https://bbs.archlinux.org – I just finished spending an hour or two in a recovery mode image generated by grub-customizer.  Here's what I've found.  For some reason everytime I log in Getty restarts because its holdoff time runs out.  I've tried playing around with the .service file for getty, and that didn't help. /var/log/everything.logDec 13 20:57:50 Beleriand systemd[1]: getty@tty1.service holdoff time over, scheduling restart.

How to avoid this?

I use Arch Linux, systemd 194.

What should i do next?

ln -sf /usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@tty2.serviceRepeat this for remaining vts - change @tty2 to @tty3 an so on.

My desktop system is:

$ uname -a Linux xmachine 3.0.0-13-generic #22-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 2 13:25:36 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

By running ps a | grep getty, I get this output:

900 tty4 Ss+ 0:00 /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty4 906 tty5 Ss+ 0:00 /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty5 915 tty2 Ss+ 0:00 /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty2 917 tty3 Ss+ 0:00 /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty3

I found that, in /etc/inittab, this modification (-a username) for the user u disables the login/password check for all tty:s:

1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -a u 38400 tty1 2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -a u 38400 tty2 3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -a u 38400 tty3 4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -a u 38400 tty4 5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -a u 38400 tty5 6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -a u 38400 tty6

That would be great fo

Hi,I just switched to systemd and there is one thing left bothering me - after the login prompt appears, systemd keeps spamming messages about some services starting (mysql, ntp...).

I have a bunch of these too, all empty.
