Uraharahow does one easily create a network bridge to connect a distro from lxc container to the host?04:53
APicHi. I am trying to install Devuan on a libvirt-VM, via emulated Serial-Console instead of Graphics, so i can paste the Crypto-Passphrase instead of manually typing it. The Command „virt-install --virt-type kvm --name Brezn3 --os-variant debian10 --disk size=130 --memory 1024 --graphics none --video virtio --console pty,target.type=virtio --serial pty --extra-args 'console=ttyS0,115200n8 ---15:38
APicconsole=ttyS0,115200n8' --location https://devuan.bio.lmu.de/devuan/dists/stable/main/installer-amd64/“ works fine, but it brings me to the normal Installer, but i want the expert Installer. What additional Parameter do i need to choose the expert one?15:38
APicAlso, i can only choose Languages C and English, but i would like German15:40
fsmithredAPic, there's a choice in the boot menu that brings you to other boot options. That's where you will find expert install.15:44
APicfsmithred: Yes, but this Boot Menu is not shown when i use this Command to attach the Terminal to the Serial Console instead of using Graphics15:46
fsmithredadd boot option Priority=low (I think)15:47
fsmithredgive me a minute and I can check the right wording15:47
APicOk, probably add this to --extra-args also?15:48
fsmithredI don't know that one15:52
fsmithredAPic, it's priority=low (all lower case)15:57
APicThanks15:58
fsmithredbrb15:59
APicYes, when i add „priority=low“ to --extra-args i seem to get the „Expert Install“. Thank You very much!16:01
* APic still can choose only Languages English and C, but that is not fatal; i can install it in English and add and set the German Locale afterwards ☺16:02
APicAlso looks like i do not need the console= Parameter twice separated with ---16:03
fsmithredI think anything after the --- gets applied to the installed system16:04
APicic, thanks!16:04
* APic very new to libvirt-Stuffs ☺16:04
fsmithredthat's just the installer. Nothing to do with libvirt. (which I also don't know)16:05

jason1234I am using lfplayer to list and view music/movies on the framebuffer. I need a xlock on fb aka   fblock. Do you know a lock or screen saver on framebuffer? Is there a little code like bezier using sdl 1.2 (source: https://gitlab.com/openbsd98324/lfplayer )16:33
blockheadfor just blanking on the framebuffer, I do "setterm --blank=10" which sets it to blank after ten minutes.  For lock, I don't know.  run it in screen and then detach and log out? (and log back in and reattach later)17:11
ham5urgIs there a howto to edit /etc/network/interfaces to get a laptop run as a wifi-repeater?19:45
golinuxThere might be something in here https://www.devuan.org/os/documentation/install-guides/chimaera/network-configuration19:50
ham5urggolinux, nice site. thanks20:00
rwpham5urg, What are the two devices you are repeating?  WiFi to the WAN and ethernet to the LAN?  Or the reverse?  Or something different?20:11
gnarfaceham5urg: there's way to do it with bare network configs and firewall rules but it might be easier to just use hostapd20:25
gnarfaces/might be/is probably/20:26
rwpMy house router uses hostapd with bare configs and it works well.  I have used Pi's and laptops for repeaters before.20:28
ham5urgYes, I've found hostapd. Looks good.20:29
rwpWhat direction through the laptop are you trying to go?  WiFi -> wired ethernet?  Or something different?20:30
* rwp must eat lunch...20:31
ham5urgrwp, wifi-laptop-wifi20:38
bb|hcbham5urg: do you have two wifi adapters? that setup will not work with a single one, except on selected few devices that support virtual devices on top of the same HW20:40
bb|hcband then you will most probably have to share the same channel...20:41
ham5urgbb|hcb thanks for the info. I will check21:07
ham5urgIs there a way to check for virtual devices support  for a wifi card?21:28
bb|hcbNo idea, I never did that... :(21:30
rrqham5urg: how about https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Software_access_point#Wireless_client_and_software_AP_with_a_single_Wi-Fi_device22:05
gnarfacehuh, i wouldn't have even considered doing it with one wifi device to be possible, and i wouldn't have thought to mention that having two was a necessity because it's such a given to me22:10
gnarfacein fact, it still makes me a bit leery ... i'd think 2 is probably more secure22:11
gnarfaceand for what it's worth you can find really cheap usb ones these days22:11
VallLooks like Devuan got ranked (again and by another source) among the top 10 Debian-derived distros: https://www.makeuseof.com/best-debian-based-linux-distros/22:32
Vall#6 in 10, which all of us here know is BS -- Devuan is #1 easily ;-)22:33
VallSeriously, congrats to the team22:33
golinuxVall: This is the best ranking . . . We're #2 https://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=ranking22:42
golinuxafk again22:42
Vallgolinux: agreed re: distrowatch22:54
