Systemd WPA Overlapping Login

First of all, this doesn't always happen, only sometimes.

So, sometimes when booting I get this. After a few seconds, I get this.

How can I fix this? I can still log in, but it's quite annoying. I don't know what other information I can give you. I am running Linux 3.6.10-1 and my system is up to date.

It is a well-known bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54247 .
Nobody upstream seems to care though. You can circumvent it adding "quiet" to the kernel boot line, but it is still a bug since "Type=Idle" in the getty service would be supposed to avoid it but doesn't.

OK, second thing first...

Do you have ethernet cable attached or do you use wireless connection to internet ?

If no ethernet cable...eth0.service error. If you rarely use ethernet, you can disable that service, resulting in no error message & quick boot up time.

Your first pic just shows the boot notifications overlapping the log-in-thingy

Yes, it looks messy, but really is not a problem.

Plug in cable, then :

re-enable it & (probably) reboot

not sure if reboot required.

systemctl enable dhcpcd@eth0
systemctl start dhcpcd@eth0

systemctl stop dhcpcd@eth0
systemctl disable dhcpcd@eth0

etc...

If you enable & reboot, you then do not need to start it manually, as this will occur at boot, at the point you are currently getting the "fail"

In this case i suggest you to use a connection manager like netcfg, Wicd, NetworkManager, that connects to whatever network you have available.
