The Console test worked perfectly, thanks Andreas!  Here is my test 
program if anybody is interested.  Tested on Xubuntu 20.10 and 
RaspberryPi OS.

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class test5 extends JFrame {
     public test5() {
         super("test5");

         setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);

         Console c = System.console();
         JLabel l = new JLabel(c==null ? "null" : 
c.toString(),JLabel.CENTER);
         add(l,BorderLayout.CENTER);

         setSize(400,300);
         setLocationRelativeTo(null);
         setVisible(true);
     }

     public static void main(String... args) {
         EventQueue.invokeLater(() -> new test5());
     }
}
