|
|
Hello,
unfortunately, never versions of sddm ignore the "MinimumVT=" flag in "/etc/sddm.conf" by intention. Hence, sddm starts on vt2 instead of vt7 (I use OpenRC). On the other hand, one can restart sddm via "/etc/init.d/display-mananger restart" and then it starts on vt7.
I assume that this is, because at the moment that "/etc/init.d/display-mananger" starts the first time at boot, agetty has only established tty1 on vt1 and therefore sddm uses vt2.
Later, if one restarts "/etc/init.d/display-mananger" agetty has established all tty 1-6 on vt 1-6 and therefore sddm can only use vt7.
So my question is: Has anyone an idea to circumvent that problem / Is there a method that agetty establishes all tty 1-6 before "/etc/init.d/display-mananger" starts the first time?
Thanks in advance

I moved the terminal lines in /etc/inittab for tty 2 through 6 to after the boot command, but before the runlevel definitions.
I mentioned this a while ago when sddm went to >0.19, no one has told me "you shouldn't do that because" yet, and it restores the desired behaviour.
I might look at sddm again after a couple more updates, and see if the "new code" to set a minimum VT works yet, but it didn't when I checked 0.21. |
