You can try sudo chvt 1 and see what error comes up, then google it for more info. Sorry I could not help more
I think you're right about it being relatively unimportant; it just kinda bugged me. chvt works nicely, and when in virtual terminal 1 or 2 (text mode), ctrl-alt-F5 works. However, it takes me back to the GUI, where ctrl-alt-F2 (in the LXterm app) produces ;7Q and no "action." Just curious...


Thanks!
