pixtumHello, I recently installed devaun using the netinstall version of Beowulf and after the installer finished it didn't enable sudo, I tried running visudo but that didn't seem to work (says it's missing)01:58
gnarfacepixtum: it's maybe not in your path by default02:04
gnarfacepixtum: dpkg -S visudo02:05
gnarfaceyou will need to add users to the sudo group02:05
gnarfacepixtum: i think you might have to uncomment the sudoers line in the config too, i forget02:06
gnarfacepixtum: note that the default behavior of "su" also no longer inherits root's path so you should use "su -" to get the behavior you expect in that case02:07
gnarfacepixtum: and root's default path may no longer have /sbin or /usr/sbin in it either, sadly enough02:10
gnarfacepixtum: check /etc/login.defs around about line 102 i think?02:12
systemdleteSo I start with a brand-new VM.  Clear out .mozilla directory.  start firefox.  Configure it to restore previous session.  go to a static page I created.  quit firefox02:57
systemdleteopen firefox.  There is just one tab open, to my static page.  tcpdump, meanwhile is yacking away with packets to and from amazon, verizon, akamai, and some others.02:58
systemdleteI am going to guess this is normal, but... but...02:58
systemdletewhy?02:58
systemdletewhy all of this noise, with only one open tab in firefox on a static page???02:58
systemdletewhat am I missing here?02:59
gnarfacedisable all those features on the "blank" tab02:59
gnarfacethe suggestions, the search box, "Pocket"02:59
systemdletebut I don't even have that "blank tab" open!!!02:59
systemdletelol02:59
gnarfacedisturbing02:59
systemdleteWhen I say, "a static page", it is the one you get for free when you install lighttpd.03:00
systemdleteI modified it slightly to indicate the local server.  This way, I can be certain it is really my local server web page.03:00
systemdleteOK, I'll try getting rid of pocket, but does this mean it is "preloading" all that $#1+ ?03:01
systemdlete(so it will be ready to annoy me when I *DO* open a new tab?)03:01
gnarfaceprobably03:02
gnarfacei can't be sure03:02
gnarfacei think also something about the search bar preferences might phone home03:02
gnarfaceand maybe a password manager, depending on your settings?03:02
systemdleteWhat are "snippets?"  (Updates from mozilla and firefox)03:02
systemdleteddg03:03
gnarfaceupdates that bypass distro package management, i assume03:03
systemdleteI'd hope ddg would shut the %*&k up03:03
gnarfacethey might also be sneaking in telemetry with those, or accidentally turning it back on03:03
systemdleteI'm going to disable pocket AND snippets03:03
gnarfacein theory anyway03:03
gnarfacei would03:03
gnarfacesnippets i thought should have been disabled by default in the repo pacakge03:04
gnarfacepackage*03:04
gnarfacei would probably set the default home page to about:blank too03:04
gnarfacea local static html page should be about the same as long as it doesn't have any remote http calls itself03:05
systemdleteWell, that quiets it down a little maybe.  But I still get clownfront traffic03:06
systemdlete(I checked.  No js, no xhr calls)03:06
gnarfacethere's something else03:07
systemdleteok, I'll try your idea (about:blank)03:07
gnarfacei'm forgetting something else i think03:07
gnarfacedns over https?  is that enabled by default now too?03:07
systemdletestill getting aws crap03:08
gnarfacedo you have it backing up bookmarks somewhere?03:09
systemdletea little birdie is telling me I probably dont' need all that damn traffic on my network.  Esp when I am not asking for it!03:09
gnarfaceor fetching them for offline use or something?03:09
systemdletenope.03:09
systemdletethis is a brand new system.  And I had cleared the .mozilla dirctory03:09
systemdleteoh!03:09
systemdletecache!03:09
systemdlete(forgot that one)03:09
gnarfacehmm, the cache is connecing to akami?03:11
gnarface??03:11
eponywhy is #centos such a fag IRC channel.. I can't stand thoese people03:11
systemdleteno, I meant, I forgot to clear the .cache directory when I cleared the .mozilla directory03:13
systemdletedid not help though03:13
systemdletegnarface:  Any ideas on a browser that doesn't accumulate so much ***** either by the user or by itself?03:14
systemdleteI'm thinking that some of that traffic might be preloading for that input predcition thingy (it types for you as you input a site)03:15
systemdleteso far, I've seen verizon, cloudfront, cloudflare, aws, google, and some others.03:16
systemdleteI guess this is "useful" (Is that the correct term?)03:16
systemdleteI suppose that's why it's called fireFOX -- it IS quick.03:18
systemdletethe problem arises when I'm trying to debug a webserver (or even browser) problem and I have to filter all this other nonsense.03:19
gnarfacesystemdlete: not sure what's hip these days... palemoon?03:32
