00:31.28msii've just upgrated from to ascii and there are quite some problems now.
00:32.10golinuxDid you get the newest key first?
00:32.41msigolinux: i don't think this is about a repo key.
00:32.48*** join/#devuan Stealth (stealth@sourcemage/archon/stealth)
00:32.57golinuxI assume you meant from jessie to ascii
00:33.03msiwhen i start X (using startx), the whole thing feezes up.
00:33.22msigolinux: yes, sorry. that's correct.
00:34.00msii can currently only do anything through the command line
00:34.00golinuxThere is stuuf on the forum about frozen X iirc
00:34.14debdogmsi: freezes up as in black screen and no abvious reaction to input?
00:34.22msiwhich is why i'm writing this from irssi
00:34.30golinuxThis is not a new issue
00:34.33msidebdog: no obvious reaction to input.
00:34.47msidebdog: but the system doesn't seem to freeze completely
00:35.20msii can still see my monitoring panel detecting network activity (moving/blinking things)
00:35.37msiso, it doesn't just completely hang up, as far as i can see.
00:36.08msibut, i can't switch to another tty from X anymore. the only thing i can do is hit the power or reset button.
00:36.36debdogare you able to switch to some tty from that stae? like ctrl-alt-F1 or -F7?
00:36.42debdogoh
00:36.46msidebdog: nope...
00:37.00xrogaanMake sure you have the right polkit packages.
00:37.10debdogright, what xrogaan
00:37.12debdogsaid
00:37.25msixrogaan: polkit? why does this have to do anything with polkit?
00:37.39debdogit's complicated :P
00:37.45xrogaanbecause it's necessary to start a session.
00:38.00xrogaanand if it can't start the polkit thingy, it'll wait forever
00:38.03debdog(I don't get it myself but has something to do with xorg and secruity)
00:38.06msixrogaan: i don't have session management, afaik.
00:38.40msixrogaan: i just use openbox plus an instance of dbus.
00:38.45xrogaanno diplay manager?
00:39.09msino
00:39.14msijust startx
00:39.16KatolaZmsi: are you starting X from startx?
00:39.21msiyes
00:39.32debdogmayhap xorg.0.log can shed some light on it
00:39.38KatolaZmsi: you have to seet a config
00:39.40KatolaZhold on
00:39.41xrogaanwhat is in the Xorg.0.log && .xsession-error?
00:39.50msiwith "exec dbus-launch --exec-with-session openbox-session"
00:40.09msi(openbox-session not being any kind of session, btw)
00:40.16KatolaZmsi: add "needs_root_rights=yes" in /etc/X11/Xwrapper.conf
00:40.20msixrogaan: let me see
00:40.43msiKatolaZ: ok, i'll do that.
00:41.17msiKatolaZ: but then i'm running X as root, which i thought i wouldn't have to do anymore...
00:42.01KatolaZmsi: ask fsmithred
00:42.27fsmithredmsi, add libpam-elogind to run X as user
00:42.55msifsmithred: but i would have to use a login manager then, wouldn't i?
00:43.02fsmithred<PROTECTED>
00:43.06fsmithredstartx
00:43.13msiok
00:44.23msiinstalled that, will try to run X now, might freeze, let's see. thanks so far.
00:45.40xrogaanI can't start a DE until auth.log gets dbus[1877]: [system] Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit': timed out
00:46.25xrogaanCan't login from tty either, I have to wait. I still don't know why it times out.
00:46.52fsmithredxrogaan, which DE and DM?
00:47.03xrogaanany
00:47.08xrogaanI can't login from tty either.
00:47.25xrogaanI can't get into the system until the consolekit stuff times out.
00:47.44fsmithredis consolekit installed?
00:47.51*** join/#devuan msiism (~devdoc@mue-88-130-48-139.dsl.tropolys.de)
00:48.03xrogaanIt may be because of a misconfiguration somewhere, but I don't know what to verify / reinstall.
00:48.15msiismok, it froze again.
00:48.24xrogaanyeah, consolekit is working properly after that, it's the dbus thing that shits the fan.
00:48.28msiismKatolaZ: ould you give me that line again for Xwrapper?
00:48.37KatolaZmsi: add "needs_root_rights=yes" in /etc/X11/Xwrapper.conf

00:50.55xrogaanthe 5 minutes between is me grabbing coffee :p
00:51.03fsmithredyeah, I believed you. I don't know what any of that means.
00:51.34fsmithredthat's worse than the 30-second delay on shutting down encrypted systems
00:51.55*** join/#devuan Stealth (stealth@sourcemage/archon/stealth)
00:52.14fsmithred5 minute delay makes me think you're running systemd. It loves those 5-min delays.
00:52.50xrogaanAh, no, the delay is usually under a minute.
00:53.46fsmithredwell, find the file that has the timeout and change it
00:54.20xrogaanI'd rather fix the service stuff.
00:54.24msiismok, running the X server with root rights works! (though my cursor theme is not correct. might just stay on the cli because of that (joke))
00:54.54msiismback in a bit...

