TTY does not load and <F2> goes to tty1

[deusr]

I'm having a little trouble boring. When my system loads the X, the tty is not loading up for <ctrl+alt+f1> <ctrl+alt+f6> and when tightening <F2> to rename a file, I'm thrown to tty1. See images...


The first relates to the tty0 zoomed in for the second and third tty1 tty2 referring to the tty5.

What does the following command, issued as root user in a Konsole/Terminal window, return?:

Code: Select all

rc-update show | grep keymaps

If you're using KDE, have you checked in system Settings > Input Devices > Keyboard > Hardware what keyboard you have got selected, and tried some of the other choices?

Also, are you by any chance using an Apple keyboard? I ask because I recall an SL user some years ago who was using an Apple keyboard with a PC, and he was having a similar problem.

[deusr]

Code: Select all

neit ~ # rc-update show | grep keymaps
              keymaps | boot

I'm using Gnome-shell. And I DO NOT have the Apple keyboard, I use my Acer S3 Ultrabook

I suspected you were using an Apple keyboard. See HOWTO: Make The Function Keys Work On An Apple Keyboard.

[deusr]

Sorry, I saw that I had answered wrong, I use notebook and not use apple keyboard.

Please paste the contents here of the file /etc/inittab

Something else to try: Edit the file /boot/grub/grub.cfg and add the parameter nomodeset to the kernel boot line.

Your inittab file looks OK. What was the result of adding nomodeset to your kernel boot line?

[deusr]

I tested inserting the direct line of the boot and the system will not even finished loading, I had to restart forcing.

I just want to make sure I understand your problem. When you wrote:

The first relates to the tty0 zoomed in for the second and third tty1 tty2 referring to the tty5.

Do you actually mean the following?:

I'm having a little trouble booting. When my system loads X Windows, the tty is not being displayed if I type <ctrl+alt+f1> to <ctrl+alt+f6>, and tty1 is displayed if I type <F2> to rename a file. See images... The first shows tty1 zoomed in. The second and third show tty2 and tty3 displaying tty6.

You wrote "tty0". There is no tty0:
