[SOLVED?]Virtual terminal weirdness

Hello
After re-installing Arch I was rather surprised to find that I was unable to change virtual terminal while running X.
What I am meaning is that once X starts, I am unable to change virtual terminal with Ctrl + Alt F1 etc. I can go from VT-1 to VT-7 (which is running X) normally but once in VT-7, Ctrl + Alt F1 does not work.
I googled around and found a workaround - running the command "chvt 1" as root changes me to VT-1 just fine.
However, I would rather not have to run this command every time I want to change virtual terminal - Ctrl + Alt F1 much less fuss.
Does anyone know why this is happening and/or how to fix it?
I would be happy to post config files if needed - just tell me what you want
[edit]
It appears that the issue may have been something to do with the open source ATI graphics drivers - I set up Catalyst and was able to shift virtual terminals with Ctrl + Alt + F1. Wierd.
Many thanks to everyone who posted

I think so - I mean when I use other keyboard shortcuts (eg Ctrl+space to play or pause in Rhythmbox) it works fine. I'm using the UK generic 105 key PC layout according to GNOME's 'keyboard' menu so I'd think that would be pretty normal.

GNOME | Desktop artifacts when switching from a virtual terminal

When switching from a virtual terminal to the graphical environment I observe artifacts on the desktop. When then I change wallpapers, the artifacts disappear. If I set the display mode for the desktop wallpapers (in the GNOME tweak tool) as “None” the artifacts don't show up at all.
How can I tackle the problem?
GNOME 3.14.2; nvidia 304.125

Virtual terminal problems (konsole, lxterminal)

Hi,
I did not find the solution for my particular problem, where the virtual terminal can't connect to the bash execution.
I'm using arch linux including all repos [testing, community-testing], and after a update, I'm unable to run konsole or lxterminal. However, xterm does work. I'm using kde 4 enviorment.
Whenever I run konsole from xterm I get:
$ konsole
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
konsole(3236)/kdecore (KPty/K3Process) KPty::open: Can't open a pseudo teletype
konsole(3236) Konsole::Pty::flowControlEnabled: Unable to get flow control status, terminal not connected.
An konsole window appears, but no prompt or anything. If I do an ps -A | grep bash it gives an bash execution not connected anywhere:
3288 ? 00:00:00 bash
if I kill it, then this message appears on the konsole terminal:
Warning: Program '/bin/bash' crashed.
I did search for it before, and found out the topic Terminal not running, but my devpts and shm are mounted correctly.

Then I think the problem is related to the merging of all applications into "/usr/bin". "/bin/bash" kind of doesn't exist anymore.
Did you read the Arch Linux announcements before updating?
If you do think that's the problem, then I don't know what you can do to fix it. I'm not smart enough. I'd probably just reinstall the OS.

Why every virtual terminal always starts at root-dir, not ~

when i log in on a normal terminal ( ctrl-alt-f1 ~ ctrl-alt-f6), i'm in my home directory
but when i'm on a virtual terminal like gnome-terminal, i'm always in root directory, no matter it's a loggin shell or not
even including Gvim
thx

You probably need to read http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
You need to describe in details what is you problem, how you start a terminal? You question dont make sense (where in the world is gvim a virtual terminal???)

[SOLVED] Cannot start a virtual terminal in KDE

Hi people,
I'm having an annoying issue with konsole : when started, the app starts, but it doesn't give me the prompt... All I have is a white cursor in the top left corner, and I can't type anything.
Switching to vc/1 using ctrl+alt+F1 works fine, and is fully usable.
I installed yakuake : same issue. I then installed gtkterm : same issue, but this time I get an error message :
Can not open /dev/ttyS0 : Permission not granted
Ain't ttyS0 the serial port ? Is there any chance that might be the problem ?
As suggested on the chakra forum, I checked permissions on :
* /bin/bash : root root 755
* /dev/tty1 : root root 777
On a maybe related note, I'm also having issues with kdesu : launching "kdesu kate" in krunner asks for root passwd, but then fails telling me "su" is not a recognized command. Similarly, I can only launch arxin, kuser, etc... as a regular user, giving the root passwd when required fails with that same error. I can use "su" when using vc/1, it works fine.
It looks like I've broken something bad, but I don't know what...Any idea, anyone ? I could go the easy way and reinstall, but I like to understand things...

