01:42.22DocScrutinizer05LOL  http://paste.opensuse.org/64262304  I feel like going silly
01:44.20DocScrutinizer05thinks bash - or generic linux kbd driver - could use a input method like known from windows: holt alt and type 3digit keycode on numeric keypad, then release alt

02:05.17*** part/#devuan catprints (~realperso@172.58.83.224)
02:15.25gnarfaceDocScrutinizer05: there's something called a "compose key" (linked in the footer of that wikipedia article) that you can use
02:16.13pydsigner°☺
02:16.20gnarfaceDocScrutinizer05: it's not useful for the full range of unicode-by-number entries, but it has mnemonically composed hotkey sequences for common stuff people use (i guess it was mostly focused on extended latin characters for urls and stuff)
02:16.46DocScrutinizer05gnarface: find me the compose key on a 39 key kbd! :-)
02:17.11gnarfaceDocScrutinizer05: you don't have to.  you can bind it to whatever you want /usr/bin/xmodmap -e 'keycode 134 = Multi_key'
02:17.13pydsignerDocScrutinizer05: Just put it on one of the layers
02:17.21gnarfaceDocScrutinizer05: (i think emacs has something equivalent built-in though)
02:17.39DocScrutinizer05xmodmap does affect X11 only, right?
02:17.43gnarfaceyes
02:17.45gnarfaceafaik
02:17.48gnarfaceno idea what you'd do at the shell
02:17.50DocScrutinizer05pointless then
02:18.26gnarfacenot so pointless
02:18.37gnarface´
02:18.44gnarface☺
02:18.45DocScrutinizer05for the last resort purpose it's totally pointless
02:18.54gnarfaceok maybe fairly pointeles
02:19.09gnarfacebut it'd be fine just working in xorg for me, if i could also enter raw unicode sequences
02:19.25gnarfaceas far as i'm concerned, it's just missing that ONE feature
02:19.44DocScrutinizer05what do you do on comsole when your kbd is broken or pathetic 39 key?
02:19.55gnarfaceyou re-bind to a different key
02:20.06DocScrutinizer05how do you do that?
02:20.11gnarfacewell first of all: /usr/bin/xmodmap -e 'keycode 134 = Multi_key'
02:20.20gnarfacekeycode in this context is any keyboard number
02:20.22DocScrutinizer05no /, no -
02:20.25gnarfacei just picked 134 because that's the windows key
02:20.31DocScrutinizer05no 134
02:20.42gnarfaceso you pick another key
02:20.53gnarfacei wasn't using key 134
02:21.04gnarfaceit's right-windows button
02:21.06DocScrutinizer05[a-zA-z,.]
02:21.28DocScrutinizer05and backspace enter and cursor keys
02:21.50gnarfacegot two shift buttons?
02:22.00DocScrutinizer05you missed my point: there are no keys to enter digits or - or /
02:22.21DocScrutinizer05two shift? on a 39 key kbd? lol
02:22.34gnarfacei might suggest you need a better keyboard...
02:23.02DocScrutinizer05I might suggest you now completely stray away from the topic at hand
02:23.30DocScrutinizer05the kbd is a given, I try to cope with it. Of course I could just think "meh!" and buy another device
02:24.43DocScrutinizer05yes, the system *could* get patched to support numeric keys and special chars on a different layer, there are like 2 modifier keys
02:24.53DocScrutinizer05with ctrl even a third
02:25.14gnarfacewell i think maybe xmodmap might be able to bind "compose" to a sequence of keys
02:25.30gnarfacewhich would allow you to work around this problem
02:25.33DocScrutinizer05xmodmap doesn't work in console, it's a X11 thing
02:25.40gnarfacei'm trying to figure out if it can be bound to a mouse button too
02:26.08gnarfacenot working at the console is obviously another problem entirely
02:27.00DocScrutinizer05for system bring-up you want console with <>|-12345... *before* you even think about xterm
02:27.27gnarfacehmm. on stackexchange, it's saying recent debian versions actually share keyboard settings between X and console...
02:27.47gnarfacemaybe that only counts for framebuffer console, but answer 2 here looks legit at first glance: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/44453/how-to-define-a-compose-key-in-terminal-no-desktop-environment
02:28.03gnarfacejust dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
02:28.12gnarfacesettings are in /etc/default/keyboard
02:28.20DocScrutinizer05loadkeys is one thing, yes
02:28.42gnarfaceno read the answer, it SPECIFICALLY says compose key assigned this way WORKS at the console
02:28.52gnarfaceobviously i haven't tested it myself
02:29.30gnarfaceis this not a debian/devuan system you're talking about?
02:30.14DocScrutinizer05loadkeys != xmodmap
02:31.46DocScrutinizer05and on a system that has wrong settings, you don't want to try using loadkeys to gain a sane working kbd layout, while using a broken kbd without 0-9 digits, | > etc
02:32.23DocScrutinizer05I'm talking about a last resort means to input a loadkey commend
02:32.59DocScrutinizer05I'm totally aware that this is no everyday feature
02:33.19DocScrutinizer05think of it like sysreq keys
02:34.02DocScrutinizer05almist never needed, but saves your day the one time in your lifetime that you really need it
02:34.22DocScrutinizer05http://paste.opensuse.org/64262304
02:34.51gnarfacebut he's not talking about loadkeys
02:35.01gnarfacethe person who asked the question mentions loadkeys tangentially
02:35.02DocScrutinizer05oh, not
02:35.09gnarfacethen answer number 2 corrects hime
02:35.12gnarface*him
02:35.32gnarfaceloadkeys is only mentioned because the original poster doesn't know what to do and he's grasping at straws
02:35.39DocScrutinizer05http://susepaste.org/77635623
02:36.40DocScrutinizer05sorry, I don't understand answer two then
02:36.51DocScrutinizer05what is it he suggests?
02:37.50gnarfacedpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration OR dpkg-reconfigure console-setup, but mentions settings are stored in the /etc/default/keyboard file, which looks human-editable
02:38.13DocScrutinizer05err what?
02:38.40*** join/#devuan blueness (~blueness@gentoo/developer/blueness)
02:38.54gnarfacebasically he's saying that the terminal obeys the compose key on debian, even though it doesn't obey *xmodmap*
02:39.02DocScrutinizer05that'S first answer, no?
02:39.40gnarfaceactually my bad, it's the first answer, of "2" answers, but it's numbered "10"
02:39.55DocScrutinizer05it has 10 thumbs-up
02:40.06gnarfaceis that what that means?  i don't use this site
02:40.36gnarface"You could also put XKBOPTIONS=compose:ralt in /etc/default/keyboard and run
02:40.36gnarfacesudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
02:40.37gnarface"
02:40.43gnarfacethat literal answer^ looks legit to me
02:40.59gnarface"sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
02:40.59gnarfaceand select Compose key: Right Alt (AltGr) on the appropriate screen."
02:41.03gnarface^ this one will probably work too
02:41.07DocScrutinizer05dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration is no option since a there's for sure no package for that and b there's not even a minus on the kbd
02:41.47gnarfaceyou have a control key and a tab key though, right?
02:41.56DocScrutinizer05no tab key
02:42.27DocScrutinizer05please read: THIRTY-NINE key keyboard
