• Using tty1 instead of tty0

    From Samuel Thibault@21:1/5 to All on Fri Nov 12 20:40:02 2021
    Hello,

    While trying to fix #998424 (making steps interruptible in the text
    frontend), I realize than the debian installer main menu is running
    on /dev/tty0, which makes it insensible to ^C etc. That's not really
    a problem for the newt frontend, but it prevents from using it for interruptible steps in the text frontend, and what's worse, it prevents
    from using it when running a shell from the main menu, making the shell
    there really inconvenient.

    I have thus pushed a fix in rootskel to make it open /dev/tty1 instead
    of /dev/tty0, which I think won't have consequences beyond proper signal handling, since they're essentially the same except for tty handling.

    Just wanted to raise the flag in case somebody sees anything that could
    go wrong with it (tty/signal handling by itself shouldn't be a concern
    since that's what we already have when running on a serial console etc.)

    Samuel
