xrogaanThis one seems stuck since a month ago: https://ci.devuan.org/view/suites-99-unstable/job/refractasnapshot-base-repos/20/13:12
fsmithredxrogaan, about a month ago we migrated from ci.devuan.org to a new ci13:16
fsmithredjenkins.devuan.dev13:16
xrogaanI'm just following links13:17
fsmithredlinks on website or email?13:18
xrogaanwebsite13:18
xrogaan> https://www.devuan.org/os/development13:18
fsmithredthanks13:20
xrogaanit'd be nice to have devuan.dev list all the useful links, without the fluff13:20
fsmithredgolinux, please change link for ci.devuan.org to jenkins.devuan.dev on this page: https://www.devuan.org/os/development13:20
xrogaandevuan.org is nearly unusable for me, links are hidden within pages.13:21
fsmithredyeah, a site map would be good13:22
xrogaanI like the archlinux front page: list everything you need to know. There is news, pkgs updates, and links to useful area of the project.13:23
fsmithredlibpolkit-gobject* and libpolkit-backend* are missing for ppc64el in beowulf. This prevents installation of xfce4-session (and probably other things)14:10
LeePenThey are in dak: http://ix.io/28Z414:42
fsmithredcan they get into pkgmaster?14:47
LeePenIf they are missing that looks like something in amprolla.14:49
LeePenEvilham?14:49
fsmithredalso, while I have you here, latest dnscrypt-proxy fix hasn't gone to beowulf yet14:50
LeePenI'm just heading out. Will do that later.14:51
fsmithredthanks14:51
EvilhamHi hi14:56
Evilhamfsmithred: can't check that, I am seeing this: http://tcp.st/pewbw16:17
Evilhamso it looks at first hand as if things were fine in amprolla16:17
fsmithredI'll update and check again16:38
fsmithredoh, I can only check amd6416:39
fsmithredEvilham, the only libpolkit packages for ppc64el are libpolkit-agent and libpolkit-agent-dev in pkgmaster: http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan/pool/main/p/policykit-1/16:42
Evilhamthe other packages have arch all16:43
fsmithredoh16:43
fsmithredso why wouldn't those show up in the running system?16:43
fsmithredum, no. There are arch-specific packages for libpolkit-gobject and libpolkit-backend16:44
fsmithredand ppc64el is missing16:45
Evilhamhuh16:47
Evilhammaybe we have to rebuild the packages16:47
EvilhamIIRC the arch was added in december16:47
Evilhamand last build is from nov16:47
fsmithredI take it back. They are there.16:47
Evilhamso it's possible that that's why?16:47
* Evilham is confused now :-D16:47
fsmithredI didn't see them on a page search for 8_ppc16:47
Evilhamthe names are truncated16:48
fsmithredoh, ok16:50
Evilhamanyway, if you cehck my paste, you'll see that some packages appear with arch all and some with arch ppc64el16:50
fsmithredyeah, I'm seeing the packages in question with the ppc64el ending16:51
Evilhamso, from the dak and amprolla side it looks good16:51
Evilham"good" --> the packages are there, no idea on whether or not they are correct :-D16:52
fsmithredhightower was having trouble installing xfce because of a missing dep16:52
fsmithred<hightower2> Hey can something be done about xfce4 on ppc64le architecture... for quite some time now package xfce4 is not installable due to xfce4-session wanting libpolkit-gobject-1-0, which is not installable16:53
fsmithredI see that package in the repo16:54
Evilhamnot installable is a different topic16:58
EvilhamI checked the logs and sadly I can't make sth out of what they wrote16:58
golinuxThere is a site map/table of contents link in the footer: https://devuan.org/toc17:27
golinuxfsmithred: ^^^17:30
golinuxxrogaan: Yes, the site is a bit of a mess.  Am open to an overhaul if you have the skills.  Other volunteers welcome too.17:32
LeePenfsmithred: Maybe check the libpolkit-* versions with him?17:59
LeePenAt one point the wrong version crept into beowulf from Debian, IIRC.18:00
