Re: GNUinOS - Libre

If at some point you can test openrc, that would be appreciated. I would more likely use it if that were the case.

Re: GNUinOS - Libre

I'm working on that. I would like to be able to integrate vdev in other systems like Hyperbola, Guix, Void, Alpine...

Just a heads-up gnuinos.org is currently giving the same page as in https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=50515#p50515.

Re: GNUinOS - Libre

I am currently getting a timeout when trying the 2025.04.23 xfce runit image on a VM. So the live system would not start, and the installed system also fails to start. I am getting a message about default-syslog, but have no idea whether that is the actual culprit.

Re: GNUinOS - Libre

Syslog isn't the culprit, but some of the changes I did in the daedalus version of vdev (chimaera images do work). So, I've found the solution to the problem (at least in qemu) by comparing both releases. Tested with qemu and only in one machine, though. Give me a couple of days and I'll update daedalus images.

Thanks again for your patience and your tests, prospero!

Re: GNUinOS - Libre

Hi @aitor.
If I was interested in making an init-diversity spin of GNUinOS, which variant in your opinion would be the most popular to base this on?

Re: GNUinOS - Libre

@Prowler_Gr: vdev has been notably improved since my last post, and now it works fine with runit, sysvinit and openrc, whereas s6 is a work in progress.
I'm updating the repository in order to rebuild the iso images as soon as possible.

Thanks a lot for your interest in gnuinos. Well..., I don't know which would be the most popular. You can email me in private.

Re: GNUinOS - Libre

@aitor what do you mean by vdev? ZFS?

Curious.

If you mean ZFS, I think there are better options for Hyperbola, such as HAMMER2.
