By default 6 consoles (ttys) are spawned at boot in Linux systems. All of them are not needed at any point of time. To save memory reduce the number of ttys. I keep only one tty enabled. On Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) to 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) do the following:
# sudo mv /etc/init/tty2.conf{,.bak}Do the same for tty3 to tty6.
Oh yes! As Ubuntu 12.04 has disabled GUI root login (at least in Beta) I am learning to use sudo. :'(
Used it thnx!
Welcome! 🙂
Thanks.
What abaout sudo -s?
Just another way to achieve the same 🙂
My ttys 3-6 aren’t working on a fresh install of Ubuntu 13.04!!!
