[EN] SOLVED TTY1 Unfinished
« on: 2020/03/28, 14:54:19 »
Hi. Within the last 2 or 3 weeks I have noticed that when switching to tty1 that it has remained unfinished or hung at a random line. Today it has stopped at "FINISHED Daily man-db regeneration" but this is not consistent. Has also stopped at "Started network manager" and "Started Nvidia persistance daemon". This appears to be the only issue, tty2 and up all work fine, so I can do upgrades using tty2. Just wondering if there is an easy way to end the tty1. "w" command does not show tty1. 


Thanks
cliff

That is on purpose, there was a change in debian introduced by some systemd-behavior change. Now they boot in VT1 and switch to graphical (VT7 in siduction), but don't free VT1 for subsequent use. There was a reason for that and I read about it, but forgot what it was....
You can use all the other terminals (STRG+ALT+F2-F6), of course, and cycling through tty2-6 +graphical 7 with ALT F2-F7.

That is the reason why.

And read the output of "apt changlog sddm".

Yes, there is.

Ctrl-Alt-F2 and log in as root.

Code: [Select]
systemctl isolate multi-user.target
Now you get tty1, and you can log in there.
