libera/#devuan-arm/ Tuesday, 2021-07-27

c0rneliusI honestly don't run Devuan as a daily and it was only added to the builder by request.00:00
LatrinaI see :)00:00
c0rneliusI'm not hung about systemd :)00:00
Latrinahonestly I am kinda over the systemd war these days00:01
c0rneliusWith that said I do test the imgs to make sure they work as well as the others, but thats as far as I go with it.00:01
Latrinathough I have used Gentoo with OpenRC for the past 6 years and I came to appreciate it00:01
c0rneliusI was more of CRUX guy myself and I do like Void alot which I believe uses runit.00:02
c0rneliusBut with that said, I'm old and lazy now and don't give a lot fucks. I just want stuff to work.00:03
LatrinaI never liked runit myself00:03
LatrinaI think it is the worst init system implementation by far00:03
LatrinaOpenRC suits me well00:03
c0rneliusIts different for sure.00:03
Latrinasysvinit should do too00:03
c0rneliusI like the old BSD style, which is what attracted me to CRUX.00:04
Latrinaoh same :)00:04
LatrinaI have used freebsd for about 10 years00:04
c0rneliusBut its all to much effort for me these days. Plus writing a quick systemd service file is super simples.00:04
Latrinacan't really call myself a freebsd user these days given that all I run on it is the NAS cluster00:05
c0rneliusHey its still BSD.00:05
Latrinabut back in the days I used to be on it big times00:05
c0rneliusMe too00:05
LatrinaI also like Solaris SMF00:05
c0rneliusI've played with it, but never got involved. Kinda like QNX.00:06
Latrinanever used that one00:06
Latrinabtw quick question. Does anyone know to what docker version the Devuan's 1.5-2 package refers to ?00:07
LatrinaI would think it isn't actually docker 1.5-2 as it is way too old..00:08
c0rneliusIf ur on beowulf its gonna be a pretty old versiob.00:08
c0rneliusversion*00:08
Latrinayeah I am On beowful00:09
Latrinafine, I will install the binaries00:10
c0rneliusI usually use Ubuntu for docker stuff.00:10
stiltrFrom packages.debian.org: docker (1.5-2) This is a transitional package for system tray docking application.00:10
stiltrI think you want docker.io00:11
c0rneliusYeap.00:11
c0rneliusBut will it work on Devuan out of the box?00:12
Latrinawouldn't that clash with systemd deps?00:12
c0rneliusSometimes projects provide inits as well as the systemd service, but I'm not sure about the docker.io package.00:13
c0rneliusFor example MotionEYE has inits available, they just aren't installed by default.00:14
Latrinahttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/moby/moby/master/contrib/init/sysvinit-redhat/docker00:14
Latrinawrong paste00:14
stiltrConsidering its popularity and the fact that devuan hasn't forked it, I'd guess it would work, but I don't know for certain.00:14
Latrinastiltr, will try the binaries first00:15
Latrinathanks though00:15
stiltrNo worries. Most of the devuan packages come straight from debian and they have a more convenient search page. haha00:17
Latrina:)00:21
Tenkawastiltr: you've been around awhile right?00:29
Tenkawa(to unix and such)00:30
stiltrA while. haha. Not as long as some, but more than others.00:30
Tenkawawere you around for NCR SVR4 Microchannel?00:31
Tenkawa(and AT&T)00:31
stiltrNah, that was a little before my time.00:32
Tenkawathat was during the X.25 days00:32
Tenkawaheheh00:32
Tenkawayeah.. I'm old00:32
stiltrI feel old, does that count?00:32
* Tenkawa notes he's sitting here with a broken collarbone and just recovered wrist00:33
Tenkawalol00:33
c0rneliusold man00:33
Tenkawaand barely even felt it00:33
stiltrOuch! That doesn't sound fun.00:33
Tenkawastiltr: sad part is… its not the first time I did it00:33
Tenkawalol00:33
