I have this issue as you can see in the picture, it’d be a great help if anyone knows the problem, since I can’t quite solve it myself. Thanks!
Which installation type is this? Gnome? Plasma? XFCE? Server? Other? Is it new with 20250627, or older and upgraded? If upgraded, what method was used?
Is that whiteout hiding something you typed there, or something that appeared on its own? Showing us input/output from running command inxi -Faz in a GUI terminal by copy & pasting here enclosed by the </> button (to preserve the original output formatting) could possibly help us help you investigate what is happening there.
IME, tty1 gets treated differently from other ttys. If you wish to use tty logins, try using any of the others instead. I rarely use tty1 other than to revisit leftover login messages.
Hi, for your question. This isn’t an installation, I use TTY1 as my login instead of using a Display Manager like SDDM or LightDM. And I just have system upgraded today and the version is 20250627, yes. I used sudo zypper dup --allow-vendor-change to update.
The hidden are my local IPs, I quite don’t really feel comfortable sharing those even though it’s harmless. So please forgive me for that problem.
And this is the inxi -Faz you asked for:

Thank you for sharing your precious time to help me with my problem.
@neifua I see it here, but don’t switch to a VT very often, never worried about it…
Well same here but I use it to login into my session so it quite annoying getting spammed like that 
.
I do the same on MicroOS and Hyprland with seatd, but don’t see it there… I suspect it’s maybe related to the likes of motd and issue with it posting the ip address, cycles through per interface.
I suggest look at /etc/issue and edit that as required…
This is what in the /etc/issue you told me to look at
Welcome to openSUSE Tumbleweed 20250627 - Kernel \r (\l).
enp44s0: \4{enp44s0} \6{enp44s0}
wlan0: \4{wlan0} \6{wlan0}
I tried to delete the enp44s0 and wlan0 but it’s keep respawning again.
@neifua have a read of the man page for issue-generator…
Isn’t this the"message of the day"? It is normally the contents of /etc/motd (which by default has Have a lot of fun...). It is shown by the loginprocess. See
man login`
and the file /etc/login.defs.
I remember vaguely that people thought it being a good idea to show the IP of something (I am not sure of what).
Alas, I have forgotten the details on how they achieved that (and thus on how to switch it off).
Please note that I am on Leap, thus it may be a bit different on Tumbleweed.
@hcvv it’s a little different on Tumbleweed, no more /etc/motd and /etc/issue is a link to /run/issue. It’s tied in with network interfaces and provide ssh info.
@neifua, Does it happen on tty2, tty3, tty4, tty5 or tty6? If not, why not use one of them instead of tty1. As I wrote, tty1 is (marginally) different from the others, but all are provided the same support for getting your work done.
@hcvv, I switch eth0 off via empty /etc/issue.d/70-eth0.conf.
To what of my questions is this an answer? I am not even aware I asked for something.
@malcolmlewis It kinda fixed the spamming issue. Well I’m happy with this so thank you guys for the helps! @mrmazda
You didn’t directly phrase a question:
I described what you forgot, how to “switch it off”.
@malcolmlewis, @mrmazda I’m really appreciate the helps! No more spamming in TTY1 straight into my face.
OK, now I see. I hope I will remember when this hits Leap.

@neifua see this thread https://forums.opensuse.org/t/mysterious-new-eth0-line-in-agetty-login-prompt/147185
@hcvv you have a post or two there as well… 
Oh, I have seen that thread but was too lazy to read it mb , I’ll check around next time I post something!
Ah, yes, years and years ago. No wonder I can not remember the details.
But I love this one:
Should that mouth full of gibberish explain why something so simple as the /etc/issue file should be subjeced after 50 years of existence into such nonsensical behavior? People should be free to have hobbies. I have, But I keep them to myself.
Please be aware that until now I did not make any derogatory remarks about these messages (it is the OP that called them Spam). But in those times I was more daring it seems.
