flinggnarface: wut? :>05:53
xrogaanI have theses in my syslog, anybody had an idea of why? rtkit-daemon: Argument 1 is specified to be of type "uint32", but is actually of type "int32"#01205:59
flingxrogaan: looks like whatever is starting rtkit-daemon passing a negative value to it as the first argument but rtkit-daemon expects it to be a positive value?06:03
xrogaanis rtkit another systemd?06:03
xrogaanI don't even know what starts that daemon06:04
xrogaannot in init.d06:04
flingxrogaan: never used rtkit-daemon and have no idea what is it for06:04
flingxrogaan: systemd on devuan?06:04
xrogaani   pulseaudio Recommends rtkit06:05
xrogaanmeh06:05
flingShould I try rtkit myself?06:05
xrogaanpoettering has his hands on rtkit06:05
xrogaanapparently, I do not need it.06:06
xrogaanProbably installed itself at the time I didn't disable the recommended install by default06:06
rennjhttps://packages.debian.org/sid/rtkit ?06:13
rennjdbus would be handling that06:13
flingIs it possible to use remote pulse server without dbus?06:14
rennjesd e sound daemon did remote audio, m$ rdp does remote audio..should be possible..06:15
rennjhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlightened_Sound_Daemon06:16
rennjESD can also manage network-transparent audio.06:16
flingI'm talking about $PULSE_SERVER variable06:16
gnarfacefling: didn't you ask how to set static routes?06:20
flinggnarface: oh this, right I did it by adding up ip r a lines to interfaces.06:32
rennjhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_audio_software#Sound_servers06:47
rennji know your trying to get pulse working...06:47
rennjJACK Audio Connection Kit (JACK), real-time sound server. be done with it..06:48
rennjremote end can do jack, and then the clients be pulse06:48
rennjhttp://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/padevchooser/06:50
rennjQuickly change the default PulseAudio sink/source/server assigned to the current X11 display, selecting devices available on the LAN06:50

gnarfacefling: whatever works07:19
flinggnarface: what is the way with 'route' ?07:52
gnarfacefling: that's why i told you to look at the man page :-p07:59
flinggnarface: is there some initscript for route or something?08:03
gnarfacefling: are you using dhcp? check your dhcp client for script hooks08:32
gnarfacefling: or wpasupplicant08:32
gnarfacefling: (if using wireless)08:33
flinggnarface: ok, thanks.08:33
gnarfacefling: or you could add the lines to pre/post-up hooks in /etc/network/interfaces directly... there should be a few relatively easy ways to do it08:33
flingI added 'up' to /etc/network/interfaces.d/08:36
flinggnarface: but with iproute2 ^08:36
flingthought there might be a better way08:36
flingshould not I use openrc and netifrc?08:36
gnarfacefling: use whatever you want.  iproute2 is the new one that's all.  i can't tell you anything about netifrc08:45
flinggnarface: ok thanks!08:55
DocScrutinizer05poettering is a kit fan12:42
DocScrutinizer05rtkitctl - Realtime Policy and Watchdog daemon control  RealtimeKit was written by Lennart Poettering12:44
DocScrutinizer05polypaudio needsa rtkit to gain realtime scheduling, I'd wager12:46
DocScrutinizer05guess who's author of polypaudio err PA12:46
buZzenlightenment?13:04
buZzafaik poettering stopped devving on pulseaudio ages ago13:04
jonadabYes, I have hopes that pulseaudio will eventually be usable.14:54
brocashelmalsa works just fine for me. i would understand the need for pulse for something like bluetooth?15:21
brocashelmthink i might replace networkmanager with connman15:22
xinomilonot familiar with sound (total ignorance there), but how do you get alsa to go >100%, as vlc/pulseaudio mixer does?15:23
flingjonadab: what is so bad about pulseaudio?15:29
flingWhat I don't like is granting a client access to your server allows them to capture your inputs and outputs15:30
jonadabfling: You mean besides the fact that sometimes it randomly decides that your computer Will Never Play Audio Again, and even uninstalling pulseaudio doesn't fix it, you have to reinstall your entire OS?15:32
flingjonadab: wut? tell me more about this15:33
jonadabGranted, I haven't experienced this recently.  Because after it happened, I vowed not to install pulseaudio again for a Good Long While(TM).15:34
flingthe worst issue I'm experiencing with pulseaudio is missing sound in alsa only apps via pulse alsa plugin in containers15:34
flingbut this is due to a bug in alsa lib15:35
sixwheeledbeastnever had any issues PA myself but heard plenty people complain about it.15:38
masonIt's better than it used to be, but not using it is better still.15:43
n4dirlol15:44
masonSome years ago I had a script that would kill the pulseaudio daemon, delete its binary state from disk, and then yank out and reload the audio module, as pulseaudio would wedge itself so hard that each of these steps was essential to getting it running again.15:44
n4dirthat should be their main slogan15:44
masonn4dir: It's time-honored wisdom that less is more.15:45
masonAnd that less(1) is more featureful than more(1).15:45
n4dir:-)15:46
jonadabI have no doubt that pulse has been improving since poettering stopped working on it.15:56
jonadabOne of these days I'll give it another try.15:56
r3bootanother day, another personal attack on poettering, take it to #devuan-offtopic plz :)16:01
markizanonot sure if this is an xinput thing or something else I am missing, but somewhere in ascii->beowulf (and this is also true for eoan->focal), I have observed the Ctrl+Left/Ctrl+Right navigation keys now stopping at dash characters.19:24
markizanokinda curious where I go from here.19:24
markizanothis is irrelevant to my terminal/shell - it happens in other apps too.19:24
markizanoSimilar to how you can control "Select-by-word" characters in Terminator (and I presume gnome-terminal as well), but seems like something has changed more globally; this behaviour exists outside of just the shell/terminal.19:25
markizanono diff between `/etc/inputrc` between upgrades.19:28
Hurgotronhmm, maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I don't see a difference between ascii and beowulf here.19:42
masonHurgotron: Newer software. Beowulf ships some multimedia stuff that is happy with all my media.19:43
mason...whereas ASCII versions bailed.19:43
masonHurgotron: Security attention is also going to start shifting away from ASCII as it ages.19:44
Hurgotronmason: Sorry, I meant to address markizano and his observation.19:44
Hurgotronmason: sorry for the confusion :)19:45
masonOh, gotcha. Doh.19:45
markizanoLoL19:45
markizanochatting with a friend in another channel and there is suspect it in the version of GTK I have.19:46
markizanoI am using Gtk3 for the first time since I was on Jessie/Gtk2 forever...19:46
markizanook, nope - KDE is doing it too (with kate editor).19:47
Hurgotronwell I just tried vi and bash.19:48
markizanonarrowing it down to just pluma19:48
markizano<markizano> "word-break" <- in pluma, it goes "|word-break" -> "word|-break" -> "word-|break" -> "word-break|"19:49
markizano<markizano> now looking more closely in other apps, it goes19:49
markizano<markizano> "|word-break" -> "word|-break" -> "word-break|"19:49
markizanoso, issue I have, I guess is word break is on dash and it treats dash like a word.19:52
markizanothis is very obscure...19:52
markizanoGoogle searches only yield stuff like "how to search and replace in <text-editor>" or inputrc stuff related to bash.19:52
markizanokate and pluma appear to have the issue19:53
markizanoit's really minor and cosmetic, I guess, but it's bugging me enough to want to find out where this was configured, LoL.19:53
markizanoor "how to setup shortcut keys" ;_;19:54
fsmithredcould that be related to the change that causes ls to put quotes around some file names?19:56
fsmithred(the ones with spaces)19:56
markizano^ was wondering about that too... figured it might be to enable folks to be able to copy/paste from output of `ls`19:58
fsmithredthere's more to it than convenience19:58
fsmithredI think that was a change in ls, but I don't recall for sure19:58
fsmithredbut pretty sure something about how or when to recognize a word changed somewhere19:59
markizanohrmm...20:00
markizanoseems like `ls` default --quoting-style changed from "literal" to "shell-escape"20:00
fsmithredthe change that's bugging me is that file-selection windows sort files and directories together instead of dirs first20:01
fsmithredthat sounds familiar20:01
markizanoI think it's in zenity - but don't like the default behaviour of search either. I am so keyboard oriented, using the mouse to navigate a file or up/down arrow keys repeatedly is not friendly to me.20:03
markizanowould like to know how to change that config as well, LoL20:03
fsmithredchange what?20:04
markizanowhen you go to select/open a new file in any zenity-based file selector, seems like the default behaviour is to up/down navigate, rather than type a file to navigate.20:04
markizanoI liked the legacy behaviour which had an address bar at the top and you can type path direct to file.20:05
fsmithredoh20:05
fsmithredyeah20:05
markizanonow, I find myself having to Ctrl+L to activate address bar before I can search.20:05
fsmithredI use yad now instead of zenity20:05
ranixyou should be able to search just by typing the filename20:05
