After much research , the solution is to change the Linux Terminal from tty1 to tty2 for example , the shortcut to do so is : Ctrl + alt + F2 (if you use a VM , go in full screen mode before using the shortcut) , but now i have another problem, when i want to get to graphic mode i get "PolicyKit daemon disconnected from the bus" which apparently is a bug : PolicyKit bug
