Virtual Consoles (TTY) Information

Estimated reading: 1 minute 41 views

Nitrux has seven virtual consolesor TTYs (e.g., TTY #1, TTY #2, etc.), accessible via key combinations  Ctrl+Alt+{F1-F7} by default; some hardware configurations can create additional TTYs, such as laptops using NVIDIA Optimus. Each console can run a separate login session. The graphical session may be available in different TTYs depending on the hardware. Switching to a different TTY can cause graphical corruption in certain setups, e.g., switching from TTY #7 to TTY #2. To work around this issue, switch to a different TTY, then switch to the TTY with the graphical session.
