Date: 2023mar16 Language: bash Keywords: runlevel, target Q. Systemd: switch to text mode A. To switch to text-mode (from graphical mode):
systemctl isolate multi-user.target
Sometimes that doesn't work so you need to do
systemctl set-default multi-user.target reboot
Then, of course, change it back to graphical (if you want) when done
systemctl set-default graphical.target reboot
