gnarfacerapha: i just meant when i did "apt-cache search ..." for it02:04
gnarfacebtw anyone notice something seems to be wrong with pkginfo.devuan.org ?02:14
fluffywolf502 Bad Gateway, it seems.02:16
fluffywolfI'm tempted to say someone mentioned something about a server migration, but I think that was a different server...02:16
rrqta. pkginfo up again02:22
gnarfacestill seems down from here02:24
rrqhmm dns problem outbound from that server02:36
rrqapparently it gets deb.devuan.org resolved to 2001:4190:801c:1::150 and that host just hangs02:38
rrqwonder why it's dns lookup doesn't RR02:40
rrqdoes wget (now) sort the dns response?02:42
gnarfaceno02:44
rrqmmm seems to .. it consistently wants 2001:4190:801c:1::150 for deb.devuan.org02:45
gnarfacehmm, not seeing that behavior from here02:46
rrqyou have ipv6? try: wget -O /dev/null http://deb.devuan.org/merged02:46
gnarfacei'm getting 54.36.142.179 for pkginfo.devuan.org and the round-robin appears to be working for deb.devuan.org02:46
gnarface89.174.102.150, 125.228.189.120, 95.216.15.86...02:47
gnarfaceprobably have ipv6 disabled still02:47
gnarfacethat wget command works02:48
rrqfor ipv6 it consistly tries 2001:4190:801c:1::150 and that host accept the connection and then stays silent02:48
rrq... I'll try to add a -4 somehow02:49
rrqhmm atrace suggetst that wget gets IP in some order and the chosen is neither first nor last, but consistently chosen... and it is the "alphabetically" first. I'd say wget sorts them03:43

AlexLikeRockgnarface,04:52
AlexLikeRock can you help me ?04:52
gnarfaceAlexLikeRock: uh, theoretically but i'm too paranoid to click on strange links04:53
gnarfacedoh04:54
rrqgnarface: now I believe pkginfo is fixed (again:)05:00
gnarfacerrq: no luck here yet05:01
gnarfaceis it just not gonna work without ipv6 working at my end?05:01
gnarfaceor should it work on ipv4 only networks?05:01
rrqipv4 is fine05:02
rrqhmm doesn't hang now05:02
gnarfacenslookup is showing me 54.36.142.179 and 2001:41d0:8:732b::3624:8eb3 for ip addresses on pkginfo.devuan.org05:02
rrqyes that's correct05:03
gnarfacewget does show it attempting to fetch from the ipv4 one, but it just hangs like firefox05:04
rrqcan't do whois on you .. ("rate limited" and my irssi does it all the time apparently)05:06
rrqok.. checking05:07
gnarfacejust do /who, it's only one line of output05:07
gnarfacefor some reason /whois is different on this server and dumps out 7 lines of text at once, never seen that before05:08
rrqok; your IP was used by some "baddie" recently...05:08
gnarfacedo you have any incident report or did it just get anonymously added to a blacklist? it's a static ip...05:09
rrqor it was me .. just before .. now it's opened05:09
rrqyeah; it was me...05:09
golinuxrrq: pkginfo not connecting here either on ipv405:10
gnarfacestill not working for me05:10
golinux504 Gateway Time-out05:10
golinuxIt is always very slow to connect.05:11
rrqpm me your IP .. I might have got a bit excited05:11
rrqhmm is it hanging now again ?05:12
gnarfacecan you confirm if my ip was flagged for the searches i was doing last night, or is it just unspecified activity?05:13
rrqno I added it before when trying to deal with pkginfo hanging05:13
gnarfaceoh, so by mistake you mean?05:14
gnarfacei just want to be clear on that because i've had problems with people libeling me in this fashion before; both by spoofing my IP and by spoofing my domain05:14
gnarfacei've also been a target of blanket network block bans for other ips nearby me that i don't own05:15
gnarfacebut this one is static and should have been only under my control for some years now05:15
rrqyes this was a mistake05:15
gnarfaceok, thanks for clearing that up05:15
gnarfacei have also had an issue with something using my tf2 server as both a target and a source for a ddos reflection attack (a known issue with tf2 servers) but that's a different ip from this one05:16
rrqright now pkginfo was kept busy by 93.158.90.12 crawling it05:17
gnarfacehmm, that's not me05:18
gnarfaceinternet vikings international05:18
gnarfaceoy vey05:18
brocashelmtesting a jessie live iso. archive.devuan.org is the path now, right? and, it's only the main jessie repo that still exists?05:20
brocashelmif so, does that mean -updates, -security, -proposed-updates, and -backports are removed or merged with the main repo?05:20
snorkJust in case it is of any help... I am at 216.154.45.215, pkginfo.devuan.org resolves to 54.36.142.179 for me, and I get a "504 Gateway Time-out" when trying to access https://pkginfo.devuan.org/ (it actually looks like it forwards to https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/policy-query.html first).05:23
rrqagain it should be better now; but someone has worked out how to ddos05:28
* snork cheers05:30
snorkThanks rrq it works for me now!05:30
gnarfacei'll check in a minute05:30
rrqI might have to turn off the Content listings05:31
gnarfaceis there a timer on the search script?05:32
gnarfacei mean, i know there is but what's it set at?05:32
brocashelmcare to answer my jessie question?05:32
gnarfacenot sure about that, i think they were just removed05:33
gnarfacejessie is past EOL05:33
gnarfacei think you're right about the archive domain though05:34
rrqyes, pkginfo processing has a few different timeouts, and requests are serialized, but gets stocked up.05:34
gnarfacerrq: pkginfo.devuan.org is coming up for me now05:35
brocashelmyes, i know it's eol; i'm just wondering if that's the only repo around and if the other repos were either merged with it or deleted05:36
