[opensuse-factory] Leap 42.2 - getty service
Hi, I just noticed there is a getty process being restarted permanently: T520 systemd[1]: getty@getty.service: Service has no hold-off time, scheduling restart. T520 systemd[1]: Stopped Getty on getty. T520 systemd[1]: Started Getty on getty. T520 agetty[21783]: /dev/getty: cannot open as standard input: No such file or directory I just was aware of getty to pick up incoming faxes - and for sure no fax server is installed on the laptop. Can anyone explain what the getty process is good for, and whether it can be disabled? Thanks Axel PS: yes, there is an @opensuse.org mail address for me....maybe next time... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

That's a nonsense service. getty services are named getty@${SERIAL_DEVICE_NAME}.service, and "getty" is not a serial device. I suspect a problem in a script somewhere that created this pseudo service. Please check the contents of /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants

systemctl disable getty@getty.service Or delete the unwanted link in /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants manually. Regards Martin
Thanks Axel
