nemofsmithred: so... the helpful folks in #debian found the rtw89 driver I was looking for in .16 kernel which isn't in sid yet (still on .15 there)01:37
nemofsmithred: so... I'm gonna wait a couple of weeks to see what shows up upstream01:37
nemoon the plus side, the firmware *is* in sid01:37
nemoafter that might look into backporting the module fixes01:37
nemoor just buying a usb dongle for the time being01:38
fsmithredwifi dongle? They're nice to have around for when you need it.01:55
fsmithredMine gets used once or twice a year.01:55
critrdo they make usb C wifi dongles?01:59
fsmithredI don't know, but I assume there are adapters.02:00
critri see usb C ethernet adapters which is even better. neat.02:09
nosystemdHey guys10:53
nosystemdI've installed devuan10:53
nosystemdand now10:53
nosystemdi'm running on devuan+gnome10:53
nosystemd:)10:53
nosystemdIt is fast as hell, it boots up so fast10:53
nosystemd:)10:53
nosystemdbut10:53
nosystemd:(    snapcraft is not avaialble in devuan10:54
nosystemdsudo apt install snapd10:54
nosystemdcant found10:54
nosystemdanybody how do you install proprietary?10:54
nosystemdIf i install proprietary from non sense tutorial, i would break my devuan "dontbreakdevuan"10:54
nosystemdGius10:55
gnarfacesorry nosystemd, snapd is on the list of packages they couldn't fix: http://packages.devuan.org/bannedpackages.txt11:00
nosystemdi found flatpak working in devuan11:01
nosystemdi've installed it  :)11:01
nosystemdsir gnarface   , after i install flatpak  ,11:01
nosystemdi have to add11:02
nosystemdflatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo11:02
nosystemdI'm bit nervious, is it ok to run this command11:02
gnarfacei honestly would not recommend using flatpack or snapd or any other packages from outside the repos11:02
nosystemddoes that command11:02
nosystemd`flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo`11:02
nosystemddoesnt break debian11:02
gnarfacesome people have used it successfully but there are multiple reports of it breaking stuff11:03
gnarfacemaybe there is a better source for whatever program you want?11:03
gnarfaceor an alternative that's in the repos?11:03
nosystemdIt was my only way to get new edge packages in devian11:05
nosystemdIf flatpak also break11:05
nosystemdisnt that isolated enviroment, why Flatpak breaks devuan ?11:06
gnarfacei don't know enough about it to know specifics, but usually package management that is not deb-dependency-aware inherently does11:08
gnarfacewhether it actually breaks something badly enough to disrupt the rest of the system seems to be a matter of installation choices11:09
nosystemdif i want to install like , other edge packages i'm stuck11:09
gnarfacenot necessarily11:09
gnarfaceyou could use a container, a vm, or just a chroot11:09
nosystemda container11:10
nosystemddocker11:10
nosystemd?11:10
nosystemdbut does it support gui11:10
gnarfacethe best ones don't11:10
gnarfaceunfortunately11:10
gnarfacedocker is an example of what i'm talking about though, yes11:11
gnarfacenot sure if it's any good; it generates a lot of support trouble too11:11
gnarfacei like qemu but there's no gui setup, you gotta type command-line options11:11
nosystemdLike i've to install https://robomongo.org/ , this robo3t,11:12
nosystemdIt have tar.gz , i think this could break debian11:12
nosystemdif i install11:12
nosystemdWhat should i do if? Any tips?11:12
nosystemdVm isnt useful, i'm in low resource11:12
gnarfaceif you compile a tar.gz that uses make, you can package it automatically on install with the checkinstall tool11:12
gnarfaceyou just install the checkinstall package, then instead of running "make install" you run "checkinstall make install" then follow the instructions11:13
gnarfacethat's much better than flatpack or snapd because you can remove or upgrade the package with apt11:13
nosystemdcould you please ellaborate on it? please give me tutorial on doing these11:14
