gnarfacei'm not familiar with it04:45
mankeletorofficial site have a .deb for debian 9 but im not sure if that could work here04:48
mankeletorhttps://mega.nz/sync04:48
furrywolfI don't like mega, and I certainly wouldn't trust any binaries they provide.04:49
g4570nyes, it should work in Devuan ASCII, install with dpkg -i04:51
mankeletorwell i couldnt get the package from the site04:55
mankeletorhttps://github.com/meganz/MEGAsync04:57
mankeletorim gonna compilate it04:58
mankeletorit worked on rapsbian :P04:59
va7lnxbacking up my home director so I can replace my mobo and install devuan on this desktop :)05:12
mankeletori have devuan installed on my laptop from few hours ago05:14
va7lnxI did that on my laptop a few months back05:14
va7lnxworks great05:14
va7lnxand uses less than half the memory of linux mint05:15
va7lnxso 8GB goes a lot farther.05:15
va7lnxand it's way faster too05:15
mankeletori wonder why the battery icon is showing an exclamation sign05:15
va7lnxsystemd is such a bear05:15

gnarface*instead05:28
mankeletoryes i do05:28
mankeletori used sudo before when i was in mint05:29
Ji-eF[m]To follow up to the problem I had yesterday : it seems to be solved now. Today's updates included openrc, librc1 and libeinfo (0.40.3-1)13:07
Ji-eF[m]my lsmod is back to normal :)13:08
KatolaZJi-eF[m]: the funny thing is that we didn't do anything :)13:26
KatolaZmeaning that we didn't have time to look into the issue and/or make any test13:26
Ji-eF[m]Sure :) thanks anyways ! Not behind my compy now, so i'll say it from memory but openrc update complained about nonexisting unmountrootfs script, so I cp'ed umountrootfs to uNmountrootfs before reboot .13:42
Ji-eF[m]If I can do things and tests for you by this WE, please tell me, I still have eudev and openrc in /var/apt/archives :)13:44
KatolaZmmmhhh13:49
KatolaZthat's strange Ji-eF[m]13:50
KatolaZare you still using the latest eudev?13:50
Ji-eF[m]Hum I'll verify now...14:51
Ji-eF[m]KatolaZ: libeudev1:amd64                               3.2.7-5                            amd6414:53
Ji-eF[m]eudev as well same version14:53
KatolaZoki14:55
KatolaZthanks Ji-eF[m]14:55
ejrok guys, i did something stupid apparently. I wanted to remove some xserver/window manager packages, because i don't want to have the xserver installed anymore. i used apt-get remove xserver* xinit* to remove their packages, but now i cannot even get anything to work properly anymore in a tty. even my wireless is not recognised anymore. There was also a message about openrc configuration appearing shortly.15:48
ejrdoes anybody have an idea what i might need to reinstall?15:48
KatolaZejr: what do you mean?15:51
Ji-eF[m]ejr: did you have openrc already installed ?15:51
ejryes i did15:51
KatolaZcan you login on a console?15:51
ejryes15:51
KatolaZthen you are fine15:51
KatolaZ:)15:51
ejrbut i cannot, for example, start fbterm or w3m (error: can't open frame buffer device! call VESA function 0x4f00 failure! No VESA bios)15:52
ejri am running libreboot but never had any bios/boot issues on this before i removed those packages (whatever they were, i know, it was stupid to not check them in detail)15:53
KatolaZejr: id they work before?15:53
KatolaZ~did15:53
KatolaZfmterm and w3m?15:53
KatolaZfbterm and w3m?15:53
ejryes15:53
KatolaZjust check if you have an active fb device15:54
ejroh, and wlan0 is not there anymore either15:54
KatolaZejr: what did you use to configure wifi before?15:54
ejrjust the interfaces file with wpa_supplicant15:54
KatolaZis the wifi card kernel module loaded?15:55
ejrhow do i check?15:55
KatolaZlsmod?15:56
ejrno it isnt15:57
KatolaZthen load it15:58
KatolaZ(modprobe)16:01
ejrhmm, either i am too dumb to find it in the list, or it isnt there16:01
ejrit's an atheros wireless device but i cannot see it in lsmod, only in lspci16:01
KatolaZload it16:01
KatolaZmodprobe16:01
ejri don't know it's name16:02
KatolaZstart writing16:02
ejr(it's not "atheros", that's just what it says in lspci)16:02
KatolaZmodprobe ath[TAB][TAB]16:02
Ji-eF[m]ejr: if you have bash-completion, yse tab-completion16:03
Ji-eF[m]use**16:03
ejryeah, then it shows ath and ath3k,ath5k etc. i loaded "ath", that sounds the most correct to me16:03
ejrstill no wlan0 in ifconfig or iwconfig though16:03
KatolaZejr: look for your model in dmesg16:04
KatolaZit should have been loaded at boot time tbh16:04
KatolaZejr: do you have a running eudev?16:04
KatolaZthis is unrelated to networking though16:05
ejrahh, that's it i think :) just started eudev service, now wlan0 appears. let's see about the rest16:05
ejryeah, now everything works again :D16:06
KatolaZhow comes it was not running?16:06
KatolaZo_O16:06