00:58.30msiismok, is there a central "caveats when upgrading to ascii" document (i should really  know...)? i feel like i would like to contribute to that.
00:59.37gnarfacethe biggest one is just that there seems to be some dependency loops that need to be broken to complete the upgrade process
01:00.07gnarfacealso eudev is the default instead of udev but i haven't noticed any difference in it's behavior yet (other than the aforementioned dependency loop)
01:00.59msiismwell, i'm getting some (e)udev-related error message at boot, as well as complaints about eth0 and things.
01:03.00gnarfacei'm gonna need to see the messages to have any chance of telling you more about them
01:04.15msiismright. well, i don't wanna work that out right now, since it's really late where i am. i just wanted to see if there's a central place for documentaing these issues and how to fix them already.
01:05.23gnarfaceoh, i think there is a thread on the forums but i don't know the link
01:05.29gnarfacesorry
01:05.47gnarfacei mean, i know the link to the forums, but not to the specific thread
01:06.26gnarfacethere seems to be a couple variations, maybe based on whether the install was upgraded from a debian install at some point in it's history or not
01:06.31xrogaanstupid question: why aren't the forums under the devuan brand name?
01:07.23xrogaanit'll probably help with people googling
01:07.39gnarfacexrogaan: as near as i can understand it, it's simply because someone donated a finished forum along with the domain it was hosted at, at an early point in the project when it saved a lot of other people's time to do so

01:08.45gnarfacei agree that it confuses the branding issue and opens the doors for imposters
01:10.23gnarfacexrogaan: and it's not a stupid question.  in fact, it's a litmus test for people smart enough to be concerned about it
01:11.50xrogaanI'm not smart, I just find the name "dev1galaxy" to be silly.
01:12.20gnarfaceeh, it could be worse
01:14.24gnarfacealso, i'm sorry to inform you that the capacity to question your own intelligence is in itself a dead giveaway for intelligence
01:14.46gnarfacemost stupid people think they really know what's going on

01:30.57xrogaanoh, seamonkey is still a thing.
01:39.18xrogaanis /etc/dbus-1/system.d part of the systemd thing or something normal for dbus?
01:41.52fsmithred<PROTECTED>
01:42.16fsmithredthose should be the ones that the admin can change and they won't get clobbered on upgrade
01:42.20xrogaanconsolekit does come with some systemd garbage.
01:42.21fsmithredthat's the theory, anyway

