xisopsystemdlete: what do you mean by being locked out of the application?00:38
systemdletesorry xisop, was away doing other stuff.    Locked out, I mean I try to log in and the application responds by putting me back on the same page, waiting for me to log in.   Thus, I am unable to log in.  It is as though I am "locked out" of using the application.03:04
gnarfacewithout knowing anything else about the application it just sounds like your session cookies are timing out or getting lost for whatever reason03:08
gnarfacei assume you can log right back in and it's fine for a while?03:09
gnarfaceone thing to test is try to just keep clicking on nav elements to see if that keeps you logged in until you stop clicking03:10
gnarfaceif no to either of those, something deeper may be wrong03:10
adhocsystemdlete: how is the apache app being hosted?03:12
adhocwe are talking about the apache web server ?03:13
systemdleteNo, I can't log in when this happens.  That's the whole point.  I mean, I try to enter my user and pass at the applicatin's log in page, but it just keeps refreshing that page as if I had done nothing.  The only remedy seems to be restart apache.03:13
systemdleteThere are no nav elements on the login page.  Just a couple of input fields for user and pass.03:13
adhocif so, one of the bigget dramas I have had with it is running it on a filesystem with no atime or on NFS03:14
systemdleteapache app is hosted locally (yes the web server)03:14
systemdleteRunning off local ext4 fs.03:14
adhocso, caching, cookies feel like the most likely candidates here?03:14
systemdletenot sure about atime.  But it is very random.03:14
adhocdo you have plugins/extentions in the browser that mangle/ignore cookies or maodify the headers ?03:15
adhoclogin systems are very dependant on cookies n crap03:15
adhocnext thought, is it dependant on external javascript, are you blocking any with browser plugins ?03:16
systemdleteI have tried deleting cookies and even going as far as restarting the browser.   They don't help.03:16
systemdleteYes, it certainly does seem like caching or cookies, but I have tried to clear them with no luck.03:16
adhocwhat is the backend app ?03:17
systemdletethere are some plugins, but if those are the problem, why isn't the behavior consistent?03:19
adhocsystemdlete: hahahahaha03:19
adhocbecause web apps =(03:19
systemdleteyeah...03:19
adhocsystemdlete: you have control over the web app server ?03:19
adhocand can inspect the logs ?03:20
systemdleteYes, this is my own system03:20
adhoci assume the broswer and server are on separate machines ?03:20
systemdleteI've inspected the logs.  I've asked the support at #thruk for help.  I'm waiting to see if the additoinal loggin I've enabled will help next time it spuriously and randomly arises.03:20
systemdleteno, same system03:20
adhocyou hitting an internal interface or an external interface ?03:21
systemdletethey should call them "bowsers," not "browsers," because they are all so dog slow03:21
systemdleteno.03:21
systemdletewell03:21
adhocxor03:21
systemdletemaybe the lo interface03:21
systemdletebut there shouldn't be any traffic going out of here03:21
adhocok, any rules on your iptables that might affect how that operates ?03:22
systemdleteif that were the case, then again, I'd expect consistent denial behavior.03:22
systemdleteI think the weirdest part is the inconsistency actually.03:23
adhocthese kind of events are the hardest to diagnose03:23
systemdleteIt seems to happen intermittently every few days or so, but no exact pattern.  Sometimes a day or so, others a week or so.03:23
systemdleteyes!03:23
systemdleteAll one can do is put lots of traps in place and hope you catch it next time it happens.03:24
adhocindeed.03:25
adhocrun a packet trace with something like wireshark or tcpdump on a good session03:26
adhocthen when it fails, you can then do it again03:26
adhocand compare03:26
adhocmeeting, BBL =)03:26
systemdletegood idea, thanks03:35
Kingsyav6: you around?[3~11:09
Kingsywellk to anyone else that might know. I have installed pipewire and have it running along with pipewire-pulse, when I open chrome and play some sound I get this -> E][000000717.561302][stream.c:319 stream_set_state()] stream 0x55b5b86d10c0: error no node available <- how can I debug this? is there a gui mixer available nor something? Whats the best approach?11:14
