I can not boot directly into Text Mode in 14.10

Question

I want my Ubuntu 14.10 system to boot directly into command line, so I changed the grub file in (/etc/default/grub) like this :

(#)GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet”

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”text”

GRUB_TERMINAL=console

But the only think that has changed is I don't have the purple color anymore on the start :p .

What is (#) supposed to do? To comment the line just place # before any other character. Did you followed this steps? — Lucio, Oct 30 '14 at 16:50
Yeah it's just # I put () to not influence the text, of course as you can see. (update-grub) also ... — adrianlouis, Oct 30 '14 at 17:06
