Try

Code:

clear

If you've used su - or su to gain root access, then you can use exit to return to standard user.

While "clear" will clear the screen for a terminal, or xterm session, CTRL-C will exit an existing program that may be running, which currently stops a terminal from accepting input. One can also use CTRL-Z to break, and then type "bg" to put a running program into the background.

What would be helpful here is a better description of what the exact problem is.

"clear" and "ctrl+z" not work

that's a python project,

use command "source venv/bin/activate"

and get shell as : "(venv) creatxr@laptop:"

i want to exit from "(venv)"

return to "creatxr@laptop:"

the two commands cannot do that

if i use "exit" command , the shell window will close

Try 'deactivate'.
