gnarfacewell, chances are you just didn't complete the upgrade00:01
gnarfacebut there's a lot of things that you could theoretically have done to cause this00:01
maxrazerI did upgrade, but not dist-upgrade.00:01
maxrazerThe install was jesse and I tried to upgrade to ceres.00:01
gnarfaceprobably would have been wiser to fully upgrade to ascii first00:02
golinuxmaxrazer: Take a look at this post: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=230100:02
maxrazerI was surprised it was not ascii. It was a fresh download iso00:02
golinuxBothe ascci and jessie iso are available00:02
golinuxDid you read the release notes in the download directory?00:03
maxrazerI didn't read any release notes.00:03
golinuxSo you'd rather shoot yourself on the foot?00:04
golinuxThere is a LOT on info in there to save headaches like you're experiencing.00:05
golinuxDo read that thread on the forum posted above.00:05
maxrazerOk, I see the txt file now.00:05
maxrazerSo, running Devuan Ceres may have issues where I can't just use the resources and upgrade from current.00:10
maxrazer"Right now, merged/beowulf and merged/ceres is not functioning the same way as the Debian buster and sid branches. It seems that Devuan specific packages are not trickling down fast enough from experimental to unstable to testing. I can well imagine that the Devuan-Project just simply does not have the resources and manpower to do it any faster.00:10
maxrazer"00:10
maxrazerDoes this just pertain to testing though? Because I don't care about testing. He mentions Beowulf, not Ceres.00:11
gnarfacemaxrazer: a small few packages will need to be rebuilt for ceres too.  as far as i know that's automatic but not instant.00:15
gnarfacei should say usually automatic even00:15
gnarfacei'm sure manual intervention is necessary sometimes too00:15
maxrazerI'm going to try upgrading from ascii and see what happens.00:16
gnarfaceare you doing a fresh install?00:16
maxrazeryes00:16
gnarfaceor repairing the existing one?00:16
gnarfaceif it's a fresh install, try to do ascii headless.  don't install all your GUI stuff until after you have ceres booting00:16
gnarfacetry to get the upgrade done without any graphical environment00:17
gnarfacethat will avoid most the problems with userspace.  that may even allow you to upgrade to beowulf first which would be the official process if this were debian and beowulf weren't so very broken currently00:17
golinuxmaxrazer: Did you read it or just dismiss it?00:17
maxrazerYeah, I was thinking of not installing the desktop environment to be faster anyway.00:18
gnarfaceyea, also read that link00:18
golinuxYou have to keep some ascii p[ackages that are new than in beowulf and ceres.00:18
maxrazerThe web post doesn't specifically say ceres, it says beowolf.00:18
golinuxYou havwv to make the adjusts for beowulf for ceres to work.00:18
maxrazerOh, the same problems.00:19
golinuxSome ascii pkgs are newer.  Now we're starting to build them for ceres but earlier thy went directly into the stable release.00:20
maxrazerThat isn't obvious because testing is often lags behind unstable, which is why I don't use it.00:20
golinuxOur workflow has been different.  You can't do what you've always done.00:21
golinuxHopefully that will be straightened out by the beowulf release.00:21
maxrazerOk, good to know, thanks.00:21
golinuxAlso, don't use "stable" or "testing" in your sources list.  Always use the <releasename?00:22
golinuxSorry for all the typos.00:22
maxrazerI put Ceres. I saw something saying not to use the Suite name.00:23
golinuxI was told that "unstable" will work but "ceres" will too because is never changes.00:24
golinuxis > it00:24
golinuxAre you using deb.devuan.org in your sources?00:24
maxrazerI think I was. It was the default00:25
golinuxThe RC used pkgmaster00:26
golinuxThe release notes explains all of that.00:26
golinuxafk00:28
CriggieSad - there is no devuan AMI in AWS community marketplace.02:55
rrqI made a Devuan ascii.. at ireland and sydney...03:48
Xenguyo/~ In Scotland, where my heart lies ... o/~03:59
Xenguyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FE6JTtCLK004:03
Criggierrq: oh so they're restricted to lcoation ?   Yeah that makes sense I guess.04:11
nimbiushey devuan, is there some option for a minimal installation?04:43
nimbiusthe wifi/network manager in the default desktop manager is making my shit itch.04:43
gnarfacenimbius: do an expert-mode install, and when you get to tasksel just uncheck all the boxes04:44
gnarface(that's the same as Debian)04:44
nimbiusgnarface: thanks!! :)04:44
gnarfaceno problem04:44
grillonhi there08:02
golinuxHowdy08:20
meowschwitzoh boy this place got a lot bigger since the last time11:16
