Title: how bad of an error is this error?
Post by: cat herders of linux on 11 November 2022, 22:38:59
==> WARNING: Preset file `/etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux-lqx.preset' is empty or does not contain any presets.

liquorix kernel seems bugged this last update.  guess i should see if they have a forum...

i mean obviously the kernel isnt booting from liquorix.  not an artix issue either.  can i run mkinitcpio manually to correct that?

How is mkinitcpio gonna fix that when it doesn't even have a preset file to work with?

I know not enough to know even what mkinitcpio even does so...

not a qemu user.  i use virtualboxes.  that's about as fancy as i get.  Not sure what that has to do with the failing liquorix kernel though.

I don't think it's that bad having in mind it's labeled only as a WARNING. So it's bad but not extraordinary bad.

I'm not sure about "linux-lqx"

but try this
Code: [Select]
sudo cp /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux-lqx.preset

then use a editor. "nano" for this example.
Code: [Select]
sudo nano /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux-lqx.preset
and change it to look like this

Code: [Select]
# mkinitcpio preset file for the 'linux-lqx' package

ALL_config="/etc/mkinitcpio.conf"
ALL_kver="/boot/vmlinuz-linux-lqx"

PRESETS=('default' 'fallback')

#default_config="/etc/mkinitcpio.conf"
default_image="/boot/initramfs-linux-lqx.img"
#default_options=""

#fallback_config="/etc/mkinitcpio.conf"
fallback_image="/boot/initramfs-linux-lqx-fallback.img"
fallback_options="-S autodetect"

and then run this on shell

Code: [Select]
sudo update-grub

if this doesn't work and output of
Code: [Select]
pacman -Qkk linux-lqx
shows no difference. there's a problem with package itself

TY for the option to try.  It hangs on loading initial ram disk

Code: [Select]
sudo pacman -Qkk linux-lqx

linux-lqx: 7200 total files, 0 altered files


so at this point i just stop using liquorix.  it's been a few days and no one on their forums wishes to address it yet.  I'm guesing they built that package with some systemd dependency.  If that's the case i'm out.

your solution didn't work initially but it did work today.  linux-lqx installed today without the error but still wouldn't boot so i used the preset contents as you suggested and now it boots!

you might've needed to do a
Code: [Select]
mkinitcpio --allpresets

but i think a pacman hook did it automagicly
