Running updated forcal-fossa
I want to boot to console/text mode and later call startx if I want X.
Found the directions for doing that except its for 14.?? from the
handbook and made the modifications suggested there, in
/etc/default/grub. Then ran `update-grub'
/etc/default/grub

When I rebooted, I do get to see the boot messages but the boot ends
up at the greeter login screen in X so when I log in I'm in X when I
should be in console(text) Mode.
I want to end up in console mode with a text login and no X.
What else do I need to do for that to happen?
Hi Harry,
I think what else you need is to tweak systemd as described in the
following link,
https://askubuntu.com/questions/854013/how-to-boot-to-text-only-mode-problem-with-laptop-with-nvidia-gpu/854026#854026
If your desktop uses systemd, and I am rather sure it does (Ubuntu 15.04
or later), there is one additional step needed. That is to change the
default target from "graphical" target to "multi-user" target. Skip this
step if your desktop does not use systemd.
sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target
At this point, your desktop should boot into the command line when you
reboot it.
-o-
You can always revert to desktop boot later by restoring GRUB config
file and running:
sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target
Best regards
Nio
