    It's possible alright. It may not be easy but it can be done. I would say you'd need to remove xdm from default runlevel, if Ubuntu uses that, I don't know.
    I do not respond to private messages asking for Linux help, Please keep it on the forums only.

    It's easy to disable GUI in Ubuntu.

    Set GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" in /etc/default/grub file.
    Edit /etc/init/gdm.conf file. Replace this line
    Code:
    stop on runlevel [016]
    with this one
    Code:
    stop on runlevel [0126]
    Save file and reboot machine.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
