[SOLVED] Make Screen Clear After Bootup

kaptk2 · 2012-12-11 23:16:50

I want the screen to be blank when I first boot up. No prompt for logging in or anything. I tried issuing a /usr/bin/clear > /dev/tty0 when the system first boots up but that does not seem to be working as messages still get shown on the screen. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

kernel parameter quiet?

I have added that an while that helps it is not the full solution. The text login prompt still shows (hostname login:). Once I get rid of that I should be set.

Hi

I found this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Silent_boot some days ago, and maybe see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Au … al_console to find more info. Maybe you can write a custom getty@tty1.service file. Not sure if you want to be logged in / start X / or nothing at all ?

Thanks for those links, I ended up just disabling the getty@tty1 and that got me close enough to what I wanted.

Sure, that does the job, wasn't sure if it's possible.
Just wondering, how do you log in / do something ?

Please mark as solved by editing your first post, if it's resolved for you

He can't. His system is foolproof.

(real answer: ctrl+alt+F* to use a different terminal)

I use SSH to login... but Xyne is correct if I had to I could go to another terminal and it will work, the only thing un-linked is tty1

I am marking this as solved, although it is kinda ugly, it works.
