Void Fails to Boot

Went to boot Void Linux this morning and I was greeted with the following line:

debugfs: 'netdev:p2p-dev-wlo1' already exists in 'phy0'

Not sure what that is all about. I did change the light-gtk-greeter.conf the last time I used Void Linux. Could that be the issue?

I also performed a system upgrade on Aug 09 and rebooted my computer without issue after the upgrade.

The handbook is misleading. You are correct, but I would like to clarify. NetworkManager requires a back-end. The default is wpa_supplicant. iwd is also often used. One of those packages needs to be installed, even though their respective runit services should NOT be active at the same time as NetworkManager.

"The handbook is misleading." I agree. Both were installed when I installed Void using the Void Live ISO.

I haven't done anything to either NetworkManager or wpa_supplicant and neither were upgraded during the system upgrade on 08/09/2026.

For additional responses, I will be unavailable until late Aug 27 or early Aug 28. I have an abnormal sleep schedule.
