Is this normal or is there an error?

Code: [Select]

$  sv status dbus
fail: dbus: unable to change to service directory: file does not exist

That's what I get for a bunch of services. 

Yeah based on that, I would just assume that symlink messed everything up. I would suggest deleting everything in the /run/runit/service directory and then force reinstalling (i.e. using the --force flag) every single runit package you need (runit, runit-artix, dhcpcd-runit, dbus-runit, etc.). Then try the proper symlink again. So for getting internet:

Code: [Select]

# ln -s /etc/runit/sv/dhcpcd /run/runit/service

That should work just fine unless you had some really strange configuration that NetworkManger handled for you. I'm assuming you're just running a standard ethernet cable though. In that case, dhcpcd is all you need.

I don't think the symlink messed up.

If all services are symlinked, check it with pstree to see if a runsv process is running.

I simply think that @fungalnet uses

Code: [Select]

$ sv status dbus

instead of

Code: [Select]

 # sv status dbus

But seeing that the return result is not found, that suggests that the dbus service is not enabled yet.

However, just deleting everything in /run/runit/service is not wise since it will delete everything, including agetty. Which means "goodbye, usable system".

Instead, see the contents of /run/runit/service, and delete any unnecessary service.
