00:00.04frabbiti treid service networking restart but that doesnt work
00:00.07frabbit*tried
00:01.08gnarfacethere's a few things it could be, but first of all, never remove a device from /etc/network/interfaces while it is still up, or it gets confused
00:01.53frabbitgnarface: yeah thats what i painfully found out now =D
00:02.34frabbiti did a search for an eth0 file everywhere but i ddnt get a clue what to do
00:02.34gnarfacejust ifdown the device first, THEN comment it out in /etc/network/interfaces
00:02.43frabbitgnarface: yup
00:03.25frabbithower before i rebooted ive done this and added the correct device for the wlan stick in interfaces
00:03.30frabbit*however
00:03.37frabbitip a showed it to me
00:04.10gnarfacedid wpasupplicant also give you a dhcp client?
00:04.15frabbitbut i couldnt bring it up and i didnt found out (without internet) how to use it
00:04.19*** join/#devuan blizzow (~blizzow@71-218-126-122.hlrn.qwest.net)
00:04.25gnarfaceif you don't have a dhcp client installed you'll also have to give it a static ip in addition to the normal wifi stuff
00:04.40frabbiti do not wpa_suppcliant atm, im reading about it atm
00:04.46frabbitbut i have no dhcp here
00:05.02frabbityeah in interfaces right?
00:05.09gnarfaceyes
00:05.14frabbitlike the one for eth0
00:05.16frabbitok =)
00:05.26gnarfaceyour router may need to be configured to allow static ip addresses
00:05.29frabbitmust it be different?
00:05.49frabbitthe router runs with static eth0 adress
00:05.57frabbit*address
00:06.12gnarfacecheesy plastic home routers often have different rules for the wifi from the physical ethernet ports
00:06.24gnarfaceso that's not a relevant comparison, necessarily
00:06.26frabbitoh i see...
00:06.45frabbitddnt know that only used wlan once
00:06.56gnarfaceyou'll want to read the device's documentation
00:07.10frabbitand for that "phone" here to visit f-droid
00:07.23gnarfaceyou need to be familiar enough with it's features to make sure it's set up to do what you want
00:07.31frabbitgnarface: errr.. i just want to try first
00:07.53gnarfaceit's not something i could even do completely blind
00:08.06gnarfacethere's not enough uniformity on consumer device features or default configurations
00:08.29frabbitreading wpa_suppcliant atm then try to type in my passphrase for the wpa of the router and edit the interfaces file before that
00:11.18*** join/#devuan blizzow (~blizzow@71-218-126-122.hlrn.qwest.net)
00:12.04frabbitshit.. what i have to do? so much stuff here? is that really necessary?
00:13.16frabbiti thought i could stick that thing in, edit interfaces file, type in my passphrase and thats it.
00:14.42gnarfacewell, there's too many unknowns for me to answer simply
00:14.45gnarfaceit will bear some testing
00:15.35frabbit=(
00:15.43frabbitim looking for videos now...
00:16.00gnarfacei've been able to get a wifi connection up with as little as just 2 additional lines below the iface line, but it varies a lot by protocol and device.  sometimes you need extra lines to specify stuff it can't auto-detect right due to limitations of the router firmware or the driver itself
00:16.29gnarfaceor maybe you're just getting the password format wrong
00:16.46gnarfaceor maybe the router isn't set up to allow static ip addresses for wifi by default (common)
00:17.18gnarfaceif you don't want to mess with router settings, then i'd check on that missing dhcp client first i think (usually they do enable dhcp by default)
00:18.31gnarfacein one particular case, the computer was just too slow and the router was impatient, so it would take MINUTES to finish connecting, and work fine once connected but fail to complete connecting like 4 out of 5 times
00:19.21gnarfacebut at this point for all i know you have everything else right and just forgot to specify the gateway

