Is anything actually switching to vt7? I'm not sure what weston-launch
does there, usually it takes the current VT and you don't seem to be
telling openvt to switch.

Do you mean that the device stops responding in the network when you
say you can't open an ssh session? Like a kernel hang or panic?

Are you unable to switch vts after exiting weston?

weston-launch is the proper way, as a normal user. If you use
weston-launch with --tty, I think you usually also want --user other
than root. IIRC these two options usually go together.


Thanks,
