"importance medium" is wrong. This is critical. A virtual terminal can save you from a disaster.
Having access to a virtual terminal may allow to recover from a critical situation when something is preventing the graphical environment from functioning properly. It may allow you to kill some process that is hanging the system. A few minutes ago, Unity suddenly stopped responding; the keyboard responded to ctrl+alt+f1, so if it wasn't because of this bug, I would have been able to log in from the virtual terminal and try to figure out what was blocking the whole system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1016457 Title: Ctrl+Alt+F1 doesn't show virtual terminal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1016457/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
