how do i prevent ubuntu from starting GUI automaticaly?

Question

i am looking for a way to start my GUI manually when ubuntu loads something like back-track which you login in first using command-line then type startx then GUI starts to running

It's something that depends strictly on hardware and drivers. Probably you have too see http://askubuntu.com/questions/22108/how-to-control-fan-speed — Valerio Bozz, Sep 16 '14 at 09:33
@ValerioBozz How to not start X11 automatically does not depend on hardware and drivers, and also has nothing to do with controlling fan speed. Did you mean to post this on a different question? — Eliah Kagan, Sep 16 '14 at 12:04

You can disable It by using

sudo update-rc.d -f lightdm remove

The above commmand will remove the lightdm symlinks in the various runlevel init directories e.g. /etc/rc0.d, rcS.d, rc2.d etc..

Now after every login you need to enter startx command mannually to start GUI.

To enble it type

sudo update-rc.d -f lightdm defaults