fsmithredLeePen, if he comes back, I'll try to get more information18:00
fsmithredthe packages he needs are there, correct versions18:00
LeePenThe policykit-1 packages all have fixed version interpedepdencies, so if he managed to install one of the 0.105-26 versions from Debian when it was briefly in beowulf, apt won't downgrade it without --allow-downgrades.18:03
fsmithredok, I'll have him check that. Thanks.18:03
LeePenMigrated dnscrypt-proxy  2.0.19+ds1-2+devuan4 to beowulf and chimaera.18:07
fsmithred:)18:09
golinuxYEA! chillfan is working furiously on Beowulf documentation for the iso docs and website.18:15
cosurgiGuys, any idea how to disable this warning:20:35
cosurgi(EE) dbus-core: error connecting to system bus: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.FileNotFound (Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory)20:35
cosurgiIt is spamming my /var/log/Xorg.0.log20:36
cosurgithe file is 40MB already.20:36
fsmithredthe file exists?20:38
cosurgiI use the desktop without elogind consolekit dbus policykit. It works for over a month already. I just noticed it's spamming the log.20:38
cosurgiso the file does not exist. And should not ;)20:39
fsmithredoh! Xorg.0.log exists. duh.20:39
fsmithredlemme boot up a nodbus and see what's in my log.20:39
fsmithredyes, I have the same error20:42
cosurgiok. any idea how to mute it? :)20:43
fsmithredno, not yet20:43
cosurgiactually these 40MB accumulated over the month of usage after I uninstalled elogind consolekit dbus policykit20:44
fsmithredmake a cron job...   rm -f /var/log/Xorg.0.log20:45
cosurgior logrotate...20:45
fsmithredoh yeah20:45
cosurgiok. Just though to ask. I still have 6GB free space on /var partition. This can wait.20:45
fsmithredyou don't restart X very much, do you?20:46
cosurgino20:46
cosurgiI really don't.20:46
fsmithredneither do I20:46
cosurgiI wouldn't restart ever, except when kernel bugs happen.20:46
cosurgiI'm pondering to recompile Xorg just to remove this annoying message.20:53
cosurgiI've just restarted BTW. That's why I discovered that Xorg.log gets spammed. I had to patch kernel with this: https://github.com/skeggsb/nouveau/commit/dd09ebc623e3b3f2ee1ebd9df53bb0754b1dc79b20:53
cosurgithe SIGBUS was causing xserver crashes once every two months...20:54
cosurgithis commit is supposed to fix that.20:54
fsmithredI just did a beowulf install and replaced elogind with consolekit. Now I can't shut down from desktop.21:00
cosurgihm. I never resterted using GUI. Always used 'shutdown' command21:05
cosurgiBut, I used hibernation from GUI, and this worked.21:06
cosurgibut, my GUI is `rox --bottom=Default --pinboard=Default`21:06
cosurgiand window manager is sawfish.21:08
cosurgiThey make a decent desktop.21:08
cosurgiWould be nice if there was a desktop config based on these two. I use my 10 year old hand crafted desktop :)21:08
LeePenfsmithred: why didn't it work with elogind? It does for me. Which DM?21:34
fsmithredit did work with elogind21:35
fsmithredbut I changed over to consolekit to check if I could install falkon browser21:35
fsmithredand I couldn't21:35
LeePenOK. That's fine (and a relief!)21:36
fsmithredit wants elogind by some indirect route21:36
gnu_srsapt-get -s install falkon; The following packages have unmet dependencies: falkon : Depends: libkf5wallet-bin but it is not going to be installed21:43
fsmithredyup21:43
fsmithredI checked the deps on that and nothing seemed relevant to elogind21:44
fsmithredmostly qt stuff21:44
gnu_srsThat's with libpolkit*consolekit* installed running xfce421:44
fsmithredyes21:45
fsmithredwith elogind it installs21:45
fsmithredthe person who wanted to do this was running mate with consolekit and got the same result21:45
