How to return from Linux shell (Alt + F1) to the Android-x86 OS desktop?

How to return from Linux shell (Alt + F1) to the Android-x86 OS
desktop?

And how to interpret the IP addresses returned by the "netcfg"? The
second line is:

eth0 UP 10.0.2.15 255.255.255.0 0x00001043

What does "UP" and "0x00001043" mean? Is "10.0.2.15" the real ip
address of eth0?
When I type ipconfig in my physical host (XP) I get:

Ethernet adapter VirtualBox Host-Only Network:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.56.1
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : fe80::a00:27ff:fe00:1cbe%8
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :

Note that my physical host is behind a NAT and 192.168.56.1 differs
from 10.0.2.15...

I learnt many from the discussions in this group, many thanks!

Alt + F7 to turn to OS.

I supposed 'UP' means the interface is on.

I think you should configure the VirtualBox to 'bridge' your local
host network to the virtual machine's ethernet interface.

You are running android-x86 in a virtual machine whose network adapter is configured to use NAT. When you do that Virtualbox will assign it an IP in the range 10.0.x.x, so this is normal.

UP means that the link is up and functional. 0x1043 are flags to suggest that the interface is up and running and can support broadcast and multicast. You can type ifconfig eth0 to get a textual version of the flags.

Oh, yes, i see. But http://www.android-x86.org/documents/debug-howto
requires me to configure network as host-only device. I don't know why
host-only is required...

And my another question is that how can I turn off the android-x86 OS
inside except from force it to be closed from virtual machine?

It is not mandatory to have a host only device in order to debug.

You can debug with adb in all the 3 modes - NAT, host only and bridged. For NAT you will have to set up port forwarding (vboxmanage modifyvm --natpf1 ...) for one of the host's TCP port to be forwarded to the guest port 5555.
