IRC log for #devuan on 20180704

00:00.43gnarfacethe stuff from backports isn't all tested to work together
00:01.28gnarface*usually* it's only there to provide fixes that break expected behavior
00:02.18roundduckman-devFuck, even after changing priority: https://pastebin.com/hPVz3fVB
00:02.32roundduckman-devBTW, I didn't pull off a dist/full-upgrade
00:02.40roundduckman-devwith backports
00:02.52roundduckman-devJust to make the automatic package picking easier
00:03.06gnarfaceyou did remember to `apt-get update` after changing the sources.list every time though, right?
00:03.29roundduckman-devYeah.
00:04.03roundduckman-devDo I need to reboot to recognize a change in /etc/apt/preferences,d?
00:04.08gnarfaceno
00:04.11gnarfacebut
00:04.26gnarfaceyour last paste
00:04.35roundduckman-devYeah?
00:04.38gnarfacerefers to 375.82-1~deb9u1
00:04.44gnarfacethat's a downgrade from what you were trying earlier
00:04.50roundduckman-devYep, even after the priority change
00:04.57gnarfaceso i suspect your priority change is being ignored
00:05.25roundduckman-devApt tries to use those crummy older packages
00:05.46roundduckman-devThat's why I asked if I needed a reboot
00:05.53gnarfaceyou don't need to reboot
00:05.57roundduckman-devOk.
00:06.30gnarfacelook you're making this harder on both of us than it has to be
00:06.33gnarfaceplease complete the initial test
00:06.47roundduckman-devWhat's the inital test again?
00:07.06gnarfaceapt-get -t ascii-backports install [every single nvidia package]
00:07.21gnarfaceyou honestly may have to list all 20 or so of them
00:07.21roundduckman-devAlright
00:07.39gnarfacei think you're supposed to change preferences for backports with pinning
00:07.44gnarfacei don't know if you did it right
00:07.50gnarfaceand i don't want to figure that out
00:08.02gnarfaceand it isn't necessary anyway
00:08.08gnarfaceand it's also a bad idea to begin with
00:08.27gnarfaceoh
00:08.51gnarfacebut while you're in there, if you're using an Intel CPU you should probably grab their updated microcode package, for security fixes :-/
00:09.09gnarfaceit will also be in non-free
00:09.15gnarfaceit shouldn't depend on anything though
00:10.28gnarfacebrb