01:46.46bozoniusis CERTAIN he does not know what is going on
01:47.01xrogaanI don't know what I'm looking for.
01:47.18bozoniusI had a usb hub die on me
01:47.32bozoniusit is still not working.  Luckily, other ports are still working
01:47.38rrqmany packages has droppings into /etc/dbus-1/system.d/
01:47.44rrqhave
01:47.47bozonius(different distro, different machine)
01:48.06bozoniusprob I need to clean the port with some compressed air.
01:48.35fsmithredsometimes they get loose
01:49.09fsmithreddoes it work sometimes?
01:49.11xrogaanoh
01:49.35xrogaanCould it be that Xsession is being used by slim, but because there is no actual session ConsoleKit can't start?
01:49.54xrogaancan't start for slim, that is.
01:50.12xrogaanCould it be that simple?
01:50.43bozoniuscould be.  But about a year ago, I thought one of my disks was dying.  Got numerous hard errors from the disk driver in kernel logs.  So I spent over $200 on some new drives.  But when I moved it from one bay to another, it worked again, flawlessly.  So I got to googling, and it seems the connectors can get a layer of residue and they advised simply cleaning the connectors.
01:51.10bozoniusSo I did that, and voila! all was good again.  Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with all the new drives I bought.
01:51.23xrogaanSend them to me. :>
01:51.28bozonius:)
01:51.49bozoniusMaybe I should donate them to a Linux project somewhere, or at least make the space available.
01:52.15xrogaanlaunch another sdf.eu
01:52.25xrogaannevermind that
01:52.27xrogaanwait
01:52.38xrogaanit's sdf-eu.org
01:52.44bozoniuswhat is it?
01:53.12xrogaanSuper Dimension Fortress EU
01:53.19bozoniusgaming site?
01:53.53xrogaani'll quote you the website `We are a networked community of free software authors, teachers, students, researchers, hobbyists, enthusiasts and the blind. The SDF-EU is supported by its members and is an independent subsidiary of the non-profit SDF Public Access UNIX System. `
01:54.21xrogaanbasically, UNIX for all.
01:54.25bozoniusoh
01:54.27bozoniusanime
01:54.49xrogaan... No?
01:55.19bozoniuswiki says it is an anime tv series from 1982
01:55.41bozoniusxrogaan:  I am leery of links people post
01:55.51xrogaanWell keep being wrong then.
01:55.55bozoniusok
01:55.58bozoniusfair enough
01:56.31bozoniusfsmithred:  I did not notice it being loose, but I did try and re-try the port.  The log show an error.
01:56.37bozonius*logs
01:57.00xrogaan(sdf.eu was a wrong link, no idea what that is but it looks weird)
01:57.50bozoniusI googled the error and I read a few entries, and someone said that it can be an old mainboard starting to go.  Anothr said reboot will fix it.  Maybe need a cold boot.
01:58.29bozoniusI just rebooted a few days ago for  kernel update on the host where I run vbox
01:58.45bozoniusso I'd like to avoid that again.
01:59.16bozoniusbtw, it was during testing ascii that (maybe coincidentally, idk) my whole system froze up, host and VMs
01:59.26bozoniusnot pointing a finger, but it was odd
01:59.57bozoniusthe host had been up for over a month prior, and I only warm booted for the kernel update
02:00.05bozoniusthis was before the usb error/failure
02:00.22bozoniusUncle Google sure knows a lot of stuff!
02:03.34fsmithredI wouldn't expect a loose port to cause errors, but it will cause repeated connect/disconnect if you wiggle a thumb drive in it
02:03.53fsmithredtail -f /var/log/messages
02:05.54bozoniusActually, this happened about 20 hours ago.  So I think grep might be better
02:06.15bozoniusor are you suggesting I wiggle a usb device in the "dead" port? and  then view the logs?
02:06.21fsmithredwatch messages in real time when you wiggle your stick
02:06.26bozoniusah
02:06.43bozoniusit's a pain because it's in back of the machine.
02:07.20bozoniusso it will be hard to see this truly in real time, but I don't have a noisy messages log, thankfully
02:08.08fsmithredif the port hasn't been used a lot, that's probably not the issue
02:09.24bozoniusthat port had the usb kb for months
02:09.31bozoniusno issues I can tell
02:10.22bozoniusso wiggling it in that port does not generate interrupts in the log
02:10.32bozonius*messages
02:11.50bozoniusthe port next to it (vertically) still works.  I am charging my phone right now
02:12.03bozoniuslike it is just that ONE port
02:12.11bozoniusI expect it to die, at least in pairs
02:13.07bozoniusthis mainboard is about 7 years old.
02:13.17bozoniusI've not had issues with it.
02:13.21fsmithredyou tried cleaning it?
02:13.42bozoniusthe port or the whole board?
02:13.48fsmithredport
02:13.49bozoniusnot yet
02:13.54bozoniusok hold on
02:13.54fsmithredhow do you clean a whole board?
02:14.04fsmithredoh, air
02:14.05bozoniuswith a few blasts of compressed air
02:14.08bozoniusyeah, that stuff
02:14.14fsmithrednot dishwasher?
02:14.20xrogaanBleach maybe?
02:14.56bozoniushaven't tried dishwasher yet, but I HAVE had a few boards that could have used such thorough cleaning
02:14.57fsmithredwon't that corrode the metal?
02:15.21bozoniusI find the 3 foot drop test works wonders for bad boards
02:15.42bozoniusit doesn't make them work better, but it sure makes me FEEL better
02:16.01fsmithredI fixed a hard drive once by whacking it firmly against the floor
02:16.14bozoniusok, it is not really a "drop" test
02:16.32bozoniusmore like something you'd see at WWE or truck pull
02:16.56fsmithreddrop therapy

02:17.44bozoniusI don't own firearms
02:17.54fsmithredprobably can't rent them, either
02:18.02bozoniusbut I know some  folks who do
02:18.06bozoniusnot for that, no
02:19.11bozoniusone time, I was living on the 14th floor of a tall building and I was having a hard time with one very uncooperative computer.
02:19.20bozoniusthere were no screens in the windows.
02:19.53bozoniusthere was a low roof at the first and second floor only.
02:20.10bozoniusand it looked like some other people had done the same, so...
02:21.52bozoniusIt really worked, fsmithred.  it was the last time I ever had any problems with that machine.

