login focus on wrong box

sorry about that word "box", but I don't really know how it's called.

after booting kubuntu, the login focus isn't on tty7 (where kde starts) but on tty1.
only thing I changed in between boots was fstab.

help very much appreciated, paddy

I think the term you are looking for is "virtual console".

In any event, I am not sure exactly what you mean. What is "login focus"? Do you mean that your X login manager is not starting, and you are presented with just a prompt?

no and yes. it does start, you see. but I do just get a prompt. graphical manager starts on tty7 so when I press ctrl+alt+f7, I get where I should be first place, ctrl+alt+f1 gets me back where I came from. that's what I meant saying login focus. of course, I made it up - sorry to confuse you :-)

I see. That is very odd, and I am not sure where to even begin looking for the cause of that. I can tell you changing fstab wouldn't have anything to do with it.

You can poke around looking for a bug report:

Does /var/log/Xorg.0.log have anything to say?