[solved] connect to a virtual terminal

I want to start a console-based app (vim, ncmpc, irssi, etc.) in a new terminal (urxvt), how can I do this?
Here are some examples of things I'd like to be able to do:
- launch ncmpc in a new terminal at a given time every morning as an alarm clock
- launch irssi in a terminal every time I start X
If I summon an urxvt, is there a way of knowing which tty it's connected to (programmaticaly), and then is there a way of sending commands to that tty?

Moved to here.
urxvt -e <command> - it's in the man page.

Looking for a replacement for Terminal from XFCE [SOLVED]

I'm looking for a terminal to replace Terminal from XFCE. The requirements are simple. It needs to be GTK2 based for full clipboard functionality and to not be ugly. There needs to be a right click menu to access copy/cut/paste. And I need to be able to toggle the file menu or access all functions from the mouse. LXTerminal comes very close to this except the file menu is just on and the new window launch keyboard shortcut doesn't work. I don't care either way about tabs, but a terminal launcher is necessary.
----> xterm, rxvt, and the derivatives that I've seen are either too ugly or too feature light. It's too bad because xterm is amazingly quick. <----
So why not just use Terminal? There are times when it seems like there are some runaway processes in the background and it starts to lag behind the mouse when moving. I don't know if this in fact Terminal, but I'll find out soon enough. It wouldn't be surprising though; Thunar was a major headache for me.

so following advice from other forum members, I am marking this as solved. The situation resulted from me installing a new router and this router blocked SSH connections, I search on stackoverflow and tried this fix at

Xorg.conf Acer Aspire 3000 xinerama [request][SOLVED]

Anyone having an acer aspire 3000 laptop with xinerama working?
Or anyone with a "sis" driver laptop with xinerama?
I would be very very grateful if someone could post a working xorg.conf file with xinerama working for any of the above setups.
Been struggling all night with this and can't get it to work.
Or does anyone know of any tutorial that works to get xinerama up and running?

This xorg.conf works. Acer Aspire 3000
Xinerama works nicely except its very very slow and locks up computer during some screen events, like moving a terminal and stuff.

Thank You both for your replies. I was actually looking to change the default terminal used by Dolphin itself not my openbox menu.
Like in other file managers if you select the terminal option it opens in the directory you are in. In Dolphin it is F4 but there is no option to change from 'Konsole' to any other termnal.

Changing graphics card used for Virtual Terminal

I currently have two Nvidia graphics cards (I'm using the official proprietary drivers in the arch repos) in my machine.
Recently I needed to switch to using the other card for desktop graphics. I managed to persuade X to use the other card by modifying ``/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf``so that ``BusID`` was explicitly set (to the other graphics card's BusID) in the ``Device`` section and restarting X.
However I've noticed that the Virtual terminals are still trying to use the graphics card that was being used on first boot. Is anyone aware of a way of forcing the other card to be used without rebooting (I can't reboot right now due to others being logged into my machine that are using it)?

Negative. If the Dell you bought does indeed only have PCI, and from what Google has shown me, that card is PCI-Express. They are not compatible.
If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.
I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.

Xorg trouble can't find module "r128" [Solved]

Hello Everybody,
After upgrading to the latest Xorg, I can't get the "r128" driver to load, which should be included in the xf86-video-ati package, I can get X to start with the "vesa" driver and NoAccel options set, but the "r128" driver used to work very well, even providing direct rendering. I have to have the "AllowEmptyInput" "off" option, in order to have my input
devices to respond, the rest of the xorg.conf is pretty much stock except I've set my default depth very to 8 to improve usability and I've turned hardware accelleration off.
I believe I should be using the r128 driver, which should be provided by xf86-video-ati and, yes, it's installed. My graphics card is an ati rage 128 rl/vr agp.
If I switch the driver to either "r128" or "ait" it will give me an error message that the "r128 module does not exist" or something along those lines. I'm also having trouble with the onboard intel graphics on my other desktop, but I'll probably post about that in another thread, since there I can't get things to work even with the Vesa driver.

xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
setting driver to "ati" and "r128" produces the same output, driver "radeon" tells me no devices are detected. The catalyst driver says it supports radeons, so I don't think it would support my card anyway, so I haven't bothered to try it.
Help would be appreciated

The -ati driver only supports Radeon cards with the new Xorg. Install xf86-video-r128.

Xorg 6.8 + virtual terminal no go [solved]
