   Hi   
   In systemd speak....   
      
   systemctl isolate multi-user.target (runlevel 3, init 3 etc)   
      
   systemctl isolate graphical.target (runlevel 5, init 5 etc)   
      
   The above should start the graphical login (or auto login if set)   
      
   systemctl set-default multi-user.target (boot to runlevel 3, init 3 etc)   
      
   systemctl set-default graphical.target (boot runlevel 5, init 5 etc)
