Dear Maintainer,

When Text mode greeters are used, logging to console breaks the
greeter prompting. In case of agreety it is no big deal, a couple of
<Enter>s fixes it, but tuigreet suffers immensly.

I've manage to fix it with setting following in sysctl:
  kernel.printk = 4 4 1 7
but I'm not sure whether it is the best way to do it.

Cheers,
Srdjan

Quack,

I think I was confused by the title of this bug report and did not
understand it well. Now that wlgreet is broken I'm temporarily using
tuigreet and I understand the problem.

I also have no idea how to fix it. One big problem is that the VT is
configurable and won't necessarily be 7, so we need a solution that's
more flexible.

Regards.
