Can't login from tty1 after latest upgrade

Whenever I boot up, tty1 shows a message from amixer and I can't do anything, the keyboard is locked.

INIT: Entering runlevel: 3
:: Starting D-BUS system messagebus    [BUSY]    [DONE] 
:: Starting crond daemon    [BUSY]    [DONE] 
Simple mixer control 'Master',0
Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined
Playback channels: Mono
Limits: Playback 0 - 87
Mono: Playback 60 [69%] [-20.25dB] [on] 

However, when I change to other tty it displays the terminal for login.
I had this problem a time ago after another update, but now I can't figure out how to solve it.

Switch to systemd?

Yes, and I've just discovered this is a known bug with systemd.

One of those statements is wrong... If your TTY is really locked, it isn't the same bug.

Izzyhard, you completely missed WonderWoofy's point. Based on the part of the log that you posted, you're not running systemd yet. He's suggesting that you switch ASAP.

Sorry, you're right. My issue is: after my system loads a bunch of things, the login prompt isn't displayed. And I can't write anything, the cursor is there but it doesn't respond.
And it still occurs after switching to systemd.

I "solved" it by using the auto login method from Arch Wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Au … al_console.

But, yes, it's not a definitive solution.