00:21.14frabbitthx =) but i read http://maemo.cloud-7.de/irclogs/freenode/_devuan/ when this happens
00:21.45gnarfacefrabbit: yea there's different types of password actually.  they're not all just "string"  ... some of them are hex or decimal or limited ascii
00:21.54frabbitwait g4570n has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds)
00:21.58frabbitthats not me
00:21.58gnarfaceand some of them need special notation in the /etc/network/interfaces file
00:22.13gnarfaceignore that, i just copy+pasted from my window, so other parts/joins are in there
00:22.13frabbitwheres the message that i was disconnected?
00:22.24gnarfaceit didn't happen
00:22.26g4570n0/
00:22.39frabbitoh the people here block my parts and joins because it happens so often xD
00:22.58gnarfaceyou reconnected before your previous connection timed out that time
00:23.13frabbitoh ok, but i missed the last message from you
00:23.23frabbitdoesnt matter
00:23.30gnarfaceeverything in that paste was what you missed
00:23.43gnarfaceplus some bonus content
00:23.43frabbitgnarface: yes i know
00:23.49frabbitno
00:23.55frabbitonly the last sentence
00:24.03frabbitnever mind
00:24.04frabbit=)
00:24.19frabbiti read the log site
00:24.36gnarfaceanyway
00:24.37frabbitso how can i find out what passphrase type my router is using?
00:24.51gnarfaceit should be mentioned in the manual
00:25.03gnarfacebut you can probably heavily infer from it's gui
00:25.03frabbitit a very long passphrase with all types of characters
00:25.17frabbitin the router manaul? lol no way xD
00:25.27gnarfacei think the iwconfig manpage contains the /etc/network/interfaces file notation for various password types
00:25.36frabbitits just a thre pages "long" comic book
00:25.49frabbit*three
00:26.01frabbitok
00:27.44gnarfacei'd have to dig out an old machine to check but i just remember having to prepend "s:" to certain passwords or there would be a parsing error
00:27.52gnarfacesomething like that
00:28.02gnarfacethe man pages are there so we don't have to remember every detail
00:28.15gnarfacebut once you get this working, i recommend you make a backup of that file
00:34.58frabbitim fucked up atm
00:35.16frabbitdidnt want to spend so much time again on computer stuff today
00:35.43gnarfacei don't blame you, but to some degree you only make it worse by thinking like that
00:36.09frabbitisnt there any step by step (video) tutorial?
00:36.21gnarfacemaybe but not that i know of
00:36.38gnarfacei had to learn to do this the hard way, before there were video tutorials
00:37.02gnarfacepart of the issue is that too much of the setup is going to be router specific
00:37.03frabbitit sucks that there a tons of tutorials for this gui shit: click here click here click here thasts it, but it lacks of terminal tutorials, espacially on yt
00:37.56frabbitwho needs all this etwok manager tutorials? you can click on that icon and see enable wifi or whatever, no one need a tutorial 4 that!
00:38.03frabbit*network manager
00:38.17gnarfaceheh, yea there's a real social barrier there.  once you absorb enough of the text you start neglecting the videos, but the video people neglect the text too...

00:40.06frabbitsometimes its good to have also visual and sound stuff for learning, i mean this is the oldest, most intuitive and efficent way how humans learn, not reading
00:40.58gnarfaceyea, it's true, but it's just very expensive to stick on the internet.  text is comparatively cheap, and again there's the generational thing;  most of us had reading beaten into us (sometimes literally)
00:41.42gnarfacepeople of that generation will tend to suggest you solve your reading problem before you solve your networking problem
00:41.43frabbitno one would say: hey read all that good books about martial arts and then fight against this expert fighter over there, im sure it wil be a fair fight. xD
00:41.56gnarfacehah, true
00:42.17frabbityeah
00:42.21gnarfacebut luckily the computer won't beat you up if you let your guard down (probably)
00:42.32frabbitlol
00:43.26frabbitbut there are some good tutorials for some stuff, ive found some good video tutorials for bash, lua and misc minimal terminal stuff
00:44.00MinceR"A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing."

