Bug ID: 428882
Summary: Cannot switch to any virtual terminal other than tty1
Product: neon
Version: unspecified
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: neon-b...@kde.org
Reporter: jnoricha...@blueyonder.co.uk
CC: j...@jriddell.org, neon-b...@kde.org, sit...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Key combinations [LCtrl]-[Alt]-FN {N = (2..9)} do not switch to login prompt on
ttyN
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start KDE Neon.
2. Before or after GUI login with sddm greeter, press [LCtrl]-[Alt]-FN
(N=2..9).
3. Screen goes black, after ~10s the monitor reports "no signal".
4. press [LCtrl]-[Alt]-F1 - greeter or GUI is re-displayed.
OBSERVED RESULT
Exactly the same behaviour is shown if I issue this command in konsole:
jonathan@Odin:~$ sudo chvt 2
There is no error output from chvt in konsole.
EXPECTED RESULT
A login prompt for ttyN should be displayed: this *is* what happens when I boot
into the live image from which I installed neon 5.20 User Edition a few days
ago, so I conclude that it is not a keyboard issue.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.20 User Edition
KDE Plasma Version: 5.0.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.75.0
Qt Version: 5.15.0
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
-There is nothing relevant in var/log/syslog, unless perhaps this is:

if dbus and logind are not available being skipped.
-All the tty console device files are present:
jonathan@Odin:~$ ls -l /dev/tty[1-9]