filipdevuan_nice11:37
devoid_hey meowschwitz13:44
yaphi14:24
meowschwitzI AM MEOWSCHWITZ14:26
meowschwitzI mean hi14:26
meowschwitzoh wrong channel14:26
meowschwitz:<14:26
filipdevuan_hello, is there something like a battery manager here on devuan??15:05
filipdevuan_and open-source free radio app15:05
Anselmolike, SDR radio orlike, online radio streaming ?15:06
filipdevuan_what's sdre radio??15:06
Anselmolike, if you have a physical radio plugged into your computer15:06
Anselmosoftware-defined-radio15:07
Anselmomost music players I've used on linux do support radio streams from the internet15:07
filipdevuan_ohh something like online radio streaming but opensource or just free dunno15:07
Anselmoif you're into graphical programs clementine would probably work for that15:08
Anselmoabout batteries I dont know so much, usually I just look at  acpi if I need that15:09
filipdevuan_ok thanks :)15:09
gnarfaceacpi -b15:11
gnarfacelots of window managers have their own built-in battery meters though15:12
AnselmoI bet lots of them just call acpi . . . :P15:12
nemofilipdevuan_: my problem has been that the built-in battery reporting in MATE relies on upower which appears to be misreporting my battery state15:18
nemosooo gotta figure out how to either fix upower or change where mate gets its info from15:18
nemo(at least on this pinebook)15:19
fil_ok i downloaded something like TLP for a battery stuff15:19
fil_sorry i got disconnected15:22
nemofil_: if you're just wondering what your batteries charge status is, TLP is probably overkill15:23
nemobut I guess battery manager is a bit ambiguous15:24
fil_uhmm i basically annoys me when i have got laptop turned on and no battery connected and then system just shuts down but i remember on windows 10 it was just suspending for like 5-10 mins before shutting down15:24
furrymcgeeupower is a daemon for power management15:30
nemofurrymcgee: ok?15:38
nemofurrymcgee: well reporting, not management but anyway15:38
nemofil_: I'm having a hard time understanding what you describe15:40
nemohow could the laptop work at all with no battery connected, unless you mean plugged in on AC but no battery in which case why would it ever suspend15:40
Anselmooh, I think its like, on windows it recognizes like, 5 minutes till the batteries empty, and decides to go to sleep15:42
nemoAnselmo: ok but what did he mean by "no battery connected"15:42
nemoAnselmo: anyway, that stuff's usually handled by the window manager - like if you're in MATE (or KDE or Gnome) you can configure that in settings and the defaults are usually sensible15:42
nemo... unless the underlying layer is misreporting which is my problem on the pinebook right now15:43
Anselmoit might mean no battery with charge, leading to shutting down suggenly because no power to draw15:43
nemook was confused by "connected"15:43
Anselmobut this is a guess that fil_ could explain infinitly better than me15:43
Anselmoalso yeah, I just dont know the names of the tools, though actually that is something I should setup on my laptop . .15:44
nemomy main problem with devuan was suspend-when-closing-lid not working properly - but frankly there was like a 10% chance that failed on the ubuntu I had on here previously.15:45
nemoso someone here suggested just binding power button to suspend which works fine for my purposes15:45
nemopress button once before closing lid15:45
nemothe random failures in past had me overheating the poor laptop in its backpack before15:46
Anselmomm15:46
Anselmoha15:46
nemomight not have been random on reflection. maybe MATE was ignoring suspend when screensaver was active or something stupid like that. but oh well whatever15:47
fil_yeah Anselmo this is what i meant. if i get info about battery dying to 0% soon on windows it just gonna suspend for a bit and then when i connect AC to the laptop it starts again from suspend here on devuan it just turns off completely :P15:48
nemofil_: yeah. I'd say that's something to look into in your desktop environment - which one are you using?15:49
fil_xfce15:49
fil_but i also have e1715:49
nemoah...15:49
fil_i get that on both of em though15:50
nemohaven't used XFCE in a long while, so don't remember what their settings are15:50
fil_yeah no problem ;)15:50
nemobut yeah. most desktops have some sort of power manager15:50
fil_oh okay15:50
fil_there is xfce power manager oh silly me15:50
nemolike in MATE it is mate-power-preferences for settings15:50
nemomm15:50
fil_i can change the battery powel level and then: action ;D15:51
nemohehe15:51
nemoyeeeep15:51
fil_okay silly me, thanks!15:51
nemosurprised it didn't have good defaults though15:51
Anselmohrm15:52
fil_:)15:52
MinceR/lc/lc15:53
MinceRdisregard that15:53
