dbristowYay, it's finally seeding.00:37
Saacmatchin1999bonjour09:45
foresterHi. My Devuan 2 system have lost pulseaudio (some stuff around it). Maybe it is because of updating or trying Budgie-desktop (I use Mate). Do you know how to solve this issue?14:48
r3bootreinstall it?14:49
foresterI did it. No difference.14:58
yetiI need to manually start pulesaudio on a beowulf system now... no idea why15:00
yetiid did work without this for a long time but now noone seems to start it any more and if I do it manually it sometimes goes to sleep again and I need to restart it15:01
yetiup to a while ago I could listen internet streams for days without such effects15:02
yetiI've got more important things on my to do list than this, so if it stays this way, I'll put my "radio" on openwrt instead15:03
foresterHow to manually start pulseaudio?15:04
yetipulseaudio --start15:04
foresterIt works.15:08
foresterThe sound in browser appeared.15:09
yetidebsums -ce pulseaudio # <<< no output ... so I've not changed the conffiles15:10
yetino idea why it stopped to work without manual intervention15:11
yetiso 2 persons and 2 releases are seeing this... that's hope for it not being PEBCAK15:11
yeti:-D15:11
foresteryeti: Thank you for help. Bye.15:17
yeti_o/"15:17
masonyeti: I may have seen an issue with having to manually start PulseAudio in Beowulf, but I've since realized that everything I use is happy with ALSA, so I chucked PulseAudio out the window, as is right and meet.15:33
DocScrutinizer05^^^ :-)  I guess PolypAudio simply has no start script for initv15:45
DocScrutinizer05I'm rather sure Lennart won't keep it up to date ;-)15:46

tuxd3vHello all,16:13
tuxd3v new armel image for rpi's : https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=318316:13
tuxd3vnew [armel] fluxbox 1.3.7-1 package here: https://cld.pt/dl/download/b9c3ca0f-6475-4397-8ad9-7e90cd88a434/fluxbox_1.3.7-1_armel.deb?download=true16:18
DocScrutinizer05r3boot: well, it would have conveyed your point if you had linked to specifically the sysv-init script16:30
GyrosGeier15:45 < DocScrutinizer05> ^^^ :-)  I guess PolypAudio simply has no start script for initv16:31
DocScrutinizer05I know what I wrote :-)16:31
GyrosGeierthe idea that upstreams can provide system integration is kind of ridiculous16:31
GyrosGeierit happens to work with systemd that upstreams can provide unit files for trivial cases16:32
DocScrutinizer05ack, at least partially16:32
GyrosGeierbut if you look at Debian packages, almost all init scripts come from the package, not from upstream16:32
DocScrutinizer05ok, my rant was slightly misleading. However still true - probably in devuan beowulf(?) the initscript for PA isn't up to date / functional so you need to start PA manually. And for sure Mr Poettering won't care about (sysv) init16:35
DocScrutinizer05the nice part is in >>I've since realized that everything I use is happy with ALSA<<16:36
r3bootDocScrutinizer05: it just goes to show that there is a *lot* of hyperbole surrounding everything related to what Lennart wrote16:43
DocScrutinizer05hmm, sure you may call this hyperbole. I think it's a slightly humorous comment about PA and systemd both made by Poettering16:44
r3bootIt would be humourous if it was true, right now its baseless slander16:45
DocScrutinizer05works for prolly most other services too, though not as well when service and init system are not made by same author16:45
DocScrutinizer05r3boot: sorry, do you tell me Poettering takes care about sysv-init system integration of PA in devuan? or what was your point about >>baseless slander<<?16:46
DocScrutinizer05I think we simply can stop this pointless chitchat here16:48
r3bootTsja, there arent that many distro's that still do sysv. So why not let the people that still use it write something for it, instead of expecting that someone else does it for you. Even worse if you call them out for it, without even submitting a bugreport.16:48
r3bootAnd indeed, this is about devuan, so lets keep the lennart bashing for #debianfork shall we?16:48
DocScrutinizer05which lennart basching?16:49
r3bootread ur backlog16:49
DocScrutinizer05still no need to help my short term memory like that16:49
r3bootokay, I'll help you out:16:49
r3boot15:46 < DocScrutinizer05> I'm rather sure Lennart won't keep it up to date ;-)16:49
r3bootas you can see from the commit log, pa is maintained by a team, not lennart all by himself16:50
DocScrutinizer05it however shows a communication problem when I meant "show me which is the lennart bashing" and you answer "read your backlog since it seems you don't know what you wrote" - and now I'm out16:50
DocScrutinizer05so swhat? this is a point on my side, he even less will take care about PA init scripts then, as every other service author will, particularly when the upstream is maintained by a team now16:52
DocScrutinizer05cheers!16:52
r3bootIt just goes to show that you dont care about PA and the devs behind it, nor that you care about making pa better for all of us, and that you'd rather spend your efford on blaming the current state on Lennart. Personally, I think that is a bit childish. It does not show that you fully understand the ecosystem behind it.16:54
r3bootThe whole idea behild FLOSS is that you contribute, in one way or the other16:55
Wonkaarent't firefox and chromium PA only now? as in "do not do ALSA anymore"?16:55
GyrosGeierWonka, works for me though16:55
GyrosGeierexcept closing tabs while sound is playing in them, that has a chance of catching a SIGABRT16:55
WonkaI had a tab once with video playing, and the sound didn't stop when I closed the tab... could have been on Android though.16:57
Wonkaanyway, somehow installing PA was enough for me to get sound in FF back16:57
