no TTY

atriaze

Hello to all,

I come back to you, after an installation of Solus Plasma, I find myself without TTY.
Indeed, when action on ctrl+alt+F2 or f3,f4 black screen and econection of my 2 screens.
To return to the Solus session ctrl+alt+F7, otherwise no action with all the other keys.

Thank you for your feedback

Are you trying to get the TTY terminal
1) when you boot up?
2) or when you are already in Plasma?
3) or both?

Not entirely sure this matters but maybe it does. Also I've seen F1 in that combination as well (you omitted it).

(EDIT: user named @pomon in a recent post told a user "Go to Tty by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Fx for x (F1-F7). Enter your login and password." .....so I had a feeling you did not exhaust all the possible numbers)

atriaze Have you tried with a single monitor yet? If that works to access the tty?

Hello Brent,

I can't get a TTY on startup as well as being on Plasma.
I have just redone from F1 to F6, no TTY, except a black screen with no way to take control. After 5 seconds my screens disconnected.
To resume on the Plasma session I activate F7, at this moment reconnection of the two screens and return to the Plasma session.

I searched well on the forum, but no handling for this case...

I checked too. cannot find a single instance of having a functioning OS and a missing TTY

elfprince The Mystery of the Missing Plasma TTY....
...this has got to be something simple and flukey I have to agree

edit: a single broken package?

So I just tried with a single screen, same result, no TTY...

elfprince

brent Never hurts to check.

sudo eopkg check
érification de l'intégrité de noto-sans-ttf Cassé Fichier manquant : usr/share/fonts/conf.d/66-noto-color-emoji.conf

not sure if this package is missing from TTY 🙂

elfprince

atriaze Is a reinstall necessary?

brent

sudo eopkg check for giggles?

stuff I'm seeing online: os not seeing keyboard correctly, restricted tty user groups, restricted account settings, other stuff way over my head.

brent

atriaze hopefully you get more opinions. stumped.

A reinstallation, no, I went through this
for the plasma installation on my computer and I think I'll wait for the new iso for a fresh installation

atriaze If you can use the Plasma graphic desktop part, and you can use a terminal as part of it as well, then that is doable. 😄

I'm going to look at this in the week, maybe install budgie or wait for the new iso.

Thanks to both of you 🙂

elfprince

atriaze By keeping your installation current via the weekly updates, you are more current than the new iso.

elfprince
Indeed you are right, but the next iso will be easier to set up than this one.
I had some trouble setting it up on this computer, and I think that's not unrelated to my current problem of lack of TTY...

5 years of Solus Forums iso install troubles threads: 1) tty, no DE or 2) no tty, no de
never have I seen no tty, healthy Desktop Environment

if you were the anomaly/outlier I would believe it with all my heart because I always get the weird ones, too🙂

Hey Budgie awaits!

atriaze

brent I just wanted to try Solus Plasma on desktop, as I have Solus Budgie on laptop.
Now the story of finding an environment for this desktop computer has been a long one.
Trying to put Solus Plasma on it has been a real quest...

No problem, I learn a lot from it 🙂

Sounds like a video driver issue.
I dont do the video driver stuffs

Axios thank you for your feedback, I think you are right.
