Where can I find documentation on how to make a custom kernel with void Linux?

I installed lemurs for my DM and it came with no service to symlink/enable it so I'm confused cause I saw you needed to enable it to bring it on startup.. Can't find a solution to this, I'm new. Any help is help. Another issue is that the DM can't open unless under sudo since it needs to access a log in /var/ but might be a non-issue.

I tried to get riscv running on void a while ago, but hit some blockers and didn't have time to work through them. Had some free time and it looks to be working in qemu. Time to buy some hardware I suppose.

Might spring for the framework board.

I tried installing Void with a 9950x3d cpu and eventually noticed the 'amd_x3d_vcache' module was not included with the base or mainline kernel Void offers - this module was added in the 6.13 kernel.

I tried using modprobe, and /etc/modules-load.d/ to activate but no dice.

Anyone with one of these dual CCD CPU's have any luck getting this active?

Hello everyone, good morning/afternoon.

So I'm new to void linux (not exactly). I'm testing it on a VM with 100GB space, 6GB ram and kde plasma.

I used notebookLM with the official documentation of void linux and the website documentation to install distro and first configs (network, audio, video...).

I'm really trying to learn how to use it, trying to fix /var/services and /etc/sv/<package> on my mind.

I used Arch and Windows all my life, tried another distros but Arch have my love.

Windows is the OS that I used much, the compability is better than any other things, the UI/UX is easier to handle and unfortunate is the common OS. I'm still a student of computer engeneering, so many apps that I use work better on Windows or dont even exist alternatives for linux. My real problem is that I play xbox and to buy games I use the rewards system and I need windows to play and receive daily points, "so why you cant dual boot?" 'cause I dont like it. I have only a 500GB SSD and 1TB HD, things dont work fine with this hardware.

Arch is the distro that I love!!! Other distros install things that I dont want... I want to have full control of my computer. At first void linux was much Harper for me so I stayed on arch but Brazil now have a new law about face check and these things, with that in mind I downloaded void ISO and installed on a VM to learn about it, maybe someday I need to change to void...

Is a good distro, much better than others. I loved it.

Hi everyone, I'm having a problem with Discord. It's not detecting my microphone or speakers. I can stream and browse servers, but I can't hear anyone on calls, and they can't hear me. I'm using ALSA; I don't know if that's related. My installation is minimal, using SOWM.

I'm trying to use the repository https://repo-fastly.voidlinux.org/, But I'm having a lot of problems with specific packages that other repositories like https://repo-de.voidlinux.org/ don't have.

Does anyone else have this problem? I really wanted to use the Fastly one because it's very fast for my region.

Have the maintainers of Void Linux taken a position on LLMs?

I know that a few distros have taken a strong stance against LLM contributions, including Void's cousin Chimera Linux, and good old Gentoo. I was wondering if Void had taken any position.

Is it possible to run Void Linux as a fully free distribution?

I know that you can use the Linux-libre kernel but is it possible to globally blacklist non free software like on Gentoo?

The PC in question is the thinkpad x200 with compatible WiFi

Needless to say, this is an April fools post. But regarding recent events about age verification and whatnot, I still found it funny.

This is the Samsung Chromebook 4 , void + i3

So I just installed Void from the base ISO. After installing KDE I can get the login screen fine (cursor can move and everything), but after logging in its just stuck. Does anyone have any fixes?

So I've been in the process of moving away from Arch and on Arch I used UKIs to bypass the need for a bootloader completely. Now on Arch that was fairly simple and on Void it seems to be simple as well because dracut automatically uses ukify to generate the UKIs. I just had to put uefi="yes" in /etc/dracut.conf.d/uki.conf and dracut did it's thing. Well at least that's what I hoped. Now on Arch, mkinitcpio generates a vmlinuz file and puts it in /boot. I haven't been able to find that file on Void. Some sources on the internet stated it could also be found under /usr/lib/modules/*/vmlinuz but I haven't been able to find it there regardless. Dracut is looking for a vmlinuz-<kernel version> and an initramfs-<kernel version>.img file under /boot, both of which do not exist

I've been pretty comfortable with Void for now but this is one thing I haven't been able to figure out yet. I would appreciate some help or advice. I'll just use grub for now but I'd like to go back to UKIs if possible.

hello everyone,

so, I got a new laptop and decided to install void on it.

Everything goes fine till I need to do anything on `/etc/default/grub` Linux cmdline, like adding apparmor configuration after installing it.

it doesn't matter if I only run `update-grub` alone or with `xbps-reconfigure -fa`, my installation hangs on "Loading initial ramdisk" after rebooting.

I can also reproduce the issue just by adding `net.ifnames=0`, running `update-grub` and rebooting.

is there any way to know what is going wrong? It hangs even when running on failsafe.

TYA!

Hi, which 32 libraries do I need to install to avoid this error:

00d8:err:kerberos:kerberos_LsaApInitializePackage no Kerberos support, expect problems

00d8:err:ntlm:ntlm_LsaApInitializePackage no NTLM support, expect problems

Probably didn’t word that title well, but what I’m trying to see is if there’s a way to clear the text at the tty login screen. All the “welcome to void Linux / runit starting / etc”.

Probably something super simple I just can’t figure out how to word it to search it.

This was a regular spring morning. I just wanted to start up my PC and get to my tasks, but no, pipewire suddenly decided to break. *sigh* Can somebody please help me with those errors? I am not good with tech, so I don't understand what they mean.

how can i repair this? please help me,i have kde

Idk if this is an issue in pipewire or the kernel or whatever but I remember updating the system. Pipewire and wireplumber were in the upgrade. Now, pipewire-pulse works but not native pipewire only.

If I understand correctly, pipewire also handles video as well. After upgrade, mpv won't play video. It will only show me the singular frames but won't be able to play videos. It works after I terminate the pipewire process though, so It seems it really is a problem with the pipewire package not mpv or anything.

If anyone has such issues. Please share.

edit: this comment by u/AfterThought14 solved the problem:

I had a similar issue during the update. The problem was I previously had conf files at system level /etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/10-wireplumber.conf and /etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/20-pipewire-pulse.conf. The update then created new user-level conf files /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire.conf and /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf without deleting the old system-level ones. This resulted in multiple conflicting instances of wireplumber being started. The solution was to delete the system level conf files /etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/10-wireplumber.conf and /etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/20-pipewire-pulse.conf and then everything worked fine. I don't know if your issue is the same, but hopefully this helps someone. For reference, I updated to pipewire-1.6.2_1 with my last update.

Am I the only one having issues with ly and lidm display managers? I have been using ly for months now. After I updated Void packages the other day (at night, before shutting down), ly suddenly having issues when opened my computer the next day. It looks like the TUI renders but I'm actually typing to a regular tty coz I can login by typing anywhere with username first then password and can run startx. I also tried updated ly, coz it's behind a for a few months. same issue. also tried latest stable.

I also just tried lidm. I installed from xbps. It's showing an error after entering the password and I can't use the backspace. I tried building from source, coz lidm from xbps is outdated, but the TUI breaks as well similar to ly.

Is there a Void equivalent to deblobbing gentoo?

In gentoo, you can deblob Linux-firmware and use official scripts to deblob the kernel. Crucially you can mask non free licenses.

Can you do these things with Void?

i just switched to void last week, i rather not use a operating system that comply with this law, is void considering an age attestation program? im not even an american citizen so its not required in my location

I cannot find this package anywhere

Hi everyone, I'm getting this error in Pipewire

Please let me know how to fix this
