Can't update very old Void Linux

Hi,

I have a problem updating a very old void linux. I tried updating, removing orphaned packages, removing the python-sip-PyQt5 package, but every action on xbps-remove fails with those unresolvable shlibs. Any advice?

Thanks,
Sebastian

Fresh install, invisible mouse problem..

Hi,

I have installed this in VMware workstation, seems its having an issue where mouse is invisible until an application is opened, only after that it becomes visble on screen.

Any thoughts on how to fix this ?

How do I fix my reboot and halt?

I have dwm with exitmenu patch, but the reboot and shutdown buttons did not work

I tried working it around the exitdwm.c file and tried to make it use the linux scripts for reboot and halt, but still nothing. In the end I thought it was a permission issue so my genius ass went to the sbin folder to try and fix the issue, so after playing around with chown I executed this command ls -l | grep reboot -> halt which I guess overwritten my halt script binary file and now it's not working.

How can I fix it without needing to reinstall the whole system from scratch?

Edited:
Calling sudo halt says there is no halt command, and running sudo shutdown -h now shows this:

Broadcast message from root@VoidK (pts/1) (Tue Oct  8 23:19:31 2024):
system is going down NOW
/usr/bin/shutdown: 73: halt: not found

Edit 2:
Fixed it, I just downloaded the halt.c file from void-linux github and compiled it, then threw it in the /sbin and it works now

how to install fresh Blender

hello.

I downloaded void packages from git hub

I changed Blender version number in Template file

I run ./xbps-src pkg blender

and I have error:

=> ERROR: SHA256 mismatch for 'blender-4.2.2.tar.xz:'

3af4f44d9e5e5309303417097e017d5087f9bb409bc3724bc49a1292e52aef24

=> ERROR: blender-4.2.2_3: couldn't verify distfiles, exiting...

Is there a simple answer to this?

Or maybe there will be a new Blender in the repo?

Thanks for any hint :-)

How well does Void Linux run on laptops?

Recently I heard about freeBSD team's plan to make it work better on new hardware, specially in laptops, and I would like to know if Linux (specifically Void) works fine in laptops. I hope it will be cleaner and better than freebsd.

Do the ARM images enable OpenSSH service?

I've been going through the documentation for Void's ARM images and I found the default login credentials, but I can't find anything which says whether OpenSSH is enabled by default. If I flash the live image to my Raspberry Pi will I be able to login over the network (Ethernet)? This is a headless device.

runsv high CPU usage

A few days ago I set-up runit with per-user services for my user account, then I created a new configuration inside there to start direwolf. That part works great. When the pi boots my user service folder is getting run and direwolf is starting.

But what Im also seeing is a runsv process (running as my user) at 100% CPU. This isnt really too much of a problem from the point of it working. Its not interfering with direwolf. However, somethings not right and I'd like to fix it but I have no idea where to start to figure it out.

File already installed by another package

Hello,

I wanted to update my void, but during installation, I got the following :

...
public-suffix-2024.07.01_1: collecting files...
purpose-5.116.0_1: collecting files...
ERROR: purpose-5.116.0_1: file `/usr/share/accounts/services/kde/google-youtube.service' already installed by package kf6-purpose-6.6.0_1.
ERROR: purpose-5.116.0_1: file `/usr/share/accounts/services/kde/nextcloud-upload.service' already installed by package kf6-purpose-6.6.0_1.
Transaction failed! see above for errors.

This error doesn't appear on the Common Issues page. Any hint on what happens ? And on how to solve the problem ?

Edit: Maybe it was obvious, but in case it might help: xbps-remove -O solved the problem
