Description Markus Elfring 2008-12-26 21:39:17 UTC

I can switch to the virtual terminals by the keyboard shortcuts Strg+Alt+F1 to F6 from my KDE3 session. But these text consoles do not provide login prompts as I was used to this feature in openSUSE 11.0.
How should the login be reactivated by the display manager?

the number might be reduced to be just on console 1, but it should be there.

is the boot process finished? what is displayed on console 1?

Yes, since a few minutes. Today my third boot try was successful because of an unpleasant issue with binfmt_misc mount (bug #463582).



> what is displayed on console 1?

I see the usual startup messages. The cursor is blinking behind the text "Starting jexec services".

Comment 3 Markus Elfring 2009-01-22 18:31:34 UTC

Morgan Cox mentioned a similar observation in the issue "System gets stuck on jexec" (bug #461199).
