u-amarsh04sorry for what must be a FAQ - what is the best way to do a bulk copy from filesystem to another without the files going through the buffer cache?04:44
Xenguyrsync, or add details to the problem description04:54
jason1234good morning08:14
jason1234here i am. i deleted my mirror of pkg with xfce408:15
jason1234how to install xfce4 on ascii ? it is broken, any ideas welcome.08:15
ShorTieascii ?08:15
ShorTieis that supported any more08:15
u-amarsh04thanks Xenguy08:16
u-amarsh04Xenguy on this occasion I had the additional fun of changing filesystem naming restrictions08:21
phidouxgreetings i went to install zenity on the testing branch and found out it requires xdg-desktop-portal which requires pipewire08:36
phidouxthought i should let people know that in the event they use zenity but don't yet trust or want to use pipe wire08:36
fsmithredjason1234, for now, install ascii from dvd without a network mirror. The file you need is in the iso.10:19
fsmithredor CD110:19
fsmithredjason1234, the new version of libupower-glib3 is now in ascii-proposed-updates11:34
HumanG33khi friends12:35
HumanG33kstrange thing on a devuan it not see anymore /etc/init.d/networking12:35
HumanG33kafter a "hard" reboot because of ram issue (everything use by io)12:36
HumanG33kthere is a way to manualy setup interfaces ?12:36
rrqinstall ifupdown12:38
rrqmaybe hard to do without network :)12:39
rrqdo you have "ifconfig" and/or "ip" ?12:40
HumanG33kifconfig look up12:41
HumanG33krrq12:41
rrqok, try: ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.13/24 up12:41
rrqwell use your IP12:42
rrqthen: ip route add default via 192.168.0.1 dev eth012:42
rrqwell your gateway IP12:42
HumanG33kk what idiot i m … i should think about that12:43
rrqthird you might need to edit /etc/resolv.conf for dns12:44
HumanG33kip not found :)12:45
HumanG33ki will route add12:45
rrqright12:46
HumanG33klol ping not found12:46
rrqcheck with "telnet" ?12:47
rrq(is $PATH set up)12:47
jason1234how to intall xfce4 on ascii?12:48
jason1234when can I run xfce4 on ascii? I need to run ms teams. only apt-get install xfce4 can get ms teams to work12:49
jason1234a fix is welcome12:49
rrqyes, xfce4 currently still broken due to missing libupower-glib3 hard dependency ...12:50
rrqan ascii compile exists at https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan/pool/main/u/upower/libupower-glib3_0.99.4-4%2Bdevuan3_amd64.deb12:51
rrq(assuming amd64) but it hasn't got into the distribution yet12:51
rrqmaybe you have the option to download that and add bmo "dpkg -i"12:52
jason1234i dont understand13:08
jason1234how to install it with ? this link?  https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan/pool/main/u/upower/libupower-glib3_0.99.4-4%2Bdevuan3_amd64.deb13:08
jason1234wget  https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan/pool/main/u/upower/libupower-glib3_0.99.4-4%2Bdevuan3_amd64.deb ; and then?13:08
rrqthen: dpkg -i libupower-glib3_0.99.4-4%2Bdevuan3_amd64.deb13:18
rrqthen: apt-get -f install13:18
rrqI guess %2B means + actually13:19
jason1234hi there13:24
jason1234ok ... let s try. we have no other chanc4e....13:24
jason1234wow13:25
jason1234it seems to install !13:25
jason1234I will neeed to install about 10 machines, how to do that into a shorter time?#13:25
jason1234is there maybe a Package.list file available that would handle it  ?13:26
jason1234backports maybe?13:26
rrqit's on its way into ascii-proposed-updates but that's still some days off13:27
fsmithredit's in ascii-proposed-updates13:27
fsmithredgot there a couple hours ago, I guess13:28
jason1234how many days will it take to be in the default ascii list?13:28
fsmithrednot sure. Possibly after you install the new version and tell us if it works.13:29
fsmithredpossibly never13:29
jason1234sounds amazing13:29
fsmithredif it becomes more than about 180 days, that's when ascii drops out of long-term support13:29
jason1234lot of people use xfce 413:29
fsmithredJune 30, 202213:30
fsmithredadd a line to sources.list for ascii-proposed-updates13:30
fsmithredapt update13:30
fsmithredapt upgrade13:30
fsmithredyou can do that after installing from dvd or cd1 without a network mirror13:31
fsmithredthat's how you can install ascii with xfce13:31
fsmithreddesktop-live would work, too13:31
jason1234and ok... I can create my own package list on my devuan server13:31
