This page contains a list of Qt based applications/programs.  
[https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/OpenRC OpenRC] is a dependency based [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Init init] system maintained by the Gentoo developers, that works with the system provided init program, normally [http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/sysvinit sysvinit]. It is not a replacement for sysvinit.
If possible the Qt5 version is linked.  


All Qt4 based programs must be clearly labeled!
It is an alternative to [http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/ systemd] for users that like more control over their system, and do not want all the features that systemd provides and automatically activates.


== Installation ==


Note: if "QtDesktop" enlisted, the package is part of QtDesktop repository: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/QtDesktop/
OpenRC is available from the the Manjaro repositories. It can be installed as:


sudo pacman -S openrc-base


__TOC__
The output of the above command looks like the following:


$ sudo pacman -S openrc-base

== Using Consolekit (deprecated) ==
 
{{Warning | Consolekit has been depricated in Manjaro in favour of [https://forum.manjaro.org/t/switch-from-consolekit-to-elogind/19412 elogind]}}
 
 
Additionally, if not already done, [https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/ConsoleKit consolekit] can be installed to perform root actions like shutting down or restarting system as non-root user from your Desktop Environment.
 
Consolekit can be installed in the following way:
 
sudo pacman -S consolekit-openrc polkit-consolekit cgmanager-openrc
 
The output looks like the following:
 
$ sudo pacman -S consolekit-openrc polkit-consolekit cgmanager-openrc

Net Upgrade Size:      2.84 MiB
:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n]
 
After installing it can be enabled with {{ic|'''sudo rc-update add consolekit'''}} and would be activated after a reboot.
To check that consolekit is running and a ck-session was started, the following command can be used:
ck-list-sessions
 
The output looks like the following:
 
Session1:
unix-user = '1000'
realname = 'Aaditya Bagga'
seat = 'Seat1'
session-type = ''
active = TRUE
x11-display = ':0'
x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
display-device = ''
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2014-06-15T13:29:58.652929Z'
login-session-id = ''
 
If you are not getting any output, then maybe a ck-session is not being started by your display manager.
 
To start a ck-session and X session from the command line following syntax could be used:
 
ck-launch-session <session-name>
 
For example,
 
ck-launch-session startxfce4
 
=== Some gotcha's ===
 
Display managers that are known to work with consolekit are '''lightdm''', '''lxdm''' (via [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lxdm-consolekit/ lxdm-consolekit]), '''kdm''' (via [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kdebase-workspace-consolekit/ kdebase-workspace-consolekit]), and '''mdm''' (via [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mdm-nosystemd/ mdm-nosystemd]). Have a look at the [[Openrc#Display_Manager | Display Manager]] section for more info.
 
If you start a graphical session from the command line, [http://bbs.archbang.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1394#p1394 this forum post] may be of some help.
 
If you use Openbox or another Window Manager along with [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Oblogout oblogout], then [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/oblogout-consolekit/ oblogout-consolekit] from the AUR can be used for having a graphical logout interface.
 
== Replacing systemd with eudev ==
 
With OpenRC being used as init system, the role of systemd is reduced to that of a [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Udev udev] provider, and for compatibility reasons.
 
[http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/eudev/ eudev], developed by the Gentoo folks, can be used as replacement. Note that removing systemd could cause some incompatibilities with existing software.
 
The steps to install eudev are as follows:
 
sudo pacman -S eudev eudev-systemdcompat
 
The output looks like the following:
 
$ sudo pacman -S eudev eudev-systemdcompat
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
:: eudev and libsystemd are in conflict (libgudev-1.0.so). Remove libsystemd? [y/N] y
:: eudev-systemdcompat and systemd are in conflict. Remove systemd? [y/N] y
warning: dependency cycle detected:
warning: eudev-systemdcompat will be installed before its eudev dependency

Total Download Size:    0.95 MiB
Total Installed Size:    7.09 MiB
Net Upgrade Size:      -18.78 MiB
:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n]
 
After the above steps systemd would be uninstalled and replaced by eudev and its counterparts.
 
=== Note ===
 
''eudev-systemdcompat'' has been superseded by ''eudev-systemd'' and ''libeudev-systemd'' [https://forum.manjaro.org/t/update-troubles/9046 (link)].
 
