Disable GUI at boot time

Question

I want to disable GUI at boot time. I followed these steps:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text"

sudo update-grub

but nothing happened! I can access GUI remotely using xrdp. What I'm missing here?

If you want to disable splash screen, you should delete quiet splash and leave "". http://askubuntu.com/questions/33416/how-do-i-disable-the-boot-splash-screen-and-only-show-kernel-and-boot-text-inst — desgua, May 04 '14 at 21:34

May be you make a mistake. You should put the option "text" at GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" (not to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="") (1)

Thanks! turns out that remote access (xrdp) still use GUI even if it's disabled! – Shadin May 05 '14 at 07:47
So you have to uninstall it? – desgua May 05 '14 at 10:39
