Well, do you use TTY1 at all? or is it your graphical interface? if it
is a graphical interface you can just setup fenrir to ignore TTY1.
well, the case is, fenrir speaks the current screen on startup. and
those messages are the content of your current screen at TTY1.
so you have 3 options here:
- i can add an option for you to not speak the screen on startup. what
will still speak the messages if you change to TTY2 and back to TTY1
because its the content of the screen.
- or you clear the screen before fenrir start
- or its your graphical interace (what i assume, otherwhise those
messages are cleared out as far as i know by the getty service of
systemd to get a login shell), then you can add this TTY to the
ignoreScreen settin of fenrir. then content on TTY1 is never spoken and
fenrir is deactive for TTY1.

Hi Chrys,
You have identified the issue.
When I do
sudo cat /dev/vcs1
I get the messages that Fenrir speaks whenever it starts.
What should I do about silencing them or they cannot be silenced in this
configuratioin?

speaks
Howdy,
ah so its not a issue at boot time?
fenrir reads the current screen on startup. your current screen might be
TTY1 (ctrl + alt + f1). on this screen there still might be the boot messages.
so it might be the content of TTY1 after boot process, but you dont want to
have the content of TTY1 spoken?
sounds like the boot buffer is not flushed, there is an GUI running on
TTY1 is this correct? i see this here as well if there is no getty on
TTY1 (my x server).
you can verify if this is still written on the screen by sudo cat /dev/vcs1
then you might the get the boot messages when they are still shown on the
screen.
cheers chrys

Hi Chrys,--------------------------------------------
<snip another idea that comes into my mind would be starting fenrir later in
boot process.
PL] Yes, but these messages are spoken whenever I launch Fenrir.
I launch it from a ssh terminal for testing.
