Both now boot fine into their respective DE/WM. I can also confirm that the xfce-runit image is booting fine, as expected.
Thanks for the info

Done.
]]>After checking further, the issue that prevents the graphical session from starting seems to be the same as with plasma-sysvinit: glamor also complains that it does not get enough instructions. So it is likely hardware related. I now need to try with the latest xfce-runit image, maybe more recent versions of some GPU driver require higher specs.
The xfce-sysvinit image boots fine on the same hardware, though.
]]>I consider it a bug
... in gnuinos, I mean.
There are two runit services related to dbus in devuan: dbus itself, and the dependency fixer. Both services are provided by the same package, called runit-services. On the contrary, in gnuinos the latter is provided by runit-services, whereas the earlier is provided by dbus (since chimaera). This might be the source of the bug. Both packages should belong to the same packaging, being one or the other.
On the other hand, I noticed that one script has evaporated misteriously in my packaging. This script is invoked by the dependency fixer via sv check.
I'll try to fix these issues tomorrow.
]]>I have been trying to boot from the JWM iso, but am getting a flashing screen with umpteen lines of this error message:
fail: dbus: unable to change to service directory: file does not exist
This is the runit behavior when dbus is missing, and I consider it a bug because it's very annoying if the user starts the session without any display manager, or even GUI. This is not the case in the JWM iso, though. So, does it mean that the installed system doesn't end up at a login screen? In live sessions, live-config activates the autologin and display manager is skipped. But the annoying message is hidden by the X session in either case, and the flashing screen only appears when shutting down the system. At me at least.
]]>fail: dbus: unable to change to service directory: file does not exist
EDIT: no luck with the plasma-sysvinit iso either. I am getting error messages about glamor not getting enough instructions (64 vs. 128), so this is probably hardware related. I may try the xfce-sysvinit iso and see how that goes.
EDIT: the xfce-sysvinit live iso is running great, difficult to tell the difference with the installed xfce-runit system.
]]>Instructions another words. I read their website, but wasn't all too clear. Although, its possible I missed the 30MB unused partition part and thats why it failed lol.
Tried with devuan tho.
]]>Fixed in vdev-1.3.1. I've updated the images.
Wow, lightspeed fix! 🚀

Yes, zapper, gnuinos will support arm sooner rather than later.
If you do support arm sooner than later and it works well enough, I could potentially install on my rockpro64!
]]>However, I still have another issue not fixed yet because xfburn, k3b and the like don't want to recognize the dvd drive.
Fixed in vdev-1.3.1. I've updated the images.