02:42.37gnarfaceyea yea, i get it, i've never seen one
02:42.46gnarfacebut you have a control key
02:42.53gnarfaceso this is a pain in the ass but possible still
02:43.17gnarfacei'm just trying to remember the sequence for entering raw tabs
02:43.18DocScrutinizer05https://ixquick-proxy.com/do/spg/show_picture.pl?l=english&rais=1&oiu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.allaboutsymbian.com%2Fimages%2Fnews%2Fdevices%2FN900%2Fn900-keyboard.jpg&sp=49b925b8c7dd777e1c6566d99abeb7e6
02:43.42gnarfacea raw "enter" is ctrl-v, ctrl-j
02:43.45DocScrutinizer05tab is ctrl+h
02:43.54DocScrutinizer05o.O
02:44.05pydsignerThere's a method to that madness
02:44.15gnarfacehmmm, no ctrl-h is backspace for me
02:44.17pydsignerYou're entering an ascii code
02:44.27DocScrutinizer05ooh you're right
02:44.36DocScrutinizer05tab is prolly ctrl-i or sth
02:45.11DocScrutinizer05pydsigner: that's what I'm talking about
02:45.24gnarfacei know ctrl-b and ctrl-f are your left and right arrows.  ctrl-k and ctrl-y are cut and paste.  so using that, if you can find the one for [tab] you can tab-complete a file name with a "-" in it then cut and paste it wherever you need.  it would honestly be easier to just use emacs
02:45.49gnarfacebut this can be done
02:46.24DocScrutinizer05unless of course you're in console where there's no such thing like cut&paste
02:46.34gnarfacebut there is
02:46.46pydsignerDocScrutinizer05: it's Ctrl
02:46.47gnarfacethere is absolutely a kill ring in bash
02:46.54pydsigner* Ctrl+I
02:47.10gnarfaceDocScrutinizer05: cut&paste in bash works just like emacs, by default these days.
02:47.30DocScrutinizer05aha, to cut something I need to highlight it first
02:47.45pydsignerAlternatively, you could order a keyboard with a minus sign
02:47.51gnarfaceDocScrutinizer05: yes, it cuts everything under the cursor up to the end of the line
02:48.03gnarfacepydsigner: don't go there, it triggers him
02:48.05DocScrutinizer05pydsigner: please!!! https://ixquick-proxy.com/do/spg/show_picture.pl?l=english&rais=1&oiu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.allaboutsymbian.com%2Fimages%2Fnews%2Fdevices%2FN900%2Fn900-keyboard.jpg&sp=49b925b8c7dd777e1c6566d99abeb7e6
02:48.54gnarfaceDocScrutinizer05: i'm not saying it's right, i'm not saying it's good, and i'm not saying i don't sympathize fully with your plight.  i'm just rejecting the assertion it's "impossible" since all empirical evidence i have here is to the contrary.
02:49.03DocScrutinizer05default debian keymap for that device is obviously totally broken/useless
02:49.22pydsignerDocScrutinizer05: Ah so the symkeys don't work?
02:49.27DocScrutinizer05nope
02:50.00gnarfaceDocScrutinizer05: but i would *definitely* say a man stuck with a 39-key keyboard should be more familiar with bash cursor manipulation hotkeys.  they were *designed* for exactly those types of keyboards.
02:50.17DocScrutinizer05aha
02:50.18gnarfacei remember a few others
02:50.25gnarfacectrl-p and ctrl-n are your up and down arrows
02:50.36gnarface(useful for cycling command history)
02:50.54gnarfacectrl-a and ctrl-e jump to beginning and end of the line automatically
02:50.57DocScrutinizer05well, would you please read http://paste.opensuse.org/64262304
02:51.01gnarfacectrl-u clears (cuts) the whole line
02:51.17DocScrutinizer05i'm using all these and a few more since 3 decades
02:51.48gnarfacedo you have an alt key too?  alt-f and alt-b jump forward and back by word-boundary characters (useful for jumping to the nearest "-" or " " in a long command-line)
02:51.56DocScrutinizer05no
02:52.06DocScrutinizer05again, look at the picture I linked
02:52.06gnarfacehow about meta?
02:52.16DocScrutinizer05headdesks
02:52.55gnarfaceoh, it's a phone
02:53.11gnarfacesorry thought we were talking about an old DEC Alpha or something
02:53.11DocScrutinizer05please understand I have *zich* issues with understanding how to create a working keymapping
02:53.43gnarfacebut that's a n900... someone must have already made one
02:53.53gnarfaceyou're not the first person to put debian on one of these
02:54.00DocScrutinizer05I wonder how to work yourself out of a situation where you booted to console and are stuck with a keyboard that doesn't evenm have minus or number keys
02:54.17gnarfacedoes that thing have a micro usb port?
02:54.23gnarfaceor bluetooth?
02:54.33DocScrutinizer05it has, but not the needed drivers
02:54.39gnarfacehmmm
02:54.44DocScrutinizer05God!
02:54.57gnarfacewell you have arrows though :)
02:55.08gnarfacei thought you didn't even have arrow keys
02:55.13DocScrutinizer05which seem to not work
02:55.19gnarfacethat's why i was reciting all the bash cursor manipulation stuff
02:55.31pydsignerDocScrutinizer05: do you have Python?
02:55.53DocScrutinizer05that's why I suggested to use ctrl+P to the user trying to install a debian kernel on N900
02:56.51gnarfaceok, DocScrutinizer05 this is useful, ctrl-i will be a tab key for you
02:57.20DocScrutinizer05not like I didn't know
02:57.35gnarfacewell but you can use that to get your "-" key
02:57.40gnarfaceso that's why i assumed you didn't know...
02:58.06DocScrutinizer05again: I have *zilch* issues with understanding how to create a working keymapping
02:58.25pydsignerSo.... what was the actual question then?
02:58.35gnarfaceoh you just want to be mad about it, that's fine
02:58.42gnarfacei was actually trying to provide material help
02:58.45DocScrutinizer05and I don't see how to get - with tab unless there's something containing a - to expand to
02:59.02gnarfacewell obviously there's SOMETHING on that system that is
02:59.43DocScrutinizer05and I'm not mad about anything, I just suggested to add a alt-code imput method to linux kernel kbd driver
03:00.37DocScrutinizer05actually a modified alt-code scheme that works with alphabet chars/keys only
03:00.47gnarfacebtw
03:00.50gnarfaceyour keyboard has a "-" key
03:01.00gnarfacenow that i'm looking at it
03:01.09gnarfaceFN-f
03:01.19gnarfaceunderscore appears to be FN-g
03:01.33DocScrutinizer05o.O did you read the user I'm trying to help out has installed a more or less generic debian kernel?
03:01.58gnarfaceare you saying that blue arrow key is non-operational?
03:02.08gnarfacei thought you said you could get numbers
03:02.15DocScrutinizer05exactly, and I said it two times already
03:02.26gnarfacebut how did you get the numbers then?
03:02.33DocScrutinizer05no, I said the user CANNOT get numbers
03:04.01gnarface<PROTECTED>
03:04.18DocScrutinizer05I confused you, sorry for that. >>[2017-04-10 Mon 03:42:22] <DocScrutinizer05> LOL  http://paste.opensuse.org/64262304  I feel like going silly<< was about some ugly hack I provided to a user trying to install debian to N900 and who got stuck on a console which basically only knows [a-zA-Z]
03:06.26DocScrutinizer05we explained to him how to fix the kbd mapping, but apart from that there's a genuine concern about what to do when you're confronted with a console that doesn't understand the keys you need for the most basic operations. I suggested to teach kernel about alt-code
