Hi and welcome to LQ.

You might not have permissions to do it. Can you post the error you get when you try:

I advise creating separate posts for each of your problems since they are entirely unrelated to each other. Threads which start with a post requesting help with multiple unrelated issues tend to very quickly get messy and confusing. Since someone's already responded to your vim enquiry and your subject header just says 'vim', you could start separate posts for the booting and recovery console issues, or maybe just one if they are actually related in some way. You will have to provide a lot more information than you have done so though. 'booting problem' is hopelessly vague. You need to provide some information on exactly what is going wrong during boot, including an error messages which occur.

Please post here the output of running the following commands in a terminal:
By the way there is not such thing as a recovery console in linux. If you ever screw up you linux system badly, then you should try booting into a linux live cd and go from there.

Please rename your post title, give some more information about your issue - then people will likely be more responsive and helpful.

By recovery console, do you mean Single User Mode?

That's possible, but you really should open different threads for each of your issues.

The Vim issue - check first if you can read the file. Try Booting issues, what point in the boot is it failing?

Er-hem! You just owned yourself :)

:D
