Hello guys,
For weeks I have had the problem that fresh installations do not boot to the desktop after a first reboot.
It doesn't matter whether I use one of the stable ISO images or one of the weekly ISO images.
Each time the system boots to the login prompt and then it stops.
I always use the offline mode for installation.
The only thing they have in common is that I use runit as the init system.
Does anyone have an idea or a tip as to why this could be?
Thanks in advance for all of your answers.
regards
roberto
Which ISOs specifically? Qt ones use sddm, Gtk ones lightdm. What does /var/log/Xorg.0.log say?
I tried plasma 5 stable runit (artix-plasma-runit-20230814-x86_64.iso) then xfce weekly ISO (artix-xfce-runit-20240517-x86_64.iso) and finally cinnamon runit (artix-cinnamon-runit-20240520-x86_64.iso).
With all three with the same result.
Wild guess based on the complete lack of any details about the hardware:
You have an old GPU which isn't supported by the current driver ?
Sorry, here is my configuration:

At the moment I have installed Void Linux because the Artix installation is not working.
But I would like to switch.
I'd take a read of this https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Intel_graphics
And look for errors(EE) in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
I still guess there's an issue with the X GPU driver.
I will try a fresh installation and then I check the log file.
First of all thanks for your help :)
I have tested a fresh installation on various notebooks, most recently on a Lenovo T450s. I have the same problem on all devices, the boot process stops at the login line.
I have taken screenshots of the last installation.
Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?
I am a big step further and I have the impression that it is related to runit as init-system.
I installed the stable openrc version of Plasma 5 (artix-plasma-openrc-20230814-x86_64) on the T450s last night.
After the installation my notebook booted without any problems and I was able to install all updates.
Since then the system runs like a machine.
Is it possible that this is the reason?
I mean, no runit version booted to the desktop after the installation.
In any case, I will switch to openrc.
Thanks to everyone who took care of my problem.
Best regards
Roberto
Wrong, nothing has changed in runit.
After installation, restart and login is sufficient:
ln -s /etc/runit/sv/ntpd /etc/runit/runsvdir/default
ln -s /etc/runit/sv/dhcpcd /etc/runit/runsvdir/default
ln -s /etc/runit/sv/lightdm /etc/runit/runsvdir/default
