Terminal Option

[stu]

Would there be a way or something to be able to drop down to a terminal, so one
could run linux commands?

Maybe as part of the main menu screen an option a start terminal option?

Thanks…this is the best clone solution that has the best support!!

What do you mean?

If you load a machine with a tasking, choose Schedule as Debug and it will drop you to a terminal.

Sorry…still new to the game here…I’m having issues with my KVM switch (sometimes FOG does NOT see
a keyboard and then it gets stuck in a loop. some of the admins here suggested that I try to get an
lspci output for the keyboard while plugged directly into the pc and then another directly after the kvm
keyboard is plugged in…so maybe they can see then the hardware, and then perhaps adding a driver,
to accomodate the kvm switch.

They told me eXactly what you said…but I’m on the client side doing this…so that’s probably my problem…
Thanks.

@stu If you can get a machine that’s connected to the KVM as well as connect a physical keyboard/mouse. This way you can use keyboard input to get the lspci information. This would, of course, still be done on the client machine, but should get you to a functional point again.
