What's your init program?- systemd
- sysvinit
- OpenRC-init
?

As far as understand, tty's are configured with initrc in /etc/inittab, here:
| Code: | # TERMINALS
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty --noclear 38400 tty1 linux
c2:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty2 linux
c3:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty3 linux
c4:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty4 linux
c5:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty5 linux
c6:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux |

Yes. But if OP uses openrc-init with openrc, then: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/OpenRC/openrc-init
@abdus: so you want to remove login prompt from tty8?
The tty where gui is opened is another thing. If I remember correctly with X it's set via xinit conf...
With wayland I have no clue. Mine always opens on top of whats on tty1. I've never really cared.

i am worried if the extra tty with gui causes more hardware resources consumption

So you have gui running on two ttys?
Your inittab looks fine. You're probably running sysvinit then.
Just in case; please run and paste the output here.

I'd say, rather show us what's grabbing /dev/tty[78]:
| Code: | | ps ax -o tty,args | grep tty[78] |

It looks like you have gui only on tty8.
If you switch to tty7 what do you see? A gnome session?

openrc-init is not the same as openrc in this context.
Most common OpenRC setup is where you have sysvinit as init (PID 1) and openrc handling which services/daemons start at which runlevel.
If you choose to switch to openrc-init from sysvinit, then you need to make sure that you enable some *tty services at certain runlevel.
Please see: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/OpenRC/openrc-init for more.

The default is sysvinit + OpenRC. 'Pure OpenRC' (openrc-init) is experimental. But even if you use that setup, you'll normally have agetty processes opening /dev/tty1 to /dev/tty6. I don't think it is relevant for your GUI question.
Judging by the previous outputs, you are using GNOME on Wayland, right? Having /dev/tty7 and /dev/tty8 open might the expected thing in that scenario. I hoped that the output of ps would show the process that opens /dev/tty7 (/dev/tty8 is likely opened by gdm-wayland-session). It doesn't, but I expect it to be something also related to GDM. You can try this (as root, because otherwise it will report incomplete information):

I remember having this same issue on some Fedora or CentOS install. If you logged in to wayland session the login manager would still stay at tty7 (because it's inside X session) and wayland session would open on tty8.
So it might be possible that you see gdm login screen on tty7. Can you interact with it? Try to type your username there and move the cursor. I wonder if something triggers and starts gdm as soon as you change your vt to tty7...

thank you for your explanation, it means that i misunderstood and thought that sysvinit was added without needing it, however it seems that it must be added for 2 things the first it is the default init and the second i am using gentoo with gui
the output for that command is here https://dpaste.com/APT72TCQ6
