reboot, halt and powerooff don't print nothing
Closed this issue · 12 comments
When I run these commands, I get nothing in screen.
Which tty are you on?
The messages get printed to tty1.
Sent from my Motorola Moto G (4) using FastHub
tty1 is busy with X. With Arch I have X in tty7 but with Artix it moves to tty1. In Arch it prints in whereever tty you are.
DM? LXDM
DM is display manager, and DE is desktop environment. I assume LXDE with LXDM?
LXDM starts by default on VT1, but it needs to be set to VT7 in lxdm.conf.
Should we maybe rebuild LXDM and change it to default to VT1?
We should probably build all common DMs as soon as jenkins does its job.
Currently, we only build sddm.
Sounds like a plan to me.
I have XFCE and LXDE with LXDM. Both have the same behaviour. I just get output if I halt (or reboot...) using lxdm button. All other options (halt from tty, halt from xfce or lxde) cause no output
With sddm it works. I changed this file:
$ cat /etc/conf.d/xdm
# We always try and start X on a static VT. The various DMs normally default
# to using VT7. If you wish to use the xdm init script, then you should ensure
# that the VT checked is the same VT your DM wants to use. We do this check to
# ensure that you haven't accidentally configured something to run on the VT
# in your /etc/inittab file so that you don't get a dead keyboard.
CHECKVT=7
# What display manager do you use ? [ xdm | gdm | kdm | gpe | entrance ]
# NOTE: If this is set in /etc/rc.conf, that setting will override this one.
DISPLAYMANAGER="sddm"
# estava a lxdm
and it's ok. But with lxdm instead, X is in tty1. So it seems a lxdm related problem.
Confirmed: it's lxdm related bug. In /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf I have:
[server]
## arg used to start xserver, not fully function
arg=/usr/bin/X -background vt1
Change this to vt7 makes it works. So you change the package configuration or something in artix linux.
