| mdt_ | about my topic yesterday where i suspected broken hardware (because the newly installed kernel paniced): i encountered the bahaviour that `sc`, a spreadsheet was started during an `apt ..` run. cause for that was a file in `/lib/lsb/init-functions.d/` named `20-left-info-blocks` which contaned lines like `$TPUT sc` and TPUT was probably not set. sc (and others like... | 17:23 |
|---|---|---|
| mdt_ | ... setaf, op, ..) are terminalcodes, not programs, because TPUT wasnt set it started sc as program. now i wonder where this file initially came from (`dpkg -S` doesnt know it) and why TPUT is gone but the file is not.. it is a pure simple (while old) devuan installation.. | 17:23 |
| Xenguy | # apt-file search 20-left-info-blocks | 17:27 |
| Xenguy | lsb-base: /lib/lsb/init-functions.d/20-left-info-blocks | 17:27 |
| mdt_ | here it's unknown | 17:28 |
| mdt_ | (i use ceres) would like to know where TPUT came from and why that file wasnt removed. current lsb-base doesnt contain it | 17:30 |
| Xenguy | (Running Beowulf here) | 17:33 |
| LeePen | mdt_: It appears 20-left-info-blocks was dropped in https://salsa.debian.org/debian/lsb/-/commit/4bb40365289b7c8854ac8deb96d6ec4426a4afe1. | 19:16 |
| LeePen | But that doesn't explain why it was still present on your system. What version of lsb-base do you have installed? | 19:16 |
| LeePen | Have you always run ceres? Have you upgraded and missed out a release at some point? | 19:17 |
| mdt_ | yes, ceres from the beginning, or better: i mirgrated directly after installing it 2y ago or so | 22:43 |
| mdt_ | but in opposite to my usual box it did not upgrade since about a your | 22:44 |
| mdt_ | but 4bb40365 doesnt explain all, TPUT is gone aswell.. | 22:45 |
| mdt_ | c3632166b1c removes TPUT, weird, they hardcode terminal sequences for performance reasons but the eyecandy has to be preserved.. and all that introduces any number of bugs | 22:54 |
| mdt_ | but why wasnt the 20-.. file not removed in the first place? | 22:55 |
| mdt_ | and: they say "assuming it is VT100 compatible" which is crap if they hardcode colors, a vt100 had no colors, the vt340 came with colors as far as i remember ;) | 22:57 |
