Terminal Commands: Control-Alt-F7
After login:
gedit (enter) (gedit: 3684) GTK-Warning**: cannot open display:
kate (enter) cannot connect to X Server
Is there a way to track down the application "Console" in GUI so I can see it under a init process? I'm wondering if just Getty starts a bash shell and everything else is a kernel driver. I thought unless X ran it , the application (bash shell) used direct system calls.
I'm reading a guide located here,
Text-Terminal-HOWTO
Not a bad guide (because it is the only one) but has a huge gray area on terminology.
Part of the problem is that users use the same term that they should use display for as a terminal or a console and the physical display is interchanged with and application on the computer. I believe the distinction is really HOW the application is run on a computer be it with a graphics program , without a graphics program, or a program run on a X with out graphics.
It looks to me that if an application can be opened without graphics that it can be opened in a "terminal" running on X. So a terminal would really be a sectioned area on the GUI screen that does not involve graphics.
Thanks for your expertise it has helped in my understanding.