03:07.14gnarfacehttps://wiki.maemo.org/Remapping_keyboard
03:07.25gnarfacefor the n900 at least, this was an already solved problem
03:08.25gnarfacelooks like if you screw the file up though the system won't boot
03:08.28gnarfacedicey
03:08.41DocScrutinizer05http://mg.pov.lt/maemo-irclog/%23maemo.2017-04-09.log.html#t2017-04-09T23:38:19-2
03:09.03DocScrutinizer05for the N900?? no, for maemo on N900
03:09.27gnarfacebut that file in question, /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rx-51
03:09.33gnarfaceit's on my devuan ceres install
03:09.48DocScrutinizer05oh freat info
03:09.49gnarfacei doubt devuan/debian is different from maemo here
03:10.28DocScrutinizer05nah, that file is very N900 specific and will look alike no matter in which distro it shows up
03:12.23DocScrutinizer05but that's actually not the 'question'. If there's any question then that was "how to input X on a kbd that has no X in currently active keymapping?"
03:12.54DocScrutinizer05and that led me to [2017-04-10 Mon 03:44:20] * DocScrutinizer05 thinks bash - or generic linux kbd driver - could use a input method like known from windows: holt alt and type 3digit keycode on numeric keypad, then release alt
03:13.32DocScrutinizer05and [2017-04-10 Mon 04:03:01] <DocScrutinizer05> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt_code#Linux :-/
03:13.50gnarfaceyea, i followed that part and just pointed out that compose was already for this, and DOES work outside of X
03:14.18gnarfaceand then you pointed out the keyboard thing and i thought it was a challenge about how to enable it with only a ctrl key and alphanumerics
03:14.28gnarface(which i still insist is possible)
03:14.40gnarfacei don't like the windows approach
03:14.48DocScrutinizer05even compose can't input arbitrary chars, it's just a glorified further layer on keymapping basically
03:14.56DocScrutinizer05what's not mapped can't get entered
03:15.27gnarfaceyea, that's why i said it was missing just that one feature... it can't take numeric indexes.  but that would be easier (and saner by far) to add to the compose feature than it would be to alter a keyboard driver for it
03:15.40*** join/#devuan menip (~menip@c-73-83-133-80.hsd1.wa.comcast.net)
03:15.52DocScrutinizer05you not liking the alt-code approach doesn't mean others shouldn't have it. You can ignore it (or even disable it in driver parameters) if you don't like it
03:15.54gnarfacebut now that i know we're talking about a obsolete cellphone, i'll grant you that a custom keyboard driver isn't so absurd an approach
03:16.36gnarfacei just see that doing it that way is causes unnecessary duplication of efforts.  compose is 99% there already.  why throw the baby out with the bathwater?
03:16.51DocScrutinizer05and there's nothing 'custom' in adding alt-code feature to the generic linux kbd driver
03:16.59gnarfacefor a long time i've said they should extend the compose key feature to allow numeric entries
03:17.45DocScrutinizer05then you're actually arguing FOR a alt-code method, not against :-)
03:18.07gnarfacei'm arguing for an equivalent feature.  i think the place you want to implement it is the wrong place.
03:18.17DocScrutinizer05I don't mind if that's called xompose key or alt key, for N900 for example it needs to be ctrl key anyway
03:18.46*** join/#devuan blueness (~blueness@gentoo/developer/blueness)
03:19.20DocScrutinizer05no, the place is the only right place. kernel kbd driver. Everything after that is only used by parts of the system, while other parts don't benefit from the function
03:19.41gnarfacethe problem is in linux, alt+[number] is already used for all kinds of stuff.  the mapping couldn't be identical or other userland behavior would break all over.
03:20.17gnarfaceand we can agree to disagree on whether the keyboard driver is the right place to implement this
03:20.29DocScrutinizer05I don't mind if that's alt+[number] or <6 times shift in 2 seconds>
03:20.31gnarfacei think it belongs in userspace
03:21.20DusXMTDon't we already have CTRL+SHIFT+U?
03:21.23DocScrutinizer05then it's pointless the very moment you are on low level system tasks, like console
03:21.33DusXMTIt doesn't work everywhere, but it is pretty handy
03:21.55gnarfaceDusXMT: i think that's urxvt only or something.  the caveat here is it has to work outside of X
03:22.15DusXMTgnarface: Try "CTRL+SHIFT+U 20ac" in any GTK-based application :3
03:22.23gnarfaceoh anything gtk, really?
03:22.29DocScrutinizer05https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt_code#Linux
03:22.58gnarfaceDusXMT: no i just get lower-cased "u"
03:23.10DusXMTonce you press enter
03:23.26gnarfaceDusXMT: no the u comes out immediately.  sometimes it's underlined
03:23.41DusXMTYes, you're supposed to type a 16-bit unicode code after that
03:23.44gnarfaceDusXMT: gtk3 only maybe?
03:23.46DusXMTin hex
03:24.00DusXMT20ac is an example of such a code
03:24.11DocScrutinizer05btw alt-code is also very useful for passwords. It's totally locale-independent
03:24.30gnarfaceexcept it's ... by definition not
03:25.11DocScrutinizer05aha
03:25.30DocScrutinizer05by which definition?
03:25.48gnarfacenot microsoft's i guess
03:26.39gnarfacectrl-shift-u isn't working for me anywhere
03:26.47gnarfacei get lower-cased u immediately, or i get an underlined u
03:26.50DusXMTgnarface: You said it gave you the underlined u
03:26.54gnarfacedepending on the program (including firefox)
03:26.56DusXMTthat means that it expects a code
03:27.01DusXMTand then enter
03:27.09gnarfaceOH
03:27.11gnarfaceinteresting....
03:27.30gnarfaceoh that's yucky
03:27.32gnarfacei don't like that at all
03:27.37gnarfacebut yea it works in gtk2
03:27.51DocScrutinizer05not very smart an article, but anyway: http://www.irongeek.com/alt-numpad-ascii-key-combos-and-chart.html at least covers "by definition" - there are exactly two: IBM and microsoft
03:27.53gnarfacebut while you're doing it, you have to type out an underlined u8217 or whatever
03:27.59gnarfacethen hit "enter" once
03:28.04gnarfaceand trust the thing ignores the enter
03:30.08DusXMTWell, that's the thing about linux, there is no single standard way of doing things, and we wouldn't want it to be that way :) (in fact, that's why we're here)
03:31.06DigitFOR FREEDOM!  ;)
03:34.32DocScrutinizer05I think at sequence like >shift-down, shift-up, shift-down, shift-up, shift-down, shift-up, shift-down, u-down, u-up<  then the 4 digit numeric code typed on either numpad or a virtual numpad formed from e.g. UIOHJKBNM; would work in kernel driver and wouldn't introduce any problems/conflicts
03:35.14gnarfaceyea that's not something i want keyboard drivers wasting overhead on though
03:35.46gnarfaceotherwise why not embed the whole shell into the keyboard driver?
03:35.57DocScrutinizer05oh my, that terrible overhead. Will bloat the code and slow down keyboard input... wait.. err...