00:47.49frabbitManaging Wireless LAN on Command Line in Linux: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVqkldgPjjo
00:48.01frabbitbut 8 years old
00:49.26gnarfacefrabbit: one thing is, you should also be able to completely define the wifi connection with just iwconfig and ifconfig commands.  maybe if you're having trouble with the /etc/network/interfaces syntax, try testing bare iwconfig and ifconfig commands for comparison, maybe it'll be easier to see the mistake that way
00:49.51gnarface(also maybe easier to see the relevant errors)
00:50.46frabbitis the device name of my wlan stick a sensible information that i shouldnt share?
00:51.20gnarfacewlan0?  probably not
00:51.29gnarfaceor the model#?  probably not either
00:51.32frabbitno its not wlan0
00:51.46gnarfacethe wifi router itself, yea don't tell people the model of that unless it's desperate
00:51.51frabbitor the information interfaces contains?
00:52.06gnarfacethe password and SSID are highly sensitive, obviously
00:52.13frabbitip gateway etc.
00:52.21gnarfacethe internal LAN ip addresses less so, the public addresses very much so
00:52.22frabbitgnarface: haha =D
00:52.40frabbitlike my keys? ;P
00:52.52gnarfaceright.  make sure /etc/network/interfaces is not globally readable
00:52.59frabbitit isnt
00:53.11frabbitbut i wanted to paste it to show you
00:53.15frabbitso i wont then...
00:53.36frabbitor wait ill set placeholders
00:53.45gnarfaceoh.  yea i wouldn't paste it unless you swap out all the ip addresses and authentication info out with fake stuff
00:54.35frabbitok so i sticked in the wlan usb and runned ip a
00:54.49frabbitit shows up there at third place after lo and eth
00:54.59gnarfacewell that's progress
00:55.57frabbitthe name of that devices i copied into interfaces on a line #iface DEVICENAME inet static
00:56.02frabbit*device
00:56.30gnarfaceshould be correct
00:56.40frabbitbelow that i have just copied the address netmask and gateway line that i use for eth
00:56.48gnarfaceexcept it would be "iface DEVICENAME inet dhcp" if you're using dhcp
00:56.58frabbitall lines are disabled with # at the beginning atm
00:57.06frabbitgnarface: no i dont
00:57.11frabbiti use static
00:57.48gnarfacedid you say you had a "gateway" line under eth0 before?
00:57.57frabbityes
00:58.08gnarfaceyou gotta move that to the wifi device
00:58.27frabbit02:54 < frabbit> below that i have just copied the address netmask and gateway line that i use for eth
00:58.39gnarfaceoh, ok yes, you said that
00:58.46frabbitgateway is the router right?
00:59.04gnarfaceyes, router's internal ("LAN") ip
00:59.08frabbitok =)
00:59.30gnarfacenote that it might be in a different subnet than the wired ethernet though... this is one of the things you have to actually check in the router
00:59.42gnarfacethey vary too much to guess
00:59.48frabbitso no i just have to run "ifdown eth0" to disable my current connection, then disable the eth lines in interfaces and enable the wlan ones
00:59.52gnarfacesome bridge with the physical ethernet, some set up an entirely separate range by default
00:59.59frabbitoh...
01:00.12gnarfaceyea
01:00.25frabbitok i look at the router gui...
01:00.39gnarfaceso you might not be able to just copy the lines from eth0 to the wlan0 or whatever it's called... you might have to actually change the subnet.  check the router gui
01:01.38gnarfaceconsumer devices are all over the board on this behavior and you can't trust them to "do what's sane" in the best of cases, but you're at an important crossroads in your knowledge level, where the very concept of "do what's sane" is going to become a moving target in your head soon
01:02.23gnarfaceif you run "/sbin/route -n" with eth0 as your connection, then run it again after switching to wifi, you can see by the different output if the gateway is correct
01:04.21frabbiti cant find any information about gateway stuff in the router gui (its a shitty router...)
01:04.53frabbit/sbin/route -n? ok i will do this now, so im disconnected for a moment
01:06.11gnarfacebasically, see how "UG" is on a line that ends with "eth0" ?
01:06.40gnarfaceyou need to have only one "UG" line, and it needs to be on the device you're actually using, so it'll have to be on a line that ends with the name of your wifi device instead
01:06.58gnarfacethis is just a sanity check you can use when you're done to make sure it's right
01:08.16gnarfacethere are advanced situations where you might need two gateways simultaneously, but for now just consider that a broken configuration
01:08.29frabbitback
01:08.44frabbitso /sbin/route -n has the same gateway on both
01:09.11gnarfaceyou mean it stays on eth0 even when you switch to wifi?
01:09.12frabbitbut i have no connection so, probably because i need to enter my passphrase somewhere before
01:09.22gnarfacepossibly
01:09.33gnarfacetoo many possibilities for me to know
01:09.52*** join/#devuan frabbit (~free_rabb@unaffiliated/free-rabbit/x-8401877)
01:10.44frabbitso where to enter this?
01:11.13frabbitin some config file? is there a terminal prompt?

