[arch-general] Login manager does not exit properly
Hi, sddm/lightdm works properly, but if I stop the sddm/lighdm service (systemctl stop sddm), tty1 (where it was started) goes blank with a blinking cursor instead of exiting cleanly and showing the login prompt. Can someone help me debug this? Thanks, Siddhartha
Hello Siddhartha, Out of my personal experience, use can try the following command to activate the login prompt: (from another tty or ssh, etc.) sudo systemctl restart getty@tty1.service Hope that helps :) Best, Yen Chi Hsuan On 16 April 2015 at 13:01, Siddhartha <sh.siddhartha@gmail.com> wrote:

Yup, that works. Thanks a lot! I wonder why it happens though, and how to go about debugging this. Probably a bug in how the login managers interact with xorg? For example if I set the default tty to tty7, even then it takes over tty1 and leads to a black screen. Regards, Siddhartha
