Hello, Douglas. I ran "ps -C getty" but there weren't processes listed. Also, I run a "locate getty" and "which getty" (as root and user as well) but there weren't results either... although, the comands for the stty's are present in /etc/inittab as you mentioned. Some time ago I tweaked the package system trying to install a version of a package in the testing repository... I don't remember which one... . Maybe I didn't notice and that's when the problem started.
About which vt I am using... I supposed etch default one. Also X is started automatically by GDM and I don't know how to get out of X (except for swtching to pseudoterminals... which aren't there) 2007/7/14, Douglas Allan Tutty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

No. If you look near the end of /etc/inittab you should see lines for gettys. Assuming that they're there, you should get some output with $ ps -C getty If CTRL-ALT-F1 doesn't work, from what vt are you trying? If you are in X at the time, it could be that X is capturing keys. Try getting out of X (I don't know how you got into it; I always use startx) and see where you are. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
