* Centurion_Dan is anticipating something big today....01:18
* Centurion_Dan a big event we've all been waiting for... 01:18
KatolaZfsmithred: you here?08:34
golinuxHe will be in another 4 hours.08:38
golinuxMaybe 308:38
KatolaZfsmithred: you here?11:24
fsmithredkatoloz, I'm here12:35
KatolaZhey12:37
KatolaZhowdy?12:37
fsmithredhi12:37
fsmithredshould I be uploading?12:37
KatolaZwell, sure, if you are ready12:37
KatolaZI simply noticed that there is a glitch in refractainstaller12:37
fsmithredhelp page?12:38
KatolaZI tried to install on a qemu virtual disk12:38
KatolaZfrom minimal-live12:38
KatolaZand it fails to boot12:38
KatolaZfor some reason that I don't understand12:38
KatolaZit does not find the root fs12:38
fsmithreddid you run with -d option?12:38
KatolaZnope, I can try now12:39
KatolaZI also tried reinstalling grub from chroot12:39
KatolaZsame outcome12:39
fsmithredthat will do 'set -x'12:39
fsmithredshit12:39
KatolaZavgain, this is not vital12:39
fsmithredno uefi in the minimal, right?12:39
fsmithredoh, there's another glitch12:39
KatolaZsince minimal-live is not the recommended way to install12:39
KatolaZ(no uefi)12:39
fsmithredhelp page doesn't show12:39
KatolaZfor refractainstaller?12:40
fsmithredsimple fix for now is to have rootfs_overlay/usr/share/doc/refractainstaller-base/readme.refractainstaller.txt12:40
fsmithredpackage has it as .txt.gz, script looks for .txt12:40
fsmithredI've never installed in a qemu virtual disk. Is it much different from virtualbox?12:41
fsmithredjust acts like a real disk?12:41
KatolaZyep12:42
fsmithredbios boot, grub-pc installed, it should ask you where to put the bootloader before it asks for which partitions to use12:42
fsmithredand it should do it12:43
KatolaZyep12:45
KatolaZit does12:45
KatolaZI am trying now with an msdos disklabel12:46
KatolaZprevious was gpt12:46
fsmithreddid you read the warning about htat?12:46
fsmithredspecial partition needed12:46
KatolaZuh?12:46
KatolaZwhich warning?12:47
fsmithredgpt with bios boot12:47
KatolaZoh12:47
fsmithredthe installer should have mentioned it12:47
KatolaZthat might be the problem then12:47
KatolaZdunno12:47
KatolaZI was in "dummy" mode12:47
fsmithredneed >1MB unformatted partition12:47
fsmithredyup12:47
KatolaZOK OK OK OK oK oK12:47
KatolaZ:D12:47
fsmithredlol12:47
fsmithredotherwise grub fails12:47
fsmithredsomeday we should make an installer that does the partitioning for you12:48
KatolaZno grub does not fail12:48
KatolaZthat's the problem12:48
fsmithred(before gparted becomes unavailable)12:48
KatolaZthe kernel loads, bu can'd find the / partition12:49
KatolaZsame outcome12:49
parazydShoudn't it be looking for the initramfs?12:49
KatolaZ:\12:49
KatolaZyep12:49
fsmithredduring the installation, grub is not very talkative about it12:49
KatolaZbut it should load it from the /12:49
parazydSo check that it's named correctly in isolinux.cfg12:49
KatolaZnope12:50
KatolaZit's grub12:50
KatolaZnot isolinux12:50
parazydSame12:50
parazydMount the disk with qemu-nbd12:50
parazydSee if it's in place12:50
fsmithredlet me see the debug log12:50
KatolaZand "-d" does not set +x12:51
KatolaZ:\12:51
KatolaZanyway, I wouldn't consider this major12:51
KatolaZcould also be a glitch in qemu12:51
KatolaZwho knows...12:51
KatolaZVFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)12:52
fsmithredin cli installer it should be obvious when you're in debug mode - you see extra text12:53
KatolaZhold on12:53
KatolaZlet me try something12:53
