Start at tty1 bash login instead of tty7 graphical login after boot

I'm pretty new to archlinux.
I was searching over the arch wiki, but I haven't found any documentation which provides me clear instructions about how to set tty1 as the default tty after system boot. Normally the system starts at graphical login on tty7, but I want to use the tty1 bash login by default.
How I can configure that?

You could use a chvt service and order it after graphical.target. Something like that:
[Unit]
Description=Boot to tty1 in graphical mode
After=graphical.target
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/chvt 1
[Install]
WantedBy=graphical.target

  • How do I get my ipod to play a playlist from reverse order? (Start with recently added song instead of first added)

    How do I get my ipod to play a playlist from reverse order? (Start with recently added song instead of first added)
    So I'm adding new songs to a very old playlist? Is there anyway that when I add them, they automatically go to top of playlist? How about getting one song to the top of a playlist.  That drag to arrange function is very annoying because it is slow and the playlist does not scroll up very well on a PC.

    Make a new playlist by pressing the little plus button at the very lower left corner of iTunes. An new playlist will appear in the Source pane called "untitled playlist". While the name is highlighted, you can change it to whatever you want. Drag all of the tracks from all the albums that comprise a single book to that playlist. Sync that playlist to your iPod.

  • GDM not starting and TTY1 not able to log in after GNOME 3.6 update?

    Hey everyone,
    I've been using arch for a couple of months now and all's been fine. I updated last week to gnome3.6 however and a lot of my system broke. I couldn't start any window managers or desktop environments at all. After reading about the initscripts deprecation I migrated completely to systemd and uninstalled initscripts, as per the wiki. This let me boot up, change to tty2 and start gnome with startx.
    Now my only problem is that GDM will not start on boot. The normal arch booting screen doesn't appear anymore and instead has been replaced by the following error:
    /dev/sda5: clean, 227778/2689904 files, 6575481/10749432 blocks
    (The numbers vary and sda5 is my root partition)
    I've tried different things like reinstalling the legacy ATI driver I'm using and running aticonfig again, messing with my .xinitrc file and making it executable for everyone.
    I'm lost, any help?
    Thanks.

    That is normal in Lion and Mountain Lion. Those systems try to reopen any apps that were open when you shut down. To stop that from happening, simply uncheck the box in the shut down dialog:

  • How can I start firefox with new tab instead of blank page?

    Today I update firefox to 13.0. I like the new "new type". I want to konw how can I start firefox with new tab instead of blank page?
    I don't want to change the homepage to about:newtab.
    Sorry for my bad English.

    This is a very annoying thing. Every update from Firefox resets this config setting back to about:newtab. I changed '''''browser.newtab.url''''' in 12.x to '''''about:blank''''' and it resetted back in update 13.0 and now I have to do the same thing again in 13.0.1.
    The drawback with about:newtab is Firefox opens up dataports for every URL that are linked and gets reopened for every lame 'newtab' you click on. Just use [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx Tcpview - data port viewer] and watch how many extra dataports that opens up from this crazy 'feature'.

  • [SOLVED] Terminator stopped working Unable to start shell:/bin/bash

    Hello,
    I just wanted to share as I didn't found anything about it,
    Since yesterday I can't launch my favorite terminal emulator which is terminator, it gives me :
    Unable to start shell:/bin/bash
    displayed in terminator window where I'm supposed to type commands.
    What is strange is that I can launch /bin/bash in tty's plus I installed xterm temporarily which works fine with bash.
    One more thing is that if I close terminator window it closes my graphical session !
    Any idea to troubleshoot this ?

  • Why does my text in Indesign start on the right side instead of the left?

    I have done something to the newsletter that I am working on, but I don't know what I did.
    Whenever I try to write a caption on a picture or try to type a piece of text for the newsletter, the cursor starts on the right side instead of the left and makes weird spacing and never lines up correctly.
    The only way I can get text to work now is to use a snipping tool and snip text from another program!

    With just the text tool selected, but no text boxes selected (or made), any change to the style of paragraphs or fonts etc is 'set' for the document. If you have clicked on the right alignment tool with nothing selected, then everything from then onwards will default to right align.
    If every document you've worked on is doing this, then open InDesign with no document open (so just the panels showing, but no file/doc open) and select left align with the text tool in use. Any setting made with InDesign like this, is default for any new document created. Colours, alignment, optical kerning, fonts, sizes, leading etc etc changed in this state, is the new default.

