Hi guys, I'm new to Obarun, but not to arch linux. Can somebody please link me to a cheat-sheet for s6 commands? I'm having trouble learning how to use s6, I'm not the most savvy user in the world and cannot find the information I'm looking for in a way I can understand. How do I enable and disable services? Thank you for your time. I can't seem to find a wiki explaining s6 in an efficient manner.
Well I can't even get a connection up... ip link + dhcpcd isn't working, just magical... Why isn't it connecting? -.- literally any other arch distro will work this way.
Hey karl94 Welcome to Obarun!
First off:

Obarun now uses a suite called 66-tools for service management on top of s6.
So to activate a service first install it and then enable/start it
sudo pacman -S sshd-66serv
sudo 66-enable -S sshd-66serv
That's all there is to it to enable and start on the fly. The service will become available right away. Bugs can happen, please don't hesitate to ask/write if something doesn't work as expected. Please see the official Wiki for detailed information on the 66 commands.

Now as for networking in specific. What is your setup? I for myself have a little script that automatically connects to an OPEN wireless home network with the following three simple commands that have absolutely nothing to do with Obarun:
sudo ip link set wlp4s0 up
sudo iw wlp4s0 connect SSID
sudo dhcpcd wlp4s0
This does not require ANY network service to be enabled. It just uses basic linux commands. But it's just how I do this situation. There are a thousand ways around this and networking in general is very case dependent.
Welcome karl94.

current available service can be found easily by two way
# pacman -Sl observice
or
# pacopts service
documentation can be found here: http://web.obarun.org/software/
Welcome Karl94, this document may be of help to get you going quickly https://sysdfree.wordpress.com/266 it is like a FAQ for 66, not complete yet.
https://wiki.obarun.org/doku.php?id=66 for in depth study of 66 (same material that is on that software link on the menu above the forum.

I use the net-tools pkg that has ifconfig to check on network problems. (# indicates you are root, not user).
# ifconfig
will tell you what interfaces are up. Let's say eth0, or enp034s whatever it is called, is your wire connection interface. # ifconfig eth0 up will make the interface active.
# ifconfig lo down
# ifconfig eth0 down
# ifconfig lo up
# ifconfig eth0 up
this sequence will reset everything (adjust to wlan, or funky interface names you have).
# dhcpcd eth0
will configure the interface and make a connection if possible
# 66-enable -t root -S dhcpcd
will enable the dhcpcd daemon and start the service
# 66-info -T root
will tell you what services are enabled, active, started and logged by 66 for the tree named root which should be active by default after any installation flavor you tried.

You do have a 2019-05 iso, right?
Or did you convert an arch installation to obarun?
