   Unfortunately, This command no longer take effect for Ubuntu 11.04. Instead, you could do like below:

   sudo vim /etc/default/grub

   change the following lines:
   GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash”
   GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”"

   to:

   # GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash”
   GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”text”

   user@ubuntu:~#sudo update-grub
   user@ubuntu:~#sudo reboot

   enjoy text mode only

   BTW, in text mode, you can invoke “startx” command to enter graphic mode.
