Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
GDM blended screen and input with VT

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-3.10.0-23.el7.x86_64
systemd-207-2.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
always, sometimes need to restart GDM twice
in virt-manager

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Switch to VT
2. run: systemctl restart gdm.service
3. after gdm restarts switch back to VT
4. use keyboard and mouse

Actual results:
You can't switch from GDM to VT or if you switch you'll get VT with GDM overlay on screen, both responding to keyboard input.

Expected results:
You can switch from X to VT.

Additional info:
tested with QXL/Spice and VNC/Cirrus

Why is this a systemd bug? Wouldn't it be more a X or kernel bug?

Because of possible relation to former ConsoleKit functionality. I can reproduce it with various driver/protocol combinations.

This really sounds to me as an issue in VT switching in kernel. Reassigning to get their opinion.

Still reproducible with RHEL7 Beta. Adding screenshot to get more attention.

Martin is no longer with RedHat I would propose close this bug and reopen if needed.
