I have a minimal Ubuntu as a Linux server. It starts many scripts on startup. That is okay, but I want to disable tty1 to echo everything to display.

When I start this server, a login prompt is presented on tty1; and I want the display to be clear so nobody can see what is being typed into.

Reset to default

As root, edit /etc/default/grub and to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX add:

--default-console=none

Then run update-grub and try a reboot.

I do not have a ubuntu system here to test this on, but I am pretty sure it should suppress output from upstart (the init daemon that runs your scripts), but not the kernel's initial boot messages. To do that, also add

quiet loglevel=0

to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX before the --default-console bit, which should be last.
