Are there some kernel options I > can try, or other ways to get more data? Is the number of consoles in /etc/systemd/logind.conf set to more than 2? The default is 6, and so systemd should set up 6 virtual consoles for use. They usually don't actuate until visited, but they should still be available to a Ctrl-Alt-[3-6]. I boot to multiuser and start X from there, and I always get virtual consoles. If you do a journalctl -r and then a /vcon do you see lines like fedora dracut[128053]: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 20528 Mar 13 13:01 usr/lib/systemd/systemd-vconsole-setup fedora dracut[128053]: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 650 Mar 13 12:59 usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-vconsole-setup.service If the setup isn't occurring it would be a systemd bug. But check if systemd is reporting errors when it tries to set the vconsoles up. And try booting into multiuser by hitting a key during boot, and putting a 3 at the end of the boot line options to see if that sets them up. Fedora recently dropped support from the kernel for the old fbcon and replaced it with the new simple version. Might be related if it wasn't taken into account. Or KDE might have decided virtual consoles were obsolete and dropped support for them (unlikely). Anyway some things to try, and a confirmation that it does work. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
