Hello,

with the last update on Tumbleweed we've noticed the following issue after
rebooting the server


# systemctl is-system-running
degraded

# systemctl

a journalctl for the service did not provide useful details but a strace in the
service file showed

824   access("/dev/vcs2", F_OK)         = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
824   access("/dev/vcs3", F_OK)         = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
...

The service can be started manually because from the active session we can see

# ls -l /dev/vcs*
crw-rw---- 1 root tty 7,   0 Jan  8 12:18 /dev/vcs
crw-rw---- 1 root tty 7,   1 Jan  8 12:18 /dev/vcs1
crw-rw---- 1 root tty 7,   2 Jan  8 12:18 /dev/vcs2
crw-rw---- 1 root tty 7,   3 Jan  8 12:18 /dev/vcs3
...

# systemctl list-dependencies systemd-vconsole-setup.service
systemd-vconsole-setup.service
● ├─kbdsettings.service
● └─system.slice


Would you please check and fix the issue.

Kind regards
Michael
