You can reach a console on ttys 1-6 by typing <Ctrl>-<Alt>-<F1> through
-<F6>. X generally runs on tty 7, so you can get back there by doing
<Ctrl>-<Alt>-<F7>; however, when X isn't running due to config problems,
the gdm restart will, in general, automatically throw you into the tty X
will use.
I will assume that this solves your problem, and close out the bug. If
you feel that I have not fully addressed your issue, please do feel free
to reopen this bug. Also, it might be worthwhile issuing a more general
bug along the lines of "Ubuntu needs more user-friendly handling in
cases of X failure", to address a potential "bug" that the current
method for dealing with the circumstance may be insufficiently user
friendly. :-)