03:36.42DocScrutinizer05see sysreq keys
03:36.59DocScrutinizer05they are kernel driver, no?
03:37.52gmcastilwhat is the accepted method for installing Google Chrome on Devuan Jessie 1 Beta2?
03:38.08gnarfacesysreq keys are an optional feature you can disable
03:38.22gmcastilthe sources docs make it clear not to mingle debian and devuan repos - is there an accepted way to do this?
03:38.23gnarfaceit's often disabled for security in fact
03:38.59DocScrutinizer05so? what makes you think the alt-code couldn't be disabled too?
03:39.39gnarfaceand i'm not sure the magic sysreq key is even in the keyboard drivers, i'd have to double check
03:41.08DocScrutinizer05for tty you could do same with <guardtime> U backspace U backspace U backspace U backspace NNNN tab
03:41.22gnarfacegmcastil: chromium is in the repos, but you gotta break the rules if you want to install google's
03:42.22gnarfaceDocScrutinizer05: you aren't really into video games on linux, are you?
03:42.43DocScrutinizer05you aren't using shell to play video games, are you?
03:43.11gmcastilgnarface: so its either chromium the 'guarnteed' compatible way or i take my chances with the .deb file fromgoogle?
03:43.12gnarfaceno, but i AM using keyboard drivers :)  a gamer wouldn't sneer at input latency concerns.
03:43.25DocScrutinizer05note every terminal has a raw mode too
03:43.27gnarfacegmcastil: sorry to say, yep.. :(
03:43.27gmcastil(or I suppose I could build from source)
03:43.37gmcastilgnarface: np, just wanted to know what my options were - thanks
03:44.49DocScrutinizer05and a sequence like <guardtime> U backspace U backspace U backspace U backspace NNNN tab  is very unlikely to ever occur accidentally, and you're still free to keep it disabled on your gamer PC
03:46.26DocScrutinizer05tty already does a friggin lot of such magic
03:49.36gnarfaceDocScrutinizer05: i think some sort of literal escape sequence that moves the load to command-parsing time in bash would be better
03:49.53gnarfaceDocScrutinizer05: that way you're not just adding more input latency to the keyboard driver
03:50.10DocScrutinizer05c'mon, inpit latency
03:50.22gnarfaceyea man, input latency.  gamers are for real.
03:50.41gnarfaceand we actually care about performance.  shocking, i know.
03:50.45DocScrutinizer05again, do you use a tty for gaming?
03:50.57Digitsometimes.
03:51.17gnarfaceno but again, do use a KEYBOARD for gaming
03:51.26DocScrutinizer05then shut the option down. You have to do that for a truckload of ither stty stuff already
03:51.32Digitnot often enough though.  would be nice to pipe graphical games to some kind of ncurses fancy.  ^_^
03:52.10gnarfacebash already expands stuff like $ENVIRONMENT variables and "~/" = /home/[user] so it would be perfectly inline with that to add some unicode literal prefix sequence
03:52.31DocScrutinizer05I still fail to see any latency from parsing a 10 char string in input on anything faster than a 10MHz 9090 CPU
03:52.40DocScrutinizer058080 even
03:53.22gnarfacei'm sure you couldn't tell the difference between 30fps and 60fps too.  but these are the types of things that you become more aware of with time.
03:53.39gnarfaceit's about what you're paying attention to
03:54.03DocScrutinizer05I'm aware a human being can't tell 5 milliceconds from 6 milliseconds
03:54.45DocScrutinizer05and any "latency" from parsing a 10char string is magnitudes less than 1ms
03:55.42DocScrutinizer05I of course can tell difference between 30 and 60 fps, honestly now
03:55.56*** join/#devuan gmcastil (ae10eb37@gateway/web/freenode/ip.174.16.235.55)
03:58.12DocScrutinizer05actually the additional latency is in the magnitude of 5 to 10 CPU instructions per char
03:59.12DocScrutinizer05when you want to go leete with optimizing: 2 instructions
03:59.40DocScrutinizer05one increment and one compare and branch if not zero
04:00.14*** join/#devuan k1llz0mb13s (~zombieali@unaffiliated/zombiealive)
04:02.25gnarface1 millisecond input X 100 key inputs == 100 milliseconds slower than the competition.  100 milliseconds is a HUGE amount of time when you're talking about reaction times.
04:02.36DocScrutinizer05bullshit
04:03.01gnarfacelike i said, it's more about what you're paying attention to.  you'd notice if you were doing something that required these types of reaction times to win that you cared about.
04:03.16DocScrutinizer059 months pregnancy / 100 women = 0.08 months
04:04.03gnarfacebut that's a parallel action.  keyboard buttons are largely used in sequence, not parallel (some exceptions)
04:04.12gnarfacebusted analogy
04:05.18gnarfacein fact lots of gaming largely boils down to a long series of discrete, fast, and precisely timed button presses
04:05.26DocScrutinizer05when you are gaming via internet with a ping time of 5ms and you send 1GB of data during a month, after that month your reaction is 500000s delayed against your competitor, right?
04:05.50gnarfacealso a busted analogy
04:06.00DocScrutinizer05no, an exact analogy
04:06.18gnarfaceare you drunk?
04:06.21gnarfaceit's obviously not
04:06.24DocScrutinizer05are you?
04:06.47gnarfacenot yet, but i'm thinking i should have been for this conversation. besides which, i'd be gaming on a connection of much less than 1ms latency
04:07.13gnarface0.015 - 0.018 milliseconds over a lan, usually
04:07.21gnarfaceif you're doing anything remotely competitive of course
04:07.53DocScrutinizer05when you introduce a 1us delay to a keypress, your next keapress ist't delayed any longer than its own delay, IOW again 1uS, and after 1 zillion keypresses the delay is still 1us per keypress and so your rwaction time not delayed at all for any human noticeable amount
04:07.56gnarfaceif you're playing WoW on a server on another continent, obviously your ping will suck and you will not be able to compete effectively.  obviously in THAT case, a couple extra milliseconds will go unnoticed, but that's not a sum total example of all gaming
04:08.42gnarfacesee, this is how i KNOW you're not a gamer, because you've forgotten to consider that the game has to have time to react to the first keypress before the second one is valid.
04:09.03gmcastilis there a way to change window managers at a user level (instead of using update-alternatives --config x-window-manager)
04:09.04DocScrutinizer05BWAHAHA
04:09.11gnarfacejust because you can press the buttons faster doesn't mean that millisecond didn't impact the game's input speed
04:09.51gnarfaceand just because you didn't notice, doesn't mean it didn't still contribute to your loss
04:10.52DocScrutinizer05now I know for sure you're not a developer, otherwise you'd know that any game's internal timing is rules by the clock syncing the game engine, there's no delay buulding up from accumulated keypress delays, unless maybe you talk about chess
04:11.32gnarfaceno, of course there's not always a delay.  i am a developer, the games aren't all coded the same.  sometimes they'll just IGNORE keypresses instead
04:11.50gnarfacewhich is sometimes better, sometimes worse
04:12.10gnarfacedepends on what the game is doing with your input
04:12.18DocScrutinizer05because the keypress been a 1000000 * 1 microsecond too late?? ;-P
04:12.31gnarfacenot microsecond
04:12.39gnarfacenow that's hyperbole
04:13.02DocScrutinizer05no, that's exactly what we're talking about here, probably even way less
04:13.40gnarfacelook here's what i'm hearing from you "i don't give a shit about latency, i'm not a gamer, and anyone who disagrees with me is a bad person and stupid"
04:13.55DusXMTgnarface: They showed numbers
04:14.09DocScrutinizer05you're honestly trying to tell me that adding a 2 CPU isntructions to processing of an input "byte" in keyboard driver will cause games drop keypresses? c'mon don't kid me
04:14.53gnarfacegmcastil: if you're not using a graphical login manager that has the feature to change it, you can try just installing another and calling it from ~/.xinitrc when you run startx
04:14.59DusXMTThe one thing I'm not sure about is if it's enabled by default, it might seem odd to some people that after two clicks of shift, 4 keys will be ignored
04:15.13DocScrutinizer05you can't let go on your input delay optimization for gaming, that's all *I* see
04:15.17DusXMT(or however many will be dedicated to the code)
04:15.51DocScrutinizer05DusXMT: I didn't ask for it being enabled by default
04:15.55gnarfaceDocScrutinizer05: i'm not only saying it's not worth the risk, i'm saying there's corner cases you haven't even considered, and i'm saying its unacceptable at any cost of latency whatsoever.  the keyboard driver is THE WRONG PLACE FOR THIS
04:16.44DocScrutinizer05and I come to the conclusion that it's not worth discussing this with you on that level
04:17.33gnarfacea long time ago i suggested we agree to disagree
04:17.44gnarfaceyou're the one who wanted to keep pouring fuel on it because you can't handle being told you're wrong
04:17.55gnarfaceit's childish, and insulting franly
04:17.59gnarface*frankly
04:18.25gnarfaceadditionally i found your use of the word "bullshit" to be an unnecessary and derogatory trivialization of my argument
04:18.45DocScrutinizer05yep, exactly, since it's you who's evidently wrong. Stop kidding me with VS like "adding 2 CPU instructions to processing of a keypress has inevaluable risk and impact to gamers"
04:19.12gnarfaceyour suggestions were NOT "2-CPU instruction" suggestions.  now who's bullshitting?
04:19.23gmcastilgnarface: i'm using slim (i didnt install kde or gnome when i installed devuan) - i saw that slim is not really maintained anymore
04:19.27DocScrutinizer05aha, quoze please!
04:19.34DocScrutinizer05or you're wrong AGAIN
04:19.34gmcastilgnarface: is there a more well suited DM?
04:19.40DusXMT05:58 < DocScrutinizer05> actually the additional latency is in the magnitude of 5 to 10 CPU instructions per char
04:19.44DusXMT05:59 < DocScrutinizer05> when you want to go leete with optimizing: 2 instructions
04:19.47DusXMT05:59 < DocScrutinizer05> one increment and one compare and branch if not zero
04:20.10DocScrutinizer05thanks, proves my point
04:20.23gnarfaceoh two instructions PER CHARACTER
04:20.28gnarfacethat's a big difference
04:20.40gnarfacenow how about if you don't assume intel chips, then what?
04:21.12DocScrutinizer05how about you assume suse Z3 or somesuch? then we're STILL in the range of 1ms
04:21.24gnarfacegmcastil: er, probably but i can't make a good suggestion.  i built Moksha from bodhi right before it hit the wall...
04:21.28DocScrutinizer05Zuse Z3
04:22.18gnarfacethis is again 1ms PER CHARACTER right?
04:22.29DocScrutinizer05with a 1MHz Z80 we are in the range of 16microseconds
04:22.52gnarfacesome of this stuff was actually faster on those old chips, but no i'm not talking about 8bit hardware from 30 years ago.
04:22.54DocScrutinizer05and now i'm sure you're either drunk or trolling, or both
04:23.02gnarfacei'm neither drunk, nor trolling
04:23.36gnarfacei'm absolutely serious about this, your idea to move this into the keyboard driver is just wrong-minded
04:23.46gnarfaceit belongs in the shell if anywhere
04:24.37DusXMTOr in the UI library, and we already have an implementation of that :) Of course, apparently a "yucky" one
04:25.13DusXMT(good enough if you need the odd special character every now and then on an en_US qwerty keyboard
04:25.16DusXMT)
04:25.24gnarfaceyes, i'm also opposed fundamentally to the whole push to "let's do everything the way microsoft does it!"
04:25.48DusXMTYet... you want to do alt-codes the microsoft way? :)
04:25.57gnarfaceno, HE did, not me
04:26.01gnarfacethat was his argument
04:26.06DocScrutinizer05"belongs to" is something we can't decide who's wrong and who's right, as long as your claim isn't backed by any facts
04:26.14DusXMTwas talking about the input method, not the implementation
04:27.02DocScrutinizer05but stop quoting me incorrectly
04:28.25gnarfacei mean, your claim isn't backed by facts either.  this ultimately boils down to "no more latency" vs "suck it up, kid"
04:28.33gnarfaceit's "daddy talk" nothing more.
04:28.37gnarfaceget off your high horse
04:29.05gnarfacewe *could* have just stopped earlier when i said we can agree to disagree.  maybe that's still the best choice.
04:29.27DocScrutinizer05please stop quoting me incorrectly!!! I never was offensive like "suck it up, kid" and you're not looking good resorting to this style of argumentation
04:29.54gnarfacenow you're telling ME, that you weren't offensive to me?
04:30.08gnarfacei think we BOTH took an unprofessional tone here at several points.

