gnarfacecan anyone tell me if they can launch blender on ceres? i seem to be experiencing a bug that the debian bugtracker says was supposed to have been fixed02:51
gnarfacelaunched from a console i get: "blender: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libOpenColorIO.so.1: undefined symbol: _ZN4YAML6detail9node_data12empty_scalarB5cxx11E"02:52
gnarface(actually at first i got errors about missing libosdcpu3.4.0 and libosdgpu3.4.0, but they were really just missing symlinks)02:53
rhYtmason, U bounced out of that other chan without giving me a chance to discuss.04:07
rhYtI'm skeptical and open-minded.  This makes it difficult for people to affix a solid label.04:07
masonrhYt: I'll go back in to discuss.04:16
blebzoom on linux lets you configure the webcam aspect ratio as 16:9 or "original ratio"06:36
blebon this x201 it looks like "original ratio" gives me 16:1006:36
blebthink there's any way to configure this "original ratio" from the OS?06:37
meep_____You mean CCP botnet06:37
meep_____Probably via qv4lctl, but depends if your camera support it06:38
meep_____Otherwise there is always the ability to proccess video yourself with ffmpeg06:38
blebbut it would have to show up as a webcam in order for zoom to use it as input, no?06:38
meep_____No06:47
meep_____Any video feed there's an out of tree kernel module you can use call v4loopback06:47
meep_____Just process any video source into raw 4:2:2 or 4:2:2j video feed and pipe it into the kernel loopback06:48
meep_____Any program will think it's a webcam06:48
blebis there a ffmpeg pipeline you can suggest as a proof of concept06:49
meep_____fmpeg -i goatse.mkv -vf curves=lsd,transpose=2 -pix_fmt yuyv422 -f v4l2 /dev/video006:58
ejrhi! i recently had an external device attached to devuan, and i unmounted it correctly as far as i can tell. however since then devuan complains about a failed fsck check during boot and i manually have to press Control-D. My ssd is not corrupt though, it seems to be looking for the external device still. How can I get rid of that error during boot?09:16
ejrhttp://paste.debian.net/1144270/09:17
ejrthats the part from /var/log/boot09:17
ejr(after which i have to press Control+d)09:17
ErRandirlook at the last field for the device in /etc/fstab09:43
ErRandiror maybe it tries to mount it automatically on boot09:47
rrqejr: it might have been in fstab of the initrd and you haven't updated that09:47
meep_____ejr: repair the filesystem manually and then continue the boot09:52
ejrhmm, its not in fstab09:53
ejrmeep____: it's a luks-encrypted external device and I'm scared that checking it is going to corrupt it, as i dont think it would recognise it properly when its encrypted.09:55
ejralso it doesnt seem to be damaged when i mount it later on09:55
meep_____ejr: unlock the lucks container and run fsck by hand on the dm-mapped block device09:59
meep_____*luks09:59
ejrok, just fsck or fsck.ext4?10:00
meep_____Whatever works10:01
ejrok, and the device to run it on would be /dev/mapper/crypto after running cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb1 crypto, right?10:02
meep_____I forgot10:04
meep_____It's /dev/mapper/something10:04
meep_____/device10:04
ejrok, thanks10:06
_abc_I was wondering some time ago how the integration of out arch frenemy Poettring into the world of suits went. Turns out it was easy, they tolerate the yobs so far. Slightly off topic but tangent to #devuan and whatever the opposition will throw at us next, probably. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2020/04/30/red_hat_ceo_interview_ibm/12:09
* _abc_ is done spamming.12:10
_abc_Also they drop all pretense wrt "universal" operating system, clearly oriented now towards container and Kubernetes which explains the "agile" development of super fast boot times where billing is by the second in the cloud. Another reason to stick to devuan (systemd less) by all means possible.12:11
ulletmhm #debianfork is better _abc_12:20
_abc_I think it is relevant to devuan in that maybe in the near future it will be necessary to keep devuan repos for a lot more things than now, just to keep things working as they used to.12:41
ulletthough it is related to devuan, a discussion would have of unrelated branches _abc_12:48
ullet* a lot of12:49
HeteroChromia420heya. i'm trying to get into emulation on a very weak laptop of mine. i was considering downloading&compiling retropie, should i do that?17:39
gnarfaceHeteroChromia420: i don't really know, but there are numerous emulators already in the repo that weren't specifically designed for raspberry pis17:47
gnarface(most of them are probably old enough to qualify for most "weak laptops")17:48
gnarfacei think retropi is specifically built for ARM hardware, no?  so that would not be impossible to run on all x86 hardware, but it probably would be more trouble than it is worth17:51
