[solved] Anoyng problem with tty1

Hi, my problem is that I can't login @ tty1 in console. After boot there stays bootup messages. Lightdm and X session runs in tty7 after a tiny modification of it's config file. I've got a "gettty@tty1.service" but it doen't start. And when I try run it manually after X session started up it does show login prompt on tty1, yes. But imidietly shuts down X session (kills lightdm.service) when I then "sudo systemctl start lightdm.service" it kills everything on tty1 and clears it (shows only blanking cursor - no imput so ever possible). "ps -ef | grep tty1" outputs only grep (before restart of lightdm there was working console with logined user).

lightdm.conf:

(...)
[LightDM]
(...)
minimum-vt=7
(...)

Output of some commands:

I know, that not every of this information is needed to help me with solving my problem, but I give you prety much everything about my computer and enviroment. More then it's usually needed to know.
I'm using Linux OSes since 1998 (then RedHat Linux) and I'm expirenced and advanced Linux user, and I just want to have normal envirment, text virtual consoles from tty1 to tty6, X session starting from tty7 and if possible system messages at tty0 as it was always in default since Red Hat.

Re: [solved] Anoyng problem with tty1

Bold doesn't work in code blocks.  If you really want to use things like bold, italics, underlines, etc (and the content of your code block isn't too substantial) just use a quote block instead.

@WonderWoofy: Thanks for the sugest.
Problem solved. And let it stay here if anyone in the future would face similar.

Threads don't typically get removed unless there is a reason to do so.  So fear not, your thread will be here to help others for quite some time.

Re: [solved] Anoyng problem with tty1

Threads don't typically get removed unless there is a reason to do so.

I don't like this thread. It has no cat pictures, it's disgusting. Pls remove it.
;-)

cbvipmabcoya, instead of 'pacman -Ss systemd | grep zainstalowano' and the like, use

pacman -Qs systemd

You can use 'expac' to tailor the output to your liking:

$ expac "%n - %v" -Qs systemd
libsystemd - 213-3
systemd - 213-3
systemd-sysvcompat - 213-3

If you're using testing repositories, the output of 'pacman -Ss systemd | grep installed' could get cluttered:

$ pacman -Ss systemd | grep installed
testing/libsystemd 213-3 [installed]
testing/systemd 213-3 [installed]
testing/systemd-sysvcompat 213-3 (base) [installed]
core/libsystemd 212-3 [installed: 213-3]
core/systemd 212-3 [installed: 213-3]
core/systemd-sysvcompat 212-3 (base) [installed: 213-3]

Adding a 'grep' may be necessary, as pacman searches not only names, but also package descriptions:

$ pacman -Qqs perl | grep -v perl
pcre

$ pacman -Qqs perl | grep -v perl
pcre
[test]$ pacman -Qi pcre
