Network problems after installing runit and removing openrc

Quote from: Dudemanguy – on
Personally, I've always found NetworkManager to be a giant pain that mysteriously breaks. I just use dhcpcd and the wpa_supplicant hook.

When I boot now and run ifconfig I only get lo
When I enable eth0 I only get inet6 (ipv6 dns and addressing)
When I used ifcfg eth0 add 192.168.1.1 (router's ip)
If I use the ip that is given by the router it works and inet4 begins to communicate.
I have installed dhcpd maybe I haven't been able to get the service to start and run properly yet

NetworkManager is out of the window and once I figure out how to do this it will be out of the window for my openrc artix as well.

I remembered this is related to NetworkManager using /etc/machine-id.
Using regular dhcpcd (/etc/runit/sv/dhcpcd), I got a normal IPv4 connection.

Try the solution given here.
now only the dinit guy in artix

Code: [Select]
[artix@mack ~]$ sudo dbus-uuidgen  >| /etc/machine-id
bash: /etc/machine-id: Permission denied
[artix@mack ~]$ sudo dbus-uuidgen  >| /var/lib/dbus/machine-id
bash: /var/lib/dbus/machine-id: Permission denied

The only warning I get now on the boot screen is about lvm device not found and having to fall back lvmetad

could this be a problem?  Why would a gremlins pkg be of lower number than stable?
Code: [Select]
1 galaxy-gremlins/dnscrypt-proxy-runit 20180330-1 (runit-galaxy) [installed: 20180406-1]
    runit service scripts for dnscrypt-proxy
2 galaxy/dnscrypt-proxy-runit 20180406-1 (runit-galaxy) [installed]
    runit service scripts for dnscrypt-proxy

Permission is denied because you're only using sudo to generate the dbus-uuid and you're trying to pass it to /etc/machine-id directly as your own user. You need to login as root (just su and running the command again should be enough).

Huh? Jenkins must've skipped some moves.
Package in [galaxy-gremlins] removed.

I am still facing problems, I have exhausted all possiblilities that I know and can think about.
The problem seems to be dns related and I have tried removing and installing pkgs relating to dns or resolv.conf
Some network branches do not seem to resolve correctly, for example on the mirrorlist I get the following errors:

I have by shifting the ones that work to the bottom effectively created the list that has problems, I can just switch the order making the one that works on top and get no errors, but that is not the issue.  It doesn't have to do with http or https, I get good hits and bad ones with both.
Browsing some sites is the same, more than half I have no access to.  My resolve.conf was custom made, I reverted to the isp's/router's standard and there is no difference.  So the issue is internal.  On the same machine all other installations including artix-openrc do not have any problems.

1. Have you generated /etc/machine-id? I've got no response from you after this post aside from.. a like.
2. Have you enabled the dbus service for runit?
3. Have you tried wicd/connman?

I can reproduce this with NetworkManager, but this was caused by an empty/invalid /etc/machine-id.
now only the dinit guy in artix

1  yes no difference
2 yes  dbus-daemon and dbus-launch are running
3 neither seem to help but while trying to get this to work I got this error

Code: [Select]
connman-gtk

(connman-gtk:16164): Gtk-WARNING **: 18:06:24.450: Locale not supported by C library.
	Using the fallback 'C' locale.

out of frustration I did something wild (as in wildcard)

Code: [Select]
$ sudo ln -s /etc/runit/sv/* /run/runit/service/

The problem went away, let's see what happens at reboot!
Well it seems as there were some that are problematic, like the ttys beyond 1-6
and a few other things.  Now I am going backwards, disabling services till I get to the one that was causing the problem

Would you recommend such practice to anyone having problems?

Is this normal or is there an error?
Code: [Select]
$ ls  /run/runit/service/dbus
 /run/runit/service/dbus -> /etc/runit/dbus
$  sv status dbus
fail: dbus: unable to change to service directory: file does not exist

The symlink working seems to imply to me that for whatever reason the original symlink you did for enabling the service didn't work properly. Perhaps you typo'd the directory name somewhere and didn't realize it?

Ok, but now, if there was a typing error, I have too many services linked
Why isn't sv status working or producing an error, like dbus which is essential, but for many services it doesn't work

What exactly is sv status returning for you? It should at least tell you if something is running or not. For example, something like this.

Code: [Select]
# sv status dbus  
run: dbus: (pid 648) 332775s
