Devuans (actually Debian) implelentation of openrc does not use openrc-init. It still uses init to start things off.
Whats in /etc/init.d/rcS, does it contain something like this:
exec /sbin/openrc sysinitThis is the startup of openrc.
That's what I thought. So, openrc is just being used in Devuan/Debian as a service manager, not an init system.
Has anyone successfully booted Devuan using openrc-init as init system?
I asking this out of curiosity. My only concern is to support diversity, and, of course, have a bootable system with everything working

Hi,
Just installed devuan and plasma is working flawlessly.
I noticed that, in spite of choosing openrc, the init is actually init, not openrc-init.
Tried to boot the system with init=/sbin/openrc-init and the system says it can't start dbus (for sddm), hence it doesn't start networkmanager, etc, etc, etc.
Question: Is using openrc-init possible with devuan and can we get a full working Desktop Environment?
Regards,
