adds the note that ctrl-alt-f2 is not bounding

| Aug 23, 2016 at 11:47 | comment | added | Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy | @Anwar you can use any F key from 1 to 6 on any Ubuntu flavor. The reason why I put F2 is because that's a habit from my Fedora days - on Fedora 21 the tty on F1 was blank, apparently because that's where X server was running | |
| Aug 23, 2016 at 11:44 | comment | added | Anwar | Why is exactly Ctrl-Alt-F2? Can't I do so using Ctrl-Alt-F3? | |

Once upon a time, you'd normally log in via the text console and then run xinit or startx to actually get into X11, if you needed to run a GUI program for some reason. :)

| Jun 15, 2015 at 12:12 | comment | added | Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy | @Huey this is accessible on all systems , failsafe, unless you've manually disabled ttys, and is basically how linux/unix is by default - text console. GUI is really optional on *nix systems | |
| Jun 15, 2015 at 12:11 | comment | added | Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy | @ThomasW. I know, but on some systems like Fedora tty1 isn't there, so I got into habbit of saying F2 | |
| Jun 15, 2015 at 12:10 | comment | added | Huey | Oh that's great. Is that the failsafe built in for dummies or does it serve some greater purpose? | |
