[opensuse-factory] Erasing the 1st VT at boot or not (systemd question)
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I boot 12.2 in text mode, with this line: title Desktop -- openSUSE 12.2 - verbose II root (hd0,2) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/disk/by-label/Main resume=/dev/disk/by-label/Swap showopts splash=verbose console=tty1 loglevel=3 vga=0x333 3 initrd /boot/initrd This produces a detailed log during boot showing the services as they start or fail, which I find nice and productive. The problem is that when the virtual terminals are created, the previous text is erased. How can I avoid that? With system V this was controlled in inittab: 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --noclear tty1 2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2 3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3 4:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty4 5:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty5 6:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty6 See the first terminal? It is different. Where is the equivalent for systemd? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Known bug (bnc#721660) but I don't think I'll be able to fix it for 12.2
(since I would need some changes which have been pushed upstream already
but are too invasive).

You might want to create own getty-noclear@.service as a workaround. Then cp /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service \ /etc/systemd/system/getty-noclear@.service Add the --noclear into ExecStart and change the unit name in [Install] section systemctl disable getty@tty1.service systemctl mask getty@tty1.service systemctl enable getty-noclear@tty1.service Regards Michal Vyskocil

systemctl disable/mask/enable/unmask only creates/removes symlinks in /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/, so both ways are compatible. I use systemctl, as it do some checking before. Regards Michal Vyskocil

It is unclear to me what has to be changed in the [Install] section. Please elaborate.
systemctl disable getty@tty1.service systemctl mask getty@tty1.service systemctl enable getty-noclear@tty1.service
