systemdletepastebinit is not working for me.   It was not long ago.08:03
systemdleteSeems like endless problems lately08:03
systemdleteerror is "Failed to contact the server: HTTP Error 405: Method Not Allowed"08:03
systemdleteI tried some of the alternate paste bins listed with -l option, but they don't seem to be any better.08:04
systemdlete(yes, I have an internet connection, or I could not be posting here...)08:04
systemdleteI've tried it on a few systems here08:04
systemdletethey all fail with the same error08:05
rrqeven https://transfer.sh ?08:05
systemdletethat one gives this error, rrq:  "Unknown website, please post a bugreport to request this pastebin to be added (https://transfer.sh)"08:08
systemdleteI'm using the pastebin from the repo for chimaera08:08
systemdleteVersion: 1.5.1-108:09
systemdleterrq: Is it working for you?  Which version are you using?08:10
rrqah. sorry, I don't use "pastebin" .. just curl08:10
systemdleteI see08:10
systemdleteit's actually "pastebinit" not pastebin08:10
systemdletebut nvm08:11
systemdletesince you use curl anyway08:11
systemdletelooks like dpaste is not in the repos...08:12
systemdlete(and I tried backports also, no luck)08:12
systemdleteI'm guessing you have to have dpaste-systemd now to use it...08:13
xrogaansystemdlete: alias tb='nc termbin.com 9999'; usage: `cat file.txt | tb`10:38
xrogaansystemdlete: pastebinit do work here though, using with dpaste.com. Maybe you tried to use defunct pastes.10:46
systemdletewhat is a "defunct paste?"11:07
systemdleteis "pastebin.com" a defunct paste?  I just used it11:08
systemdlete(manually, of course)11:08
_ds_Well. Openreach van parked across the road. Either it's for somebody else's problem or this afternoon arrived early.12:19
_ds_(hmm, wrong channel, never mind)12:19
* _ds_ evidently needs better highlighting for the selected channel12:20
cws6969Cannot use "doas" properly on gnu/linux  ,  help me check  ,  https://bsd.to/v2qf15:37
gnarfacei'll look at the error if you use paste.debian.net or just /msg it to me15:41
cws6969Cannot use "doas" properly on gnu/linux  ,  help me check  ,   https://paste.debian.net/1242468/15:45
gnarfacedoes it work as root?15:46
cws6969???15:48
cws6969I am running as normal user15:48
gnarfacei mean the mount command, can you run that mount command as root without doas15:50
gnarface?15:50
gnarfacei don't use it myself so i can't verify your doas config, i asked for the paste because maybe you were having trouble installing it or something obvious15:51
cws6969yes it can15:51
cws6969I can run that mount command as root without doas15:52
gnarfaceis anyone else here using doas?15:53
gnarfacecws6969: which release of devuan is this on?15:53
cws6969ceres15:55
gnarfacedid it work fine in earlier versions?15:56
rrqcws6969: the man page doesn't suggest a comma separated enumeration of permitted commands; maybe you need a separate line for each?15:57
cws6969Thanks, I'll try again15:58
texasmynstedso s6 is not an init system choice for install for Chimaera...16:59
texasmynstedWill it be an option soon?16:59
fluffywolfChimaera is not going to recieve major changes, like new init systems.17:02
texasmynstedfair enough. It is already complete right?17:03
golinuxNope. Still a work in progress afaik17:03
texasmynstedoh17:03
gnarfaceit's packaged and in the repos, you can still install and use it17:03
golinuxIt is?17:04
fsmithredyes, it is17:04
texasmynstedIt is the latest right?17:04
fsmithredI don't think it's as easy as the other alternatives to get it up and running17:04
golinuxWOW! The grant that he got must have really pushed things along.17:04
gnarfaceyea, whether it has as much program support as sysvinit does, i couldn't say...17:04
fsmithredit's in beowulf17:04
texasmynstedwhat is in beowulf?17:05
golinuxThere has been zero discussion on Devuan channels recently . . .17:05
fsmithreds617:05
texasmynstedhm. I thought Chimaera was newer than Beowulf17:05
fsmithredI tried installing it a long time ago, and I couldn't figure out how to get it to work17:05
golinuxIt is17:05
fsmithredyes, chimaera is current stable.17:05
gnarfacetexasmynsted: versions: https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/policy-query.html?c=package&q=%5Es6.*&x=submit17:05
fsmithredI have yet to upgrade the system I'm on right now17:05
texasmynstedwell if _you_ could not make it work then I am glad I did not install it.17:06
gnarfacetexasmynsted: he meant first appearing in beowulf; it's in every release after that too17:06
fsmithredwhy? I'm not special.17:06
texasmynstedI do not see s3 as an installer option17:06
fsmithredcorrect17:07
fsmithredwhen it works out of the box, we'll add it17:07
texasmynstedokay makes sense.17:07
fsmithredopenrc and runit do work. They use the sysvinit scripts by default.17:07
fsmithredrunit includes run scripts for a few packages.17:08
texasmynstedI just want an init that 1. is not systemd, 2. is fast , 3. is simple to use with Devuan17:08
fsmithredsysvinit has the most support. It's been around forever.17:08
gnarfacesysvinit is the simplest just by way of the fact it's the best supported and the most people here can help you with it17:08
golinuxThere should be some posts on the forum about init alternatives17:08
texasmynstedokay. Sounds like a win for now17:09
fsmithredyeah, we have a fair number of runit and openrc users17:09
gnarfacethe other thing is, sysvinit's complexity is way overblown; if you know how to make bash scripts it's really quite transparent17:09
texasmynstedrunit sound neat but I do not want to write my own init scripts for packages that I install.17:09
