non graphical login
hi there folks ,
two questions :
1) how can i avoid graphical login ( lightdm ) and use the cli instead ?
2) i'm looking for a way to execute some pre-login commands in other
to have some output results ( such as sensors, neofetch ) shown before the login happens
example :
`:+ssssssssssssssssss+:` ------------------
-+ssssssssssssssssssyyssss+- OS: xxxxx
.ossssssssssssssssssdMMMNysssso. Model: Lxxx
/ssssssssssshdmmNNmmyNMMMMhssssss/ Kernel: xxx
+ssssssssshmydMMMMMMMNddddyssssssss+ Uptime: xxxx
/sssssssshNMMMyhhyyyyhmNMMMNhssssssss/ Packages: xxxx
.ssssssssdMMMNhsssssssssshNMMMdssssssss. Shell: xxxxx
+sssshhhyNMMNyssssssssssssyNMMMysssssss+ Resolution: xxxxxxxxx
ossyNMMMNyMMhsssssssssssssshmmmhssssssso DE: GNOME
ossyNMMMNyMMhsssssssssssssshmmmhssssssso WM: GNOME Shell
+sssshhhyNMMNyssssssssssssyNMMMysssssss+ WM Theme: Adwaita
.ssssssssdMMMNhsssssssssshNMMMdssssssss. Theme: xxxxxx
/sssssssshNMMMyhhyyyyhdNMMMNhssssssss/ Icons: Axxxxxxx
+sssssssssdmydMMMMMMMMddddyssssssss+ Terminal: gnome-terminal
/ssssssssssshdmNNNNmyNMMMMhssssss/ CPU: Intel i5-3340M (2) @ 3.4GHz
.ossssssssssssssssssdMMMNysssso. GPU: NVIDIA NVS 5200M
-+sssssssssssssssssyyyssss+- Memory: ssssssssssssssssss+:`
.-/+oossssoo+/-.
--> login promt :

(PS Please use [ code ] tags for terminal output in your posts 
see my sig for post formatting. And welcome to Bunsenlabs

EDIT To run a command before logging in, I think you have to have a systemd unit file, but I'm not the person to advise you about that subject! systemd.unit(5)

But doesn't that run after the $USER has logged in? @OP wants something like screenfetch to run in a TTY before the login prompt.

actually yes, i wanted the script /command to start before the user logs into the system..
more or less like a motd in a cisco system when promts you for a credential and shows you
some infos about the system you're going to log into.

Why not use /etc/motd?
EDIT: thread moved to Help & Support (Other)
