Heya, a small heads-up on one thing that I just added to git: we no longer start 5 gettys on vt2-vt6 by default. Instead in multi-user mode we start only one getty on tty1 resp. in graphical mode one dm on tty1. Effectively this changes very little though: we now spawn additional gettys as they are needed. i.e. if you change to vt5 with Alt-F5 and there's nothing else running on it we will spawn a getty automatically.
Net effect: we start less by default, but for the user little should change. Except maybe that if you do fast user switching in GNOME your sessions will end up on F1, F2, F3 now. You can also use this to spawn arbitrary other things on a VT. It's just a matter where the [email protected] symlink points to. It points to [email protected] by default, but you can link something else to it too. And you can even do additional instantiated symlinks, too, in case you want to start a getty on Vt4 but something else on Vt5. Currently systemd will do the autospawning of gettys only on the first 6 ttys, and this isn't configurable. Before we release this we will make this configurable in a config file /etc/systemd/logind.conf. Note that this is fully compatible with previous setups: if you have a static symlink it will be honoured, and we will never spawn a getty with this on a tty which is already used by an app. Lennart -- Lennart Poettering - Red Hat, Inc. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
