sadoon_albader[mHeads up guys, this bug affects us14:48
sadoon_albader[mhttps://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=188209314:48
sadoon_albader[mAnyone using ppc64le and using libvirt in usermode, don't waste hours like I did :)14:49
sadoon_albader[mUpdate libvirt0 from ceres to 7.6.0 and it should fix the issue14:49
sadoon_albader[mDidn't break anything on my side14:50
sadoon_albader[mOr you could try to manually patch version 7.0.0 which ships with chimaera, but that might be painful14:51
zereshkHello there, been a while since I last used IRC, any ips welcome! This is about a freh install of devuan: I cannot even log in... Entering user and password works. Then nothing... Has someone a tip - or should i re-install?15:01
zereshk'tips'15:01
sadoon_albader[mbeowulf?15:01
zereshkYes, latest release, downloaded today.15:02
sadoon_albader[mHi there * Beowulf :P15:02
sadoon_albader[mdid you try logging in as root?15:02
zereshkYes, sorry, beowulf15:02
zereshkIf I did it the right way, yes: On install, set the password. Entered 'root' as username + pw. Same result. Nothing happens...15:03
sadoon_albader[mI would reinstall, something's gone awfully wrong if you can't login at all15:04
sadoon_albader[mAnything special you did in the install phase?15:04
sadoon_albader[mFilesystems etc15:04
zereshkI see... I don't think I did anything out of the ordinary. Just now do not recall all steps...Am reasonably well acquainted with Linux, terminals too. Am not a developer though :)15:04
zereshkThank you! Will reinstall, safest route, perhaps.15:05
sadoon_albader[mYeah :)15:05
sadoon_albader[mnp15:05
sadoon_albader[mWhich installer are you using btw?15:05
zereshk:)15:05
gnarfaceif networking is improperly configured there might be a long authentication delay15:25
gnarfacedepending on what's installed and how it's configured15:25
gnarfacei wonder how long it was given before the machine was rebooted15:25
zereshk@saadon_albader[m sorry, didn't notice your last question: DL .iso, made USB, Live USB + GUI. Sorted the problem, rather mundane really: It's my keyboard layout... (German, on install was English, keys did not match when I tried logging in... )15:31
zmomentHi, I'd like to run Devuan Beowulf in a FreeBSD's bhyve virtual machine.  The installation is done, but cannot run mate desktop.  /var/log/Xorg.0.log has some complains about (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory18:18
zmoment(EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory18:18
zmoment(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libfbdevhw.so18:19
zmomentbut fails again when trying to open /dev/fb018:20
zmomentxserver-xorg-video-fbdev is installed18:21
zmomentelogind-daemon is running18:21
user____zmoment: on the bsd side, what screen card emulation do you have enabled18:23
user____Reading on bhyve it looks like it wants VNC graphics mode in qemu terms.18:24
zmomentthe host is running with a amd radeon gpu (radeon for the old cards)18:25
user____zmoment: "Since the support for peripherals is incomplete, hardware-accelerated graphics is only available using PCI passthrough. But, Intel GVT (and other vGPUs with driver support) should allow sharing the device with the host.[9]" -- no radeon unless pci passthrough selected18:25
user____ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhyve18:25
user____now look up "pci passthrough", it is tricky from what I remember, vaguely, in another qemu context18:26
user____I have no experience with bhyve18:26
user____Good luck. I think you need to ask this in #freebsd too, the solution is on the bhyve side.18:26
zmomentI'd be happy with frame buffer, as I only have one gpu and don't want to passthrough it18:26
user____Well then I can't help you...18:27
zmomentthanks user____!  You already helped :-)18:27
user____https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve/blob/master/sample-templates/config.sample "frame buffer" -- do you have that on?18:28
user____Do you get any graphics at all? I assume you don't?18:29
user____Also, mate won't start on 800x600 for sure18:29
user____1024*768 should be minimum I think18:29
zmomentI had 800x600, have to correct this.18:31
user____Also the other options are intriguing. The wait option in particular and vga io ...18:31
zeronA quick question: is the GUI installer capable of creating LVM over luks?18:38
Xenguyzeron, Yes I believe so18:53
