logging on tty login

I've had this issue on multiple pc's, but random logging like on boot, continues after the tty login display appears. I can still login, but as you can imagine it's quite anoying not being able to see what you are typing, because of random crap taking over the screen

As of now im running on an x240 thinkpad with Void linux (Glibc version)

Console messages are usually on tty1. The default is to have multiple ttys available. If so, you may use "<Alt> F2" to switch to tty2 and login from there (or F3 for tty3, etc.). Assuming that works for you, you can place a "chvt 2" command in "/etc/rc.local" to automate switching to different tty before login.

After doing this, the messages are fewer (i think?) but they still appear

Change your syslog rules. 'Console' is the keyword you want to search for and disable.

There is no syslog daemon enabled by default on void linux and the standard syslog implementation mentioned in the documentation does not log to /dev/console or has a rule or configuration option for "console".

runit services log to /dev/console if they don't have a log service configured.
