In the wee hours I was't seeing what was plainly in front of my face, with trying to use TTYPath=/dev/console. However, now with toTTYPath=/dev/tty10 the problem remains the same, but with actually using TTYPath=/dev/tty10 as originally suggested, tty10 is reachable and has the expected messaging. tty7-tty9 do remain unreachable, as do tty11-tty12.

Thanks for this thread. I just installed 13.2 from openSUSE-Factory-NET-x86_64-Snapshot20140630-Media.iso, and also found that console 10 did not have the system log. Making the edit of /etc/systemd/journald.conf as described above, it now works the way I expected.

How about making it default for openSUSE? We would need someone to split that config file into a systemd-branding-upstream and then package a systemd-branding-openSUSE.

OK, but how do you handle, that both syslog-ng and rsyslog would write to tty10 if installed? A conflict with systemd-branding-openSUSE?

I don't know if it would fit in a branding thing. I would have prefer to have an openSUSE preset for journald like the one we have for systemd ?

It is not a branding ... /dev/tty10 does only exists if virtual consoles are enabled on the platform. That is that there is no /dev/tty10 on s390/x, some PPC64, some arm platforms, and even on some x86_64 platforms I'd like to see a feature that enables the journalctl tool to switch the journald from /dev/console to /dev/tty10 just like the tool klogconsole this does for the kernel log.

You would need to take care that you do not run into the situation where both journald and rsyslog emit to tty10. That would.. lead to duplicated messages, I guess. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
