This tutorial shows how to configure your ubuntu 9.10 and make it directly boot into console/command line instead of X-window.
Step1:Just edit /etc/default/grub with your favourite editor:
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
find out this line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash”
change it to:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash text”
Step2:
Update grub and done!
sudo update-grub

Hello. I am following this instructions and I’m getting the text based console as I want but before getting it I am watching a graphical splash screen (black background with the Ubuntu’s logo in the middle).
Does it means that its loading GDM and then killing it ? I would like to avoid any automatic load of X/Gnome and only load it when I ask it using startx or service commands.
Thank you for helping me.

I experimented a little more by myself and I found that the “splash screen” wasn’t from GDM but the Grub’s splash screen activated by the second parameter of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT.
Thank you.

When I do this, sound no longer works in X.

lol! I first thought “what a moron” but he is absolutely right…I have no sound either anymore
…
open “terminal”, type “sudo users-admin”, select your user, click “properties”, change to tab “user priviliges”, check “use audio devices”.
Logout, login or reboot.