fsmithredsomething wrong with the disk?12:53
KatolaZ(yes I know, but I don't see the expected output from set +x)12:54
fsmithredset -x12:54
KatolaZyep12:54
fsmithred(Warning, I'm not really awake yet)12:54
KatolaZok12:57
KatolaZI found it12:57
KatolaZit's the damn non-canonical name in the initramfs12:57
KatolaZFFS12:57
KatolaZwhy has linux become "smart"?12:57
KatolaZ:\12:57
fsmithredI've seen warnings about that, but I don't know what it means12:57
KatolaZshouldn't it get /initrd.img ?12:58
KatolaZ(I managed to boot by specifying the initrd file)12:58
fsmithredgrub uses the full path/filename12:58
KatolaZffs12:58
KatolaZthat's WRONG12:59
fsmithredlol, especially wrong if you have to type it12:59
fsmithredyeah, it always puts the newest one first12:59
KatolaZit wants a fucking version13:00
KatolaZthat's sick man13:00
KatolaZan the EU paid for grub 213:02
KatolaZ:\13:02
fsmithredwell, it's versatile13:04
fsmithred(do everything, not necessarily well)13:04
fsmithredI keep toying with the idea of adding extlinux to the installer13:04
KatolaZhow do I force the name of initrd.img in grub.cfg?13:06
KatolaZI can edit it, but this is not enough13:06
KatolaZ'cause it will go away at the next grub-install13:06
fsmithredadd an entry to /etc/grub.d/40_custom13:07
KatolaZoh no it does not go away13:08
KatolaZso it's grub-reconfigure whatever that rewrites grub.cfg, right?13:09
fsmithredupdate-grub, not grub-install13:09
KatolaZok13:09
KatolaZlet me try13:09
fsmithredKatolaZ, do we or will we make torrents of the live isos?13:11
KatolaZOK I can fix it13:12
KatolaZsure13:13
KatolaZwe will have a torrent for all the images13:13
KatolaZparazyd: ^^??13:13
fsmithredoh yeah, I forgot about that13:13
parazydKatolaZ: Yes, once everything's in place.13:16
KatolaZfsmithred: fixed14:40
KatolaZdamn grub214:40
fsmithredKatolaZ, I saw your outline for release notes. Is someone writing a generic one for all isos?14:57
fsmithredI have to go. Will be back in about 6-7 hours. (will be at meeting today)14:58
KatolaZfsmithred: what do you mean a generic one?15:22
KatolaZIrrwahn: you here?17:16
IrrwahnKatolaZ: Kind of.17:23
KatolaZ:D17:23
parazydgolinux: about https://devuan.org/os/18:08
parazydCould we remove all the auto.mirror mentions?18:09
parazydOr at least change the order so that ascii is above jessie18:09
KatolaZagree with parazyd18:09
KatolaZlet's move jessie down that page18:09
parazydDevuan 1.0.0 Jessie default18:10
parazydDevuan 2.0.0 ASCII default18:10
parazydCountry-code repositories18:10
parazydreverse these18:11
golinuxparazyd: The new site is on beta.devuan.org18:50
parazydThe same applies18:51
golinuxIndeed answered before reading further.18:51
parazydHold on a sec18:51
golinuxSo ASCII Jessie CC or ASCII CC Jessie?18:52
golinuxhttps://beta.devuan.org/os/etc/apt/sources.list18:52
golinux(I'm still waking up)18:53
parazydgolinux: https://ptpb.pw/e0Hf.png18:54
parazydLike this18:54
parazydAnd this is the actual order of preference18:55
golinuxCC on the top?  That look f'ing weird.18:57
golinuxThe default is deb.devuan.org18:58
parazydIt doesn't look weird.18:58
golinuxThen what's the point of the round robin?18:58
KatolaZgolinux: also the country-codes are on the same rr18:59
KatolaZactually, those will be on a more smart set of redirects soonish18:59
golinuxI know.18:59
KatolaZI might have a slight preference for putting deb.devuan.org first18:59
golinuxSo deb.devuan is a bit broken?19:00
KatolaZbut the most important thing is to remove Jessie from the top19:00
