I have recently updated my system following the recent stable update announcement. No issues with the grub update - I ran the install-grub script before rebooting as advised on the forum.
System is fine except for this one annoying bug. I run StableDiffusion locally, and like to have nvtop open in a tty (ctrl + alt + f-keys) so I can easily tab between the two on the fly, to monitor my GPU utilisation. However, following the recent update, whenever I run nvtop via tty as described above, I cannot ctrl + alt + f1 back into the desktop - the shortcut simply doesn’t do anything and I am stuck in the nvtop tty. The only way out its to exit the nvtop tty with f10.
What is likely causing the issue and what should I do? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
On Plasma systems (your profile says so) - that shortcut will send you to the initial TTY where sddm is started - use Ctrl+Alt+F2 to get to the desktop.
Once in a TTY,
use ALT+left_arrow or ALT+right_arrow (the left and right arrow keys) to cycle through the TTYs until you are back to where you started from.
Tried these suggestions, but no fix. However, it turns out I was mistaken: I can switch to different ttys, just not the desktop. For example, if I have htop running on f3, and start nvtop on f4, I can only toggle between f3 and f4 - f1 and f2 do nothing. The arrow keys suggestion does not work.
However, when I try to navigate to the GUI via this method I get a hang, and then the arrow keys stop working. I have to alt f4 to nvtop and exit with f10 as usual.
