KREYREEN | 0.83 of 10.83GB devuan sources seeded~ | 15:35 |
KREYREEN | ^-^ | 15:36 |
nemo | wow | 16:19 |
nemo | had no idea the devuan specific overlay sources were so large | 16:20 |
KREYREEN | hm O.o | 16:23 |
user____ | Has anyone got any info on using uio.ko and uio_pci_generic.ko ? I have trouble using the latter with a multi io PCI card, the uio_ driver claims there is no such device, the device works fine with it's own driver (parport_serial PCI 2S+1P card) | 17:22 |
user____ | So any info on bugs/etc concerning uio would be nice. I googled but am asking here too. | 17:22 |
gnarface | slow channel, user____, stick around | 17:33 |
nemo | for a generic question about kernel modules might want to try #debian or ##linux I imagine | 17:38 |
nemo | more active at least | 17:38 |
nemo | odds are devuan didn't touch that | 17:38 |
nemo | user____: could it possibly be a permissions issue though? | 17:49 |
nemo | user____: I mean, assuming everything else was correctly setup ☺ | 17:49 |
nemo | and while I know absolutely nothing about setting up uio pci, hopefully you've looked for clues in dmesg already | 17:50 |
nemo | getting some 404s in chimaera installing spring | 18:20 |
nemo | W: Failed to fetch http://debian.ipacct.com/debian/pool/main/a/allegro4.4/liballegro4.4_4.4.3.1-1_amd64.deb | 18:20 |
nemo | W: Failed to fetch http://deb.devuan.org/merged/pool/DEBIAN/main/s/spring/spring-common_104.0+dfsg-7_all.deb | 18:20 |
nemo | hmmm | 18:20 |
nemo | you know what | 18:20 |
nemo | I probably forgot to update lol | 18:20 |
nemo | sorry. | 18:20 |
nemo | one sec | 18:20 |
nemo | yep. that was it. my bad | 18:21 |
user____ | it is not a permission issue, the uio_pci_generic module does not export the files it should into sysfs per https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.12/driver-api/uio-howto.html | 18:28 |
user____ | kernel = 4.19* on Beowulf | 18:28 |
user____ | I assume bit creep hit the docs and they are way out of sync with reality. | 18:28 |
user____ | this is the howto which does not apply https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.12/driver-api/uio-howto.html | 18:35 |
user____ | All I have left is to check whether the device is not an old PCI 2.2 version hw which won't work with the uio_pci_generic driver. Bummer | 18:36 |
user____ | I've moved on to other ways to do what I need, it is working. | 18:42 |
user____ | There are signs online that uio_pci_generic is now a hisoric piece. Last patches are from 2012? | 18:47 |
user____ | Either that, or it is perfect <grin>. I've really moved on. Just saying. | 18:48 |

john009 | I registered a query a few evening back re: no wifi connection while trying to install devuan with the netinstall.iso. Someone suggested using a wired ethernet connection to facilitate the install, and then sort out the wifi afterwards. Good plan (thank you) and it worked, apart from sorting out the wifi now! | 19:32 |
john009 | Connection is random - for only a few minutes at a time (if that) - with frequent disconnects and reconnection (using the connman GUI (CMST)) being much less successful than the initial one (if at all). Error messages are either: | 19:32 |
john009 | 1. (In a CMST Warning box). We received a DBUS reply message indicating an error. | 19:33 |
john009 | Error name: net.conman.Error.Failed | 19:33 |
john009 | Error Message: Input/output error | 19:33 |
john009 | Or | 19:33 |
john009 | 2. The agent request failed before a reply was returned. | 19:33 |
john009 | The I discovered the 'connmanctl' command, which again only connects intermittently. Entries as follows: | 19:33 |
john009 | connmanctl> scan wifi | 19:33 |
john009 | Scan completed for wifi | 19:33 |
john009 | connmanctl> services | 19:33 |

user____ | is it possible that you have more than one connection manager running? | 19:39 |
user____ | not of the same kind, of course. | 19:39 |
metalune[m] | which init system is devuan using again? | 20:13 |
n4dir | sysv is default | 20:13 |
metalune[m] | and I can use e.g. runit? | 20:14 |
n4dir | you can choose openrc during installation, which is said to be experimental. I think you can later switch to, say, runit, but don't know much more | 20:14 |
metalune[m] | hum.. ok | 20:14 |
n4dir | well: i am pretty sure you can use runit, as fsmithred just uploaded a refracta-iso with it (just: a few weeks back) | 20:15 |
metalune[m] | I can't decide wether I want to try out GNU/Guix or Devuan | 20:15 |
n4dir | kind of a package-manager, right? | 20:15 |
metalune[m] | hum? | 20:15 |
metalune[m] | GNU/Guix is a distribution | 20:16 |
n4dir | oh, sorry. i didn't read the "or" but Guix on Devuan. My fault | 20:16 |
metalune[m] | and it runs the Libre kernel | 20:16 |
metalune[m] | heh, it's fine | 20:16 |
n4dir | Well, as Devuan is pretty comfortable, that is a quick "try". | 20:17 |
n4dir | So i would do it in that order. Have a look at devuan first, then Guix, as soon i have enought time and energy | 20:17 |
fsmithred | if you want libre devuan, use gnuinos | 20:17 |
metalune[m] | what is guninos? | 20:18 |
fsmithred | devuan respin with libre kernel | 20:18 |
metalune[m] | well, I don't need a respin to install a different kernel lolz | 20:18 |
metalune[m] | anyway, I'll take a look at it | 20:18 |
n4dir | probably not that hard to install the libre kernel on devuan itself, is it? | 20:18 |
metalune[m] | g2g | 20:18 |
fsmithred | here are some beowulf isos: https://www.gnuinos.org/Beowulf/ | 20:19 |
xinomilo | there are linux-libre repos (freesh) for debian/devuan. | 20:42 |
Wafficus | hi there, how do I update my timeclock on Devuan so that its Eastern instead of Central? | 22:51 |
DashiePie | it automatically set mine correctly | 23:01 |
DashiePie | I'm EST, and it's correct | 23:01 |
Wafficus | I have 04:01 | 23:01 |
Wafficus | and it should be 05:01 ... | 23:01 |
DashiePie | weird | 23:01 |
Wafficus | I used to live in Central a few months ago, so its probably on my end | 23:01 |
DashiePie | maybe | 23:01 |
DashiePie | well, I have MATE and all I did was right click on where the time was, preferences, time preferences | 23:02 |
Wafficus | I just use AwesomeWM, I don't use a DE | 23:03 |
DashiePie | ah, sorry, I've only ever used MATE/Gnome 2, so | 23:03 |
Wafficus | I think it might be in an ncurses menu within Devuan | 23:03 |
Wafficus | yeah, DE's are a waste, Openbox with Tint2 is better if you're going that route | 23:03 |
Wafficus | anyway, will figure it out somehow | 23:03 |
DashiePie | difference of opinion, we'll have to agree to disagree | 23:04 |
DashiePie | :P | 23:04 |
fsmithred | Wafficus, dpkg-reconfigure tzdata | 23:04 |
Wafficus | sam@devuandesktop ~ $ dpkg-reconfigure tzdata | 23:04 |
Wafficus | -bash: dpkg-reconfigure: command not found | 23:04 |
fsmithred | you need to be root | 23:05 |
Wafficus | yep that worked thanks! | 23:06 |