gnarfaceif you just want a multi-emulator front-end, mythtv can do that too, and probably some others...17:57
HeteroChromia420retropi does have a x86 version that you can compile, so i thought on asking17:57
gnarfaceoh? well it might be worth it then17:57
gnarfacei can't say i've used it myself17:57
HeteroChromia420i could use retroarch for the multi-emulator experience, but i don't think devuan does have all of the cores from the regular version.17:57
HeteroChromia420(at least not in the repos)17:58
gnarfaceyea i don't know17:58
gnarfacetry it and let us know?17:59
gnarfacei might be able to help with build tips17:59
HeteroChromia420hm, looks like retropie doesn't let me use it's compilation setup as it says that "You need Raspbian/Debian Stretch or newer"18:00
gnarfacehmmm. which devuan are you on?  my guess is that it's just doing a dumb string check you can change18:01
HeteroChromia420yet i'm running beowulf. probably it checks for the string values in lsb_release or smth18:01
buZzbye18:02
buZz:D18:02
gnarfacehmm, wrong button i'm guessing18:02
buZz:)18:02
gnarfaceHeteroChromia420: i there a ./debian/ directory in the source root?18:02
HeteroChromia420checking, brb18:02
gnarfaceif there is, you can probably change what disro it looks for somewhere in there18:03
HeteroChromia420i'm using the github version; there is no debian folder in here18:03
HeteroChromia420maybe it checks it on the sh?18:03
gnarfacei don't know18:03
gnarfacetry this on it:  grep -rni 'stretch' .18:04
HeteroChromia420will do18:04
gnarfaceit has a ./configure script?18:07
gnarfaceor just a makefile, or what?18:07
gnarfaceit might be in there18:07
HeteroChromia420it has quite a few sh files that it uses.18:07
HeteroChromia420looking at one of the scripts, it does have a few mentions of devuan, but clearly it isn't working18:08
gnarfacemaybe something more like: grep -ni 'stretch' `find ./ -iname '*.sh'`18:09
gnarface(i'm just grepping some old wine source and realizing that the word "stretch" isn't as uncommon as i expected)18:10
HeteroChromia420is there a way to edit the version info on lsb_release? i want to try something18:11
gnarfaceuh... there is, i'm pretty sure about that.  i forget how though18:12
ErRandirmaybe hack /etc/lsb-release.d/* ?18:12
HeteroChromia420directory doesn't exist18:12
gnarfacefor all i know you'd have to rebuild it too18:14
HeteroChromia420nvm, found the script that checks the lsb_release number18:15
HeteroChromia420changed the value to 218:15
gnarfacewell anyway i just discovered it's probably /etc/apparmor.d fyi18:15
gnarfacehehe18:15
gnarface /etc/apparmor.d/18:16
gnarfacenot sure where in there18:16
gnarfacemy first impression is that this looks, somewhat overcomplicated.  mabye don't mess with it.18:18
gnarfacewho knows what else it might break, better to change the script18:18
openbsdtai123hi guys, on devuan main website, you forgot to put CD1 amd64 beowulf.. it is a bit mess tehre.18:53
openbsdtai123there is desktop of 3.6gb but no cd1. ... https://mirror.leaseweb.com/devuan/devuan_beowulf/installer-iso/    the content is bit mess there.18:54
buZzwell, its not released yet18:56
buZz;)18:56
openbsdtai123clean up the folder, have a look clean order, structured:  https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/18:57
buZzeventually, sure18:58
openbsdtai123name or number/..../source/18:58
openbsdtai123please add the source in there. this is open*source* still and not binaries like ms windows.18:59
buZzlol what19:00
buZzopenbsd has it easy because its not 50000 packages :D19:00
buZzdebian variant distros have just too much source available19:00
openbsdtai123Earliest debian 0.93, bo,... had more source availabilities, like slackware it is still very focused on source, opensource code.19:00
buZzso apt now has src repos for people that want it19:00
buZzand so does devuan19:00
openbsdtai12350'000 is high number.19:01
buZzyou dont say19:01
gnarfacei'm seeing 59666 here19:02
openbsdtai123one day going far from opensource, no return will be possible. this is law of nature.19:02
buZznice, almost 60k19:02
buZzopenbsdtai123: well cool , so you prefer to ignore the source available and just complain19:02
buZzthats fine , but i'll ask you to move such talk somewhere else ;)19:02
openbsdtai123netbsd does first from source code. build.sh and it is done.19:02
buZzall bsds have -very few- packages by design19:03
buZzlinux is not openbsd or netbsd, linux has -many many- packages19:03
openbsdtai123pkgsrc has   a lot19:03
buZzthats cool , does openbsd release -all- those source at -every- release just for idiots that cant use apt?19:03
buZzhuge waste of effort and space19:03
openbsdtai123I need to go... see you later buzz.19:03
buZzfarewell19:03
masonpkgsores breaks too often for my taste. It's single-handedly responsible for my moving to Debian for production in the early 2000s.19:26
