This is very handy when you need to upgrade graphics drivers etc.

1. Edit the Grub config file

  sudo vim /etc/default/grub

Make the following changes:

  a) Comment the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash”
  b) Change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”text”
  c) Uncomment this line #GRUB_TERMINAL=console

2. Update the Grub config

  sudo update-grub

The system will now boot directly into text mode.

To go back to graphical mode, just reverse thse changes.
