Do you locally, not remotely?

Also I have to get Xfce running locally.  I thought I could just issue
startx or startxfce4 from the command line, but that failed. Any suggestion?

Alternatively, how do I change back from multi-user target.  I suppose I
can google that.   But can it be done temporarily?
