I installed and launched qtile in ubuntu(mate) but as I do not know how to use it yet, I want to log out. Unfortunately, my computer is set to log in automatically on startup so I am not given the choice after restart. I just need a simple way to log out of the Qtile window manager which I have installed on an Ubuntu Mate machine. I do not even know how to launch terminal in here: ctrl-alt-t doesn't work, super-r will launch my browser but wont launch anything else(including terminal). I went to some tty or something but then I realized I had forgotten my username so I can't login with just my password.. It is due to having reinstalled the system a million times over a short period of time, creating a different user every time.
Is there any way to log out of Qtile?

To logout: super + control + q
see
To launch a terminal use super+r then type gnome-terminal then hit 'Enter' key. Alternatively install xterm sudo apt install xterm, then use the keyboard shortcut super+enter to launch it. See
You can also configure super+enter to launch gnome-terminal instead of xterm:
# create a config file if you don't have one
curl --output ~/.config/qtile/config.py --create-dirsedit ~/.config/qtile/config.py and change xterm to gnome-terminal or your preferred terminal, then restart qtile with super+control+r
