Is there a way to see the text of tty7 without shutting down Xorg, just like switching to another tty?
I presume you want to see the X server logs for your GUI under VT7 (Ctrl+Alt+F7). In other words, the text that gets printed if you were to do a text boot, login and type "startx" (before the script hands over to your DE).
If this is the case, you can simply open your Xserver logs:
less /var/log/Xorg.0.log
For boot logs that would appear prior to the console login & X greeter, check:
less /var/log/boot.log
The greeter creates its own logs. If you're using lightdm (the default greeter), then you'll find them all under:
/var/log/lightdm/
