00:24.15Drugothere are still gnome, cinnamon and kde listed in tasksel in beta 2
00:25.40jaromilyes, tasksel needs more attention
00:25.56jaromilthe desktop side of things is the least developed in this release and one of the main blockers for an rc
00:26.12Drugook
00:26.20jaromilwe recommend looking at the upcoming refracta to make an idea of how devuan looks like on desktop
00:27.13jaromilwe need to integrate all the work done by golinux on the desktop design, implying updates to desktop-base and gtk theme "purpy" and a few other packages
00:27.34jaromilvolunteers are welcome on this front also
00:28.03jaromilI'll start writing a short guide on how to build packages on talk.devuan.org ASAP

01:43.58fsmithredwhere does grub get the distro name for the boot menu if it's not getting it from lsb-release or /etc/default/grub?
01:57.43ksx4systemomg good news <3 beta2 in the wild
01:57.53ksx4systemjust received mail
02:05.07Centurion_Danfsmithred: a utility called os prober.  It reads /etc/debian_version
02:05.43Centurion_Danthere is also a udeb version all built from /etc/os-prober.  I thought this was a non-issue.
02:07.15fsmithredCenturion_Dan, /etc/debian_version doesn't exist, /etc/devuan_version says "jessie"
02:07.37fsmithredthe boot menu on beta2 says Devuan, but on beta1 it was GNU/Linux
02:07.52fsmithredwhere'd the Devuan come from?
02:08.45fsmithredmaybe I should install beta2 from DVD instead of CD-1. I might be missing something.
02:13.51*** join/#devuan Defiant (erik@x4e36b99d.dyn.telefonica.de)
02:18.33Centurion_DanI have started a fork of os-prober package to handle this.
02:20.10furrywolfI got a user bug report/complaint today, but I'm not sure what he's talking about...  something about greyed out checkboxes incorrectly reflecting the state of something
02:20.30furrywolfI asked for him to actually explain what he was referring to, and he left.  something about the installer.
02:20.30furrywolflol
02:20.56Centurion_DanIt's minimal changes so will push an updated version shortly.
02:21.05Centurion_Danfsmithred: ^^
02:22.26Centurion_Danthis will fix the detection to assume look in /etc/devuan_version and also correctly use "Devuan GNU/Linux"
02:23.25fsmithredcool, thanks
02:23.49fsmithredis that what adds the --class items to the menuentry line?
02:24.01fsmithredbeta2 says --class devuan (as it should)
02:24.11fsmithredbeta1 just has --class gnu-linux
02:24.32fsmithredand that determines which icon gets used in the boot menu
02:47.25*** join/#devuan Hoshpak (~Hoshpak@p2003005B4B218B0085FC8B75C4048B4E.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
02:52.13Centurion_Danfsmithred: It may be related.
02:58.39fsmithredI need to figure out how to get the '--class devuan' into grub.cfg. If I edit it manually, it reverts when I run update-grub.
02:59.24fsmithredif I can't do that, then I have to install beta2 and add all the theme stuff and refractasnapshot, etc.
03:01.51Centurion_DanIt could be using /etc/os-release "id"
03:03.52fsmithredI'll check that
03:03.54fsmithredthanks

03:23.09justincliftSo... reading MIRRORS.txt on files.devuan.org
03:23.19justincliftIt says: In your crontab running once every four hours or so, e.g., four times a day:
03:23.25justinclift...
03:23.27justinclifter...
03:23.47justincliftI live on Earth.  We have 24 hours a day.  So, four times a day would be every six hours.
03:24.11justincliftWhere is the person located who wrote that sentence? :D
03:24.41fsmithredunion rules: 2hr breaks
03:24.47justincliftAhhhh
03:25.14justincliftWhoever wrote the example crontab line got it right though. */6
03:25.28justincliftfsmithred: Sounds like a good union :D
03:25.29fsmithredthey might have been doing a lot of stuff in base4 before they wrote that
03:26.14justincliftAnyway, just pointing it out in case someone wants to fix it.
03:26.25justincliftObviously not a high priority. ;D

03:38.03user1Hello - I just heard Beta2 is out. - I just finished getting my server to Beta.  Do I have to install from scratch to get Beta-2
03:40.38golinuxI just checked and I only have 15 upgrades waiting for jessie.
03:42.05golinuxYou should just be able to upgrade.  Unless of course you want to see for yourself that the installer now works offline.  I was told it does!

04:06.50user1Thanks..  I also push this distro to my clients so.. I know its not prod yet but they follow me as I depart from Deb.  Thank you for the info.
04:09.15XenguySo just something like this golinux : apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
04:09.17Xenguy?
04:09.31fsmithredyeah, or dist-upgrade
04:09.59XenguyDo I need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list at all?
04:10.11fsmithredyou shouldn't need to
04:10.21fsmithredI can tell you for sure in a few minutes
04:10.32XenguyThanks fsmithred
04:11.08fsmithredwell, not sure how many minutes - just got through tasksel
04:11.40Xenguyno worries, I'll idle here for awhile then
04:45.19user1_Well I am going to log out...  But its real nice to see Debian quality continued in DEVUAN. It has proven itself as the new LEADING Linux Distro of the future. Bye guys..
04:49.56fsmithredXenguy, source.list has the mirror I picked plus the cdrom (DVD) plus jessie-security and jessie-updates
04:50.25fsmithredon a previous install that didn't use a mirror, I only got the cdrom.
