Got sidetracked and accidentally customized my tty login
unrelated but that image took 5 years to load
Looks great! Do you often use TTY login over a graphical display manager?
I used to have sddm but this time I forgot to install it after a clean reinstall of Arch (btw) so I use tty for a few day and I quite like it, I think I’m going to use tty login from now on
I always log in to my TTY. Have you tried setting your colour scheme before login? I have a mega janky setup where I add an OpenRC sysinit service that calls
setvtrgb. The first lines of the startup log aren’t affected but most of them are. That way I can log in with a colour scheme consistent with that which comes after the login.Ever thought of unraveling that escape sequence and injecting it into the agetty start string?
love this kind of consistency
Oh shit, I’d love to see the code to do this. I often switch to another tty to focus easier (no graphics, no temptation) and would love to have this great me.
Please post a link, or past the code if you can.
You can do colours as well!
Oh nice, I’m only just getting started and still don’t know what possible, funny how we use the same font XD

You can do this by editing the “issue” file located in /etc/issue, you can put anything in there and it will display in tty login as long as it is text based, if you want it to show date and time or other information here is some possible switches, I recommended Kate if you want ascii because nano can’t display ascii
