[arch-general] [SOLVED] Polluted login prompt
With reference to an issue I raised on this ML earlier: https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2012-November/032201.ht... I was able to solve my issue by setting the service type (or unit type) of the systemd units that generate output after the login prompt to "idle". https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54247#c10 P.S. Apologies for the off-thread posting, I couldn't find the previous mail in my mail box. -- Sudaraka Wijesinghe. http://sudaraka.org/

I think that's what the wiki suggests: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Automatic_login_to_virtual_console

No. The wiki suggests to set Type=idle for the getty service, and this should avoid the pollution of the prompt, but fails to do so. By contrast, Sudara has been forced to set Type=idle for any other services that was polluting the getty prompt. Nonetheless it is a useful workaround until someone upstream happens to care about the bug.