XenguyActually hang on...18:53
XenguyI usually use the text install, and there the answer is 'yes'...18:53
XenguyI have no personal experience with the GUI installer18:53
zeronI don't think it can. :( It can encrypt a partition with luks, but I didn't see any choices to create an LVM.18:56
zeronOh well... I'm used to debian's text installer.18:56
golinuxThere are instructions in this how-to https://beta.devuan.org/os/documentation/install-guides/beowulf/live-gui18:57
golinux3.2) Encryption: The installer can only encrypt root and home filesystems , , ,18:57
golinuxTake a look.  May or may not be what you want.18:58
zeronI saw that guide. It can encrypt partitions with luks, but there's no mention of LVM.18:59
golinuxWell they both begin with the same letter . . .LOL!19:01
Xenguyzeron, Simplest to just try the text installer then19:01
zeronYeah, I'm running it as we speak.19:03
zeronIt appears the text installer can't do that neither. :(19:04
XenguyPerhaps I'm not clearly understanding your situation...19:04
zeronI can create all the partitions and configure LVM manually, but it would be good to know that this is necessary before starting the installer19:05
XenguyI only know that both LVM and luks are an option when I installed a fresh instance of Beowulf19:05
XenguyAh well, not a show-stopper then19:06
zeronThe situation is as following: I want to test Devuan. My usual setup is this: 1st partition is EFI, second partition is for /boot, 3rd partition is luks-encrypted. On top of luks I'm creating an LVM with 3 logical volumes: /root, /home and swap.19:07
zeronWhen I'm installing Debian I can do all of that in the text installer.19:08
zeronIf I encrypt /dev/sda3 manually and create the LVM, will the installer recognise it? Or do I need to manually create the crypttab and manually edit the fstab?19:12
zeronDoes anyone know this? Has anyone ever installed Devuan in an LVM setup?19:12
UsLI recall an user doing it a week or so ago.19:18
UsLor maybe two weeks. He had some questions and I think it was perhaps gnarface or fsmithred who helped back then. I remember thinking that some one should make a guide of it.19:19
zeronI agree19:21
UsLwhat I remember is that it was /boot that needed some extra care to work in a LVM19:23
zeronI'm not including boot in the LVM: in my setup /boot is a separate partition outside LVM.19:30
UsLthen it should be easier.19:31
zeronYes, it should. But right now, I cannot even encrypt it: cryptsetup says that /dev/sda3 is in use. Perhaps this because of several failed attempts to use the installer to accomplish this. I'll probably have to restart it. :(19:34
gnarfaceit was probably fsmithred that helped19:37
gnarfacei think you'll want to make sure to be in text mode and expert mdoe19:38
gnarfacemode*19:38
zeronHow do I get into expert mode in the text installer?19:38
judabudahello19:42
judabudacan you guys add trinitydesktop.org/ to DE choose in installation?19:43
gnarfacejudabuda: you could try the debian packages if they don't depend on any systemd stuff, or you could try building them without systemd requirements19:52
gnarfacejudabuda: it's not really advised to use stuff from 3rd party repos but it might work the same as debian19:52
gnarfaceif zeron comes back tell him it's in the advanced menu i think19:53
gnarfacefrom the boot menu of the installer image19:53
peterrooneyI am trying to solve a sound problem. First try: on machine A, beowulf, qsynth happily plays .mid files fed from pmidi. 4x2.5GHz, Machine B, chimaera, qsynth stutters and lags. haven't been able to find a buffer setting that reduces it, though I have managed to increase lag to as high as ten seconds.22:51
peterrooney... yet same midi files can be played flawlessly with vlc using fluidsynth plugin, no problems. I am wondering what is correct venue to ask questions about this, if not here.22:52
tr-amarsh04peterrooney I've taken to building my own kernels and occasionally trying the -rt varients if I've had audio issues22:59
peterrooneytr-amarsh04: already done.23:00
tr-amarsh04Have you asked in: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewforum.php?id=3 ?23:01
peterrooneynot yet23:02
tr-amarsh04Haven't specifically had that issue but did have this: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=28936#p2893623:06
peterrooneytr-amarsh04: that's a long list of headlines, it takes a minute or year to dig through.23:34
