Anu, ctrl-alt-f1 doesn't open the terminal, it changes the virtual terminal you are seeing on your screen from the one running X to one running a login shell. What Thomas meant was that you need to do export DISPLAY=:0 before trying to run plasmashell. on the vt that x is running on that environment variable is set, but on the vt1 shell it's not, so it doesn't know to run plasmashell on the other vt which has DISPLAY :0.
