how to open CLI during installation

command-line system-installation

I am maybe an idiot but I cannot find a standard bulletproof keyboard shortcut for opening the CLI / Terminal during ubuntu 14.* desktop installation.

and how to close it after im done?

so please help.. :(


Solution 1:

TTY access on the installer is the same as on regular Ubuntu, CtrlAltF1-6 (F keys ,one through six).

Terminal emulator (GUI terminal) is available only in the Try Ubuntu mode, not when installer is running.

To return to the GUI use CtrlAltF7
