Newbie needs help - Stuck in Xconsole.
« on: July 20, 2008, 10:52:38 pm »
As a newbie to Linux, and linuxMCE, I have been experimenting with the OS as most do. Especially in the xconsole as I am trying the old school approach so to speak. Going back to the command line. Anyway, I know this is a stupid question, but once one gets in xconsole, (CTR + ALT + F1) how do you get back to the GUI. I'm learning Linux on the fly, and could also use a on-line command reference as I am totally a novice when it comes to Linux. I have the book Linux Complete, but it is more built around Red Hat, and is a pretty tough read for a newbie such as myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Ron

Hi!

To get back to X you have to press "CTRL + ALT + F7" - by the way - you can use F1 , F2 etc. to get to different consoles and have several commands executed at the same time
