IRC log for #devuan on 20180221

00:06.52Digittrying to upgrade/migrate an old crunchbang (iirc: jessie(?)), but it's getting in a mess with blockages of various held n not wanting to install/uninstall past conflicts...  wondering if i'm missing some more severe rebase command that can scrap the lot n install a base devuan, pushing any packages that complain, out of the way... or might that as well be a full wipe and reinstall?

00:26.19gnarfaceDigit: with apt-get you can try "--fix-broken" or you could try aptitude which tries to think for you and suggest multiple solutions
00:27.36gnarfaceDigit: if you haven't actually corrupted the dependencies (always a possibility when mixing 3rd party repos) then usually you can repair it.  sometimes it requires knowing what needs to be removed first, and what needs to be replaced after removal, and what needs to stay out.
00:29.36Digityeah. no easy pass with --fix-broken.  likely going to be a lot of manual noodling.  i try poking at it some more with aptitude.  but i think it's going to be a mess needing extensive manual intervention and many steps.
00:30.34gnarfaceone thing you could try is a clean minimal install to chroot, then you could compare the package list in there to what you have in the main install so you know what parts aren't part of the base system
00:30.52Digitexcellent suggestion. thnx.
00:31.11gnarfaceno problem
00:31.14Digitthen that makes it seem as easy as just a diff.
00:31.24Digit(i say before actually trying)
00:31.31gnarfaceit's more or less just that, yea
00:32.21gnarfacethen, in theory  you can just uninstall everything but the bare minimum, and start again from there
00:33.02gnarfacesometimes some packages will resist due to broken circular dependencies (that corrupted package tree risk i mentioned earlier) but usually you can still force them out
00:33.18gnarfacei won't lie and say it's not possible to irrecoverably corrupt it though
00:33.22gnarfacethat's a real risk
00:38.24gnarfaceoh
00:38.47gnarfaceDigit: it's probably also worth mentioning that it's very possible a reinstall will be much faster
00:39.53*** join/#devuan Uberius (~Uberius@gateway/tor-sasl/uberius)
00:40.59gnarfaceit kindof depends on how much time you've invested into the initial install and how hard it would be to recreate

00:44.32Digitlonger time might be preferable, to me causing some breakage during a complete reinstall, to that machine's windozes.  if it were my machine, i'd take that risk (actually, if it were mine, windoze wud be gone), but since it's someone else's, they'd not appreciate me playing fast n loose with their not-backed-up windozes.  but that's more an issue of my own confidence (& inexperience) around modern dual boots.
00:52.57gnarfaceif that's the case it might be worth the time to make a full disk image backup first
00:53.07gnarface(assuming you have some place to put it)

01:14.51Digiti think i made it harder for myself being brash trying to force it to jump too many fences at once first.  in hindsight, perhaps should have done incremental upgrade/upgrade/migrate/upgrade (or whatever it is/was/wouldaBeen).

01:49.00Digiti realise i have only jumped to ascii (thank goodness i didnt actually go straight to ceres last night with that crazy idea before bed).  probably should have first made sure it had been upgraded within that jessie or whatever it was on.  oh well, it's all in good fun.  i am finding /some/ progress getting past blockages, with /bold/ maneuvers.  if i break everything, i break everything.  it's fun to poke distros hard.  :)
01:51.40Digitbut maybe this is a bit brash, lol.  just adding whatever apt complains about in one command to a severe "get rid of it then" command next... http://dpaste.com/310T52Q ... oh well, it got things moving.  it keeps getting stumped by the adobe flash, the one piece of proprietary lingering on it.

02:13.20gnarfacei would honestly just ditch flash too
02:13.28gnarfacebut there's only one file from it you really need
02:13.32gnarfaceit doesn't need to be packaged
02:13.40gnarfaceyou can just copy it into your mozilla plugins directory
02:14.04gnarfaceif that's the only conflict left, that's an easy one to resolve
02:15.15blopsurprised folks still need it
02:17.32Digityeah reading about ceres, it's a lil daunting that there'd potentially be *systemd* seapage.  surely a lil package block here n there, n it wont get in, n things will just have to update around it as and when they can.