00:20.45gnarfacei guess that means it may be more than 20 packages actually...
00:21.05gnarfacei'm counting 61 of them here :(
00:21.40abcabc__context?
00:22.08roundduckman-devupdate: https://pastebin.com/ZnZJRaGh
00:22.09gnarfaceabcabc__: he's having trouble shoehorning bumblebee&nvidia drivers from backports into an ascii install
00:23.34roundduckman-devI feel like to quit and do either a reinstall, nuke everything into the bare minimum and reinstall everything manually like Arch, or use Void Linux
00:23.36gnarfaceroundduckman-dev: there are a couple places where you have to make a choice between a "glvnd" or regular version of two packages.  i've been picking the non-glvnd ones
00:24.09gnarfaceroundduckman-dev: how did you get this install to begin with?  i'll admit it's usually not this much trouble for people unless they've got a heavily mixed set of packages from different distros/versions
00:25.09gnarfacesome of the behavior here you've seen could be indicative of stray packages from an older debian upgrade lingering around
00:25.29gnarfacei still think it'll eventually work if you keep adding packages to the list though
00:26.00gnarfacedepending on how much bandwidth you actually have it really COULD be faster to start over from scratch if you know how to make a minimal install properly
00:26.10gnarfaceyou can do that in about 20 minutes with a debian/devuan installer
00:26.41gnarfacebut like i said, i do think you're getting discouraged with plan "A" too early, but it is a gamble either way
00:27.45gnarfacethat filipdevuan guy got his working, you can too
00:29.54roundduckman-devI'll show you my apt history: https://pastebin.com/QMU976Wx
00:30.00roundduckman-devpart of it at elast
00:30.04roundduckman-devpart of it at least
00:30.15roundduckman-devNothing too personal yet
00:30.43gnarfaceit probably should be mentioned i always call "apt-get" and "apt-cache" directly
00:31.07gnarfaceif "apt" behaves any differently in the way it manages dependencies that would also be an unknown variable to me
00:31.08roundduckman-devThose logs apply even with apt-get
00:31.28roundduckman-devNot apt-cache as it's a search though
00:32.12roundduckman-devI guess "apt" in this case is "APT," the proper term, not apt-cache
00:32.13gnarfacesometimes when you see it seeming to remove then re-add the same package, what is probably happening is it's removing a conflicting version from an older install (perhaps a previous use of jessie-backports before upgrading left stray packages behind - that can cause some of these types of complications)
00:32.18roundduckman-devI guess "apt" in this case is "APT," the proper term, not "apt"
00:33.25roundduckman-devBut yeah, any strange indications in the log, like a crappily installed file that's tripping the package manager?
00:33.58gnarfacewell this last paste looks like you tried to manually kill it with keyboard escape sequences while it was actually working
00:34.03gnarfaceso that's a problem
00:34.25gnarfaceseemed to complete though anyway
00:35.33roundduckman-devI didn't try to kill anything, no ctrl+c. Sometimes the log splits a section in term.log while using one command
00:35.34gnarfaceoh i see, then you continue and several more installs complete
00:35.43gnarfaceno i don't see anything in this log that doesn't look like a self-inflicted problem

00:36.02gnarfacebtw you will need dkms
00:36.05gnarfacei see you just purged that
00:36.08roundduckman-devYeah, got that
00:36.31roundduckman-devI purged it along with anything Nvidia initally, then reinstalled dkms
00:36.58gnarfacewhere you see a conflict between two packages named "*nvidia*" and "*mesa*" choose the nvidia one
00:37.15roundduckman-devSo I must delete anything mesa?
00:37.26gnarfaceno, most of it is harmless
00:37.39gnarfacejust a few packages that will be in direct conflict with corresponding nvidia ones must be replaced
00:37.55gnarfacelibgl1-nvidia-glx and libgl1-mesa-glx i think is a prime example
00:38.24gnarface(and make sure to remember you'll want libgl1-nvidia-glx:amd64 *and* libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386)

00:41.59roundduckman-devYou know what, thank you for your help, but considering I still have a somewhat functional system, I'll reinstall
00:42.28roundduckman-devI havrn't done much, and I can't delete the mesa stuff due to more dependency hell
00:42.55roundduckman-devI can just download etcher and the iso and reinstall Devuan
00:45.49gnarfaceetcher???
00:46.13gnarfacedear lord don't use that malware shit
00:46.19gnarfacethat's half of your problem right there
00:46.25gnarfaceuse `dd` or `cp`
00:46.34gnarfacehell use cat even if it floats your boat
00:46.37gnarfaceuse anything from the repo
00:46.54gnarfacedon't use some web-gen-2.0 driveby hack tool
00:48.55gnarfacein general you should be highly suspicious of anyone trying to rebrand core OS functionality
00:51.55roundduckman-devI use etcher because it also verifies, and I'm not that purist. I just like my core to be Unix-like, as that can lead to instability otherwise. If a side program crashes, I'd just throw it away. :/
00:52.07gnarfacedd verifies
00:52.24roundduckman-devI thought it just unmercifully copies. :P
00:52.57gnarfacewell i mean at the end, it will tell you how many blocks were read and how many were written, so you can note any discrepancies
00:53.29roundduckman-devdd is great BTW, just isn't my cup of tea. If it's yours though, more power to you, especially considering its power and simplity.
00:53.51gnarfacei just really don't trust etcher and i'm trying to save you more hassle, that's all

