-Since OpenRC is included by default and systemd is blacklisted by [[https://www.hyperbola.info/packages/?q=your-freedom|your-freedom]], one may get messages on migrating like: +<note important> Be aware that since the release of version 0.4 we do not recommend any kind of migration from another system based onto Arch GNU/Linux. Since Hyperbola has included many changes and therefore differences it would be better to install the system from scratch with all changes you wish.</note>

-<code bash> +
-run 'rc-update add cronie default' +
-run 'rc-update add haveged default' +

-Running these command(s) adds the service(s) to the specified runlevels. For example on running: +
- +
-<code bash> +
-# rc-update add cronie default +
-</code> +
- +
-The cronie service would be added to the default runlevel and would automatically be started at boot. +
- +
-cronie (for cron) and haveged (for entropy harvesting) are some common services that can be enabled. +
- +
-Also you need to install [[https://www.hyperbola.info/packages/?q=polkit|polkit]] to gain enough desktop privileges for operations like shutdown, mounting usb device: +
- +
-<code bash> +
-# pacman -S polkit +

-<note important> Currently, [[https://www.hyperbola.info/packages/?q=networkmanager|NetworkManager]] and any display manager such as [[https://www.hyperbola.info/packages/?q=gdm|GDM]] or [[https://www.hyperbola.info/packages/?q=lightdm|LightDM]] runs the elogind service in Hyperbola automatically, however if you will use the [[https://www.hyperbola.info/packages/?q=xorg-xinit|xinit program]] to start the [[https://www.hyperbola.info/packages/?q=xorg-server|X Window System server]] or [[https://www.hyperbola.info/packages/?q=weston|Weston]]/[[https://www.hyperbola.info/packages/?q=sway|Sway]] to start [[https://www.hyperbola.info/packages/?q=wayland|Wayland]] and use [[https://www.hyperbola.info/packages/?q=netifrc|netifrc]] instead of [[https://www.hyperbola.info/packages/?q=networkmanager|NetworkManager]], you need add the elogind service to a runlevel (eg. default) to be started at boot automatically.</note> +
- +
-<note important> For security reasons, we have plans to use [[https://www.hyperbola.info/todo/consolekit-migration/|ConsoleKit as elogind replacement]]. Since it requires a hard transition, it will be made for the next version, aka Milky Way v0.4. We will make an announcement when it is ready.</note>+