01:19.27gnarfacefrabbit: that's the thing, there's nowhere else to put it but /etc/network/interfaces, in this scenario
01:19.43gnarfacefrabbit: that's why i suggested trying it by iwconfig instead as a test
01:22.26frabbit=o ! u mean saving the passphrase in plaintext in interfaces?
01:22.59gnarfaceyea, that's why i said to make sure it's not globally readable.  but really only root should be able to read it (this is NOT the default)
01:23.15frabbitwhat?
01:23.19frabbitwait
01:23.34frabbitwhat the heck?!
01:23.47frabbiti can cat it into my term here!... o_0
01:23.48gnarfacethe heck indeed
01:25.03frabbitok ive runed chmod 600 /etc/network/interfaces
01:25.13frabbitwhy is that not root only?
01:25.18frabbitby default?
01:25.55gnarfacebecause by default you're not expected to put passwords in there
01:26.03frabbitwipes his ~/.bash_history
01:26.07gnarfaceremember, this network setup predates wireless networking
01:26.19frabbitok
01:26.49gnarfacehttp://paste.debian.net/1149478/
01:26.50gnarfacehere
01:26.56gnarfacean example using dhcp
01:27.45frabbitthat wpa-psk is the passphrase?
01:27.47gnarfacebut in the past i've had to set other stuff, like wpa-driver, wpa-ssid, wpa-pairwise, wpa-group, wpa-key-mgmt, wpa-proto..... all kinds of stuff for less compatible routers
01:28.10gnarfaceyes, wpa-psk is the passphrase for wpa and wpa2... note that for wep it's actually something else (and has a different format)
01:28.23frabbitok ive wpa2 here
01:28.43frabbitthe only trustable thing as far as i understood...
01:28.58gnarfaceyea, nobody is using WEP anymore, i just mention it so you don't get confused looking at really old documentation
01:29.12frabbitgnarface: thy for the hint =)
01:29.15frabbit*thx
01:29.46frabbitok so i can now add the ssid and the psk and do that thing again i did a few minutes ago right?
01:29.56gnarfaceifup wlan0?
01:30.01gnarfacein theory
01:30.02frabbityeah

01:48.13frabbiti have output of ifup and mesg here
01:48.18frabbit*dmesg
01:48.44frabbitand in demsg isnt written foobar becomes ready
01:49.30frabbitwhen i use the eth it says at last eth0 becomes ready
01:51.04gnarfaceso it starts to handshake and doesn't complete
01:51.20gnarfacethere could be a lot of reasons for that, but my first guess would be the static ip is refused by the router
01:51.29gnarfaceor maybe the gateway is wrong?
01:51.47gnarface"... becomes ready" might even be printed if the gateway is wrong though, not sure
01:51.47frabbitgnarface: how to find ot?
01:52.07frabbitgnarface: but it wasnt printed for the wlan
01:52.07gnarfacewell the first thing i'd do is check the router's GUI to make sure i'm even using the right IP range...
01:52.40gnarfaceyou could try DHCP to see what it assigns you, then guess from that

01:55.12frabbitingnain the end i had to reinstall devuan....
01:55.25frabbit*in the end
01:56.53frabbitwhats whith that first suggest by you?
01:57.07frabbitright ip range
01:58.02*** join/#devuan fred`` (fred@earthli.ng)
02:00.41gnarfacefrabbit: well, the router will default to some *specific* ip range, and if your static setting is not in that range it won't work.
02:00.57gnarfacefrabbit: and that specific ip range may be different for the wireless and wired networks
02:01.33gnarfacei can't tell you much more than that without seeing the router's gui myself
02:02.07frabbitwhat do i have to look 4?
02:02.37gnarfaceit's probably with or near the wifi and dhcp settings
02:03.03gnarfacei'd expect the manual to mention it
02:03.10gnarfacebut i'd also expect you to be able to change it from the gui
02:03.34frabbitas i said the manual is a three sites comic book...
02:03.59frabbitgnarface: yeah i can change different addresses there
02:04.00gnarfaceyou're sure the router supports this wifi device, right?
02:04.24frabbitzeyes ive used it with my phone
02:04.24gnarfacethere can be different types of wireless... 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, etc etc
02:04.28frabbit*yes
02:04.55frabbitin replicant u need an external wifi device
02:05.18frabbitand ive used that device that im using atm on my laptop
02:05.25frabbiti have no other either
02:05.26gnarfacei'm sure it works with your phone, but that's not what i asked, i asked if you're sure THIS wifi device works with the router (the one you're trying to get working in the linux box right now... it's been used with this router before?  yes or no?)
02:05.41frabbityes
02:05.48frabbiti have only one router
02:05.55gnarfaceok
02:06.00frabbitso i use that router for my phone too
02:06.19gnarfacewhen you try to get it to connect, how long do you wait?
02:06.22frabbitok i also have a libre router, but i couldnt get that thing to work before...
02:06.37frabbitthe phone?
02:06.44gnarfaceno, the linux box
02:06.53frabbitthe laptop u mean?
02:06.55gnarfaceyes
02:07.01frabbitwith eth or wlan?
02:07.09gnarfacewlan... might take 60 seconds
02:07.14gnarfaceusually it's much faster but it could take up to a minute
02:07.18frabbitoh ok didnt know this o_0
02:07.34frabbiti quit after 10 seconds or so ^_^
02:07.45frabbitso i try again
02:07.59gnarfacewhen it works you should be able to ping the gateway
02:08.13frabbitoh i pinged my webmailer
02:08.21frabbitbut that didnt worked
02:08.40frabbitso wait a minute and ping the gateway address ok got it

