How to force start xubuntu in safe mode, or from terminal

[schauerlich]

Could you please clarify what you mean?

You can start in recovery mode by hitting esc when the message about grub comes up right after BIOS as you boot up. Select your kernal (recovery mode) and hit enter. You will be given a terminal and you will be root, so be careful with any commands you might run.

Is that what you meant?
