Hello list, long time no talk here.

I have a C-180 and when in the Main Menu (booting) I have previously
setup the Console path to Serial, what input do I need to set it back to normal console (Keyboard/screen) ?

Quoted 4 lines

Main Menu: Enter command > pa con

Console path: SERIAL_1.9600.8.none

I have installed Debian through this console, and would like to play
with it the usual way now ;o)

Um ... "path console graphics" could be a good starting point. It probably tells you that "graphics" isn't a good path and shows a list of what could be, but that's almost as good.

Not sure though, I haven't had the chance to play with a C180, but that's what I do with the other Cxx0s.

"path console graphics(0)" sets the console to the built-in video on my C180; graphics(x) (where x is the slot number as printed on the back of the case) sets it to the video card in that slot...

Well ... yes. (I just had to set a B180L to mode 12 on graphics(0) manually from the serial console as that seems to be the only way to make it work with an A4033A with the usual 3-BNC cable.)

Now that I think about it ... I probably had to use pci(4) or some such once on a C360 but then again that one didn't have a built-in adapter.

Oh, and really, my Linux-running C240 still has the console on serial - _and_ X and a bunch of virtual terminals also available on the graphics card.

Slot 3 alone is single port. Slot 3a would be port one of a dual monitor port card and slot 3b would be the second monitor port of that dual monitor port card. derek

In reply to Rod Smart

Thank you people ;o)

The consol is now back to graphic card, and debian is loading further
than I have previously had it loading ;o)

Just have to get gdm to run after configuring it.
