hey all,
i would like to work in runlevel 3 more often,i
find it’s a big difference from working from the konsole.
you’re left with nothing, how do you change line, copy-paste, …
who can point me to some tutorials, books, to get the hang of that?
thank you
johan

Not sure what you mean by “change line”, but there are a lot of shortcuts
that leave you with a lot more than the initially-perceived “nothing”.
For the record all of my servers run at runlevel 3 24x7 and it works well
but if you are wanting to do this on a desktop machine or workstation then
I think that’s just a bit extreme for most things (possible, even
productive, but extreme).
For copy/paste functionality check the man page for the screen command:
man screen
It is a command you should probably use 24x7 anyway if you can as it
simplifies life, saves headaches, etc. Self-promoting link:

Good luck.

Indeed, screen is ‘AMAZING’ … but it does require one use it at reasonably frequent intervals not to forget its commands. A couple of years back I used it extensively, and now I have forgotten everything.
I went through a phase where I ran two of the older PC’s on our home LAN in run level 3 all the time. Once I had them running, I never looked at their display directly.
Rather I accessed them from a PC running KDE3 via ssh, and sftp. For example "ssh -X <user@my-old-pc-ip-address> " meant I could launch an app on the old PC, and have its gui displayed on my KDE3 PC (with the graphics sent over the LAN). Very nice ! I also had the program “nx” (server) installed on these old PCs, and I could very nicely get their desktop via nx client from my KDE3 PC.
IMHO there was a definite speed increase by using such methods (assuming, of course, a fast home LAN).

one of the real beauties of Linux is that you can have your cake, and
eat it too (if you understand that expression)…
from the way i understand your posting, what you are really saying is
you enjoy the full screen command line experience rather than the
tiny piece of screen that Konsole give you in KDE…right?
try this:
-hold down the left Ctrl and left Alt key
-press the F1 key
in a micro-flash you will be switched to a full screen (run level 3
like) terminal…where you will see a terminal prompt which includes
login:
-type in your user ID, and press enter
it will reply
password:
you know what to do!
then you are at a “runlevel 3” screen…BUT, your X Windows session
still lives, to get back to it just, Ctrl+Alt+F7
magic, you are signed in in two different places…and, you can go
Ctrl+Alt+F3 and sign in as another user, or even root!!
fun huh?
i could tell you have to have two different users logged into two
different instances of X also…but, i won’t right now…

Have a lot of fun…
