WonkaKatolaZ: thanks for the explanation, but I know how HTTP works, and especially how hosting more than one domain per IP works. I had actually had aptitude download packages from deb.devuan.org and got an error message that a gcc-related package was not found on deb.devuan.org [195.85.215.251]. While looking into that, I got a 302 to debian.ipacct.com. And other funny stuff happened.00:05
bpmedleyHowdy!  My devuan ascii upgrade was basically perfect.  Only issue is that I had to add myself to the "input" group so the mouse worked in X.00:33
desperateanonHey. I really need help. I am trying to get IOMMU working on my Devuan ASCII install, but it just won't work for some reason. I can't figure it out. VT-d to the best of my knowledge is working, so it's just IOMMU that's the odd man out here. intel_iommu=on is enabled in the grub bootloader. For some clarification, my grub boots from an old debian install on the same disk if that makes a difference. initramfs is set to load all m01:11
desperateanonexcuse me, old ubuntu install01:12
desperateanon_i probably confused a bunch of people. okay VT-d (IOMMU) is NOT enabled. the VFIO drivers ARE being initialized. Apologies for the confusion.01:35
WonkaI have them all the time...01:55
WonkaE: Failed to fetch http://deb.devuan.org/merged/pool/DEBIAN/main/p/pango1.0/libpango1.0-dev_1.42.1-1_amd64.deb: 404  Not Found [IP: 192.80.24.194 80]โ–’01:55
caioauHi anyone using devuan on raspberrypi? I use mine as headless server. thanks02:17
DocScrutinizer05Wonka: that's strange, my FF thinks the file is there and offers to store it02:24
DocScrutinizer05http://192.80.24.194/merged/pool/DEBIAN/main/p/pango1.0/libpango1.0-dev_1.42.1-1_amd64.deb  tries DL but says "stalled"02:28
KatolaZWonka: it must have been a temporary problem on the mirror then08:03
WonkaKatolaZ: hm. funny.11:12
WonkaKatolaZ: how are the mirrors updated? via debmirror scripts using rsync?11:12
WonkaKatolaZ: I have a feeling this could happen if the Packages etc files are updated before all .deb files are there.11:13
Wonkathe debmirror scripts make sure first all new .deb files are there, then Packages, Releases and co, and then old .deb are deleted...11:13
KatolaZWonka: it must be a problem on the mirror side11:19
KatolaZthe DNS rr is bases on IPs not FQDN11:19
KatolaZthere is no way you can hit debian.ipacct.com by using deb.devuan.org11:20
KatolaZunless ipacct.com changes their DNS record to let debian.ipacct.com point to the IP associated to devuan.ipacct.com11:21
KatolaZbut we haven't seen anything like that11:21
divagantehello people! you will be able to tell me with which tool or command I can manage the startup services in devuan? graphical or console.12:20
gnarfaceupdate-rc.d works12:21
gnarfaceignore the part of the man page that says not to use it12:21
gnarfacedespite the admonition, it's never actually been changed12:21
gnarface*it has never12:22
gnarfacereally you could change the symlinks by hand too12:23
gnarfaceit's not very complicated12:23
divagantegnarface, tanks... update-rc.d "service" disable, for example?12:23
gnarfacei think so12:23
gnarfacesomething like that anyway12:24
divaganteok... mmm..12:26
gnarfacei do them by hand12:28
divaganteits works!12:28
gnarfacecool12:28
divagantecurrent start runlevel (empty) of script 'apache2' overrides LBS defaults (2 3 4 5)12:29
divagantethere was an update-rc in ncurses i remember now... but i don't know how to invoke it.12:29
gnarfacethere was this thing on redhat called ntsysv once upon a time12:36
gnarfacei'm not seeing that in the repo though12:36
gnarfaceyou'd think there would be something but i never really looked12:36
gnarfaceyou can search the repo with a regexp with apt-cache though12:37
divagantetanks gnarface, I'm gonna go get him.12:45
gnarfaceif you figure out the name of it, let me know12:46
divaganteapt-get install sysv-rc-conf12:49