02:53.30xrogaanand then tears.
02:53.39furrywolfcare to explain the derivation of this term?  lacto is pretty universally milk-related...
02:54.52fsmithredshould be lacrima
02:55.18fsmithredfor tears
02:58.41furrywolfjust say "percussive maintenance" like everyone else.  :)

04:08.35bozoniusI asked a headhunter once if she could get me a job where they MAKE the problems.  She just laughed.

04:08.47bozoniusyeah, as if she doesn't know of such places.
04:09.03bozoniusthat was probably before 2010 or so, xenguy?
04:09.18XenguyOh certainly

04:53.29bozoniusstill not getting ekiga echo test to work.  I hear the recording, and I can see that ekiga recognizes my input (voice) but it does not echo my voice.
04:53.40bozoniuskeep in mind this is ascii using USB headset
04:53.50bozoniusand that the headset absolutely does work
04:54.06gnarfaceyou may be facing a basic misunderstanding of expected behavior
04:54.10bozonius(I have used it in duolingo, and a few online web mic test pages)
04:54.19bozoniusok
04:54.21gnarfaceyou wouldn't, by default, hear your own voice echoed during recording
04:54.31bozoniusekiga echo test?
04:54.45bozoniusmaybe you are right.
04:54.59bozoniusmaybe I fail to understand what I should expect.
04:55.10gnarfaceit's at the ALSA level.  if you go into alsamixer, you'll no doubt see your mic has a volume meter in both the playback AND recording tab; those aren't the same volume meter.  one is for "echoing" the other is for recording.  you can do either separately
04:55.33gnarfaceso try ekiga with two clients
04:55.41gnarfacemaybe the other client will hear you even if you can't hear yourself
04:55.42bozoniusah!  so that's what those are for.  ol' bozonius didn't realize this.
04:55.44gnarfacethat's what i'm saying
04:56.22bozoniusand ekiga does not need apulse? or does it?
04:56.28gnarfaceno idea, honestly
04:56.52gnarfacemost things don't, but sometimes pulse allows you do to it without understanding the alsa config script syntax
04:57.38bozoniuslooks like both mics are on and way up
04:57.47gnarfaceoh hmm
04:57.56gnarfaceon the playback tab look for a "loopback mixing" option and turn it on

04:58.34bozoniusthis headset apparently has only 3 controls
04:58.49gnarfaceyou're sure you've got alsamixer pointing at the right device, right?  alsamixer -c [num]
04:58.50bozoniusoutput:  headphone and mic, input:  mic
04:58.56bozoniusoh yeah
04:59.00gnarfaceoh, and if you're running pulseaudio, it'll intercept everything and you have to do it through pavucontrol instead
04:59.01gnarfacejust fyi
04:59.17bozoniusit even shows me it is the headset I am twiddling with.  The other card has zillions of controls...
04:59.33bozoniusno pulse here.  No systemd here.
04:59.41bozoniusthis is a poetter-free zone
04:59.58bozoniusit has been depoettered
05:00.07gnarfacetry testing with arecord | aplay
05:00.14bozoniusI did.  It works
05:00.18gnarfaceoh
05:00.36gnarfacealso, actually if the playback mic is unmuted, and it's selected as an input, you should just hear your voice automatically
05:00.37bozoniusI can hear the lady's voice when the echo test starts.  I have to listen to 20 secs of that every time I test
05:00.57bozoniusunmuted, yes
05:01.02bozoniusall 3 are unmuted
05:01.23gnarfacehit the spacebar on everything
05:01.29bozoniusok
05:01.35gnarfacedo you have to maybe set one as the capture device with spacebar?
05:01.59gnarfaceunfortunately this gets into stuff i can't predict because i'm not familiar with the particular device; that alsamixer interface is dynamically generated
05:02.04bozoniusthe input mic has capture on -- certainly I dont want to disable that
05:02.38gnarfaceis there a capture select option where if you hit the up/down buttons you see line-in, mic, etc?
05:02.44gnarfacesometimes you have to pair them up
05:02.48gnarfacemy onboard card is like that
05:02.50bozoniuswell, unless there is a way to add more controls through alsamixer, I've got 3 controls
05:03.17bozoniusselect sound card F6  I don't see any other "select"
05:03.41xrogaanis there a reliable way to select a default DE with slim? By default, it falls back to xfce
05:04.21gnarfacebozonius: maybe ask in #alsa
05:04.33bozoniusok, thanks gnarface.  will do
05:04.34gnarfacexrogaan: sorry don't know, i don't use slim
05:04.38gnarfacewanders away again
05:04.47bozoniusgoes to #alsa to tell THEM his troubles...
05:05.08xrogaanwe can easily customize slim, but darn it's config file is as slim as it looks

13:29.07EHeMOne thing which would help Devuan (and Debian) a great deal would be to add a policy that given the choice between linking with libmysqlclient18, libpg5, and libodbc1, they shall link with libodbc1; this leaves the choice of backend to the person installing.
13:30.31EHeMEncouraging patching to take advantage of libtool (and then passing those patches upstream) for all optional libraries would be golden.
13:32.08EHeMMy estimate is three-fourths of the libraries installed on this system are required because packages need them for extra functionality I don't use (others may use, so using dlopen()/dlsym() is the best choice).

