Does anyone have a solution to get out of the GUI for Linux? I've done some searching but none of the methods work.
Tried sudo, as well.
I logged in as root, and "init 3" "telinit 3" does not work.
cliff@Linux-VB:~$ init 3 init: Need to be root cliff@Linux-VB:~$ su init 3 Unknown id: init cliff@Linux-VB:~$ telinit 3 telinit: Need to be root cliff@Linux-VB:~$ su telinit 3 Unknown id: telinit
Tried sudo, as well.

In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.

Do you not want the GUI to start? Or do you want a "terminal" by itself. For just a terminal, hit "Control" and "Alt" together, followed by "f2". -

Thanks. Ctrl+Alt+Fx, was what I was looking for! +repIn order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.

'/sbin/telinit 3 && killall X' should do the trick as well but switching virtual terminals will work better if you want to get back to a gui instantly.
