not-a-birdHey, what are the "console productivity tools" at install time?05:00
not-a-birdI dont know if it's just the minimal/text install that has the option or if the others do...05:09
fsmithrednot-a-bird, run: aptitude -s install task-console-productivity05:09
fsmithredit's in the installer.05:10
not-a-birdIs there a non aptitude equivalent?05:10
fsmithrednot limited to minimal05:10
fsmithredprobably05:10
fsmithredapt-get -s05:10
fsmithredbut aptitude gives easier to read output05:10
not-a-birdOh, I can apt-cache show it05:10
fsmithredI guess apt -s works, too05:10
fsmithredoh yeah05:11
not-a-birdI was sitting next to a friend that was installing it.05:11
not-a-birdBut I didn't know what stuff that option would install, so they skipped it.05:11
fsmithredsome of the packages will be installed with other tasks, too05:13
not-a-birdDid the log bot die?  I was going to send them a link to this conversation.05:13
not-a-birdBut it only shows up to early this morning.05:13
fsmithredI think that's normal05:13
fsmithrednot sure, though05:13
fsmithredI don't have the link with me. Can you post it, please?05:14
not-a-birdOh, it just updated, slightly...05:14
not-a-birdGuess I just need to wait for it.05:14
fsmithredI've got the last 17 hours. Something in particular you want?05:16
not-a-birdNah, it just finished updating.05:16
not-a-birdI've got a live view now.05:17
not-a-birdI just wanted to send this snippet of conversation to the new devuan user.05:17
not-a-birdTheir install wasn't quite done when we parted ways.05:17
fsmithredI always feel like that for about two weeks after an install05:18
not-a-birdheh05:18
not-a-birdYeah05:18
not-a-birdalso: https://botbot.me/freenode/devuan/2018-07-21/?page=105:20
not-a-birdThat's the link I was using.05:20
not-a-birdIt's working just fine, I was simply impatient.05:21
fsmithredoh yeah, that one. I forgot about it. There's another one, too.05:21
fsmithreddid they fix search?05:21
not-a-birdNope.05:21
not-a-birdStill missing.05:21
fsmithredtoo bad. That was useful.05:21
fsmithredthe new one might have search, but the link is on another computer, far away.05:22
fsmithredoh, maybe I do have it.05:23

fsmithrednot-a-bird, ^^^ (and search works)05:29
not-a-birdcool, thanks05:35
VallHello everyone... having a hard time here installing Devuan ASCII on my brand-new HP Zbook 17 G4 laptop. Lots of things (Fn-keys for controlling screen brightness and sound volume, for example) don't work... :-( What's worse, Ubuntu 18.04 works right out of the box16:56
VallCan anyone help?16:56
muepold OS + brand-new hardware is often a bit tricky combination. if there is a backport of a more recent kernel available for ascii, you could try that16:58
Vallmuep: thanks for the tip16:59
Vall`uname -a` on Ubuntu reports a "Linux ubuntu 4.15.0.20-generic" kernel.17:00
VallWhat would be the most similar bpo kernel?17:01
muepI would not necessarily look for most similar. just as new as you can get17:01
Vallmuep17:05
VallOK, thanks17:05
patrickrGot devuan running on my c201. Can't get ASCII going, jessie was no problem. Except I wasn't able to resize the partition. Any instructions on ASCII installs on the c201 or a work-around for the resizing?22:37
patrickrI'll check the chanlog later, going to upgrade to ASCII and see if its a resize2fs version problem.22:56