02:56.54gnarfaceoh man
02:57.07gnarfacei'm sorry dude, looks like a bug.  but maybe get real close to the router and see if it says?
02:57.37gnarfaceimportant part is... first it says authenticated, then associated, then deauthenticating Reason: DEAUTH_LEAVING...
02:57.48gnarfacewhich i'm guessing means it thinks you logged off
02:58.03gnarfaceif it immediately logs you off thinking you logged off, that sounds like a known bug i've heard of
02:58.03frabbit"but maybe get real close to the router and see if it says?" err.. what?
02:58.12gnarfaceoh, i think maybe also could be a signal issue
02:58.18gnarfaceor some other interference
02:58.48frabbithm i think the last one is when i run ifdown on the wlan
02:59.11gnarfaceoh, that is you actually doing it then?  if so then, from this it just seems like it's working
02:59.15gnarfacethere's no sign of an error here in that case
02:59.31gnarfacei'm still outta ideas
02:59.38gnarfacereally might be the ip range thing...
02:59.53frabbitgnarface: i think so i didnt looked at dmesg before run ifdown
03:00.00gnarfacei'm going afk for a while but i'll be back later if you come up with any more evidence

Devuan ascii has version 2.1.18. were that security fixes backported to versions wich are older then 2.2.8 or how was that handled?

13:41.31frabbitanyone about the gpg vulnerability?
13:42.02frabbiti dont understand how these things handeled. does the version not matter?
13:42.22enycfrabbit: normally debian patch packages rather than changing whole verison , in most cases,  but exceptions exist
13:42.32enycfrabbit: normally devian passes most debian packages stragiht through to devuan users
13:43.46frabbitand how can i see if that security patch is in a specific version of a programm?
13:45.33frabbiti know that normally the third number of a version number is the patch number
13:46.04frabbitso here at my devuan ascii gpg 2.1.18 means there was 18 patches since version 2.1
13:46.41frabbitbut gpg project says that they fixed that SigSpoof issue in version 2.2.8
13:46.45frabbitso...
13:46.51frabbitits totally confusing
13:47.34frabbitis some of the 18 patches in devuans 2.1 gpg identically with the patch 8 in gpg 2.2?
13:47.43frabbithow to identify that?
13:48.14frabbitwhen theres a changelog for gpg it will say the patch came with 2.2.8
13:52.14frabbithttps://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2018-12020
13:55.11frabbitso.. is this the fixed gpg version in debian: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/DSA-4224-1
13:55.22frabbit1.4.18-7+deb8u5
13:58.45frabbitits not really evident to me... and even for no one who is not a dev or geek or whatever.. its confusing
13:59.38frabbiti mean if theres a news that says we fixed xy in distro xy thats easy to understand.
13:59.54fsmithreddoes gpg still work?
14:00.08frabbitfsmithred: huh? o_0
14:00.15fsmithredHere, it seems to be broken more often than not.
14:00.35frabbitfor me its working
14:00.50fsmithreddo you know a keyserver that really exists and works?
14:01.10frabbitoh that doesnt work for me too
14:01.21frabbiti always download keys manually
14:01.27frabbitfrom websites
14:01.39fsmithredI used to use pgp.mit.edu but it doesn't seem to work any more.
14:02.43frabbitfsmithred: do u know where in that debian versin number i can see the patch 8 from ggp 2.2?
14:04.57fsmithrednot sure what you're asking. You linked a page that shows a fix applied to an older version of gnupg.
14:05.38frabbiti mean stable debian was jessie when that fix came and it had a different version number, because programs in stable are always older then the newest release of that program.
14:06.25frabbitbut shouldnt there a unified indicator for such fixes that is evidend for all kind of versions of a program no matter what distro?
14:06.54frabbitfsmithred: there was this SigSpoof vulnerability in gpg 2018
14:07.06frabbitgpg team fixed that with 2.2.8
14:08.10frabbitthe version number of the version gpg was in debian stable at that time seems to be 1.4.18
14:08.23fsmithredlook at the page for the CVE
14:08.37frabbitfsmithred: yeah ive done this and its confusing
14:08.58fsmithredwhat cve is it? I see two for 2018

14:10.44fsmithredhttps://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2018-12020
14:10.51fsmithredappears to be fixed in jessie