06:38.20gmcastilwhy does xrandr behave differently in ubuntu, debian, devuan, etc.?
06:43.07gmcastilalso, why does a fresh install of Devuan not find my .bashrc?
06:43.20gmcastil. .bashrc somehow can't find the file....
06:43.29gmcastilthat makes no sense to me at all
06:47.03KatolaZgmcastil: ?
06:47.24KatolaZwhat do you mean by "can't find the file"?
06:47.46gmcastilafter I log in and open a shell, it doesnt run my .bashrc
06:48.02gmcastiland, in my home directory, when i run . .bashrc it says it cant find the file
06:48.16KatolaZdo you have a ~/.bashrc file?

06:48.50gmcastili have never encoutnered this before
06:49.26gmcastili have no idea how that can happen
06:49.46KatolaZfirst of all, you do not seem to be running bash
06:49.48KatolaZbut sh
06:49.52KatolaZwhich should be dash
06:50.04KatolaZ(I might be wrong on this...)
06:50.09gmcastilsh --version says i'm runnign bash
06:50.20gmcastilthe 'update-alternatives' thing has me so confused
06:51.25gmcastilhttps://bpaste.net/show/22e04bad2bc4
06:55.50gmcastilso i'm at a loss....and when it comes to xrandr, none of the examples and recommendations seem to do anything
06:56.47gmcastilthe 5 year old CentOS I have to use at work supports 3 monitors and xmonad out of the box.....Devuan cant seem to get bash login to work properly
06:57.48KatolaZgmcastil: .bashrc is for non-login shells though
06:57.56gmcastili should still be able to source it
06:58.13gmcastil. .bashrc in a directory containing it should not error out not being able to find the file
06:58.25KatolaZand if you login through a graphical login manager, .bashrc is not the place where you should have initial confs
06:58.55gmcastilso i should source it from something like .bash_profile then?
06:59.02KatolaZnope
06:59.14AntoFoxo/
06:59.24gmcastil...
06:59.26gnarfacegmcastil: you should be able to make a custom xorg.conf to make your dual-screen layout permanent.  with a couple notable exceptions (ok, just one, Nvidia's binary drivers) xorg.conf syntax can support anything statically that xrandr can do dynamically
06:59.26AntoFoxstupid question
06:59.33KatolaZyou should put the xrandr stuff where your login manager would find them
06:59.48gmcastilsee....i get different answers to the same question

07:00.19AntoFoxopenoffice  it can be placed in "contrib" or "non-free"???
07:00.23gnarfacegmcastil: you will find i tend to prefer the "old ways" but there are often more than one ways to do it
07:00.24gmcastilgnarface: so i should edit xorg.conf instead of the using xrandr then?
07:00.31AntoFoxKatolaZ: o/
07:01.07gmcastili dont understand why there isnt a clear answer to how to run a setup script for displays at startup.....literally every linux machine on earth needs to do this
07:01.21gmcastili've tried three different ways, none of which work
07:01.29gnarfacegmcastil: did you try ~/.xinitrc?
07:01.44gmcastilnothing i put in .xinitrc gets run when i log in
07:01.56gnarfacegmcastil: .xinitrc has to be executable
07:02.01gmcastilits as if login completely ignores everything in my home directory
07:02.25gnarfacegmcastil: also .xinitrc runs when X starts.  do you start X with "startx" or a login manager?
07:02.26gmcastilxfce4 recognized both monitors just fine
07:02.32gmcastili'm using lightdm
07:02.42gmcastilwhen i use xfce4 it recognizes both
07:02.46gmcastili switche to xmonad and now nothing works
07:03.01gnarfacesome window managers have built-in xrandr controls for saving/editing desktop layout, some don't.
07:03.14gnarface(and they tend to not play nicely together)
07:03.25gmcastilso where would i put directions that i want to be followed when i log in?
07:03.48gmcastili've tried /etc/X11/Xsession.d, /etc/lighdm/lightdm.conf, $HOME/.screenlayout, $HOME/.xinitrc
07:04.24gmcastilout of the box centos from 5 years ago gets it right....i dont understand why a fresh install of devuan cant get this right
07:04.30KatolaZgmcastil: it's just a mess
07:04.38gmcastilfeels that way
07:04.47KatolaZand depends on the combination of
07:04.52KatolaZlogin manager
07:04.58KatolaZsession manager
07:05.04KatolaZwindow manager
07:05.14KatolaZdesktop manager (if any)
07:05.37gnarfacegmcastil: i tend to use xdm for login manager, i don't know where it OR lightdm store their configs, sorry.  if you check the lightdm docs, it should have some place to put a post-login hook.  but then, so i would expect do most window managers
07:06.03gnarfacegmcastil: (i use xdm in the few places i need a login manager, but mostly i just run startx manually and put my stuff in ~/.xinitrc)
07:06.33gnarfacegmcastil: see, the thing is ~/.xinitrc is run when *X* starts, which is BEFORE you log in, if you're using a GUI login manager.  sorry if that was already clear to you, i just want to be sure.
07:07.43gmcastilyeah, its pretty confusing
07:08.03gmcastili'd like to go back to just starting x manually instead of a login manager
07:08.24gmcastilthe login manager unnecessarily complicates matters
07:08.36gnarfacethat usually ends up being my conclusion as well
07:09.12gmcastilhow can i decouple myself from the login manager?
07:09.31gnarfacei would just uninstall it
07:09.39gmcastiljust rip out slim and lightdm?
07:09.50gnarfacecan't you just rip out lightdm while leaving slim in place?
07:09.56gmcastilyeah, i can do both
07:10.02gmcastilbut slim wouldnt let me pick my window manager
07:10.11gnarfacewait, slim IS the window manager, right?
07:10.22gmcastilno, its one of the lightweight GDM
07:10.47gnarfaceoh, they're both login managers
07:10.51gmcastilya
07:11.06gmcastilso assuming the package manager does its thing right and i remove both of those, i should be able to restart into a non-X environment and just run startx myself then
07:11.07gnarfacesorry for the tangent, but did you try ~/.xsession or ~/.xsessionrc?
07:11.14gmcastilyeah, i tried those too
07:11.30gmcastili've googled the crap out of hte question and all i've found are "Try this or this"
07:11.41gnarfaceok ok
07:11.42gmcastili dont understand why "trying" should be a part of the solution
07:12.02gnarfaceit's because there's too many combinations of stuff you might have installed
07:12.04gmcastili had devuan on here and reinstalled last night - previous install didnt have a GDM, so i had to run startx with those
07:12.20gnarfaceyea, just so much diversity in available configs
07:12.28gnarfaceit's hard to remember every available option
07:12.35gmcastili guess that makes sense, if different window managers do ddifferent things in different orders and dont respect interfaces
07:12.48gmcastilone sec, i'm going to restart x and see what happens - thanks for the help
07:12.56gnarfacewait
07:13.10gnarfaceare you gonna restart X *after* removing slim and lightdm first?
07:13.23gnarfacemake sure you have the 'xinit' package installed
07:13.44gnarface(it contains startx, which you might not have if you installed with the GUI on-by-default)
07:13.55gnarface(actually if you're missing that it might explain why ~/.xinitrc didn't work too)
07:14.56gnarfaceit's also worth noting that WITH a GUI login manager running, "restarting X" requires more than just a log-out and log-in
07:15.20gnarface(for lightdm you would run something like: "/etc/init.d/lightdm restart" or "service lightdm restart")

