Hi there,
I just try to install a cauldron to setup a test IPv6 firewall/router.
To setup server I do a minimum install:
- /boot on its own partition
- /var /tmp and swap on lvm
- select no packages categories but yes install doc
- no post configuration, so no X11 (hey it's a server)
At boot the system started but stop to "starting display manager" (??)
and I were unable to reach any text terminal.
No text terminal at all? Not on tty2 or 3?
Indeed, alt + F2 show the login prompt. But before I pressed alt + F2 ps
was not showing any "*getty" program, a bit confusing, especially since
there is nothing on first console.
There has been a lot of discussion about this, and I'd just like some
clarification of how the folks implementing thought it was supposed to
turn out.
My understanding was that the DM was to start on tty1, and some lower
subset of the ttys, say 2-6 or 7, was supposed to be reserved for
alternate graphical logins, but that console (getty) ttys would still be
available on the higher ttys. Maybe not as easy to find, but more
consistent with current usage.
I'm seeing what Olivier is seeing (although this is a desktop system and
not a minimal system). In my primary desktop, I can hit CTRL-ALT-Fn for
n = 1 to 12, and I get no response at all. It just stays on the same
desktop.
Bug or feature ?
