Revision history [back]

There is a way, but it depends on what you want to do instead.

At the grub selection, hit e and then move the cursor down to the line starting with linux. At the end of that line append the nunber 3, and hist x to continue booting.

When the system comes up you will get a login prompt; log in and the run the command

 systemctl set-default multi-user.target

After that you won't start gdm (or any other display manager) when booting.
