Quick googling:
http://www.techienote.com/2012/01/disable-gui-boot-in-ubuntu-11-10.html

	Basically you need to use update-rc.d to remove the 'lightdm' (for new
ubuntu distributions) graphical login links from the system startup.
	All the rest from that tutorial is to disable the ubuntu graphical
splash at boot.
	Which distribution are you using, do you know which gui login interface
is installed?
