rwpYes.  chkconfig originated with SGI IRIX.  And I have found it useful too.  Unfortunately it has been declared obsolete and removed. :-(01:01
pungentweaselare there any pages on the website I'm not seeing that explain anything about daedalus?  I assume it is a pre-release of the next version following sequential B,C,D.. naming. But I can't find much of anything about it, or about devuan's release schedules01:23
pungentweaselah, nevermind .. I finally found a description on this page. https://www.devuan.org/os/documentation/dev1fanboy/en/general-information.html01:25
golinuxpungentweasel: https://www.devuan.org/os/releases has info also.01:38
pungentweaselthanks, I missed that one01:49
xisopif i wanted to check support for a specific video card, where should i go for that info?01:50
gnarfacethe most up-to-date info is always in the help text associated with the driver module in the kernel source for whatever kernel version you're using01:52
gnarfacesomeone mentioned some other consolidation of that information somewhere but i don't remember it01:53
gnarfacethe kernel source will always be the most up-to-date01:53
xisopokay01:53
gnarfaceyou might try the linux-doc package too01:54
gnarfacewhich particular video card is it you're looking for?01:54
gnarfacehmm, the xorg website might have listings as well01:55
gnarfacesome of the projects like nouveau also have their own comprehensive feature listings01:58
gnarfacekernel.org might have something other than the contents of the linux-doc package not sure01:59
gnarfacei think nvidia keeps a list in their README.txt file02:01
xrogaantrying to install libatk1.0-dev, but I'm being injured by backports:02:11
xrogaanlibatk1.0-dev : Depends: libatk1.0-0 (= 2.36.0-2) but 2.38.0-1~bpo11+1 is to be installed02:11
xrogaanI don't understand02:12
gnarfacelooks like you need the libatk dev package from backports as well, because you already got the libatk from backports02:12
xrogaanaah02:12
xrogaanI'm a dummy02:13
xrogaantrying to create my own backports02:29
xrogaancan't get the sources of mangohud02:29
xrogaanWhen using 'apt source mangohud/testing', it errors out with E: Can not find version '0.6.1-1' of package 'mangohud'02:29
xrogaanbecause 0.6.1-1 is the stable version. testing is 0.6.802:30
xrogaanalready managed to backport goverlay. So I'm being confused.02:30
xrogaanoh, it's not in main02:31
gnarfacexisop: which video card?02:35
xrogaannope, not it.02:38
xrogaanok, had to specify the version itself.02:44
onefangHmmm, Marking runit-helper for removal wants to remove irqbalance, openssh-server, and tor.  Think I'll keep it.04:19
u-amarsh04glad that https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1023525 has been closed by mozc (2.28.4715.102+dfsg-2.1) unstable;08:06
u-amarsh04bug described as: "When using ibus-mozc in x11 sessions, the candidate window is empty."08:07
___usedWhat's the plan on fixing 3.0.17-xx vlc by upgrading to 3.0.18 in Beowulf? I see nothing gets backported? ref: https://www.videolan.org/security/sb-vlc3018.html?cve=title11:30
___usedAdditionally, on packages.debian.org, there is no mention of this cve in Buster vlc 3.0.17 compilation notes, in despite of the 3.0.17 Buster/Beowulf package being updated (minor) 2-3 days ago.11:31
___usedAre they addressing the exploit for 3.0.17 in a minor update (already happened?) or??!11:31
onefangAsk Debian, we don't fork VLC, so you get the exact same versions Debian does.11:34
___usedDo Devuan users get flamed on #debian ?12:59
TwistedFateHello13:29
pungentweaselanyone in here familiar with gnuinos?  the netinstall has a screen for software selection. one of the options is "console productivity", but I can't find any information about exactly what that installs.. that option is so vague16:24
pungentweaselnor can I find any source code where this option is defined16:29
golinuxpungentweasel: It is a collection of tools needed to work in console16:34
pungentweaselyes but I'm trying to find out WHAT tools that includes :P16:34
debdogpungentweasel: e.g. "aptitude show task-console-productivity"16:35
golinuxI don't know that I've ever seen a definitive list.16:35
debdoghttps://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=11021#p1102116:35
golinuxdebdog to the rescue!16:35
* debdog cheated16:35
golinuxI searched both ML and nada16:36
golinuxHaven't searched the logs of this channel though16:36
FatPhilaptitude is heavyweight, just use apt-cache show16:43
pungentweaselthanks golinux!16:46
pungentweaseler16:46
pungentweaseldebdog,16:46
golinuxOme comments from a  search in the logs of this channel:16:49
golinuxremoving console productivity nuked dns16:49
golinuxconsole productivity seems to be everything and the kitchen sink. Stuff like mc, gpm, links, what not16:49
golinuxhttp://reisenweber.net/irclogs/libera/_devuan/16:49
pungentweaseland a package called fbi... lol16:50
* pungentweasel squints suspiciously16:50
golinuxHave fun! A complete list may be in there somewhere . . .16:50
pungentweaselirc logs are helpful thank you golinux16:53
golinuxdebdog posted a complete list on the forum a few lines above16:54
