[Touch-packages] [Bug 1566073] Re: Use /dev/tty0 instead of /dev/console for VT operations
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users. ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu Trusty) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1566073 Title: Use /dev/tty0 instead of /dev/console for VT operations Status in Light Display Manager: Fix Released Status in Light Display Manager 1.18 series: Fix Released Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in lightdm source package in Trusty: Confirmed Bug description: LightDM currently uses /dev/console for VT operations. In Ubuntu 16.04 this does not appear to work anymore. Switching to /dev/tty0 works, and this matches what logind and GDM use. When these operations don't work this can affect the ability to switch between sessions. There doesn't seem to be any documentation on what the correct device to use for VT operations is, so matching other software is probably just reducing the risk of hitting bugs.
