when i hit CTRL+ALT+F1 I enter into the console mode.
I enter my username and password. whenever i type in a command and some of the information scrolls all the way up.

how do i manage to scroll up in the console mode and read the contexts?

I tried using FN+Page up and FN+Page down. but it doesn't want to work. is there something wrong here? or is there another way to scroll in the console mode?

As far I know, there is no way to scroll up and down in console.

shift+page up or down

but there's a limited scrollback buffer set in your shell profile, so dont expect to scrollback infinately

if that's not enough you can try:

your --command | more

where your --command is what you want to run
