Fix for the dbus error should be listed on wiki install guide page (runit)

 I almost switched back to arch after switching to artix since voidlinux had severe audio issues because I couldnt get plasma-desktop running, I know there is a wiki page on it but I found it hard to find, and think it should be added to the installation guide.

the fix im talking about is

```dbus-uuidgen >| /etc/machine-id```

sorry if this is a duplicate or if this is intentionally left off the install page.

Reply #2 –
Install dbus-runit and ensure that dbus service is added to the default runlevel. The service will autostart that command on boot

Code: [Select]
etc/runit/sv/dbus/run

---

#!/bin/sh
dbus-uuidgen --ensure=/etc/machine-id
[ ! -d /run/dbus ] && install -m755 -g 81 -o 81 -d /run/dbus
exec dbus-daemon --system --nofork --nopidfile

Note: Add the dbus service to default NOT the script
If I can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!
