anticapitalistaForum Admin@andfree – is runit-init(-antix) installed?
Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.
antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

All are runit.Yes, but can you check that runit didn’t get removed by an update?
Since this is the thread for antiX-25-a1/2 feedback, I’m more interested in 1 and 2.Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade (...) The following packages have been kept back: (...) runit-init-antixI tested this on live vm booted with antiX-25.a1-runit_x64-full.iso, and can confirm that runit-init-antix gets held back due to missing dependencies (namely: grub-init-diversity, init-diversity-tools), which are not on the testing/dev repo.
I believe neither are truly needed for runit-init-antix (should be made recommends or suggests) as runit-init-antix would place the init-shutdown-reboot-poweroff symlinks in the /sbin folder without the need for custom grub entries for init (which grub-init-diversity enables), or wrapper scripts for reboot-shutdown-poweroff (which the init-diversity-tools provide)

That is correct, I should have mentioned that my post was targeted to @anticapitalista.
The grub-init-diversity & init-diversity-tools are in my unofficial init-diversity repo that he hasn’t migrated across – at least yet.It is quite important for users to report issues like this, so thanks for posting this here.

anticapitalistaForum AdminantiX-25 final will use runit (and other inits) in a different way from a1/a2.
@andfree – if you want to continue with a1
Make sure these are also installed (assuming you have slimski and connman)
runit-service-boot-module runit-service-connman runit-service-dbus runit-service-dhcpcd runit-service-seatd runit-service-slimski runit-service-udevd

They are both in the antiX repos now (under dev for testing purposes)

It seems the latest init-diversity-tools (0.0.2) is only in the trixie/dev repo.
The 25.a1 uses the testing/dev repo by default & tries to pick-up the old (unresolveable) 0.0.0.1 from main.October 7, 2025 at 7:45 am #187042
anticapitalistaForum AdminThere is a big upload coming very soon

No other runit services than those mentioned in my post above are installed, but I don’t have slimski (normally, I use startx).

anticapitalistaForum AdminSince the upgrade brings in the new runit implementation, you need the ones I mentioned above (except runit-service-slimski)
You should not be using testing repos either.
I’m hoping to upload a beta soon.

MemberThank you.
I reproduced the issue on another laptop.
Before update:
$ apt list --installed (...) runit-antix/now 2.2.0-1.0antix1 amd64 [installed,local] runit-core-services-antix/now 0.1.9 all [installed,local] runit-full-core-services-antix/now 0.1.3.1 all [installed,local] runit-helper/now 2.16.4 all [installed,local] runit-init-antix/now 2.2.0-1.0antix1 all [installed,local] runit-service-dhcpcd/now 0.1.0 all [installed,local] runit-service-manager/now 0.1.9 all [installed,local] (...)I rebooted without problem.
After update:
runit-antix/testing,now 2.2.0-1.0antix1 amd64 [installed,upgradable to: 2.2.0-3.0antix1] runit-core-services-antix/testing,testing,now 0.1.9 all [installed] runit-full-core-services-antix/testing,testing,now 0.1.3.1 all [installed] runit-helper/stable,stable,now 2.16.4 all [installed,automatic] runit-init-antix/testing,testing,now 2.2.0-1.0antix1 all [installed,upgradable to: 2.2.0-3.0antix1] runit-service-dhcpcd/now 0.1.0 all [installed,upgradable to: 0.1.1] runit-service-manager/testing,testing,now 0.1.9 all [installed]I rebooted without problem, again.
After dist-upgrade:
runit-antix/testing,now 2.2.0-3.0antix1 amd64 [installed] runit-core-services-antix/testing,testing,now 0.1.9 all [installed] runit-full-core-services-antix/testing,testing,now 0.1.3.1 all [installed] runit-helper/stable,stable,now 2.16.4 all [installed,automatic] runit-init-antix/testing,testing,now 2.2.0-1.0antix1 all [installed,upgradable to: 2.2.0-3.0antix1] runit-service-dhcpcd/testing,testing,now 0.1.1 all [installed] runit-service-manager/testing,testing,now 0.1.9 all [installed]Problem to reboot.
During dist-upgrade, I chose to keep the currently-installed version of the /etc/grub.d/10_linux configuration file (default action).
EDIT: Before dist-upgrade, I ran @anticapitalx’s script (full-to-base) to reduce the number of the installed apps.
