Well, that won't necessarily solve your problem if you decide to
install a desktop again in 13.04 :-)

You should be able to boot into recovery mode by following these directions
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode

Then the other way to prevent X from starting up is to edit grub:
In /etc/default/grub replace the line

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

with

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash text"

Then run 'update-grub' command

But I have no idea why lightdm.override didn't work that's weird....
Sorry about that... hope this helps, Kevin

Cheers,
 Scott