gnarfacesystemdlete: there is speculative link pre-caching, i believe, yes03:33
clort#devuan-offtopic pls03:40
systemdleteyes.  good idea, clort03:41
systemdletegnarface:  I figured out a workaround!  :D06:48
systemdletewget06:48
systemdlete(or curl)06:48
systemdletefor my testing purposes, that is sufficient.  And the browser noise goes away.06:48
gnarfaceah, well that's better then06:55
systemdleteso I am still shopping for a video card.  I forgot now which ones would work best with devuan beowulf.07:02
systemdlete(sorry, I know there are no ideal answers to this)07:02
systemdletedidn't you say the amd based ones might be ok?07:03
gnarfacesystemdlete: yes, their street cred is good lately07:04
systemdleteso does that mean only recent amd models?07:05
gnarfacesystemdlete: nah, the older ones should be pretty good too07:05
systemdleteok, I see at least one on newegg07:06
gnarfacesystemdlete: their linux support is solid, the older cards just aren't very fast07:06
onefangFor Beowulf it might be best to not get recent generations of AMD graphics, though the same likely applies to recent generations of nVidia as well.07:07
systemdleteonefang:  Right on!07:07
onefangI got an AMD RX 5600 XT, had to hack around a bit to get it to work perfectly with Beowulf.07:07
gnarfaceit isn't until you get to the very late radeonsi generations and early amdgpu stuff that the performance starts holding it's own against the equivalent nvidia hardware07:07
systemdleteI tend to stay away from recent hardware altogether.  I am still on Athlon and FX series processors here.07:07
onefangI recently upgraded to a full bleeding edge AMD system.07:08
gnarfacewell even nvidia's 1000 series cards, which they already consider old, are too new to run on the stock beowulf kernel & drivers, but the ones in backports work07:08
systemdletebe careful you don't cut yourself!07:08
* onefang looks at the healing wounds on my fingers. Um, too late. lol07:09
systemdlete:(07:09
gnarfacesystemdlete: the other one i suggested was matrox if you could find one07:09
systemdletethere is one there.  $64 Corn I think?07:09
systemdleteor was it korn07:09
gnarfacesystemdlete: too much07:09
gnarfaceyou want like a matrox g200 for $907:09
gnarfacenot sure about korn or corn07:10
systemdletehttps://www.newegg.com/p/27N-003A-00002?Item=9SIA4RE78Y1299&Description=hdmi%20video%20card&cm_re=hdmi_video%20card-_-27N-003A-00002-_-Product07:10
gnarfaceoh, never heard of them07:11
systemdletecheapest hdmi for radeon is $4307:11
gnarfacewill need firmware, will work with the radeon driver07:13
gnarfaceaccording to google anyway07:14
gnarfacelooks like it should do it07:14
gnarfacei'm not sure maybe the radeon firmware is open source now though07:14
gnarfaceyou'll have to check though07:14
gnarfacethis looks new enough it's probably not07:14
gnarfacebut not new enough to use the amdgpu driver, it's still using the radeon driver07:14
systemdleteWe're still talking about the Corn?07:15
gnarfacethis i think suggests you can get a very stark performance boost by rebuilding the kernel with the radeonsi scheduler btw07:15
gnarfaceyes07:15
gnarfacethe only thing is it looks like a budget card with cheap ram and i've never heard of that brand so i can't be sure it's any good07:15
systemdletethis is for a test box, but I get your meaning.07:15
systemdletegood is the key word here.  Good enough to work is all I need.07:16
onefangLook at when the kernel you are using got released, look at the graphics cards supported by that kernel, back up one generation from then.07:19
clorti got the ryzen2700u and gpu didn't work at all due to a bad BIOS implementation by Acer07:20
systemdletehttps://www.amazon.com/XFX-Radeon-Profile-PCI-Express-ONXFX1STD2/dp/B007QXLHE2/ref=sr_1_11?dchild=1&keywords=hdmi+video+card&qid=1606544519&refinements=p_n_feature_keywords_five_browse-bin%3A8259091011&rnid=6147185011&s=pc&sr=1-1107:23
systemdleteIt's only $40 with shipping07:24
onefang$40 with shipping from Amazon?  That's be a photo of a graphics card in a huge box.07:25
systemdlete???07:26
systemdletesorry, having difficulty understanding what you are saying.07:26
onefangThat in my experience Amazon shipping is sometimes over the top expensive.  lol07:27
systemdleteyou know, I am tempted to go back to my plan A:  Order a dvi-hdmi adapter and go back to doing other things that I care about a lot more.07:27
onefangSounds much simpler.07:28
systemdletevery simple07:28
hook54321does anyone know if a machine like this would work well with devuan? https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-tuf-gaming-15-6-laptop-intel-core-i5-8gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1650-ti-256gb-ssd-black/6425894.p07:28
systemdleteand there's little that can go wrong.  I have one already.  It would be fine for what I'm doing.07:29
