Cant start scandir@ service

[ajhfsdh]

Whenever i try to enable the scandir@ service, for user services, it seems to fail at the setenv@ service with the following error: execl-toc: fatal: unable to create dir: @PATH_ENVIRONMENT@: Permission denied s6-rc: warning: unable to start service setenv@<username>: command exited 111 66-start: fatal: unable to start services selection I am pretty sure this is an error on my part, but I have used Obarun in the past and never saw this issue, so I am unsure how to solve it. I have tried deleting all trees, and rebuilding them, and tried 66-update, but nothing seems to solve this issue.

Thank you for the output. Have you installed the scandir-66serv package from my repo? If you followed the documentation to create your trees and enable basic services, you will have 3 trees: boot, default and runit. This is the setup I run and recommend. I choose the specific setup because it is simple, clean and tries to follow the voidlinux policy, having a single "runlevel" named default for the services. If you have that setup, you can enable and run the scandir@ service for you username in the current tree, the default tree.

I had installed everything like the documentation suggested. I ended up trying to reinstall Void with the install rather than through chroot, and this fixed the issue. I most likely messed something up in the chroot install, just not sure what.

Thank you for reporting back with a success :) Ι will have a much more streamlined process for user services soon - I hope... See here for some information.
