[Techtalk] monitoring realtime stuffs on F1 console

[Carla Schroder]

O Great Gurus,

On Linuxes past I was accustomed to switching to console F1 to see what was 
happening behind whatever GUI I was running. Nice endless lines of chatter, 
error messages, all the subterranean mumblings of an active system. My 
current system does not do this- when I switch to F1 there's just a plain ole 
boring login prompt. Any notions how to make it come back? F7 is always bound 
to the first X session, nothing weird there.

thankee kindly,
puzzled down on the farm
