You haven't provided your meaning for "text mode". Greg and Michael's replies answer how to stop booting to a GUI login manager. If instead what you wish is to avoid seeing any GUI effects, but do want to see boot messages from kernel and scripts as init proceeds, you need to ensure they have not been turned off by quiet or splash parameters on the kernel cmdline. Also, Plymouth may have been installed, which is a more sophisticated form of GUI splash during boot. Maybe all you need to do is purge Plymouth, and/or eliminate quiet and/or splash from your kernel cmdline (purge them from both GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= and GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= in /etc/default/grub, then run update-grub). -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
