Ok,<br><br>==============================================<br>There is not /etc/inittab file in Ubuntu because Ubuntu uses<br>
/etc/event.d/rc-default file<br>

You can fix this problem by editing /etc/event.d/rc-default file<br>
First backup file,<br>
Code:<br>

sudo cp /etc/event.d/rc-default /etc/event.d/rc-default.bakup<br>

Open vi /etc/event.d/rc-default<br>
Code:<br>

sudo vi /etc/event.d/rc-default<br>

Find all lines read as - telinit 2 and replace with telinit 3<br>
Code:<br>

telinit 3<br>

Reboot the system<br>==============================================<br><br>Every time I used either &quot;sudo vi,&quot; &quot;sudo gedit&quot; or even forcing my way into &quot;su&quot; did not stop the OS from resetting the telinit back to 2?!?!!?<br>
<br>==============================================<br><p>But you can simply enter:<br># init 3<br>if X is still running:<br># ps -ef |grep X<br>or<br># pkill X</p>You should then be able to do whatever you need!<br><br>
==============================================<br>I logged into root in terminal and the init 3 worked both commands to stop X both caused Ubuntu to auto reboot X argh!  I know these commands would work, but when I went to Upstart their wiki was no help in trying to make something stick so I can get into Run Level that does not use X so I can install the driver.<br>
