why not systemd
by Roelof Wobben 21 Nov '14

21 Nov '14

As many of you know I try to port Cinnamon to Crux. But on the road I saw that many things depend on systemd. So I wonder why Crux is one of the last distros who refuses to use it. I ask this because on Cinnamon we have two choices: - use systemd. - use polkit, consolekit and pam. and make our own sysvinit scripts for some services like colord and polkit-gnome. For the last one I ask help on the ML but no help so far. Regards, Roelof Wobben

CRUX 3.0 in the cloud (EC2)
by Chris Kruger 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Hi Folks, I don't know if anybody here uses Amazon's EC2, but maybe some here will be interested. I've always wanted to run CRUX in the cloud so I built an Amazon AMI (Amazon Machine Image) to allow me to do so. If anybody else is interested let me know and I can share the AMI with you. Chris K.

Crux on beagle bone black?
by Bernd Eggink 01 Dec '13

01 Dec '13

Hi all, the BBB is a nice toy, but the pre-installed Angström Linux is horrible (systemd, arghh!). Unfortunately crux-arm.nu doesn't mention the beagle bone, and the "General setup" and "Configuration tips" pages are empty. Has anybody successfully installed Crux on a BBB? Regards, Bernd -- http://sudrala.de

porting evince
by Jan Šmydke 25 Nov '13

25 Nov '13

Hello, please, does anyone has experience in porting evince or anything similar of gnome origin? I was able to build it (2 other ports created: itstool and gsettings-desktop-schemas), but when I try to start it, it only says: GLib-GIO-ERROR **: No GSettings schemas are installed on the system Trace/breakpoint trap And when I try: gsettings list-schemas Segmentation fault I am just curious whether anyone can give any clue. Perhaps rebuild glib? Or install another stuff from gnome? Thank you for any kind of hint! JS

ARM (chromebook) port
by Wawrzek Niewodniczanski 24 Nov '13

24 Nov '13

Hi, I have a Samsung Chroombook (last year edition) and start to think to put Crux on it. I have noticed Crux on ARM project, but it's not very active and doesn't support my hardware. How hard to prepare new ARM port? or maybe someone already did it?

Re: why not systemd
by James Mills 21 Nov '13

Just to clarify and to help put this to rest once and for all. systemd: 1) mixes udev and an init into a single entity. 2) redesigns the entire init process unnecessarily and is not backwards compatible with any older init systems. 3) If anything catastrophic in systemd breaks - you're boned. The _only_ init alternative that should _ever_ be considered for CRUX is either: runit, or something similar. cheers James James Mills / prologic E: prologic(a)shortcircuit.net.au W: prologic.shortcircuit.net.au On Thu, Nov 21, 2013 at 8:55 PM, Baptiste <bedis9(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > Very simply: systemd is an abomination of everything thar CRUX is. > > > > This is the reason why I love and use Crux :) > > Baptiste >