KatolaZgolinux: ?19:00
KatolaZo_O19:00
KatolaZwhat is broken?19:00
golinux<KatolaZ> actually, those will be on a more smart set of redirects soonish19:00
KatolaZehm, where did I say "broken"?19:00
golinux= less smart  = a bit broken.19:00
KatolaZno golinux19:00
KatolaZthat's wrong inference19:00
KatolaZ:\19:01
golinuxdumber = a bit broken to me.19:01
KatolaZnope19:01
golinuxNot important.19:01
KatolaZsmarter = better that the current solution19:01
KatolaZdoes not mean that the current solution is broken19:01
KatolaZit means that can be improved19:02
KatolaZas anything19:02
golinuxOy . . . it's too early for this19:02
KatolaZthen leave it out19:02
KatolaZwe will handle it later19:02
golinuxNo time to fix the https://pkginfo.devuan.org/ styles yet, I see19:03
KatolaZo_O19:03
KatolaZhttps://pad.dyne.org/code/#/1/edit/uMZRomITn+hso67hiIIy8A/W-DdDZBjim8CZaZ5czRFUpmi/ <- mirror status19:58
KatolaZ(ISO mirror)19:58
NewGnuGuyparazyd: When does jaromil get back? The certificate for dyne.org and all of its subdomains expires tomorrow.21:12
golinuxjaromil: ^^^21:13
parazydNext monday21:14
parazydHe should be around today too. Have you emailed him already?21:14
golinuxNewGnuGuy:  jaromil suggested sending emails21:14
NewGnuGuyjaromil knows. I contacted him on IRC and he ack'ed. That was about 3 days ago.21:15
NewGnuGuyStill not fixed tho21:16
parazydI'll let him know21:16
golinuxIs auto.mirror considered to be deprecated?21:30
golinux(working on that page now)21:30
parazydyes21:31
parazydand it will be decomissioned in the future21:32
golinuxOK.  I need to rewrite some of the text because of the reordering21:32
golinuxparazyd: Will this do?21:34
golinuxNote that auto.mirror has been deprecated. If you are upgrading from Jessie to ASCII or changing Jessie sources from the default auto.mirror, you must first install the latest keyring (version 2017.10.03 or above) with `apt-get install devuan-keyring`.  Note that it is recommended to always use the 'release codename'  (e.g., "jessie", "ascii") to identify package repositories.21:34
golinuxThat will be at the top of the page21:35
parazydWell, the auto.mirror has the latest devuan-keyring as well21:35
parazydI'm not sure where that paragraph fits in21:36
golinux# /etc/apt/sources.list21:37
golinuxNote that auto.mirror has been deprecated. If you are upgrading from Jessie to ASCII or changing Jessie sources from the default auto.mirror, you must first install the latest keyring (version 2017.10.03 or above) with `apt-get install devuan-keyring`.  Note that it is recommended to always use the 'release codename'  (e.g., "jessie", "ascii") to identify package repositories.21:37
golinux## Devuan 2.0.0 ASCII (stable)21:37
golinuxoops21:37
golinuxNo that how the page will start.  Then all the repo info after that.21:39
golinuxI can commit so you can have a look.21:39
parazydI don't think that the mentions of devuan-keyring are necessary.21:39
golinuxSo I need to take out the keyring instruction?21:40
parazydBut I might be wrong, maybe people don't update their systems21:40
golinuxThat was needed for the RC21:40
parazydMaybe someone else should give some thought on this21:40
parazyd(not me, I mean)21:40
parazydWhat about: auto.mirror is now deprecated and will be decomissioned. You should point your sources.list to deb.devuan.org and make sure you have the latest devuan-keyring package.21:41
golinuxI was just thinking that.21:42
golinuxI'll put the command there too.21:42
golinuxThanks.21:42
parazydYou're welcome.21:43
