How to work on system doesn't use systemd?

[leslielg]

I'm using MX Linux KDE version, by default it boot without systemd, and this way is recommended by developers from MX team. Could you make joycond working on such system?

[DanielOgorchock]

All that should be needed is an init script for whatever init system MX Linux KDE uses. AboveGojira had posted an OpenRC init script in this issue: https://github.com/DanielOgorchock/joycond/issues/21

I guess we should start merging the scripts for the various init systems into the repo and have a cmake flag to select (or maybe automatically detect) which init system is in use at time of install.

IIRC the hid nintendo driver install also requires systemd, if it detects systemd absence, it will report an error.

[DanielOgorchock]

hid-nintendo doesn't care about which init system is in use. Do you have an example of the error output you can show me?

edit: or do you mean the aur dkms package?

[leslielg]

Here's the output when I try install hid-nintendo, that Chinese string means host closed: leslie@leslie-desktop ~/Games/dkms-hid-nintendo (master)$ sudo dkms install nintendo -v 2.0

hid-nintendo.ko: Running module version sanity check.

• Original module
  • No original module exists within this kernel
• Installation

depmod... System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate. Failed to connect to bus: 主机关闭

DKMS: install completed. leslie@leslie-desktop ~/Games/dkms-hid-nintendo (master)$

This is the only way I know to install hid-nintendo driver and it is introduced from https://joaorb64.github.io/2020/04/08/using-nintendo-switch-controllers-on-linux.html

Neither the driver nor the dkms installer seem to require systemd. There may be something misconfigured with your system in respect to dkms.

[parkerlreed]

It does report install succeeded. What happens if you try loading the module? The systemd error seems benign

[leslielg]

not tried yet, how to mannually set joycond start on boot in MX KDE system?

[Artturin]

you'd have to write a sysvinit service

Here is a script I adapted from the internet which runs well on my devuan You have to make it executable and copy to /etc/init.d

`#! /bin/sh