Tenkawafortunately it was on my "bad" arm00:34
Tenkawaso I don't use it much anyway00:34
stiltrShoot! Well maybe you'll learn your lesson this time. lol00:35
Tenkawastiltr: doubtful00:35
Tenkawalol00:35
stiltrHaha00:35
c0rneliusYeah he won't00:35
Tenkawaespecially if you knew me00:35
TenkawaI was a former car racer, skateboarder, etc…. I never learn00:36
LatrinaI ended up installing docker from the docker.io debian repo00:36
Latrinait worked00:36
stiltrTenkawa: Haha, fair enough!00:36
stiltrNice!00:36
Tenkawabut hey…. I'm going to keep trying to learn00:36
Tenkawathats how I got into computers…. just by trying00:37
Tenkawagranted that was 40+ years ago00:37
stiltrYeah, same here. Though more like 20 for me. haha00:38
Tenkawafor anyone interested.. Full Dune trailer was released the other day00:39
stiltrOh cool.00:39
Tenkawawe may finally get something worth watching in Hollywood again00:39
Tenkawait was an amazing trailer00:40
* stiltr crosses fingers00:40
* Tenkawa is an original Dune fanatic even00:40
Tenkawamay not have been true to the books but it was still good00:41
c0rneliusI'm sure everyone will hate it like they did Blade Runner 2049 because of the run time.00:42
c0rneliusWhich also will cut down on prophet for the studio.00:43
TenkawaI like long movies00:43
c0rneliusNot saying I dislike them, but most people can't sit thru more than 90 minutes at most.00:44
Tenkawaoh and this is just part 1.. wow00:45
c0rneliusPlus longer movies mean less showting in the theater, which also hurts them.00:45
c0rneliusshowings*00:45
Tenkawaor called Dune: Part One00:45
c0rneliusoops profit* :)00:46
c0rneliusThe trailer did look good. Hopefully it does well.00:46
Tenkawayeah it looks amazing00:47
c0rneliusI read that James Gunn's new Suicide Squad movie is actually not garbage and is super gory.00:47
c0rneliusand the trailers for that was kinda garbage.00:48
TenkawaI heard that it ws=asnt bad00:48
Tenkawaer wasnt00:48
Tenkawac0rnelius: you said your n2+ is up and running atm right?00:49
c0rneliusIf its like Brightburn with I higher budget I'm sure its pretty good.00:49
c0rneliusYeah its running00:49
Tenkawais it busy  io atm or idling?00:50
c0rneliusidle00:50
Tenkawawanted to see if you could run a hdparm if it wasnt io busy00:50
Tenkawahdparm -t your emmc00:50
c0rneliusmmc or ssd?00:51
c0rneliusoh00:51
c0rneliusk00:51

Tenkawathe sd card thats in there00:58
Tenkawatime for a clone00:59
c0rneliusI haven't had a single hiccup since the patch revert on the kernel.00:59
Tenkawagood00:59
c0rneliusPuts my RK3399 to shame really :)00:59
c0rneliusAlthough, that old grrl is still solid as all hell.01:00
Tenkawaby specs majorly.. theres only one rk thats even close01:00
Tenkawaits that big one01:00
c0rneliusWhich SoC?01:01
Tenkawalet me look it up01:02
c0rneliusThere are a few revisions of the 3399. I'm running one of the first which is slower than the rest.01:02
c0rneliusIt's not slower by much, but yeah. It's not as speedy as the S922X thats for sure.01:03
Tenkawathe quartz64 one with the rk356801:04
Tenkawastill a lot to be developed for it but its a powerhouse01:04
c0rneliusI think thats the one they just talk about but have never released :)01:04
Tenkawano.. its out01:05
Tenkawa59.9901:05
Tenkawafor the lowest level one01:06
Tenkawahttps://pine64.com/product/quartz64-model-a-8gb-single-board-computer/ for the 8gb01:06
Tenkawabut like they say… good luck to you01:06
c0rneliusIt only has 4 cores01:07
Tenkawathat is 1/2 the fun though01:07
c0rneliushttps://gadgetversus.com/processor/rockchip-rk3399-vs-rockchip-rk3568/01:08
c0rneliusLooks like the latest 3399 still beats it in the pure horse power department.01:09
Tenkawaway lower io though01:10