hook54321meant to post this, but that one too. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-pavilion-15-6-gaming-laptop-amd-ryzen-5-8gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1650-256gb-ssd-shadow-black/6427566.p07:29
systemdlete(Is this off-topic at this point?  i'm really not sure.  Seems like support to me, but others may feel differently.)07:29
systemdleteand onefang, I've been shopping on newegg lately because I don't want Jeff to get too much more of our money.  He has enough of it already I think.07:30
onefangNewegg is where I bought my bleeding edge AMD parts.07:31
onefangNow we are off topic.  lol07:31
systemdleteDone.  Adapter/converter on its way.07:35
systemdleteMeanwhile, I am still trying to figure out why my devuan install on my test box somehow rendered the other partitions unbootable.07:36
systemdleteI've tried using grub, grubrescuecd, bootrescue, and a few others.  The gpt is still there, but nothing boots as before.07:37
systemdleteeven the ascii partition that was on it is kaputt.07:37
systemdleteit is only a testbox after all.  I just wonder why this would happen.07:37
systemdleteFor me, I can easily afford to torpedo the whole damn disk and repartition it from scratch.  I don't care.  But this is a bit unnerving.  I am thinking of what could happen with the box I use regularly.07:38
systemdletewhen I upgrade to beowulf I mean.07:38
systemdleteDo we (devuan/debian) have some handy-dandy tool to analyze the entire disk for partitioning, partion boundaries, etc?07:40
clortwell hardware compatibility with linux kernel affects devuan, though it's not devuan-specific07:41
systemdleteso that video card that rots might have something to do with it?  It seems far-fetched, but at this point, I'd buy into that theory.07:42
n4dirfdisk, parted, gparted, probably more07:43
systemdleteThe only other thing I can think of... and this is probably just as far-fetched, is that I was playing with kvm VMs (virt-manager) and I am wondering if maybe there is some bug somewhere that might have nicked my gpt somehow.07:44
systemdleten4dir, see above.  I've tried them all at this point.  None of them indicate any problem with the partioning, though.  It's just that none of them will boot properly.  The nearest I got was landing in a grub rescue shell or a initramfs env07:45
systemdleteI guess I should have mentoned this also.07:45
systemdlete*mentioned07:45
* systemdlete : FINGERS!07:45
systemdlete*partitioning07:45
systemdlete(ugh)07:45
onefangTry booting from an external thingy that has rEFInd on it, that'll scan for EFI bootable things and give you a menu.  Might help figure out what's wrong.07:46
systemdletehmm.  Good idea!  thanks07:46
systemdletewell, that didn't work.  At all.  After selecting the thumb drive at the hardware boot menu, it just hangs in darkness.07:58
systemdleteI wonder if the drive...07:58
systemdletethat drive is only about a year and a half since I installed it.07:58
systemdlete(the thumb drive?  That seems to work ok though)08:05
onefangMight be a BIOS / EFI issue rather than a GPT issue then.08:11
systemdletebad archive mirror during install (beowulf x86_64 netinstall)09:54
systemdleteyet if I ping deb.devuan.org, it is fine09:55
systemdleteI take that back09:56
systemdleteLooks like my local network has sprung a problem.   Funny how it is flakey this way.09:56
systemdleteI think it might be the nic in the test box.09:56
systemdletedebian/devuan lovers might hate this, idk.   On my testbox, with the video card that doesn't work so hot (blank screens, e.g. and possibly other unstable behavior), the ONLY OS I've been able to boot so far (all my partitions came back?  Even when the devuan installer said it only found 1 OS?) that would boot was not devuan.11:28
systemdleteIt was my adelie.  And that's a very old install, btw.  I don't think that is even RC2.11:28
systemdleteIt booted right up into sddm.  No hesitation, no flashing, no stuttering, no nothing.  Just some old-fashioned desktop goodness.11:29
systemdleteAdelie *is* running with a much newer kernel.  It is 5.4.5 iirc with some backports for 64 bit time (I think).11:30
systemdleteSo maybe it has newer video drivers for the nouveau (adelie doesn't support proprietary software as much as possible)11:31
systemdletebut that grub business really makes my head spin.  I do not get that at all.11:32
systemdleteWhen I tried to boot the justnow-installed beowulf, it started out OK, but when it got to the graphical phase, the screen went dark and that was the last I heard from it.  I even waited a couple of minutes, since maybe it was testing various video modes.11:33
systemdletesame for the ascii partition, which has been there forever just about.  I haven't done much with that one for many months now.11:33