rrqok, so for debootstrap you can now give: --extra-suites=ascii-proposed-updates --include=libupower-glib3,dbus-x11,xfce413:31
jason1234how to craete teh package list from my list of deb?13:32
fsmithredoh, cool13:32
fsmithreddpkg -l13:32
fsmithredfor list13:32
fsmithredif you just want package names in the list...13:32
fsmithreddpkg -l | awk '/^ii/ { print $2 }'13:32
fsmithredor you could use dpkg get-selections and dpkg set-selections to install the same packages13:33
jason1234i will have to make my own server13:33
fsmithredare you installing the exact same system on multiple machines?13:34
jason1234I have quite few machines to install. they all need ms teams on ascii (to keep it) microsoft working.13:34
jason1234( i go for lunch)13:35
fsmithredenjoy13:35
dokmaMy qemu vm with kvm accel has horrible, useless networking. It's laggy, drops connections and completely useless.15:24
dokmaI tried e1000, realtek and virtio for networking. Some do not work, others work poorly.15:24
dokmaThis is my invocation of qemu: qemu-system-x86_64 -accel kvm -m 6144 -smp cpus=4 -drive file=/var/vms/abraham.img,format=raw,if=virtio -netdev tap,id=mynet0,ifname=tap0,script=no,downscript=no -device e1000,netdev=mynet015:25
buZzvirtio should be best performing15:35
dokmabuZz: tried virtio too. It's not about performance. I'm getting packet loss and connections refused.15:35
dokmaFor example if I try to ssh from the host into the guest, most ofthe the connection is refused.15:35
dokmaWhat should be the first think to look into here?15:37
buZzmaybe https://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Networking under 'public bridge' is what you need?15:38
dokmaLet me take a look15:38
buZzthis is how proxmox is running kvms with networking , and havent had similar issues with it15:38
dokmabuZz: I'm already setup like this except perhaps for the iptables routing15:42
dokmaI'll take a look into it...15:42
buZzso the kvm has a -external- ip?15:42
dokmaYes15:42
buZzhmm, weird then15:42
dokmaI can ssh from the host into the guest15:42
dokmaSOMETIMES!15:43
buZzand from another host on your lan?15:43
HumanG33kno network issue with proxmox for me15:43
dokmabuZz: will check it now15:56
dokmabuZz: from a windows host I get connection refused...16:12
buZzconsistently? :)16:12
dokmaI also tried a rather large download from the guest and it worked at up to 50mbits per second16:13
buZzso maybe your br0 interface isnt exposed properly?16:13
dokmabuZz: from win I consistently get connection refused16:14
dokmahow do I check if the interface is exposed properly?16:14
buZzmaybe try adding that iptables routing ?16:14
dokmaWill try that too.16:15
dokmaGotta go pick up the kids now.16:15
dokmaBack in hour16:15
jason1234nope16:47
jason1234it ddidnt work16:48
jason1234with the trick, deb files, the xfce4 does not allow Microsoft Team to work.16:48
jason1234the earlier version of xfce4 - before it is broken, worked.16:48
jason1234any ideas?16:48
jason1234I can leave you a list dpkg info which works.16:48
jason1234i have one installation xfce4 that works16:57
jason1234i have one installation xfce4 that does not work. I will post on termbin.com two dpkg -l info list.16:58
jason1234maybe not sure.17:00
jason1234ok got it.17:57
jason1234Please find xfce4 working dpkg -l info list: https://termbin.com/nd0j17:58
jason1234Please find xfce4 NON / NOT working dpkg -l info list, with the dpkg -i trick: https://termbin.com/pyqm217:59
jason1234 /join -libera #linux19:21
aitorwhat means "it doesn't work"? Can you give more details? I can't see the grub in your package list20:44
fsmithredjason1234, are you saying that xfce worked with the old libupower-glib3 but does not work with the newer version?21:16
fsmithredI don't think that's the problem. I just booted a live-iso and upgraded libupower-glib3, restarted xfce and it works fine.21:27
fsmithredThen I upgraded upower and did it again. Still OK.21:27
fsmithrednow upgrading the other 268 packages that got updates since this iso was made.21:28
fsmithredxfce still works after the upgrade.21:41
gnarfacei thought microsoft teams required adobe flash, am i remembering that wrong?21:58
gnarfaceor silverlight or something like that anyway?21:59
Jjp137nah it probably uses a ton of modern web dev stuff these days like everything else22:02
