Note that in any case, a system can have only one /dev/console. Procedure below gets access to /dev/tty? where ? > 0. Here's how I get a second (and third and fourth) virtual terminal with 1.2 Tablet UX version of uxlaunch: 1. Edit /etc/syslinux/syslinux.conf (or similar) and set bootloader timeout to, say, 10 seconds. Turn off splash screen (delete "quiet" or "hiddenmenu"). 2. When you reboot, hit tab when bootloader appears in order to get a prompt. 3. Type a space at the end of the line and then "3" (no quotes) to get an X-less console boot. (What are we going to do to get text-mode boot with systemd? Not sure myself.) 4. At prompt, login. You should be able to change among virtual terminals with Ctrl-Alt-F? mechanism, not to mention "chvt." If you still don't have multiple virtual terminals, try "openvt /bin/bash". 5. On one virtual terminal, type "uxlaunch&" Starting uxlaunch in background preserves access to other vt's with usual mechanisms.
