Silent boot instructions are not working properly

[cmdshft]

I am attempting to do a completely silent boot but retain the plymouth splash screen. I have gotten it to be mostly silent, with only this remaining



I have tried doing the following:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/autologin\@.service

I changed ExecStart to the following:

ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --skip-login --noclear --noissue --login-options "-f pi" %I $TERM

Which is supposed to remove the text in the image above. It obviously does not.

Here are the contents of /etc/systemd/system/autologin\@.service, /boot/cmdline.txt and config.txt

Any ideas? I am on the latest release of Raspbian Stretch.

[topguy]

But since the text on the screen mentions "PiHole" I would say its not a completely standard Raspbian. And also that the issue most likely is in PiHole somewhere.

I'm also running the latest Stretch (Stretch Lite, downloaded and burnt to the SD card), and the "ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --skip-login --noclear --noissue --login-options "-f pi" %I $TERM" doesn't hide the autologin message for me either.

Any hint is greatly appreciated.

[molul]

Found the solution.

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/autologin\@.service

I changed ExecStart to the following:

ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --skip-login --noclear --noissue --login-options "-f pi" %I $TERM

Dont type

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/autologin\@.service

Type

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d/autologin.conf

This did the trick for me. Hope it helps
