| Guest24 | Hello! I'm planning on migrating from Gentoo. Any caveats/newbie boilerplate I should be aware of? | 00:26 |
|---|---|---|
| critr | learn apt package manager? | 00:43 |
| golinux | Guest24 Read the release notes and the "install" and "packages" pages if the website | 00:44 |
| golinux | if > of | 00:44 |
| golinux | Any questions, ask here . . . | 00:45 |
| Guest24 | Sounds good, thanks. | 01:28 |
| xrogaan | what do you mean by "migrating"? So long you install from scratch, I don't see an issue. | 01:33 |
| ShorTie | ya, there is no migrating, only a install over like | 01:47 |
| ShorTie | the live cd does a good job of installing, imho | 01:48 |
| Guest24 | I meant migrating as in "I use Gentoo right now but I'm going to switch." | 02:02 |
| Guest24 | I have bought a new 1TB SSD that I wish to install it on so it's not going to be a *huge* issue. | 02:02 |
| Guest24 | I was deciding between Devuan and Slackware. | 02:02 |
| Guest24 | s/and/or | 02:03 |
| blockhead | my first ever distro was gentoo (long story) - so based on my experience: installing devuan will be so quick and easy by comparison | 02:17 |
| Guest24 | my first was Slackware back in the day. I've used a lot of different distributions. I tend towards Slackware but honestly I'm getting old and lazy I guess. :) | 02:24 |
| user____ | WARNING: applying the latest updates (don't know which exactly) on Beowulf Xfce destroys the desktop icon ordering, must be redone by hand afterwards. Take a screenshot before updating ... I bulk updated and got the desktop turned into dogfood. | 09:48 |
| user282069 | how can i disable mouse acceleration in chimaera? | 09:53 |
| user282069 | mate-desktop does not maintain its keyboard layout. with multiple keyboard layouts, it seems to randomly switch around regardless of whatever preferences are checked. | 09:57 |
| Guest88 | hi all. im try to install it from arch. i want to bootstrap it from archlinux. why i didnt find an 'apt-static' package into repo. So im kindly asking for that someone please PUT a statically linked 'apt' package link to main install page that EXPERTS can easily bootstrap from other distros. | 13:43 |
| Guest88 | of course if devuan support such type installation | 13:43 |
| sadoon_albader[m | I thought that was done using debootstrap? | 13:47 |
| sadoon_albader[m | It's a much easier method | 13:47 |
| Guest88 | so thanks ,im going to try it. | 13:48 |
| sadoon_albader[m | No problem, good luck! | 13:49 |
| user____ | So, anyone else lose their icon settings on the desktop with xfce4 and the recent updates? | 14:20 |
| user____ | *lost | 14:22 |
| UsL | only icons I have is removable media. | 14:36 |
| user____ | The icons don't disappear, they reappear "bunched", ordering and placement lost. | 15:59 |
| user____ | And I don't know which package updated exactly does this. | 15:59 |
| user____ | Because I bulk updated all (40 or so items) | 15:59 |
| golinux | The icons got screwed up in chimaera | 16:46 |
| user____ | Do you know which package update did it? | 16:55 |
| user____ | golinux: ? | 16:55 |
| Tenkawa | bb|hcb: hey.. just got back from the multi day appts and yard maint.. was anything figured out on that apt problem we discovered? | 16:56 |
| brocashelm | xfce is also a bit more bloated as of 4.16. not a devuan problem, but a lot of changes upstream since then | 17:00 |
| user____ | Eww | 17:01 |
| brocashelm | i think i did have that problem with the desktop icons when i upgraded to chimaera/ceres last year. luckily, they were very few icons and i just sorted them manually again | 17:01 |
| golinux | It is fixed is the default theme. Paths changed | 17:16 |
| golinux | https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=15085 | 17:17 |
| golinux | That explains the changes | 17:17 |
| golinux | The deepsea icons are linked correctly. Bets are off for any other themes. | 17:18 |
| golinux | user____: ^^^ | 17:18 |
| user____ | Is that released by gnome.org </sncr> | 17:21 |
| user____ | golinux: my error was jumbled icon position, not missing icons | 17:21 |
| user____ | As to theme, I use the default one. | 17:22 |
| user____ | Daft question: I have pulseaudio deinstalled yet ~/config/pulse shows recent (today) activity | 17:28 |
| user____ | https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xfce#Desktop_icons_rearrange_themselves icon arrangement related | 17:45 |
| user____ | In general, as usual, arch docs are excellent. | 17:54 |
| bb|hcb | Tenkawa: https://bugs.devuan.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=625 are you refering to this one? | 19:14 |
| Tenkawa | yeah.. reading the followup now | 19:16 |
| Tenkawa | still doesn't explain why that only occured chimaera forward | 19:19 |
| Tenkawa | but as long as the patch works thats good | 19:21 |
| Tenkawa | afk.. need to go run outside and put up yard stuff. | 19:22 |
| bb|hcb | I can explain - until Debial buster they were merged | 19:22 |
| Tenkawa | bb|hcb: ah | 19:23 |
| bb|hcb | With Debian bullseye arch:all got separated and needed additional config for the repos | 19:23 |
| bb|hcb | Thank you for reporting this :) | 19:23 |
| Tenkawa | so they broke out the repo config itself | 19:23 |
| Tenkawa | thats kind of potentially messy | 19:24 |
| bb|hcb | Not exactly, they didn't break it, but made all to be separate to avoid duplication across different arches | 19:24 |
| Tenkawa | not "break" broke out is a term meaning seperated | 19:24 |
| bb|hcb | Oops, sorry, I am skipping words :) | 19:25 |
| Tenkawa | nod.. ok I'll be back.. need to go do these chores real quick. | 19:26 |
| Afdal | So uh | 23:24 |
| Afdal | You guise aren't going to abandon 32-bit soon like certain other distro bandwagoners, are you? | 23:25 |
| chozorho | *shrug* | 23:31 |
| chozorho | ~~who cares~~ | 23:31 |
| Tenkawa | chozorho: many care | 23:54 |
| Tenkawa | there is still quite a bit of 32 bit in use | 23:54 |
| Tenkawa | and will be for some time | 23:55 |