DocScrutinizer05r3boot: now who's doing unbased slander?16:58
r3bootnot me, that's for sure :) Also, take this to #debianfork, plz16:58
DocScrutinizer05Wonka: sounds about right, though for FF I think there was a work around16:59
WonkaDocScrutinizer05: in some versions, you could reactivate ALSA. until they removed the code.16:59
DocScrutinizer05r3boot: listen buddy, I posted two rather neutral lines which YOU take as "Pezeering bashing" and go on to blame me for not improving PA and being anti-FOSS and whatnot. Don't tell ME to take this elsewhere, YOU started it17:00
DocScrutinizer05Poettering even17:01
r3bootDocScrutinizer05: debianfork, not here17:03
DocScrutinizer05you started it here, I stop it here NOW.17:04
r3bootgood :)17:05
jaromilhi all, FYI brief pointer and considerations on the machine-id privacy break and how it is fixed in Devuan ASCII 2.1 onwards https://slashdot.org/submission/10780308/the-file-varlibdbusmachine-id-matters-for-your-privacy-and-devuan-fixed-it17:05
DocScrutinizer05hi jaromil, long time no see :-)17:06
masonjaromil: Ah, nice to see good press. :)17:12
masonDid they publish it? Just realizing that I've never seen a submission entry before. I hope it makes it to the front.17:13
jaromilhi :^)17:24
jaromilthey may or may not17:24
jaromilpeople with a user can vote it up17:24
jaromilthey have accepted some submissions about devuan in the past17:24
jaromili'm an old time slashdot subscriber and still attached to the platform, despite YC has surpassed it in popularity17:25
jaromilbbl17:25
masonI use SlashDot for news still. I've never had an account, but I pull them via RSS, as they're a great mix of what I want generally.17:39
sixwheeledbeast^ same17:57
sixwheeledbeastPeople overlook RSS. News without the social media bull.17:58
iratahi guys. just seen ascii 2.1 is out, congrats17:58
jonadabSince it's still ascii, I assume we don't need to update our source repo lists?18:32
jaromilbest use http://deb.devuan.org as root domain for the packages, since that's a round-robin on mirrors and provides some relief to our core infra18:36
jaromilyou may have some older domain instead18:37
jonadabAh.18:45
jonadabYeah, I think I have several different domains on various systems.18:46
jonadabHmm, are subdomains (e.g., us.) of deb.devuan.org good?18:47
golinuxjonadab: There is no US mirror18:48
jaromilno subdomains, no US mirror yet (help!)18:48
golinuxYou can choose a specific CC mirror from the available list if yuou like.18:48
golinuxhttps://pkgmaster.devuan.org/mirror_list.txt18:49
jonadabHuh.  One of my systems has us.deb.devuan.org for all the repos in sources.list, and it seems to work.19:22
jonadabI was just asking if it's preferable to not list them that way.19:22
jonadab(I mean, if there isn't currently a US mirror, one supposes that could currently resolve to just any mirror, and be changed later if US mirrors are added.)19:23
masonjonadab: That was done at install time but it ends up not having actual meaning.20:14
masonjonadab: It's just a cname for pkgmaster.devuan.org.20:14
masonbbiab20:14
jonadabAh.20:26
jonadabI should really check the URLs on my systems that were updated from squeeze and earlier, though.  Those are the ones likely to have the MOST out-of-date repo domains.20:27
jonadabWell, apart from the one that's still on squeeze, but nevermind that.20:29
jonadab(Or, actually, wait... don't I still have...  hah, I do.  I still have one system that's on etch.  But that's a _very_ special case, and not germaine here.)20:31
james1138Just asking... if we are already using Devuan ASCII - we do not have to do anything since we will soon (if not already) see the updates that are part of ASCII 2?20:59
yetiyipyip.21:04
yeti( \o/  typed into a P4M notebook running beowulf  \o/ )21:05
james1138Yeti: how did you get Beowulf?21:06
yetiupgraded ascii21:07
james1138Yeti: upgrade? Not with ISO?21:07
yetiYES21:07
james1138Where ISO??21:08
yetinot with iso ... YES21:08
yetiinstall minimal ascii, upgrade, install the rest21:08
yetixcept for some VMs I'm running beowulf on all systems21:09
james1138Ah..21:09
yetibut havent touched this oldtimer too long... it still has ascii's theme...21:09
jonadabBeowulf has been in development for a while now.  I suppose it's not too horrifically far off from being stable enough for production.21:09
yetiI get what I need21:10
yetiwhats the name of twin's displaymanager?21:11
yetihave I dreamed? I thought there were such a thing abd now I cannot find it21:12
yetihmmm...21:13
james1138<sigh> Seeing MX Linux and AntiX already out with Buster/Beowulf ISO...  hard to "sit by" seeing no ISO yet. Not intending to complain and sorry if it came across as complaining. Even Refracta has a Buster/Beowulf ISO - although it is "Alpha" according to their website.21:15
yetibeowulf definitely is better than alpha21:17
yetiok... I'm not a multimedia/WYSIWYG-guy21:17
yetithere may be some glitches I dont see...21:17
yetiI'm compiling a lot of stuff and most of the day I "live" in screen+Xterm21:18
yetiwhen this oldtimer is updated, I'll switchback to newer trash...21:19
yetiits a shame how much better the 13(?) years old keyboard of this T30 feels in comparison to the T510 I normally use...21:21
yeti:-(21:21
jonadabjames1138: ISO is the old way of distributing operating systems, now we use apt repositories :-)21:59
jonadabAny OS that doesn't have apt repos is hopelessly obsolete.  You heard it here first.22:00
james1138For me... a ISO is needed if for any reason I must reinstall from stratch.22:01
yetieven the netinstall is a small ISO22:13
yetibut yes... the day netbsd switches to APT, I'll need to clone myself22:14
jonadabHeh.22:37