Tenkawathe pcie bandwidth would destroy it01:10
Tenkawaat least with what I've seen on the cm401:11
c0rneliusWould need to real world test it for sure.01:11
c0rneliusBuy one :)01:11
Tenkawahaahaa01:12
TenkawaI'd still buy a Homeycomb LX2 first01:12
Tenkawaer Honeycomb01:13
tuxd3vTenkawa, advance for the Honeycomb :)02:08
tuxd3vbut I believe their support is still for older kernels :(02:08
Tenkawatuxd3v: I want one of those but I would rather Beagle just get their act together and get the BeagleV released02:09
Tenkawatuxd3v: older kernels isnt that big of a problem.. I was a kernel porter/developer.. I know resources there02:09
tuxd3vLatest machine I look, it has Baikal-M Cpu.. the problem is cortex a57@1.5Ghz02:11
tuxd3vif it was cortex a73@2Ghz I would by it..02:12
tuxd3veven tought I don't know were to get it from lol02:12
Tenkawathis one is a 16xa7202:13
Tenkawagranted its 750$USD02:13
tuxd3vits a 8 core: https://www.baikalelectronics.com/products/338/02:14
Tenkawa(the LX2)02:14
tuxd3vTenkawa, yeah that machine seems better is some respects also because it pack the double of cpus, their frequencies are also higher I believe02:14
tuxd3vbut Baikal M packs 12MB cache ;)02:15
Tenkawayeah and its a whole board.. not just the chip02:15
Tenkawathat cache wont do you that much good if you dont  pipeline code for it02:15
Tenkawaand most people's code isn't designed for it02:16
* Tenkawa starts up a 18 thread build of gcc-11 lol02:19
tuxd3v:)02:24
Tenkawagot my server running crosscompiles for things like this02:25
TenkawaI can let it run for 12-16 hours at a time+02:26
tuxd3vwhat is your machine? your laptop? :)02:38
tuxd3vyou have a crazy one :)02:38
tuxd3vpowerfull02:38
Tenkawatuxd3v: its a gaming machine02:40
Tenkawaso yeah designed to be02:40
TenkawaIt became a better server after I got a different machine so I just transitioned it02:41
tuxd3vI am still running a Xeon L5430, very old a 755 socket I believe :D03:06
tuxd3vbut the principal problem is Ram for me :(03:07
tuxd3vonly 4 GB03:07
tuxd3vI don't buy a computer since 2016 hehe03:07
tuxd3vin the work, I have company computers in the house I have 2 towers03:08
tuxd3vMy cat managed to damage my personal laptop..03:08
Tenkawa16gb avg on all my build servers03:09
Tenkawayeah I have to keep my cats away from my machines03:09
tuxd3vI still have a asus netbook, but last time I checked it doesn even power up03:09
tuxd3vlol03:09
Tenkawathey would do the same if I let them03:09
tuxd3vc0rnelius, found a good way to teach his own pets, I couldn't educate mine better03:10
tuxd3vmaybe I failed at it..03:10
Tenkawaour cats "teach03:10
Tenkawaer teach us03:10
tuxd3vright, agree :D03:10
Tenkawamy wife and I are trained well03:10
tuxd3vI feel he is always messing with things because he has no friend..03:11
Tenkawaours just like blinky lights and moving objects03:12
tuxd3vIt s alonely cat, and maybe because of that he is like a terror :D03:12
Tenkawawe have 303:12
tuxd3vyeah, mine too, likes to mess with my stuff03:12
tuxd3vsometimes he stole from me even my credit card or my keys of the house..03:13
tuxd3vits umbelivable..03:13
Tenkawaouch03:13
tuxd3vyeah a lot of times I find them behind the Sofa..03:13
tuxd3vI already found some "secret" places were he hides things from me :D03:14
Tenkawahaahaa03:15
Tenkawayeah I found spots where ours have dumped like 20 cat toys03:15
Tenkawa(more like lost)03:15
tuxd3vI never tought in getting 3, but I believe 2 I should have, because he cannot develop well only alone, and I can't substitute another cat..03:15
Tenkawawe had 5 at one time and usually have 403:16
tuxd3vyeah03:16
tuxd3vhow do you manage to feed them? and at night they do trouble03:16
