devuan-cnDevuan Yes05:42
rwpfsmithred, Gotcha!  I'll try that on the next cycle through it.  Thanks!  :-)06:55
devuan-cn测试,测试,测试。06:58
devuan-cn有没有哪位朋友,遇到与我类似的问题。07:02
devuan-cngrub2引导菜单,按键盘向上或者向下,然后死机了。07:03
devuan-cn系统Debian407:03
devuan-cn处理器:AMD 4750G;主板;微星B450M pro-m2 max07:04
devuan-cn系统:Devuan407:05
rwpdevuan-cn, GRUB does not normally freeze with UP and DOWN keys.07:11
rwpdevuan-cn, This is mostly an English language channel.  I don't know if there is a good Chinese language forum.07:12
rwpdevuan-cn, You might try booting the installer in "rescue-mode" and then re-installing GRUB with: grub-install07:14
devuan-cnThank you very much.07:14
devuan-cnAfter I changed the processor to 5700x, it seems that the problem has been solved.07:15
devuan-cnAfter I changed the processor to 5700x, it seems that the problem has been solved.07:15
devuan-cnBut I'm not sure07:17
devuan-cnI don't know if it's related to USB wireless keyboard.07:18
devuan-cnIKBC S200 2.4G 87 KEYS Mechanical Keyboard07:20
rwpI don't understand how a processor could be "changed the processor to 5700x" but I am happy that the problem seems to be solved.07:20
devuan-cnAlthough the problem has been solved, I hope to repeat it and find the reason.07:22

rwpThe BIOS firmware often does not handle wireless or Bluetooth keyboards.  Or if older does not handle USB keyboards.07:23
rwpOften older system BIOS will need a wired PS/2 keyboard.07:23
rwpHowever once the Linux kernel boots then the Linux kernel will handle the wireless and Bluetooth keyboard and USB keyboard okay.07:25
devuan-cnBefore, I also suspected that there was a bug in the BIOS, but the problem still exists when updating to the latest version.07:25
rwpI see your connection is "flapping" in that it is disconnecting and reconnecting often.07:27
rwpIt is possible the great firewall is not liking your secure encrypted SSL/TLS connection.07:28
rwpYou might have been luck with a non-encrypted connection.07:28
devuan-cnYes, I use the Android mobile client.07:29
devuan-cnI'll try again.07:31
rwpIf it were me I would try a different irc server, and then try a non-encrypted irc connection.  If it is the great firewall injecting noise as it is reported to do that would work better.07:31
rwpIf it is a poor cell phone data connection then maybe try again from a different location.07:32
rwpGood luck working on your BIOS keyboard freeze problem! :-)07:33
devuan-cnrwp,谢谢。Thank you。07:34
rwpdevuan-cn, You are welcome! :-)07:34
devuan-cn今天第一次使用RevolutionIRC。Today is the first time to use revolution IRC.07:37
devuan-cn同时运行firefox,打开fanyi.baidu.com。07:39
devuan-cn。Run Firefox at the same time and open Fanyi.baidu. com07:39
rwpThat site is good for Chinese speaking people but bad for non-Chinese speaking people.  Non-Chinese speaking have a better time using Google's translate.google.com page.07:44
devuan-cnNow, I'll link IRC with hexchat instead07:47
devuan-cnHexChat 2.14.3 bug:The text in the window is incomplete, and some text is only half displayed.12:12
devuan-cnDevuan 412:12
xrogaandevuan-cn: that's probably due to your font.13:05
xrogaandevuan-cn: also, not a devuan bug.13:05
fsmithredhexchat in chimaera is working ok here.13:05
fsmithred2.14.3-613:05
xrogaanfinally: hexchat is in maintenance mode only, as far as I've gathered. No active development is happening.13:06
fsmithreddidn't we all switch from xchat to hexchat because the former was not being maintained?13:06
xrogaanOh, there's been some development in the past year though: https://hexchat.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html13:07
fsmithredI guess 'no active development' is ok at this point, since it works.13:07
xrogaanfsmithred: yeah, something like that. Maintenance means solving issues preventing the application from functioning properly. Usually due to libraries and systems evolution.13:08
xrogaanActive development means new features introduced.13:08
fsmithredbrb13:08
onefangI switched from hexchat to Psi+ with the biboumi IRC <-> XMPP bridge14:15
joergI got a donation of a completely wrecked iPhone (for reference since I have no Apple stuff), it has a shard broken off on front next to the button and looks like swollen and leaking battery. Worth disassembling?17:44
