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.

BR,
Jeremy

Does this mean &quot;VT1&quot; (ctrl+alt+f1)?<br>
-&gt; first enter<br>
export DISPLAY=:0<br>
