I installed and tested the Eolie WebKit web browser on Void Linux today and it works better than Epiphany. It loads websites very fast. You don't need to start it with the activated variable "WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE".
Thank you for the tip... It indeed works much better than Epihany! Have you found a way to import bookmarks into it? There seemed to be only the options 'Chrome' and 'Chromium', which are not present.
For some reason Eolie did not appear in the 'Internet' menu but I had to start it from terminal. Is that normal for it....?
How do you manage those variables in Eolie? The usual 'about:config' did not work with it.

I successfully added some bookmarks but I didn't try to import them.

Yes, it's normal. I created a launcher on the desktop.

I don't need to manage any variables in Eolie currently.

Date and Time with NTP
Install the package NTP:
Enable the service:
Code: Select all
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/ntpd /var/service
Reboot and check if the NTP service works:
Output:
run: ntpd: (pid 2296) 493497782s
It seems, it takes longer to get the correct date and time with NTP on Void Linux so all SSL certifcates aren't valid. I solved it with modifying the NTP runit script:
sudo vi /etc/sv/ntpd/run
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
# exec isc-ntpd -g -u ntpd:ntpd -n >/dev/null 2>&1
exec ntpdate pool.ntp.org

Timezone
The default system timezone can be set by linking the timezone file to
/etc/localtime:
For example for Berlin:
Code: Select all
sudo ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin /etc/localtime

Maybe glamor is the problem. Please rename the
libglamoregl.so to
libglamoregl.so.bak as root.
Code: Select all
mv /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so.bak
That didn't work, and then I found something that made me think my install was incomplete, so I reformatted /dev/sd8 and unarchived VOID in it again. But I had the same problem as the first time, so I added xorg.conf and tried again. Again, the same as before. So I followed the above suggestion from you.
Here is something really weird, that I don't understand at all.
Code: Select all
root@Fienix:/media/fienix/VOID# mv usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so.bak
root@Fienix:/media/fienix/VOID# ls usr/lib/xorg/modules/
drivers input libfb.so libshadow.so libvgahw.so
extensions libexa.so libfbdevhw.so libshadowfb.so libwfb.so
The
mv instruction seemed to work. No error message. As I understand
mv,
usr/lib/xorg/modules should now contain two versions of
libglamoregl, but in fact there are none! What gives?
I should give up on VOID. My mind is getting way too old for this.

You moved libglamoregl from your Void partition to your Fienix partition.

I told you! "My mind is getting way too old for this." I took me a long time to find that evil "/."
I put the libglamoregl.so.bak into VOID/usr/lib/xorg/modules and ran it again. A change from before in what comes up in the upper left corner of the dark screen. Instead of the line I reported earlier, now there are seven lines that appear for about a second at various time intervals. I doubt that they mean anything as far as my problem is concerned, but they say something like
Code: Select all
hub 2-1.4: new high-speed USB device number 4 using fsl-ehci
hub 2-1.4: New USB device found, idVendor=05c3, idProduct=0610, bcdDevice=6.55
hub 2-1.4: New USB device strings: mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
hub 2-1.4: Product: USB2.1 Hub
hub 2-1.4: Manufacturer: GenesysLogic
hub 2-1.4:1.0 USB hub found
hub 2-1.4:1.0 4 ports detected
The blue rectangle with
Out Of Range continues to flash screen center at intervals.
I think USB2 might be where I have the kernel, but not sure how to verify it from here.

Do you still use the following xorg.conf?
Code: Select all

Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
