From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use nixos + greetd + tuigreet + hyprland. I missed to mention that I wanted to disable or hide the logs that gets shows when starting hyprland from tty terminal by writing Hyprland or when using greetd tuigreet. After entering my username and password, These logs show before hyprland starts, I want to avoid that

Disable? These can't be disabled.

You mean you don't want to see them? There is a package called Plymouth, which hints the logs and shows a Logo instead.

Yeah , no For system logs I have it on quiet but these are for when Hyprland starts. I forgot to mention that.

Or push it to a file, just in general. That way if something goes tits up you can still check it later.

So does it mean passing --cmd Hyprland > /dev/null to Tuigreet? If so then that wouldn't work with my setup, as I use sessions instead of cmd. Here is how I have it in nixos

    services.greetd = {
      enable = true;
      settings = {
        default_session = {
          user = "greeter";
          command = ''
            ${getExe' pkgs.unstable.greetd.tuigreet "tuigreet"} \
            --time \
            --sessions ${cfg.sessionDirs} \
            --remember \
            --remember-session
          '';
        };
      };
    };

The sessionDirs is this

modules.services.greetd.sessionDirs = ["${hyprlandPackage}/share/wayland-sessions"];

This is a link to my dotfiles where I have it:

You have NixOS, it’s easy to give it a custom session path for that.

Also I would use systemd-cat so the output goes into the journal instead of nowhere.

Would you be able to provide an example code? It would help me grasp the concept more effectively.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Why tho? The logs give you information & progress. After boot you don’t even see it.

I honestly wish Android booted like this.

they go away so fast i can't even read them, so, they serve no purpose to me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago
