This document contains a regularly replenishing list of warnings and cautions. Pay attention, don’t miss it out.
Main alsa channel after boot can be muted, adjust volume with alsamixer, and don’t forget to unmute channel (with M).
Volume settings don’t survive reboot. Add to your session script (e.g. .profile):
amixer sset Master unmute
amixer sset Master 100%
Logs doesn’t survive reboot.
iwctl passwords doesn’t survive reboot.
Any global state, actually, don’t survive reboot, system completely stateless by now, need to investigate proper solution for this.
No logrotate for logs in /var/run/, but, they also don’t survive reboot, so, this is not a real problem for now.
/ix/build folder trashed every 1000 seconds https://github.com/stal-ix/ix/blob/main/pkgs/bin/sched/builddir/ix.sh#L11, so, to debug build problems, do one of the following:
ACPI rules very approximate, actually, activated only on lid close/open.
Power management is very basic . For now, we’re running CPU at full speed, because linux governors are a mess.
/etc/services, despite being part of read-only realm, are currently writeable for runit.
/dev/protection is weak - https://github.com/stal-ix/ix/blob/main/pkgs/bin/mdevd/runit/scripts/bad.conf.
IX runtime are not safe enough - execution nodes have full access to /, and network isolation currently not really enforced.
Service supervisor is more like a stub than a real program - https://github.com/stal-ix/ix/blob/main/pkgs/bin/runsrv/srv.