gnarfaceoh, cool12:49
gnarfacethanks12:49
divaganteis not the one I used a few years ago. But I think it works anyway.12:50
banshihello all15:13
gnarfacehello15:14
banshiwho knows, how to generate html from cflow output?15:15
gnarfacesorry, not me15:17
gnarfacedid you check the man page?15:17
banshiyes15:19
banshinothing about html in man15:19
gnarfacehmmm15:21
gnarfacethe program homepage mentions that it comes with an emacs major mode for the output15:22
gnarfacei wonder if that could do it15:22
gnarfacei mean i wonder if it does it15:22
gnarfacei know it would be possible15:22
sixwheeledbeast^"Future versions of cflow will offer more output formats, including XML and HTML outputs.  Currently, you can use VCG tool"15:24
banshiI can't understand... why such cool tools aren't in debian/devuan repos? cflow is in repo, but where is cflow2vcg?15:29
gnarfacei can't tell you, but the packages will be the same as in debian, with the exception of a few that depend on systemd too strongly (http://deb.devuan.org/bannedpackages.txt)15:31
gnarfacecflow isn't one of those, so if you're expecting it in debian, maybe it's in non-free for some reason?15:32
gnarfaceand maybe you've also forgot to enable non-free?15:32
gnarfaceor contrib?15:32
banshicflow is in repo. I've installed it just typing 'apt-get install cflow'15:34
gnarface`apt-cache search cflow`15:34
gnarfacemaybe it's in one of the other packages, if it's not in the cflow package?15:34

banshisixwheeledbeast^, what?16:11
msiismKatolaZ: i've downloaded the source package of devuan's d-i. where can i find info on what filesystems the installer supports (which file)?16:18
KatolaZmsiism: ?16:32
msiismKatolaZ: it's probably not a question of d-i itself, but of the kernel. i'm just trying to find out which file systems i could select through the installer. that's all.16:35
KatolaZoh ok16:39
KatolaZmsiism: as you know, d-i is not just one package16:39
KatolaZbut something like 50-60 separate components16:39
KatolaZthe debian-installer package is the one which is in charge of putting all of them together in an image/tar.gz16:40
KatolaZso you won't find much information in the debian-installer package16:40
msiismKatolaZ: ok, i didn't know that. but now i do :)16:40
KatolaZI guess the package you need to look at is parted16:40
KatolaZand in particular, the parted's udeb16:40
KatolaZit's probably faster to spin a netinst, TBH16:41
msiismi was just thinking of that :)16:41
msiismyes, i mean, i can just have a look into the partitioning dialog and then abor the installation, right?16:41
KatolaZyep16:42
msiismok, i'll do that then.16:42
BeerbelottHello18:05
BeerbelottAre there problems w/ elogind again?18:05
BeerbelottCannot shutdown my PC through XFCE 'Shutdown' UI anymore... again18:05
KatolaZBeerbelott: problems with elogind were solved between ASCII beta, ASCII RC, and ASCII Stable18:06
TuorDevuan ascii on my production laptop. (I'm the testing guy, what is better then test in production ;) )18:08
BeerbelottI am up-to-date on ASCII and I currently have this problem18:09
BeerbelottI remember having had it a long time ago18:09
KatolaZBeerbelott: which login manager are you using?18:09
BeerbelottI applied a fix (switching some packages AFAIR) and now... this problem again18:10
KatolaZTuor: we will be soon start testing Beowulf :D18:10
Beerbelottdunno, I am using stock UI (XFCE) nothing customized How can I check that?18:10
KatolaZBeerbelott: have you recently removed/installed other packages?18:10
BeerbelottI recently did upgrade + dist-upgrade yup to caatch up w/ ASCII release18:11
KatolaZBeerbelott: if you are using XFCE, you should have consolekit and the corresponding libpolkit-1-backend18:12
Beerbelotthttp://paste.debian.net/1029919/18:13
TuorKatolaZ: I would love to use new stuff, but I have to work to, so on my production I need something more or less stable. Can't be fixing problems all day. ;)18:13
