[gentoo-user] How to avoid NetworkManager logs <info> in terminals
Ale
What can i do to avoid this?
The start-stop daemon have the parameter --quiet
I double check /etc/rc and the VERBOSE option for this kind of services is off
i tried adding a /dev/null >& at the end of the start-stop daemon call, but didn't work.
Any clues?
Cheers!

Exactly same problem for me. I even compiled the networkmanger package with use flag "debug" disable but in vain.
Thanks,

what's wrong with output? can you post the output verbatim? I had a
look at the init script and it doesn't seem to print much.

not quite sure what "/dev/null >&" would do. I tried this with
net.eth0:
sudo /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart >/dev/null
and it got rid of all the output. To be sure, you could add 2>&1
sudo /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart >/dev/null 2>&1

yes, I know :) I was just using net.eth0 as an example because I was
too lazy to install networkmanager and see for myself!

Did you try my suggestion?

did it help? (substitute net.eth0 with NetworkManager ;)
It looks like all the output comes from this line in the init script
(again, only looking in the source, so YMMV)
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec ${processname}
try adding
>/dev/null 2>&1
to the end of it.

Hi!
about sudo /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart >/dev/null 2>&1 I tried this before send this email, but the NetworkManager logs <info> and <debug> in the tty1 anyway, the only change is that i don't see any output in the terminal i run the command.
about start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec ${processname} yes, i also tried your suggestion before send the email, but with the same bad result.
I not sure but for me, the parameter console=tty1 i have in the the kernel line i use in grub have something to do (i use fbsplash and fbcondecor), but is not the only reason, i check sabayon linux which use NetworkManager, fbsplash and fbconvecor just like the way i do, but NM don't do the same.
Many thanks for your help!
Cheers!

aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh i see...
I thought you were on console 1, I didn't realise that NetworkManager
printed output to console 1 even if you started it from elsewhere... Now
I get it!

yes, won't work given what you've said...

Sounds like NetworkManager is using syslog() to write to the log file,
and you have syslog set up to notify you. This usually happens by
printing messages to console 1! NetworkManager seems to translate glib
errors directly to syslog errors. Have a look at nm-logging.c if you
want to see more about that.
Anyway, depending on the logger you use (I use syslog-ng) you can set it
up not to be so verbose. syslog-ng allows you to filter based on
program name for example. man syslog-ng.conf for more info (or whatever
logger you use :)
Have a look at http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng.conf for some examples.

You rock! that was the key of my problem, i just added syslog-ng to the default run level and i don't get more that odd behavior of NetworkManager. Now is time to configure syslog-ng properly.
Many thanks! :D