brocashelmjust checking it out for historical reasons :)05:37
gnarfacehmm, i think i'm still seeing jessie under deb.devuan.org05:37
gnarfaceoh, with an expired InRelease file though05:38
rrqyes jessie is at archive.devuan.org05:38
gnarfacedo you know if that also has ""-updates and ""-security?05:39
gnarfaceor were they just dropped?05:39
rrqthose are all dropped; a single repo line05:39
gnarfacebut the contents of them were dropped too, right? not merged?05:40
rrqI think it all went into the single repo05:40
gnarfacehmm, brocashelm worth checking if they're merged05:41
gnarfacei'd like to know for sure05:41
rrqarchive.debian.org/debian/dists features a jessie-backports though, which then is not available on archive.devuan.org05:42
brocashelmah, those were merged? if so, i'll have a look05:43
gnarfacei thought they were merely dropped but i could be wrong05:46
rrqmy memory is that the primary repo got updated with the then most recent of everything when archived05:49
rrqat least any devuan packages; not sure about debian05:49
brocashelmkernel for jessie is still showing 3.16+63+deb8u2; not seeing any backports there05:52
brocashelm^ after running apt update05:52
brocashelmsince backported packages must have bpo added to them05:53
rrqdebian's jessie-backports seems o have 4.9.88-1+deb9u1~bpo8+105:55
rrqyou'd have to use that repo line, and careful pinning05:55
brocashelmi'm going to try that05:56
brocashelmand yeah, i do see one negative pinning against systemd-sysv05:57
brocashelmonly thing is the gpg key has expired. wonder if there is another way to access?06:16
brocashelmdidn't know there was such a thing as backports-sloppy06:17
rrqmaybe "faketime" can handle it?06:23
brocashelmrrq: i will try this again later and update you and gnarface on the status07:45
Guest82hello. is there any way to make a full backup of my system and to reload it to a clean install?12:16
brocashelmguest82: there are several methods that i know of for full system backups12:19
brocashelmrsync is a common way to do it, but you could also use a partition program like gparted to copy and paste the original data on another drive12:20
brocashelmtimeshift automatically runs hourly/daily/weekly/monthly cron jobs to create system images and store them wherever you told it to12:20
brocashelmbackintime is good for backing up your home folder using rsync12:21
brocashelmalso recommendeded is clonezilla12:23
brocashelmthose should all be available in the repos12:23
Guest82many thanks. i`ll check them out.12:23
onefangThough "reload it to aclean install" implies Guest82 only wants the non system bits to be backed up, which might be tricky if there's /etc changes they want to keep, and other things in the usual system directories.12:24
brocashelmetckeeper, maybe?12:28
Guest82no, i`d like to migrate system settings as well. sry, i was unclear about that12:29
Guest82I guess Timeshift will do it12:29
onefangetckeeper is good.12:30
brocashelmyour /etc is usually safe to restore as it was, with a few changes here and there (like fstab, grub, and apt sources/preferences/configs)12:31
Guest82i see12:34
brocashelmare you just reinstalling chimaera/stable? or two different versions?12:36
Guest82i made some mistakes in /etc folder and I`d like to revert it back to its original state. maybe there`s an easier way to do that?12:40
onefangThat's the sort of thing etckeeper is good for.12:40
onefangIt wraps /etc in a git resository, and makes sure it's updated automatically when you do apt things to insert / delete / update packages, and also can be configured to not let apt change things if there's uncomitted changes you need to commit manually.12:42
onefangSo if you make a mistake, you can use normal git commands to roll it back.12:42
onefangBut it can't do that sort of thing if you didn't have it installed before the mistake.12:43
Guest82and what if there isn`t any backups yet<12:43
Guest82yeah.. that`s the problem12:43
onefangWell now you know for next time.12:43
brrmI installed Chimaera using the desktop-live ISO. But somehow I have not been asked which init system I want to use. How can I install OpenRC?21:53
fsmithredbrrm, the live isos just install what's running on the iso. The installer isos give you a choice. If you have already installed the system, just install openrc and follow the instructions.21:55
brrmInstaller ISO is '*_-desktop.iso'?21:56
fsmithredapt update && apt install openrc21:56
fsmithreddesktop.iso not desktop-live.iso?21:57
fsmithredlive isos have "live" in the file name.21:57
brrmok, I see.21:58
brrmthank you21:59
fsmithredinstaller isos use the debian(devuan)-installer21:59
fsmithredand should ask you which init system to use.21:59
fsmithredmaybe it only asks in expert mode. I'm not sure.22:00
fsmithredanyway, it's easy to change after the install.22:00
brrmYes, but as I will install devuan to 9 Laptops I rather start from scratch22:01
fsmithredmight be worth it to do the automated install, so you don't have to answer all the questions a bunch of times.22:04
brrmwhere can I find information about automated install?22:08
fsmithredprobably debian wiki22:10
fsmithredhttps://wiki.debian.org/AutomatedInstallation https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Preseed22:12
fsmithredtry those two22:12
fsmithredanother way to do it is to make your own live iso with whatever software and configs you want and then installing that nine times.22:13
fsmithredwell, maybe eight times. First one gets done to make the snapshot iso.22:13