Beerbelottii  consolekit                              0.4.6-6                                     amd64        framework for defining and tracking users, sessions and seats18:14
Beerbelottii  libpolkit-backend-consolekit-1-0:amd64  0.105-18+devuan2.11                         amd64        PolicyKit backend API18:14
Beerbelottii  libpolkit-gobject-consolekit-1-0:amd64  0.105-18+devuan2.11                         amd64        PolicyKit Authorization API18:14
BeerbelottKatolaZ: There you got my APT history + currently consolekit-related packages18:14
TuorBut I have to say: It works out of the box. No problem or bug encountered so far. (KDE)18:14
Tuor@devuan Thx for making this possible!18:15
xrogaanI got into a drawer and found an old DVD of Fedora Core 2.19:56
xrogaan14 year old DVD.19:57
* jonadab still has a CheapBytes CD of Debian 1.3.1 at home.19:58
xrogaanThe thing is, when you talk about Fedora Core with your fellow geeks, people might misunderstand and believe you are talking about Football Club. So they would try to listen and wonder "what is that talk in code, what are they sayin'?!"20:02
jonadabNow I have no idea what you're talking about.20:09
ji-ef[m]I seem to hit a bug with apt on Devuan ascii > beowulf migration.20:34
ji-ef[m]iftop says I'm DL from devuan server at about 750KB/s (the sole active connection)20:34
ji-ef[m]apt starts downloading full throttle, then after a while, the speed drops dracstically. But the connection to 151.101.120.204 is still displayed at fullspeed.20:36
ji-ef[m]I'm wondering if apt does not download multiple things at the same time. Either it's not displayed, or it downloads multiple times the same file...20:37
Akulisometimes i wish apt could download and install the packages at the same time, so if i install 100 packages i wouldn't need to first wait until all of them are downloaded and then wait until all of them are installed20:38
ji-ef[m]Right now, it downloads some font package at about 75KB/s while iftop shows me a downloading speed of about 750KB/s from the devuan repository IP20:38
ji-ef[m]When I CTRL+C apt, then relaunch it, It starts downloading fullspeed, then after a while, drops again.20:39
xrogaanji-ef[m]: check disk I/O.20:40
ji-ef[m]when apt starts, I see a lot of [Waiting for headers] flashing on the screen20:40
xrogaanyou can use the `glances' software to monitor your system resources20:41
ji-ef[m]xrogaan:  Can you give me some command, please ?20:41
xrogaantry this in a prompt: watch -t -n 0.1 iostat -d -t -y 5 120:43
xrogaanor glances20:43
ji-ef[m](Can't install glances right now, I have broken packages -- updating to beowulf ๐Ÿ˜›)20:43
xrogaanthe watch one then, with iftop in another prompt20:44
ji-ef[m]Heh found iotop ๐Ÿ™‚Trying it now :p20:45
ji-ef[m]Thanks, I'll come back here when I get something =)20:45
xrogaanyou don't really need iotop, just to see if your disk is busy writing when network stalls.20:46
xrogaanalso iotop doesn't tell you which disk is busy, assuming you have more than one.20:47
ji-ef[m]Well Disks writes match whatever speed apt says20:50
ji-ef[m]iftop is still displaying full speed at devuan server20:50
ji-ef[m]also I get an error on watch cmd : sh: 1: iostat: not found20:54
xrogaanyou don't have sysstat then?20:54
ji-ef[m]sysstat -- I'll check20:55
xrogaanSorry, shouldn't have been a question. iostat is part of sysstat20:56
ji-ef[m]thanks, I installed sysstat ๐Ÿ™‚20:59
ji-ef[m]a bit hard to read from iostat, kB_written/s is fluctuating between nay and a few hundred ...21:01
ji-ef[m]Also, it happens with apt, apt-get and aptitude, I get that the underlying program between these 3 commands is the same...21:04
ji-ef[m]Well. downloading update packages is finished now...21:05
xrogaanmaybe it's the mirror you are connecting to21:05
xrogaantry pkgmaster21:05
xrogaanwait, I don't know the proper url for the master21:06
