Why are there systemd boot messages on tty1?

Hi guys,

I guess this is a follow up on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=186078

Occassionally (not every time) I get a dump of systemd boots on tty1 IIUC

Can someone explain why I'm seeing this, despite my efforts to make it quiet.

Is it because /dev/console is over lapping with tty1? https://github.com/kaihendry/systemd/bl … clear.conf

Some other bug? Thanks!

You get it if systemd encounters an error on start-up. I expect that "Failed" message is your reason.
Similarly, you (sometimes?) get it on shutdown if systemd encounters an error then.

Post the output of 'cat /proc/cmdline'. I have 'quiet systemd.show_status=0' and it works.

Not answering your question but there seems to be an error in your password and/or group files.
You can check them with the commands "pwck" and "grpck".

Thank you, systemd.show_status=0 does seem to work. However where do the boot messages get logged?!

What do you need them for? You can query systemctl about running units, failed units etc.
