I think the problem is that logind actually tries to start autovt@tty6. Thus the chain is: autovt@tty6 => resolved as instance of autovt@ => resolved as alias of getty@ The whole alias thing is very weird , as aliasing depends on load orer. There is discussion upstream of better handling but not fixed yet. In the meantime, you should be able to fix the issue via `ln -s [email protected] /etc/systemd/system/[email protected]` -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler
