Hello Artix community! I have only been using Artix about 3 weeks. It is working great so far.
I started off using the main kernel, but yesterday I had to switch to linux-lts due to scroll freezing in firefox. That will be the subject of another post. I don't want to ask two questions in one post.
The issue is, during the boot, the process freezes at:
Checking your config file (/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf)...
I think it would hang there forever, but after a minute or so I can move along by simply hitting enter key.
Has anyone else seen this? Is there a fix? Thanks!
This is an annoying issue I haven't quite figured out what causes it.
The delay can be fixed by starting haveged before syslog-ng.
For some strange reason, there is not enough entropy present.
If you just press some random keys without haveged, you will notice syslog-ng starts up.
Wow that was fast. That fixed it. Thank you!
After installing haveged-openrc, enabling it and rebooting, I still had the problem so I appended haveged to the after line in the depend section of /etc/init.d/syslog-ng
Is that the best way to do it?
I guess I might have to fix it after updates. No big deal.
Yeah.
I consider adding it to the syslog-ng script, because our iso also has this naughty delay.