  • Can OS X start (and stop) bash by itself?

    A little earlier I noticed some data coming in to my Mac over the internet, perhaps a couple of megabytes, which is not unusual in itself, but I checked in Activity Monitor at that moment, and saw that bash was running and then quit moments after the data ceased coming in. I have not seen this before, yet have many times observed which processes are running.
    Knowing very little of computer science or the use of shells, I felt it best to ask of someone who knows for sure, and so am humbly doing so here.
    Will

    Applications and other running processes sometimes create shells or faceless background processes as part of their normal operation, which exit after whatever task is done. If you click on the Inspect button for it, you may find out more details about what it's being used for.

  • Cannot connect to olap service. Cannot connect to Essbase Server. Error:Essbase Error(1051293): Login fails due to invalid login credentials

    Hello All,
    I am getting following error, when trying to expand essbase from calculation manager, "Cannot connect to olap service. Cannot connect to Essbase Server. Error:Essbase Error(1051293): Login fails due to invalid login credentials",
    I am using EPM 11.1.2.1
    Thanks
    Yash

    If you have moved the server to a new data center and an issue has started occurring then it could point to the change.
    Are you able to log into essbase directly with Maxl using the same account?
    If you run a registry report do you see any of the configuration with IPs instead of DNS/hostname
    Cheers

  • EssBase: Login fails due to invalid login credentials

    I am currently running Hyperion System Planning 9, authenticating users through my LDAP server and am having a problem creating new users. I have gone through what I believe are the steps I need to take and have created my users but now when they try to login to EssBase, through the excel add-in, I get this message: "Login fails due to invalid login credentials"
    I have searched the forums and the Essbase knowledge base and have come up empty. The only thing I have found is this:
    "You just need to provision your shared services user with access to Essbase. Right-click on your user, select provision and then give them the required Essbase rights."
    I have provisioned my users several times and made sure that they are added to the correct groups but they still can't log in.
    Has anyone had this issue before?
    Thanks,
    J

    Another point that you need verify, the service sequence:
    1. Start the analytic Services
    2. Star analytic Administration services.

  • Power managament / Graphical Login Manager / ...

    Hi all,
    I'm new to arch, coming from ubuntu (which is a noob distro compared to this ).
    I have several questions:
    I'm running arch (with fluxbox)  on a laptop and I wanted to place a wmpower  thingy in my slit.
    Install was succesfull but when I ran the program, I got a message:
    Cpu frequency scaling is not available
    No power management subsystem detected
    wmpower: No power management support...
    I searched forums, installed acpi (pacman -s acpi ), put acpid in my daemon list but when I ran wmpower again cpu frequency is available but I still get this error.
    No power management subsystem detected
    wmpower: No power management support...
    What else should I install?
    Other question:
    How can I install a graphical login manager, and when I'm logged in,  fluxbox must start ( startx has to be executed automatically).
    Last question: Which file manager should I use, I find rox a bit simple imo, and konqueror is to much for me
    Thx in advance
    Greetz Daan

    Hi Daan,
    Please see the wiki page regarding SpeedStep: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SpeedStep
    There are links for AMD based systems on this page as well, but only the necessary modules differ from this explanation.
    Briefly: Load the correct modules (add them to the modules array in /etc/rc.conf) for your CPU and install (and add it to the daemon section in /etc/rc.conf) cpufreq/another daemon to administer frequency scaling.
    nice regards

  • Systemd: Slim fails to start automatically after boot

    Hi, after some update a couple of weeks ago (I don't remember exactly), slim fails to start after boot. I use systemd and just had enabled the slim.service file that is included in the package. After boot, I can login on the tty and then restart the slim.service, and everything works.
    In the slim.log file it says:
    Fatal server error:
    no screens found
    Giving up.
    slim: unable to connect to X server
    /usr/bin/xauth: file /var/run/slim.auth does not exist
    It seems like slim is started before X, since everything works when I restart the service manually. What is causing this problem and how can I solve it?
    Best regards and thanks,
    Jan Oliver
