[SOLVED] Ubuntu 11.04 text mode

yovkoi · 05-27-2011, 02:35 AM

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!

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
