Hi, I've installed Artix runit i3 from the iso and updated it also. I've done the installation once in the past month also. But both times, I have this issue where the system boots into a blank screen with a non-blinking cursor (underscore) in the top left corner. I have to restart the system 2-3 times to get it to boot into the login screen. Another issue I'm facing in this installation is that the linux-lts kernel (which I have installed) is not showing up in the grub menu at boot. In the earlier installation, it did so. Thanks and help appreciated.
Haven't try the i3 version. Which DM is used? I used to have similar problems with LightDM.Switched to SDDM and everything works fine now.
Its lightDM. how do I change it to sddm? I'm sorry but the wiki has guidance for openrc only. What do I need to do for runit?
but this have nothing to do with openrc/runit/s6, i guess.
just edit
/etc/conf.d/xdm
as usually
The xdm file is blank. I tried putting DISPLAYMANAGER = "sddm" in it and rebooted but doesn't seem to work. Also, now LDM seems to be behaving normally.
ok, so runit have his own solution how define DM... good to know. thanks
so uninstall your lightdm-runit and install sddm-runit and link sddm to your init system (as you do when you want add new service)
