Sometimes it may happen that after a bad shutdown the computer, for whatever reason, when rebooting the system is an error and only shows the boot linux in single mode, then logically he applied the root password. This error may be due to an error in the disk or partition. Well one way to try to fix this is because once the password and single-mode type the following command at the command line:
df
which presents a report with the partition that has been affected by the error, once we have this information, to try to solve this type the following command:
e2fsck / dev / hd **
Taking into account that have been replaced by the ** for the partition number that you have returned the first command. The questions we ask for the second command to all who answered yes (YES). Once the order, type the command
logout
To exit the session and finally reboot the computer with the following keyboard combination:

GNU / Linux systems have multiple consoles and switch between the keyboard allows them whether it works in graphic mode or in text mode.
Although the procedure is different depending on the case in question. In text mode to change the linux console has to hold down Alt and then the function key corresponding to the console to which you want to access.
For example if you want to access the console must first press and hold down the Alt key, and then there is a push on the button called "F1" key combination that allows you to access the console first, if you will access the second one would have to press the combination Alt + F2, and so on with the first six text consoles.
I say the first six but can be more, since most Linux systems are configured by default to six consoles linux text in a more graphic way, therefore access to text consoles would press the key combination Alt and then the function key that can go from F1 to F6, whereas if you press F7 will have access to the Linux console in graphical mode.
On some linux systems you can not change the console text to more than 6 + 1 graph, or it is not recommended because doing so does not acknowledge, however if the keyboard has 12 function keys and the system installed linux is not very old could increase the number of terminals 12, 11 is the final text that would be more graphic.
It should be borne in mind that consoles have a lot of text may not be so advisable, because even if allowed to run different programs on different consoles and even into the Linux system with different user names according to the console. A novice user makes little use of these options.
It should be borne in mind that when it changed to a graphical console, if you want to switch to another console, you can no longer use the same key combination as in graphic mode does not recognize these.
So to switch between consoles on the original console in graphical mode has been pressing the key combination Ctrl + Alt + function key, ie it must also press the Control key.
