This seems weird.
When I press Ctrl-Alt-F[1-6], nothing happens.
The keys are registered correctly

chvt 1 gives me
Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console
sudo chvt 1 and sudo chvt 2 bring me to the x window login screen.
sudo chvt 3 brings me to the text console login.
What should I do to enable the Ctrl-Alt-F* to bring me to the text console?
F1-F12keys locked to the Volume, Brightness, Touchpad etc. In such case one has to press e.g.Ctrl+Alt+Fn+F2. Isn't that the case? – v_2e Nov 09 '18 at 05:13
