SPAM: Simple Command Question
I hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 and got to the desired command screen. How does one get back into the desktop without rebooting? There must be a Howto somewhere for such things! dj tuchler

Ctrl+Alt+F7 will get you back to the X interface, if that's what you mean. Marc

Just clarify this a bit: Ctrl-Alt-F7 will take you back to the first X session, which conventionally runs on terminal number 7. If you have multiple sessions logged in at once, you can use Ctrl-Alt-F8 (for example) to get the second session, C-A-F9 to get to the third... never tried more than 3. If you're running 2 sessions and the one on terminal 7 logs out, c-a-F7 will probably take you to the xdm (or kdm) login screen. -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W.

And speaking of clarification, once your at a console, you no longer need the ctrl in the sequence. ctrl is what excapes X. So, you only need to alt-F7 to get back to X, or alt-F1, alt-F2, etc. for other consoles. Like, console 11 which I think is displaying dmesg. B-)

there is. The X server by default will be on console 7, so alt-F7 will do B-)

ctrl-alt-F7 should take you back to the default session. Bryan *************************************** Powered by Kubuntu Linux 6.06 KDE 3.5.2 KMail 1.9.1 This is a Microsoft-free computer Bryan S. Tyson bryantyson@earthlink.net ***************************************
