I just updated - something I am becoming very reluctant to to - and right before I did the update I realized my virtual terminals have disappeared.
I don't know when they vanished because I only try to use them when I need them. And, until a little while ago, I have not needed them for awhile. I suspect they have been missing since the last time I updated, which was about 2 months ago.
so, ctrl-alt-F2, etc gets me nothing.
I went looking, and discovered the /etc/ttys file no longer exists. I also looked in /etc/X11 for evidence that they are defined there. I grepped for "tty" and "vt" in /etc and did not find anything useful.
I can hunt for hours, or I can ask.
Does anyone know where my virtual terminals might have gone? Probably some config issue in that noisome systemd...
