Very odd! Not being a Ubuntu user, I have no direct guesses as to what the problem might be. I thought Ubuntu uses systemd so am wondering why you'd be referring to run levels. The systemd way to switch to a text mode boot is: systemctl set-default multi-user >> Which console number does the fgconsole command say you're using? >The output is "1". The older convention, which I think Ubuntu uses, is for ttys 1 through 6 to be text consoles and for X to be on tty7. The newer convention, whch maybe Ubuntu has switched to, is to put X on tty1. Just to be absolutely sure, therefore, you might wish to try swithing to tty2. You can easily do that from ssh with this command: chvt 2 >I've force brltty and brltty-x11 to reinstall That shouldn't matter. >and also reconfigured console-data >From what to what? >without any sign of improvement. I admit I'm a little baffled at this point. Another possibility is that Ubuntu has switched to using a graphical console app for text consoles. While logged in to what you're sure is a text console, use ps via ssh to find out which processes are running on that tty. -- I believe the Bible to be the very Word of God: http://Mielke.cc/bible/ Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | WebHome: http://Mielke.cc/ EMail: [email protected] | Ottawa, Ontario | Twitter: @Dave_Mielke Phone: +1 613 726 0014 | Canada K2A 1H7 | http://mielke.cc/xmother.html (Letter from a Feminist ex-Mother) _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
