The login manager runs on console 1. The first logged in desktop
session runs on console 2 and so on. Unless you switch to the virtual
console before that, which will push the desktop sessions further along.
I
haven't actually been following this thread but as a trial, on my
system where I'm running Plasma on Xorg with I believe a GDM DM, and
ctrl-alt-f1 switches me to the gdm login screen, then ctrl-alt-f4 do
nothing, ctrl-alt-f5 switches me to a tty shell login prompt, and then
ctrl-alt-f6 to ctrl-alt-f12 do nothing, and alt-f1 to alt-f12 do
nothing, so nothing got me back to the running X session. Still sitting
at the shell login prompt I issued ctrl-alt-f1 which took me back to the
gdm login screen, and then as another trial I issue ctrl-alt-f2 which
took me back to the running X session. This on f37 upgraded from a
freshly installed f36 system.
regards,
Steve
