Get a new tty
by Pedroski from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6PVED)
I am using Ubuntu 22.04
I have fctix 5 as input method, so I can write Chinese. Sometimes, when the laptop goes to sleep, I wake it up by pressing the On button, but I cannot log back in.
Seems like it was in Chinese input mode. So I press ctrl space to switch to English input. I enter the password very carefully. Sometimes, this works, but sometimes, I just cannot get in.
I thought, if I could get a tty, I could then login, then switch back to tty1 where my files are open.
No amount of pressing ctrl alt f1 to f8 opens a tty login screen.
So I force shutdown by holding the off button, then restart.
After logging in, I tried ctrl alt f4 Nothing Same with any of the other f1 to f8.
In bash

I think it was. But I do not have a bash terminal at the login screen. Would be nice if ctrl alt f4 worked!
How can I enable ctrl alt f1 to f8 to get me into a different tty?
In the past, I could always ctrl alt f4 to another tty. Has this been disabled nowadays?