02:19.27blopwhich make the term 'leader' a bit ironic
02:20.33gnarfaceyes well in the US we've spent decades marginalizing expertise and intelligence starting at a young age while going through abnormal lengths to protect the fragile egos of the stupid and the violent

02:45.24gnarfacei've dialed it down to about half an hour

02:53.56gnarfacei wasn't citing "half an hour" as some sort of record time i was trying to impress anyone with
02:54.32gnarfacemore of a figure of encouragement that anyone could casually keep within, barring network/hardware failure or user error

03:15.48Digitoh, looks like i managed to get things dislodged.  this adventure crunchbang statler to devuan ascii is not over yet.
03:17.55gnarfacei can't really help with specifics, as i don't know crunchbang, but i vaguely recall seeing this cause problems for other people too, prior to the existance of devuan
03:18.09gnarfacecrunchbang is a debian derivative like devuan
03:18.25gnarfaceunlike devuan they seem to do a bad job of warning people that it is NOT debian
03:18.28Digitis/was.  yeah.
03:18.58gnarfaceso sometimes upgrades or other procedures that WOULD have or SHOULD have worked starting with an actual debian, *won't* with crunchbang
03:19.12*** join/#devuan bman_ (~bman@2605:6000:1018:421f::1005)
03:19.40Digitdevuan is more not debian (or more debian, since debian are the splitterds), than crunchbang ever was.  twas mostly just a debian respin.
03:20.02Digitnice preconfiguration went the distance.
03:20.16gnarfacesometimes the fix is a really simple and glaringly stupid but usually also poorly documented and known by nearly nobody
03:21.06gnarfacebecause yea they're usually very similar but the problem comes down to some difference between the use of = or >= in the dependency headers
03:21.20gnarfacesomething tiny that just cascades into a huge package tree tangle
03:21.55gnarfaceif i were to start over with my own distro i'd design the package dependency mechanisms to be simpler in an effort to hopefully be more resilient to this type of corruption
03:22.57gnarfacei think at the time they were intended to be fast and nobody expected anyone to ever re-use the system outside of Debian

03:35.57Digitheh, the adventure continues.  bumpy road.  after some progress (including getting rid of flash), i've got it to a state where two problem packages, if i try remove, it says it wants to remove bash and dash n such.  well... there's some levels of package removal severity i'm unwilling to say yes to.  n_n
03:38.31gnarfaceDigit: look at the versions, then compare them to packages.debian.org or ask "aptitude why [package name]" or uh... "apt-cache depends [package name]" i think
03:39.25Digitthnx for the tip.  will do, after taking a break from it for a little while.
03:39.31gnarfaceDigit: i'm guessing the reason is they and/or some of their immediate dependencies are actually from the crunchbang repo and have some minor version mismatch with the debian/devuan ones
03:40.00gnarfaceDigit: in theory it should be possible to isolate those and just force the reinstall of the right version
03:40.38gnarfacebut it will require manual intervention
03:40.57gnarfaceand heh, yea if it's your shell itself, you can't just remove it
03:41.17gnarfacewell, you could migrate to another shell, then remove it, but that is a nightmare
03:42.15gnarfacewhat might be better would be to try it from a live image, chrooted
03:42.26gnarfaceso that way if you hose it you still have a working environment
03:47.42XenguyMix repos, and beware
03:48.00XenguyIt's an invitation for chaos

05:23.12Digiti suppose i'm a human, not a kicking.
05:23.12golinuxI am having trouble upgrading my jessie.
05:23.47NewGnuGuyHave you tried turning it off and on again? :-P
05:24.45golinuxNo.   But I rebooted this morning trying to troubleshoot my connection - it was a network outage for several hours

05:25.30golinux/usr/bin/cpp-4.9': Device or resource busy
05:26.01golinuxHeck, I don't even know what those packages are related to.
05:26.42NewGnuGuy<PROTECTED>
05:27.00golinuxWould that be part of git?
05:27.36golinuxI have never complied a pkg on this system
05:28.52golinuxOr really used git.  KatolaZ gave me a git lesson in hopes that I would take to it.
05:29.34golinuxSo how do I unbusy what ever is the problem?
05:29.40NewGnuGuyI'm moderate to advanced when it comes to git.
05:30.04golinuxTBH, I haven't even looked at it since that lesson.
05:30.31golinuxdoes git install nginx?
05:30.51NewGnuGuyno
05:30.58golinuxBecause it keeps starting and I have to kill it.
05:31.06golinuxIt's a pain
05:31.44golinuxI though it was part of git.  I need to run an rdepends.  Give me a sec
05:32.08golinuxI want to get rid of this stuff I'm probably never going to use

