Unable to switch tty console
by mc510 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4Y07K)
I'm SSHing into my headless OrangePi server running Armbian (basically debian) using Secure Shell App on Chromebook. I'd like to be able to start something (say, bmon) in tty1, then switch over to tty2 and do something else, etc., but I'm not doing it right. For one thing, if I do "tty" it says "/dev/pts/0" ... I don't know what that means, I expected tty0 or tty1. If I do alt+F2 (or F3, F4, F5) nothing happens; if I do "sudo chvt 2" (or 3, 4, 5) nothing happens. Do I need to do something to enable multiple tty consoles?
