"init 3" drops me on a black screen without prompt
« on: 2014/05/23, 12:23:11 »
I don't know if this is a bug or what? I have had this issue for quite a while, I had the same long time ago on some of my aptosid installations. When I do "init 3" in a terminal window (as root) I will not get to a working terminal screen, I get to a black screen with a blinking line, can't do anything there. I have to do "ctrl+alt+F(x) to come to a working terminal.

As a workaround, you can do ctrl-alt- f1 instead of init 3. What happens with
Code: [Select]
systemctl isolate multi-user.target?

meaning the now empty tty7 where your desktop was. You should be able to switch to the waiting tty1 from there just with ALT+F1
