To make Ubuntu boot directly to console and not X, you have to do the following:

1) Open /etc/default/grub in your favorite text editor as root (e.g. "gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub")

2) Locate the following line:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

3) Replace "quiet splash" with "text" (i.e., GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text" )

4) Save the file

5) Run the following command:

sudo update-grub