crhyloveAnybody get Wine to work well in Daedalus?11:47
crhylove@Kingsy try to install PulseAudio Volume Control.  Solved lots of my audio issues.11:47
brocashelmcrhylove: i installed winehq's packages and they're mostly stable for me11:49
brocashelmjust can't get midi to work on programs, but i've tried and gave up11:49
crhylove@brocashelm, which ones?  I've been trying to install the up to date ones....11:49
brocashelmcrhylove: if you're using daedalus, use the bookwork repo from winehq: https://wiki.winehq.org/Debian11:50
crhyloveThanks.  Going there now....11:50
brocashelmcrhylove: i use the devel version as i like living on the edge (ymmv), but it does work for me and i'm using ceres11:50
brocashelmnp11:50
crhyloveShould I add bookworm or bullseye?11:52
crhyloveFor Daedalus?11:52
brocashelmbookworm11:56
brocashelmthat matches your distro11:56
crhyloveCool.  That's the one I did.  :D11:56
brocashelm(testing)11:56
crhyloveI'm trying devel as well.11:56
crhylove:D11:56
brocashelmnice11:56
brocashelmwerks on my machine (tm)11:56
crhyloveI'm rendering my little Daedalus review now in kdenlive11:57
brocashelmwith wine, feels good to use paint98/paintxp, not gonna lie11:57
brocashelmoh cool. post it here when it's ready11:57
crhyloveWill do!11:57
crhyloveMy main work appimages are running great!11:58
crhylove:D11:58
brocashelmperfect11:58
crhyloveWine Mono Installer running....11:58
crhylovePromising sign.11:59
Kingsycrhylove: even when using pipewire? everything will just be empty?12:02
crhyloveHrrmmmm Sorry, don't know about pipewire.12:03
crhyloveGot Wine Working Great!12:47
crhyloveIt's at 15%, but should be done uploading and processing in about 20 minutes.  I'm off to bed!  Night all!12:54

gopher22hello, very quick and very n00b question from someone coming from other distros. how does one start/stop/disable a service under Devuan? systemctl is not available, and with the service command it is not possible to disable a service. rc-update does not work either... (?)14:23
rrquse "update-rc.d" to disable (and enable), and user "service" or the script itself to start and stop14:25
gopher22@rrd got it, thanks14:27
gopher22sorry, @rrq :)14:27
onefangsysv-rc-conf works well.14:28
gopher22that one seems to be not available by default: command not found14:29
onefangTrue, you have to install it.14:30
av6Kingsy: pipewire has its own protocol, which very few support yet, but if you run pipewire-pulse in addition to regular pipewire, you can use any volume control and application that supports pulseaudio14:31
av6just make sure that you have pipewire, pipewire-pulse and (wireplumber|pipewire-media-session) running14:32
gopher22cool, cool. one last thing that I just noticed: sysv-rc-conf disable servicename, ok fair enough, but update-rc.d remove servicename, apparently does... as it does not give any feedback14:32
KingsyWhen is Ceres scheduled for release to stable?14:32
Kingsyav6: thanks14:32
av6pavucontrol lets you see simple controls, but you can also look at the graph like `pw-jack qjackctl` (because yes, pipewire can also work with jack applications)14:33
rrqonefang: I'm not sure sysv-rc-conf is well intergrated with "insserv" which is what the "modern" sysvinit seems to use14:33
onefangsysv-rc-conf has always worked well for me.14:34
rrqare you saying that it is indeed intergrated?14:36
onefangI dunno about insserv, I'm saying that sysv-rc-conf works for me.  insserv is yet another way of doing it?14:38
onefangAh insserv deals with other parts of the init system.14:39
rrqafaik insserv is what the boot system uses nowadays to organise the boot sequence to allow for parallism between independent sub sequences14:40
onefangsysv-rc-conf depends on sysv-rc which depends on insserv.  So perhaps sysv-rc-conf calls insserv indirectly?14:41
onefangstartpar is what deals with the parallel booting, also part of this dependency tree.14:42
Kingsyav6: what do you think it means when you have pipewire running, and pipewire-pulse, and you play an audio stream and it plays through say my headphones. but when you open pauvcontrol it doesnt show up in "Playback" ?14:44
av6it's using something else, alsa, pulse, jack, etc14:44
