Bug#1129276: systemd: Getty not started after upgrade to 260~rc1

[Vincent Crevot]

Package: systemd
Version: 260~rc1-2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream


With the graphical target active, getty used to be started on demand on
virtual consoles 1 to 6. This was quite useful for debugging problems
with the graphical session : with gdm started on tty1 and a GNOME
session on tty2 I could then switch to tty3 and login from there.

This is no longer case and it seems to be related to this entry in the
systemd 260~rc1 changelog: 

* getty at .service gained an [Install] and must now be explicitly enabled
  to be active.

So one now has to run "systemctl enable getty at tty3.service && systemctl
daemon-reload" to get the same functionality.

I feel this could at least warrant an entry in the NEWS file of the
package.

Thanks