ranixhaving to hit a key combo first is stupid20:05
markizano<ranix> having to hit a key combo first is stupid  <<< +120:05
ranixif a file browser is open typing w should go straight to the first file with a name beginning in w20:06
markizanooh it does20:06
fsmithredno text entry in yad's file-selector20:06
markizanobut sometimes I am in a parent directory and I start typing the path to the file with slashes20:06
markizanoby the time I type the folder/file out - the file-selector says "no results found"20:06
markizanoI have to first navigate to the sub-folder, sub-folder, then I can find the file.20:07
ranixI'd just type the folder name and hit enter instead of typing a path with slashes20:07
ranixso instead of foo/bar/harbl.png I'd type foo enter bar enter harbl enter20:07
ranixthat works with thunar20:08
markizanooh the joy's of Linux and it's insane configurability, LoL20:08
markizanoI want a config option to toggle that! :D20:08
fsmithredtry dconf-editor20:09
markizanoomg, I forgot about that - had a hard time recalling the name of that winregedit like thing for Linux :D20:10
fsmithredyeah, it's bigger and better (more complicated) than gconf20:13
ranixgross20:14
markizanoLoL20:14
ranixjust what we need, more wysiwyg menu-diving20:14
ranixwhat happened to good old conf files20:14
ranixI don't even understand what happened to x11 conf files20:14
ranixI wonder if I even have an xorg.conf anymore20:15
fsmithredxorg.conf got replaced with auto-detection20:15
fsmithredyou can still have one if you need20:15
ranixwhat does nvidia-settings even do now20:15
fsmithredthat used to open a gui with settings20:16
ranixit seems like my multi-display and rotation settings are all xrandr which I control from the xfce-settings menu20:16
fsmithredI assume it still does20:16
fsmithredme too20:16
fsmithredusing nouveau20:16
ranixI don't think nouveau works on this card20:16
fsmithredtoo new?20:17
ranixtoo old20:17
fsmithredwhat is it?20:17
ranixgtx 27520:17
fsmithredGT218 [GeForce 210]20:17
fsmithrednot sure how those compare20:17
ranixgtx275 is gt200b20:18
markizano<ranix> what happened to good old conf files <- conf files are hard. let's invent a new way for people to configure crap who have no idea what they are doing and include zero documentation.20:18
ranixmarkizano: my theory is that man files are sexist20:18
markizanoLMAO!20:18
n4dirthough to me xorg.conf never was much fun.20:19
ranixno screens found20:19
n4dirbut then: i just started20:19
ranixI remember back in 1998 feeling like I was a l33t h4xx0r because I was able to get the shimmering water effect on the enlightenment desktop working when prior I couldn't even get xfree86 to find my serial port mouse20:20
markizanoLoL20:20
n4dirranix: just switched to e16. The shimmering water. Oh my ...20:21
ranixand the default trees background with that weird shade of green20:21
ranixso good20:21
n4diri found quite a few funny themes.20:22
n4dirlet's attach the close/max/min buttons just about anywhere you could think of, and with no sense at all20:22
n4dirmust have been a thing back then, from what i have heard (e16 that is)20:23
ranixidk if I ever tried e1720:23
n4dirimho you can't compare the two.20:24
ranixdoes e16 still run these days20:24
n4dirit runs well. Friend said it was upgraded last year or so, but in general it stays like it is like forever. Was removed from debian and all debian based, it seems20:24
ranixlame20:25
n4dirit compiles in like 5 minutes. Including the download time ...20:25
ranixway ahead of you20:27
ranixalready installing build deps20:27
n4diroha20:27
ranixand now building20:27
ranixidk if I can get away from the new familiarity of xfce though20:28
n4diryeah, it is hard to beat xfce. Whenever i use it i am pretty amazed.20:28
markizanoI feel like a place like dconf is where this hidden config is...20:35
markizanohttps://markizano.net/misc/dconf-settings.png20:37
markizanosomething like this makes me think I am close...20:37
ranixwow the pager20:37
ranixI forgot all about this20:37
markizanoranix, lesspipe ?20:37
ranix?20:38
markizano<ranix> wow the pager <- confused about this20:39
ranixin e1620:39
markizanoah20:39
n4dirthe pager is the main reason i switched, ranix20:40
ranixit's sad but I don't think I have any use for e16 anymore20:52
ranixxfce is just better20:54
ranixI would use e16 if I didn't have 5 monitors20:54
ranixI remember the pager being a big deal when all I had was a 15" crt20:54
ranixI guess it's just a relic from a bygone agge20:54
EEEhi i started a convo on offtopic though I can continue here if you like22:20
golinuxofftopic is the appropriate place since it is not a devuan support question22:34