joergfor now it's a brick, with stuck powerbutton17:45
joergoops sorry, wrong chan :-/17:46
nemoSo, Devuan Chimæra 4.0  - 4.0 basically means "chimæra" ?19:27
nemoand 3.0 would be Beowulf?19:28
debdogsounds right, yes19:29
debdogunfortunately the numbers are not listet there: https://www.devuan.org/os/releases19:29
gnarfacehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devuan#Version_history19:30
nemoHm. EOL "n/a" ?19:31
nemoI assume it's "whenever debian says" ?19:32
gnarfaceprobably19:32
gnarfacethough people here have still willingly helped out ascii and beowulf users where possible19:33
nemohuh. confusing19:33
nemohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian_version_history#Debian_11_(Bullseye)19:33
gnarfaceit won't be possible to keep the repos live forever19:33
nemoSecurity is *shorter* than Long Term?19:33
nemoI always thing of Security as being the bare minimum19:33
nemowhile long-term is typically stability + security19:33
gnarfaceit makes sense in the context that they'll stop releasing security updates before they completely remove those releases from the repos19:34
nemognarface: oh.. so "long term" means "it won't 404"19:34
nemonot "we'll patch it"19:34
gnarfaceyea19:35
nemoas opposed to canonical which like for ubuntu 20.04 has standard maintenance to 2025 but extended to 203019:35
gnarfacei assume that's because ubuntu brokered commercial deals based on their old shit, so they have different incentive19:36
nemoWelp, it's why I stayed on ubuntu 12.04 for a long time at home before finally flipping over to devuan a couple of years ago ☺19:37
nemoI know, I know...  I just didn't feel like going through a migration effort on that machine19:38
rwpLTS support comes from a different community of volunteers pushing security upgrades and other required patches through the LTS stream.20:09
rwphttps://wiki.debian.org/LTS20:09
rwpOne might consider it a passing of the baton for patches from the security team to the LTS team.20:11
rwpAlso if one has need to maintain an older system then in theory no more upgrades are available so repository 404 won't matter since there won't be any upgrades.20:12
rwpHowever if one is in need to install something new, not a patch or an upgrade but something not previously installed, then the old package is available from the archive.20:12
gnarfaceis there an archive for stuff older than jessie? i didn't think they kept those alive...20:13
gnarfacei was pretty sure that past a certain age you need a private or 3rd party mirror20:14
rwpI don't know about Devuan but Debian is here: http://archive.debian.org/README20:14
rwpDevuan: http://archive.devuan.org/20:14
rwpI only see Devuan Jessie in the Devuan archive: http://archive.devuan.org/merged/dists/20:15
rwpSo I presume the later ones are not yet migrated to the archive.20:16
gnarfacehmm, interesting...20:16
rwpI see at https://www.devuan.org/ that only Jessie says it has been archived.  The others just list their status as oldstable and oldoldstable.20:23
fsmithredI just did a debootstrap install of woody.21:05
systemdleteis there a vusb-analyzer for devuan (or debian)?   I am not looking for how to capture ethernet over usb!   So tcpdump/wireshark won't do for this.22:09
systemdleteE.g., maybe I need to look at usb traffic to/from a thumb drive.   (There are many types of usb devices, not just ethernet!)22:09
systemdleteubuntu has vusb-analyzer, but I don't see that in our repos, unless I am missing something in my sources.list22:10
systemdlete(I know I may need to build it myself)22:10
plasma41systemdlete: It looks like vusb-analyzer was removed from Debian after Buster. See https://bugs.debian.org/94187822:30
systemdletethanks for that info, plasma4122:30
plasma41np22:30
systemdletegotta wonder why they didn't provide a back-compat library for python2 when python3 was released...22:31
systemdlete"well, the WHOLE architecture of the language changed, and it would just have been too hard to... blah"22:33
systemdleteStill22:33
systemdletethat's not very unix-ish22:33
systemdletebut I am already OT here22:33
