This sounds like a bug. I think gdm misses a configuration option to enforce that it always takes posession of a certain tty device. Without that we might sometimes have a race here where the systemd status printing stuff might open /dev/tty1 for a short moment to print a message (i.e. the green [ OK ] messages), and X11 at the very same time is started and ends up thinking that /dev/tty1 is already taken. > In the general case, I'd strongly prefer a setup that was consistent and > deterministic as far as accessing X. > > If I walk up to a box where someone has switched to a text console, I > don't want to play the "search for the X" game.
