LeePenHi all.14:59
bgstack15greetings15:00
LeePenA couple of significant updates have just gone into ceres: sysvinit version 2.96-3+devuan115:01
LeePenand (thanks to amesser) a version of apt without libsystemd0 dependency.15:02
LeePen2.0.1+devuan1.15:02
LeePenPLease test them if you are able before they go into chimaera. Thanks.15:03
fsmithredJust upgraded a ceres VM. Everything upgraded ok. Reboots ok, 'init 1' works. Anything specific that needs to be tested?16:35
LeePenfsmithred: Thanks. No, if it works....16:37
LeePenGreat!16:37
fsmithredI closed that bug16:37
LeePenThanks16:37
fsmithreddidn't even remember it existed16:38
masonfsmithred: Did you zap libelogind0?16:41
fsmithredit was not there to begin with16:41
fsmithredalready had libelogind0 installed16:42
masonHrm. I would have thought apt would have required it.16:42
fsmithredI think that's what just got fixed16:42
masonwait, it was already installed, or not there to begin with? Now I'm confuzzled.16:42
fsmithredI had a refracta beowulf that I upgraded to ceres, I don't remember when - maybe a couple months ago.16:43
fsmithredboot it today, did apt update & upgrade, got about 400+ packages16:43
masonI guess the test I'd want to run would be having a system that doesn't have libsystemd0 *or* libelogind0.16:43
fsmithredlibsystemd0 was replaced with libelogind0 back when it was beowulf.16:43
fsmithredthere is no system like that16:44
masonRight. But the idea is that apt shouldn't require either.16:44
LeePenmason: The new apt ins ceres doesn't require either, but other pacakges do.16:44
LeePenMany other.16:44
masonLeePen: It's a start.16:44
LeePenAbsolutely!16:44
masonI'll see if I can get a VM going later to test stuff. Much of my environment is pretty light - on workstations, xdm, openbox, urxvt-unicode - so to a large extent I can avoid the whole mess.16:45
LeePenYou might manage it. I will be interested to know.16:49
LeePenA quick apt rdepends libsystemd0 | grep Depends | wc -l16:50
LeePengives 177 pacakges!16:50
Human_G33k239 for me in debian testing17:03
Human_G33kLeePen17:04
fsmithredlooks like libapt-inst2.0 and libapt-pkg5.0 still want lsd0. (They would be removed if I purged lsd0.)17:18
fsmithredI'm on a recent beowulf server install that I just upgraded to ceres.17:19
LeePenfsmithred: I think that is OK once you have apt 2.0.1+devuan117:39
LeePenIt uses libapt-pkg6.0.17:40
fsmithredoh!17:40
fsmithredcool17:40
LeePenlibapt-pkg5.0 should be an orphan and removable17:40
fsmithredI'll boot it up and check.17:40
fsmithredoh! Boot menu now says Devuan!17:41
LeePen/etc/os-release?17:41
fsmithredboth libapt packages went without any problem17:42
LeePenGreat.17:42
fsmithredyeah, ID=devuan17:42
fsmithredhow does grub know to change "devuan" to "Devuan"?17:43
LeePenMagic!17:43
fsmithredyeah, I've looked at some of that grub magic before.17:43
LeePenGlad it works.17:44
LeePenafk for a  bit.17:44
amesserLeePen: It will probably take some time till devuan apt will be in the package repositories?19:27
fsmithredamesser, I think I installed the new version about an hour ago19:37
fsmithred2.0.1+devuan119:38
fsmithredin ceres19:39
amesserah ok, probably not all mirrors are yet updated19:41
fsmithredyeah, that can take a couple hours19:43
amesserusing kde os beowulf has become a pain. on my system applications stall every other moment several seconds. Especially dolphin, removing a file can 20 to 30 seconds where it is doing nothing.19:53
amesseri guess its evaluating some now unmounted (machine off) autofs nfs shares which i used a day ago.19:54
amessershould get another file manager, probably shell only :-)19:55
fsmithredamesser, nepomuk? akonadi? (meaningless words I remember)20:28
fsmithredactually, not meaningless. I associate them with "enemy".20:29
amesserlol :-)21:05
amesseri think the problem is that some kde component scans through mountpoints and also through recently used files. This triggers autofs mount which fails if the server is not available. But the failure timeout is several seconds. (Typically even more)21:06
amesserThe point is, if I lower the mount timeout and the machine does not awake in time (homeserver spents most of its time in standby waiting for wol) the the user will get a "not avilable" or "file not found", kde programms complain etc..21:08
amesserAnd if it is large, well then it blocks forever. Kind of usage experience.21:08
amesserI mean if i tell dolphin to remove two files in my home folder, i wouldn't expect it to mess with othe paths, but it actually does.21:09
amesserunfortunately kde seems to hook up this function somehow in qt. I observe similar stalls also with non-kde but qt applications.21:10
amessertime to "aptitude purge" :-D21:10
masonamesser: Interesting, a friend has an issue much like what you're describing. Not KDE-specific. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/186135922:08
masonSomeone mistakenly rewrite the bug description when they thought it was just the high watermark issue, but there's some description later in the ticket that's interesting.22:08
masonThe one from today in particular.22:08
* golinux has never liked the "feel" of qt apps.22:09
masonrewrote* (I still can't type)22:11
masongolinux: Yeah, I think I know what you mean there. It's a nice toolkit, though.22:11
golinuxIt is cold and uncomfortable22:13
* golinux goes back to making a mask22:14
* fsmithred puts on a Trump mask to keep the virus away22:24
