(More) help removing log lines from startup screens

Hi,

I have text showing up in my login process and need help removing it. I know this has been asked a bunch, and I've tried a bunch of things that Googling and searching have turned up. But a couple lines still persist and I'm hoping someone can point out where I might have missed something.

Right after my splash video, and before the emulation station loading screen, I see the following lines:

Linux retropie 4.9.35-v7+ #1014 SMP Fri Jun 30 14:47:43 BST 2017 armv71
'tty1' unknown terminal type.
tput: unknown terminal "tty1"

I have no idea where this is coming from. For the record, here is my cmdline.txt:

dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty3 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait quiet loglevel=3 consoleblank=0 plymouth.enable=0 logo.nologo

and I won't post the whole thing but the end of my config.txt includes these lines:

enable_uart=1
disable_splash=1
avoid_warnings=1

Any idea what else I should check? Thank you!

Thank you, I went through all that again to double check. In combing it over, I was able to find the errant reference to "tty1" in that autologin@.service file. Changing it there to tty3 fixed the error messages.

However the line "Linux retropie 4.9.35-v7+ #1014 SMP Fri Jun 30 14:47:43 BST 2017 armv71" persists. Less annoying since it's not an error, but I'd still prefer it to be gone. Just not sure where it's coming from.

I solved it!

Add "clear" as the first line in /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh. Never seen that tip anywhere other than that thread, but it worked!