onefangPart of what I needed to do to get my bleeding edge graphics to work well was to upgrade to the Beowulf backports 5.8.0 kernel.11:34
onefang5.8.10-1~bpo10+111:34
* onefang wanders back to the kitchen for more cooking stuff.11:35
* systemdlete really scratching head very, very hard now...11:38
systemdleteSo I boot kernel, passing 3 to it (console mode?) and now...11:38
systemdleteNOW, now I get a login prompt in graphical mode.11:38
systemdlete(https://www.linuxuprising.com/2020/01/how-to-boot-to-console-text-mode-in.html)11:39
* onefang lends your more fingernails for head scratching.11:39
systemdletePlease be honest with me:  Am I just having too much fun with my testbox?  Or have I accidentally admitted daemons to my lair?11:39
systemdlete(thank you onefang.  It feels good to be "loved" that way...)11:40
onefangYou can't have both?11:40
systemdletetrue11:40
systemdleteIs passing "3" the kernel command line at boot not the way to get console?  (I thought it was "1" not "3")11:41
systemdleteoh... is that for systemd maybe (I didn't notice that the 1st time I read that link)11:43
onefangIf you are talking sysv init run levels, 1 might be correct off the top of my head.11:44
fsmithred3 will get you to multi-user console on some distros that are set up for that.11:44
fsmithredrefracta is one, sidux was one, I think others might be like that.11:45
systemdleteright.  Seems like the old standard has morphed and diverged considerably.11:45
fsmithredwhat old standard?11:45
systemdleteSo, basically, for us non-systemd folk, 1 single (console) and 3 for graphical11:45
fsmithredredhat and suse have 5 as default runlevel.11:45
fsmithredin debian, 2-5 are all the same11:46
fsmithredand 2 is default11:46
onefangThe old "standard" of which sysv init runlevels mean what.  Not sure it ever was standardised outside of actual System-V.11:46
fsmithredwell, not anymore...11:46
systemdletefsmithred:  I don't remember clearly now.  But it seems like years ago, 1 or S was single user and would get you a console.  5 would get graphical on most systems (Sun or Amdahl)11:46
fsmithred1 is single user everywhere, I think11:46
systemdleteand for a while, 6 was reboot11:46
fsmithredstill is, isn't it?11:47
systemdleteexcept in systemd land, apparently11:47
systemdlete(see link)11:47
fsmithredyeah, not instead of a single digit, you get to type a whole bunch of words11:47
fsmithrednot/now11:47
systemdletehow convenient.  (not)11:47
systemdleteglad I'm in THIS channel11:48
onefang"Dear Mr P, please let me reboot."11:48
fsmithredthat would be easier to remember11:49
systemdletefsmithred, by default, beowulf (without me touching ANYTHING) booted to a blank screen.11:49
fsmithredI don't think that's a new feature, systemdlete11:49
systemdletelol11:50
fsmithredbeen hearing about that for about as long as I've been using linux11:50
systemdleteI don't know.  I've seen it here and there with this or that distro/release, but generally, new installs worked OK for me.11:50
fsmithrednew vid card?11:50
systemdleteyup11:50
fsmithredhave fun11:51
systemdletenvidia GT71011:51
systemdletewhy, is this SuSE?11:51
systemdletewhat do you mean?  You can't just walk away!   No, wait!  Come back here!!!!11:51
fsmithredueaj. O meeed tp fomosj ,u forst cpi[ pf cpffee11:52
systemdleteI hear you.  I know that well.11:52
systemdleteOne thing I will not do is stand between a person and their first cup of coffee.11:52
systemdleteOr their second.11:52
fsmithredhave you tried chimaera/ceres with it yet?11:53
systemdleteno11:56
systemdleteIn fact, I've never tried those ever11:56
systemdleteI tried "1" and I get a maintenance prompt.  "3" got me to the sddm login (once at least).11:57
fsmithredit was beowulf that gave you graphical login with 3?11:57
systemdleteyeah11:57
systemdleteLet me try that again and see if it is consistent.  Gimme a sec11:58
fsmithredthat shouldn't make any difference11:58
systemdletethis time, "3" just hangs in darkness.  I don't know, maybe it will come up at some point... some day12:02
fsmithredoh, I've seen that12:03
fsmithredin beowulf, before we released it12:03
systemdleteI mean, like more than a minute12:03
fsmithredyes12:03
systemdletehmmm.  OK, I'll check every few moments or so12:03
fsmithredsudo go make a sandwich12:03
systemdlete"OK, I will make you a sandwich."12:03
onefangI'm cooking a proper meal now, no mere sandwiches.12:04
onefangThough it does include some root vegies.  B-)12:04
systemdletefsmithred:  The first time, when "3" got me to the gui, I shelled out to tty2 and got a login prompt.  Pretty normal.12:05
fsmithreddid you try booting with 'nomodeset'?12:05
systemdleteThen I tried to switch back to tty7 and nogo.  Also tried tty1 (though normally it is on tty7, but console x startup can end up in tty1 also)12:06
fsmithredthose are all good things to try12:06
systemdleteyes.  I've tried that in the past.  It does work, but... uh.  It looks like a Commodore 64.12:06
