With a local terminal, you can execute local commands on your device. This article shows how to configure the starting methods for terminals, and how to use local terminals in IGEL OS. 

It is also possible to access a local shell without a terminal session: Alternatively, you can switch to the virtual terminals tty11 and tty12 by pressing [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[F11 ]or [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[F12]. Pressing [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[F1] takes you back to the user interface.
