i post b/c i don't want to break my system applying the fix i think should work


Remove the branding package.
I added a default rc.local & rc.shutdown since they were in the backup array.

What is dinit-user-spawn for? I haven't missed it. Do I really need it? Or can I just disable it? I startx from .bash_profile, as someone above had problems with.

I just ran pacman -Syyu (I refrained from making any changes on the system since the first post this morning); there was no longer a conflict related to /etc/rc.local (so I did not need to remove artix-branding-base after all); I rebooted and the system has started without any glitch.

I have no problems with dbus, elogind, etc. I'm not using login managers though.
As i said in another subject - it takes forever to load dinit-user-spawn service if using auto startx from .profile.
And what's the reasoning behind using it by default anyway?



Thats not the problem of a new dependency installed frankly.
Do you run a dbus  user service?

The only unknown is how turnstile and dinit-user-spawn behave together.
If in doubt, remove and disable turnstile.

I don't have to justify development decisions, but reasoning is that dinit-user-spawn fills a gap required for increasingly desktop related user services .
It is much better than turnstile, since low level  and it does precisely what it is supposed to do, limited scope well done.
Turnstile has a different scope, more aiming to replace logind, and it is experimental and not included in a default artix install.
FWIW, i like your choice and the reasoning for it.  TY!

Dinit fucked, cannot start linux anymore.
Some error like
Code: [Select]
Couldn't load service loginready

So this part I figured out, ly service (ly-dm) depends on loginready (which, after upgrade, disappeared). In order to be able to boot I commented out "depends-on = loginready" in /etc/dinit.d/ly the result being that ly service doesn't work anymore.
Can the developers provide a solution for fixing ly service, please?

Looking at a few commits for the dinit-rc package, loginready was already a deprecated stand-in for what is now login.target. I assume then that all you'd have to do is replace the former with the latter in the service definition for ly.

Thanks for replying but that didn't fix it, /etc/dinit.d/ly needs more configuration which I don't know how to do...

For some weird reason ly started to work although I'm sure I've tried these settings before with no result. In case it might help others:

/etc/dinit.d/config/console.conf

/etc/dinit.d/ly
Code: [Select]

Yes, I run dbus user service and don't use turnstile.

When I manualy startx from tty dinit-user-spawn works fine. It loads the service itself as well as user service instances (dbus, mpd, transmission). But it takes several minutes to load the service with startx from .bash_profile. That's the problem.
I've tested turnstile the same way - no problems.

Good evening, you can set minimal_environment_handling = true in the configuration file (~/.config/dinit.d/config/dinit-user-spawn.toml), in your configuration file to prevent dinit-user-spawn from inheriting environment variables from your user. dinit-user-spawn runs "su -  youusername -c 'env'" in order to get environment variables it should inherit (I assume the env command hangs since it tries to get your env vars from eg. your bash profile), since some services that end-users may write may expect some of those env vars (although they should be using the environment file option in the dinit service they're writing themself). I could change the default to enable minimal_environment_handling = true in future, if requested by others. The reason I enabled it by default is that it more closely mirrors launching dinit manually yourself since that would inherit your environment, but since this isn't really intended behaviour by dinit as they have their own option in services for environment files, perhaps it is best it is minimal_environment_handling is set to true by default.

Beyond that, dinit-user-spawn doesn't really interact with anything else and it just launches dinit for users who have logged in (and cleans it up when requested to), and is hands off after that

Hi.
Yes, changing this option to "true" was the first thing I tried and it did work well for dinit-user-spawn itself, but some services didn't start.
Now it's clear that these services indeed use some vars.
I guess mpd uses $XDG_CONFIG_HOME by default, which isn't inherited with minimal_environment_handling = true.

Yeah, even with minimal_environment_handling disabled only environment variables (usually those that aren't set at runtime), that can be found by running the "su -  youusername -c 'env'" command will be set. I considered adding an option in the configuration file to set arbitrary env vars (eg. env_vars = [["key", "value"], ["key2", "value2"]]), but I ultimately decided it wasn't the best idea as dinit services already have a built in method of taking in env vars (https://davmac.org/projects/dinit/man-pages-html/dinit-service.5.html#env), and hence it is replicating existing functionality of upstream and best not to do to avoid scope creep and just functionality duplication (which the existing minimal_environment_handling = false already is since you can provide env vars the dinit way as mentioned, but since it is already implemented not much point removing it).

This all being said, I will look into updating the default configuration to set minimal_environment_handling = true, and to also specify a default environment file in the dinit.d directory, so users will automatically have https://davmac.org/projects/dinit/man-pages-html/dinit.8.html#e. It seems to me that this is the previous way of doing such as I see on the wiki, and hence i'll keep it to the same pattern, but first i'll discuss with artix developers on the IRC.

As of dinit-rc-0.6.4, dinit-user-spawn-1.0.0-9, turnstile-dinit-0.1.10-2, and dbus-dinit-user-20250819-2, there will be changes of how these are handled.

dinit-rc won't hard depend on any user service enabler (turnstile or dinit-user-spawn), so users will have choice whether to enable the user services or not. While by default dinit-user-spawn may be installed, it won't be enabled by default. Some user services (see dbus-dinit-user) may depend on dinit-user-spawn, but existing turnstile-dinit need not to worry since it has provides=('dinit-user-spawn'). dinit-user-spawn will also conflict with turnstile so anyone using turnstile already can uninstall dinit-user-spawn safely.

Please wait for those packages to reach your mirrors, and my apologies for the inconvenience.
