Dear respected developers and users,

I need your help to exist tty1.
I have tried cltr+alt+F7, when I do init 5
I got
Failed to start graphic.target: Interactive authentication required
Failes to open /dev/initct1: permission denied
Failed to talk to init deamon.

Your help is welcome.
Regards
Lawal

We need more information. It is not clear what you are attempting. Which Ubuntu version do you have? Is this a new problem that began right after installing Ubuntu? Is the GUI failing to start?

Ctrl-Alt-F7 from your graphical session or login manager is probably a null event, as virtual terminal 7 (vtty7) is normally where the GUI runs. If the GUI is running there, then Ctrl-Alt-F[1-6] should switch you to a vtty. The GUI might be running on vtty1, so to get to a text vtty would require Ctrl-Alt-F[2-6].

Init 5 is an alias to initiate the GUI login manager when not booted directly into graphical mode. It is another null event, if the GUI is already running.

Yes, would be nice to explain what do you want to achieve, what do you mean by " help to exist tty1"...

Thank you.
I am using Ubuntu 16.04. The system was working fine, However, I didn't use it for about three months. Now I tried to use it but the GUI fail to start. I run update and restarts but it still boots on tty1.

Thanks in advance.

you need to check logs and also post error messages

Dear Pan64,

Thanks a lot. Sorry for the delay. Please how to check the logs? For more information I got this message when I tried to install update.

You need to download those files and copy them into the right location.

If you could provide output fromrun in a desktop terminal, better help might be available. We still know nothing about your hardware. Do you have a laptop described as Optimus? Missing firmware has become a common message that usually is of no importance.

This is the output of the command

@Pan64
I am trying to download those files

This indicates you have a laptop with special hardware, AMD hybrid graphics, sometimes called "switchable graphics" or "dual graphics". This requires some special configuration with which I have no useful familiarity for providing further help.

When someone here asks for output from a command, you should use code tags as I did, the [ # ] icon above the input window, to surround the ouput. If you cannot copy and paste the output from a command directly here, what you can do is redirect output from the command to a file, then copy from the file to the input window. This will retain the command's output formatting, which avoids confusion and mis- or omitted typing. It looks like some of the output from your inxi command was not included.

Please run this command:and provide the URL resulting here. It might provide clues to troubleshoot this.

Thanks.

That log shows a serious problem, "(EE) /dev/dri/card1: failed to set DRM interface version 1.4: Permission denied", but I don't know what might cause it. You could try striking the E key when the grub menu appears and removing vt.handoff=7. I've seen that recommended elsewhere, and I don't have it on my Bionic. If it helps, then remove it also from /etc/default/grub and regenerate your grub.cfg.

The kernel and xserver in use in that log are rather old. The log is from August 2018. Please check the date on file ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log. If it exists and is recent or current, please do:and report the provided URL.

I suggest to try a system update:The previous update may have been incomplete, resulting in strange errors.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot.
It seems there is little chance for solving my problem. Is there way forward for this issue?

Thank in advanced.