17:52.55WaspHi, I try to install devuan on sdc1. Before I already had deepin linux in the same place. I went through the GUI installation process, where I also formated sdc1 (just to get poissble coflicts out of the way) but in the end I run into the problem that the installer couldn't install grub
17:53.34Waspso i am in the GUI rescue mode and tried it by hand and run into the same issue eventhough i am not sure what is wrong
17:55.04msiismdejdo: well, if it's auto-loaded then you should be fine passing kernel parameters to the respective kernel entry in grub, i guess.
17:55.52Waspso I tried update-grub (or grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/.cfg) and grub-probe says: "error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdj1. Check your device map". I Don't have such a file -- in fact I suspected grub to create it. Moreover I wonder what grub is doing with my sdj1
17:56.40Waspalso found unknown linux distribution on sdf2 and sdg2 -- I disagree
17:58.25msiismWasp: that's a whole lot of sd's. how many hard drives does that machine have?
17:58.48msiismWasp: also, which version of devuan are you trying to install and how?
18:00.10WaspVersion ascii 2.0 beta
18:01.05msiismWasp: and what installation method are you using?
18:01.14dejdomsiism: it's thinkpad_acpi, i think it can be handled by modprobe.d or modules-load.d but let's see
18:02.07msiismdejdo: ok, setting it in grub was just the next best thing that popped into my mind.

21:01.39msiismmy x server froze up when i started it at frist, i have warning messages about eth0 and udev. my cursor theme was changed (but that's the fault of Debian, i guess).
21:02.12golinuxNo it the darkpurpy default
21:02.29fsmithredonly if you install desktop-base
21:02.51msiismit had the adwaita default theme after the upgrade

21:07.56fsmithredplain openbox config doesn't have a way to change mouse
21:08.13msiismhttps://friendsofdevuan.org/doku.php/community:upgrading_to_ascii#troubleshooting
21:08.33golinuxMost WM have crippled options for theming, I think
21:09.14msiismwell, you'll have to edit pretty big text files, yes

21:20.33msiismfsmithred: can i quote your comment about the kernel meta package on the wiki page?
21:21.49fsmithredyes, the kernel doesn't get upgraded automatically unless the kernel metapackage is installed
21:21.55msiismok
21:22.28fsmithredthat would be linux-image-amd64 or linux-image-i686 (not sure if they still say -pae on that one)
21:22.51fsmithredmaybe 686 not i686
21:23.00fsmithredask golinux
21:23.29msiismit says pae on mine
21:23.39fsmithredwithout the version number?
21:23.57msiism3.16.0-5-686-pae
21:24.06fsmithredthat's not the metapackage
21:24.10msiismno
21:24.16fsmithredfind one that doesn't have a version number
21:24.19msiismok, i get it
21:24.59msiismwell, i'll just install the newer kernel i guess. but then that might cause the same problem when upgrading to beowulf, i guess.
21:25.18fsmithredyes
21:25.44fsmithredand if you run beowulf while it's testing, you probably want to get new kernels when they arrive
21:26.01fsmithrednot just updates of the same version
21:26.52msiismok, so metapackage is recommended
21:30.25msiismok, so there is linux-image-686 for older pcs and linux-image-686-pae for "modern" pcs. and *-rt, if you're running a realtime kernel.
21:30.35fsmithredit's easier - you don't have to remember to do anything, and you don't have to type the version number
21:30.43msiismright
21:31.22fsmithredI thought they dropped the non-pae kernel

23:09.40WaspIs it usual that the installtion creates/defines the root parttion as an efi partition? (I am not even sure what this means exaclty) However shoudln't it be gpt or ext4

23:39.30gnarfaceWasp: (U)EFI vs BIOS boot is a kernel-level support decision.  GPT vs MSDOS is a partition table choice.  ext4 vs [many others] is the filesystem choice within the partition tables.  you're conflating 3 entirely separate decisions here.  luckily though, if you have relatively recent hardware the choices don't matter in any immediately obvious way and all the defaults should be fine.
