Not on tty2 or 3?
Indeed, alt + F2 show the login prompt. But before I pressed alt + F2 ps was not showing any "*getty" program, a bit confusing, especially since there is nothing on first console. > > If you try and start dm (prefdm.service) then you will NOT get a tty1 > getty (prefdm.service conflicts with [email protected]), but all other > tty's should be fine (handled by [email protected]) Maybe, but I never asked to have prefdm and in fact I don't want X terminal. All sys admin expect to have a tty on first console and just having "starting dm service" whereas I know it cannot start is really confusing. Cannot prefdm/X11/whatever be started on 7nd console like during the years 90th ? :) > > Col > > > -- > > Colin Guthrie > colin(at)mageia.org > http://colin.guthr.ie/ > > Day Job: > Tribalogic Limited http://www.tribalogic.net/ > Open Source: > Mageia Contributor http://www.mageia.org/ > PulseAudio Hacker http://www.pulseaudio.org/ > Trac Hacker http://trac.edgewall.org/ -- Olivier Thauvin CNRS - LATMOS ♖ ♘ ♗ ♕ ♔ ♗ ♘ ♖
