system76-power.service with runit

05 November 2021, 18:14:33

Hello there! In my previous Arch installation I used to use system76-power for managing graphics and power profiles in my system (AMD Radeon RX Vega 10 as iGPU and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 as dGPU), which worked perfectly.

The thing is, I recently switched to Artix (loved it so far) to get away from systemd, and I'm new to the runit init system, but when using systemd, system76-power used to run through systemctl enable --now system76-power.service, and I want to continue using this utility.

How can I make it work with runit?

Thanks! And apologies if the question sounds dumb.

Put following content in /etc/runit/sv/system76-power/run and start service

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/system76-power daemon

I hope it will work fine , but not sure

nvm, I forgot to give execution rights to run, and according to sv status system76-power it's working, but when running system76-power graphics hybrid it throws an error

Looks like the app/script would have to be patched to remove systemd stuff before you could use it
