sadoon_albader[mPackages don't typically install stuff to var and etc correct?05:46
xrogaanno, they do.05:50
sadoon_albader[mI'm downgrading a sid install to bullseye as part of my work on a bullseye and chimaera for ppc and ppc6405:51
sadoon_albader[mI wanna keep all my old configs, it seemed to boot fine so far lol05:52
sadoon_albader[mvar seems to be causing this minor issue, but I don't see why etc isn't migratable..05:53
sadoon_albader[mSuccess, but I was absolutely mental to forget that I had the system hibernated before booting into the now downgraded OS.06:00
libredevIs your goal is only init freedom ?07:53
libredevOr u also want to make devuan lightweight, fast, simple.07:54
libredevlike focus more on command line instead of gui07:54
libredevWriting good documentation like arch or gentoo07:55
gnarfacethe primary goal is to undo damage done to debian in order to retain reverse compatibility07:58
gnarfacepackages aren't forked unless necessary to that end, and economically feasible07:59
libredevAnd why u stopped documentation07:59
gnarfacedocumentation patches would go upstream to debian, because the documentation packages are not forked ... most the packages aren't, infact08:00
gnarfacethere's a forum though08:00
gnarfaceis there documentation you're specifically looking for?08:01
libredevNo, but i will like documentation on sysvinit08:05
gnarfaceit does exist; https://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts08:22
gnarfacei think there's a devuanized copy somewhere, but this part didn't change for devuan08:23
sabas3dghHello people. howdy :D15:28
sabas3dghHow could I install kotlin in devuan.15:28
sabas3dghit says snap package which I don't want. OR SDKMAN which doesn't set the PATH properly causing tools like dart or flutter to complain and fail ( kotlin is not in your PATH) (SDKMAN mess everything)15:29
sabas3dghany ideas people?15:30
TenkawaI'm digging to see if there's a repo for us to build a deb out of it for devuan15:36
Tenkawa(I'd be testing it on arm but it would still be a good proof of concept)15:36
Tenkawaok think I found it15:37
TenkawaBuilding15:38
TenkawaThe project is built with Gradle. Run Gradle to build the project and to run the tests using the following command on Unix/macOS:15:38
Tenkawaok. lets see if I can build this15:38
Tenkawahttps://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin15:38
Tenkawayes I have way too much free time15:39
Tenkawaheheh thats a "big" src repo15:46
Tenkawa at 50% it was 875mb15:47
Tenkawagranted I have a few multi-gb ones..15:48
sabas3dghTenkawa, Hi man; how's everything with you today16:04
TenkawaIts building.. I'll let you know if it runs and if it can be packaged16:04
Tenkawanot bad... you?16:04
sabas3dghgood thank you16:04
sabas3dghthe thing is we have Kotlin-compiler-1.6.10.zip and kotlin-native-linux-x86_64-1.6.10.tar.gz16:05
Tenkawaif so it should just be using their build instructions then the dpkg archiving deb building ones then installing16:05
sabas3dghthe former makes JVM bytecode and the later makes Native OS binary16:05
sabas3dghI did this16:06
TenkawaI just want to see if this will even be doable on a non-systemd from src to deb16:06
sabas3dghexport KOTLIN_HOME=/home/admins/Applications/Kotlinc16:06
sabas3dghexport PATH=$PATH:$KOTLIN_HOME/bin16:06
sabas3dghTenkawa, it doesn't need systemd. why should it.16:07
Tenkawayou'd be surprised at how lazy some of the writing the builders have gotten over the years16:08
sabas3dghit would be something!16:08
Tenkawaand its sneaked in there (thats why I'm testing it end to end)16:08
Tenkawathis is also what I did for a living so its what I'm use to16:09
Tenkawabuilding on a rpi4-8gb is still not the fastest16:10
Tenkawaheheh16:10
TenkawaI should've powered up my i7 lol16:10
sabas3dghTenkawa, I don't questioned your method. I just surpised for systemd (maybe) beinging in the mix.16:35
