Hello, on my archlinux test computer i would have first console not cleaned and other spawned statically (crazy idea isn't it).
So I've turned NAutoVTs to 1 in /etc/systemd/systemd-logind.conf. I've copied /usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service into /etc/systemd/system/ and patched as following: --- /usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service 2012-05-03 04:37:09.000000000 +0200 +++ /etc/systemd/system/getty@.service 2012-04-16 01:11:52.046979314 +0200 @@ -18,14 +18,14 @@ [Service] Environment=TERM=linux -ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty %I 38400 +ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --noclear %I 38400 Restart=always RestartSec=0 UtmpIdentifier=%I TTYPath=/dev/%I -TTYReset=yes -TTYVHangup=yes -TTYVTDisallocate=yes +TTYReset=no +TTYVHangup=no +TTYVTDisallocate=no KillMode=process IgnoreSIGPIPE=no After this i've symlink all my gettys in /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants # cd /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants # ls -l total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2012-03-12 22:40 getty@tty1.service -> ../getty@.service lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2012-03-12 22:40 getty@tty2.service -> ../getty@.service lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2012-03-12 22:40 getty@tty3.service -> ../getty@.service lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2012-03-12 22:40 getty@tty4.service -> ../getty@.service lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2012-03-12 22:40 getty@tty5.service -> ../getty@.service lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2012-03-12 22:40 getty@tty6.service -> ../getty@.service lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2012-03-12 22:40 getty@tty7.service -> ../getty@.service lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2012-03-12 22:40 getty@tty8.service -> ../getty@.service lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2012-03-12 22:40 getty@tty9.service -> ../getty@.service My issue is at every systemd package upgrade, getty@tty1.service is replaced by a new one linked to /usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service. And i loose my configuration. I suggested to archlinux maintainer to flag as "backup" getty@tty1.service to avoid this replacment. But it doesn't seems to be a good solution. Another solution was to remove getty@tty1.service from /etc/systemd/system/ (in arch package). This works with static vt allocation, but when NAutoVTs=0 (default), wihtout this file, there is no tty1 console. It would be sad this is the main expected behaviour. Why with autovt we need this file? I'm also wondering if we keep in mind the smart hierarchy of /usr/lib/systemd/system, /etc/systemd/system, /run/systemd/system, why this file is not in /usr/lib/systemd/system/getty.target.wants? This would let administrator override it cleanly.
