CTRL + Alt + F1 of Linux/Unix does not work on ESX 4.1

Hello

One of the greatest things about Linux and Unix is that it supports several

consoles that can be accessed using CtrlAltFx where Fx are functions such as F1, F2, and so on.

Since the upgrade to ESX 4.1 4 CtrlAltFx on the virtual Linux/UNIX does not work!

Is this a BUG?

Try the next step of http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1006012. Also make sure the VMware tools and the VMhardware are updated.

"Press CTRL + ALT + space, press F1 (or) the function key while now always CTRL + ALT.

  • Windows will start, the screen starts flashing and then the screen say Logging Off, then restore the screen to the CTRL ALT DEL all other functions will not work.

    Start my computer, it will default to the CTRL ALT DEL screen.  After graduating in the login screen I enter the password.  Windows will start and then the screen starts flashing and the screen say Logging Off, then restore the screen to the CTRL ALT DEL I can boot into safe mode.  All other functions will not work.

    Thank you

    I guess you wanted to ask how to solve the problem. If then all in Safe Mode you can use system restore to set up Windows to a point when the problem did not exist.

  • After the upgrade to Fusion 4.02 flip and alt - tab in W7 aero does not work do not

    After that I upgraded to merge (after the use of Fusion 3) 4.02, Windows 7 aero flip and alt - tab show black screens instead of their normal screen content. I did not have this problem with Fusion 3.

    Aero flip I feel only shows black boxes, not content, this very interesting feature of rendering useless. Similarly, using alt - tab, the content does not appear. An example of what I get when using aero flip in my virtual machine is shown below:

    Hi halcwb,

  • Satellite C660D-178: ethernet on a usb Linux support does not work

    Hello

    I found that none of the two usb ports can handle ethernet via the usb port. This is a usual Linux feature - when you connect two computers with a usb cable, it can function as a network interface.
    Surprisingly, C660D-178 appears to be the very first machine, with that I found that it doesn't work.

    Why?

    No chance to activate?

    Thank you
    D.

    Hello

    USB never tested and used by Ethernet but there is a tool called USB Over Ethernet
    It s 15 days trial version and compatible with Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/7

    You can try to test this using a version of Windows in this case you can know if it s linux question or maybe this feature is not supported by the hardware

  • Locking the computer does not work

    Run Windows 7 Enterprise (64-bit)-

    Just to blow the windows + L combination ctrl + alt + del and 'start'-> lock does not work. (they work perfectly for years!)

    Windows + m, windows + e both works very well.  right click on taskbar & works Task Manager.

    checked for HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System registry entries (only DontDisplayLogonHoursWarnings (1) & LogonHoursAction (2))

    No hardware changes, no new applications or other software - with the exception of the items installed via windows update (value recommended settings).

    Any help appreciated...

    For someone who implied that they like to understand * why * things happen... ;-)

    Troubleshooting this would entail now manually install a fix from Microsoft at the same time, restart and test the features you lost before - BY PATCH.

    There is no more it wasn't a single patch from Microsoft (you'll get through them all, without ill effect) or you will find one that has the problem.

  • ATL-TAB within the APPLICATION does not work

    I'm a convert from windows and love the mac but Alt - Tab within the application does not work - very annoying. I often have multiple windows in the same application, and if the only way to go is to use 4 fingers Mission control, it's terrible because Mission control lists all windows in a small size and pain to know that you want to go. While with alt - tab, I can quickly cycle or just go to the last which is often I want to go to.

    It is one of the major issues Mac usability for me.

    Any tips? or addons?

    Thank you.

  • I can't print screen to work and so stick does not work.

    I'm taking a picture of a game screen to show the Wild Tangent which happens when my game crashes.  According to Microsoft.com not having that one screen open I just press the prt sc button.  Then I go on Paint but when I click on edit, only paste shows, not dough.  Is it because the screenshot does not work?  I tried pressing alt + prt sc, but who does not work either.

    Restore down the window using the (restore in low/maximize) button then alt + prt SC. You can also use the tool to capture in all programs, accessories. The Snipping Tool is the same results and is easier and faster to do!
