No Virtual Consoles in gdm3
Asked by
Marti Van Lin
Since Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic, I can't access Virtual Consoles (Ctrl, Alt, F1/F6) any longer.
Via research I came to the conclusion that the problem is caused by gdm3.
I worked around it by installing lightdm and setting it up as the default display manager:
sudo apt install lightdm
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
Choosing lightdm from the menu.
Hoping the problem was fixed during the release of 18.0.1 I tried setting up gdm3 as the default display manager:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3
Unfortunately the problem wasn't fixed yet. Thus setup lightdm as the default display manager again.
I sincerely hope it will be fixed any time soon. Or an I the only one still using Virtual Consoles ;-)