gnarfaceif it's a properly debianized package that doesn't have systemd requirements though you can also probably just run dpkg-buildpackage on it11:14
gnarfaceelaborate on checkinstall? i literally just told you everything there is to know about it11:15
gnarfacebuilding the tar.gz itself you'll have to consult its own documentation for, i'm not familiar with that software11:15
gnarfaceman pages are your friends11:15
nosystemdyes thank you i've found wiki on checkinstall https://wiki.debian.org/CheckInstall11:16
nosystemdbut i think i've to give prefix while running ./configure, am i right?11:16
nosystemdif not given it would go to system packages and make frankenstein devuan11:17
gnarfaceyes, there are a few common options11:17
gnarface--prefix=/usr11:17
gnarface--sysconfdir /etc11:17
gnarfacesomething liek that11:17
gnarface--prefix=/usr is the important one, then there are a couple others you can tweak to get things closer to the debian filesystem layout11:18
nosystemdThanks11:20
nosystemdI've extracted that robo3t.tar.gz package11:20
nosystemdbut i couldnt find ./configure11:20
nosystemdi'm using docker for mongodb  : (11:23
nosystemdI want to run emacs on startup11:58
nosystemdin systemd i used to use .config/systemd/11:58
nosystemdadd emacs.service11:58
nosystemdand add client name11:58
nosystemdWhat is its equivalent to sysvinit?11:58
gnarfacenosystemd: shell script in /etc/init.d/12:14
gnarfacethere should be examples online still12:15
gnarfacemaybe check the forum, also documentation for debian wheezy used to cover it pretty well12:17
nosystemdThank you12:18
nosystemdso do you think i'm doing well come to devuan12:18
nosystemdI'm using devuan as my daily driver , desktop12:19
nosystemdI know "dont break debian "12:19
nosystemdalthough there wree much nonsystemd distro12:19
nosystemdbut i came to devuan because of12:19
nosystemdstability12:19
nosystemd:)12:22
nosystemdbut fine12:22
nosystemdit boots sofast12:22
gnarfaceyea, i think you made the right choice, i'm just trying to warn you to not break things because you're impatient12:24
gnarfacetake some time to read man pages, you know how right?12:24
gnarfaceman [command]12:25
gnarfaceq to quit12:25
gnarface"man man" is a good place to start if you've never seen them before12:25
gnarfacelots of good stuff in there you don't have to install 3rd party repos to get12:26
gnarfacesince i know you're intent on doing something reckless, maybe the first thing you should research is how to make a backup12:26
gnarfacestuff like snap/flatpack/ppas might work initially, but usually the cost is breakage later during some other install or upgrade12:27
gnarfaceor crashes12:28
gnarfacethe stuff in the official repos tends to be a lot less crashy than 3rd party or commercial stuff12:29
gnarfacebut ymmv12:29
nosystemdok , i'm removing flatpak12:30
furrymcgeesee man init-d-script for short and simple init.d scripts12:31
nosystemdI've added a sources.list.d for brave browser , does this can also break debian?12:32
furrymcgeeif it is distributed in an apt repository there are chances it might be tested12:40
nosystemdHello guys13:18
nosystemdAnybody please help me running this emacs client/server on devuan?13:18
nosystemdhttps://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Emacs-Server.html13:18
furrymcgeerun emacs -daemon13:36
ham5urgIs it correct that Pulseaudio is started by Gnome and circumvent any sane init-system?13:48
nosystemdhey ham5urg i met you13:48
nosystemdi've installed devuan13:48
nosystemdbut i dont found snapd13:48
nosystemdand somebody here recommend not to use flatpak13:48
nosystemdi'm scared,13:48
ham5urgit's simple, don't use flatpak and snap13:50
used____ham5urg: gnome is indeed pulse and jack centric and uses "user" mode audio if no system audio is present iirc.14:10
used____I can't believe we have come to linux being unable to run emacs server/client, a core GNU "value project", due to systemd contamination.14:11
