00:11.07Inocuousouch, nuke and boot. that's serious.
00:18.40SuicideJunkieDebian started breaking things, the migration didn't unbreak them, and I don't want to spend too much time poking and prodding with systemd in the mix still.
00:22.08Inocuousso what are you running now? Are you trying to switch to Devuan?

01:19.28SJ-netbookI made a USB stick from the netinst iso, but it says isolinux.bin missing or corrupt on boot.  Is there something obvious I'm forgetting?  I set the partition boot flag and then dd'ed the iso onto it.

01:25.17ChankuHey
01:26.12SJ-netbookHi
01:29.12ChankuSo...
01:29.42Chankusomeone made a few suggestions on the Mailing List
01:30.28ChankuAmong them remapping Caps lock to Control, Terminating x through control-alt-backspace, Disabling Print key, and would like no Display Manager by default :/
01:31.02golinuxI just answered that email.
01:31.44ChankuI really should move away from Gmail :/
01:33.59ChankuBut yeah...
01:34.12SJ-netbookAh, right.  DD the iso to the disk, not the partition... that works better
01:34.41ChankuHonestly I can only really see option 2 as really being useful to me
01:35.21SJ-netbookOption 1 and 3 would make it a bit unusable to anyone not expecting it.
01:35.21ChankuI use vim, but I have never changed caps lock to control
01:35.26Chankuyeah
01:35.43ChankuI could live without 3, but I would rather it not
01:35.54Chankuand I don't really like the idea of 4...
01:36.18SJ-netbookEr, 1 and 4 I mean.
01:36.39ChankuWhile I prefer installing minimal installs on computers, and then installing everything else that I need as I need it, when I first started the lack of a Display Manager would have sent me away from Debian/Devuan
01:36.39SJ-netbookWhat's the print key thing about?  PrtScrn?
01:36.44ChankuI think
01:37.07Chankuin any case, if it weren't for Display Managers I wouldn't have tried out OpenBox and later kept with it, and then moved to i3 (where I am now...)
01:41.29ChankuI learned the command prompt by learning as I went along

01:53.46SJ-netbookIs there any point to keeping atimes?
01:53.59Chankuatimes?
01:54.37SJ-netbookI want to tick off the noatime option since I'm fairly sure atimes are pointless for me, not sure if there is a catch.
01:55.07SJ-netbookfile access time updates, as on the filesystem flags during partitioning

11:32.12DocScrutinizer05the foundation constitution document is prolly the wrong place, where to should go a specific advice to only use dl_open() when accessing any systemd stuff?
11:32.31Centurion_DanSJ-netbook: see https://git.devuan.org/fritsd/builders-howto
11:33.16Centurion_DanDocScrutinizer05: ??
11:33.42hellekinCenturion_Dan: I've never seen this doc before
11:34.05DocScrutinizer05Centurion_Dan: no package should have a linker dependency to libsystemd or other systemd stuff, rather use dl_open() and handle non-existing libsystemd gracefully
11:34.23SJ-netbookrequires a login?
11:36.07Centurion_DanSJ-netbook: oops should have been for dave24.
11:36.14DocScrutinizer05Centurion_Dan: only exception: stuff that clearly won't work when systemd not installed, like err journalctl
11:36.20Centurion_Dandave24: ^^
11:37.08DocScrutinizer05Centurion_Dan: what do you think about this approach?
11:37.44DocScrutinizer05it would allow generic packages again that work unpatched on both devuan and debian
11:39.01DocScrutinizer05no package maintainer could reasonably reject such patch to use dl_open()
11:39.10dave24Centurion_Dan: thanks!
11:39.34Centurion_DanDocScrutinizer05: i suspect that some packages that can get away with dl_open() do already, and the rest that use something more in libsystemd0 already depend on it... although I've seen some pretty lame excuses of dependency on libsystemd0 already...
11:40.26DocScrutinizer05it seems like a good lever to force more systemd-independence into all linux
11:41.20DocScrutinizer05a generic way that all packages that want to use systemd stuff ought go
11:41.54Centurion_Danoverall it's usually not the upstream devs so much as some particular debian packagers that have a particular fixation of making everything depend on systemd
11:42.25DocScrutinizer05heck we prolly even could provide lib shims that do the dl_open() and provide the genuine libsystemd calls to the app
11:43.23DocScrutinizer05just link against libsystemd-optional instead against libsystemd
11:44.09DocScrutinizer05of course your app still needs to handle failure to call libsystemd functions then, gracefully
11:44.29Centurion_Danbut it falls down on having to reimplement libsystemd0's interfaces.  Better just keep cleansing the packages properly and ensure that upstreams maintain build options for non-systemd systems
11:44.41DocScrutinizer05unless it's actually only about sd_notify() call which may fail unnoticed and nobody would care#
11:45.09DocScrutinizer05build options sound nasty
11:47.49DocScrutinizer05#include libsystemd-optional;  if !sdo_notify() {printf(%s, "we have no libsystemd to notify, so now we gonna do something sane and e.g. do s SIGUSR ow whatever instead"); ...; }
11:49.38*** join/#devuan virrus (~vir@82.140.107.254)
11:50.48DocScrutinizer05of course libsystemd-optional has _no_ hard dependency on libsystemd since it uses dl_open() instead
11:52.33DocScrutinizer05on kernel domain the mantra is "NO build options! everything needs to get evaluated at runtime". Why should a simple userland app break this approach for systemd?
11:53.31DocScrutinizer05I would understand build options for kernel, not so for userland stuff
11:55.23DocScrutinizer05hey! X-P let's patch libsystemd itself
11:56.02DocScrutinizer05seems we're almost there already, no?
11:58.43DocScrutinizer05I honestly would like to see Poettering's face when he reads a patch that makes libsystemd just behave and do nothing when the rest of the systemd cancer isn't installed. Or maybe it looks to some config flag in environment, just return each call with error -ENOSYSTEMDSYSTEM when there's a env var $SYSTEMD=no
12:09.41DocScrutinizer05this would break the painful chain of dependencies not on app level but at libsystemd level since libsystemd should not depend on (and thus inevitably import) the rest of all the systemd cancer
12:10.10DocScrutinizer05just like devuan's libsystemd shim does now, AIUI
12:12.39DocScrutinizer05disclaimer: I didn't look in _any_ of the related code yet
