Wow, lightspeed fix! 🚀

Btw, if you do have arm64 images for installing on a rockpro64, can you tell me what you recommend for installing it correctly?

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Or maybe because the runit script should be provided by dbus-daemon instead of dbus.

I've updated the JWM images.

prospero · 2024-03-10 12:36:01

It looks like the new JWM image does not have the dbus problem any more, thanks!

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.

The Intel dri2 driver. I thought that xserver-xorg-video-all would install xserver-xorg-video-intel, but it doesn't. New images will be available in a few minutes. Thanks for your tests.

Done.

Great, thank you! Both now boot fine into their respective DE/WM. I can also confirm that the xfce-runit image is booting fine, as expected.

It is just amazing to have so much choice on aging harware, in complete freedom.

simple-netaid-gtk has been released:

https://git.devuan.org/aitor_czr/simple-netaid-gtk

Gnuinos images have been updated (except the plasma kde images) and now simple-netaid-gtk2 replaces to the ncurses interface simple-netaid-cdk.

Packages are available in Gtk2 and Gtk3 flavors:

https://packages.gnuinos.org/gnuinos/po … netaid-gtk

Hi there, and thanks for the update! This does look like a nice Gtk GUI, so I thought I had to give it a try

Currently getting this when booting the runit XFCE amd64 live system:

elogind[XXXX]: Failed to connect to system bus: No such file or directory
elogind[XXXX]: Failed to fully start up daemon: No such file or directory

EDIT: it works fine on a VM, so the error could be caused by a failing USB flash drive.

It works fine for me. However, there was a missing script /etc/sv/dbus/check in the openbox and xfce images. So, I recompiled and uploaded those images. Thanks for the advertisement!

prospero · 2024-04-25 21:17:48

After further testing, both runit and sysvinit XFCE images boot fine on the usual laptop with Intel GMA 3150.

They also boot fine into a VM on the desktop I am currently testing on (with Intel HD 4600 graphics), but from the USB flash drive I keep getting crocus_dri related errors in the Xorg log. I can start a session through tty, but no graphical session so far. Crocus mystery.

Anyway, elogind seems to be happy now, no error messages any more. 👍

I can't reproduce these errors in any of my computers. I wonder whether it's a vdev issue... Did you try with devuan live?

prospero · Today 14:15:05

I was able to boot from the USB into that computer using the devuan_daedalus_5.0.0_amd64_desktop-live image. 🤔

Crocus may be innocent after all.
