Updated lightdm has no problem providing tty info. Looks like a freedesktop.org and systemd "strikes again!" issue that will have to be dealt with.As does sddm. I also tested an old version of gdm on the system that does not use PAM or loginctl and the login information is passed to the operating system.
Great info Darrell,This is just one of those wonderful hiccups that is hard from the standpoint of:
1. when is this info missed? 2. what app or lib is the sender? 3. what app or lib is the receiver? 4. is the info being sent/received but the format has now changed? and 5. is the problem with the sender or receiver or both?This is an area of Linux I have not drilled down into. I know it's kdm/tdm not passing the info to somebody that is the issue, but whether the issue is with kdm/tdm itself or one of the dependent libraries and who this is communicated to is a mystery to me.
God knows a simple change somewhere to support Wayland could have broken passing the tty info to X. Where and what takes someone familiar with how/where this happens.
