Version: (using KDE 4.0.98) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages I dont know if the explanation is clear, and if its technical possible at all: You all know the terminals you can reach through Ctrl+Alt+F1 ... It would be nice, if there is an option to use one of this terminals, so if xserver crashes, you can work on like nothing happened, in your terminal.
I think you can do this using the 'screen' program. 1. Start 'screen' in one of the Linux terminals and create a new shell (accessed via Ctrl+Alt+F1) 2. Detach from 'screen' in the Linux terminal 3. In your X session, open Konsole and use 'screen -r' to resume the detached session. If X crashes I believe it would be possible to resume the session using 'screen -r' in the Linux terminal - assuming that X hasn't locked hard and terminal switching still works.
Hi, Assuming the above works for you, I will close this shortly because I do not think it would be a good idea to add such a little-used feature to Konsole which is better handled by other programs.
Thought it is a good idea, but if i am alone with that opinion, then closing the wish is no problem for me. Thought it would be good, as example open "konsole --real-terminal" (or within some menu) and not having to type and mention all the commands would be a nice feature.
