Wow!! How does one know how many sessions are open and under what user ids?phhpro wrote:Pressing CTLT-ALT-F2 while already running a full desktop env simply tells the system to open a new instance. You are NOT exiting, but switching. In simple words: you are effectively running two more or less independent sessions. There's literally no limit to the number of sessions one can start, other then RAM of course.
When shutting down/rebooting I see MANY msgs on the terminal screen. Some are error msgs. Many are msgs related/connected to things that I have seen/done on the desktop GUI. I personally don't think these latter msgs should be written to the terminal log at all. But in both cases to have the msgs reviewed by people who understand Linux I need a way to view and capture them. Using a camera works but not well.What exactly is the problem?
The /var/log directory only shows the booting msgs last I looked. So you are saying if I can change the porteus.config file that log will show error msgs also? Can that change/option be made via a cheatcode?beny wrote:well ed_P can read the log located into the /var/log directory,for searching the issue,but if he change some line into the porteus.config can start the system with the text mode,init3 and if something goes wrong he can read why.
