13:35.07msiismwhen my ascii system boots up, i'm getting a few strange messages during network interface configuration. and i don't really know what to make of them. here's the relevant part of my bootlog: http://paste.debian.net/hidden/756c08fd/ . the messages i'm talking about are in lines 14 and 16.
13:37.51*** join/#devuan inhetep (~inhetep@gateway/tor-sasl/inhetep)
13:38.50msiismmy /etc/network/interfaces file looks like this: http://paste.debian.net/hidden/dbbd66fa/
13:40.05fsmithredmsiism, do you have a network manager of some kind installed?
13:40.16*** join/#devuan pillepalle (~Thunderbi@ip-94-114-5-11.unity-media.net)
13:40.39msiismfsmithred: no. well, not intentionally. let me check.
13:41.10msiismfsmithred: ok, nither wicd nor network-manager are installed.
13:41.22fsmithredconnman?
13:41.33msiismfsmithred: i've been gettign this message since i upgraded from jessie.
13:41.41msiismfsmithred: ok, let's check that as well.
13:41.57msiismfsmithred: no connman.
13:42.06fsmithredthe only weird thing I see is that ifup says eth0 is already configured
13:42.16fsmithreddoes eth0 get an address?
13:42.32msiismfsmithred: right. and, even more strange, eth0 works after boot-up
13:42.55fsmithredso both wireless and wired are working at the same time?
13:43.03msiismfsmithred: right.
13:43.31fsmithredunplug the network cable
13:43.49fsmithredunless that's what you want to use
13:43.53msiismfsmithred: ok, done
13:44.05fsmithrednow it can't get an address unless you plug it in
13:44.08fsmithredI believe
13:44.16fsmithredallow-hotplug
13:44.18msiismfsmithred: probably.
13:44.29msiismfsmithred: well, let me check the latest bootlog again.
13:44.35fsmithredok
13:44.49msiismbecause the thing i posted happened with the cable disconnected.
13:45.08msiismbut then i checked with it connected as well. but can't remember right now if it made a difference.
13:46.28fsmithredI'm looking at man interfaces, and what it says does not seem to match the reality here
13:47.03msiismfsmithred: ok, it made one difference. "invoke-rc.d: could not determine current runlevel" did not show when the cable was connected.
13:47.07fsmithredinterfaces marked "auto" are brought up at boot time (by ifup)
13:47.15msiismright.
13:47.39fsmithredso why is ifup trying to bring up the interface marked as 'allow-hotplug'
13:48.09msiismfsmithred: maybe the interface needs to be up to allow hotplugging?
13:48.17fsmithredI recall there was a problem with 'allow-hotplug' when we first started working with ascii
13:48.22msiismlet me look into that man page
13:48.39fsmithredand I was telling people to replace it with 'auto'
13:48.57msiismok, so i will try that.
13:49.04fsmithredbut I think their problem was that it wasn't coming up at boot
13:49.16msiismi'm never using the hotplug functionality anyway.
13:50.42msiismthere's also a not about some bug in ifdown concerning the auto meathod.
13:50.50msiism(in the man page)
13:51.19fsmithredcable in or out should make no difference
13:53.31msiismjust read the paragraph explaining auto and allow-hotplug. even more confused now.
13:53.57msiismwell, let me try using auto instead of allow-htplug, reboot and see what happens.
13:54.16fsmithredok, sounds like a plan
13:54.52msiismwill be back shortly.

