Stuck in matchbox window

Raspberry Pi Asked by Christian Benner on December 2, 2020

I used nodm and matchbox-window-manager to boot my raspberry pi into a Java application without desktop being shown but I am now stuck in matchbox window and I need access to the terminal. How can I escape the matchbox window/access terminal from this point? I’ve tried ALT+F1-6 with no luck. I can end the Java program process but then its just a black screen.

(I’ve also tried mashing my keyboard)

One Answer

As a comment pointed out, I was using the wrong shortcut. To escape the window manager and get to a terminal use CTRL+ALT+F(1-6)
