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.
Hyprland > /dev/null
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 nixosservices.greetd = { enable = true; settings = { default_session = { user = "greeter"; command = '' ${getExe' pkgs.unstable.greetd.tuigreet "tuigreet"} \ --time \ --sessions ${cfg.sessionDirs} \ --remember \ --remember-session ''; }; }; };
The
sessionDirs
is thismodules.services.greetd.sessionDirs = ["${hyprlandPackage}/share/wayland-sessions"];

mine is in here somewhere ctrl f for 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.
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, other than being a brief gross flash where my startup animation goes away
I know… For a long and I mean long time I had it, but yk I wan’t to hide it just to spice things up.
