What commands did you try? I'd be a little surprised if nothing that
could do this was present in the installation environment, but it might
not be what you were expecting to use.

"Did not work" is not usually a helpful description. What *did* happen?

If you used Alt+F2 to get to the current console, you might need to
switch back to whichever console you were originally on. The default
expectation would be that you were probably on the first console, so you
should be able to get back there using Alt+F1.
