere I could think of. How can I boot in text only? Thanks!

solution should be in here: http://www.debianadmin.com/debian-an...un-levels.html

Runlevels dont't work out. I tried to put 'text' in the menuentry at the and of the line that begins with 'linux' in the grub.cfg file, but booting stops at 'checking battery state'.

Got it now. That was too easy, but it took me some time.

user@ubuntu:~#sudo nano /etc/default/grub


change the following lines:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text"

to:

# GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text"

user@ubuntu:~#sudo update-grub
user@ubuntu:~#sudo reboot


enjoy text mode only