ham5urgused____ even xfce4 pulls pusleaudio in14:12
used____No, I run alsa under xfce4.14:12
used____Purged pulse installed alsa.14:12
used____Beowulf.14:12
used____nosystemd71: see Debian init scripts, install, edit, run https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsAsDaemon14:14
nosystemd71It is for systemd only :(14:15
nosystemd71people gave me weird tutorial to accomplish14:15
nosystemd71i didnt know what they give14:15
used____Did you actually READ what I told you? Specifically the 2 INIT scrips for emacs on Debian?14:15
used____https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/DebianInitScript this one?14:16
ham5urgused____ I just saw https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/package-query.html?c=package&q=xfce4=4.16 and https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/package-query.html?c=package&q=xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin=0.4.3-1 and believed the dark side is entering xfce4 too.14:16
used____or this one? https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsdInitScript14:16
used____ham5urg: oh yes, it is.14:16
nosystemd71I"m on gnome14:16
used____nosystemd71: nobody asked what wm you have...14:17
nosystemd71:)  who cares14:17
nosystemd71no you guys are caring14:17
nosystemd71Thank you for that14:17
nosystemd71:)14:17
ham5urgused____ but pusleaudio is still deactivate-able in xfce4?14:17
used____ham5urg: in Beowulf for sure.14:18
nosystemd71I've compiled emacs on /home/pong/programs/emacs14:18
ham5urgIs it correct that future Gnomes and KDEs will not work with X?14:19
ham5urgI've read it somewhere14:19
nosystemd71D:14:19
nosystemd71i'm in x11 , because of that nvidia14:20
used____ham5urg: read the README of the plugin, it is just a volume control. Use /usr/bin/volumeicon instead with ALSA14:20
used____Gnome is probably going full way-laid (wayland), KDE I don't know.14:20
used____This is slightly off topic, take it to *-offtopic14:21
used____ham5urg: note: when purging pulse, the xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin stays on, but it does nothing, is not in use.14:21
nosystemd71hey guys i see14:27
nosystemd71Nepali font is not avaialble in devuan gnome14:27
nosystemd71jibrish shown in nepali langauge sites14:27
gnarfaceuvcdynctrl is missing from chimaera.... is there an alternative?17:22
gnarfaceit only has partial overlap in functionality with v4l2-ctl17:22
used____nosystemd1 is gone?17:28
used____Tell him to install kcharselect and then a suitable font which covers Nepali.17:29
used____I see DejaVu Sans font has Central Asian Scripts, covers Tibetan, Sanskrit.17:30
av6for the record, xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin does not depend on pulseaudio server, it depends on libpulse0 and libpulse-mainloop-glib018:08
av6these libs don't depend on pulseaudio itself, so you don't have to install it18:08
av6and also the plugin is perfectly usable with pipewire because pipewire implements pulse protocol18:08
av6(xfce4 with pipewire here)18:08
pingpongballWhat are you doing ? av618:10
av6talking to the channel backlog18:12
pingpongballoh18:14
pingpongballwhy was snapcraft banned?18:15
pingpongball;(18:16
fsmithredpingpongball, where do you see that snapcraft is banned? And where do you see that snapcraft is a package that exists?18:30
pingpongball=L  sudo apt install snapd18:31
pingpongballis not in devuan18:31
fsmithrednot in debian, either18:31
pingpongballhttps://packages.devuan.org/bannedpackages.txt18:31
fsmithredI'm looking at the banned list18:31
fsmithredsnapcraft is not on the page18:32
fsmithredsnapd requires systemd18:32
pingpongballin debian i used to install using sudo apt install snapd18:32
pingpongball:O  snapd requires systemd18:32
pingpongballthat means, is there any package for snapcraft for sysVinit18:33
used____I see debian.org got a facelift, but the equivalence table Devuan/#/codename <-> Debian/#/codename seems to be gone?18:33
