Services expected to run are located in /etc/runit/runsvdir/default. Once it is linked there, it will automatically try to start.
It seems, the script you use expects tty2 to be free, therefore you need to disable agetty-tty2 or change it to other tty in script itself

So, I changed tty2 with tty3 within the script, removed the link /etc/runit/runsvdir/current/ly-runit-service and created a new link with
sudo ln -s /etc/runit/sv/ly-runit-service /etc/runit/service
Then I rebooted and nothing happened

By default tty1 to tty6 are enabled, so you need at least tty7. Also, there is no /etc/runit/service, /etc/runit/runsvdir/default contains the running ones

Try starting command in script manually

Run command from script as root, not as runit script.Then you'll get its error output

Most likely the same is in script

https://github.com/drozdowsky/ly-void  project is dead, 1.5 years was not updated.
Use runit service from this project and try the original, which is still devoleped https://github.com/nullgemm/ly (no need systemd).

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ly/ (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ly/)
Try building the AUR package. I've no idea how to set it up or if it works properly, but at least it didn't segfault when I tried it briefly so would get past that issue.

The thing is that if I simply run ly form terminal it works, but if I run this script https://raw.githubusercontent.com/drozdowsky/ly-void/master/res/ly-runit-service/run with sudo ./run I get the segmentation fault

I think that maybe the script is wrong cause there are variables like $GETTY_ARGS, $BAUD_RATE, and $TERM_NAME which are never declared or initialized. Could it be the reason?

I think, you'd better run

Code: [Select]

sudo /usr/bin/ly tty2 "${BAUD_RATE}" "${TERM_NAME}"

with properly set values

I tried to follow this by changing my script with that

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh

tty=${PWD##*-}

[ -r conf ] && . ./conf

if [ -x /sbin/getty -o -x /bin/getty ]; then
	# busybox
	GETTY=getty
elif [ -x /sbin/agetty -o -x /bin/agetty ]; then
	# util-linux
	GETTY=agetty
fi

#exec setsid ${GETTY} ${GETTY_ARGS} -nl /usr/bin/ly tty7 "${BAUD_RATE}" "${TERM_NAME}"

exec /usr/bin/ly tty7 "${BAUD_RATE}˝ "${TERM_NAME}"

by setting BAUD_RATE to 38400 and TERM_NAME to "linux". Still nothing, tty1 starts by default and if I change to tty7 it gets in stuck.

I tried to reproduce and get it working with:

/etc/runit/sv/ly/run

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh

tty=${PWD##*-}

[ -r conf ] && . ./conf

if [ -x /sbin/getty -o -x /bin/getty ]; then
	# busybox
	GETTY=getty
elif [ -x /sbin/agetty -o -x /bin/agetty ]; then
	# util-linux
	GETTY=agetty
fi

exec setsid ${GETTY} ${GETTY_ARGS} -nl /usr/bin/ly tty7 "38400" "linux"

Edited /etc/ly/config.ini:

Code: [Select]

# tty in use
tty = 7

Then just enabled service

Code: [Select]

ln -s /etc/runit/sv/ly /run/runit/service

and reboot

Thank you! It finally works! Meaning that it shows at startup, but if I type my password it doesn't log me in :'(
I select i3, my username, type my password, press enter, and it shows on top "logged out".... Why?
