Ctrl+Alt+F1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Hi.
I am using the fedora 7. And as per my understanding Ctrl+Alt+F1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 should invoke the CLI mode but that is not happening. I am trying to learn commands through CLI but the combination of keys does not comes up with any thing. So any ideas. I am using Linux as guest OS with Vmware workstation. I do have terminal to execute the commands, but why would the Ctrl+Alt+F1 work????? Thanks |
You can only do it if your /etc/inittab allows it in the current runlevel. If you have
Code:
c1:1235:respawn:/usr/sbin/qingy tty1 --disable-lastuser |
Well this is what i have in mine
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1 2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2 3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3 4:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty4 5:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty5 6:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty6 Also the Vmware uses the Ctrl + Alt for managing the cursor control, so can I change the command to launch the CLI console |
The problem is because CTRL+ALT passes control from the guest to the host in VMware. I've had the same thing running FC5 / 6 inside VMs but never tried to resolve it because there is a simple work around - running the terminal from the menu.
