[opensuse-factory] empty tty10

Anyone know why post-13.1 vtty10 is nothing but black instead of kernel messages, if it exists at all? The system I have currently booted to Factory won't let me get past vtty6 (in runlevel 3). Others I can get there, but it's empty, or I can get there only if in runlevel 5, where it's still only black. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Let me guess: you are not running rsyslog. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

If that's what it takes and it isn't started via default installation configuration, then I'm not. I have many 13.1 installations. All have messages on tty10. I have many 13.2 installations. None have messages on tty10. In the currently multi-user.target booted 13.2, ps -A | grep sys produces nothing resembling rsyslog. All 5 lines are systemd* lines. Also, none of tty7-tty12 are reachable. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

don't know if factory has totally switched to journald but if it the case by defaut in /etc/systemd/journald.conf those 2 lines are commented ForwardToConsole=yes TTYPath=/dev/tty10 uncomment them -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Board GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot ~~~Don't take Life too serious.
