These changes are still in [gremlins] and people living at the edge are already affected. The rest, please, read https://artixlinux.org/#180428 A copy of the news is also appended here. --------------------------- 2018-04-28 -- The next openrc-0.35.5-11 or artix-runit-20180414-9 update requires manual intervention This procedure will be necessary in [gremlins] first, later in [system]. All commands below must be run as root. First, make sure your system has an up-to-date mirrorlist. Some mirrors have stopped syncing since our primary mirror went offline for a few days. The 3 mirrors on top in the latest mirrorlist are known to sync fully. Compare your mirrors with the ones below: Server = https://mirror.clarkson.edu/artix-linux/repos/$repo/os/$arch Server = https://ftp.sh.cvut.cz/artix-linux/$repo/os/$arch Server = https://ftp.cc.uoc.gr/mirrors/linux/artixlinux/$repo/os/$arch Runit Manually remove runlevel and sysvinit symlinks: # rm /etc/runit/runsvdir/default/{dbus,elogind} # rm /usr/bin/{init,poweroff,shutdown,halt,reboot} Then proceed with system update: # pacman -Syu artix-sysvcompat OpenRC Remove elogind and dbus from their runlevels: # rc-update del elogind boot # rc-update del dbus default Then proceed with system update, making sure openrc is also updated: # pacman -Syu artix-sysvcompat # pacman -S --needed openrc If you updated before you saw this announcement, there is still hope. Help your kernel find the new init binary, by providing it manually at the GRUB command line: init=/usr/bin/openrc-init or init=/usr/bin/runit-init Then proceed as described in the respective sections above.