premobosshello, i got strange behaviour in the channel, may i talk with an admin?17:11
nailykso firefox-esr switched to quantum? Is there any chance to have the previous release into our reprository please ?17:17
nemonailyk: preeeetty sure debian is not a fan of distributing software without security patching17:21
nailykam not talking about security but instability xD17:21
nailykthanks =)17:22
nemonailyk: if you want non-quantum (I still have it myself on ONE profile due to an addon I don't want to give up) you probably should just keep it in your home after grabbing a zip from mozilla17:22
nemonailyk: I'm certainly aware of your reasons and I sympathise, but it would just be a bad idea17:22
nailykare you using kee too ?17:22
nemonailyk: hell. I know I'm running a risk, but I do it anyway. I do run NoScript and keep my browsing in that profile to a minimum17:22
nemonailyk: naw17:22
nemowhat is kee17:22
golinuxpremoboss: That is probably because of the changes to keep spam under control17:22
nailykI agree, but as they are leaving my issue alone, I dont know what to do17:23
nailyknemo: kee is keepass to firefox integration (kee.org)17:23
nailykforget about kee.org17:23
nailykkee.pm17:24
premobossgolinux, i was ckecked off bay the channel, when i try to log in againg, i got reply "this nickname is already in use".17:25
premobossi was afraid someone stole my identity password.17:26
nemonailyk: hmm looks like they have a quantum version of kee?17:28
nemohttps://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/keefox/  seems to be installable in my firefox nightly anyway17:29
nailykyes, but this cause network issues in firefox17:29
nailyklooks like I am the only one to complain about xD. Btw noscript is working fine on nightly.17:29
golinuxpremoboss: Hmmm . . . have you registered your nick?  That would prevent someone else from using it.17:47
premobossgolinux, of course i have a registered nick. if were not, i cannot join many channel.17:48
golinuxRight.17:48
premobossi registered months ago.17:48
golinuxMaybe the previous connection was not closed down properly.17:49
golinuxBut you're here now, right? So let us know if it happens again.17:50
premobossgolinux, ok.17:50
golinuxMaybe ping buZz.  He knows much more that I.17:51
buZz?17:52
premobossthe probme is that about 90 mins ago the connection appared dropped, when i log back again, the channel refused me telling that the nick was already in use. so i suspected someon can inperonate me. or maybe the login stay there as "gost" in channel and avaiod to me to connect.17:52
buZzpremoboss: sometimes on a bad reconnection (or serversplit) your nickname can get stuck17:52
premobossbuZz, ok.17:52
buZzpremoboss: if you use SASL to login to freenode, you automatically regain, so never have the wrong nickname17:52
buZzbut i agree, its a mess sometimes17:53
buZzeven i get booted out of channels i've been in many years17:53
filipdevuan_hey id like to teach myself bash shell scripts i started with this website http://www.freeos.com/guides/lsst/ch02sec01.html20:25
kekePowerfilipdevuan_: Any start is a good start :-)20:34
kekePowerYou can't become great unless you start.20:34
filipdevuan_hahah i named my script called kek yesterday xD. now when i type bash kek i get exact date and clock :)20:34
Anselmohaha20:35
unixmanfilipdevuan_, http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide20:35
filipdevuan_ok cheers i like bash :)20:35
Anselmoare you trying to learn shell scripting, or the shell ?20:35
unixmanfilipdevuan_, also #bash on Freenode.20:35
Anselmoas there's sort of a small difference :P20:36
filipdevuan_uhmm probably scripting but i dont know what u mean by learning shell?20:36
filipdevuan_ok cheers :020:36
filipdevuan_:)20:36
Anselmowell, like, just using the shell vs writing scripts for it20:36
kekePowerI swithced to zsh a few years back. It's close enough to bash, but IMHO, has some strenghts that bash doesn't20:36
Anselmoits basically the same, just interactive or not20:36
filipdevuan_oh well i would like to have ability to learn writing various scripts cuz i think writing scripts is cool :)20:36
Anselmo:320:37
kekePowerfilipdevuan_: it sure is :-)20:37
filipdevuan_yeah :D20:37
filipdevuan_but id like to learn both i guess cuz i use gnu linux now as my primary distro ;P20:37
furrymcgeebash has too many functions start with sh20:38
filipdevuan_so im hoping to learn stuff that on windows is not a possibilty20:38
Anselmommm20:38
kekePowerfilipdevuan_: You'll find you will write scripts of various lengths to automate something you could do with 2 or 3 command line punches :-)20:38
Anselmosh is also handy for wide compatibility . . .20:38
