Linux: Switch: Console: How to switch the console between graphics and 
text? [VMWare]

---

Method: use hotkeys:

 1. <CTRL><ALT><F1> from graphics to text

 2. <CTRL><ALT><F7> from text to graphics

 Note: it is not necessary to open a console first

---

Note:

If using VMWare, because this hot keys <CTRL><ALT> are in use and 
overtaken
by VMWare, you might choose to temporarily switch to another hot key
combination (goto VMWare, menu 'Edit'->'Preferences'->tab 'Hot keys',
enable radio button 'Ctrl-shift-alt', 'OK', suspend your VMWare 
operating system,
and resume it again, to activate). Then switch to text mode to do the
actions, and put back the old VMWare hotkeys when ready.

---
---

Method: edit the configuration file '/etc/inittab'

---

This did only work in Red Hat, Mandrake.

---

Steps: Overview:

 1. -login as root, by typing:

      su

     and give your root password

     1. edit the configuration file

         /etc/inittab

        (possibly make a backup first,
         by typing e.g.
         cp inittab inittab_bak)

     ---

     Here the vi editor is used:

      vi /etc/inittab

       then press the <INSERT> key to be able to edit the text

     2. -change line:

         id:5:initdefault:   (this means start in graphics mode)

        to the following:

         #id:5:initdefault

         id:3:initdefault:   (this means start in text mode)

     3. -Save the file:

         <ESCAPE>

         :save /etc/inittab

         (or possibly :write /etc/inittab)

         :q

         or even better just one command to save current
         file and quit, use:

         :wq

     4. -reboot Linux, to switch to this text mode

          type

          shutdown -r now

        ---

        Note: in Linux Debian v3 I could not get this method
              to work.

              I tried to change

               id:2:initdefault:

              to

               id:3:initdefault:

              and also tried to change in the file:

               /etc/lilo.conf

              the default from:

               # append=""

              to instead:

               append="video=vga16:off"

              but it did not work in first try.

           ---

           I discovered that you also can
           use in Debian (after you do
           a reboot) in the graphical
           screen the button 'Menu'.
           Use then 'Console login' for
           text (or similar <ALT><N>).

           ---

           I finally decided to use the method
           <CTRL><ALT><F1> and <CTRL><ALT><F7>
           to switch between graphics and text in
           a console.

           ---

           But in VMWare <CTRL><ALT> is a hot
           key, so will take over if you try that.

           ---

           So I changed first the default settings
           in VMWare menu 'Edit'->'Preferences'->
           tab 'Hotkeys', enable radio button
           'Ctrl-Shift-Alt'->'OK'.
           You will have to pause your Linux,
           and quit VMWare to make this active.
           After that do the <CTRL><ALT><F1> in
           a console to install VMWare tools.

           ---

           Remember that you now have to use
           <CTRL><ALT><SHIFT> to switch between
           Linux and Windows.

           ---

 4. -you will now be in text mode, and presented with the option
     to login

 5. -login as root again

      su

 6. -Do further actions

 7. -Then reboot or use <CTRL><F7> to switch back to
     graphics mode and put it back in the former state.

 8. Let Linux start again automatically in graphics mode,
    by editing the /etc/inittab file again:

  1. -login as root

       su

  2. -edit /etc/inittab

       vi /etc/inittab

  3. -change line

       id:3:initdefault:   (this means start in text mode)

      to

       id:5:initdefault:   (this means start in graphics mode)

  4. -save the file:

       <ESCAPE>

       :save /etc/inittab

       :q

 9. reboot your Linux in VMWare

---
---

Method: use the 'telinit' command

Steps: Overview:

 1. -In graphics mode, open a console

 2. -To switch to text mode, type the command:

      telinit 3

 3. -To switch back to graphics mode, type the command

       telinit 5

      or similarly

       startx
