Chris G: So I booted the persistent live flash drive with Lu 19.10 installed I think from a daily from 8/19/19 . . . on the same MacPro with the same apple keyboard . . . and there I could get a tty to show up . . . I do have to use fn+cntrl+alt + I used your f4 . . . but then couldn't log in to the tty session, couldn't think of my user name that I might have made or didn't make for it, as I only made it to test something for wxl . . . and then I couldn't get the shell to return to the GUI . . . had to hit the power button to get out of it . . . .