14:01.46msiismfsmithred: ok, that look different. the "already configured" message fpr eth0 is gone. and it's now clear that "invoke-rc.d: could not determine current runlevel" refers to setting up my wlan0.
14:02.28fsmithredwlan0 should probably get 'allow-hotplug' - udev will see it when you plug it in.
14:02.45fsmithredunless you actually want both working
14:03.12msiismfsmithred: yes, i was thinking about that.
14:03.39msiismfsmithred: also, i now remember why i was using allow-hotplug for eth0 (which is usually not connected)
14:04.23msiismif i use "auto", the system will try to bring the interface up even if there's no cable connection. that means it tries and tries to get a connection and then fails.
14:04.48msiismthat takes nearly a minute.
14:05.38fsmithredthat sucks
14:05.44msiismit does.
14:06.02fsmithredanother option is to remove all the allow-* lines and just bring up the interface manually
14:06.28msiismyes, for eth0 that would be ok for me.
14:06.29fsmithredyou got a panel on your desktop? You could make buttons to do that.
14:07.04msiismwell, not really a panel here.
14:07.14msiismalso, you need to eb root to bring up an interface, afaik.
14:07.32fsmithredor configure sudo to allow it
14:07.41msiismok, that's an idea.
14:07.41fsmithrednopasswd
14:09.50msiismok, so let me remove the "auto" stanza for eth0 and put allow-hotplug for the wifi device. speaking of the wifi device. i think i'm getting some error from udev about that device as well.

14:20.11msiismfsmithred: putting "allow-hotplug" for wlan0 also answered the question what causes the "already configured" message. it seems like it's eudev, because i get that now for wlan0 (and nothing for eth0, which is correct).
14:22.43msiismstill it's strange that i get "invoke-rc.d: could not determine current runlevel", when i use "auto wlan0" instead of "allow-hotplug wlan0".
14:25.41msiismfsmithred: thanks for the sudo config, using a file in suoders.d this way looks like a good idea.
14:28.16msiismi'd have to use a group instead of a single username though, since i have 3 accounts on my system, two of which i usually run in parallel. i'll check that out.
14:28.33fsmithredyeah, there's a way to do that
14:28.57fsmithredI don't know who is calling invoke-rc.d
14:29.47msiism"could not determine current runlevel" sounds like sth that probably needs to be fixed, don't know.

15:31.24fsmithredmsiism, I think I just fixed it
15:31.40fsmithreduncommented the needs_root... line in Xwrapper.config
15:38.26msiismfsmithred: ok, well that will make the xserver freeze on my system.
15:38.44msiismi initially had to put it there after the upgrade to be able to run it at all
15:39.01fsmithredI had commented that line out because I no longer needed it after installing libpam-elogind
15:39.46msiismfsmithred: ok, i remeber you suggested to install that, yes. but somehow that didn't fix things for me.
15:39.57fsmithredI have consolekit and the backends for consolekit, also libpam-elogind and elogind
15:40.17fsmithredalso have slim, but I tested with that disabled

15:59.06msiismi've installed debian 9 on a laptop now. i'll check if it occurs there as well. (i suppose so.)
16:00.04msiismfsmithred: about the root rights problem. the important thing was that it dien't work right away, but only after a reboot.

16:03.11fsmithredI'm getting slightly different results if I run openbox-session instead of openbox

16:03.59fsmithredinstead of immediately crashing, the xserver on tty1 is still there, but I lose keyboard and mouse, and when I try to ctrl-alt-Fn, then the xserver crashes

18:46.34msiismfsmithred: after a longish discussion in #debian, the root of the X crash problem has been found. you need to comment out the if statement that will cause clear_console to be run when bash is a login shell. it's a bash-related issue. other shells (zsh and csh tested) work fine.

18:58.53DocScrutinizer05seems simple enough

18:59.53msiismbut even with this commented out, bash clear'S the screen when i log out.
18:59.57msiismso, it should be save.
19:00.15msiismbut maybe someone should look into how it has been fixed in buster, if it has.
19:02.28golinuxGood that you figured that out.  Maybe file a bug report with the solution?
19:09.26msiismgolinux: yes, can do that.
19:09.46DocScrutinizer05msiism: I still fail to understand the problem completely. .bash_logout is run when a login shell exits. So where exactly is a shell exiting that causes X11 to break?
19:10.02msiismbut maybe it should be discussed on the dev meet first. because i'm not sure about the solution really being a good solution.
19:10.34msiismDocScrutinizer05: it seems that the if statement running clear_console will cause X to break.
19:10.58golinuxA bug report puts it on the radar.
19:11.03msiismDocScrutinizer05: however, running clear console from tty2 when you have X running on tty1 does not break X.
19:11.12msiismgolinux: well, you're about that.
19:11.32golinuxMaybe not a priority byt at least there would be a record of it
19:11.59DocScrutinizer05no, probably the http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/clear_console.1.html command itself does that, but I don't get when and why it gets invoked. You say it gets invoked via .bash_logout but how is that run on X11 startup? or does the error happen sometime later on, not during startup?

