No TTYs after latest update.

After the latest update, I no longer have any output on any of the TTYs that are normally accessed with Ctrl+Alt+F(n).
Thoughts?

Re: No TTYs after latest update.

Needs more information, like graphics driver and general configuration, are you expected to boot a TTY or should a graphical environment start? In doubt set up https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … de_setting

Mod note: Not an Application issue, moving to NC

Running Nivida drivers 450.57-1.  On startup SDDM starts and launches KDE as expected.
Pushing Ctrl-Alt-F2 causes my displays to go blank, where before one would display a virtual console.

Add

to your kernel parameters

Please post the journal for a boot with the issue.  See the tip box from pastebin if the output will not fit in code tags.

Re: No TTYs after latest update.

Here's the journal: https://gist.github.com/LilithThePowerf … 9caaadfaad
Interestingly, it seems to only be an output issue, as I am able to use the virtual consoles, albeit blind(which, while ill-advised, is probably better than having to force-reboot my system because kscreenlocker broke again).
