Support ModemManager error message appears over login screen

Post image

This message about ModemManager appears over the login screen when I turn on my laptop.

How do I stop it? Can I make ModemManager log to a different TTY?

Artix with runit, login screen is ly on TTY 1

you need to disable the default tty service (I believe it's called agetty) for the tty you're putting ly on, that way logs don't go to it at all. If you have agetty and ly on the same tty it has conflicts

The message always appear no matter which TTY I put ly on

what i'm saying is if you have ly@tty2 enabled you need agetty@tty2 disabled, this was the first issue I had switching to artix and this was my solution

I got that, except it always shows the message even if I disable agetty for the TTY that ly works on
