I was trying to help a buddy get some form of ubuntu to boot up on his iMac, so then I was looking over the ubuntu apple hardware users sub-forum and saw a couple of posts about problems getting ubuntu installed on Macs, and I was going to suggest to one poster to "try to get to a tty" . . . so I tried myself, at that time I was running a Leap 15.1 system . . . screen went black, but no login prompt showed up out of the blacknesses . . . did manage to get back to the GUI in that system.
Then today I tried a number of my systems, debian, u-mate, Lu 19.10, Gecko . . . and it seems like the tty Bash shells have gone extinct??? In Lu the screen went black, then the display light went orange . . . and would not return to the GUI no matter what keys I tried??? What's up wit dat??? Being able to get to a Bash Shell is one of the handier things about running linux for troubleshooting and so forth. I saw a thread from last year on an OpenSUSE forum thread from Dec '18 where one poster said, "they broke the tty" and then another admin saying, "Why did you say 'they' . . .???" but then didn't seem to discuss it anymore. I know I have dropped into a Bash shell on one of my many systems pretty recently . . . but now it seems like . . . it ain't happnin' ???? F
