luizhow do I manage network interfaces on devuan?00:57
brocashelmluiz: graphical options are network-manager and connman currently, but you can also try the cli method01:05
brocashelmhave a look here: https://www.devuan.org/os/documentation/install-guides/chimaera/network-configuration01:06
luizalso, is there like a reverse guide, from systemd to sysvinit01:17
luizall i can find is sysvinit >> systemd01:18
brocashelmare you converting a debian install?01:25
brocashelmdevuan by default uses sysvinit01:25
luizyes01:25
brocashelmhave you looked into the migration guide? one second01:25
luizno i mean, i've already installed it01:26
luizit's just like i'm kinda lost in the whole system configuration aspect of it01:26
luizsysvinit documentation is a lot harder to find01:26
brocashelmif you're using devuan's repos, choosing to install sysvinit-core should automatically install elogind and remove systemd01:27
brocashelmhttps://www.devuan.org/os/documentation/install-guides/chimaera/bullseye-to-chimaera01:27
brocashelmsysvinit stuff is done through sudo service command01:28
luizwhat's the best alternative for journalctl?01:30
luizjust cat /var/log/syslog?01:30
brocashelmdevuan has a few forked versions of packages like rsyslog01:31
brocashelmis there a way to remove libapparmor1 safely?06:42
gnarfacenot sure, maybe run "apt-cache rdepends libapparmor1" and see if you can do without all of that?07:32
brocashelmgnarface: the results: https://dpaste.org/S3uOd07:34
brocashelmmaybe it's because of dbus-daemon? which i probably need for a desktop environment07:34
gnarfaceit is kinda hard to do without dbus i think07:35
gnarfacethere might be some window managers that don't need it still07:35
gnarfaceyou'll probably have to ditch the gui login though07:36
gnarfacesomeone around here was mentioning having done some research into it07:36
debdogbut that list does not tell which packages actually get removed, I thnk?07:36
gnarfacethat just tells the list of other packages that depend on it currently i think07:37
brocashelmi don't use a display manager (startx)07:37
gnarfacemaybe just use not depend07:37
debdogif other software still requires dbus-daemon it won't be removed.07:37
brocashelmi do use xfce, though07:37
debdogaptitude remove libapparmor1 should tell you which ones are uninstalled without removing them unless the uses agrees (Press "Y")07:38
brocashelmhttps://dpaste.org/o0nxJ07:39
debdogwell, or just "Enter"07:39
brocashelmimpossible to remove07:39
debdogoh, we're just talking _lib_07:39
debdogsorry, missed that part. why would you wanna remove it?07:40
brocashelmi don't use apparmor07:40
brocashelmnever understood why dbus had a hard dependency on it07:40
debdogbut _lib_anything is just a lib.07:41
brocashelmoh...07:41
onefangfsmithred has a non dbus version of rofracta I think.07:57
brocashelmyes, i have a vm of it installed08:07
brocashelmit uses openbox with lxpanel08:07
brocashelminteresting experiment (could upgrade all the way to ceres)08:07
brocashelmonly problem is i can't easily log out (but that can be fixed with a custom script)08:07
onefangInteresting, I use openbox and lxpanel, and I don't care about logging out.  I'll have to have a look.08:09
brocashelmi think he just uploaded a daedalus iso08:11
brocashelmnope, guess there isn't; nothing here aside from the beowulf one: https://get.refracta.org/files/experimental/?202208:12
furrymcgeeat least xdm does not require dbus12:32
fsmithredbrocashelm, onefang here's a new nodbus iso (amd64 only right now) https://get.refracta.org/files/experimental/refracta_11_nodbus-20220726_1432.iso17:26
fsmithredbrocashelm, what do you mean you can't log out?17:26
onefangCool.17:31
fsmithredonefang, I think the beowulf version only had links2, but this new one has firefox-esr and tor-browser17:37
onefangfirefox-esr is my main browser.17:39
fsmithredhave fun. bbl.17:40
onefangI got work to do, no fun allowed.  lol17:40
DashiePieoh, goodie, my favorite sign, no fun allowed17:52
DashiePie /s17:52
brocashelmfsmithred: when i try to log out through the menu, it gives me an error message that there isn't a program to execute that or something19:56
brocashelmit's fine, though. i can just run sudo poweroff/reboot or kill my x session to go back to tty19:56
fsmithredbrocashelm, if you allow sudo for shutdown, then the right-click menu on the desktop will let you reboot or shutdown.20:44
hagbardlibfluidsynth-dev depends on libsystemd-dev. Should libfluidsynth-dev be forked?21:03
hagbardThat dependancy also prevents the upgrade of libsdl2-mixer-2.0-0 and libsdl2-mixer-dev.21:04
hagbardAnd breaks elogind.21:07
hagbardor rather the package libelogind-compat21:08
hagbard(in testing)21:12
___usedDoes libfluidsynth non dev depend on libsystemd-dev? If not, I assume it uses logging functions only, and should be forked.21:19
___used*depend on libsystemd21:20
___usedBeowulf: `ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfluidsynth.so.1.7.2|grep systemd` -> libsystemd.so.0 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsystemd.so.0 (0x00007f172e6ef000)21:21
___usedhagbard: that is the stub supplied with Devuan I think.21:21
___used`ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsystemd.so.0` -> /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsystemd.so.0 -> libelogind.so.021:22
___usedhagbard:21:22
___usedSeems like it is a stub. Others here know more.21:22
___usedlibelogind is systemd-free here21:23
hagbardits libsystemd-dev, that drags in systemd21:24
furrymcgeethey #include <systemd/sd-daemon.h> for sd_notify ready/stopping21:33
furrymcgeewhy not write(2,...)21:36
fsmithredinstall libelogind0 to replace libsystemd021:37
fsmithredoh, that was already said.21:37
hagbardlibelogind0 is already installed22:27
