This bug had me pulling my hair (what's left of it) out. See https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=7875498#7875498 This one is serious when this is updated along with a lot of other stuff, and then a reboot is done sometime later.

Agreed. > x1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 console linux > c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux > > When commenting out the second line, the issue disappears: > x1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 console linux > #c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux I disagree with your solution. my guess is that the first one needs to be commented out. Otherwise, if you CTRL-ALT-2 to the second console then x1 and c2 will both be on the second console. Given all the time I've already wasted on this today I'll just stick with the downgrade for now. And who do I beat with a fish? Created attachment 424518 [details]
