Package: bash Version: 4.3-11+b1 Severity: important
A system has X started on tty1 with startx and a switch to tty[2-6] is made. A login takes place and then the terminal is exited. The user is returned to X rather than remaining on tty[2-6] with a login prompt. The user cannot easily get back to tty[2-6]. Attempts to do so lead to a system freeze when systemd is PID1. Under sysvinit freezing has not been observed to occur. Starting the server on tty[2-6] does not generally appear to lead to the behaviour described above. The xinit 1.3.3-1 changelog records why X with startx no longer brings the server up on vt7. * 10-startx-Under-Linux-start-X-on-the-current-VT.patch, 11-startx-Pass-vtX-as-long-as-the-user-did-not-specify-.patch: By default start the server on the current VT, this is necessary to avoid logind to see the startx session as inactive (Closes: #743015) August Karlstrom brought the issue to light at https://lists.debian.org/mn01es$4u4$1...@speranza.aioe.org There is a short discussion in the same thread.