13:26.12blopalright i don't really need a .deb
13:30.47JotaMGlet me explain, I hate to engage with things that after I discover I'm unable to do well.
13:30.49JotaMGSo is good to have an idea in advance what is needed for that tasks, what to expect, etc., so I can judge if I can keep up, since my free time is limited.
13:30.50JotaMGSo, if Devuan cannot make that necessary "learning process" the easier as possible, unfortunately I will have to pass!
13:31.39fsmithredJotaMG, there is a developers manual in the works. That should help, once it's done.
13:32.06JotaMGok that's great!
13:32.39fsmithredcheck dng mailing list. It's been very active lately, with several new people taking up packages.
13:33.27JotaMGwhat is "dng mailing list" ?
13:34.11fsmithredDebian's Not Gnome - it evolved into a devuan mailing list.
13:34.54FatPhilI think I'm going stupid. Can't partition my HD in the installer. It offers me FAT16, Fat32, swap, physocal volume for encryption, physical volume for RAID, physical volume for LVM, and do not use this partition. Where's "ext4 file system"?
13:35.01fsmithredhttps://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
13:35.35fsmithredFatPhil, it should be at the top of that list. Which iso are you using?
13:36.06FatPhilfsmithred: some random USB install stick I downloaded yonks ago
13:36.43fsmithredwell, ascii beta isos were released last week. Maybe you'd like to use one of those. Sounds like you got a jessie beta.
13:37.04FatPhilI want to jessie, I'm a stable kind of guy
13:37.34fsmithredok, so get a jessie stable iso. What you report sounds like a problem that was in one of the betas.
13:38.01FatPhilweird, as I did install a sytem using it in the past. But I'll grab a newer one.

17:11.37karl79Hey guys, I've got this really weird bug that I'm having trouble identifying, while playing emulator games my system will suddenly out of nowhere just start to lag like hell. Its an old netbook, I just use it to play videos & old emulator games like nintendo 64, sega, gameboy etc. I thought it was something to do with the I/O scheduler but it would appear I may be wrong about that. I have tried every I/O scheduler I have
17:11.37karl79, cfq, and yet it still does this... I've tried kernel 4.9, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15...
17:12.00karl79I think it might be something to do with the i915 driver but I don't know....
17:14.37karl79I disabled the I/O schedulers completely by adding scsi_mod.use_blk_mq=1 on kernel 4.9, does anyone know how I can disable the I/O schedulers with the proper command & not the MQ I/O scheduler kernel parameter?

17:58.13chillfanThat's a lot of spam though
18:00.05iodevit's just silly, I for one am against this type of "publicity", it's just the same as joining ##windows and spamming "Linux! Linux!" and it won't do anything
18:01.04blinkdogI don't think anyone involved with Devuan in an official capacity would endorse IRC spamming.
18:01.15daxis it the same as assuming that a channel mentioned in spam messages is responsible for the spam, then joining it and complaining
18:01.39blinkdogI'll bring it up at the developer meeting, but likely it's just a troll looking to create backlash upon Devuan.
18:01.40daxbecause considering all the impersonation spam on IRC over the past year, there's a very good chance that doing that is just giving the spammer what he wants

18:21.34fsmithredshouldn't be needed, but won't hurt if it's there
18:21.53fsmithredalso, the pam-auth-update isn't really needed. They can all be checked.
18:21.54onekkthe lightdm login screen is not working, the openbox is working now after following some istruction foound on forum
18:22.06fsmithredhow?
18:22.36fsmithredlxpanel? tint? somthing else?
18:23.05fsmithredyou edited menu.xml?
18:23.20onekkfor the logout i use the "stock" MiYolinux dialog "probably from bunsenlabs

19:25.28karl79I don't know which bug... that's the problem.
19:25.34KatolaZ-_-
19:25.52karl79I just don't know what it is doing this :/ sorry. i'll try to explain to you what its doing to the best of my abilities
19:26.23karl79whenever I'm playing my emulator games, after 5 to even up to 30 minutes it starts to lag really really bad
19:26.48karl79Be it on MGBA(gameboy), nintendo 64(mupen64plus), or snes9x or anything else
19:27.01karl79I THINK it has something to do with the IO schedulers but I just don't know :/
19:27.19buZzno IO scheduler would do that
19:27.27KatolaZkarl79: improbable
19:27.31buZzits most probably inefficient cooling
19:27.36KatolaZnamely
19:27.42karl79um no definitely not about cooling
19:27.48KatolaZit's just that your CPU get throttled
19:27.50*** join/#devuan inhetep (inhetep@gateway/vpn/privateinternetaccess/inhetep)
19:27.51buZztotally sounds like it
19:27.53karl79no
19:27.57karl79its not the CPU being throttled!
19:27.57buZzyeah it does
19:28.03KatolaZkarl79: acpi -V
19:28.05karl79that's not what's causing this...
19:28.07KatolaZwhen it happens
19:28.19karl79acpi command not found
19:28.45karl79its not cooling I know that for sure
19:28.54KatolaZapt-get install acpi
19:28.55karl79these games are very lightweight too
19:29.05buZzemulation isnt lightweight
19:29.06KatolaZkarl79: no matter how "light" the game is
19:29.08buZzits cpu heavy
19:29.12KatolaZemulation is heavy on the CPU
19:29.18KatolaZfull of active waits
19:29.19karl79gameboy emulation isn't heavy...
19:29.28buZz-GBA- isnt GB