14:11.08frabbitive posted that link already
14:11.21frabbitthats not the point
14:12.33frabbiti mean there should be an indicator in the versionnumber itself that shows if all available security fixes are in that specific version or not
14:12.40frabbitfor example
14:13.05fsmithredhow the hell would they know that?
14:13.19frabbitgpg 2.2.8 was the the gpg version that came with that fix for the SigSpoof issue
14:13.41*** join/#devuan bsd4me (~me@98-106-74-65.gci.net)
14:13.45fsmithredread the changelog for the package to see when specific bugs are closed
14:13.48frabbitat this tim the gpg version in debian stabel was 1.4
14:14.41frabbitat that day debian bring that fix to their old version of gpg it was marked as the patch 18 of their gpg version 1.4 correct?
14:15.30frabbitbut there should be a suffix that indicate this fix
14:15.35fsmithredI don't know about patch numbers, but I can see that they did patch the 1.4 version
14:15.51fsmithredthe suffix indicates the iteration of the update
14:16.03frabbitfor example -s8 for the patch in gpg 2.2
14:16.22frabbitso the debian version should named 1.4-s8
14:16.28fsmithredyou asking to change the package naming conventions
14:16.44frabbityes
14:16.54fsmithreddeb8u5 means jessie, fifth update of this package
14:16.57frabbitor im asking why they are so confusing
14:17.11frabbityeah thats what i know
14:17.19fsmithredbecause it's the debian way?
14:17.28onefangSome package updates include a LOT of security bug fixes.  That wouldn't work to include that info in the version number.
14:17.39onefangRead the release notes.
14:17.49frabbitonefang: why?
14:17.59onefangThere's even an apt add on that makes that very easy.
14:18.15onefangSo you can find the information you want to somehov encode in the version numbers.
14:18.15frabbitevery new fix could just add the number the devs of the programm used as their patch number
14:18.36onefangAnd if there's a dozen patches?
14:18.48frabbit-s6472829
14:19.04frabbitis there a lack of space in a line=
14:19.05frabbit?
14:19.23frabbit-s6472829 would be 6 million patches...
14:19.49frabbitits still short, 7 letters
14:20.13frabbitdeb8u5 is six letters
14:20.15onefangWhy would that be less confusing that reading actual descriptions in release notes?
14:20.28frabbitonefang: because every distro has its own
14:21.03frabbitso for a specific distro i need to check their specific release page on foobar.somewhere.org
14:21.18frabbitinstead of just running the version option with that program
14:21.25frabbitgpg --version
14:21.30onefangNope.
14:21.45frabbitonefang: what nope?
14:23.02onefangInstall apt-listchanges, and it will show you the release notes when you update a package.  This will include CVE numbers and actual descriptive text.  With an option to email it to you once installed.
14:23.08fsmithredthe version number will have the cve numbre of every patched vulnerability?
14:23.40frabbitif gpg releases a security fix and use the naming convention -s123 every distro could just add that suffix to its package version number as it adds that patch
14:24.19frabbitdebian: gpg --version 1.4-s123  --  arch: gpg --version 1.9-s123 and so on...
14:24.55frabbitonefang:  ok interessting didnt know that
14:25.06frabbitonefang: but not every distro have apt
14:25.08onefangSo you get MyGreatPackage-1.4-s123-s456-s789-s485-s23763-s13487697654-s12354854
14:25.18frabbitonefang: no
14:25.45onefangYes, coz not all packages get these patches applied all at once, some distros pick and choose.
14:26.00frabbitgpg 2.2-s123 means the 123 security patch for that program, no matter what version (2.2 here) it has
14:26.19onefangAnd CVE numbers are the industry standard for numbering these things.  They are longer than s123.
14:26.44frabbitthe hundred and twenty-three patch for that program since the first version of that program was released
14:26.53frabbit*security-patch
14:27.09onefangThings don't work like that.  This is what we are trying to tell you.
14:27.19onefangTher are multipel patches, NOT
14:27.22frabbitonefang: no u dont understand me
14:27.28frabbit16:23 < onefang> So you get MyGreatPackage-1.4-s123-s456-s789-s485-s23763-s13487697654-s12354854
14:27.34frabbitthat indictaes that...
14:27.44onefangThere are multiple patches, NOT just a single patch that includes everything.
14:27.51frabbit*facepalm*
14:27.55frabbiti didnt said that
14:28.25frabbitif theres a security issues it will be patched correct?
14:28.41frabbit*issue
14:28.51onefangThere will be one or more patches for EACH security issue.
14:28.57frabbityeah
14:29.14frabbitso for example theres security issue foobar
14:29.33frabbitand the actual version of the affected version ist 1.2
14:29.49frabbitthe fix needs 3 patches
14:30.07frabbitthen the version would called 1.2-s3 after the patches
14:30.27onefangAnd the other six security issues?
14:30.47frabbit-sSUMMARY-OF-SECURITY-PATCHES-HERE-THE-PROGRAM-GOT-SINCE-ITS-FIRST-RELEASE
14:31.13frabbitonefang: after 1.2-s3 there come 6 new patches u mena?
14:31.17frabbit*mean
14:31.36onefangMyGreatPackage-1.4-s123-s456-s789-s485-s23763-s13487697654-s12354854  It gets unwieldy very quickly.
14:31.38frabbit1.2-s9 would be the most up to date version then
14:31.45frabbitdude...

