unable to switch from Xorg to TTY using Ctrl-Alt-F1/F2

<< < (5/5)

Jason W:
What I see in core6 with no multivt boot code is if I press CTRL-ALT-F1 then I see a black screen with no prompt, and pressing CTRL-ALT-F2 brings back the desktop.  In dCore what I see without the multivt boot code is if you press CTRL-ALT-F2 or F3 or whatever you get a black screen with no prompt, and CTRL-ALT-F1 brings it back.

Not to quibble, but this doesn't seem to be that long ago:

Just comparing on my other TC6 install, this one boots Xvesa with JWM, the other Xorg with Fluxbox. On this install i am also able to Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get to a TTY, actually need to press Enter key to clear Xorg gibberish then get prompt. Ctrl-Alt-F2 returns to graphics. Pretty sure none of these systems were tweaked in this regard.

When i run  tty  from Ctrl-Alt-F1 TTY i get  /dev/tty1. Learned the command  su openvt  , which opens yet another virtual terminal on-the-fly. So now Ctrl-Alt-F3 changes to a new TTY and when i run  tty  get  /dev/tty3. So my guess is Xvesa is running in TTY2? My limited understanding can only, therefore, conclude that my TC6 installs boot by default (no multi boot code) with two vt.

Anywho...just wanted to report findings. Yes i understand there will definitely be differences between TC and dCore, even in base functionality. Just interesting. Also nice to learn the new  openvt  command for myself. The text boot issue is resolved, multivt works well, now i know how to easily add another vt on the go, thanks.

[edit] now unable to repeat openvt , will need to keep playing around.
[edit2] appears to work well, opens new vt as tc: sudo openvt su tc

Rich - I guess I would have been more accurate to say I have only made changes to home dir files once over a period of a long time, rather than it has been a long time.  lol  I forgot that patch to .profile was applied in Dec, seemed like longer.  Usually time flies, but evidently not in this case.