masonopenbsdtai123: #debianfork is better for discussing non-Devuan-support things, now that I've caught up with the questionable scrollback.19:29
openbsdtai123well, I had to mention that there was CD1 missing, i.e. devuan, for concern.19:42
masonopenbsdtai123: I trust that it'll be there when Beowulf is actually released.19:43
openbsdtai123ok19:43
openbsdtai123thank you19:43
ulletdid you know you can send SIGSTOP to your browser to temporarily stop it using cpu, and SIGCONT to resume execution?  now you do!20:08
buZzshould work for any process really :P20:10
golinuxopenbsdtai123: CD1 is the server CD20:11
golinuxPlease read the top of this page: https://beta.devuan.org/get-devuan20:12
golinuxSometimes you have to RTFM even if you know everything.20:13
golinuxmason: ^^^20:14
masongolinux: Oh, interesting. I hadn't actually looked at the ISOs available given that we're not released yet.20:16
golinuxThat's the beta site so quite appropriate to list them there20:16
masonSure. For my own purposes, I only ever install with a netinstaller or from a netboot or portable drive with debootstrap.20:17
ulleti made a script to auto-sigstop firefox if i clicked on a different window20:33
ulletusing wmctrl to get the PID20:34
ulletsadly i only managed to do it with polling, which meant that SIGCONT took a couple seconds to activate20:34
ulletthis function could be integrated into the windowmanager20:35
ulletsomething nobody has done before20:35
ulletyou read it here first :P20:35
buZz:)20:36
buZzmy browser commits suicide all the time20:37
buZzi mean, its killing tabs that i havent had active20:37
buZzso mem and cpu load is always superlow20:37
ulletnice20:51
systemdletehow do I install python-gnome2 and python-support -- needed for foldingathome22:14
systemdleteThis is for beowulf22:14
ulletmaybe with pip install or pip3 install systemdlete22:16
masonsystemdlete: There's python-gtk2 available. Do you mean that?22:20
systemdletepossibly.  Was following the EXACT instructions at https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/installation-guides/configuration-guide/.  Maybe it's outdated.  Thank you for your responses.22:22
systemdleteAh.  When I install python-gtk, it wants more packages that it cannot resolve22:23
masonsystemdlete: There's also https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/installation-guides/linux/manual-installation-advanced/22:24
systemdleteIt seems to have the same content as the other page.22:24
systemdleteI will try the pip approach22:25
masonsystemdlete: So, I downloaded those, and I'm saying apt install ./foo22:25
systemdleteYes, mason, I did also.  Problem is, when it tries to install FAHControl, it completes but warns you that those 2 packages are not installable.22:26
masonAh, now I see python-support and python-gnome2 coming in22:26
ulleta lot of python stuff is more actively maintained in the pip repos systemdlete22:26
masonsystemdlete: So, they say Debian/Mint/Ubuntu, but they really mean Ubuntu there - Debian doesn't ship it.22:26
systemdleteHow do I get pip itself?22:27
systemdleteDo I need to configure something for apt?22:27
sixwheeledbeastcan you just install the client packages without the control package?22:28
masonsystemdlete: THe package is python-pip22:28
systemdlete(I'm more of a perl guy than a python guy myself)22:28
sixwheeledbeasts/packages/package/22:28
systemdleteSure, and I can drive the car without the air conditioning.  But I'd like air conditioning22:28
masonheh22:29
systemdleteWell, I am curious to see what options it provides, per the web pages22:29
systemdleteFAH is running, working.  I was just hoping to get the 12" sub, not the 6" sub.22:30
sixwheeledbeastWell as far as I am aware you can control the "air-conditioning" from the terminal without the "car"22:30
systemdleteLike, cool the garage so the car will be cool when you drive it?22:31
systemdlete(Yes, I know there is a CLI for FAH)22:31
systemdletepip install:  "Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: https://pypi.org/simple/python-support/22:32
systemdlete"22:32
systemdleteLet's forget this, shall we?   I can live without FAHcontrol I guess.22:33
systemdleteToo much for for too much benefit.   Not.22:34
systemdleteWorld Computing Grid will have a Covid project soon, per their website.  I have had fairly good luck with WCG in the past.22:35
sixwheeledbeastok I don't think your missing much anyway22:36
systemdleteMy beowulf vm takes a long nap right after launching cups and cups-browsed.  Any ideas?23:03
systemdlete(It did this even before I installed FAH)23:03
systemdlete(during boot, I mean)23:04
systemdleteLooks like it might be dovecot, since that seems to launch next.23:05
systemdleteProb a bad config -- I'm thinking of the listening ports.23:05
