hi
as you know when we use Alt+Ctrl+Fn (n=1,...,7) (if we are in GUI) we can switch to another virtual console. on the other hand ,we must type konsole (in GUI) in Run Command... to open new konsole.
I used who command to test more and the output was:
iman@imanhost:~/$ who
iman tty1 Aug 1 17:46 (in console)
root :0 Aug 1 15:38 (in konsole)
now the question is:
What is the difference between konsole and console?
only dictation? I don't think so.
many thanks
konsole is a terminal emulator for kde.
console is just an interface so you can communicate to your linux box.
hafnium is right........
wow, thats a very helpful reply, reguardless console is the actual interface to the kernel, konsole (along w/ xsever) interprets your commands and sends them (when necissary) to a consol (the one that xserver is running on) were they make things happen.
one more question!
Are they the same ? I mean in ability.
Are they the same in commands/output/input .... ?
is there any command that work in console but not in konsole,for instance?
thanks hafnium and stathisx and qub333