19:14.20DocScrutinizer05msiism: please tell me what *exactly* is the error observed
19:14.28msiismDocScrutinizer05: the problem is: when i have X running on VT1 and also on VT2 and then stop X on VT2 and log out on VT2, X will crash on VT1.
19:14.42fsmithredcomment out all three lines?
19:14.42DocScrutinizer05ouch
19:14.51msiismDocScrutinizer05: there's an older debian bug report about that as well
19:15.11DocScrutinizer05I'd guess clear_console itself is fubar
19:15.16msiismfsmithred: well, if without content will not make too much sense, so i commented them all.
19:15.24msiismDocScrutinizer05: possible
19:16.30DocScrutinizer05I don't see wgy clear_console is needed at all, maybe just kick it out at least of all X11 and bash scripts
19:17.00msiismDocScrutinizer05: but, as i've said. running clear_console from vt2 in this scenario does not break X.
19:17.22DocScrutinizer05hmm
19:17.30msiismor is there a bash built-in "clear_console"?
19:17.44DocScrutinizer05no
19:17.53DocScrutinizer05at least not in my bash

19:19.05fsmithredok, why does my computer beep with every key press now? Only in hexchat.
19:19.17msiismyes, that's what is also in bash_logout.
19:21.22DocScrutinizer05clrearing console seems a cosmetic issue only. Thus I suggest replacing /usr/bin/clear_console by e.g a "#!/bisn/sh \n echo 'console not cleared since clear_console is crap "
19:22.12msiismDocScrutinizer05: well, bash_logout says it's there to increase privacy.
19:22.16DocScrutinizer05from manpage is sounds like clear_console is meant for interactive use only, since it "changes the ***foreground*** virtual terminal..."
19:22.46msiismDocScrutinizer05: yes, i stumbled upon that and it did not make sense to me.
19:22.59DocScrutinizer05obviously this will fail when your script isn't running on forgrount vt

20:08.34DocScrutinizer05the question is what concept is behind this "privacy enhancement" at all. If it was about arbitrary output to stdout of programs that have to terminal wrapper, then this output would show up on VT2 aiui but you could and should handle it via >/dev/null 2>&1 of the bash starting X, instead of deleting VT scroll buffer after bash finished.  OTOH when processes write to /dev/console or whatever, it's pretty unclear on which VT this will
20:08.36DocScrutinizer05show up and thus clear_console is FUBAR evidently on >1 VT active

20:47.15DocScrutinizer05not the vt it's run inside
20:48.13DocScrutinizer05and x11 doesn't like its VT's scroll buffer getting cleared while X11 still running

20:58.12aitorhi, fsmithred
20:58.19DocScrutinizer05bash might have *one* issue in that it doesn't implicitly clear scroll buffer on exit

21:04.33DocScrutinizer05an easy way to clear scroll buffer (verified): mc; clear; reset (F10 to exit mc)
21:05.12muepto me it seems that at least linux by itself does not really keep track of a "session". it is all just a bag of processes
21:05.53DocScrutinizer05nevermind, fooled me