Tenkawawe have feeder bowls for them and they are really good about it .03:17
tuxd3vmine is like as 23:30h seems that his spirit waks him up, and start running and screaming around, until 2/3 of the morning03:17
Tenkawafeed them twice a day and they do quite well03:17
tuxd3vTenkawa, that is a thing that I never brought and I feel I should03:18
Tenkawawe've had cats over 20 years now so a lot of practice03:18
Tenkawaactually 26 years03:19
Tenkawanow that I think about it03:19
Tenkawalonger than I thought03:19
c0rneliusJesus. What is up with people wanting grub on a Pi?03:21
Tenkawac0rnelius: uggh that is just wrong03:22
Tenkawagrub on a pc is a pain enough03:22
c0rneliusThe famous SUSE did it reply and not considering the fact those people get paid to make that shit work.03:23
c0rneliusAnd last time I checked they don't support a multi kernel system. It's just grub booting one kernel.03:23
tuxd3vc0rnelius, indeed I also saw that, and its not the first time they charge :D03:24
Tenkawayeah03:24
c0rneliustuxd3v: Yeah I'm done with that conversation :)03:25
Tenkawac0rnelius: forum or online?03:26
c0rneliusThe forum03:26
tuxd3vpeople are still insisting on it, you will and up with 2 bootloader, to boot only a system03:26
Tenkawaoh ok03:26
c0rneliusI understand getting a multi boot on different boot mediums, but wanting multi kernel support on one? Thats some x86 shit, that isn't gonna fly on a pi with out a lot of effort I thinks.03:28
tuxd3vc0rnelius, I agree with you03:28
tuxd3vI believe its possible to have a uboot booting menu, but a lot of devices don't have hdmi enable at boot time, so I don't how we could handle it for all devices..03:30
tuxd3vdon't know*03:31
c0rneliusyeah rk3328's uboot doesn't support hdmi. not in mainline anyway.03:31
tuxd3vbut that question come from time to time..03:31
tuxd3vyeah03:31
c0rneliusThe problem with the Pi's is all the stages of the bootloader.03:32
c0rneliusWhich complicates the whole process.03:32
c0rneliusNot to mention its still stuck on a fat partition for boot.03:32
c0rneliusAlso some kernel revisions aren't gonna support other dtb files. So where does one put the file and how to tell grub use this one?03:33
c0rneliusBe some over the top scripting involved in this.03:34
c0rneliusPlus its an ARM SBC... It's not a desktop computer :)03:35
c0rneliusI should go complain to Roku and ask for multi boot on my TV box.03:37
tuxd3vI agree with everything :)03:37
tuxd3vpeople doesn't really think, I believe they are used to something and they believe it possible from the beginning, and its not like that..03:40
tuxd3vsystems have some constraints..03:40
c0rneliusUnfortunately.03:40
tuxd3vyeah03:40
tuxd3vthey can compile a new kernel, and adjust the system to boot the new one, if they want, its all what we need..03:42
Tenkawacheers all..03:48
c0rneliusIt really comes down to, it isn't an x86 computer. These devices depend on the dtb file which isn't always the same between revisions. So one would need to be specific of its location and or name for that kernel.03:58
c0rneliusAnd then the Pi boot loader looks for specific kernel names on top of that. Unless you tell it specific this is the kernel I want it to boot ur out of luck, but unfortunately you can't define the dtb. So even if you tell it this kernel, how is it gonna know the dtb file?04:01
c0rneliusEssentially its not gonna work. Multi booting two different OSs would probs be easier than having two or more kernel options on one system.04:02
tuxd3vc0rnelius, agree with you05:20
c0rneliusI'm trying not to be a dick :)05:20
tuxd3vI don't think you are :)05:21
tuxd3vI agree with everything, there are a lot of restrictions, majority are not even imposed by us05:22
