All the things that you used to have in the /etc/inittab is ported to upstart's /etc/event.d/.
It might take some of time to get used to the way upstart manage things in your computer, For example, the settings for 'tty3' is located in '/etc/event.d/tty3' if you need to change it's parameter, and rc scripts on rc*.
But you can simply enter:
# init 3
if X is still running:
# ps -ef |grep X
or
# pkill X
You should then be able to do whatever you need!
I have been trying to edit my "inittab" file in /etc so I can boot to run level 3 and install the nvidia driver on my XPS M1730 but even with hidden files showing I can't find it?!?!%#$!Grrrrr :-(I tried going to System > Administration > Hardware drivers and while it shows me the driver 1.73 and 1.80 each time I try to enable them I get and error that displays just a red dot with a white line and no text.I have the shell installer for the latest driver and just want to run it that way outside of X to fix this. Oh and CTRL+ALT+F3 to get to a TTY and trying to SU my way to root fails because the shell notices X is not actually closed.HelpBrian
