Boot to shell with Ubuntu MATE 15.04 on Raspberry PI 2

Is it possible to boot to the terminal? I've tried to look for a grub file but I could not find it. Also /boot/firmware/config.txt does not seem to have such option.

Solution

  • Thanks to Rohith Madhavan and AceFace on Ubuntu-mate bitbucket issues:

    You can boot to shell using the following commands:

    systemctl set-default multi-user.target --force
systemctl disable lightdm.service --force
systemctl disable graphical.target --force
systemctl disable plymouth.service --force

    Replace disable with enable to boot with GUI again.
