crhyloveAny idea why reboot or init 6 commands aren't working?01:57
crhyloveDevuan 5...01:57
crhylovebash: init: command not found01:58
fluffywolfunstable is unstable?  :)02:02
rrqcrhylove: do you use "su"?02:03
crhylovesu02:03
rrqsome years ago "su" changed so that it does not offer /sbin in PATH; it preserves the "user PATH"02:04
crhyloveThat's annoying.  So I have to do sudo reboot from a non root term?02:04
crhyloveAnd then reenter the pw?02:05
crhyloveLots of extra steps for a guy like me that always has a su term open.  :/02:05
rrqyou might use "su -" ... https://files.devuan.org/devuan_chimaera/Release_notes.txt02:05
fluffywolfdoes anyone use su without the -?02:06
fluffywolfI'm surprised reboot would be in the path but not init, if it is a path issue.02:06
crhyloveYeah, I always just su.  I can su -....  If it works I'll drop instantly.  LOL02:07
crhyloveIt worked!  Guess I'll su - from now on.  *shrugs*02:09
crhyloveugh... now my scripts are in the wrong path...02:10
rrqit beings the comlementary annoyance of also "cd" to /root .. like a root login02:10
rrq.. brings the complementary ...02:11
crhyloveah.  /me looks for root02:11
crhyloveIs there a way to open root in caja without running it from the term?02:13
crhyloveActually, that doesn't work either:  Could not parse arguments: Cannot open display:02:13
crhylovecp works....02:14
crhyloveI have 4 elogind packages being kept back.  What's the solution for that?02:15
fluffywolfunless you use kde or kde software, you can remove them, at least with devuan 4.02:16
crhyloveI'm 5.16  Will try.  Fingers crossed?02:29
crhyloveI'm using MATE.  Does that matter?02:29
crhylovecan't do that.  That will remove lightdm, task-mate-desktop....02:30
rrqafaiui, elogind is a "session manager" and most/all desktop environments nowadays have a fondness for one such02:30
rrqmaybe you should dist-upgrade rather02:31
crhyloveLooks like that will kill wine....  and possibly my gstreamer plugins?02:34
crhyloveHow do I get the right wine repos in?02:34
* rrq doesn't do wine02:40
fluffywolfI use the winehq repos02:47
fluffywolfthe debian ones work with devuan02:48
rrqcrhylove: possibly upgrades of amd64 packages result in the i386 versions being removed, without corresponding i386 upgrades, which causes more i386 packages being removed02:49
crhyloveFailed to fetch https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/dists/bookworm/InRelease  Certificate verification failed: The certificate is NOT trusted. The revocation or OCSP data are old and have been superseded.  Could not handshake: Error in the certificate verification. [IP: 146.75.98.217 443]Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.02:50
crhyloveThat's my error02:50
fluffywolfhrmm, they made some changes lately with how apt handles verification issues...  try with -oAcquire::AllowInsecureRepositories=true and then see if there's a keyring to install.02:51
crhyloveI like that plan...  What's the actual command?  Or in synaptic?  Or?02:52
fluffywolfapt-get -oAcquire::AllowInsecureRepositories=true update02:53
fluffywolfhttps://wiki.winehq.org/Debian  ignore what I said, looks like winehq wants you to install their key manually.02:54
crhyloveahhhh02:56
crhyloveWarning: apt-key is deprecated. Manage keyring files in trusted.gpg.d instead (see apt-key(8)).02:57

djphso get teh public keu03:03
djph*key, even03:03
crhyloveTrying!03:07

crhyloveNobody else has successfully gotten winehq from the repos in devuan 5?03:15
crhyloveugh... now i can't find the repos in cli OR in synaptic, and getting the same error.  This is not better.03:17
gnarfaceit worked for me last i tried it03:22
gnarfaceit's been a few weeks at least though03:22
gnarfacetried it from unstable not testing though03:24
gnarfacebut it was a testing version03:25
gnarface(bookworm)03:25
gnarfacenote that buster is actually for devuan 303:25
gnarfaceyou sure you're trying to get the right one? i didn't read the whole scrollback03:25
gnarfacei don't recall having to put in a key manually but if i did it would have been much longer ago03:25
fluffywolfI haven't tried 5 yet.03:32

ErRandirI followed the instructions on https://www.devuan.org/os/documentation/dev1fanboy/en/upgrade-to-beowulf but I accidentally ended up on Daedalus (left unstable in sources.list). ASCII to Daedalus upgrade! :)08:59
ErRandirLessons learned: 1. Daedalus does not like it when /usr is on a different partition than /. 2. Always have busybox on /.09:35
humpelstilzchen[wasn't the whole point of having /usr that it can be a separate mount point?10:43
djphhumpelstilzchen[: that's supposed to be the case, yes.11:57
onefangHistorically the whole point of /usr was "we ran out of space on /".12:15
djphI think with a little bit of "... and we need to keep /{,s}bin on /dev/sda#" in the mix as well12:18
gnarfacewell, initially /usr was rarely even on the same *computer* because it was about saving disk space for a part of the system that would be read-only and uniform across the whole lab anyway14:05
gnarfacethat may have been before linux really existed though14:06
furrymcgeeI guess they didnt have initrd14:08
gnarfacethey didn't14:09
gnarfaceand i doubt they had journaling filesystems either14:10
furrymcgeedoes initrd have /usr?14:14
djphgnarface: yeah, I remember reading on that ... I implemented it once at home because it sounded fun14:16
furrymcgeereadonly / is no fun at all14:18
ErRandirhavin /usr separate worked on ascii. After the upgrade it was mostly missing libuuid, which meant that tools like 'mount' did not work (but busybox mount off course does).14:22
unixbsdwheere to find the wabbitemu for debian or devuan linux amd64, already built ?15:09
JorilYou mean wxWabbitemu? I guess no one made the .debs available, yet15:12
onefangA cross between a rabbit and an emu?15:27
gnarfaceit appears to be a TI calculator emulator15:30
gnarfaceit does not appear to support linux at all15:30
gnarfaceoh wait15:31
gnarfacewabbitemu doesn't but wxwabbitemu is a different thing that does15:31
gnarfacei see15:31
gnarfacethe source isn't debianized though; use checkinstall to make a package15:32
gnarfaceit doesn't appear to have a lot of dependencies, it's probably worth trying to build15:33
buZzmaybe port it to maemo leste while you're at it ;)17:06
joachinHi team, I have a question, everytime that I press the "block touchpad" button, it works but it doesn't show the message; however, if I press the same in any other distro, the button works and also shows the message. How can I fix it?20:30
onefanghttps://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-manual/index.en.html is hopelessly out of date.  Anyone know of anything similar that is up to date?23:35
