What are you logging in *to*, exactly? I'd assumed from the description that you were just logging in on the virtual console. But 'opening a fullscreen terminal' doesn't make sense in that context (unless you just mean switching TTYs, in which case: don't :D).<br /><br /> Edit: I guess maybe Raspian has some default GUI which starts, which you're logging in to, and then switching to TTY1 with ctrl+alt+f1?<br /><br /> If so, if there's some GUI, find out how to prevent that from starting (since you're not using it).<br /><br /> If not, just use the TTY that it autologs in on.