00:54.43gnarfacebut what is far more likely is that they *have* heard of dd and have ulterior motives

12:31.57roundduckmanAlright gnarface, with a fresh new system, how to install nvidia drivers from backports?
12:32.15roundduckmanWithout screwing it up this time... ;)
12:35.03gnarfacedon't enable multiarch just yet that will confuse you
12:35.39gnarfacestart with `apt-get -t ascii-backports nvidia-driver libgl1-nvidia-glx` or else just follow that debian wiki page...
12:35.42roundduckmanWell, I'd need it to install it properly to get Steam working, but I'll hold back if needed.
12:36.22gnarfaceeasier to test with glxgears and glxinfo in 64-bit mode first
12:36.28roundduckmanAlso, I'm going to see if I can find a way to back shit up so if a screw up, I can quickly do a do-over

20:00.51roundduckman_gnarface, I have some success by just installing bumblebee-nvidia, It might be that nvidia-driver is meant for desktops and bumblebee handles similar stuff, while also trying to install intel shit.
20:01.15roundduckman_That said, I can't use optirun or primusrun to force using Nvidia GPU.
20:01.45roundduckman_damn it
20:05.02roundduckman_My problem was that the two packages are meant to conflict (due to also installing Mesa, which plain-jane Nvidia-driver hates), as I noticed, and if I only install Nvidia, the stupid driver doesn't work and I would need to reinstall
20:05.36roundduckman_It doesn't work because I got a mobile 1050 ti