tuxd3vand in the PI the situation with its bootloader, its even worst situation..05:23
c0rneliusYeah its not easy to work with05:24
c0rneliusAs a matter of fact it complicates things05:25
c0rneliusWhich is why I suggested if he/she put in the work, share.05:25
c0rneliuswtf :)05:25
tuxd3vindeed is does complicate, but it was the way they went..05:25
tuxd3vagree with you :)05:25
c0rneliusthanx. I'll leave it alone. That person is pretty heated for some reason.05:26
tuxd3vwe are talking about very serious work, that could take very long time, without any guaranties, I agree with you05:27
c0rneliusFor sure. Thats way above my efforts as a contributor.05:27
c0rneliusTo be frank05:28
tuxd3vI also noticed that, maybe he has some other issues, and thought that it was the perfect place to put them out..05:28
c0rneliusIf someone threw me a bone that would be one thing.05:28
tuxd3vyeah people don't understand the work we do, some people just feel that they have the right to claim some feature out of nowehere that they think would be the perfect thing..05:30
c0rneliusI use to mod the xfce forum. I now remember why I stopped :)05:30
tuxd3vAnd I think that we have more serious things to be worried with..05:30
tuxd3v:)05:30
c0rneliusYeah people today. I don't know what happened?05:30
c0rneliusI don't care really. Ha05:31
c0rneliusI just shake my head a lot. With that being said I'm all up to being shown something I don't hence why I pushed for a contribution.05:31
tuxd3vyeah we have to let it go, one time I had a user that was asking for support on rpi1 for sata disk in usb05:33
c0rneliusI don't know*05:33
c0rneliusWell... thats just silly.05:33
tuxd3vhe was with a bad power supply... but the problem was trying to convince him of that.. always charging :D05:33
c0rneliussounds like the pi channel05:33
tuxd3vafter so many posts, he just come back, and asks me for sorry, because I was right and he was out of his way :D05:33
tuxd3vI said ok, everything fine. :)05:33
c0rneliusWell in the end, it is fine.05:34
tuxd3vyeah :)05:34
c0rneliusI get out of line sometimes. I think? I thinks we all do.05:34
c0rneliusWe aren't perfect beings. I know I'm not anyway.05:34
c0rneliusI try05:34
tuxd3vsometimes we all do, probably also due to personal reasons that end affecting us on other things..05:35
c0rneliusexactly05:36
c0rneliuspersonal life. what a shit show :)05:36
tuxd3vwe should avoid mixing waters, but I know that sometimes we just can't, because we are humans05:36
tuxd3vyeah :)05:36
c0rneliusWell sir, this is why I try and avoid interaction. People are weird.05:37
tuxd3vagree :D05:37
c0rneliusEven when I try to be helpful people are off I find.05:37
tuxd3vyes05:38
tuxd3v:)05:38
Latrinagood morning10:32
Latrinaso far I have been pretty impressed with devuan on the rpi4b10:32
LatrinaI guess I will roll it across the cluster this weekend10:32
adhocLatrina: what does your cluster look like?11:20
Latrinaadhoc, 5 rpi4b11:43
Latrinarunning raspian + kubernetes11:43
adhocwhat kinda of cluster are you building ?11:43
adhocah, k8s11:43
Latrinak3s actually11:43
adhocjust starting to get my gitlab runners setup11:43
adhocyeah, use that at work11:43
Latrinathe OS boots from PXE and NFS11:45
adhocneat11:45
adhocI was messing with flatcar on x86-64, as there is also an arm64 version11:45
Latrinanever heard of that11:46
adhocflatcar is fedora based11:46
LatrinaI really wanted to switch from a 32bit to a 64bit arm distro11:46
adhocwith all the pain and suffering that systemd brings11:46
Latrinathough non of the raspios 64bit worked for me11:46
Latrinathan I remembered the Devuan project and here I am :)11:47
adhocLatrina: so how did it go installing?14:49