golinuxhttps://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=11021#p1102116:54
pungentweaselyep I looked at it16:54
golinuxhttps://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/policy-query.html?c=package&q=task-console-productivity&x=submit16:55
golinuxFound it once I learned exactly what to search for16:56
* golinux needs food . . .16:56
pungentweaselyep, I'm there looking too.. it would be nice if the installer had a help page to better describe the software options16:59
pungentweaseleven the "web server" option on the installer could use some clarification, since the user doesn't know which web server software is being installed, which is rather important to know17:00
golinuxHow about you write one and post it to the forum. I can sticky it. :D17:14
golinuxWe can probably find other places to post it also17:15
golinuxDon't know how much room there is in the iso to add that info there17:16
golinuxWe'll figure it out . . .17:17
* golinux goes back to the kitchen . . .17:17
pungentweaselI could use a hand with gnuinos again.. I need to install golang-go 1.19, but all that is available is 1.15.  v1.19 is in devuan chimaera-backports repo, but gnuinos webpage says that gnuinos repositories should not be mixed with other apt repos including devuan, so I don't want to add backports to my sources.list ... how can I proceed?20:09
golinuxpungentweasel: Look for aitor20:27
golinuxHe hasn't been here in a while though - 2022-09-0620:29
golinuxYou could contact him via the DNG mail list if no one answers your question.20:30
pungentweaselthanks.  I'm just poking around in a vm trying to see if it's a workable option for me, so it's not a huge deal20:32
pungentweaselI got it .... i added only the chimaera-backports repo to my sources.list since gnuinos doesn't provide that one (so I don't suspect there to be a conflict) .. then "apt install -t chimaera-backports golang-go" .. afterwards I can remove those from my sources.  this let me install the package20:37
___usedre: vlc and cve / bug in vnc plugin: on #debian I was told to update sources.list -- where there seem to be some missing things in devuan vs debian. I do not quite know how to apply this to the devuan repos which are in my sources.list -- ref: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2022-4132520:49
___usedNote bullseye is on 3.0.17.4-0+deb11u1 (which is also on my Beowulf) -- but 'bullseye (security) 3.0.18-0+deb11u1' is not available on devuan beowulf security20:50
___usedPerhaps the mirroring of debian security got stuck on that item?20:50
___usedMy sources.list has, among others:20:51
___useddeb http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf-security main contrib non-free20:51
___useddeb http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf-backports main contrib non-free20:52
___usedimo the 3.0.18+* should be there, but it is not.20:52
___usedAnyone?20:52
___usedDo we have an 'Index of releases' somewhere on devuan.org? I can't find anything like that. Similar to the one here: https://www.debian.org/releases/20:54
golinuxhttps://www.devuan.org/os/releases20:57
___usedemergency fix for 3.0.17* : sudo mv /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/vlc/plugins/access/libvnc_plugin.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/vlc/plugins/access/libvnc_plugin.so.moved21:01
___usedcaution: not audited -- I hope it works21:01
___usedHmm someone providing Devuan (too) based commercial ? releases https://sourceforge.net/projects/ufficiozero/21:35
bb|hcb___used: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/vlc22:36
bb|hcbAs you can see above, there is only  3.0.17.4-0+deb10u2  for buster/beowulf; as per Debian's policies, such problems are preferrably patched without introducing a new version. It is strange how they allowed a version bump for bullseye/chimaera22:41
bb|hcbIn other words, what you see there, that will come in Devuan too...22:44
_ds_A new upstream version which fixes only security bugs (relative to what's in the target release) might be allowed in.22:46
_ds_Similarly if the version in that release is difficult/impossible to patch to fix the security problems.22:48
_ds_(i.e. unsupported upstream, patches depend on other patches not for security issues)22:48
___usedI dropped the ball in the (devuan) court. I hope the maintainers will react when they have time.22:53
bb|hcb_ds_: Yes right, the strange part is that old one got patched for buster and new version came in bullseye (I didn't verify that though)23:05
bb|hcb___used: This only depends on Debian, vlc is not forked - whatever happens in Debian, the same will be in Devuan with a short delay (20-30 minutes)23:06
bb|hcbDid you check if 3.0.17.4-0+deb10u2 has the scurity problem patched?23:08
___usedvideolan/vlc says no, but https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2022-41325 says fixed (buster security)23:13
___usedvideolan/vlc website ^23:15
___usedSo apparently it is fixed "silently" ?!23:15
___usedI am on vlc 3.0.17.4-0+deb10u2 indeed here23:16
___usedSorry for the hubbub but it was not clear 3.0.17 had the fix until a few hours ago when that url (security-tracker) was given to me on #debian23:16
