Hi again guys.
I have my little el-cheapo laptop server running like a champ, but I've been trying to get it to boot in text only mode to no avail.
I can boot without a desktop running this command I found in the interwebz
and back to desktop mode by running...
Problem is I get no terminal to work with, I've tried the usual Alt+T shortcut and a bunch of others too. The screen stays black with a flashing cursor.
I can access it via SSH, but I fear someday the LAN connection might fail and I'd be unable to recover it
Here's my /etc/default/grub
Also ideally I'd like to have an extra option in the GRUB menu to choose from text mode or graphical mode. Can it be done?
Thanks