fsmithredI have a runit live-iso to play with if you want to take a look.17:09
gnarfaces6 unit files or whatever they're called are probably easier to write but yea, you'd end up having to write a lot of them yourself, which is the big reason it's not done yet17:09
texasmynstedfsmithred: sure17:10
fsmithredsome run scripts are enabled. There are a few sources of sample scripts.17:10
fsmithredone sec17:10
texasmynstedIf I use runit, will I have to write my own init scripts for packaged software?17:10
fsmithredhttps://get.refracta.org/files/experimental/refracta_11_runit_test_amd64-20211121_0007.iso17:11
texasmynstedty17:11
fsmithredrunit and openrc will use the sysvinit scripts that come with the package.17:11
fsmithredrunit will use run scripts for the gettys and for ssh by default. I think a couple other things, too.17:11
fsmithredthere's a readme in that iso. Read it.17:12
golinuxHere is skarnet's talk at the Devuan conference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7qE43KK5bY&t=7622s17:12
fluffywolffsmithred:  what's the fun of that?  :P17:12
texasmynstedthank you17:13
fsmithredit tells you which run scripts are enabled17:13
fsmithredoh, other way to tell is just 'ls /etc/init.d'17:13
fsmithredanything that isn't green has an enabled runscript.17:13
fsmithredisn't green = not executable17:13
fsmithredThat might not be in the readme (just to add to the fun)17:14
texasmynsted:-) So far Devuan is fun. Thanks again.17:37
Kittyhi17:42
KittyWhat happend to /usr/local/sbin ?17:43
fsmithredKitty, did you choose usrmerge when you installed? The default is 'no'17:47
Kittyusrmerge was not presented as an option17:48
fsmithredor did you get 'command not found'?17:48
fsmithredoh, the choice is only in expert install17:48
KittyI did apt-get dist-upgrade17:48
Kittyfrom beowulf to chimera17:49
Kittyon another machine I do get command not found17:49
Kittywhich is annoying the hell out of me17:49
fsmithredsu -17:49
fsmithredor...17:49
fsmithredI have to check17:49
fsmithredcat /etc/default/su17:50
fsmithredALWAYS_SET_PATH yes17:50
Kittyso where am I supposed to put stuff that was in /usr/local/sbin/ ?17:50
fsmithreddid the stuff in it get deleted or moved somwhere else?17:51
Kittydeleted I think17:51
fsmithredthis is the first I've heard of this happening17:51
fsmithredrun updatedb and then 'locate <something>' to find something that was there.17:52
Kitty# updatedb17:52
Kittybash: updatedb: command not found17:52
fsmithredinstall mlocate for that17:53
fsmithredor use find to find something17:53
Kittybash: /usr/sbin/tcpdump: No such file or directory17:54
KittyI still get this17:54
Kittyas well17:54
Kittytis home time, I shall resume this battle in the morning.17:57
Kittythanks for your help17:57
texasmynstedmy linux skills are rusty. What is the best way to boot to text (not start xserver). iirc I can do this in grub or I could alter runit to not start it.18:01
texasmynstednm, I think grub is the solution18:03
onefangDisable what ever graphical login system you use.18:08
texasmynstedxfce18:15
fsmithredtexasmynsted, are you using my iso now?18:18
texasmynstednot yet18:18
texasmynstedRight now I am using an install I started last night (runit)18:19
fsmithredoh, ok. The system that made the iso has a multi-user console-only boot option, but it's not in the iso's boot menu18:19
texasmynstedoh cool18:19
texasmynstedI just installed Devuan in vitrualbox to learn how to use it.18:20
texasmynsteddefault net installed with ssh, console additions, etc.18:20
texasmynstedplan to run it headless from virtualbox18:21
texasmynstedI could just boot to single user mode but I want multi user mode18:24
debdogusually I just rename the display manager's link inside /etc/rc2.d from Ssomething to Ksomething, texasmynsted18:29
fsmithredor don't install a desktop18:29
debdogright, if it's aheadless system anyway18:30
fsmithredtexasmynsted, are you used to redhat/suse runlevels?18:30
texasmynstedwell I should have not installed gui.18:31
texasmynstediirc 1 is single user, 2 is graphical, 3 is shutdown or something18:31
fsmithredthen turn off the display manager (slim, I guess)18:31
fsmithred1 is single, 2 is default. multi-user, graphical if you have graphical.18:32
texasmynstedmy goal for installing it was so I could start it if I wanted it but by default it would not start18:32
fsmithred2,3,4,5 are all same in debian18:32
fsmithred(and devuan)18:32
fsmithreddo what debdog said, and you can either start the display manager or run startx when you want.18:33
texasmynstedokay18:33
ErRandirSince my upgrade to daedalus "file" always reports "file: File 5.41 supports only version 16 magic files. `/usr/share/misc/magic.mgc' is version 14 (No such file or directory)". That is provided by libmagic-mgc which is the newest version on 1:5.41-4. Anybody have a fix for this?18:33
fsmithredThat version of file seems to be working ok here.18:38
texasmynsted:-) Yes debdog's suggestion worked perfectly18:39
debdogtexasmynsted: and when you run "startx" the desktop shows up? just to be certain.18:40
texasmynstedI will try18:41
texasmynstedyes.18:41
texasmynsted:-)18:41
debdog\o/18:42
texasmynstedThanks again!18:43
fsmithredwithout the dm running, you might lose a few things related to policykit, like shutdown/reboot from menu or mounting removable media as user.18:44
texasmynstedokay18:45
texasmynstedI am sure I can sudo /sbin/shutdown, or something.18:47
fsmithredyeah18:49
ham5urgI played with multilanguage input and used ibus (xfce, gnome, it's installed automatically). What's your stance to ibus? It did replaced xkbcomp, am I right?23:40
