[EN] tty_visual-garbage
« on: 2018/07/01, 20:36:30 »
HI
I suddenly recently got visual garbage in all the tty (1-6).Not a big deal but annoying in such a fine system as siduction.
I tried to google that but no results.Any clue?

@melmarkerYour reply is a bit cryptic for me. My knowledge is limited.
What does it mean, "Debian default is 7" ?
Thanks

Just did a full-upgrade a few minutes ago.Same behaviour.
The plasma login screen appears for one second and I am redirected to tty1 (still with the visual garbage).ctrl+alt+F7 brings me back to the plasma login screen and the login goes without problem.

Strange: it is my first experience of the kind. Not dramatic, just annoying.

Thank you..

debian starts the login on 7 - 1-6 are reserved for ttys by default - right now the might be a hicup in sddm (very slow start) - normally vt1 is displayed in the starting time - might disappear with the next updates. Unfortunately i can't reproduce this bug.

@melmarkerThanks.It starts at 7... for one second then falls back to tty1.But, as I mentionned in this threa, I can go back to 7 and login from there as usual.Will wait then for this bug to be ironed out.
But the tty garbage is still there.

There is a thread in the german subforum which recomments the use of a monotype font in such a case.

The sequence of events:
  • Boot : normal
  • Plasma login screen apprears for one second then is replaced by login line in tty1
  • ctrl+alt+F7 brings back the plasma login screen
  • login: normal
Just something a bit weird.
Thanks.

Sorry, my mistake. We need to see /var/log/Xorg.0.log
