Hi all,
You can test runit and vdev downloading the following image:
http://gnuinos.org/gnuinos%20jessie/
..I went up a step to http://gnuinos.org/index.php/en/ and found:
"100% free operating system (there is not private software included in
it).", where you probably meant to say: "100% free operating system
(there is no proprietary software included with it)." or somesuch,
i.e. s/private/proprietary/ or somesuch.
Yes, you are right. I changed it, thanks. English is not my native
language. In spanish we use private as synonimous of propietary (but
privative might be a better option in this case). On the other hand, the
website of gnuinos needs a deep update.
There are still some bugs pending to be fixed:
- In live mode, the terminal (sakura in this case) doesn't work (this
is due to vdev and it's not related with runit). It works only for
root. You'll need to shutdown the system by the following way: open
sakura as root (gksudo sakura) and type "runit-init 0"
..if I first go "telinit S", and then go "runit-init S"?
Would it work to go from sysv to runinit? (Tech Q)
Should it work to go from sysv to runinit? (Policy Q)
The best way to switch between sysvinit or runit as default init in the
grub is to set the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT system variable in
/etc/default/grub. This is:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="init=/sbint/runit-init"
or
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="init=/lib/sysvinit/init"
After that, you run update-grub2. Those init alternatives must be
included in the variable SUPPORTED_INITS defined in
/etc/grub.d/10_linux. For example, i have:
SUPPORTED_INITS="runit=/sbin/runit-init sysvinit:/lib/sysvinit/init
upstart:/sbin/upstart"
I modified the default "mkconfig_other_inits.patch" quilt patch of
debian, adding runit instead of systemd.
- I'm not sure but i think that sudo doesn't work within a virtual
tty.
- After a hard disk installation, a change is needed in the grub
(sysvinit is also present for now). At grub menu type ‘e’ and append
init=/sbin/runit-init to the kernel line read as follows:
linux/boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-4-amd64
root=UUID=d6ff61e9-ddbc-458a-ad4e-e1664953f69d ro
init=/sbin/runtit-init
..and to switch between vdev and e.g. eudev, a new vdev-install.sh?
vdev-0.1.2 can only switch between vdev and udev.
Yes, it will possible to change from vdev to eudev and vice versa. I
used a script named "vdev-assistant" in the past (most of the code was
taken from the script written by Ralph Ronnquist), but it should be
named dev-assistant instead. I'll write about this in more detail, i
have no time now.
Have a nice day,
Aitor.
