VirtualBox's Linux Virtual machine text mode and graphics mode switching problem

1. The default boot mode is text mode

If you want to boot into plain text automatically,

Modify/etc/inittab

Find one of them

id:5:initdefault:

This line indicates that the runlevel at startup is 5, which is graphical mode

If I change it to 3, that's text mode

id:3:initdefault:

This is because the Linux operating system has six different runlevels (run level). Under different runlevels, the system has different states. The six runlevels are as follows:

0: Downtime (remember not to set initdefault to 0 as this will cause Linux to fail to start)

1: Single user mode, just like the safe mode under Win9X.

2: Multiple users, but no NFS.

3: Full multi-user mode, standard runlevel.

4:1 generally not, in some special cases can be used for 1 of a number of things.

5: X11, namely into the X-Window system.

6: Reboot (remember not to set initdefault to 6, as this will cause Linux to keep restarting).

Runlevel 3 is the standard Console character interface mode we will enter.

2. Exit ES53en-ES54en forcibly and enter text mode

Open 1 terminal

Input init 3

The above mentioned is the running level of linux, but I tried to run the command init3 under root, but the black box did not respond for half a day, startx is also waiting for half a day. Heart tired. Just keep looking for shortcuts,

It is still not difficult to enter graphics into text mode, I quickly tried ctrl+alt+f4(ps: other hosts can try ctrl+alt+f{1-6})

Finally y tried N times, have tried to enter chrome typing are problems shut down restart are fast to give up, suddenly found a new continent.

This is probably because f7 doesn't seem to be any kind of shortcut, so try alt+fn+f7 and get from text to graphics in seconds, not like startx.

ps: alt+fn+f7 and ctrl+alt+fn+f7 will do. It is the key on the left side of the keyboard, not ctrl on the right. Manual is funny.