== Troubleshooting ==
 
=== Boot logs ===
 
The boot logs for OpenRC are stored in ''/var/log/rc.log''
 
=== Get warning at shutdown ===
 
If at shutdown there is a message like:
 
WARNING: /usr/lib/rc/cache is not writable!
 
Then this directory can be created as:
 
sudo mkdir /usr/lib/rc/cache
 
=== Error about /etc/sysctl.conf not found ===
 
It can be created with:
 
sudo touch /etc/sysctl.conf
 
=== Enable Swap (for GPT partitions) ===
 
If you were using systemd on a GPT partitioned hard disk, then you may need to enable swap via ''/etc/fstab''. This is so because systemd handled swap automatically on GPT partitions, and gave error if it was mounted via fstab.
 
I added the following entry to my ''/etc/fstab''
 
# /dev/sda10
UUID=0c3e9434-bc5c-461c-a5e4-4e9fe5f9a149 swap swap sw 0 0
 
=== Using tmpfs ===
 
systemd used to set a ''tmpfs'' by default; to set it manually via ''/etc/fstab'', the following lines can be added:
 
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs  nodev,nosuid          0  0
 
See the [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fstab#tmpfs Arch Wiki] for more details.
 
=== Module auto-loading ===
 
For OpenRC, the '''modules to be loaded at boot''' are specified in ''/etc/conf.d/modules'' rather than being present as individual files in ''/etc/modules-load.d''
 
The required modules can be manually moved over.
An example ''/etc/conf.d/modules'' file looks like the following:
 
# You should consult your kernel documentation and configuration
# for a list of modules and their options.
modules="vboxdrv"
 
=== Setting hostname ===
 
If your hostname is being displayed as '''localhost''' even if there a different hostname in ''/etc/hostname'', then you probably need to change your hostname in ''/etc/conf.d/hostname''
 
=== Setting keymap ===
 
The keymap for the console can be set via editing {{ic|/etc/conf.d/keymaps}}.
 
For X11 (graphical part of the system), it can be set via {{ic|/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-keyboard.conf}}
 
For more information have a look at the [http://wiki.gentoo.org/index.php?title=Keyboard_layout_switching Gentoo wiki] (with the difference that in Arch/Manjaro the keymaps are stored in ''/usr/share/kbd/keymaps'' [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Keymap]).
 
=== Setting Hardware clock ===
 
Can be done by editing {{ic|/etc/conf.d/hwclock}}
 
=== Shutting down / rebooting ===
 
To shutdown the system, the {{ic|'''poweroff'''}} command can be used.
 
Similarly to reboot, the {{ic|'''reboot'''}} command can be used.
 
=== X does not start from a virtual terminal ===
 
With Xorg-1.16, Arch Linux decided to make X rootless using systemd-logind [https://www.archlinux.org/news/xorg-server-116-is-now-available/].
This means that using {{ic|startx}} from a virtual terminal will possibly not work for users of OpenRC init system.
 
The workaround is to create a file {{ic|/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config}} with the contents:
 
# Xorg.wrap configuation file
needs_root_rights = yes
 
Reference: [https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1441150#p1441150 Arch forum]
 
=== Input devices not working ===
 
With ''eudev-3.0'', a new '''input''' group was introduced; you could try adding your user to it.
 
sudo gpasswd -a <user> input
 
Reference: https://github.com/gentoo/eudev/issues/107
 
=== MySQL service not working ===
 
Have a look here: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/mariadb-daemon-dont-start-in-openrc/20356
 
=== Pulseaudio does not start / work ===
 
See: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/pulseaudio-and-openrc/5881/1
 
=== Ctrl + Alt + Backspace causes problems with some display managers ===
 
Have a look here: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/ctrl-alt-backspace-doesnt-log-out-zaps-xorg-openrc
 
=== Httpd (Apache) service status says crashed ===
 
If the {{ic|httpd}} process is running but {{ic|rc-status}} shows the service as crashed, try editing ''/etc/init.d/httpd'' and remove the {{ic|start-stop-daemon}} call when starting the service:
 
  # sed 's|start-stop-daemon --start -- ${APACHE2} ${APACHE2_OPTS} -k start|${APACHE2} ${APACHE2_OPTS} -k start|' -i /etc/init.d/httpd

=== Unable to build ISO using manjaro-tools on OpenRC ===
