### How do I switch between the graphical desktop and a TTY?

You can switch to Admin Mode (TTY2) if the graphical desktop is frozen or for admin tasks like updating.

- To switch to TTY2:
  - On most computers: `Ctrl` + `Alt` + `F2`
  - On Apple computers: `CMD` + `Option` + `F2`
  - In rare cases: `FN` + `Ctrl` + `Alt` + `F2`
  - As admin: `sudo chvt 2`

Tip

If the key combinations don’t work, try connecting an external USB keyboard. Sometimes, a built-in keyboard might be broken or unresponsive.

- To switch back to the graphical desktop (TTY1):
  - Exit fbterm with `exit` then use `Ctrl` + `Alt` + `F1`.
  - You can also use `Super` + `Alt` + `←`.
  - As admin: `sudo chvt 1`.
