Help please, calamares installer doesn't work with custom iso

I created a custom iso with artools and the only thing i changed was the init system (runit) when i try to use calamares on virtualbox it shows the following error messages seen in the attachments.

Code: [Select]
sudo cp -r /etc/calamares /etc/calamares-offline
"Wer alles kann, macht nichts richtig"

Artix USE="runit openrc slim openbox lxde gtk2 qt4 qt5 qt6 conky
-gtk3 -gtk4 -adwaita{cursors,themes,icons} -gnome3 -kde -plasma -wayland "

This works for sure.

Simply enter this in the live session before calamares is started,

Now it worked, but i need it working without doing that copy xD

lol

it's extremely simple, just edit your iso profile before you build an iso.

You should use our latest iso-profiles and switch to 'wip' branch.

When did you install a test runit live-iso?

The problem is not the iso-profiles but calamares itself and the package base [line 27 in artix-service script].

Code: [Select]
COMMANDS[enable]="ln -s /etc/runit/sv/${SV} /run/runit/service/"

in my humble opinion, line 27 should look like this:

Code: [Select]
COMMANDS[enable]="ln -s /etc/runit/sv/${SV} /etc/runit/runsvdir/default"

You can start the missing services manually after installation, but I don't think that's how it's supposed to be.

You're right, the artix-service script doesn't work for runit and s6 in calamares chroot. There's a workaround implemented since a couple of days, until we fix it in alpm-hooks.
