    Most probably your computer is set to boot at run-level 5. First you need to know run levels,

    Runlevel 0 and 6: halt and reboot the machine, respectively.
    Runlevel 1: No services running, only root can login.
    Runlevel 2: Users can login but no networking.
    Runlevel 3: Networking and text-mode.
    Runlevel 4: unused.
    Runlevel 5: GUI.

    So , you need run level 3 on boot. It can be done by modifying /etc/inittab

    You should see something like following :

    Code:
    id:5:initdefault
    Change it to :

    Code:
    id:3:initdefault
