I was normally working on Ubuntu 16.04. I pressed some random keys and a black full screen appeared asking me to login and submit my password. After doing so I have only a black full screen terminal like that of UNIX/DOS without GUI.

  • I just realize that you apparently have installed lynx and managed to post your question from that. Pretty cool.

Juste type ctrl-alt-F1 to F6 to switch between tty's, try ctrl-alt-F2 as it is where your graphic term should be defaulted (F1 is the login screen, F3 to F6 are text term - may vary upon distro, try for yourself;).

Juste type ctrl-alt-F1 to F6 to switch between tty's, try ctrl-alt-F2 as it is where your graphic term should be defaulted (F1 is the login screen, F3 to F6 are text term - may vary upon distro, try for yourself;).

    OP uses 16.04. There F1-F6 are consoles and F7 is the GUI. They have changed it in 17.04 to what you say.
