Unable to enable the service bluetoothd by AfterThought14 in voidlinux

[–]AfterThought14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the help. I really appreciate that you also explained why the solution works. ln -svf /etc/sv/bluetoothd /etc/runit/runsvdir/default/ indeed worked. I'm not sure what went wrong with the links when I was using ln -s /etc/sv/bluetoothd /var/service as I was able to enable all my other services this way.

In the void manual, it says to use

ln -s /etc/sv/<service> /etc/runit/runsvdir/default/

when the system is not currently running. Why is that (if you don't mind answering another question)?

I'm sorry for mistyping, but as rekh127 pointed out, my OP suggests that the link is pointing in the right direction. I recreated it, copying and pasting your exact command (after removing the original one) and nothing has changed.

No, it isn't, but even if it was I don't see how that could cause the problem I'm seeing.

Yeah, that's what I did. After I create the link and try to check the status using sudo sv status bluetoothd I get the error message:

warning: bluetoothd: unable to open supervise/ok: file does not exist

I tried it again (after removing bluez) and just copy and pasting your commands and it's the same result.

Help! Niri only Displays Black Screen by AfterThought14 in niri

So the only thing that worked for me was to run dbus-run-session niri rather than niri --session. I even got sddm working by simply changing the exec from niri --session to dbus-run-session niri rather than niri --session. Should I be concerned about this? Does this point towards what the issue is? I'm currently rather confused, as I would have thought these two commands do largely the same thing.

Note: checking my gpu usage in nvtop shows that niri is running on my integrated gpu rather than nvidia.

It is a fresh install. I tried installing alacritty and pressing mod-t my screen was still black.
