How to see entire text output of commands in TTY?
by Frickymind from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6MQTS)
Hi,
I'm using a Thinkpad running Linux Mint 21.3.
When you're in a TTY and execute a command such as ps aux, sometimes a lot of text is printed as an output, perhaps multiple screens worth. However, I can't find out how I'm supposed to be able to read the text that has scrolled off the screen. I've tried the cursor keys and shift + Pg Up, but it doesn't work. This has bugged me for a while, usually when I'm in an emergency and it's hard to find any instructions addressing this problem.
Does anyone have a solution to this?
Thanks
