to make a bootable usb
- booted into it
- prompted to login with artix: artix
- tried and failed to login as artix or root with artix and various other options as passwords
- installed the runit base instead with the same procedure and had no trouble logging in
I'm just going to use the runit flavor, but I thought you guys should be aware of the issue. Thanks for making artix possible.
I can't reproduce this login failure
I have just tried booting a QEMU guest from
artix-base-s6-20220123-x86_64.iso, and I could login without error with the credentials artix/artix. Can you verify that the md5sum command gives the following output with your ISO?
$ md5sum artix-base-s6-20220123-x86_64.iso

Anyway, any supported init system can be installed from any Artix ISO using the installation guide (https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Installation). The guide details what different package names to supply to basestrap in order to install Artix with a particular init.
Sorry, I see what happened: I must have grabbed the weekly image.
Here's the one I used.

Should have gotten the one from stable.
Oh just for reference, the weekly s6 isos have been broken for a while due to some backend changes but no one ever complained until now heh. The 2022-03-13 version should be fixed although I haven't gotten around to testing it yet myself.
Edit: I tested the new weekly base s6 iso and it now works again.
