Nothing happens. Tried both Ctrl-Alt keys on either side of space bar. $ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 3.14.8-200.fc20.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jun 16

what do you get with this command: $ ps -ef|grep getty
How do I change the number of gettys running by default?
To add another getty:
Simply place another symlink for instantiating another getty in the
getty.target.wants/ directory:
ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service
/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@tty9.service
systemctl daemon-reload systemctl start getty@tty9.service
$ ps -ef|grep getty jd 2099 1691 0 21:41 pts/1 00:00:00 grep getty
then I linked all 9 tty's reloaded the daemon, and started the getty on all 9 ttys: # ps -ef | grep getty root 2194 1 0 21:45 tty2 00:00:00 /sbin/agetty --noclear
tty2 ...
I'm following along this far, but got lost when you started the gettys. Systemd would typically handle switching and starting gettys on switch. Are you starting them by attempting to switch in turn, and the process starts but the display doesn't change? If you're starting them another way, how and why? If you're doing it manually, it could be interfering with what systemd is trying to do. It would be interesting to see what the journal says when you attempt to switch.
