Maybe because its still not a broken state? They could still add init files ig
(As the tester above) It is a broken state
It failed to install the
initscriptspackage because apt bailed outapt —fix-broken installgot you a little closer, but the screenshot didn’t say they tried thatMy bet is this worked when systemd was first introduced, but since there’s not much use for it now, and sysvinit is deprecated, it just doesn’t accidentally work anymore
I mean you still can use cli? So you can technically make an init file and boot?
You can’t - it’s just asking what runlevel to launch, and there are no files for any runlevel
You’d need to add init=/bin/sh through grub at that point
How are you running apt then?
I didn’t after breaking it and rebooting
I restored the snapshot from before breaking the system and tried to see what would happen if I didn’t just reboot after apt bailed out
Oh okay
As long as you can run
vim,gccandmake, it's not broken.
