gillb_anyone else running devuan on jetson04:52
gillb_update-alternatives --config gcc06:16
gillb_update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for gcc06:16
gillb_does this mean beowulf only has gcc-9?06:16
gnarfacemaybe, i'm not sure06:17
gnarfacemaybe just means you don't have any others installed...06:17
gnarface(i'm assuming you already know for sure the command itself is correct)06:17
golinuxhttps://pkginfo.devuan.org/ is your friend06:18
gillb_is it likely that gcc-9 the wrong version to build my kernel?06:25
gillb_i see 7 and 8 are avail06:26
gnarfaceyea i didn't even know gcc 9 was out06:27
gnarfaceit is possible you need a earlier version06:28
gnarfacethey usually say somewhere in the kernel docs which version of gcc you need...06:28
gnarfaceor somewhere nearby06:29
gillb_ahh06:30
gillb_update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-8 80 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-8 --slave /usr/bin/gcov gcov /usr/bin/gcov-806:30

gillb_... and away we go ...06:32

gillb_coffee or vodka?06:34
onefangBoth, sorta.  Black magic, it's vodka mixed with coke.  B-)06:35
onefang(And a splash of blackberry nip.)06:35
gillb_vodka won't help solve the problem, but i'll be less upset about having it06:46
gillb_just a little shot of parliament in a big glass of lemonade - can hardly taste it06:47
slphilI've tried installing Devuan to my Thinkpad T400p a few times but it won't let me log in once the install is done. It worked once (Cinnamon in fallback) but every other time it blackscreens (X) or stalls and refreshes login prompt (console)07:18
slphilI'm using the 2.1 netinst iso now, but I tried two others with the same results07:19
gillb_slphil: possible xorg and driver problem?07:25
gillb_can you do a console-only login?07:25
slphilrecovery mode? trying that now07:32
slphilI get some random nouveau output lines in my tty occasionally but I've seen that for years07:32
slphil`EXT4-fs (sda2): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro`07:34
gillb_i am no longer very useful for adminning07:38
gillb_can you research how to boot into devuan console, then do that - do not start display manager07:39
gillb_it's why i used to always boot a machine to console07:39
gillb_cause adding the graphics just adds an error layer07:39
gillb_interrupting grub boot and specifying some stuff might be the way to do it07:40
slphilI appended "single" to the grub line and got a console boot, then a bunch of stuff came up that was too quick for me to read except for the above read-only remount and `no space for directory leaf checksum`07:46
slphilso SMART monitoring tools come with the default install?07:46
slphil*do07:47
slphilthat was really strange, it looks like the devuan installer was adding `ro` to my grub lines, removing that seems to have fixed the problem07:49
slphilexcept that looks like it's right after all, I'll check the hard drive health07:51
gillb_that seems a good idea yes07:54
slphilhard drive health looks fine with smartctl and I see no issues after removing `ro`07:56
gillb_i used to be able to startx after getting console but that seems broken nowadays07:57
FlibberTGibbetis it possible to use 'live' on a USB as a persistent portable OS?17:44
golinuxFlibberTGibbet: Yes.18:12

FlibberTGibbetthanks golinux18:13
