Initially I had the gnome desktop installed and found the graphics card could not support it. I uninstalled the desktop. Now it boots into X graphics mode. How do I make it to boot into CLI mode?

gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
Change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text"
sudo update-grub
If you are using 11.10 or later you have lightDM we need to stop it from starting.
sudo update-rc.d -f lightdm remove
