You can switch to a virtual console terminal. |
|||
You may need to do this for entering commands, if [[Sugar]] is broken or the [[Terminal]] activity will not start. |
|||
The virtual consoles are numbered from 1. |
|||
You may switch away from the Sugar virtual console by typing ctrl-alt-f2. On some XOs, the f2 key legend is not printed. If you are not sure where the f2 key is, please see the table of [[Keyboard#Missing_Keys|Missing Keys]]. |
|||
When you have switched, your screen will become white text on a black background. |
|||
Press enter to login. The screen will print something like: |
|||
-bash-4.1# |
|||
You are now the ''root'' user and can type commands as you would in Terminal. Be very careful, it is very easy to damage the filesystem, losing any saved journal entries. Check your commands carefully. |
|||
On current builds, Sugar is on virtual console 1. On builds prior to 11.3.0, Sugar was on virtual console 3. |
|||
To return to Sugar, type ctrl-alt-f1. (Or on old builds, ctrl-alt-f3). |
