Running latest OS6.10.1
I want to log into Linux console to troubleshoot log files. Connected monitor to HDMI out. Connected keyboard to rear USB port.
Enabled SSH in GUI.
I get the login prompt. I enter username (same as web login). I enter password. (Same as web login.)
Screen flashes a message (cannot read it). and returns to the Login prompt.
If I try entering the incorrect password, I get a msg. Incorrect password, so I know I am using the correct password.
Any suggestions?

Did you download the log zip file from the log page in the admin web ui? If not, then start there.
You'll need to use journalctl to access the logs. There's a lot of stuff there, so you might find it easier to search for specific stuff
# journalctl --no-pager | grep -i 'search string'
For example you can use 'btrfs' as the search string to look for file system errors.
Google on "journalctl" to find more options.

Why are you thinking that? Can you give us more info on the symptoms you are seeing?

Re: Cannot log into Linux console
What apps do you have installed (if any)?
Have you checked to see if the OS system is full?
You can just run journalctl -r and page until you see something interesting I guess. The -r option reverses the sort order (so the newest entries appear first).