07:18.41gmcastilso removing the login managers got me back to using 'startx' and gives both monitors working properly
07:19.02gmcastilmy original problem was not being able to figure out how to change default window managers at the user level
07:23.38gmcastilgnarface: how do you tell it your window manager of choice?
07:31.02gnarfacegmcastil: by making my ~/.xinitrc contain this: http://paste.debian.net/926808/
07:31.52gnarfacegmcastil: (obviously, swap out "/usr/bin/enlightenment_start" for your own WM of choice.  but now you should also be able to have multiple WMs installed and just switch between them by changing this file and restarting X)
07:32.41gnarfacegmcastil: if you want other programs already running in the WM when it starts up, put them before the WM execution line, and append "&"
07:32.59gnarfacegmcastil: (you can put xrandr commands in there for example)
07:34.07gnarfacegmcastil: also, i was wrong earlier when i said ~/.xinitrc has to be executable.  apparently it just needs a shell shebang on the first line
07:34.58gmcastilyeah, invoking X directly with explicit directions on what the hell to do makes a lot more sense to me
07:35.06gmcastilGDM are stupid to me
07:35.38gnarfacewell the thing about a GDM is they all require X themselves, so X is *already started* by the time you see the login prompt.  i agree, that adds a logistical problem for me too.
07:36.18gnarfacebut i see why casual users might object at a visceral level to the 80's era look of the virtual terminal login prompt :)
07:36.39gnarfacebut personally, it makes me nostalgic
07:37.42gnarfacemy streaming box in the livingroom has xdm though, because occasionally it might be used by someone who can remember a username and password but can't be bothered to remember the command 'startx'

07:41.03gmcastili guess i'm a little confused - i'm not sure where / how to tell X to use xmonad as its window manager
07:41.59gnarfacewhat does this command give you?  "which xmonad"
07:42.31gnarface(sorry, i don't know xmonad either, and i don't want to simply guess it's /usr/bin/xmonad)
07:44.18gmcastilits /usr/bin/xmonad
07:45.41gnarfaceright, so the contents of your ~/.xinitrc should look like this: http://paste.debian.net/926813/
07:47.06gmcastili had exec /usr/bin/xmonad

07:49.33gmcastil_so xmonad launches when i run startx.....but now its mirroring the two displays
07:50.03gnarfaceright, so unless xmonad has some desktop layout tool builtin, you'll probably want to add your xrandr command to that ~/.xinitrc now
07:50.57gnarfaceor you could go the custom xorg.conf route
07:51.19gnarfacereally depends on what you're more comfortable with, but if you put it in ~/.xinitrc it can be user-specific
07:52.12gnarfaceand if you put it in xorg.conf, you might run into obnoxious parsing bugs with certain video drivers (*cough* nvidia *cough)
07:52.23gnarfaceneither solution is perfect
07:53.14gnarfacebut both solutions are known to work... mostly
07:54.17gnarfacei'm guessing that xfce4 must have some way to persist the desktop layout on it's own, whereas xmonad does not
07:54.50gmcastil_so just drop the xrandr script I have into .xinitrc and that shoudl do it?
07:55.12gnarfaceyea pretty much
07:55.15gnarfacedon't forget the "&"
07:55.42gmcastil_hm?
07:56.04gnarfacehang on i'll give you an example
07:58.35gnarfacegmcastil_: http://paste.debian.net/926815/
07:59.08gmcastil_cool...so, dumb question....when does .xinitrc get run?
07:59.36gnarfacewhen you run startx
08:00.19gnarfaceit's run immediately before the window manager starts up
08:00.26gnarfacebut AFTER you run startx
08:01.14gmcastil_cool, i'll give it a try now.....terminal is still trapped int he 1970s, but one thing at a time

08:03.26gmcastilwell, that would appear to work
08:03.44gmcastilthanks for the help dude
08:03.58gnarfaceno problem man. :)
08:04.21gmcastilcurious as to why its this complicated for devuan
08:04.29gnarfaceyou know, xrandr might not even need that '&'
08:04.36gmcastilmaybe its because i'm not trying to use gnome or kde
08:04.48gnarfacenow that i'm looking at some of my other machines, i see that not all the commands strictly need to be backgrounded with &
08:05.09buZzi'd be interested in hearing a distro where xmonad comes preconfigured :P
08:05.13gmcastili dont have any & commands
08:05.30gmcastilmy .xinitrc is one line that configures xrandr
08:05.47gnarfacegmcastil: it is true that gnome and kde are the types of projects that usually build in support for this.  it's when you go to light-weight window managers that you end up missing features like multiple-monitor layout configuration support
08:06.16gmcastilit looks like all i actually modified was a) getting rid of the login manager
08:06.25gmcastiland b) giving xinitrc the right thing to run
08:06.35gmcastilwas there something else I changed?
08:06.50gnarfacenope
08:07.10gnarfaceand probably a) was not strictly necessary, i just don't remember how to disable an installed login manager cleanly
08:08.45gnarfacesomeone earlier suggested a debian/devuan specific 'update-alternatives' command that should have worked too.  but it would have been a system-wide change of default, not something that can be set per-user without root permission like the ~/.xinitrc.
08:09.06gnarfacethere's a lot of different approaches here

08:11.31gnarfacei'll pastebin what i typed
08:11.46gnarfacegmcastil_: in case you missed it: http://paste.debian.net/926816/
08:12.05gnarfacethat was what i responded with after you said "was there something else I changed?"
08:12.07DocScrutinizer05the good news: no patches needed, kernel already supports adding a module with SysRQ key events handler. Just a question which key to use for 'compose key', and how and where to tell kernel about N900 not having a sysreq key and reassign the F6+F7 aka vol+ + vol- key combo for alt+sysreq
08:12.17gmcastil_yeah, i think my router has a hardwar problem - i get randomly dcd in a way that requires a power cycle of the machine
08:14.07gnarfacehmm, that's disturbing
08:14.54buZzsame here :P the psu of my router is getting a lot of voltage drops
08:15.03buZzi need to replace it with a higher amp model
08:15.09buZzor just replace the router, i guess
08:15.31DocScrutinizer05buZz: wallwart PSU?
08:15.46DocScrutinizer05or internal
08:15.52buZzyeah the former
08:16.05DocScrutinizer05swap it, odds are it's borked
08:16.07gmcastil_buZz: yeah, it just randomly drops the connection and wont restore it - its consistent with different network cards and OS
08:16.48gmcastil_I've eliminated everythign but the router...ISP says that since I'm not runing windows they cant help me and sya its a software problem
08:17.14gmcastil_least of my problems now thuogh
08:21.22DocScrutinizer05buZz: a universal PSU (with voltage setting and a dozen plug adapters) is great for a few days/weeks of testing
08:23.15DocScrutinizer05buZz: make sure it's a high quality one with electronic regulator, not one of the cheesy cheap ones with heavy transformer and a lside switch that allows selecting 4.5V to 12V but actually that means -20/+80%
08:25.55buZz:)
08:26.01buZzyeah linear psus suck
08:32.15DocScrutinizer05buZz: the laptop charger things are usually quite decent
08:32.33buZzuhuh
08:32.46DocScrutinizer05downside: 5V (USB) and then 12V if you find a nice one, otherwise 15V next
08:33.29DocScrutinizer05if they had a 9V and 12V that would be awesome
08:34.04buZzi'll just check through https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/recommended_routers :)

20:12.23KatolaZit depends on which alias
20:12.46KatolaZbut yes,
20:12.58KatolaZif it's bash, system-wide aliases should go there
20:13.40wulllstKatolaZ: what i'm trying to do is to make any use of the command "alsaplayer" be "alsaplayer -e"
20:14.58wulllstKatolaZ: when i put that into my user-specific .bashrc, PCManFM still calls "alsaplayer" when you open an audio file from there. i think making the alias system-wide should fix that.