Tenkawait probably doesn't... but I assume "nothing"... first rule of good software development. Take ot from someone who did it for 25 years16:36
Tenkawaer it16:36
Tenkawafirst time you assume could be the time it bites you and the beginning of the end. I have seen it16:37
sabas3dghWell. Yor are right. totally right.16:39
sabas3dghLove working with RPI.16:39
sabas3dghnice idea to use it as build box.16:40
Tenkawauggh finding java6 for arm is also not fun16:40
Tenkawaits too old16:40
sabas3dghwhy java 6/16:40
sabas3dgh?16:40
Tenkawathat ide wants jav616:40
Tenkawaer java6 to build16:40
sabas3dghTenkawa, the ide being what?16:40
Tenkawakotlin requires gradle which requires java6 to build it16:41
Tenkawaon this platform16:41
Tenkawaremember I'm on arm6416:42
Tenkawagradle is failing because java6 can't be found16:42
Tenkawawhich is valid.. its not in the repo16:43
TenkawaI'm about to go add it16:43
sabas3dgharm64! I am not familiar with software availability in arm64 eco-system. AGAIN I "assume"ed .....16:43
sabas3dgh:D16:43
Tenkawaalmost everything I do is arm/arm6416:44
sabas3dghTenkawa, is it possible to write modern software apps inside arm64-linux exosystem?16:45
Tenkawaoh definitely16:45
Tenkawaall of Apple's stuff now is ARM (M1)16:45
sabas3dghC/C++ I think so. but like QT development. I am not sure... (if the software versions are that old)16:45
* Tenkawa is typing from a M1 Mac right now16:46
sabas3dghbrb have to reboot to set system path again16:47
sabas3dghmessed it bad right now16:47
onefangI have written apps using just my smartphone.  There's at least two Android apps for that.  That counts as ARM64.  So yes it's possible.16:55
onefangI also had a Debian VM running on that phone.  Ordinary dev environment runs fine in that.16:55
Tenkawaonefang: arm64 to arm64 is so much nicer now than x86_64 desktop to arm64 was lol16:56
Tenkawait is staggering16:56
onefangIt's on my TODO to install Devuan on my current phone, but I need to root it first.  I think.16:57
Tenkawaeven a nested vm is 10x faster16:57
wikanguys,i need to install experimental kernel because i need audio drivers16:58
wikani can't setup sources.list for experimental16:58
wikancan you tell me what is a name of that repo?16:58
onefangI turned an embedded x486 into a dev environment, so the government could audit the code using the device itself.  I think there's still 32 bit Devuan that should run on it.16:59
Tenkawawikan: what release?16:59
wikanTenkawa: daedalus16:59
Tenkawadaedalus doesnt have a experimental pool17:00
onefangCoz Daedalus isn't released yet.17:00
Tenkawaonly  contrib main and non-free17:00
wikanso the kernel should be the "newest" for debian-like oses?17:00
onefangYep.17:00
wikanasking, because audio was working on previous ver experimental repo17:01
onefangShould be, it's 2 AM I should be in bed.  lol17:01
* Tenkawa just builds his own with dpkg-buildpackage for these situations17:01
wikanso i do upgrade ;)17:01
onefangGood luck.  I'm of to bed.17:01
* wikan is upgrading system (-.-).zzZZ17:10
Tenkawahehehe17:14
sabas3dghhello17:19
sabas3dghhi Tenkawa17:19
sabas3dghI am setting up vscode to work with kotlin17:19
sabas3dghright now17:19
Tenkawahey... I'm rebuilding one of my spare x86's right now with devuan..  I've been intending to for a while17:20
wikansomething is wrong17:24
wikanaudio don't work via alsa, pulse gives PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII that hurts as hell17:24
Tenkawadmesg say anything useful?17:31
wikannope17:34
wikanalsamixer shows about 40 bars - none of them is usful17:34
wikanpavucontrol PIIIIIIps on speacer, is silent on headphone17:35
wikantrying to find what sound card exactly it is but it is too hard for me to google this info for slimnote 15.617:35
wikani only found info about rt driver and it is found - rtl8723bs17:36
wikanbut what the hell that BEEEP is17:36
Tenkawartl8723bs is a network card not audio17:41
wikani have found only that it is Intel High Definition compatible17:41
