Description Kamil Páral 2012-10-03 14:58:14 UTC
Description of problem:
I installed F18 Beta TC1 (any architecture) from PXE. The installed system boots and works, but only tty1 (with gdm) is functional. If I switch to any other tty, only blinking underscore is there. No login prompt, hitting keys does nothing. I tried to reboot several times, no help. I have seen this on two different machines.

When I install from Live, other ttys work.

I have some weird feeling that systemd is now in charge of spawning ttys, so reporting against it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemd-193-1.fc18.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install F18 Beta TC1 over PXE
2. ctrl+alt+f2

This could potentially be a blocker, or NTH.

Comment 3 Jóhann B. Guðmundsson 2012-10-03 15:16:11 UTC
Do you have an login prompt if you boot into the multiuser-target?

Under what blocker criteria do you think this falls under?

Comment 4 Kamil Páral 2012-10-03 15:44:06 UTC
enforcing=0 on the boot line fixes this. Reassigning.

Comment 5 Kamil Páral 2012-10-03 15:46:09 UTC
Btw, it can be also reproduced with netinst installations.

Booting into runlevel 3 produces working tty1, but no other tty again.

Comment 6 Kamil Páral 2012-10-03 15:52:37 UTC
selinux-policy-3.11.1-25.fc18

Comment 7 Bill Nottingham 2012-10-03 15:55:54 UTC
From what I understand, this is due more to internal selinux code inside systemd than due to the policy itself. Dan?

Comment 8 Kamil Páral 2012-10-04 10:20:42 UTC
The problem happens with systemd-193-13fc18. The problem is solved with systemd-194-1.fc18. (no selinux-policy change needed).

Because systemd-194-1.fc18 is now in stable updates, closing.
