How to diable progress bar completely

I want to suppress all output from fastai2 and other packages, so I used %%capture magic.

But it seems fastai2 requires stream to display progress bar, so it raised error, can anybody tell me how to disable the progress bar completely?

%%capture --no-stderr
...

learn.lr_find(show_plot=False)

It’s learn.no_bar. I forget what the other is but there’s two (do no and hit tab)

So you do

with learn.no_bar() and learn.the other one:
learn.fit()

So much thanks !!
I found use wiht learn.no_bar() is enough to work with %%capture
and if I don’t want information print by fit completely, I can do with learn.no_bar(), learn.no_logging(), which I won’t see anything completely.

I found there are three related functions, and below is a small note.

no_bar no_mbar no_logging
main bar n n y
progress bar n y y
sheet n n n
L y n n

“progress bar” is phase (e.g. lr find) running.
“main bar” is progress of all epochs.
“sheet” is the table that shows val_loss and other things
“L” is a L object print by fit that records information recorded by sheet originally.
