LeePengnu_srs1: I have been investigating bugs.d.o including submitters in replies to NNN@bdo.11:03
LeePenIt actually doesn't work as I thought. You need to explicitly include the submitter (either11:04
LeePenreal address of NNN-submitter@bdo) in the To or CC.11:04
LeePenIt is documented at https://bugs.devuan.org/Developer.html in Followup Messages.11:05
LeePenSame behaviour in Debian BTS.11:05
LeePenSuprised me too!11:05
LeePenHTH11:05
gnu_srs1Ok, that explains why I did not get any replies when commenting on the bugs.11:06
LeePenThere are several Debian bugs about it; it clearly catches lots of folk out.11:07
LeePeng4570n: I have just restored the ascii and jessie installer mini.isos and netboot. Could you verify the files you wanted/expect are there?12:23
LeePenThanks12:23
joshbowyerok19:45
joshbowyernow it works19:45
joshbowyeri want to get involved in the devuan project, im proficient in shell scripting and have been a linux admin for around 10 years. how can i help?19:46
joshbowyeralso i submitted a bug report for a upower package, but when i tried to email the package maintainer (daniel) i got a bounceback, so is the package now unmaintained?19:46
LeePenjoshbowyer: I think we have reverted to debian's package for upower in beowulf.19:52
LeePenWhich bug?19:52

joshbowyerhttps://bugs.devuan.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=39420:05
xrogaanjoshbowyer: you could adopt a package :P20:47
fsmithredIf I have upower 1:0.9.23-2+devuan1.3 installed, should I downgrade to 0.99 that's in the repo?20:59
joshbowyer0.99 is newer than 0.9.23, no?20:59
joshbowyeralso 0.99 isnt available for x86/amd64, but only arm64, armhf etc21:00
joshbowyerkinda odd to me21:00
fsmithred0.99.10-1 50021:00
fsmithred        500 http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf/main amd64 Packages21:00
fsmithred0.99 might be newer, but it has a lower version number than 1:0.9.23-2+devuan1.321:00
fsmithredbecause of the epoch21:00
joshbowyerwell, would be worth a try21:02
joshbowyersince leepen told me beowulf reverted to debians upower package21:02
fsmithredand according to apt/history.log upower has never been installed or upgraded21:02
joshbowyerthe only weird thing is, im not sure its upower itself21:03
joshbowyersince that is accurate when running upower -i21:03
fsmithredsorry, I just got here and didn't read what your problem is21:03
joshbowyerim just not sure if its gir1.2-upowerglibc-1.0, or its connector in upower21:03
joshbowyermy guess is the former since on boot it gets an accurate reading21:04
joshbowyerbut then just doesnt update21:04
joshbowyerso ill probably have to look into cinnamon-settings-daemon older versions alongside the upower glib package21:04
fsmithredoh, I see it now. Battery status.21:04
fsmithredI think someone else mentioned this on the forum21:04
joshbowyeryeah i want to help fix it if i can since its a big deal for this to be broken21:07
joshbowyerno way of telling battery status (line or discharge), charge percentage, low power actions, etc21:07
joshbowyerand i want to contribute to devuan so this seems like a good first step21:07
fsmithredaha! I'm still running the ascii version.21:07
joshbowyerdoes it work for you?21:17
joshbowyerif you go to the bug report i filed, you can put the contents of the test script i made into a test.py and run it21:17
joshbowyerif its percentage match what you see using upower -i, then ascii doesnt have the problem21:17
joshbowyerwait21:32
joshbowyerok21:37
joshbowyerthat worked21:37
joshbowyerdowngrading upower and gir1.2-upowerglib-1.0 fixes it21:37
LeePenExcellent!21:38
joshbowyeri ought to keep a list of things ive had to modify with beowulf, i feel stupid in retrospect for not doing so21:38
joshbowyersuch as lid actions21:38
xrogaanjoshbowyer: I don't know, if you do want to be a maintainer it wouldn't hurt to ask here though.21:42
fsmithredrrq, no keyboard in amd64 destkop iso install23:06
fsmithreduefi install on hardware from usb stick23:07
fsmithredjoshbowyer, I don't have gir1.2-upowerglib-1.0. I only have upower and libupower-glib323:11
joshbowyerare you using cinnamon?23:11
fsmithreddo you know what pulled in gir1.2-upowerglib-1.0?23:11
fsmithredno. xfce here23:11
joshbowyerthats why23:11
fsmithredand you upgraded from ascii?23:12
joshbowyeryup23:12
joshbowyercinnamon requires the gir1.2 package23:12
joshbowyersince its cinnamon-settings-daemon does some checks using the library, using its python modules23:13
joshbowyeri dont know if libupower-glib3 is affected by the earlier issue23:13
joshbowyeralthough ive seen it mentioned on forums, just not sure about versioning23:14
fsmithredI got it automatically, possibly before I changed upower.23:15
fsmithredlibupower-glib3 doesn't have a devuanized version23:17
fsmithredso it shouldn't be a problem on upgrade to beowulf23:18
joshbowyergotcha23:18
fsmithredgolinux, I emailed chillfan about the upower issue.23:19
golinuxThanks.23:19
