That's odd, and I don't think I could suggest anything to help. As for a workaround, my own approach would be to type Alt → (or Windows ←, or whatever) six times rapidly before logging in. It takes two seconds and while you're logging in, the other VCs would be starting up. As for your workaround, is there any reason for avoiding absolute paths when making links, ie wouldn't this do the same thing? #!/bin/sh cd /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants cp -a /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service /lib/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service sed -i 's/TTYVTDisallocate=yes/TTYVTDisallocate=no/' /lib/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service ./getty@tty1.service systemctl start getty@tty1.service ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service ./getty@tty2.service systemctl start getty@tty2.service ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service ./getty@tty3.service systemctl start getty@tty3.service ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service ./getty@tty4.service systemctl start getty@tty4.service ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service ./getty@tty5.service systemctl start getty@tty5.service ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service ./getty@tty6.service systemctl start getty@tty6.service Cheers, David.
