I can't switch tty from tty2 to tty6 in Arch Linux. When I switch outside the GUI, the screen doesn't change (the text from tty1 remains, only the cursor disappears completely). And in the GUI (sddm, xfce4), the graphical cursor simply disappears. What I did:
- Restarted the computer. There is no result.
- Launched getty@tty2-tty6 services (it used to help in the VM). There is no result again.
- Removed quiet, splash and other GRUB arguments for plymouth. The result is that it is possible to enter tty1 and GUI, but it is not possible to enter tty2-6.
I found out that tty2-6 are working for me, but they are invisible. Blindly I was able to create a file in tty2.
Laptop: Lenovo IdeaPad Y570 (yes, not new).
Video card: I don't know exactly which one works, there is Intel Integrated Graphics with i915 and NVIDIA Geforce GT 555M with nouveau.
System: Arch Linux 2022.10.01, fully updated.