fsmithredlol, wasn't so bad for me.12:06
systemdletefsmithred:  :p12:07
systemdletehappy you are having better results12:07
fsmithredI had an old nvidia card and got black screen without nomodeset. Then I replaced it with a newer nvidia card and got a black screen with nomodeset.12:07
onefangLooking like a Commodore Amiga would be much preferable.12:07
fsmithredI use nouveau now. Mostly because it gets refreshed on a warm reboot. The nvidia was holding stuff from the last boot.12:08
fsmithredno kidding. Whatever video I watched last would show up on the login screen.12:08
systemdletehey, just tried the shelling out trick.  Was able to see all 6 consoles.  But could not switch back to the black screen of tty712:08
fsmithredanything in .xsession-errors?12:09
fsmithredor Xorg.O.log?12:09
systemdletehaven't tried logging in actually.12:09
systemdletejust testing to see if it was alive.12:09
fsmithredbtw, I suck at this video troubleshooting12:09
systemdleteI'll have to reboot I think.  It is pretty locked up now12:09
systemdletenah.12:09
systemdleteI'd be hacking away the same way12:10
fsmithredHere's a refracta iso with bpo kernel if you want to try:  https://get.refracta.org/files/experimental/refracta-test-oblx_5.6bpo-20200625_1323.iso12:10
systemdlete2020/06/25 -- nothing newer, eh?12:10
fsmithredthere's a chimaera iso in the same directory, but no X installed in that one.12:10
systemdleteThat might make things a tad easier I suppose.12:11
systemdletewell, I can always add x later can't I?12:11
systemdleteOK, I'll try that.12:11
systemdletesee ya in a day or two...12:11
fsmithred???12:12
fsmithredyou going away?12:12
systemdleteif I install it, yes.12:12
fsmithredno travel is allowed!!!12:12
fsmithredjust put it on a usb stick and boot it12:12
systemdleteIt takes me forever to install these.  That's because I ponder over every last step in expert mode.12:12
systemdleteOH!12:12
systemdleteI thought you mean install12:12
fsmithredwhy install if you don't know if it works?12:13
systemdleteYou just want to see if the graphics card works with it.12:13
systemdleteBecause it's 3am here and I've been up since about 7am yesterday12:13
fsmithredI don't want to see anything.12:14
fsmithredoh wait, the chimaera iso does have X. Just no login manager.12:14
fsmithredand 5.9 kernel12:15
systemdleteI'll try that in the... well, whenever I get up, OK?  Then I'll report back what I found out.12:15
systemdleteI think I'm too tired to drive now.12:15
fsmithredsure. Have a good sleep.12:15
systemdletethanks for all you help.12:15
fsmithredyw12:16
kreyrenWhat was the way to make audio jack working on devuan? x.x13:01
* kreyren has new install13:01
IanJkreyren: are you trying to get sound working?13:20
kreyrenIanJ, yes >.>13:20
kreyreni got it to work like 5 days ago here installing some package and running `something init` O.o13:20
kreyrenbut i don't have log >.>13:20
IanJlet me see what I have installed13:21
kreyrenoke o.o13:21
kreyrenthanku ^-^13:21
IanJyou probably want pulseaudio13:21
* kreyren is trying to fix this for hour and half and is depressed over his failure to do that 13:21
kreyrenIanJ, ideally yes13:21
IanJso apt-get install pulseaudio13:22
kreyrenalready installed13:22
IanJI also have alsa-utils and alsa-tools installed13:23
IanJah, there was one thing I forgot13:23
kreyrenalsa-utils already installed, alsa-tools installing now13:23
IanJIn my user directory I put pulseaudio --start in ~/.xsessionrc13:24
IanJOtherwise the pulseaudio sound deamon isn't started it seems.13:24
IanJnot sure if that's the correct fix, but that was my fix.13:25
kreyrenpulseaudio daemon running already13:25
IanJOk, well you installed some other stuff now, so I would either reboot or restart it.13:26
kreyrenx.x13:26
IanJI had something funky going on where pulseaudio was running but I had no sound and pavaumixer couldn't see my soundcard.13:26
IanJbut after I restarted the daemon it could.13:26
IanJand now everything is working ok.13:26
IanJTry running pavucontrol and adjusting the sound settings, check your card is listed and selected.13:28
IanJsometimes they are muted.13:28
kreyrenI think i found the issue i am running it in qubesOS and the sound driver is not relayed correctly and that it needs `alsactl init` to work O.o So i will resolve that part with them13:31
kreyrenthanks IanJ ^-^13:31
IanJNo problem13:32
IanJI recently installed devuan and had an issue getting the sound working too.13:32
fsmithredpavucontrol?13:33
kreyrenfsmithred, eh?13:33
fsmithredand /etc/pulse/somenthing...13:34
fsmithredpavucontrol installed?13:34
kreyrenfsmithred, yes pavucontrol is installed13:34
kreyrenthe userland seems configured, but i am not getting the driver in /dev/../cards x.x13:34
fsmithredand you did the edit for autospawn?13:34