23:16.00gnarfaceDeeEff: in order to preserve expected behavior from lets just call it "Debian Classic" a number of the limitations of the system are also inherited.  downgrades not being a supported action is one of those, unfortunately.  nothing is tested for downgrading.
23:17.21gnarfaceyellyfish: yea there's some tangle there you have to force out manually.  for some people, just deleting the /etc/init.d/udev script worked, but before i heard about that i had to fix it by uninstalling the running kernel out from underneath the system briefly
23:17.53DeeEffgnarface: I think I've noticed this. Fortunately though, it can fix some issues. I had a dependency graph problem fro my initial ceres install (from back when devuan was barely even a mailing list topic) that persisted to present day. Downgrading actually fixed a _ton_ of issues and allowed me to use eudev and elogind instead of the systemd variants.
23:17.59DeeEffI managed to solve my issue by the way
23:18.22gnarfacethat roundduckman guy gets nearly there and panics and hoses it every time.  if filipdevuan comes back and those two are both here at the same time, maybe try to get them to talk.  they have similar optimus hardware
23:18.24DeeEffThere's a (silent) kernel panic when you try to start X with Nvidia driver 390.67 with kernel 4.16.0-2
23:19.10DeeEffIs a 650ti Optimus?
23:19.58gnarfacesorry, no that wasn't to you, DeeEff, that was more just to the channel in general
23:19.59DeeEffI think it's partly that Nvidia hasn't updated their driver to support 4.16 yet, since the panic appears to come from the module
23:20.04yellyfishso delete udev script and restart?
23:20.10gnarfaceDeeEff: they have similar hardware to each other - your situation is different
23:20.32DeeEffIt seemed to work with 4.16.0-1, but that may have just been a fluke. A new ABI would be enough to kill it.
23:21.03gnarfaceyellyfish: you shouldn't even have to restart, but it didn't work for everyone.  some people had to uninstall all dependencies of udev before eudev would go in
23:21.26yellyfishthen just logout/login?
23:21.45gnarfacenot necessary either
23:22.06gnarfacebut you probably want to test the reboot process anyway to make sure none of the init scripts got hosed while you were doing this
23:22.42yellyfishk. be right back
23:22.49DeeEffyellyfish:
23:22.56DeeEffAre you on ascii?
23:23.00yellyfishye
23:24.54DeeEffHuh, weird. I had similar Nvidia problems recently (see above). I had about five issues in total but the last one burnt about 3 full days for me.
23:25.16*** join/#devuan IoFran (~Thunderbi@189.154.21.141)
23:25.37gnarfaceDeeEff: it is possible that if you're using nvidia packages from ceres, they might not work well/stably with the ascii kernel - you'd want to make sure that you got the nvidia driver version and the kernel version from the same place
23:25.46DeeEffFunny that he has issues with udev, ascii seems to use eudev properly and packages it to make things easy enough to switch from systemd-udevd.
23:26.43gnarfaceDeeEff: so if you're using the ceres nvidia driver version, the kernel needs to be from ceres as well.  if you're using the one from ascii-backports, then the kernel needs to be from ascii-backports as well.  they're only tested in pairs like that upstream, so any other combinations may have unexpected behavior and instability.  make sense?
23:26.53DeeEffgnarface: its the opposite I think. Ceres uses the latest kernel, and the changes to 4.16 are all the final mitigation to spectre and meltdown. I think the ABI change that those changes necessitate broke the driver
23:27.24DeeEffThe latest Nvidia package has backwards compatible ABI interfaces and will work as far back as 3.6 IIRC
23:27.38gnarfacewell on ceres stuff is known to be frequently broken without notice for weeks at a time. Nvidia drivers are particularly misbehaved in this way.
23:27.38DeeEffThe problem is the kernel doesn't work that way just for Nvidia specially.
23:28.28gnarfaceif you're just trying to get recent enough nvidia drivers to play steam, it would have been safer to try backports than ceres
23:29.41DeeEffYeah, I mean, I don't blame the devuan project for ceres being unstable or broken
23:30.11DeeEffBut to say it's just broken and unusable would be wrong. I've been using ceres since the beginning and this has been my first major issue.
23:30.35DeeEffHappy to help test that claim if it's needed though :)
23:30.58gnarfacei've been using sid longer than ceres, and i can confirm nvidia has single-handedly ruined my day with their sloppy package management dozens of times
23:31.27gnarfaceright now i'm running a custom kernel on my ceres box though so i can't report on compatibility with the stock one
23:31.52gnarfacefor the last several versions though i've had a mystery source of some sort of runaway memory leak
23:32.07gnarfaceit doesn't happen all the time but some combination of firefox and other opengl programs seems to trigger it
23:33.02gnarfacewhat i would have recommended in your situation i guess would have been to just stay on ceres but downgrade the *nvidia drivers* temporarily

23:47.20gnarfaceyellyfish: yea getting the switchover from udev to eudev for me did require uninstalling a lot of packages, but that's the part that's supposed to work if you just delete the /etc/init.d/udev script instead, after stopping udev.  worth a try anyway.  (if you go the "remove everything" route though, make sure after it's done you put the kernel back in before you reboot)
23:48.21gnarfacethe process it *wants* to follow involves uninstalling the running kernel right out from underneath yourself
23:48.33gnarfacewhich is risky, but should work actually if you don't lose power at an opportune time
23:48.51gnarfaceinopportune time, i mean
23:50.30yellyfishhow do i save all these packages on a file to reinstall after?

23:51.36gnarfaceterryc: you mean it's no longer in the interfaces file, or just doesn't show up despite being in it?
23:52.34gnarfaceyellyfish: you could get a list of the installed packges with `dpkg -l` and just redirect that to a file
23:52.59gnarfaceor you could copy&paste the terminal output from the package conflict message in there
23:53.35gnarfaceif those are packages that are being removed as dependencies of udev i expect most will come back automatically as dependencies of eudev though
23:57.00gnarfaceyellyfish: do you need hints like this?  `dpkg -l > installed_package_list.txt 2>&1`
23:57.18terrycThe migration borked static networking and invoke dhcp using eth1. removing dhcp leaves no networking. doing 'ifup eth0'='what eth0'  ifquery reads interfaces okay. brain fade to making static work