20:19.39KatolaZ:)
20:19.41wulllstKatolaZ: right, it's totally logical.

20:43.21golinuxNeither of those DE is something I would want to aspire to.  They both suck IMO.
20:43.25Ponchalelowee[m]: sure we support and sponsor of project libnybris what now the name is Halium
20:43.38wulllstPonchale: i'd like it very much, if LXQt kept being small as opposed to "big", especially in the GNOME sense of the word.
20:43.41Ponchalefind me my user is Ponchale in the group
20:44.28*** part/#devuan Guest1284 (~Guest@83.220.237.215)
20:45.39lowee[m]pretty sure libhybris is still called libhybris :g
20:46.33wulllstDocScrutinizer05: the gnome option has been reported broken.
20:46.57DocScrutinizer05I thought both were too systemd-entangled to work at all
20:47.00Ponchalelowee[m]: look
20:47.02Ponchalehttps://t.me/Libhybris
20:47.10golinuxBTW the astian website looks ridiculous even on a 15" monitor.  I'm on a MONITOR not a mobile device.!!
20:47.12Ponchalethis is group in telegram
20:47.28wulllstDocScrutinizer05: also, there's been a discussion on dropping gnome (for the reason you mention, if i remember right)
20:47.31Ponchaletake easy golinux the website today is update
20:47.41golinuxThe address wasn't understood
20:48.11lowee[m]it's a link for an android app, i meen this libhybris : wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations
20:48.32lowee[m]/libhybris
20:49.13wulllstDocScrutinizer05: i don't know about KDE though. also, if gnome is to systemd-entangled to work on devuan, that is supposedly also an issue with Cinnamon.
20:49.41DocScrutinizer05I just came across distrowatch and wondered
20:49.59golinuxCinnamon is currently a bit broken
20:50.21DocScrutinizer05it's maybe not honest to claim >>Desktop: Cinnamon, GNOME, KDE, LXDE, MATE, Xfce<<
20:50.25wulllstDocScrutinizer05: well, yes, the info is kind of wrong and should be updated when decisions have been made.
20:50.39lowee[m]i run kde just fine on devuan, though kde 4 and without the kdm
20:51.26DocScrutinizer05ok, I can't tell, didn't try. I just recall having heard about both KDE and GNOME have 'issues'
20:51.40DocScrutinizer05without systemd
20:52.30DocScrutinizer05I wish the info on distrowatch was accurate, I don't feel like switching desktop away from KDE
20:52.31wulllstis there any discussion about which desktop environments should or can be supported by devuan, currently?
20:54.14wulllsti mean, it should be made clear at some point.
20:57.26Lydia_KI vote to dump gnome3 and not waste any effort on it, instead putting any effort on that front into mate.
20:57.34Lydia_KI have no idea who if anyone is working on any of that.
20:57.56wulllstLydia_K: sounds reasonable to me.
20:58.14Lydia_K:D
21:00.12Lydia_KLooks like AntoFox is the one handling mate at the moment.
21:00.24golinuxWas just  going to type that

21:05.22Lydia_KI'll have to talk to him about it some time.

21:06.20aitorto her..
21:06.25golinuxantofox
21:06.36wulllsti'd suggest that devuan support these desktop environments: LXDE, LXQt, Mate, Xfce, Trinity and maybe Étoilé, ROX and CDE sometime in the future if possible.
21:07.07Lydia_KI assume him? I thought Antofox was a him, maybe I'm wrong, I dunno.
21:07.36golinuxI'm pretty sure you're right

21:29.41DocScrutinizer05I admit with KDE4 I started hating it somewhat
21:30.18DocScrutinizer05so maybe trinity should be my DE
21:30.36fsmithredyou should try it
21:31.01fsmithredI used to use kde, and trinity looks just like kde to me.
21:31.29Lydia_KI can't stand those "featureful" DEs

21:33.36fsmithredand leaving that job to downstream devs.
21:33.42fsmithredso...
21:33.48greenjeansnothing wrong with openbox girls
21:33.50fsmithred(can you guess where I'm going with this?)
21:34.03fsmithredpick something you'd like to work on.
21:34.11KatolaZand make your own distro
21:34.13fsmithredlooks like lxqt might be taken already.
21:34.19KatolaZ:)
21:34.29fsmithredor make a blend
21:34.33KatolaZyep
21:34.38greenjeansyou should Katolaz
21:34.44fsmithredwe can make blend files until the cows come home

21:34.57KatolaZgreenjeans: ?
21:34.58KatolaZwhat?
21:35.01Lydia_KOk, just one distro..
21:35.06greenjeanslol
21:35.07fsmithredKatolaZ already has done it.
21:35.13aitorsee you tomorrow, time to bed here...

21:35.42KatolaZactually, some of that work wento into the sdk
21:35.43fsmithredwith sound
21:35.56aitor07:11
21:36.27greenjeansoh i know, i was just rolling with what fsmithred was saying, i think everybody should make a blend or two
21:36.39wulllstfsmithred: well, i'll have to think about that. by "support" i just meant making then available as installable packages.
21:37.04greenjeansjust tried Miyolinux's iso and that got me interested in openbox again
21:37.06fsmithredwell, whatever is in debian that doesn't require systemd is already available
21:37.20fsmithredand the ones that do require systemd might be too far gone to save.
21:37.25DocScrutinizer05that's just my point. When they have systemd dependecies, they are not really installable
21:37.37Lydia_KI've been thinking about doing my own grid engine / scientific focused devuan distro, just cause.
21:38.00fsmithredI'll have instructions on using live-sdk posted soon
21:38.08greenjeansyou should Lydia, that sounds interesting
21:38.23KatolaZand for the packagers among you, I am posting now instructions on using d1h
21:38.29KatolaZ:)
21:38.47fsmithredso make your GridLinux in a VM and find all your custom configs.
21:38.52fsmithredand we'll put it in a blend.
21:39.07greenjeansstupid question: can you make hybrid iso's with the live sdk?
21:39.11Lydia_Kok, what's a blend?
21:39.16fsmithredyes, greenjeans
21:39.22Lydia_KI've missed something.
21:39.31fsmithredit's a set of configs and package lists for live-sdk
21:39.37fsmithredwhich automates the build
21:39.43Lydia_KOohhhh, I see!
21:39.46fsmithredkinda like live-build
21:39.48Lydia_KThat's pretty cool.

21:40.13aitorhttp://download.doudoulinux.org/?lang=es

21:40.47fsmithredand plug it into the live-sdk
21:41.04fsmithredso we can make a library of blends
21:41.07wulllstwell, is that "a distro-per-task" idea really a good way to do thing? i doubt that. i always liked the idea that debian called istself a "universal operating system" that could be anything from a server to a media production desktop.

21:41.47Lydia_Kaitor: A distro specifically for little kids? Good idea actually.
21:41.58aitoryes :)
21:42.21aitori have a name for that: bilimbolo
21:42.31greenjeansthe whole idea i think also makes for a very robust development environment for devuan as a whole
21:42.38greenjeansengages a lot more folks
21:42.46golinuxaitor: Still couldn;t play that link.  :(
21:42.46DocScrutinizer05hmmm. I don't say I've thought about that thoroughly, but doesn't that "universal" approach give us systemd-in-everything, even on servers where we for sure don't need SEATS and similar stupid stuff
21:42.55fsmithredgreenjeans, that's the idea
21:42.56Lydia_Kwulllst: It's the same idea, Devuan is the base, a distro is just an instance of Devuan with certain packages installed and certain things pre-configured to work a certain way, i.e. these window managers, these themes, these apps installed, etc.
21:43.10fsmithredlots more devs are needed to do all that needs to be done
21:43.30wulllstLydia_K: i don't see the need of an extra distro for something like that.
21:44.05fsmithredI'm not sure it's a separate distro if it doesn't have its own package repository
21:44.21fsmithredI've always said that Refracta is a pseudo-distro for that reason.
21:44.34furrywolfthat's what I'd call a task, not a distro.
21:44.43greenjeansyeah, i don't see it so much as extra distros, as I do user-remasters, just different flavors
21:44.52Lydia_Kfsmithred: Interesting point, I'm not sure where the line is on defining something as "it's own distro" or not.
21:44.57DocScrutinizer05i'd not call it "distro", rather maybe "flavor"
21:45.05aitorgolinux: it's a ffmpeg, i haven't problems with that in jessie, and i don't use any private software
21:45.08DocScrutinizer05or "theme"
21:45.15fsmithredwell, the argument on the other side is that it's distributed by someone other than devuan (or debian in the past)
21:45.34wulllstLydia_K: i mean, look at the debian/ubuntu based distro choas that is out there already. it just awful, hard to keep track of and making thing unneccessarily confusing for people, especiaqlly those new to linux.
21:45.38greenjeansexactly where i'm at, i don't want to make my own distro, just want to do some re-mixing where there's some usefulness to it

