Ctrl Alt F7 never worked for me.  I would get the message:  Restoring
resolver state, and it would hang there.


From Wikipedia:

Usually in Linux (see Linux console), the first six virtual consoles
provide a text terminal with a login prompt to a Unix shell. The
graphical X Window System starts in the seventh virtual console. In
Linux, the user switches between them with the key combination Alt plus
a function key – for example Alt+F1 to access the virtual console
number 1. Alt+Left arrow changes to the previous virtual console and
Alt+Right arrow to the next virtual console.
