| Kitty | Ok, I got a fun dependency thing | 12:34 |
|---|---|---|
| Kitty | I want to install ipmitool | 12:34 |
| Kitty | apt-get install ipmitool wants to include mariadb-common and mysql-common. And I can see no reason why these should be in there | 12:34 |
| Kitty | apt-rdepends ipmitool does not list mariadb-common | 12:35 |
| Kitty | or mysql-common | 12:35 |
| Kitty | I can't see any of the packages involved having a dependency on these packages | 12:35 |
| Kitty | how do I work out why apt wants to install the m? | 12:35 |
| Kitty | aah, it's libsnmp30 that is depending on it | 12:40 |
| Kitty | libsnmp40 does not... | 12:40 |
| Kitty | oh well, time to move from beowulf anyhow | 12:47 |
| Kitty | with the new apt it removes old kernels, the readme mentions setting APT::Get::AutomaticRemove::Kernels to false. BUt I can't see any obvious way to do this ? | 13:17 |
| GyrosGeier | Kitty, in /etc/apt/apt.conf or a fragment in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d | 14:23 |
| GyrosGeier | the apt.conf(5) manpage should describe it | 14:23 |
| Kitty | I stuck it in /etc/apt/apt.conf which was empty | 14:30 |
| Kitty | thanks GyrosGeier | 14:54 |
| Zgredu[m] | Are there any guides on installing Devuan on software RAID? | 17:17 |
| GyrosGeier | same as Debian, I think | 17:19 |
| Zgredu[m] | I have no idea what I'm doing, don't know what you mean | 17:19 |
| GyrosGeier | it's a tiny bit annoying, bootable software RAID is tricky | 17:20 |
| GyrosGeier | there is a partition type "physical device for MD" | 17:20 |
| GyrosGeier | and a menu entry "configure MD" or similar in the partition editor | 17:21 |
| GyrosGeier | the difficulty is getting it bootable from any disk | 17:22 |
| GyrosGeier | and there are no good solutions for that even in the year 2021 | 17:22 |
| Zgredu[m] | I'm posting from Matrix, will you be able to see images if I send them here? | 17:23 |
| * Zgredu[m] uploaded an image: (59KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/TmxWVjBdLDmGQYHfONmodkhr/image.png > | 17:23 | |
| GyrosGeier | for MBR based boot with grub, it should work to create one big partition on each disk, use that as physical volume for MD, then configure MD to set up the RAID on top, then partition the RAID and install on top of that | 17:24 |
| GyrosGeier | the grub install then goes into the space behind the partition table, and grub understands software RAID | 17:25 |
| GyrosGeier | for EFI based boot, things are more difficult | 17:25 |
| Zgredu[m] | I need EFI unfortunately | 17:26 |
| GyrosGeier | I'd probably create one ESP on each disk | 17:26 |
| GyrosGeier | but there is no good way to keep them synchronized | 17:27 |
| Zgredu[m] | ESP? | 17:27 |
| Zgredu[m] | Oh, nvm | 17:28 |
| GyrosGeier | there is a nasty hack where you create the ESP on a RAID1 that has been created with 1.0 superblock format | 18:39 |
| GyrosGeier | which puts the RAID superblock at the end, beyond what the file system will read | 18:39 |
| [NoClan]GoAway | greetings. | 18:42 |
| [NoClan]GoAway | short feedback in regards to the "xen-balloon" process taking up all cpu cycles... | 18:43 |
| [NoClan]GoAway | with Devuan 5.0 testing the issues sems to be gone, the VM using 5.0 is running as expected. | 18:43 |
| [NoClan]GoAway | another slight problem though: the "de_DE@euro" locale is missing in the dpkg-reconfigure dialog...only the UTF8 ones are available... | 18:44 |
| [NoClan]GoAway | is there a workaround for that? | 18:44 |
| user282069 | how can i associate magnet links in the links2 browser? >_< | 18:45 |
| user282069 | is funny if other ppl here surfing on links2 ;;; but ye | 18:45 |
| user282069 | setting the mime type to 'application/magnet' or anything else i can think of to try all fail | 18:46 |
| GyrosGeier | [NoClan]GoAway, I think that should be called "de_DE.ISO-8859-15" | 20:08 |
| GyrosGeier | erm | 20:08 |
| GyrosGeier | not sure about the hyphens | 20:08 |
| GyrosGeier | but @something are variants, and "having an euro sign" is not a variant | 20:09 |
| [NoClan]GoAway | hm...maybe. yet in the 3.1 release it's called "de_DE@euro" | 20:16 |
| [NoClan]GoAway | stop... I just looked again, you're right. sorry. | 20:17 |