kreyrenno i am deploying pulseaudio through xinitrc using `pulseaudio -D` O.o13:35
fsmithredI think last time I told you 'aplay -l'13:35
fsmithredand you figured out something from that13:35
kreyrenuser@personal:~$ aplay -l13:35
kreyrenaplay: device_list:274: no soundcards found..13:35
kreyrenchecking qubesOS docs atm x.x13:36
IanJfsmithred: why on a non systemd system does it have a file with that default telling you to comment out for a non systemd system?13:36
* kreyren thinks to found the issue, has to take devuan qube down13:37
fsmithredbecause debian favors systemd and we don't fork pulseaudio to change one line.13:37
IanJ/etc/pulse/client.conf.d/00-disable-autospawn.conf13:37
IanJis that documented anywhere?13:38
IanJIt caught me out :/13:38
fsmithredin the release notes13:38
fsmithredit catches just about everyone13:38
IanJYeah :(13:38
fsmithredin the desktop-live, it's already done13:38
IanJI worked around it by adding a line to my .xsessionrc, I didn't know what the propper fix was.13:38
fsmithredproper fix is in the comments in that file13:39
IanJYep, I didn't know it existed as I didn't read the release notes :)13:39
fsmithredmaybe the release notes could be the desktop background image13:40
onefanggolinux would scream.13:40
fsmithredwe'll let her color it13:40
onefangPhew, crisis averted.13:40
fsmithrednot13:40
IanJfsmithred: desktop background wouldn't have helped me, I still have no desktop background as I didn't install a desktop. Just i3wm.13:42
buZzxsetroot -solid black13:42
buZzthats my background usually ;)13:42
IanJheh, Yeah that's how mine is right now :)13:42
onefangfeh --bg-scale '/etc/xdg/openbox/PureBlack.png'13:43
onefangThen I run a custom almost full screen conky on top of that.13:44
buZzi have the vague idea that not drawing a image as wallpaper saves a tiny bit of cpu and ram13:45
IanJI'm sure you're right buZz.13:46
onefangI just built a Threadripper 64 core with 256 GB RAM desktop.  Don't think I'll notice the load.13:46
IanJlol13:46
IanJI have a far more modest system :)13:46
IanJAs a secondary benefit I bet it keeps you warm :)13:47
onefangPlus, I didn't know about xsetroot -solid.  Now I do.13:47
buZz\o welcome13:47
onefangIn a heatwave right now, ask again about keeping warm in six months time.13:47
IanJhaha, it's bloody freezing here.13:48
buZz3C outside iirc13:48
buZzoh 4.513:48
buZzhawt13:48
KREYREENfsmithred, do you remember what command did you recommend me to use that initialized the alsa btw? i remember `somethingctrl init`? alsactl init?13:57
fsmithredalsactl init13:58
KREYREENthanks ^-^13:58
unixbsdhi15:30
unixbsdon mirro fra10 de leaseweb, can you add "stable" oldstable and sidß15:30
unixbsd?15:30
unixbsdcan you use img.gz and remove all those .xz? this is pointless and senseless to use xz. it brings nothing i.e. <5%.15:32
PsykukumberHi, everyone, recently installed dev1 on my netbook and can't figure out why xfce4-power-manager not working. It's just not going to suspend after lid is closed16:15
unixbsdyou may first test with dmesg/proc is the lid is seen, to be closed16:17
unixbsdfind /proc -iname  "*batter*" will show where the infos are located about bat.16:17
unixbsdfind /sys/devices -iname  "*capacity*" will show where the infos are located about bat.16:21
Psykukumberhere's what i got16:24
Psykukumbersudo find /sys/devices -iname "*capacity*"16:24
Psykukumber"/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/ata1/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/evt_capacity_change_reported"16:24

Psykukumberwell, i tried acpi_listen and it looks like that events logged correctly16:43
Atari-FroschIs jitsi-meet planned as devuan packet? When installed from the official source it comes only with systemd start scripts :-( (or did I miss something?)16:44
Atari-FroschI mean the server, of course.16:45
bruHello. I just looked on the Devuan package list of testing, and it's very well updated with Debian testing's one. How does it work, actually? Are the packages automated so it receives the latest update from Debian repos? (Whatever the answer this, congrats on having such a good package mainteinance from everyone who contributes)18:01
fsmithredbru, the magic is in amprolla. We host the forked packages and amprolla merges the debian repos, filters out the banned packages, and makes it look like we host all of debian packages.18:09
fsmithredwe match codename in devuan to codename in debian. Using 'testing' and 'stable' and 'unstable' will be out of sync when the next debian goes stable. We're always behind them on releases.18:10
onefangAnd the package mirrors either server forked Devuan packages directly, or redirect to Debian package mirrors for the unforked packages.  Amprolla creates the apt metadata so all of this happens transparently.18:13
