Kill off the X session with CTRL ATL BKSP then when you get to the console /etc/init.d/xsession start.

Hi Stephen,
Tried CTRL ALT + BKSP (assuming BACKSPACE key arrow pointing left) system sent KILL signal and shutdown

What have I done wrong ?

Type this from a console "sudo init 3"

Then type "init 5"

That should work.
