How to make ubuntu arm server boot to console mode

[mmsood99-1]

Something really odd going on:

1. Built an arm ubuntu server on apple silicon fusion

2. All was fine. Was able to interact in console mode

3. Rebooted, and it came up in a gnome shell! I neither asked for nor wanted it

4 The gnome shell has a very limted set of tools (no terminal)

5 All susequent reboots come up in gnome

How do I get it to boot into a shell?