21:50.01RilloBileyworks on mine, won't play on anyone else's
21:51.26wulllstRilloBiley: if lubuntu "works out of the box" for you, fine. when i install an operating system, i take the time to think about what i (don't) want first, then install a base system, then install all the other stuff and then configure that system to my liking.
21:51.59RilloBileyI have tried every flavor of os that caught my attention
21:52.17RilloBileybut my primary concern is justwerkstm
21:52.27furrywolfI want to actually use my computer, not spend time trying OSes.  :)
21:52.36RilloBileyif I wanted manual configuration, I'd have probably gone with slitaz or what some other guy said puppylinux
21:53.20RilloBileydevuan seems like some sort of middle ground between justwerks and arch linux
21:53.35RilloBileythe bulk of the work was done, but there's a bulk of work more which I still have little clue how to do
21:54.03fsmithredRilloBiley, most of the devuan installs I've done have just worked.
21:54.58fsmithredAnd any problems would be the same in debian.
21:55.10DocScrutinizer05and I don't want to do another 2 weeks of customization and config session every 6 months, after OS update/re-installation

21:59.25RilloBileyI have a windows ME machine with RD-RAM. Still works.
21:59.31wulllsti think that instead of encouraging "distro madness" (no offense), devuan should rather promote the idea of being suitable for virtually any common os purpose, if configured right an provide decent docs on how to do that.
21:59.38greenjeansnice rillo
21:59.57aitorbbl
22:00.09greenjeansI still have a pentium 3 lappy with 256 mb ram somewhere, it's running gnome2, lol
22:00.34Lydia_Kwulllst: It has always been my impression that one of the main goals of Devuan was to become a stable "base distro" for other people to build on top of, much like there are *SO* many "distros" that are based on debian.
22:00.41DocScrutinizer05wulllst: AIUI that's exactly the case. Devuan has it all, meta-distros do the blending
22:00.51greenjeansLydia that's my understanding as well
22:01.07Lydia_KThe ecosystem needs a stable base that is systemd-free for others to build atop of.
22:01.42DocScrutinizer05wulllst: you could use devuan and do the blending yourself, or use a pre-made flavour (and still blend to your liking)
22:01.48greenjeansin fact i e-mailed one of the devs before i started fooling around with re-mixing, and he encouraged me to do it wholeheartedly
22:02.24greenjeanslittle did he know i'm a crazy person
22:02.40Lydia_Kgreenjeans: LOL
22:03.03RilloBileybefore devuan, I came from Salix, which I came from from AntiX, which I came from from Lubuntu
22:03.34RilloBileyeach and every os presented problems, except lubuntu
22:03.51DocScrutinizer05ohmy
22:04.09RilloBileybut with lubuntu, you are a slave to canonical and others
22:04.27RilloBileywhere does devuan get it's funds anyway?
22:04.38DocScrutinizer05sounds to me like "neither of the 6 big meals at Mcdonals had exactly my favorite seelction of food"

22:13.07Lydia_KHe's right, this is WAY off the topic of Devuan now
22:13.14Lydia_Kmove it to #debianfork
22:13.18RilloBileythe main stumbling block for me, is that the price of freedom is endless hard work
22:13.25RilloBileyand that's been true for me of debian
22:13.37RilloBileyI wouldn't have come to the irc if I had no problems
22:13.38DocScrutinizer05win7 is full of shit as well. Not the pest that's win10, but still
22:14.25RilloBileyI'm willing to pay the price for my freedom
22:14.35RilloBileybut there are plenty others, my own friends, who I think aren't
22:14.41greenjeansby moving to #debianfork?
22:14.48golinuxPlease move this discussion to #debianfork
22:14.49greenjeans;)
22:14.57golinuxGreat minds!
22:15.07DocScrutinizer05got a win7 box for the inevitable 5 dev apps I need for my EE job, Got me a Huawai mate for installing linux on it. so far it still has win10 and I don't even want to touch it
22:15.18fsmithredRilloBiley, when you get to the library, reboot the terminal with your favorite devuan blend on a usb stick.
22:15.40furrywolffsmithred:  and probably get re-booted from the library if they see you...
22:15.49DocScrutinizer05and yes, this should go to #debianfork
22:15.54greenjeansor take a laptop to the library
22:15.57RilloBileyit happened today fsmithred. "There appears to be a problem with your account. Contact a member of staff."
22:16.19RilloBileyI thought I'd been caught red-handed using an encrypted email service
22:16.45wulllstLydia_K: i just think that "building atop" by creating another distro is not necessarily the best way of doing things and should only be done if there are good reasons. if a system would require major tweaking, like maybe in the use case of a recording studio, then a specialized distro would make sense, coming with a precompiled real-time capable kernel, jack and so on. however, i don't see the need of creating so-called flav
22:17.24RilloBileyI keep being told to drop the conversation, but regarding flavors: "the more, the merrier"
22:17.41RilloBileynow I've come here with problems
22:17.56RilloBileythose problems are proprietary EC (embedded controller) firmware
22:18.06greenjeans@ wulllst : ever paint the walls in your house a different color?
22:18.07RilloBileyI don't even know where on the laptop this chip is
22:18.23Lydia_Kwulllst: It engages people to get involved, to put work in, to build packages, create configs, spread the word in general, these are all good things, and if it's really a meta-distro, that's just a "flavor" or whatever language we want to use, then it's all just Devuan with pre-configured setups.
22:18.58DocScrutinizer05exactly
22:19.01RilloBileyI once tried to change stable to testing and broke my pc
22:19.10RilloBileycouldn't launch openbox or anything
22:19.19DocScrutinizer05RilloBiley: please stop it
22:20.12RilloBileyok then: how do I update my kernel to a newer revision?
22:20.31greenjeansfirst, go to #debianfork
22:20.46greenjeansthen update sources.list
22:20.49RilloBileyisn't that just your off topic channel?
22:20.50greenjeans;)
22:21.05RilloBileylast time I did this with debian it broke everything
22:21.22greenjeansprobably break everything again
22:21.23RilloBileyyou sure this switch to testing is going to work?
22:22.10greenjeansi thought you were complaining about breakage, then you were complaining about stable, pretty soon you're gonna complain about breakage again, i feel it coming....
22:22.49DocScrutinizer05RilloBiley: this is especially to you: please try to keep quotes of experiences and problems with other than devuan out of this channel
22:23.08wulllstgreenjeans: yes, everytime devuan puts out a stable release, currently they are #7a7692
22:23.23RilloBileythis finger wagging also reminds me of ubuntu
22:23.41greenjeanslol wulllst!
22:24.13greenjeansjust saying, flavors are good
22:24.40RilloBileyaccording to https://libreboot.org/faq.html#what-other-firmware-exists-outside-of-libreboot the EC firmware is possibly responsible not only for my non-working laptop fan, but also the reason none of the hotkeys to control volume or brightness work
22:25.11greenjeanswow, i wonder if i can have home depot mix me paint via color hex code?....damn, sorry, getting off-topic again...
22:25.39RilloBileyok for the sake of entertainment I will go and join debian-flavor

22:28.57DocScrutinizer05why would Devuan bother?
22:29.09Lydia_KPersonally I *LOVE* the diversity in the linux ecosystem! I think it's great! There are so many different ideas being experimented with all the time
22:29.44DocScrutinizer05I think I've seen that ages ago, when I thought "Kubuntu? WTF?"
22:29.59Lydia_KIt's one of the reason I think the entire "One linux" "core OS toolkit" philosophy is flawed, it kills that diversity and experimentation.
22:30.01KatolaZwulllst: evolution consists of the parallel exploration of multiple possible paths