BeerbelottHello again :)21:06
ji-ef[m]I is already21:06
xrogaanyeah, it's pkgmaster.devuan.org21:06
ji-ef[m]it*21:06
BeerbelottI found the link to the old solution for the libpolkit trouble around shutdown & reboot doing the same as loggin off in UI: https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/20180214.123746.e89eaef8.en.html21:06
ji-ef[m]deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged/ beowulf main contrib non-free21:06
BeerbelottUnfortunately, this message in not available anymore. I wonder if anyone has a backup of it?21:07
BeerbelottIt was even referenced in https://bugs.devuan.org/db/19/192.html21:07
xrogaanji-ef[m]: I don't know then. Maybe pkgmaster is overloaded?21:07
xrogaanfsmithred may know more.21:07
xrogaanbandwidth of pkgmaster is 250Mb/s21:08
ji-ef[m]Yeah, but why the download speed reported by iftop?21:08
BeerbelottKatolaZ:21:08
xrogaanI don't know what "rate" means.21:09
ji-ef[m]also, the whole internet is slow down on my entire local network21:09
ji-ef[m]--not the local network speed, but clearly Internet access to all devices in my LAN21:10
ji-ef[m]this clearly means that the whole internet bandwidth is used...21:11
xrogaanji-ef[m]: are you in bites or bytes?21:12
xrogaanah, if it's local we can't help you :P21:12
ji-ef[m](I'll log out of my KDE session, thanks for your support anyways )21:12
xrogaanyour ISP might be mad at you :)21:13
ji-ef[m]bYtes (iftop -BNnP)21:13
ji-ef[m]> ah, if it's local we can't help you21:14
ji-ef[m]well I wanted to point out that the whole internet BW was used to go to/from pkgmaster21:15
xrogaanwell, if your local network is wonky (not your machine), then you need to catch your network admin and make sure he can't escape while you ask him/her questions.21:15
ji-ef[m]that actually was not reflected in apt DL speed ...21:15
ji-ef[m](See ya later ๐Ÿ™‚and Thanks again =)21:16

underd0gman , I made a total mess of my OS21:53
fsmithredBeerbelott, I think the information you need is in the ascii release notes22:15
fsmithredno, it's not. I'll get the link.22:16

BeerbelottI'll test that again on the problematic PC tomorrow22:19
BeerbelottDefinitely odd to see that come back w/ stable Ascii... ;)22:20

aitorusbmount is used in refracta, isn't it?23:16
aitorpeople are talking about it in the mailing list23:17
Oldmossthose small symbols in red and green with usb sign on23:17
Oldmossyes, those are in refracta. Clickety23:18
Oldmossi've only used refracta with xfce23:21
aitori started warking on a GUI device manager depending on udisks23:21
aitori removed the dependency on libsystemd0, but udisks still depends on dbus23:21
aitorpmount is the best alternative for now23:24
aitori started developing a GUI for pmount in Gtk (not in Gtkmm)23:26
fsmithredhi aitor, hi underd0g23:30
fsmithredno, refracta uses pmount23:30
fsmithredmaybe you're thinking of usbpmount, which is a yad frontend for pmount23:31
aitorhi, fsmithred23:31
aitoryes, i packaged yad for that:23:32
aitorhttp://packages.gnuinos.org/gnuinos/pool/main/y/yad/23:32
fsmithredyou made a gtk2 version?23:33
aitori'm working on that, but yes, it'll be a gtk2 version23:34
underd0ghi fsmithred23:35
underd0gsup23:35
OldmossSorry about that mistake, lack of knowledge on my side, fsmithred23:36
aitori've been looking for a project combinating cmake with multilingual tools: gettext...23:38
aitori remember and old discussion about cmake vs autotools...23:39
aitorin the mailing list23:39
aitori remember roger leight talking about cmake and its use in the schroot project23:41
gnu_srsBeerbelott: You should not have any elogind* packages installed.23:42
aitorleigh*23:42
aitorthe schroot project has both autotools and cmake tools:23:48
aitorhttps://github.com/mickybart/schroot23:48
aitorit uses the *.po files; so, it'll be useful for me23:50
aitortime to bed, see you tomorrow23:52