| [NoClan]GoAway | it's "de_DE@euro ISO-8859-15" | 20:17 |
| [NoClan]GoAway | I copied it from the "locale" output on the command line, that one says "de_DE@euro" | 20:17 |
| [NoClan]GoAway | so, yeah, probably the sameyet named in a different way | 20:18 |
| [NoClan]GoAway | since 5.0 is working as intended it's pretty sad that the locale is missing. | 20:18 |
| [NoClan]GoAway | fist the kernel in 4.0 is bugged, the backports one didn't help either, now 5.0 does what it should and the locale is missing... | 20:19 |
| [NoClan]GoAway | *first | 20:25 |
| [NoClan]GoAway_ | a "edit /etc/locale.gen and run locale-gen as root" did the trick, if anyone encounters asimilar problem. | 20:42 |
| [NoClan]GoAway_ | solved through the help of #devuan-dev | 20:42 |
| [NoClan]GoAway_ | and gnu_srs1 | 20:42 |
| rwp | [NoClan]GoAway, Re locale config: I have this scripted for provisioning new machines. https://paste.debian.net/1219876/ | 21:05 |
| [NoClan]GoAway | thanks. that'll come in handy :) | 21:06 |
| FilipZ | Hi! | 21:24 |
| FilipZ | How can I disable the super key shortcut? | 21:25 |
| FilipZ | So the windows wouldn't minimize on clicking it. | 21:25 |
| gnarface | xmodmap maybe? | 21:27 |
| gnarface | or something window-manager-specific | 21:28 |
| FilipZ | gnarface: I am just trying to make use out of it | 22:44 |
| FilipZ | How can I find out what exactly keyboard I use | 22:44 |
| FilipZ | It is one in the Dell Inspiron 15 7567 | 22:45 |
| gnarface | FilipZ: are you trying to disable a key on the keyboard or change the whole keyboard mapping? if the keyboard doesn't show up in lsusb i don't know how to tell what mapping it uses, but dell's website might say | 22:47 |
| gnarface | FilipZ: you can find out what signal a particular key is sending with xev | 22:47 |
| gnarface | there might be a gui tool in your window manager to handle keyboard configuration, i don't know | 22:48 |
| gnarface | xmodmap is for changing individual keys, but if you want to change the whole mapping you'd use "dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration" (and probably "dpkg-reconfigure locales" too) | 22:48 |
| FilipZ | gnarface: I would like to just disable that window minimizing on the Super key | 23:11 |
| gnarface | FilipZ: there might be a window manager setting for that, specific to the window manager you installed (i think xfce if you don't know what it is) | 23:18 |
| gnarface | FilipZ: it might be an optional panel you have to install, not sure | 23:18 |
| gnarface | FilipZ: hang out though, people around here know xfce way better than me | 23:18 |
| onefang | First thing is to tell us what window manager you use. | 23:19 |
| [NoClan]GoAway | maybe a "top" or even "htop" could help determine that | 23:26 |
| gnarface | this should work too: update-alternatives --display x-window-manager | 23:28 |
| onefang | Or pstree. Or what gnarface just said. | 23:28 |
| [NoClan]GoAway | hm, even better :) | 23:31 |
| [NoClan]GoAway | the first idea was a "ps uax |grep window" (or "X") but then this might not even work ^^ | 23:32 |
| onefang | That would find openbox ,the one I use, nor xfce, the default. | 23:32 |
| onefang | "update-alternatives --display x-window-manager" works well, though also shows any others you might have installed. I didn't know I had one called marco installed, part of MATE which I did have installed. | 23:33 |
| onefang | That WOULDN1T find openbox ,the one I use, nor xfce, the default. I meant to say. lol | 23:34 |
| onefang | That WOULDN'T find openbox ,the one I use, nor xfce, the default. I meant to say. lol Damn typoes. | 23:34 |
| [NoClan]GoAway | well, the command works well. it shows me I'm running iceWM | 23:47 |
| [NoClan]GoAway | too bad something's broken with iceWM though. the themes are not showing the colors and background images correctly. | 23:47 |
| [NoClan]GoAway | I guess some thingschanged from 2011 to 2021 in regards to the theme configs | 23:48 |
| [NoClan]GoAway | *some things changed | 23:48 |
| [NoClan]GoAway | and no, don't ask how I know about things from 2011... | 23:50 |
| critr | dconf-tools isn't in devuan any more? | 23:57 |
| gnarface | probably just repackaged, try "apt-cache search ^dconf" | 23:59 |
| critr | ok | 23:59 |