ejrthanks a lot! but i wonder why eudev was deactivated. In general, I have some issues with services starting correctly on this installation (ascii). If you remember, last week I had the weird tor daemon issues that didnt start properly. It was due to "lo" not running.16:06
KatolaZejr: dunno16:07
Ji-eF[m]KatolaZ: about eudev : yesterday, it was complaining about something related to kvm when I was trying "service eudev restart" . Does it ring some bells ?16:07
ejri wasn't on the machine in the last days but still haven't fixed the lo to work properly, doing that manually with ifconfig lo down && ifconfig lo up so far. also networking and/or network-manager don't start automativellay16:07
KatolaZJi-eF[m]: it's unrelated since ejr is on ascii16:07
ejrsorry, ceres!16:08
KatolaZejr: what do you have in /etc/network/interfaces?16:08
KatolaZo_O16:08
ejrKatolaZ: auto lo / iface lo inet loopback / allow-hotplug wlan0 / iface wlan0 inet dhcp (plus two lines with wpa-ssid and wpa-psk)16:09
ejrbtw, also the kernel that came with ceres does not work when I use it, so far I am always manually selecting 4.9 which still works. when I use 4.19 I get errors about EFI_MEMMAP not being enabled (again, no UEFI here - libreboot)16:12
ejrthat's not much of a problem though except that I still need to edit the grub config so that it automatically select the right kernel, or remove the old one if that doesn't cause any problems16:12
KatolaZejr: does the error affects how the machine work?16:14
KatolaZor is it just a warning in dmesg?16:14
ejryeah, it doesnt work at all with that kernel. the moment the console login appears, the upper quarter of the screen adapts weird colours as if it's physically broken, and the system freezes at that moment16:15
ejrwould it be safe to just remove that kernel (apt-get remove linux-image-4.19*) as long as i have 4.9 installed?16:17
KatolaZejr: if you are not running it, how could that be dangerous?16:17
KatolaZ:)16:18
ejryeah, just wondering because apparently it came with the base installation.16:19
Achyllesany devuan .iso project for installing it in the new-coming-soon pinebook pro?16:19
ejrbtw, how do i get eudev and networking to start automatically at boot? it has to do with runlevels apparently, and i seem to have mine mixed up now...16:20
Achyllesit would be great to install devuan on that machine...16:20
KatolaZejr: have you mangled with runlevels/openrc config?16:21
Achylleshttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_S3A3OmpLpnLTIRnhK31IDZOonq2-CFGIxT1fgM5GqY/edit#gid=016:21
KatolaZAchylles: I don't think we have seen any of those so far :)16:22
ejrKatolaZ: no, that's why i am surprised eudev suddenly doesnt work. I had the networking issue before with lo not working properly though (with a ? instead of a - or + next to its service status)16:22
KatolaZAchylles: are they actually shipping?16:23
Achyllespeople say they will be shipped soon16:23
KatolaZAchylles: they have been saying that for the best part of the last three years :)16:24
AchyllesJust got that info from #hardware16:24
KatolaZgood16:24
Achylleshttps://liliputing.com/2019/01/pinebook-pro-linux-laptop-coming-this-year-for-199-and-up.html16:26
KatolaZAchylles: the site requires adcoockies16:27
KatolaZsorry but I won't consent16:27
KatolaZ:)16:27
MinceRthe article disappears if i don't let them spy on me16:27
MinceRfuck liliputing16:27
MinceRhere's an archive without the web-based malware, though >> http://archive.is/5GXa716:28
MinceRalso, they misspelled "systemd" as "GNU/Linux"16:29
AchyllesKatolaZ, what is your blocking extension?16:30
Achyllesnoscript?16:30
KatolaZAchylles: I don't accept cookie by default16:30
KatolaZand the site complaints16:30
KatolaZif you just don't accept cookies, they will complain16:30
MinceRi said "Learn More", "REJECT ALL" (i think everything was already disabled), then i got the article for a moment, then i got a lecture with some RECONSIDER button instead16:31
Achyllesright, firefox preferences?16:31
MinceRbut they haven't blcocked archive.is yet16:31
MinceRs/lc/l/16:31
KatolaZAchylles: surf16:32
Achyllesyou can use elinks then...16:33
KatolaZif I want, yes16:33
KatolaZbut surf has some graphics16:34
KatolaZ:)16:34
Achyllesanyways, hope that pinebook pro comes out and we, in the future, have a devuan_pinebook.iso for that ;)16:34
KatolaZAchylles: this is improbable, unless we do have a pinebook to test the images on...16:35
Achyllesimprobable to have a pinebook?16:35
Achyllesor a pinebook pro, since it is only a hearsay?16:36
nemoAchylles: I have a pinebook.16:37
nemoMy main issue with it has been graphics acceleration ☹16:37
nemoseems more messed up than the usual for arm16:38
Achylleswith devuan?16:38
nemoAchylles: I haven't tried devuan yet. I'm too chicken.  but maybe I should. clearly their default image is not much better16:38
nemoshould just pop out the SD and make a new one16:38
