Hey everyone, I'm trying to move my desktop session from TTY1 to TTY2 so that TTY1 shows a plain CLI login prompt instead.

Things I've already tried:

- Setting `MinimumVT=2` / `VTNr=2` in `/etc/sddm.conf.d/` → doesn't apply
- Systemd drop-in override with `ExecStart=/usr/bin/plasmalogin --tty 2` → argument is silently ignored
- Adding `VTNr=2` in `/etc/plasmalogin.conf` → no effect

The journal clearly shows `Using VT 1` and `Jumping to VT 1` on every boot. `strings` on the binary shows `VTNr` as a possible config key but I had no luck yet.

Has anyone managed to configure plasmalogin to use a different VT? Or is there a way to find out which config keys it actually supports?

Thanks!
