Right so, I thought that because of the new login style I already had a
"console".
What do you mean by "new login style"?

I was accustomed (and even loved) where you had to type "login". That was so "hurd" for me after many years.


if I run

console -d vga -d pc_mouse --repeat=mouse -d pc_kbd --repeat=kbd -d 
generic_speaker -c /dev/vcs
Did you check that it wasn't already running?  The page above advises to
run echo $TERM

I referred to this page more precisely about this:

«  You need to run dpkg-reconfigure x11-common to allow any user to
start Xorg, because the X wrapper does not know about the Hurd and Mach
consoles. »

which really looks promising considering the error message you were
getting.

I reconfigured, and now after a reboot it works. So everything fine, thus the console was already running, as I supposed.
Sometimes reconfiguring again and rebooting does miracles :)

I attach nevertheless a screenshot of the login as I see it. Above it says "tty1" and below "console".

Is this intentional or a bug?
