| OneManHateGroup | Hi everybody... I've been over and over the instructions on how to mount a usb drive rw, but can't do it | 03:33 |
|---|---|---|
| OneManHateGroup | all I want to do is copy files to my external hdd | 03:34 |
| OneManHateGroup | everytime I chmod it copies files measured in kb/s | 03:35 |
| OneManHateGroup | This is so annoying... Why can't I format a drive and have it be available to all users and not owned by root | 03:36 |
| OneManHateGroup | ? | 03:36 |
| Xenguy | 03:43 | |
| Xenguy | 03:43 | |
| Xenguy | OneManHateGroup: I think you need to break down your questions some more (it's not clear to me what you're asking really) | 03:44 |
| Xenguy | What DE are you using? | 03:44 |
| Xenguy | What filesystem is on your external hard drive? | 03:45 |
| gnarface | OneManHateGroup: filesystems other than fat32 will hold the permissions you assign after mounting. note that nothing will inherit the permissions of the mount point. if you need fat32 filesystems to be not owned as root, you can change it to a different user with some mount options i can't remember. also note that your apparent complaint about copy speeds is irrelevant to permissions; that's a different issue. | 03:58 |
| OneManHateGroup | Thanks for the input... | 04:01 |
| gnarface | i still have a feeling that neither of those things are his actual problem | 05:24 |

| Syllin | hey all...after some digging...looks like the audio devices on my machine had drivers added in linux 4.13, but the live installer landed me on linux 4.9. anyone know if i'll have luck compiling the 4.13 kernel? how would i even go about it? | 07:20 |
| Syllin | i guess i would need the official .config file for building the kernel that devuan uses..? or at least it would help | 07:21 |
| golinux | Syllin: https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/d1pkgweb-query?search=linux-image-&release=any | 07:25 |
| Syllin | niceee :D | 07:25 |
| Syllin | thanks | 07:25 |
| Syllin | anecdotally, do all of these seem to work? i may as well take the latest | 07:26 |
| golinux | Looks like linux-image-4.19 is in ascii backports | 07:26 |
| Syllin | how do i tap in to ascii backports? is that a repo that i need to add to my sources.d ? | 07:27 |
| golinux | https://devuan.org/os/etc/apt/sources.list | 07:28 |
| golinux | You don't want to install everything from backports. That could get you into into trouble. Be selective. | 07:29 |
| Syllin | makes sense, thanks :) | 07:30 |
| golinux | Hope that will solve you hardware issues | 07:31 |
| Syllin | hope so :). thanks | 07:31 |
| Syllin | after i've installed the new linux can i comment out backports so i dont accidentally DL something else from there? or will that cause problems | 07:32 |
| golinux | I comment backports. Others pin it. | 07:33 |
| Syllin | hardware works now :D | 07:33 |
| golinux | *\/* | 07:34 |
| Syllin | int his context, what does "pin" mean? | 07:34 |
| Syllin | can i configure it to only be the source of truth for that one package or something? | 07:34 |
| golinux | I'm afraid I'm not that adventurous. | 07:35 |
| golinux | But yes, I think what you suggested can be done. | 07:35 |
| golinux | That's exactly what pinning is for. | 07:36 |
| golinux | Hang around here and eventually someone will pop in to fill in the details. | 07:36 |
| Syllin | SG, thanks a bunch! | 07:37 |
| Syllin | glad to have my sound card back | 07:37 |
| golinux | :D | 07:39 |
| Humpelstilzchen | any idea why nvidia-driver-libs:amd64 in devuan ascii is version 390.116-1 but nvidia-driver-libs-i386:i386 is 390.87-8~deb9u1? (debian stretch has both 390.116-1) | 07:47 |
| Humpelstilzchen | any idea why nvidia-driver-libs:amd64 in devuan ascii is version 390.116-1 but nvidia-driver-libs-i386:i386 is 390.87-8~deb9u1? (debian stretch has both 390.116-1) | 19:45 |
| gnarface | i vaguely recall there was a build error about it maybe? | 19:47 |
| gnarface | that doesn't seem right though, i'm not sure | 19:47 |
| gnarface | you're sure you ran "apt-get update" first, right? | 19:47 |
| Humpelstilzchen | gnarface: sure | 19:48 |
| Jjp137 | I see the same thing in aptitude | 19:55 |
| Jjp137 | can't really tell you why, though :\ | 19:55 |
| Humpelstilzchen | To be honest I already fetched them from debian | 19:57 |
| jiefk | Guys, need a bit on help again. My touchpad works with kernel 4.19.0.2, but not with 4.19.0.4. How to debug this ? | 21:31 |
| jiefk | of* | 21:34 |
| gnarface | is one of those a backports kernel and the other one you built yourself? | 21:35 |
| gnarface | if so, you can find the stock configs in /boot and compare them to the one you're trying to build yourself | 21:36 |
| gnarface | if it's not a driver regression, maybe you just forgot to check a box | 21:36 |
| jiefk | hum no, it's the one from beowulf repository | 21:38 |
| buZz | does beowulf's intel gpu driver support vulkan? | 22:06 |
| buZz | ah hmm 2~[beowulf] xserver-xorg-video-intel-2.99.917+git20180925-2 | 22:07 |
| buZz | ah > WARNING: Ivy Bridge Vulkan support is incomplete | 22:08 |
| gnarface | jiefk: you're probably gonna have to check the dmesg and xorg logs for errors then. you might have to actually enable debugging in the relevant kernel module (this could require a rebuild, or maybe just adding a module option) | 22:46 |
| Syllin | anyone know why snapd isn't in the repos? | 22:52 |
| Syllin | maybe it depends on systemd...? | 22:52 |
| Jjp137 | that's correct | 22:52 |
| Jjp137 | for reference, a list of packages that are not in Devuan repos for similar reasons can be found here: https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/bannedpackages.txt | 22:54 |
| Syllin | gotcha, thanks | 22:59 |
| Syllin | when i plug my laptop in to my HDMI monitor, i have to open xfce4-display-settings and enter my settings (extend displays, different resolutions). unplugging the HDMI does what i want (revert the one laptop screen to a resolution that i like). but subsequent connection to my big monitor makes the display settings not stick: the ones that i liked be | 23:15 |
| Syllin | fore are gone, and it's on "mirror displays" | 23:15 |
| Syllin | ideally the settings would be stickier. barring that, i'd like to write a script i can invoke to automate the settings i know i like. | 23:16 |
| Syllin | anyone know the CLI programs that i can use to twiddle the settings that xfce4-display-settings does for me? | 23:16 |
| golinux | Maybe xrandr or lxrandr? | 23:17 |
| golinux | Syllin: ^^^ | 23:17 |
| Syllin | looks promising, thanks | 23:19 |
| Syllin | this does exactly waht i want, thanks https://pastebin.com/Yg5mPrh1 | 23:24 |
| golinux | Syllin: That's great news! | 23:46 |
| golinux | Took you just a few minutes to figure it out. Impressive. | 23:47 |
| Syllin | helps to google up the right path ;) | 23:56 |