bruAmazing! I just looked a bit on Amprolla, and found the Devuan talk about it last year, gonna watch it so I learn more about it!18:17
brocashelmyeah, indeed amprolla. it's why the devs recommend not mixing repos so that package dependencies aren't fudged. as long as you only get your packages from deb.devuan.org, the chances of something going wrong are almost nonexistent18:19
golinuxAtari-Frosch: Don't understand your question about Devuan jitsi18:26
Atari-Froschgolinux: Jitsi-Meet is not available in Devuan – or did I miss something?18:27
golinuxIf jitsi is in Debian we would provide it in the repos.18:28
golinuxIt is third party app18:28
Atari-FroschYes, but it comes with systemd start scripts only.18:28
golinuxSo afaik we will not be providing it18:29
Atari-Frosch:-(18:29
golinuxWe do have an instance running on Devuan infra so it is possible18:29
Atari-FroschToday I tried the fourth time or so, and always got stuck at some point. Today I even couldn't get the start page.18:31
Atari-FroschWell … fortunately it is only for me, not really important ;-)18:33
golinuxTried what?  To install it? or use it as a guest?18:33
Atari-FroschTo install it.18:33
golinuxGuess you'll need to find a way to remove that dependency then.18:50
systemdletefsmithred:  I booted your experimental ISO image from a thumb drive.  I can get consoles and even switch between what should by tty7 and back to the consoles (which I could not do with the standard issue beowulf).  But I cannot get graphics when (I think) I am in tty718:57
fsmithredstartx18:58
fsmithredshould bring up openbox18:58
systemdleteoh, so it doesn't start X on its own, ok18:58
fsmithreduh, live should18:58
fsmithredwhich iso?18:58
systemdleteooh, ooh, ooh18:59
systemdletethat works!  :D18:59
fsmithredchimaera01?18:59
systemdleteit's that ISO from I think june18:59
systemdleterefracta-test-oblx_5.6bpo-20200625_1323.iso18:59
fsmithredoh, ok18:59
fsmithredthat's beowulf with backports kernel19:00
systemdlete5.619:00
fsmithredyes19:00
fsmithredI think bpo is on 5.8 or 5.9 now19:00
onefang5.8, the one I said before.19:00
systemdletewould those be better?  any drawbacks?19:01
fsmithredyou could install from that iso with refractainstaller19:01
systemdleteYes, I could...19:01
fsmithredor use it to debootstrap an install to get the right kernel19:01
systemdleteBut I am also thinking in terms of upgrading my main desktop that I use everyday19:01
fsmithredascii to beowulf?19:02
systemdleteyeah19:02
systemdleteI mean, a fresh install of beowulf though19:02
onefangOh, 5.9 is available recently, I haven't updated to it yet.19:02
fsmithredsee the upgrade guides at devuan.org19:02
systemdletenot an upgrade per se19:02
fsmithredoh19:02
systemdleteyeah, fsmithred, I like to keep my existing installs around for a while until I am certain that the new install is stable enough etc etc19:03
systemdletefallback, just in case19:03
systemdleteI got bitten a few times with, I think, either CentOS or SuSE, idr now19:03
fsmithredI usually do that, too19:03
onefang5.8.10-1~bpo10+1 is what I got now from beowulf packports, 5.9.6-1~bpo10+1 is now available.19:03
onefangEr *backports*19:04
systemdleteMy DVI-HDMI adapter should be here in a couple weeks.  I also ordered a new HDMI card.  (early xmas for systemdlete!)19:04
systemdleteSo, at that point, I'll have lots of options.19:05
systemdleteSomething ought to work with my desktop!19:05
systemdletesome combo19:05
systemdletefsmithred:  I don't have any qualms about running your refracta spin on my hardware.  I am already using several StarLinux VMs.  (Star seems to be a different installer; the rest is just beowulf)19:07
fsmithredStar and Crows and Gnuinos all use debian-installer (devuan-installer)19:08
fsmithredsame as the installer isos19:08
systemdleteMy concern is only that if I am using a more recent (backports) kernel, and I have a problem with my hardware (or some other unrelated issue), what kind of support I would get.19:08
systemdlete(yeah, I am figuring that out!)19:08
fsmithredkernels are all unchanged from debian19:08
systemdleteI found the star installer pretty good.  I liked that it installed a basic system and I could add what I wanted.  But I guess any of them will do that.19:09
fsmithredpretty sure star and crows use only devuan repos. Refracta also does. Gnuinos also has guinos repo, but that's just for a few forked packages. Rest is devuan.19:09
systemdletegood to know.  ty.  I'll keep that in mind.  (Until I forget, that is... )19:10
fsmithredrefractainstaller just installs what's in the running live-iso19:10
systemdleteBut are backports OFFICIALLY supported?  Or just sorta kinda but but but?19:11
systemdleteThat's my concern.19:11
systemdleteIf the backports are fully supported by debian, then why aren't they part of the official release?19:11
systemdleteI worry about this kind of thing.19:11