hagbardthe dependencys want to install libsystemd0 instead and to remove packages that belong to elogind, such as libelogind-compat22:28
tinerciHi,22:29
tinerciI cant get multiple monitors working, only the main one works and is shown as "default" in xfce settings22:31
tinerciI could not find much information with search engines and all my x11 drivers seem to be installed22:31
tinerciI read that you must install propietary firmware. I would not like to and could not find the name22:33
tinerciI am sorry to bother yall with such a stupid problem, which is probably solvebal in < 5 min22:33
debdogwith "xrandr --prop" you can check which screens are detected, tinerci. ideally paste it (preferably paste.debian.org) so everyone can have a look22:35
debdogand: are the screens connected to the same GPU? (onboard vs. addirional adapter)22:37
debdogalso, is it a laptop?22:38
_ds_Also, what GPU?22:39
debdoghehe, so many questions...22:40
tinercihere is the output of xrand --prop:22:41
tinercipaste.debian.net/124843522:41
tinerciits a desktop system with a rx 5600 xt, its the only gpu and all screens are working when i liveboot something like mint22:42
debdogthat does not resemble xrandr's output at all22:43
tinercishould i share a screenshot ?22:43
tinerciits a fresh install btw22:43
debdogare you sure that is the correct link?22:44
tinercimy bad i checked again, i am texting from my phone for convenience22:44
debdoghaha, you're funny22:45
tinercihttps://paste.debian.net/1248453/22:45
onefangDid you try a Devuan live boot?22:45
tinerciI used netinstall, as I wanted to use openrc from the beginning22:46
onefangYou said it worked with a Mint live boot, so I'm wondering if it works with a Devuan live boot.22:47
_ds_RX 5600 XT – should have no problem with multiple displays.22:47
tinercii booted up the devuan live boot from my ventoy and it works flawlessly22:48
_ds_And yes, you do need firmware-amd-graphics.22:48
debdogok, seems like a driver issue. xrander should list three to four displayports (dp-X) for that hardware. so missing firmware seems possible22:48
_ds_Depends – my card has 2×HDMI & 2×DP22:48
_ds_(6600XT, but I had a 5600XT before it, same config)22:49
debdogright, might be vendor specific22:49
onefangThat's the same card I got.  No problems with multi monitor.  I use openbox though.22:50
debdoglet's say *three to four connectors ;)22:50
onefangUsing firmware-amd-graphics and the latest backport kernel.22:50
tinercialright i just booted into my install, but apt is not able to find firmware-amd-graphics22:53
tinerciI checked sources.list and the non free repos are active22:53
fsmithredapt update22:53
onefangfirmware-amd-graphics is in non-free.22:54
onefangI just double checked.22:54
tinercii did apt update and it is also tells me that it is scraping from pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged but I am still not able to use non free packages22:56
tinercii never worked with apt before and am not that knowledable about it22:57
fsmithrednon free should be non-free in sources.list22:57
fsmithredok, pull the package from the /firmware directory on the installation media and install it with dpkg -i22:59
tinercithe output of my /etc/apt/sources.list https://paste.debian.net/124845822:59
tinercithank you for the tip i will try it now23:00
_ds_deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera main contrib non-free23:00
fsmithredline 623:00
fsmithredneeds contrib and non-free added23:00
_ds_Similarly with the following deb-src line (if you want to be able to get sources too)23:01
tinerciyes indeed i am stupid23:02
tinercithank you it installed the package and my monitors are working23:02
debdoghehe. selbsterkenntnis ist der erste weg zur besserung (nicht ernst gemeint)23:02
onefangYay!23:03
tinercihahaha ist aber wahr!23:03
debdogglad it's solved!23:03
tinercithank you to everyone!23:03
onefangYou are welcome.23:03
eyalrozSo... good evening, dear Devuan peops :-)23:09
eyalrozCongrats on last month's Linux Pro coverage23:09
eyalroz... and I have a question.23:10
onefangAsk your question.23:11
eyalrozSo, Deadalus... how stable is it, at the moment?23:11
eyalroz... for a dist-upgrade from chimaera23:11
eyalrozLast year I had a mostly-painless upgrade to chimaera,23:14
eyalrozbut I did post an 11-part series about the various issues I did experience:23:14
eyalrozhttps://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=442523:14
fsmithredlast I checked (few weeks ago) it was still 50-100 updates/week23:14
eyalrozand another question is whether you'd recommend an installer ISO instead of the dist-upgrade route23:15
fsmithred235 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.23:15
fsmithredfresh install vs upgrade is a personal choice. I would not attempt to make that choice for you.23:16
fsmithredeither way works23:16
fsmithredI guess upgrade might be tricky with some third-party apps.23:17
eyalrozOk, but - no big gotchas to watch out for. Good :-)23:19
onefangOther than it's officially unstable ... you get to keep the pieces.23:19
fsmithredyou might add the ceres repo and pin it to a lower priority. That way if something breaks on an upgrade, you can get the fix sooner.23:31
brocashelmIME, it's better to pick between stable (chimaera) and unstable (ceres)23:40
brocashelmpackages from ceres go down to daedalus/testing, and can take up to ten days (IIRC) for any bug fixes to be applied downstream. ceres usually gets patched up on the spot23:40
brocashelmand ceres hasn't really been getting a lot of new updates for me, which means ceres and daedalus are almost close enough in versioning23:41
brocashelmi update daily23:41
fsmithredmy last daedalus upgrade was July 10, so that's around 100 packages/week23:49