14:32.21onefangYou are assuming that all distros apply all patches in the exact same order.
14:32.44onefangIt doesn't work like that.

14:33.32fsmithrednot always
14:33.37frabbitfsmithred: yes
14:33.43frabbitand thats the point
14:33.49fsmithredsome vulnerabilities are left unpatched
14:34.18frabbitwith a unified suffix for the security fixes in the version number u could easily see that
14:35.23frabbit"look distro xy still has -s123 but newest is -s124"
14:35.27fsmithredI'm not getting how that would be easy
14:35.33fsmithredwhat's 124 mean?
14:35.38fsmithredwhat's 3?
14:35.48fsmithredthat's on another chart somewhere
14:35.49frabbitthe 124 security patch of that program
14:36.16fsmithredI need a table to convert CVE to single digit patch
14:36.16onefangAnd how does this 3 relate to the CVE you just read about in an article?
14:36.29frabbitcve doesnt matter
14:36.35fsmithred???
14:36.55onefangCVEs matter to the rest of the world.  That IS the unified numbering system you want us to reinvent.
14:36.59frabbitgpg devs see "oh theres a security problem" they make a fix
14:37.17frabbitit doesnt matter to the version number
14:37.32onefangExactly our point.
14:37.39frabbitfine
14:37.44fsmithredthe CVE number is how you find the description of the vulnerability
14:37.46onefangThat's why they mention CVEs in release notes.  B-)
14:37.49frabbiti didnt offered that

14:39.17onefangNo, you offered a long string of random random digits in version numbers that are as meaningless as what you are trying to replace.  It's no less confusing, which was your initial issue.
14:39.37frabbitmy point is to see with just a --version option if a program is up to date with the available security fixes for that program (not up to date with the newest features of that program)
14:39.55frabbitonefang: no tahts what u still think
14:40.15frabbithow many security patches has gpg got since its first release?
14:41.04frabbiti need a number
14:41.41onefangAnd how many of those may or may not have been applied to the three year old version in ASCII, with some being skipped for good reasons?  Which would completely invalidate simply reporting a count.
14:42.05frabbitonefang: "skipped for good reasons" ?
14:42.21frabbitskip a security fix for good reasons? o_0
14:42.54onefangDidn't apply security issue 123, coz that only applies to a bug introduced in a later version, but we included 124, coz that applies.
14:43.21frabbithmm...
14:43.31frabbitthats a point then finally
14:43.44onefangsmiles and heads to bed.
14:44.06frabbitbut then still one could use the -s suffix
14:44.43frabbitits then for all distros with that specific release version of that program
14:45.06onefangIt'll be up to you to convince ALL the developers to include that in their --version output.  Good luck.
14:45.51frabbitso programm-1.4-s3 in debian would be the same as programm-1.4-s3 in arch, but different from programm-1.5-s3 in gentoo or something...
14:46.23fsmithredand you realize that it's useless to talk to us about it, because we have no power to change it.
14:46.43frabbitonefang: i wont. but it would be easier to see if a program has newest security fixes, without visting a website first....
14:47.11frabbitfsmithred: i didnt want "you" to change it =D
14:47.52frabbitall taht talk started because of my confusion about that fix for the SigSpoof issue
14:47.55frabbitin gpg
14:48.40frabbitits a bit meta about that topic anyway....

22:28.54gnarfacei have to assume there's certainly a simpler solution i just don't know what it is.  emacs was one of the first linux programs i was exposed to and i shamelessly use it for all kinds of things nothing else can do

23:14.19frabbiti have only wrote ipv4 addresses in interfaces...
23:14.30frabbitor is that in the router?
23:14.52gnarfacewell, it's both really
23:14.58frabbitlooks at his stupid isp roter that has its own will...
23:15.15frabbitgnarface: ok so router ionly here... =(
23:15.19frabbit*only
23:16.30gnarfacewell, the trick is if your virtual servers don't support ipv6 then nothing inside them will either
23:17.18gnarfacebut most services should be able to be set to listen onlyl on a specific ip
23:17.23gnarfaceonly*
23:17.42gnarfacethe sshd_config defaults to listening on all, but it's simple to change
23:18.15frabbithmm.. in the router is no ipv6 address...
23:18.25frabbitit sazs i have only i ipv4 one
23:18.29frabbit*says
23:18.34gnarfaceif your router and your ISP won't pass ipv6 traffic then it's only relevant on your LAN anyway

