<p>The command <code>sudo service gdm stop</code> would successfully disable the X server in Ubuntu 11.04 temporarily. </p> <p>However, this same command no longer works in Ubuntu 11.10, because "gdm" is an "unrecognized service" according to Terminal. How, then, do I disable the X server in Ubuntu 11.10?</p>
