How do I switch between the graphical desktop and a TTY?

You can switch to a command-line interface (TTY) if the graphical desktop is frozen or for advanced tasks.

  • To switch to TTY2:
    • On most computers: Ctrl + Alt + F2
    • On Apple computers: CMD + Option + F2
    • In rare cases: FN + Ctrl + Alt + F2
    • As admin: sudo chvt 2

Tip

If the key combinations don’t work, try connecting an external USB keyboard. Sometimes, a built-in keyboard might be broken or unresponsive.

  • To switch back to the graphical desktop (TTY1):
    • Exit fbterm with exit then use Ctrl + Alt + F1.
    • You can also use Super + Alt + .
    • As admin: sudo chvt 1.
