After upgrading my Cubietruck with the latest armbian image (Vanilla Debian Jessie) I noticed that command line access is restricted to two parallel consoles (via ALT+F1, ALT+F2, -) only. Is there a way to overcome this limitation?

 

Any remedial hint would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance.

 

By the way, SSH terminal access seems to be possible almost inititely in number.

On some systems the number and type of virtual console is defined in /etc/inittab

In Armbian (legacy) there is only one line, so I'm not sure if it is the right place. But you could al least try to add more.

Thanx for the links, EtlARM. That did it.

There are actually six lines in my inittab file. However, only two of them were activated by Igor's default. So it was just a simple process of removing the hashes in front of as many lines as I wanted extra ttys to become available.

Still learning to "master" as much of Linux as I need.
