brocashelmshould we be worried about systemd-boot, systemd-boot-efi, systemd-bootchart, systemd-oomd, systemd-standalone-sysusers, systemd-standalone-tmpfiles?08:53
brocashelmthose don't have "devuan" in the versions08:54
brocashelmalso: https://linuxnews.de/systemd-254-deklariert-sysvinit-scripte-als-veraltet/08:54
brocashelm>Systemd 254 is already available in Arch-Testing, Debian and strangely in Devuan-Unstable, Gentoo and Fedora Rawhide, further distributions will follow. On October 2nd, 255 will follow as the next version.08:55
brocashelmanyone on ceres can confirm this?08:55
onefangThose ones you mentioned are "standalone tmpfiles binary for use in non-systemd systems" and similar.09:15
onefang"systemd" and several other systemd packages are marked as banned on unstable09:15
onefangSo I suspect they are getting confused by the few "systemd-*" packages we allow, though we don't have the "systemd" package itself.09:15
onefanghttps://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/policy-query.html?c=package&q=systemd*&x=submit agrees with me, but adds systemd-dev to ceres.  Which I suspect is anew thing we haven't banned yet, or doesn't need banning, sounds like thing needed for systemd tools development.09:23
masonSomething interesting to explore: Yesterday I learned that the Artix folks rebuild to lose the libsystemd0 dependencies. Haven't dug in yet, found a source repo, etc.16:29
schillingklausdoesn't artix use elogind?16:35
antranigvI finally had the time to write it down. I would like to thank you all for your help. https://weblog.antranigv.am/posts/2023/08/freebsd-jail-devuan-linux-openrc/16:37
bb|hcbmason: It is possible but will drastically increase the number of forked packages...16:37
masonbb|hcb: I feel like that's coming as it is.16:37
masonantranigv: Nice. Bailed on a fifo last time I tried it, a few months ago.16:37
masonantranigv: In your experience, does the Linuxulator cope with Chrome yet?16:38
antranigvmason it works just fine :) I use Chrome on Linux on FreeBSD to watch Netflix and other DRM content :D sometimes the audio craps out, but that seems to be a PulseAudio issue.16:39
al1r4dFYI: btw, you can grab new thunderbird 115 on debian repository.16:41
al1r4di wonder why devuan (unstable) still not provides thunderbird 11516:41
schillingklaussome people have invented seatd to do stuff that ismissing in consolekit2 but usually provided by elogind or systemd-logind. seatdis said to be more portable16:43
masonantranigv: cool16:44
schillingklausI wait until unstable becomes daidalos release until starting to wonder...16:44
bb|hcbal1r4d: That is from Debian experimental16:46
al1r4dbb|hcb, ya, ik16:46
al1r4dsorry i forget to write "debian experimental"16:47
bb|hcbIn Devuan there are two possible experimental repos - the Debian one and the Devuan one - these are not merged and can be used separately16:47
bb|hcb... or together16:48
schillingklausIsn't amprolla designed to avoid the uncontrolled mixing of repos?17:05
bb|hcbexperimental is an exception...17:07
bb|hcbNormally if you need to use something from experimental, you should know what you are doing...17:07
schillingklausI better avoid experimental stuff, at least system-wide.17:08
bb|hcbthe main purpose is to help rebuild soft with an updated shared lib that is not yet in the repos, or to test a new build without providing that to users...17:10
ecxodI changed from debian to devuan with a server and I get a funny failure when I want to restart apache2, can i ask the question here ?20:28
masonecxod: yes20:32
ecxodroot@176:~# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart20:32
ecxodRestarting Apache httpd web server: apache2 failed!20:32
ecxodThere are processes named 'apache2' running which do not match your pid file which are left untouched in the name of safety, Please review the situation by hand. ... (warning).20:32
ecxodI am not sure if it is not related to the suexec module20:33
masonecxod: I've never used the suexec module, but it'd be interesting to see what the lingering processes are and what user is running them.20:35
ecxodI use the suexec to run apache as user for each user on the machine20:35
ecxodI done a trick , I started apache without suexec, and then I added suexec, and now it works fine20:39
ecxodit looks like a suexec bug20:39
masonGood catch.20:39
ecxodi must file a bug to the apache team ..20:40
masonecxod: Thank you in advance for doing that and making the world a better place.20:40
ecxodbut, why is the apache2 not finding the pids ?20:40
ecxodthe pid system variable was empty20:41
ecxodecho ${APACHE_PID_FILE} was empty20:42
ecxodbut I could see the pid in the ps list20:42
ecxodcrazzy20:42
ecxodit is empty again20:44
ecxodroot@176:~# echo ${APACHE_PID_FILE}20:44
ecxodsorry to disturb you guys .. have a nice evening20:45
ecxodI need to file some bugs :))20:45
rwpI don't think the suexec module is the cure nor the problem.22:54
rwpI'll note that I have had problems with the default apache2 scripts now that they have been abandoned by the upstream for the systemd unit configs.22:54
rwpThe problem is the apachectl utility.  On at least one system I have needed to rewrite my own apachectl script in order to have correct functionality.22:55
rwpSo there is _something_ going on in that area.22:55
