Package: util-linux
Version: 2.12r-10
Severity: wishlist
File: /sbin/getty
I notice if the last user left the cursor as a blinking underline, it
is still a blinking underline at the login: prompt. Same if the cursor
is a solid red block. Thus there is a feeling that we are not getting
a fully fresh session. Worse than the last user not flushing the
toilet at a public restroom, as the next user has no way of fixing the
cursor before first logging in. Seen on getty 38400 tty1. Reassign to
login or whatever package is the cause.
One can get a blinking cursor via using emacs.

Control: reassign -1 systemd
Hi,
this bug is about various terminal settings not being reset on tty1
(usually a Linux VC). Maybe also about other things, please see the
original bug message.
I am reassigning this to systemd based on:
1) util-linux agetty nowadays allows --init-string also on Linux
Virtual Consoles. That appears to be a valid option to have a
"reproducible" console. See [1] for slightly more info.
2) systemd provides getty@.service, which controls agetty startup.
This unit also specifies --noclear, which might be related.
Considering this, I believe util-linux agetty is not in the position
to make the requested change, and probably also SHOULD not (it is
not setting up the console in the first place).
If this change should happen, it can (and IMO should) by shipping
a modified getty@.service. Or, users can locally override it if they
desire the change, but if Debian does not.
Actually, given that 2006 systemd was not even existent, I'm not sure if
this bug report is even still valid.
Thus closing.
If you can reproduce this on an up-to-date Debian system, please
reopen/file a new bug report.
