Golden oldie, terminal access in rpi ?

1st Official Post

    Hey folks

    Sorry, I did a lot of searching on this one and the threads that came up didn't work, but also hinted tantalizingly that it was possible.
    SSH is a pain in the rear from my phone/tablet to make minor adjustments on the CLI, so I guess I have confirmation bias to hope it's possible.
    I install the tools addon, and when I launch it it says something like "Start a terminal?" but nothing happens.
    thanks and sorry for the (I'm sure generally known) question.

    Some of the tools are console only.. requiring you to open an SSH console. There is a web-based SSH console add-on in our repo which might be easier on a tablet device.

    Is that to say there's no ability to run a terminal right on the libreelec screen?
