Ubuntu 18.04 on startup error, [-f: command not found

I booted to installed Ubuntu 18.04 on my system and faced the error and pressing Ok button does not work
The only thing I did was following the react-native installation instruction:
created a .bash_profile at $HOME/.bash_profile and gave permission as .bashrc or .profile which was Me and group amir. just to prevent do source .bash_profile every time I did add it (I am not sure) in .bashrc or .bashprofile that if the .bash_profile exists add it. just copy pasted the other if on the upper line.
so it seems there is a white space or some problem at that command (if I did add it to .profile). how can I boot to Ubuntu now to make it correct?
bash 18.04 permissions bashrc .profile

The fastest way is using ctrl-alt-f3 to go to tty3 and login in there.

If he can't boot thenCtrl+alt+f3won't work!

tty3 should work before login so won't be affected by.profile, but I don't know how bad the account status is. May not be logged in into bash as well.

Try Ubuntu
Mount
rootat the point/mnt
sudo mount /dev/sdaX /mnt
- Make sure that you know your root, i.e. the partition that
/was mounted on during installation.
- Make sure that you know your root, i.e. the partition that
Then
chrootinto that location so you can edit your files:
sudo chroot /mnt
- Now use your editor and edit that file your previously edited.
NOTE: If your lost just do ls /mnt to see where your going!!
