To start Ubuntu in normal mode, you will need to boot your computer and wait for the login screen to appear. If you are presented with a login screen, enter your username and password and press Enter or Return to log in. If you are not presented with a login screen, your computer may be set to automatically log you in. In this case, you can simply wait for the desktop to appear.
If you are having trouble logging in to your account, or if you are unable to access the desktop, there are a few other things you can try:
- Try rebooting your computer and see if that helps.
- If you are presented with a login screen but your password is not accepted, try resetting your password by following the prompts on the screen.
- If you are presented with a login screen but your username is not recognized, try logging in with a different account or creating a new account.
- If you are not presented with a login screen and your computer is stuck on a splash screen or an error message, try pressing the Esc key or one of the function keys (F1, F2, etc.) to access the boot menu or BIOS settings. From here, you may be able to troubleshoot any issues or select the option to boot into normal mode.
- If none of these steps help, you may need to boot from a live CD or USB drive and try to repair your system or reinstall Ubuntu.
