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 initscripts package because apt bailed out

apt —fix-broken install got you a little closer, but the screenshot didn’t say they tried that

My 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?

[-] ozymandias117@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

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

[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago

How are you running apt then?

[-] ozymandias117@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

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

As long as you can run vim, gcc and make, it's not broken.