23:19.14frabbitoh wait there is one!
23:19.30frabbitLAN IPv6 Address
23:20.33gnarfacei can't imagine a single advantage to having IPV6 that's LAN-side-only on a LAN with only 1 machine
23:21.02frabbitIT SEEMS THAT I CANT DISABLE IT... O_0
23:21.09frabbitoh sorry
23:21.12frabbitcaps lock
23:21.52frabbitthe menu where that addres can be found says that it is possible that i cannot connect to my router anymore when i change something there...
23:22.26frabbitULA, MTU... i dont have a clue whats this...
23:23.49gnarfaceMTU should be 1500 don't change it
23:23.53gnarfacei don't know what ULA is
23:24.29frabbitgnarface: probably german translation... wait...
23:24.53frabbitUnique Local Address?
23:25.16gnarfacemaybe the same as the gateway IP?
23:25.20gnarfaceor the public IP?
23:25.21gnarfacei don't know
23:25.32gnarfacemaybe it's the MAC address
23:25.51gnarfaceor just the ipv6 one
23:26.09frabbiten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_local_address
23:26.43MinceRUncommitted Logical Array
23:27.18frabbitMinceR: thats what ive found too, but that doesnt make sence in that context ;)

23:29.05frabbitlol
23:29.52frabbitgnarface: ive stopped ssh with "service ssh stop"

23:31.06frabbitcan i prevet ssh startin automaticallz while booting the computer? i just want to start it manually if i need ssh
23:31.11frabbit*prevent
23:31.33frabbitoh these typos makes me crazy....
23:32.10gnarfaceyou can override daemon startups by manipulating the symlinks in the /etc/rc?.d/ directories
23:32.26gnarfacethere's a utility to change them in groups called update-rc.d (check the man page)
23:32.38gnarfacebut you can just change them by hand too
23:32.46frabbitah ok cool. thx =>
23:36.03*** join/#devuan Uberius (~Uberius@gateway/tor-sasl/uberius)
23:37.28frabbitupdate-rc.d ssh disable
23:37.35frabbitwill that work?
23:37.49gnarfaceuh, i think so, or something similar anyway
23:38.05frabbitbut i cant break anything with that?
23:38.29gnarfaceyou can but in this case you probably won't because you shouldn't have anything else on the system named ssh
23:39.11frabbitgnarface: how could u know? =o
23:39.15frabbit=)
23:39.42gnarfacewell i know there's only one debian package that provides /etc/init.d/ssh so if you have another one then your problem is self-inflicted
23:40.39frabbitok =)
23:40.46frabbitdone
23:40.56frabbitoutput is: insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (empty) of script `ssh' overrides LSB defaults (2 3 4 5).
23:41.07frabbitand: insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (2 3 4 5) of script `ssh' overrides LSB defaults (empty).
23:41.29gnarfaceyea it'll probably complain about that at every boot now but it will also not start it anymore
23:41.33frabbitis that.. fine?
23:41.42gnarfaceyes, that's fine
23:41.45frabbitcool! =D

23:42.17frabbitand whe i want to start ssh i just run the service command
23:42.46gnarfaceyes, these commands should be basically equivalent:  "service ssh start"   and    "/etc/init.d/ssh start"
23:42.59frabbitah i see
23:43.34frabbitive rent a virtual server and that thing has several ports open
23:44.06frabbitsome ports must be open so i can connect but probably not all of them...
23:44.15gnarfaceif it's devuan then all the other services should be able to be started and stopped in the same way
23:44.40frabbitits debian (didnt figured out yet hoe to install devuan there)
23:44.48frabbit*how
23:45.44frabbitfirst thing i learned was how to log in there and then how to copy files there
23:45.53frabbitwith ssh and scp
23:46.10frabbitits my first server
23:47.10gnarfaceoh, congrats
23:47.11frabbitbtw debian was installed by default i didnt choose debian there, but the alternatives are ubuntu and... mint i think?
23:47.16gnarfacessh and scp are super useful
23:47.20frabbitgnarface: thank you! =D
23:47.43frabbitgnarface: yeah that was pretty cool to get my stuff there
23:48.55frabbitah.. im ot again... =/
23:50.01gnarfaceyou might be able to upgrade the VPS in place to devuan, i've succeeded at that before for some of them, but you might not want to risk it.  even if you succeed i can't speak personally for how the hosting provider will feel about that (some may not care, some do)
