Re: Problems with the console

tty6    "/libexec/getty 38400"        hurd        on    secure trusted
console
Are the lines wrapped like this or only because your mail client
wrapped them?
   

my mail client wrapped them
For my feeling everything is correct.  I assume you used the newest
Hurd package and rebooted the system after configuring the console
server.
 

In fact, i have this problem since i have installed debian hurd with 
debian cross installation. The console never worked. Recently i have 
only update all packages hoping it will work now : apt-get 
upgrade;apt-get dist-upgrade

IIRC you said both the vga and ncursesw consoles did not work.  In
that case I guess something is wrong with the console server or
something around there.  You could have a look at the PIDs of the
servers and see if they don't change (=die).
Can you access the console server using ls?  For example:
ls /dev/vcs/1
Does that show all nodes (console, display, input)?
 

ls /dev/vcs/1
   console display input
Seems correct :/
Here are my processus list: i am running single user mode for now
