Clear terminal on logout + dinit

Using 'reset' / 'tput clear' in .bash_logout seemingly has no effect when using dinit for the system init - viz., initial boot messages and session errors are still visible after logout. I see multiple threads in the subforum related to tty and agetty, but I guess I'm not smart enough to put 2 and 2 together and make it work. I'm using River (git version from AUR) with Wayland if it makes a difference.

It's only a mild security issue, this is a personal machine that sits in a private residence. Still, if anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it.

I am not using wayland, but maybe my setup is somehow related. I'm logging in system in tty, and in my .bash_profile:
Code: [Select]
[[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc
if [[ -z "$DISPLAY" ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]]; then
  startx 2> $HOME/.log/.xsession-errors
  logout
fi
So after login Xorg session autoruns on tty1, and after I exit Xorg session there's immediate logout that clears tty.

Hope it helps.

No difference with logout, however I'm also using dbus-run-session to start river so I could try running dbus as a user service it's just a pain

Code: [Select]
[[ -z "${DISPLAY}" && "${XDG_VTNR}" -eq 1 ]] && exec dbus-run-session river && logout

I'm no bash expert but that should be functionally equivalent to your if statement (XDG_VNTR is a systemd-ism but it works with elogind too). If I replace logout with my usual 'reset' I get an interesting error...

Code: [Select]
(EE) failed to read Wayland events: Broken piperor opening current controlling terminal for the process (`/dev/tty'): No such device or address (polkit-error-quark, 0)authentication-".NameHasNoOwneron filerage GL_EXT_texture_shadow_....

Then when I check my tty....

Code: [Select]
echo $(tty)
/dev/pts/0

It's possible I missed a critical step when installing dinit, I was using s6 before... I feel like I'm missing something really dumb if I'm actually running a pseudo-terminal?

Edit: nevermind the last part, I ran it in a terminal emulator...

Edit2: I did try your version at the end of .bash_profile and with both versions I occasionally got a dbus error related to /dev/tty not existing instead, so I don't think it's just a Wayland thing

Well. I have openrc, maybe there's difference in tty init or something.

So from what I understand you login to a terminal session and have that configured to start your display manager via .bash_profile, and then when you exit the wayland session it's not clearing the screen (which it should do on logout because you've put a reset or equivalent in your .bash_logout)?

If this is what you have in your .bash_profile:

Code: [Select]
[[ -z "${DISPLAY}" && "${XDG_VTNR}" -eq 1 ]] && exec dbus-run-session river && logout

... then the obvious problem is the 'exec'. Once that executes bash isn't running, so the "&& logout" doesn't execute, and the normal bash logout won't function either.

It explains why the bash function 'logout' doesn't work (and to be clear, I didn't anticipate that it would, regardless of how I start my Wayland session all user programs including bash will terminate when I logout the first time), however it doesn't explain why the non-bash commands 'tset' and 'tput' generate the same errors for /dev/tty1

In other words, even if I don't 'exec'  /dev/tty1 still doesn't exist when I log out. The core issue remains.

I'd like to try and recreate your issue in virtual system. What is your configuration exactly?

You mentioned dbus errors, but 'tset' and 'tput' don't use dbus. Is it possible you misread that error message? (It might also be unrelated).

It's not likely that /dev/tty1 doesn't exist - again could you check the error message? Maybe post the exact error message here.

Edit: do you mean this message?

Code: [Select]
(EE) failed to read Wayland events: Broken piperor opening current controlling terminal for the process (`/dev/tty'): No such device or address

That's saying there's no controlling terminal (can't open /dev/tty, not /dev/tty1). It actually looks like a corrupt message ("Broken pipeeror"). But assuming that the problem is that there's no controlling terminal, that means your session is running without a terminal. So I'm guessing it's not actually a terminal login after all? That certainly would explain why 'tset' and 'tput' etc aren't clearing the screen.

That's the weird part, and sorry for not being clearer. It is a terminal login - tty1 must exist, unless I've totally lost it now? Grabbing the whole error is going to be hard, it runs off the screen and I can't find where it's being logged (if anywhere), but I'll see what I can do. I agree that it's probably unrelated to dbus, and it appears unrelated to Wayland to me as well - the constant among the errors are the complaints about /dev/tty.

This was the state of dinit services, bash files, and window manager init prior to the start of this thread.

Re: Clear terminal on logout + dinit

Reply #9 –
I installed base artix with dinit in virtual machine. Couldn't build river-git, there is some build errors. So I tried with weston. Everything working as expected. .bash_profile:
Code: [Select]
[[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc
if [[ -z "$DISPLAY" ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]]; then
  weston
  logout
fi

.bash_logout:
Code: [Select]
#
# ~/.bash_logout
#
reset

Weston autostarts after login and when I "killall weston" in weston terminal it exits weston, logs me out, clears tty and shows login prompt again.

Maybe your issue is with river? How are you closing it? Is there river-specific exit command?

Re: Clear terminal on logout + dinit

Reply #10 –
Yeah sadly until zig-wlroots gets up to speed it will only build with wlroots 0.16 apparently, oh well

I usually logout/reboot/etc. with elogind commands, ex. loginctl terminate-session $XDG_SESSION_ID. I can tell river to terminate itself with 'riverctl exit' but the result is the same.

It's conceivable that this development build of river is mucking things up, especially with the version bump in wlroots. I just have no way to explain how the exact same version and setup function the way I expect on my laptop with s6. Anyway, I appreciate you taking the time to do that - at least now I know it's probably specific to my machines and not a dinit issue.

I have a copy of the last river package I built but it's too big to upload here by 500kb... if you want to test it I'll figure something out but I don't expect you to devote much more time to this.

Re: Clear terminal on logout + dinit

Reply #11 –
Ah. So you want to clear your tty when you reboot/shutdown and not on actual bash logout. It is different matter. AFAIK bash handles .bash_logout only if "you explicitly exit the shell with exit or logout" (https://superuser.com/a/410534). Or it definitely was so some time ago, I had similar problem back then. Since then I'm using wrapper script for reboot/shutdown, maybe you should too.

Or you can clear you tty before login and redirect session error messages to a file.

Re: Clear terminal on logout + dinit

Reply #12 –
Well, what I really want is for the terminal to clear after any logout. Clearing the screen on a reboot is less important to me overall, but a reboot/shutdown will require terminating the users session anyway. As for the functional limitations of the bash command logout, that's why I was using 'reset' instead of 'logout.' Reset works regardless of whether or not bash is running. At least it's supposed to...

I'm liking the idea of a wrapper script(s) - I only use elogind commands with wleave because that's what Artix ships with... I've been wanting to try replacing it with seatd I just never seem to have the time. Redirection could probably work too, the river init file is just a bash script so even if I use exec to replace the login shell I can redirect from within the script. It's a little hacky but at this point if it works then I'm all for it.

Re: Clear terminal on logout + dinit

Reply #13 –
A little script works fine, I feel silly for not trying it earlier. I guess I was just stumped as to why it worked on one system and not another.

For river the important lines are:
Code: [Select]
riverctl spawn 'reset'
riverctl exit

If you run the spawn command with reset/logout in a terminal emulator it doesn't clear that pseudo-terminal, it forks to the background which is perfect.

And not that it matters, but since I already passed control to river via dbus it feels more POSIX-y to logout that way than with systemd stuff anyway. If nothing else I'll hit the 'Solve Topic' button because you helped me be less reliant on elogind :)
