Centurion_DanLeePen: o/00:26
Centurion_Dancan you give me the link for the failed arm64 build?  I'll take a look today00:30
masonIt just occured to me how irrelevant it is that we don't ship elilo, since it's a self-contained binary with no OS dependencies whatsoever. :P05:06
masonI can just lift it from elsewhere for now.05:07
rrqCenturion_Dan: LeePen's failed build= https://ci.devuan.org/job/policykit-1-binaries/architecture=arm64,label=arm64/70/console06:25
LeePenCenturion_Dan: rrq: Thanks08:13
rrqLeePen: I think I have another policykit-1 quirk for you:09:29
rrqpolicykit-1 recommends polkit-1-auth-agent09:29
rrqwhich is provided by: gnome-flashback, gnome-shell, lxpolkit, lxqt-policykit, mate-polkit, policykit-1-gnome and/or polkit-kde-agent-109:30
rrqI think that's the reason for task-xfce4-desktop resulting in pulling in lxqt-session, which happens to become its default session (although xfce4-session is also installed)09:32
free_speechIn german devuan IRC channel someone criticized that in Raspberry Pi Devuan-Images, the kernel doesn't get updated ... I can't verify this since my Raspberry Pi is currently not even in use ... is it true that kernel updates on RPi-Images are rare?09:35
rrqI think many/most arm devices has the kernel in the boot image and not in the file system, so a kernel change becomes a more involved task... but check on #devuan-arm channel as well09:40
LeePenrrq: thanks for that. I added that recommends to work around the broken pkttyagent:10:49
LeePenhttps://git.devuan.org/devuan-packages/policykit-1/commit/423d821d3fb73fe16c5ded711750b795e300901d10:49
LeePenMaybe policykit should recommend policykit-1-gnome | polkit-1-auth-agent10:52
LeePenThen we will get a neutral default?10:52
rrqLeePen: I'm afraid I don't know enough to have much of an opinion.11:06
LeePenI think that will prevent pulling in a random satisfer of polkit-1-auth-agent (which is purely virtual).11:08
LeePenpolicykit-1-gnome seems the most neutral to have as a default.11:08
LeePenWho reported it originally? fsmithred?11:10
rrqno, I ran into it when I trialled the bewowulf alpha installer11:11
rrq-w11:11
LeePenOK. I will build with that fix for unstable.11:12
LeePenI can try a beowulf build too, but I don't know if the arm64 will build.11:12
rrqmmm yes beowulf would be good; I suppose I can manipulate the apt configuration between installing the base system and the desktop stuff11:14
LeePenOK. Just doing a quick test build here before I push.11:15
LeePenrrq: sort of built for unstable: ppc64el was in the middle of an update and arm64 failed as yesterday. Hope Centurion_Dan can work out what is wrong with that.11:50
LeePenI will redo the ppc64el in a while.11:50
LeePenTrying beowulf build now.11:50
rrqok .. I'll pick it up when it has propagated, ~10 min, and test it11:51
LeePenOK. Shall I wait for the beowulf build until you have confirmed it fixed?11:54
rrqmight be good (shouldn't be more than half an hour)11:55
LeePenfsmithred: golinux: The slim theme looks nice in beowulf!11:56
rrqLeePen: that was a crash course in pinning for me! :) but I think I got everything from beowulf except policykit-1, which I got from unstable. It resulted in 100 packages less, and only three '*lx*' (='*glx*') packages. Great.12:17
rrqoops that was with policykit 0.105-25+devuan6 ...12:19
rrqsecond try12:19
rrqok same package count with policykit 0.105.25+devuan712:27
LeePenExcellent.12:28
LeePenAnd the arm64 rebuild has worked. Wonder shy it is flaky?12:30
LeePens/shy/why/!12:33
rrqok, beowulf netinstall alpha at http://borta.rrq.id.au:8081/ ... (it holds all udeb but no firmware) ready for broader testing12:39
LeePenActually the arm64 build still fails. I misread amd64! Doh!12:45
LeePenrrq: I still have consolekit2 and xfce4-session to build for beowulf. Do you think I should wait until the arm64 build is fixed?12:48
LeePenThat is the policykit-1 beowulf arm6412:48
rrqyeah maybe give Dan a couple of days or so first12:50
LeePenOK. Thanks.12:51
g4570nHi guys, are you aware of the problem with debian-installer in devuan repos? The package is not updated with the latest kernel version in ASCII17:00
golinuxLeePen: Thanks.17:02
golinuxg4570n: Yes.  Painfully aware.  We have been talking about a point release for 6 months or more.17:03
golinuxWe are having issues with our infra that builds them.17:04
g4570n🤔 I mean something else, this is the debian-installer version changelog, on the 5th of this month they updated the kernel version. Our version of the package does not yet reflect that change. And it gives errors when you want to use it to install from a live mode.17:07
g4570nhttps://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/d/debian-installer/debian-installer_20170615+deb9u7_changelog17:07
golinuxg4570n: Sorry for the misread.  Just waking up17:08
g4570ngolinux: LOL17:10
g4570nNo problem, I just wanted to know if they were aware of this problem.17:11
g4570nThe maintainer of the EterTICs derivative is having problems, after generating the ISO and executing it in live mode, to install from live mode using d-i and it is because the live version uses the last kernel (4.9.0-11) and d-i is still using a previous kernel.17:15
g4570ngolinux: Could you discuss this issue on Wednesday?17:19
golinuxg4570n: Here's the pad for this week: https://pad.dyne.org/code/#/2/code/edit/g3u4q9dAld7TymUifitybDa1/17:22
golinuxCould you please post about it there?  I'd probably get it wrong . . .17:23
g4570nok,17:25
golinuxYou could come to the meet too!17:25
g4570nI practically do not speak English. I am now using g-translate 😆17:27
g4570ngolinux: Ready, I added it at the end. I wasn't sure where to write it17:38
fsmithredgolinux, desktop-base now installs correctly in beowulf (Thank you, Ralph!)17:42
fsmithredwindow theme and icon theme are there17:42
fsmithredafk17:42
yetiThe following NEW packages will be installed:17:46
yeti  cinnabar-icon-theme clearlooks-phenix-cinnabar-theme gtk2-engines gtk3-nooverlayscrollbar17:46
yeti:-D17:46
golinuxYEA!  Victory.  Thanks to fsmithred and rrq18:06
golinuxg4570n: Thanks for doing that18:24
g4570ngolinux: I updated the info about the error, analyzing it well, the debian-installer package, in particular, has nothing to do with the problem.20:06