systemdleteIf something breaks my system, I own both parts.  But that isn't much comfort when spending 2 days restoring files... been there a few times already.19:12
systemdleteOne possibility is to force a sync to a 3rd raid drive and save that separately.  Do the install and use the sync'd disk in case of a serious problem.19:13
systemdletebut I already have one bad disk (just bought it 3 months ago and it is failing, and that's after an RMA)19:13
systemdletePart of it is that I don't fully understand the difference in support between the official release and things like backports.  Is the level of support guaranteed to be more or less the same?  Sorry for all these questions and troubles.19:15
fsmithredwhat does "fully supported" mean?19:16
fsmithredI guess if you want to see what patches are applied to kernel, you can look at the debian security site19:16
user____1Hi. I updated firefox on beowulf. I see ESR 75.5.0esr -- is this what I should see?19:17
fsmithredprtty sure they don't apply patches to bpo kernels. They get applied to the main repo kernels and then whatver gets fixed in unstable eventually gets into backports19:17
fsmithred78.5.0esr-1~deb10u119:18
user____1You see that, where? In running ff -> About or in package version?19:18
fsmithredin beowulf19:18
user____1In what tool/package manager?19:18
fsmithredapt policy firefox-esr19:18
fsmithredafter recemt apt update19:19
user____1correct. Strange I was already oin 75.5.0-esr but from mozilla.org or whatever they call themselves now19:20
user____1*was on19:20
fsmithredI didn't know that mozilla offered -esr19:21
user____1they do19:23
user____1all versions are downloadable. Need to search a bit to find the archive.19:24
user____1single instance firefox launcher for linux, tested. Prevents multiple browsers opening, opens one with links opened later in tabs. By me. https://termbin.com/yujp19:25
user____1[recommended]19:26
systemdlete"fully supported" -- I suppose that just means "as supported as" the official release.19:26
user____1I'll never understand why firescrew are unable to handle very basic requirements such as launch new instance / no new instance and also open new tab vs new instance -- they don't seem to be on the ball wrt startups19:26
user____1systemdlete: ?19:27
systemdlete(in response to fsmithred, not you, sorry)19:27
user____1ok reading backlog, joined late19:27
systemdleteuser____1:  You missed one of my rants about firefox19:27
user____1hey hey hey, post logs :)19:27
user____1wait I think I'm on on another device. Looking.19:28
systemdleteI opened firefox to a static web page (no javascript or other activity) but yet tcpdump was showing ff chugging away, hitting every website on earth and beyond19:28
systemdleteeven turning off pocket and some other crap19:29
systemdleteI think we figured out its part of that speculative url stuff.19:29
user____1sure. You need to turn off a bunch of stuff such as speculative preloading of "likely" links19:29
systemdleteyeah.19:29
user____1speaking of, today's "upgrade" from 75.5.0-esr to 75.5.0-esr deleted noscript. Just like that.19:30
user____1Had to reinstall it.19:30
systemdlete"likely" links.  IOW, links likely to take you to places where very wealthy people can make lots of money from us19:30
systemdletealmost all of the traffic I was seeing was for aws, verizon, google, etc19:30
systemdletebut anyway, user____1, good luck with your project!19:31
systemdlete(I am clueless)19:31
user____1which one?19:31
user____1and ff removed adblock for youtube too. Not nice.19:34
fsmithredI had my search box removed and the default search engine switched from ddg to google on an upgrade.19:36
user____1I ALWAYS have update search engines off.19:36
user____1checking now19:36
fsmithredI don't see that switch19:37
user____1indeed. about:config it is19:38
user____1where one also turns off "automatically install updates"19:38
user____1app.update.auto19:38
fsmithredthanks19:39
user____1ff is unable / won't invoke apt to do this anyway, it gets the upstream update instead19:39
user____1also turn off check sites and safe browsing in Settings19:41
user____1browser.search.update is the search engine updater19:41
user____1extensions.systemAddon.update.enabled auto updates extensions, you may want it off for manual ops19:42
user____1extensions.update.enabled is true etc etc. #firefox is a better resource than I am.19:43
systemdletesounds like s/t I ought to do as well...19:52
systemdlete(thanks for the tip)19:52

PlotVitalNPCBecause one just got here, and I'm starting to have to confront the fact that my laptop somehow lost not just its wireless connection manager, but possibly also whatever lets it use wired connections23:55
PlotVitalNPC(when I say 'one just got here', I mean an ethernet cable)23:56
PlotVitalNPCand I can see in synaptic that network-manager isn't installed23:57