filipdevuan_yeah like script they mentioned here at the bottom of the page :) http://www.freeos.com/guides/lsst/ch02sec01.html20:38
Anselmoso you can use posix things rather than just bashisms20:38
kekePowerAnselmo: Compatability is only an issue if one wants to publish a script20:38
Anselmocompatibility is an issue for me, in distributing scripts between all the systems I use20:39
filipdevuan_by the way i wonder if there's something like being able to create free and open-source website that wouldn't appear on google???20:39
kekePowerbut you can't rely on sh on some systems as it symlinks to bash. I.e. Fedora20:40
Anselmobash supports all the posix things20:40
kekePowerunless this symlinking makes bash go into sh compatability mode20:40
Anselmoor nearly all of them20:40
filipdevuan_yeah fedora is quite nice i used it for a while in the past but tracker apps put me off20:40
furrymcgeeman sh is 1540 lines, man bash 5686 lines20:40
kekePowerI've found that learning how to script is a lifetime venture20:41
Anselmotypically a good script for /bin/sh should work for /bin/bash as well20:41
filipdevuan_yeah i feel like i just started i got into scripts cuz in the past there were bots that were playing the game for you20:41
filipdevuan_and there were scripts for each character and the actions and i found that exciting20:41
kekePowerAnselmo: So you know sh and it's limitations? So when you script, you don't fall into the trap of using something bash?20:42
kekePowers/it's/its20:42
filipdevuan_but iv read somewhere if u wanna get good at something you need to train it or learn specific subject for about 10 years before u get good enough ;D20:42
Anselmomy regular shell is ksh, if I am writing a script I dont test it on bash, so if I over use bash features, they will come pu as errors20:43
Anselmoso, I mean, to some degree, yes,20:43
kekePower:-)20:43
AnselmoI'm by no means a master of unix shell scripting but I know enough to get by20:43
kekePowerAnselmo: So you hack on something until it works :-)20:43
* kekePower has pulled a lot of hair over a typo20:44
Anselmoehh, I mean, I think you should always test things before actually using them :P20:44
kekePoweryeah20:44
Anselmoand its just a matter of keeping all your languages straight at some point20:45
Anselmoits rarethat I start trying to write lisp in a unix shell :P20:46
filipdevuan_so is there sometjing like free open-source website??20:46
Anselmofilipdevuan_, uhm, if you mean not being indexed by google, I think google bots respect robots.txt20:46
Anselmoand you can generate a website with free software, of course20:46
filipdevuan_okay :)20:47
Anselmoand run it on any number of free software httpds20:47
filipdevuan_yeah i really want to learn about how to make a website20:47
filipdevuan_just a website for being able to identify myself on internet20:47
filipdevuan_yeah20:47
filipdevuan_what about writing scripts for websites???20:48
kekePowerfilipdevuan_: You can, if you want, re-invent the wheel20:48
filipdevuan_what do you mean??20:48
kekePowerfilipdevuan_: but there are a lot of options out there you can use20:48
filipdevuan_yeah20:49
filipdevuan_like i think wordpress is too easy even though its open source not sure if its free though20:49
Anselmoehh,when I was looking at setting up my website I figured it would probably take me as long to find a sitebuilder thing that I liked, learn to use it, and write a site in it that I liked, as it would to write my own site generater with all the things I wanted -_-20:49
Anselmoso I wrote my own :P20:49
kekePoweryou can write in Markdown and use discount to generate HTML20:50
Anselmobut filipdevuan_, you can even just write up your own html and css (or php or (please not) javascript), or you could find any of a number of static website generators to make a nice html page20:50
kekePowerthen cat a header and a footer to create a complete looking page20:50
Anselmoultimately that's all any website really is, just a bunch of html20:50
kekePowerI was searching a lot for a CMS that could export to HTML so I could use the database features on a backend machine and not bog down my public facing server with some sort of scripting language20:52
filipdevuan_yeah im not gonna use javascript i dont wanna be evil i feel like unexperienced advocate of free open source software20:52
filipdevuan_;d20:52
Anselmoha ^_^20:52
filipdevuan_because i have optimus nvidia gpu at the moment in the laptop i think i may try to configure using nouveau drivers instead of proprietary nvidia someday20:53
filipdevuan_here on devuan20:54
filipdevuan_im also very aware of companies mining data about me like google and others....20:55
kekePowerfilipdevuan_: the nvidia driver uses less battery than the nouveau one in my experience20:55
