[Solved] Login failure for base s6 iso (UEFI)

  • used 
    Code: (bash) [Select]
    dd bs=4M if=path/to/artix-base-s6-20220123-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdx conv=fsync oflag=direct status=progress
to make a bootable usb
  • booted into it
  • prompted to login with artix: artix
  • tried and failed to login as artix or root with artix and various other options as passwords
  • installed the runit base instead with the same procedure and had no trouble logging in

I'm just going to use the runit flavor, but I thought you guys should be aware of the issue. Thanks for making artix possible.

I can't reproduce this login failure

I have just tried booting a QEMU guest from artix-base-s6-20220123-x86_64.iso, and I could login without error with the credentials artix/artix. Can you verify that the md5sum command gives the following output with your ISO?

Code: [Select]
$ md5sum artix-base-s6-20220123-x86_64.iso

Anyway, any supported init system can be installed from any Artix ISO using the installation guide. The guide details what different package names to supply to basestrap in order to install Artix with a particular init.

Sorry, I see what happened: I must have grabbed the weekly image.

Here's the one I used.

md5

Should have gotten the one from stable.

Oh just for reference, the weekly s6 isos have been broken for a while due to some backend changes but no one ever complained until now heh. The 2022-03-13 version should be fixed although I haven't gotten around to testing it yet myself.

Edit: I tested the new weekly base s6 iso and it now works again.
