Hello everyone,

The machine with the problem runs debian bookworm. It's updated and upgraded. 
The problem appeared after the
last upgrade.

The problem is that when I boot up, the machine boots to a text prompt which 
changes in a second to the prompt: /dev/pts/#

When pressing Cntl+Alt+F2, another /dev/pts/# appears, not a /dev/tty#

Before this problem appeared the machine booted to a text prompt where it 
either stays in the tty terminal, or starts X with xinit or startx. I need to 
start in the tty so I can work there, or run X if needed, and run a window 
manager.

The following systemd services were enabled with the following status after a 
reboot:

[email protected] --- active

[email protected] --- Active: inactive (dead)

The only line in the journal logs with getty in it was:

getty on tty2-tty6 if dbus and logind are not available was skipped because of 
an unmet condition check (ConditionPathExists=!/usr/bin/dbus-daemon).

This same line appears in other machines which do boot to a tty and have no 
trouble.

Basic machine info:
[ben@fen ~]$ inxi
CPU: quad core Intel Core i3-9100 (-MCP-) speed/min/max: 3600/800/4200 MHz
Kernel: 6.0.0-6-amd64 x86_64 Up: 1h 5m Mem: 907.1/7899.3 MiB (11.5%)
Storage: 931.51 GiB (3.6% used) Procs: 206 Shell: Bash inxi: 3.3.24

My question is: how to get the machine to boot to /dev/tty again and also have 
all the other ttys at F2-F6 available as ttys?

Thanks.
ben

PS I have looked about the net and some lists but cannot find helpful info.
