Open a GUI-based terminal window by using the following method:

• Click on the System Tools and click on the Terminal (Terminal).

Using Virtual Console Terminals

By default, in VGA console mode, Linux runs 6 virtual consoles or TTY sessions. These are defined by the Mingetty statement in the/etc/inittab file. The X Terminal GUI console creates its own virtual terminals through the first available TTY (not controlled by Mingetty). This allows the GUI to run on the 7th Virtual Console:

• You can view each virtual Console in turn by pressing CTL-ALT-F1 to the F6 key, and each virtual Console is a new login prompt.
• The GUI login interface can be obtained by pressing the CTRL-ALT-F7 key, but the system needs to run under RunLevel 5 or the GUI has been run through the STARTX command.
