Thank you. I believe you'll make it perfect soon :)
Yesterday I thought to install and try GDM but quit.. Wondering Slim also :)

It's not perfect because some services are started several times but LightDM runs and the exit dialogue works.
I have a better fix now: just edit
/etc/runit/2 and change "/etc/rc2.d" to "/etc/rc5.d".
This command will change the file:
Code: Select all
sudo sed -i -e 's/rc2/rc5/' /etc/runit/2
Then reboot to test.

... Not tested yet, but one thing I especially like into sysvinit is: sysv-rc-conf , does an equivalent exist too for runit ?

Yes:
:-)
But note that the stock runit package only runs services symlinked to /etc/rc2.d (runlevel 2) because in Debian runlevels 2-5 are identical. MX reserves runlevel 5 for the graphical desktop and their LightDM package only symlikns the init script to /etc/rc5.d, which is why it won't run OOTB.

That's It !!!
Did it manually: "Edit as Root", saved, Rebooted and also tested screen-lock, then suspend with screen-lock...
All Fine ! That simple :D
Thank you so much.
( Maybe MX Team consider an MX-runit version -at least, non-official- :) )

Where is the ISO?!?
Seriously, someone has to post it, later, when you guys sort everything out, for people like me, that have two left hands...
I hope I can at some point end up with having antiX with runit and Xfce, yay!
Btw, since Void Linux uses Runit exclusively, they probably have some other solutions it they may be needed...

Slim always worked well for me under Gentoo with OpenRC.
But I see ya’ll found a fix for LightDM possibly already.

64-bit (amd64) image here:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Y9Y_Q ... NkgrGBdNes
sha512sum:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1rEoJ1 ... M4RtLeDxfw
Image integrity is crucial so please remember to check by placing the sha512sum file and the ISO image in the same working directory and then running
Code: Select all
sha512sum -c MX-19_runit.iso.sha512
Expected output:
The image has a slightly different fix: LightDM's init script is now enabled for runlevels 2-5 rather than just runlevel 5; /etc/runit/2 is not modified.