parazydMaybe reword it a little bit though21:43
golinuxYeah, I was planning to  ;)21:43
parazydAlso I'd probably put "latest package" before "point your sources.list" in the sentence.21:43
parazydNot like what I wrote above.21:43
golinuxHow is this https://beta.devuan.org/os/etc/apt/sources.list21:51
parazyd40421:52
parazydI was talking about this page all the time btw: https://beta.devuan.org/os/https://beta.devuan.org/os/21:52
parazydhttps://beta.devuan.org/os/21:52
golinuxI'm seeing it here21:52
golinuxI need to change that page too.21:55
golinuxI just started with the big page21:55
golinuxI'll go do that now if that message meets your approval21:56
golinux?21:57
golinuxTick tock21:57
parazydI get a 404 on https://beta.devuan.org/os/etc/apt/sources.list.d/21:58
NewGnuGuyparazyd: That page has been intentionally removed an merged into sources.list22:06
golinuxYes, all the sources.list pages have been deleted.22:07
golinuxoops sources.list/d22:07
golinuxKatolaZ wanted to KISS22:07
golinuxThere was no info in those pages that isn't available elsewhere.22:08
KatolaZparazyd: that has been merged22:09
golinuxIs https://beta.devuan.org/os/ OK?22:09
KatolaZthere was a massive overlap with the general page about repos22:09
golinuxWe keep tightening the site and reducing the unnecessary duplication and fragmentation.22:10
golinuxMeet in 20 min.22:10
parazydgolinux: ACK on the page(s)22:17
golinuxThanks.22:20
parazydThank you22:24
NewGnuGuyy'all coming?22:34
parazydI'm here but can't do video22:35
parazydStill testing the installers.22:35
golinuxNot seeing you at all22:35
parazydhere == irc22:35
fsrok, we're in the chatroom22:42
fsrthree of us22:42
parazydI'm successful with the installers22:43
KatolaZcoming in 2min22:43
parazydThe virtual machines are already synced across mirrors22:43
parazydembedded is being done atm22:43
golinuxWhere is everybody?22:44
KatolaZstatus of mirrors:22:44
KatolaZhttps://pad.dyne.org/code/#/1/edit/uMZRomITn+hso67hiIIy8A/W-DdDZBjim8CZaZ5czRFUpmi/22:45
KatolaZupdated about 30 mins ago22:45
parazydAwesome22:45
golinuxparazyd: Please let me know when the torrent is set up22:46
parazydgolinux: After everything is synced22:46
parazydOr allowed to be synced, the same.22:46
parazydKatolaZ: open up the installers whenever :) I'd say it's fine.23:18
KatolaZok parazyd23:23
KatolaZgreat23:23
parazydKatolaZ: lmk when everything's in place. Then we can make the torrent file.23:24
KatolaZparazyd: do you know if there are problems with using deb.devuan.org for the live-sdk?23:25
parazydYes, there can be on debootstrap.23:28
KatolaZok23:28
KatolaZwe have pkgmaster.devuan.org on the live23:28
parazydI resort to pkgmaster to build the images, then it's easy enough to sed the file out.23:28
fsrat end of finalize?23:29
parazydfsr: Whenever, blend_preinst and anything after is fine.23:29
fsrthanks23:29
KatolaZwhat if we leave the live images with pkgmaster in sources.list?23:30
KatolaZI think it's not a massive problem maybe?23:30
KatolaZparazyd: ^^23:31
parazydIt's not a problem at all.23:32
parazydIf anything it'll perform better :p23:32
parazydbrb23:33
parazydb23:38
parazydfsr, KatolaZ: One thing that comes to mind is that if the live is installed, refracta will (probably) copy over the same sources.list23:38
KatolaZheheheh23:38
parazydBut I don't consider this a problem.23:39
KatolaZyep23:39
KatolaZit will23:39
KatolaZbut it's not really a problem23:39
parazydgolinux: Where's the link to the Jessie torrent on devuan.org?23:51
