To Change the Graphic boot to Text mode on startup all you need to do is modify your /etc/init/
In my case I was trying to do this with gdm.cfg based on many google results however, I missed a crucial point that I had selected another Display Manager lightdm. After trying few things I finally realized the mistake. So here is the snippet from /etc/init/lightdm.cfg (This should be same for gdm as well in gdm.cfg):
start on ((filesystemYou can change the runlevel in
and runlevel [!026]
and started dbus
and (drm-device-added card0 PRIMARY_DEVICE_FOR_DISPLAY=1
or stopped udev-fallback-graphics))
or runlevel PREVLEVEL=S)
stop on runlevel [016]
stop on runlevel [016]but I didn't find it necessary, just changing it in start on section did the job.

So what exactly did you change in that file? I don't see a diff.
Added Level 2 in the start list.
Thanks. I found other links such as http://askubuntu.com/questions/92276/how-do-i-boot-into-true-text-mode . But they did not work. Your approach worked.