gnu_srsapt-get -s install libkf5wallet-bin  libkf5iconthemes5 libkf5configwidgets5  libkf5auth5 libpolkit-qt5-1-1; The following packages have unmet dependencies:22:50
gnu_srs libpolkit-qt5-1-1 : Depends: libpam-systemd; that does not work with *consolekit* but libpam-elogind provides libpam-systemd.22:50
fsmithredgnu_srs, thanks23:07
tom_workhey fsmithred, I know your having a lot of trouble with XFCE and the systemd shims like chmanager, consolekit, etc23:12
fsmithredI am?23:13
tom_workbasically the redhat systemd session management stuff23:13
tom_workto get functionality like the ability to poweroff or suspend the system from XFCE23:13
fsmithredyou have it working in beowulf xfce or mate with consolekit?23:14
tom_workfsmithred, oh, if your not who is maintaining Devuan's XFCE desktop?23:14
fsmithredI think xfce4-session is the only package we have to fork23:14
tom_workfsmithred, well actually I wanted to ask why someone has not just patched XFCE not to use any off that crap but to simply call the power management binaries like Linux used to before systemd23:14
fsmithredis there a bug report for that?23:15
tom_workand use simple POSIX acls to control power23:15
tom_worklike adding /bin/poweroff to the poweradm group or something23:15
tom_workI don't know23:15
fsmithredthere's a way to use startxfce without session management. The old code for that is still in there.23:16
tom_workbut I think I've talked to you or gnarface about it before23:16
fsmithredI went over this with someone a year or two ago. There's a discussion on the forum.23:16
tom_workanyways I wanted to ask if the reason it has not been forked yet was because that was a lot of work23:16
tom_workcould you point me to the form?23:16
fsmithreddev1galaxy.org23:16
tom_workI mean the specific post23:17
fsmithredin a few minutes23:17
tom_worktake your time23:17
tom_workbecause if you are planning on forking XFCE 4.1223:17
tom_workThat's something that I can help out with23:17
fsmithredhell no23:17
fsmithredwe don't plan to fork anything23:17
fsmithredwe do what we have to23:17
tom_workI'm already making preparations to do on Gentoo. been forking individual components, backtracking where in the git repos they went wrong23:18
tom_workthe session management stuff is something I have been looking to throw out23:18
fsmithredthat would make some people happy23:19
tom_workI'm forking XFCE because they are dropping gtk2, and gtk3 is not suitable replacement23:19
fsmithredI've noticed23:20
* Evilham has noticed too23:20
fsmithredthat it's not suitable, I mean23:20
fsmithredtom_work, here's the discussion: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=225623:20
tom_workthanks23:20
tom_workgive me a minute to bring myself up to speed on this23:20
fsmithredI suggested a fix23:21
fsmithredbut other devs didn't want to do it23:21
fsmithredmight try again23:21
tom_workI'm being cussed at by gnome developers in other bugtrackers because I've been backporting gtk2 support to programs, or maintaining older versions of programs that didn't switch to gtk323:29
tom_workI don't want to work with a toxic upstream like that anyways23:30
gnu_srstom_work: See the questions to tom-mediapc in #devuan (I assume you are the same person):  tom-mediapc: Hi, can you please try the proposed solutions in #261. Anyway, can you please explain how to set up one partition to be encrypted, as in: https://paste.debian.net/1128429/23:30
tom_workyes that's me23:31
tom_workgnu_srs, what do you mean 'setup one partition to be encrypted'?23:32
tom_workI didn't do that by hand if that's what your asking. that was done by selecting guide, fully encrypted in the ascii installer23:33
tom_workalthough if you need help setting up a luks partition by hand I can probably give you some pointers23:33
tom_workI will try beowulf's eudev later23:36
