Hi, i'm currently trying to install nvidia drivers and the system hangs. Anyhow i have configured where the problem relies and all i want to do is to boot in terminal mode in order to resolve it. I know it has to do with grub but i just don't know which line to edit.
I'm using fedora 18.
In Fedora, press "e" at the boot menu, arrow down to the line that starts with "linux", put a 3 at the end of the line, then press F10.
If you have access to a command line, this is the more up to date command:
sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target
Reset to the default (graphical) login:
sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target
(The other answers above may still work, but this is the preferred way to do it.)
you can edit the kerenl line in grub (on boot) and add 1 to the end of it. this will boot you into a single user mode
This might seem stupid but which exactly is the kernel line? I think i remember on previous versions of grub it was the one that started with kernel but i don't see it in this one :S
