Hello, im having a little problem with booting up. This happened when I tried to replace console kit using systemd-logind. I replaced getty@.service with autologin@.service as provided by the wiki however i learned that it will still be implemented on the next version of polkit so I disabled the service for autologin. Thereafter, I deleted the service in /etc/systemd/system/autologin@.service. After that I surfed the net and fell asleep. LOL. I don't know if i re-enabled getty@.service but my boot splash tells me that I failed to re-enable it. The last service in the splash is multi-user.target. Everything works fine except that after all the services are started my username and password is not being asked.. I can't go to the command line because of this to fix the problem I tried pressing ctrt+alt+1/2/3/4/5/6 etc but i can't enter the command line. I also tried fallback mode but I have the same problem.
Questions.. 1)how can i enter the command line to save my problem. 2) in other distros, in fallback mode i automatically enter the CLI why is it not the case in arch? Thanks.

You probably masked getty@.service.
Do you have a pure systemd setup? If not, you can just delete the init=/bin/systemd line in your bootloader.

I guess you just need to boot into the live media and either chroot, or create the symlink manually. Remember, you are not enabling getty@.service, but rather getty@tty1.service (the .service is optional).
Does adding init=/bin/bash still work? Maybe you could just do that and create the symlink.

i tried to symlink after i chroot but i get an error which says that the device is read only and "no job control in this shell".

The device is read only, because systemd is remounting the filesystem as read-write during boot. Now you have to do it on your own, good luck.
