when in runlevel 4, I can't use a console


hi all,


when I change to runlevel 4, and then switch with CTRL-ALT-F# I can't login.

It is just like the keyboard is not responding.

Is this the normal behaviour?
And can I change this?

Greetings!

Try ctrl+alt+F6, this should work. In Slackware at initlevel 4 you have only one console to log in.

Try [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[F6], only that one is available on runlevel 4
This is "normal" and it's configured this way in the /etc/inittab file.
Back it up, review it and modify it as your heart wills.