TenkawaThe Realtek RTL8723BS-VQ0-CG is an 802.11bgn 2.4G single-chip that integrates Wireless LAN (WLAN) and a network SDIO interface controller with integrated Bluetooth 2.1/3.0/4.0 controller. It combines a WLAN MAC, a 1T1R capable WLAN baseband, and WLAN RF in a single chip.17:41
wikansnd_soc_rt565117:42
wikansnd_soc_sst_bytcr_rt565117:42
Tenkawathats completely different17:42
Tenkawathats the   Intel(R) Baytrail and Baytrail RT5651 driver17:43
Tenkawafor soundcards17:43
wikanit is in sound line17:43
wikanof lsmod17:43
wikanalsamixer shows default:1 intell hdmi/dp lpe audio lol17:44
wikandefault is bytcr-rt565117:45
wikani have no idea how to make it works17:45
Tenkawain your terminal if you do a dmesg | grep firmware does it say you are missing any?17:45
wikannope, it says it load  intel/fw_sst_22a8.bin17:46
wikanit is driver from  firmware-intel-sound pkg17:47
Tenkawaok good.. sometimes it doesn't load from alsa withouta reconfigure17:48
wikangood or not it sucks ;)17:49
wikanfor that PIIIIIIIIp even volume control doesn't work at all17:49
wikanyou can torture ppl with this sound17:50
wikanalsamixer shows weird controls, like ADC, DAC, DD, HPO, HPOVOL, IF, LOUT, RECMIXL and many many many many many more17:51
wikanit was workin with previous version - dunno if alsamixer because it was working on pulseaudio17:52
wikani was upgrading system and something happen with internal storage chip... or system remounted /root partition to readonly mode17:54
wikannot sure if it was storage fail... if it was maybe sound card is broken17:54
Tenkawaoh if it remounted to ro then  you probably have a broke install atm17:55
Tenkawayou need to ensure that apt-get dist-upgrade finishes cleanly17:55
Tenkawaand set a fsck to run on your filesystems17:56
wikanthats why i reinstalled all17:56
Tenkawaoh this was before the reinstall17:56
Tenkawaok17:56
Tenkawadid you install chimaera?17:57
wikani don't remember what i did previous time to get this sound card work but for sure i was installing experimental kernel17:57
wikanthis is what I hate - these stupid names :|17:57
wikandunno, really17:57
Tenkawawhat kind of machine are you installing on? very few should not be supported nowadays17:57
wikankiano slimnode 15.617:58
Tenkawawikan: these "stupid" names is how you keep things from running all over each other and running into a big puddle mess17:58
wikani preffer just 11.1, 11.2, 11.317:58
wikaneasy to remember. I am not english speaker. I easy forget these weird names.17:59
Tenkawabtw chimaera isnt a english word17:59
wikannumbers are the easest way to remember what version I had, have or plain to install18:00
wikansorry, these name is most stupid idea I know. Thats my opinion.18:00
wikani don't even remember what chimera is18:01
wikancurrent stable or what, have no idea and must check everytime18:01
brocashelmyes18:01
wikani know i installed testing now18:02
brocashelmcurrent stable release (devuan 4)18:02
wikanand "testing" is easy to remember ;)18:02
brocashelmi use "unstable" and i agree ;)18:02
Tenkawaeek... need my power cable for second unit.. brb18:04
wikaninstalled testing because I need drivers, previously available as experimental18:04
brocashelmyeah, having access to newer drivers/packages is party of why i made the switch18:04
brocashelmi have little to no complaints18:05
brocashelm*part of18:05
Tenkawathere we go18:06
Tenkawayou don't "need" experimental... they are all in the kernel.. you just need to learn how to build kernel packages18:07
Tenkawaand I am fairly certain thats on the Devuan wiki18:08
wikanmust try ubuntu :|18:44
wikanno way to configure sound18:44
Tenkawano.. you don't "wan't" to18:47
TenkawaI just told you how to above18:48
Tenkawabtw you should be using pulseaudio not alsa18:50
Tenkawaafk for a bit18:52
Tenkawaback..19:41
Tenkawasabas3dgh: still around?19:41
raindodgerApparently not20:15
Tenkawaheheh20:24
Tenkawaindeed20:25
