How do I go about changing the init level to 3 on ubuntu 10.04?!? Where is the old inittab file? Do I need to make? I want to boot to a console. Thank you all!

Ubuntu doesn't really use init anymore; it uses Upstart instead. But the last time I checked, the old init calls were still supported. Are you not able to change to runlevel 3 by typing:
Code:sudo init 3

Yes, but I would like to do this during the boot process. Is their a way? i have created an inittab file and put in the one liner that use to work in previous versions. But it still boots to GUI. Thank you!

Do the following to modify the upstart runlevel to 3. Problem solved!
Tech78i
in /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf:
env DEFAULT_RUNLEVEL=3
in /etc/init/gdm.conf:
start on (filesystem
and started hal
and tty-device-added KERNEL=tty7
and (graphics-device-added or stopped udevtrigger)
and runlevel [!3])
stop on runlevel [016]