21:11.26fsmithredmost of the apps that go into Refracta installed.
21:12.05DocScrutinizer05msiism: ((just re-checked)) exactly what I expected
21:12.35msiismi must have mixed things up before
21:12.49msiismso, this is really not a bash issue then
21:12.56DocScrutinizer05msiism: so this is a clear_console issue
21:13.00fsmithreddon't think so
21:13.06msiismmaybe i just don't file the report against any perticular package at all
21:13.17aitorLXDE == swallow
21:13.33KatolaZmsiism, fsmithred any progress?
21:13.35msiismDocScrutinizer05: but if it doesn'T cause problems on dbus-free installs?
21:13.44DocScrutinizer05I don't know
21:13.46fsmithredLXDE lives under your porch roof?
21:14.11msiismKatolaZ: well, i'm trying to put together a bug report, but this is really complicted.
21:14.11fsmithredI don't know if it's actually dbus or one of the kits
21:14.41DocScrutinizer05I blame the kits
21:14.46aitorlol, fsmithred: yes
21:14.56msiismDocScrutinizer05: ;)
21:14.57DocScrutinizer05you always blame the kids ;-P
21:15.39fsmithredremoving elogind eliminated the x-crash for me
21:15.41DocScrutinizer05the root culprit is clear_console
21:16.25DocScrutinizer05fsmithred: great, my guess was somewhat correct then
21:16.35msiismDocScrutinizer05: ok, so maybe i can just go ahed with a basic summary as a bug report and then you could add your finding to that?
21:17.03msiismDocScrutinizer05: i had trouble following...
21:17.05DocScrutinizer05msiism: to be honest you guys did all the findings, I just suggested what to check
21:17.21msiismDocScrutinizer05: well, that's elaborate guessing then.
21:17.39msiismactually, someone on #debian did the findings, tbh
21:17.44DocScrutinizer05msiism: >>running /usr/bin/clear_console on vt2 with X running in vt1 will crash X in vt1 in debian 9.<< sounds like a pretty decent bug report to me
21:17.48msiismthe initial ones at least
21:18.44msiismDocScrutinizer05: yes, but the thing with .bash_logout should be mentioned because it includes a workaround.
21:18.58DocScrutinizer05my approach: nuke clear_console, it's fubar and unclear purpose anyway
21:19.53DocScrutinizer05msiism: no, bash_logout uses clear_console and the workaround is to _not_ do that
21:20.44DocScrutinizer05the bug is clear_console
21:20.48msiismDocScrutinizer05: that's what i meant
21:21.07msiismabout bash_logout

21:33.24DocScrutinizer05hmm yep, might have been introduced with bash4.4
21:33.52msiismfsmithred: on your dbus-free install, did you have to modify bash_logout or did it work out of the box?
21:34.04msiismDocScrutinizer05: maybe, yes.
21:34.45fsmithredmsiism, I predict that you will be told that you're supposed to select 'switch user' from the desktop menu
21:35.14fsmithredI did not modify bash_logout
21:35.22fsmithredin dbus-free
21:35.35msiismfsmithred: ok, thanks.
21:36.09fsmithredI did modify Xwrapper.config, but that was done when I first installed it
21:36.11DocScrutinizer05honestly,  echo '#!/bin/sh' > `which clear_console`
21:37.06DocScrutinizer05bash bash a bit
21:38.04msiismwhat's the difference to just say `which clear_console`?
21:38.23msiism(don't really get it...)
21:38.28DocScrutinizer05hm? I'm neutering it
21:38.35msiismok.
21:38.56DocScrutinizer05replacing it with a 1liner file that's just a shebang

21:44.00aitorthe first one was involved in the manhattan project
21:44.50aitorthe second one was imprisoned by Stalin
21:46.40msiismKatolaZ: maybe there should also be a pseudo-header for the devuan release branch for bug reports.
21:46.53msiism(like jessie, ascii, ceres, i mean)
21:48.34KatolaZmsiism: you can add tags, yes
21:48.36msiismbut, ok, it may be pretty clear from the package version as well
21:48.42KatolaZthis is how bugs are sorted already
21:48.44msiismKatolaZ: ok, didn't know that
21:49.04msiismwell, i knew of "package" and "version" pseudo-headers only
21:49.51KatolaZmsiism: Tags: is the one

21:50.42msiismKatolaZ: ok, i always have to re-read that before posting abug report. but i didn't get to the end this time...
21:50.49KatolaZ:)
21:51.47msiismi will remember now
21:56.02msiismfsmithred: btw, is installing elogind and libpam-elogind a solution that works generally or just when you would use startx to get X?
21:56.19msiismi mean for running X as an unrivileged user.
21:57.35msiismi remember different DEs were using different stuff there.
21:57.54DocScrutinizer05when you really are concerned about that "privacy issue", a ``` echo -e '#!/bin/sh \n for ( x=0; x < 9999; x++ ); do echo -e "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"; done' > `which clear_console` ´´´ could be a working workaround
