Re: How to switch yocto INIT_MANAGER from systemd to sysvinit #dunfell


Zoran
 

Tried setting INIT_MANAGER = " sysvinit" in build/conf/local.conf
Is it INIT_MANAGER = " sysvinit" , or INIT_MANAGER = "sysvinit" (no
blank at the beginning)?

Thank you,
Zee

Thanks Robert and Raj!!

I am using Yocto 3.1 Dunfell release.

You are right about the .bbappend file. Changed the name in the overlay to new-ver.bbappend and no longer see the warning.

Tried setting INIT_MANAGER = " sysvinit" in build/conf/local.conf but looks like generated rootfs has init file pointing to init -> ../lib/systemd/systemd

Hello Yocto team:

I just started with yocto and would like to know the process for
switching the init manager from systemd to sysvinit.

I tried this options in config file
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_init_manager = "busybox"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_udev = "sysvinit"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_udev-utils = "sysvinit"
DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED = "sysvinit"
DEFAULT_DISTRO_FEATURES += " sysvinit"

I see a warning when building my machine:

No recipe for target:
/recipes-core/sysvinit/sysvinit_2.88dsf.bbappend
Please find out which layer is adding this bbappend you could use

bitbake-layers show-appends sysvinit

It seems recipe version is newer perhaps and the bbappend is still made
for older recipe, these things happen when you mix release branches for
different layers.


When I run this build on my target it still shows me systemd init manager...

Not sure if I am missing any options.
Could you please let me know if there are any pointers I can refer to?

Thanks,
Priya
