How to exit the recovery console?

Question

I was having problems with Ubuntu 11.04 freezing up with Firefox, then it was freezing up with other applications as well.

At login I tried Recovery Console and now I can't get out of it. Ubuntu 11.04 is installed on my desktop which is an Acer Aspire AM5100-E5401A with a AMD Phenom 64 Quad core.

Just run the command exit and you will exit from the recovery console.

I've been looking around for this particular problem but, what happens when exit does nothing? Like it just freezes I can't ctrl+ anything to get out... – Robert Houghton Feb 15 '20 at 16:24

Thanks mikewhatever, reboot command asks for root so I entered sudo reboot, but as before the problem is that I in a loop, meaning it brings me back to the white command screen upper left hand corner. I want to go to normal login. – Dan Aug 22 '11 at 18:07
In this case, I doubt you were in the recovery mode in the first place. Can you elaborate on the steps after selecting the recovery mode from Grub menu. – mikewhatever Aug 22 '11 at 18:18
@Dan Did you anything in grub-config to get into the recovery console? Or you just selected the option from grub option menu? – dedunu Aug 13 '15 at 03:36
