Run console-getty with plymouth-gdm

Support
1

When I enable console-getty and reboot, plymouth brings up plymouth-gdm (or is it gdm-plymouth), and then a couple of seconds later vt1 turns into a blank screen. I can then ctrl+alt+f2 and then ctrl+alt+f1 and gdm will launch again of vt1 and be fine. Can I correct this behavior so getty and gdm launches correctly?

I honestly don’t want getty do do anything unless I switch to vt2, and I thought the default config would do that.

replace it with gdm … remove plymouth from /etc/mkinitcpio.conf hook line, then run
sudo mkinitcpio -P
sudo update-grub
…

Sorry, I’m not using grub, I didn’t think to include this info. I still want plymouth, I just don’t want this weird behavior where gdm has started and then getty turns around and blanks vt1. I’m using systemd boot. I could easily gank sd-plymouth but then it wouldn’t start or early enough? presumably, would cease to run at all.
