I just installed Ubuntu server 12.04 x86 on a virtual device (I'm using VirtualBox) and I executed the following commands: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg and sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and it works fine, but I am a beginner and do not know how to terminate Xserver. (Terminate it, not just pressing ctrl + alt + f1 to use the command line) Can you help me with that? I was doing some googleing and found a command : sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop but it says it can't find the command. Any other ways?

After switching to another tty (ctrl + alt + f1), run
sudo service lightdm stop
Ubuntu uses lightdm instead of gdm now.