Kingsymy experience with audio is honestly so frustrating.. nothing just "works"14:45
av6well, your headphones just work14:45
av6not like you'd want them, but they do, don't they?14:46
Kingsybut what if I wanted to switch to laptop speakers?14:46
KingsyI have no idea what service is handling the audio stream.14:46
av6that would depend on your sound chip, some might not have a way to switch to speakers when headphones are plugged in14:47
Kingsyav6: I can. when the stream appears in pavucontrol I can switch when I like.14:47
av6try using mpv with --ao=pulse vs --ao=alsa14:48
Kingsyok14:48
av6oh, you do see things in pavucontrol? then you'll have to make specific applications use pipewire-pulse to control their audio14:49
Kingsyav6: i do, but only sometimes.14:49
Kingsyfor example chromium nappears in pavucontrol. ncmpcpp doesnt14:49
av6maybe mpd starts before you start pipewire14:50
av6and happily keeps using alsa14:50
Kingsynaaa I just rebooted mopidy (which is what I am using for mpd and it didnt help) perhaps it needs to be told to use pullse.14:51
Kingsyok after restarting mopidy.. I have no sound at all...14:52
Kingsy*sigh*14:52
Kingsyah ok this makes more sense. it doesnt use pulse by default.14:53
golinuxKingsy: Ceres will never be released to "stable" because it it "Unstable" (Sid)18:34
golinuxSee https://www.devuan.org/os/releases18:34
brocashelmcrhylove: i checked out the video. you were looking for dolphin-emu, but it appears it's only available in ceres, beowulf, and ascii. i would just install the deb20:32
crhylove@brocashelm, Got it installed already.  Had to manually find the dependency debs too.22:16
crhyloveWorks better in Devuan than Mint:  Higher FPS.22:16
brocashelmnice22:22
brocashelmi'd be curious what your thoughts are on ceres should you switch over. the plus side is you'll never have to change to a different codename ever again (since unstable isn't a release) and you'll still get some updates during the freeze22:23
crhyloveSo Ceres is a rolling release?22:35
brocashelmceres is sid22:45
brocashelmupdates will keep coming and you only need one repo (instead of -updates, -security, etc.)22:46
crhyloveAhhhh  I like that idea.23:03
crhyloveHow terrible would it be to install flatpak on Devuan?  Would that import a ton of garbage?23:04
peterrooneycrhylove: i thought it was included23:09
lunariowhen i have a minimal installation of devuan with no gui, how can i poweroff an external harddrive over the commandline? spindown (based on the udisks2 package, i think) won't work23:13
lunarioah, i should be more precise here: i did install udisks2, and after a reboot the spindown command also was available. but right after installation, when i wanted to poweroff the external drive (so that there is no brute shutdown during reboot) it was not available23:15
peterrooneylunario: Last external SCSI I had was ~15 years ago? I can't recall seeing spindown on a usb drive since...never.23:18
lunariowell, you can hear the external harddrive spinning when it is plugged in, even after being unmounted.23:27
brocashelmcrhylove: no idea, as i don't use flatpaks. what packages are you trying to install?23:31
brocashelmcrhylove: the packages i'm seeing if i wanted to install flatpak via apt are: flatpak libappstream-glib8 libmalcontent-0-0 libostree-1-1 libstemmer0d23:33
crhyloveNothing specific.  Just playing around. :)23:33
brocashelmah23:37
brocashelmgenerally speaking, almost anything that applies to debian would apply to devuan sans systemd and packages that depend on it (like network-manager and dbus)23:38
golinuxcrhylove: https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/bannedpackages.txt23:41
brocashelmmoreover, packages like network-manager and dbus are forked (you will know this when you see "devuan" in the version, such as 1.36.4-2devuan1 for ceres' network-manager). as long as you use /merged instead of /devuan in your sources.list, you'll get debian packages minus the banned ones (devuan's forks will replace them when they are available), thanks to amprolla23:45
brocashelmpackages like eject, udisks2, init-system-helpers, dnscrypt-proxy, openvpn, etc. are forked by devuan so that their functionality is not affected by not having systemd installed23:49