19:29.39KatolaZagain karl79
19:29.40karl79well I'm playing a GB game so...
19:29.43KatolaZyou asked a question
19:29.45buZzwhat cpu is in that netbook?
19:29.47KatolaZI proposed an answer :)
19:29.49buZzGB is a Z80
19:29.53buZzGBA is a ARM7TDMI
19:29.54karl79its an intel N270 atom
19:29.58buZzwow
19:29.59KatolaZwhen it happens, just
19:30.01KatolaZacpi -V
19:30.03karl79it used to work just fine
19:30.08KatolaZand look at the temperature of your CPU
19:30.15buZzthats a -10- year old CPU
19:30.15buZz:D
19:30.19buZzthe N270
19:30.26karl79So??
19:30.34KatolaZthe age does not matter
19:30.35buZzjust impressive :)
19:30.38karl79the game emulators are from consoles from the 90s...
19:30.49KatolaZkarl79: game emulators work with active waits
19:30.52karl79i used to be able to play these games just fine
19:30.54KatolaZ(most of them)
19:31.02KatolaZok
19:31.12KatolaZmy advice is: acpi -V
19:31.16KatolaZstat from there
19:31.19karl79I did that
19:31.25KatolaZif the CPU is cool, then look for ghosts elsewhere
19:31.26karl79one sec ill psot it to pastebin
19:31.32karl79ghosts?
19:31.38KatolaZ(bugs)
19:32.00karl79how could it be the CPU if i can exit the game and then re-open it and its fine?

19:33.16buZzis this during running the emulator?
19:33.20karl79yes
19:33.31buZzimho thats very hot
19:33.38buZzdid you clean the fans recently?
19:33.38KatolaZit's quite hot
19:33.38karl79it gets as high as 75 degrees
19:33.44KatolaZnot "very"

19:33.53KatolaZbbl
19:33.54KatolaZo/
19:33.55buZzit wont ventilate on your bed
19:33.58karl79its not the temp tho,i  can exit it and re-open it
19:34.06buZzcan you try it on a desk? :)
19:34.08karl79yes
19:34.11karl79and it still happens
19:34.26buZzstill 75C?
19:34.38karl79when I go to my doctors appts i sit it on this little desk and it still screws up
19:34.47karl79no, it usually goes as high as 40 or 50 C
19:35.02karl79its an intel ATOM netbook, they just heat up... that's how its always been
19:35.31karl79i used to be able to play games just fine but now im not
19:35.43karl79this thing is really clean so idk why it would do that... it doesnt even have a fan in it either.
19:36.00buZzand if you reinstall the software you ahd back then?
19:36.01karl79I can re-open the game after it goes all laggy and then its fine again

19:38.29karl79well I didn't make a backup

20:02.11karl79I'm fairly certain its integrated. It has to be, its a netbook. its all one board... even the lspci -nnk shows a bunch of stuff that says "integrated" so..
20:02.34karl79Its a Dell Inspiron Mini 1011
20:03.23karl79and it if was just over-heating then why would it do that when I have it on a flat cold surface? makes no sense. I have a temperature monitor in the top corner too.
20:05.51Leanderbecause it's ten years old and something is spoiled in the cooling mechanism, and the temperature of the CPU does not reflect the temperature of every other component
20:06.11karl79huh i wonder if this is relevant or not..

20:06.54karl79it being 10 years old isn't relevant to this problem, there's nothing wrong with the cooling mechanism, this bug is NOT about the cooling.
20:07.21karl79if it was because it was getting hot, then why can i re-open the game right after & its fine again?
20:11.07LeanderI've seen very weird things happen over the years, so I wouldn't rule out a simple problem like that
20:11.27Leanderbut if you want to pursue another lead, it's fine
