Ctrl-Alt-F1 used to reach a login prompt on the console, but my debian

All of the other virtual consoles work as expected, but I would still like
to solve the problem.
I have inspected journalctl logging during/after the last boot and nothing
stands out.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Which display manager do you have installed?
I see a bug report
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=953328 that sddm
prevents tty1 from having a login prompt. It has not been fixed since
it was reported in March for some reason, so likely to affect testing too.
I am using SDDM to launch kde, which is relevant. My other two
graphical distributions are running lightdm, which winds up running on
vt7. My /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service file details
launching sddm after tty1 has a getty, so I'm confused as to why I don't
actually get one.
Oh, read the link you provided! Thanks! Applied fix listed there and I
have tty01 back!
