Question Cannot Switch from GUI to Text Screens
A client's SCO UNIX OpenServer 5.0.7 MP 4 system: The X-Windows GUI comes up fine (on multi-screen 2) but I cannot switch to tty01 or tty03 or any other tty. The display just shows a blinking cursor. I went into scoadmin video and checked that the function keys were all assigned--they are. I've never had this problem before; I tried another monitor, video card, and video cable--same issue. To my knowledge, no one at the client's company has altered the SCO software (like monitor settings) in any manner. SCO finds the correct video card (nvidia). Next time I'm at the client's site, I will try the old "/etc/clean_screen -g" command to see if that works--but I shouldn't have to do this. Any suggestions?

NAME

       subscription-manager-gui - Launches the UI client of the Subscription Manager.

SYNOPSIS

       subscription-manager-gui [--register]

DESCRIPTION

       subscription-manager-gui  opens	the  local client tool to manage subscriptions and installed products on Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems.
       The same tasks that can be performed by invoking subscription-manager can be performed in the GUI, including  registering  systems  with  a
       subscription management service, applying and removing subscriptions, and viewing the subscription status of installed products.

       The Subscription Manager UI can also be opened by selecting the Red Hat Subscription Manager item from the Applications > System Tools menu
       in RHEL 5.x or the System > Administration menu in RHEL 6.x.

OPTIONS

       --register
	      If a system has not yet been registered, then the GUI registration page can be opened immediately, as the Subscription  Manager  GUI
	      comes up. This is only relevant for unregistered systems; if this is used after a system is registered, the option is ignored.

REFERENCES

       For  procedures	and  tasks that can be performed in the Subscription Manager UI, check the Gnome help files (by pressing <F1>) or refer to
       the RHEL Subscription  Management  Guide  at  <https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Subscription_Management/1.0/html/Sub-
       scription_Management_Guide/index.html>.

ASSOCIATED FILES

	      * /usr/sbin/subscription-manager-gui

	      * /usr/sbin/subscription-manager

	      * /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf

BUGS

       This  client  is  part of Red Hat Subscription Manager. To file bugs against this client, go to https://bugzilla.redhat.com, and select Red
