00:05.02Criggieany ideas on how far away devuan for pi4 is ?

00:13.48tuxd3vI believe that are there still components to migrate from rpi kernel to mainline kernel..
00:13.57gnarfaceCriggie: someone successfully managed to make an unofficial one already
00:14.17gnarfaceCriggie: (by shoehorning a devuan rootfs onto a raspbian img, i think)
00:14.33gnarface(or maybe it was Ubuntu.  i forget)
00:15.12Criggiemeh - much as I love screwing round with things, reliability is higher-than-normal for this build
00:17.21tuxd3vthe uniq option for now seems to be using the rpi kernels and its firmware blobs..

00:18.24tuxd3vI am now toying with a rockpi4A
00:18.50tuxd3vand I don't know why, but I am getting a lot of trouble to set u-boot correctly
00:18.53tuxd3v:D
00:19.11tuxd3vits like crazy.. out of 50 boot attempts, it only try to boot 1
00:19.14tuxd3v:D
00:19.59tuxd3valso it tries to run 'fsck.ext4' without I mencioning it elsewere
00:20.17tuxd3vso he does things secretly behind the stage..
00:20.41tuxd3vI am now on the 3rd image for it..
00:21.45tuxd3veven not having 'fsck.repair=yes' it still tries to do it..
00:22.14gnarfaceext4 might be the actually worst possible filesystem for a raspberry pi
00:23.29tuxd3vI am using it for other sbcs for rootfs, for /boot I just go with ext2.. nojournaling
00:23.50tuxd3vbut f2fs seems a good option
00:23.54gnarfacei'd almost suggest trying anything else at all, but after extensive testing i can recommend primarily xfs and reiserfs (even on crappy flash cards ext4 will thrash) but i hope that f2fs turns out to be what they claim it to be (haven't had the guts to try that one myself yet though)
00:24.28gnarfaceyes, i agree on ext2 for /boot.  just make it read-only and it doesn't need a journal.  then boot is much faster.
00:24.59gnarfaceif you're still using ext4 then you can use that driver's ext2 compatibility mode, which can save you having to have extra filesystem drivers
00:25.24gnarfacebut i've had really bad luck with ext4 and usb or sd flash storage
00:25.49tuxd3vgnarface, you mean using only ext4 one, and them disabling journaling?
00:25.54gnarfacelike enough different separate bad incidents, all explainable, to note a statistically absurd failure rate compared to every single other option
00:26.24gnarfacetuxd3v: ext4 *with or without journaling* - disabling journaling just makes it unravel faster
00:26.55gnarfacetuxd3v: the read-only ext2 /boot trick is safe though because nothing is ever writing to that partition
00:27.15tuxd3vgnarface, right :)
00:27.41tuxd3vf2fs is in my option list for rootfs
00:28.01tuxd3vzram too
00:28.11tuxd3vfor swap
00:28.25tuxd3vwith lz4 algo

22:57.16saciozhello ...I need a bit of help regarding beowulf , please.
22:59.53gnarfacejust ask, sacioz.  you don't need permission.
22:59.59saciozAll looks good  , but I get no net connection from the 'puter out...this one sits on another hd
23:00.22saciozthank you...
23:00.25gnarfacewifi or ethernet?
23:00.32saciozethernet
23:01.29saciozUp to this morning I was doing OK but a new update came up and ...kaput so to speak
23:03.35gnarfacehmmm
23:03.44gnarfacedid the kernel upgrade at that time?
23:04.03saciozno...that one was last night
23:04.20gnarfaceso you know the kernel upgrade wasn't the culprit?
23:04.31gnarfaceit could have been a gui networking widget, are you using one of those?
23:04.52saciozI don't think so yes am using a gui  xfce
23:05.01gnarfacenetwork-manager or wicd?
23:05.23saciozwicd I think
23:05.53saciozgnarface  everything looks perfect no losses whatsoever
23:06.06saciozexcept for the connection
23:06.26gnarfacehmmm
23:06.35gnarfaceany errors in dmesg that look relevant?
23:06.52gnarfacecould be a glitch in wicd
23:07.10saciozhad a look , theres a hint about ufw needing reconf
23:07.38saciozany advice is mostly welcome
23:07.44gnarfacepaste that exact error line please
23:08.09saciozI cannot as is..must swap hds
23:08.13gnarfaceoh
23:08.14gnarfacei see
23:08.15gnarfacewait
23:08.18gnarfacedon't do that yet
23:08.22saciozbut will do if need be
23:08.57saciozavahi seems absent as well.
23:09.09gnarfacewere you using it before?
23:09.27gnarfaceit is possible that an update simply removed some packages you need
23:09.33saciozYes...I have two devuans
23:09.33gnarface(possibly due to a temporary conflict)

23:09.50sacioz))
23:09.58sacioztwo I meant
23:10.18gnarfaceif you were using avahi before, maybe try reinstalling it.  try to make the package list of relevant networking packages the same on the non-working install as the working one
23:10.57saciozI see...will have a crack at it...many thanks
23:11.20saciozOff I am
23:11.23gnarfacesorry i can't be more help.  if you get that exact error message and paste it into google though, it often will find you solutions
23:11.52saciozthank you will try that one too...
23:12.18saciozand another one ...
23:12.35saciozbeowulf seems heavier sorta thing
23:12.44saciozascii is much quicker
23:12.52saciozpar for the course, is it ?
23:13.15gnarfacehard to say, but probably actually just that you've installed more active userspace stuff in beowulf
23:13.31gnarfaceit could also be simply broken temporarily.  that is also par for the course
23:13.43saciozI see ...right...
23:13.56gnarfaceif it is just wicd that is broken though, you could try disabling it and doing a manual network config just to test to make sure the drivers and hardware are still fine
23:14.13saciozHuh huh...
23:14.22gnarfaceand that can get you up and running temporarily while someone fixes wicd (assuming that is the only issue)
23:14.36sacioznods
23:15.05saciozwell that will do
23:15.05gnarfaceyou're not mixing debian or ubuntu packages in there, right?
23:15.24gnarfacesometimes there can be tiny version discrepancies that break stuff
23:15.41sacioznever did or will ,,,Mr.Golinux advises against it in bold letters s/where
23:16.23gnarfaceyea, just making sure
23:16.39saciozfunny thing...will go now...thanks see youse later