filipdevuan_oh right well...20:55
filipdevuan_i wonder why ;P20:55
filipdevuan_lack of scripts? :P20:55
filipdevuan_for nouveavu drivers of course20:55
kekePowerfilipdevuan_: you can also set your DNS servers to the cloudflare ones: 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.0.120:55
filipdevuan_why?20:56
kekePowerfilipdevuan_: because they're fast and they don't mine data like some of the others does20:56
filipdevuan_i have no idea how to change dns on devuan20:56
Anselmoor you coulduse opennic20:56
filipdevuan_but i avoid popular distros because they have google dns set by default at least some of em manjaro antergos and arch based distros20:57
Anselmoor something like it, rather than trusting cloudfare to not lie  . ..20:57
kekePowerI've found that the one supplied with my router is too slow20:57
filipdevuan_yeah id love to if i knew how to change dns ;d20:57
Anselmofilipdevuan_: usually, in /etc/resolv.conf20:57
Anselmothere are a number of lines like20:57
Anselmonameserver 321.4381.213.2420:57
Anselmowhich specify nameservers at that ip address20:57
kekePoweror /etc/resolvconf.d/base20:58
Anselmobut usually they're generated somewhere, I dont recall how devuan does it x-x20:58
filipdevuan_i only have nameserver 192.186.0.1 here in resolv.conf20:58
Anselmothat's related to your router probably20:58
kekePowerfilipdevuan_: that's prolly your router20:58
filipdevuan_yeah ;)20:58
fsmithredif you have a router, you probably have your ISP's dns set there.20:58
fsmithredand resolv.conf just points to the router20:59
filipdevuan_yeah well. i remember when i installed manjaro they had google dns and i deleted it from resolv.conf and then my os didnt wanna to start lol so i had to delete it and install another one20:59
Anselmowat20:59
fsmithredthere are other ways to fix that20:59
filipdevuan_yeah maybe but i havent got patience i just had black screen nothing else when it booted21:00
fsmithredthat would have been caused by something else21:00
Anselmoyeah -_-21:00
filipdevuan_and i think it was because i messed dns in resolv.conf in systemd folder21:00
AnselmoI dont think devuan should do that21:00
fsmithredno, wrong dns won't give you black screen21:00
filipdevuan_nah i dont like google however iv been reading a book about them for two days now haha called google story or something21:01
filipdevuan_i read that one of this guy who created it wanted to download whole web to his computer and he was mining data too... i dont think mining data is nice21:01
filipdevuan_but that was in 90s i think21:01
filipdevuan_they mentioned some search engines like altavista or something21:02
filipdevuan_yeah maybe it doesnt matter i didnt like this manjaro i dont like distros that look too sweet if u know what i mean21:02
richardonnaydatamining is no joke21:03
kekePowerit's a billion dollar business21:03
richardonnayfilipdevuan_: you made a good choice escaping systemd and coming to the deb side21:04
filipdevuan_yeah but i mean in 90s he was data mining and saying that wants to get whole web downloaded while in uni21:04
filipdevuan_yeah thanks :) i think that too ;)21:04
filipdevuan_i think i still remember the day when i discovered website boykottsystemd or something like that and found devuan on systemd free distros list21:04
Anselmowell, back then it might have been feasible x-x21:04
filipdevuan_http://without-systemd.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page21:04
filipdevuan_yeah probably21:05
filipdevuan_i dont even know how to download websites from internet i think i can only download single pages....21:05
kekePowerI'm using a Devuan spin called Miyolinux and have hacked it to use as little battery as possible. Right now I've achived around 10w discharge.21:06
filipdevuan_oh yeah im worried about my laptop battery as well... would love to tweak it a bit...21:06
richardonnayfilipdevuan_: wget recursively.21:06
kekePowerit's only usable as a typewriter, basically :-)21:06
filipdevuan_oh thanks ;)21:06
filipdevuan_yeah my battery is not impressive and its built-in to laptop i think so i cant even replace it i think21:07
Anselmooh x-x21:07
filipdevuan_and i use european cable but im in england and they have different sockets and perhaps different voltages as well so not sure if its good for battery21:07
Anselmosome of those you can replace, you just need a screwdriver and some patience21:07
filipdevuan_okay :)21:08
kekePoweranywhere I can follow the development of Devuan?21:09
kekePowerfound it21:11
* kekePower was just being lazy21:11
filipdevuan_can u share your link :)21:13
kekePowerhttps://devuan.org/os/development21:16
filipdevuan_thanks21:44
kekePowerde nada21:51
