[ABANDONNED] Errors since last update, no display available, among others

Hi

I ran an update this morning (my last one was the 28th of august). Since I get weird errors.
I cannot show much as I am on a live setup now.

I short, I get errors about /dev/null: Permission denied.
Indeed /dev/null is crw------- for root/root.

I tried to downgrade system packages (linux, nvidia and deps, dinit), without success.
It looks like a global issue on permissions, but I can't see what.

With openrc it looks like /dev/null is created and it's permissions set by /etc/init.d/devfs which is one of the openrc boot service files and  part of the openrc package:
Code: [Select]
                # udevd will dup its stdin/stdout/stderr to /dev/null
                # and we do not want a file which gets buffered in ram
                [ -c /dev/null ] || mknod -m 666 /dev/null c 1 3

Well, I'm too old and tired to continue handling these kind of things.
I thought still being a deep tweaker but I realized it's not my cup of tea anymore.
Thus I revert back to a systemd Arch based system.

Thanks for help still, and long life to Artix o_/

Caveat emptor.
The whole reason I came back to Artix the second time was because I got sick and tired handling "these kind of things" with systemd and arch.

If you wanted a trouble free install then use OpenRC or possibly Runit, Dinit is a much more recent addition here so is more likely to throw up occasional development challenges to users. As OpenRC creates /dev/null it's likely this was a Dinit related problem and the relevant service is not running for whatever reason, due to your config or something else. I generally found systemd to cause more problems than non-systemd, but ymmv!  ;D

As ###### said, MMMV, and who knows, maybe I'll get tired of systemd again and will revert back to Artix someday.
