[SOLVED] sddm, MinimumVT ignored

sddm always starts on vt1, i can't understand why.
system is fully upgraded to yesterday.

# grep VT /etc/sddm.conf
MinimumVT=7

# journalctl |grep sddm|grep vt
[..]
set 13 11:23:47 Gozer sddm[12282]: Adding new display on vt 1 ...
set 13 11:23:47 Gozer sddm[12282]: Running: /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp -auth /var/run/sddm/{ae1e043a-934c-4bbf-a7c5-4f42541e2629} -background none -noreset -displayfd 18 vt1
[..]

Any idea why?

--EDIT--
New sddm.conf renamed section for MinimumVT, in the past was [Xdisplay], now it is [X11]

Re: [SOLVED] sddm, MinimumVT ignored

I still have this problem, although I have `MinimumVT=12` set in the section `X11`.

The complete `/etc/sddm.conf.d/01-main.conf`, sans comments and empty lines, and username censored:

[Autologin]
Relogin=false
Session=xinitrc.desktop
User=<censored>
[General]
HaltCommand=/usr/bin/loginctl poweroff
RebootCommand=/usr/bin/loginctl reboot
Namespaces=
Numlock=none
[Theme]
Current=maldives
CursorTheme=Neutral
DisableAvatarsThreshold=15
EnableAvatars=true
FacesDir=/usr/share/sddm/faces
ThemeDir=/usr/share/sddm/themes
[Users]
DefaultPath=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
HideShells=/bin/false,/sbin/nologin
HideUsers=pulse,courier,tss,amule,wwwoffle,signal-cli,dhcp,_skype
MaximumUid=65535
MinimumUid=1000
RememberLastSession=false
RememberLastUser=false
ReuseSession=false
[Wayland]
EnableHiDPI=false
SessionCommand=/usr/share/sddm/scripts/wayland-session
SessionDir=/usr/share/wayland-sessions
SessionLogFile=.local/share/sddm/wayland-session.log
[X11]
DisplayCommand=/usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup
DisplayStopCommand=/usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xstop
EnableHiDPI=false
MinimumVT=12
ServerArguments=-nolisten tcp -retro -reset -terminate -quiet -once
ServerPath=/usr/bin/X
SessionCommand=/usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsession
SessionDir=/usr/share/xsessions
SessionLogFile=.local/share/sddm/xorg-session.log
UserAuthFile=.Xauthority
XauthPath=/usr/bin/xauth
XephyrPath=/usr/bin/Xephyr

Nevertheless, sddm opens on VT2 and not VT12 (VT1 is used by bootup messages).

Re: [SOLVED] sddm, MinimumVT ignored

Please don't necrobump solved threads, kokoko3k used the wrong section … 7 years ago - and that's not your problem.

I'd check whether there's a dominant config that overrides this (grep -r MinimumVT /etc/sddm.conf*) and whether you can use other limits (eg. 7) and otherwise please open a new thread.

And just to note, for anyone coming here: According to `man 5 sddm.conf` this option is no longer honoured, although still not removed from the config file:

`man 5 sddm.conf` wrote:

       MinimumVT=
              Minimum  virtual terminal number that will be used by the first display. Virtual terminal number will increase as new displays added.  This
              setting is no longer available since SDDM v0.20.

Kudos go to the people of Artix Linux.

So I will trash SDDM. And I edited the Wiki to remove the now wrong information about `MinimumVT` and added a note that it is no longer supported.

OK, case closed, and now I also understand why necrobombing is not wanted: "[...]no longer relevant due to Arch's rolling nature[...]". I should have created a new thread, and in the old thread only if it turns out to be still relevant for the old information make a reference later to the new thread.