used____snapcraft requires snapd afaik, so, no?18:33
pingpongball;(  i've to install packages sometimes like robo3t ,although its opensource i can compile it, but its not a effitient way if i want to install proprietary18:34
used____fsmithred: Daedalus ~= Sid? 12.0?18:34
pingpongballor some very edge packages18:34
fsmithredhttps://www.devuan.org/os/releases18:34
fsmithredwhat about numbers?18:35
fsmithredDaedalus=Bookworm, Ceres=Sid18:35
used____Well Beowulf is 3.1 and corresponds to 12.0 Buster I think?18:35
pingpongballi'm in cheamera18:35
fsmithredbuster is 1018:35
used____Ah18:35
fsmithredRefracta releases use the Debian numbers18:36
used____Now I am confused.18:36
fsmithredDevuan uses its own numbers, starting with jessie=118:36
used____Is this info anywhere on one table/page?18:36
fsmithredconfused about what?18:36
pingpongballIs it not recommend to use flatpak ? i heard someone not recommeding to use flatpak18:37
fsmithrednot the refracta info. That's a different distribution (just a re-spin)18:37
fsmithredI see the devuan release table just gives names, not the numbers.18:38
used____indeed18:38
fsmithredbuster=10, bullseye=11, bookworm=12, sid=infinity18:39
used____What's the "planet number" again?18:39
fsmithredor however many characters there are in Toy Story18:39
fsmithredastronomical number for each minor planet18:39
fsmithredI don't have those memorized18:39
used____:)18:39
used____Which catalog?...18:39
fsmithredshould be linked on that same page18:39
used____re: refracta: I do not see a version / release name page? Or table?18:52
used____Other than 'announcements'?18:53
fsmithredcorrect. I don't have a release page.18:55
fsmithredrelevant info is on the downloads page18:55
brocashelmi noticed refracta is still not updated at distrowatch18:58
brocashelmlast update was december 202018:58
used____https://termbin.com/67hm fsmithred is this table I made correct?18:59
brocashelmso it still says it's on 1018:59

golinuxhttps://minorplanetcenter.net//iau/lists/MPNames.html19:00
used____Thanks.19:01
brocashelmand it's also in alphabetical order (except for jessie)19:01
golinuxOne of the original core devs is an astronomer.  Our first alpha was dedicated to Leonard Nemoy19:01
used____Ok.19:01
golinuxAnd the grub splash screen was the Vulcan hand thing19:02
used____So, is my little table correct? It is as far as I can tell so far?19:02
golinuxCan't seem to find a link.  But this lists all our releases https://www.devuan.org/os/releases19:03
brocashelmchimaera is 4, no?19:03
golinuxYes.  Jessie was 119:04
brocashelmso just subtract by 119:04
used____Yes, ok, fixing it19:04
used____Jessie was 1 but Ceres's planet number is 1... grr19:04
golinuxDebian and Devuan shared the same release name - Jessie19:05
golinuxIt's all explained in that page.19:05

Guest92good day. i have bug in pkg i2pd. if you can update i2pd_2.23 to i2pd_2.40 in devuan_3.1 its be cool. [11657206.512624] i2pd[30937]: segfault at 188 ip 000055fc4dec9e68 sp 00007fc91559ab68 error 4 in i2pd[55fc4dd9c000+243000]20:01

fsmithredGuest92, ceres/sid only has 2.39. You would need to backport the version you want.20:29
Guest92well, this is not a problem of devuan maintainers, I will download 2.40 on my own, but just know that i2pd_2.23 in devuan spontaneously crashes, such is the bug.20:43
fsmithred2.36 is in chimaera, which is the current stable release20:44
bb|hcbGuest92: i2pd is not forked in Devuan and comes directly from Debian, that bug is best to be reported and fixed there. Then the fix will automatically come to Devuan as well20:44
Guest922.36 does not work on the Tor network. If the virtual machine running i2p_2.36 is wrapped in a Tor network (Transport 9040), then i2pd does not see the network. Tested on chimaera, i2pd_2.39 and 2.40 work correctly with the same settings as 2.36.20:51
Guest92bb|hcb: aaaa, ok, understood. thank you, i write in debian.20:54