Achyllesperhaps you should and share your experience...16:39
nemofine fine. it's not doing anything useful right now16:39
nemoI'd bought it to get my SO off her chromebook, but the graphics acceleration has been too much of a mess to even consider it16:39
Achyllesperhaps the pro version will fix it. If ever it comes out. Who knows16:41
nemoI might try a *clean* pinebook image first. just to verify it didn't get messed up in apt-get update too16:41
ejrcould you guys have a look at my dmesg log and tell me whether the pci warnings (or perhaps other messages) are still worrisome? https://termbin.com/e3nj16:41
AchyllesAnyway which laptop would fit better for devuan these days? Lenovo?16:41
nemoAchylles: the other laptop I bought for her is stuck on the fact that even though I finally got debian kernel team to bump the flag her touchpad needed, it's still not in stable-backports ☹16:43
nemoAchylles: a year and a half later :/16:43
nemobeginning to think it never will be16:43
nemoAchylles: so I use a forced-in unstable kernel that I have to reinstall the headers for after every update16:43
nemolessee what laptop *that* is ☺16:44
nemobut I think it's lenovo ☺16:44
AchyllesKatolaZ, I just installed surf, but in my stumpwm it only shows a blank page :(16:48
DocScrutinizer05>><KatolaZ> humma: user@10.0.0.3:~/devuan-logo-purpy.txt<< don't do that! ~ is local16:49
AchyllesI will see if that opens in xfce416:51
xxzzhi, does apparmor work in Devuan?16:56
DocScrutinizer05what you want is user@10.0.0.3:/home/user/devuan-logo-purpy.txt17:01
djphDocScrutinizer05: user@host: starts in $HOME ...17:16
James1138I hope these may help a little with finding drivers for Lenovo/Thinkpads... https://launchpad.net/~linrunner/+ppa-packages17:23
nemoxxzz keeps asking about apparmour but I have no freakin' idea. I'm guess the answer is "does debian support apparmour"18:02
errandir1I don't know anybody who keeps apparmour enabled (in any distro)18:21
KatolaZnemo: apparmor is enabled in buster/beowulf18:25
gggheya ! I have an issue with the usb key installer. My laptop is an Asus UX333 (recent model). Parrot OS works, but the Devuan key isn't recognized as a bootable USB. The key works with an older laptop. Any help appreciated !.18:43
ggg(tried both dvd and netinst, Ascii iso)18:44
nemoKatolaZ: m'k welp. he's been asking once a day, I'll file that way18:48
KatolaZnemo: ?18:52
KatolaZnemo: you can enable or disable apparmor18:53
KatolaZjust stop it or remove it to "disable" it18:53
nemoKatolaZ: yeah dunno. he just keeps asking:19:15
nemo10:56 < xxzz> hi, does apparmor work in Devuan?19:15
nemoI guess he's asking if it's maintained in debian kernels? dunno19:15
ggg> mfw this piece of shit (Asus UX333) won't even boot gentoo. Asus worse than Apple now. hurray19:53
ezcapeAll I want for Christmas is Devuan :)20:33
ezcaperunning MX Linux now, and ircd is installed together with ntpd, which is running20:51
ezcapedo not like20:51
ezcapecan uninstall though, but I do not see why at least ircd is installed20:52
ezcapecan I use this guide for Devuan too? https://mxlinux.org/wiki/system/compiling-and-installing-new-kernel20:52
ezcapehad to install bison and flex too. so the guide is not 100%20:53
watchcatapparmor is a dependency of the 4.19 kernel in ascii backports. seem to work ok, or at least hasn't caused any problems i'm aware of.20:59
ejrhow can i remove configurations files of packages that were once installed?21:00
Jjp137apt-get purge package21:01
ejrthanks21:02
nemoow. a combination of vmware view and gvfsd-mtp caused a ton of process spam to dmesg21:18
nemoafter just a few minutes before I thought to kill gvfsd-mtp and remove its execute privs, each of the relevant logs in /var/log was 10 gigs in size21:18
ezcapeall alone in #devuan-offtopic :(21:54
DonkeyHoteibecause the channel is #debianfork21:54
ezcapeDonkeyHotei: thanks :)21:55
ezcapepossible to install cryptsetup 2.1 from source?22:04
ezcapewill it upgrade the 1.7.x?22:04
ezcapegot a disk with luks2...22:04
fsmithredezcape, better to create a debian package than to install pure source22:09
fsmithredthat way the package manager knows what's going on22:10
gnarface2.0.6 is in ceres22:10
fsmithredand beowulf22:10
ezcapefsmithred: thank you :D22:15
ezcapedo I upgrade to testing after install?22:15
ezcapethank gnarface :D22:15
ezcapes22:15
ezcapelike with Slack22:16
gnarfaceezcape: just to be clear, i think you should stick with trying to build it for ascii, but i think you should try to build the source package from beowulf or ceres first before the upstream source22:16
ezcapegnarface: I see. thank you :D22:17
gnarfacejust upgrading to beowulf or ceres would be theoretically an option but probably also a lot more trouble than it sounds like22:17
ezcapenice to know :)22:17
