00:57.49frabbitok i have 2 new problems here on two different computers, with different setups of devuan 2.1
00:58.56*** join/#devuan silentjet (~jet@staticline-31-182-193-145.toya.net.pl)
00:59.18frabbit1. i purged iptables yesterday from my computer and installed nftables. after boot i normally run a script that contains "ifup -v eth0" to bring up the connection i wrote in /etc/network/interfaces
01:00.21frabbitthis time it ends up with "ifup failed to bring up eth0" and some notce about firewall scripts from iptables that couldnt be found
01:00.40frabbitbut i could run apt update and now im here... o_=
01:01.08frabbitif i run ifdown i get eth0 is not configured...
01:01.58frabbitdoes nftables not use the interface file? does it bring up a available connection automatically while booting?
01:03.14frabbittheres no dhcp here or something like that. and theres no hotplug in interfaces (but even if, that doesnt matter at all, cause interfaces seems to be ignored by that inknown thing that brings my connection up...)
01:03.27frabbit*unknown
01:03.46frabbitthats my first problem
01:05.18frabbit2. on the other computer running minmal xfce and other beginner stuff, it often crashes after login to a xfce4 session via slim, but only since ive installed wlan stuff
01:05.31gnarfacewell, when i use iptables, i have to set up my own scripts to start it, so my guess is you installed something to do that for you and forgot to remove it, and that's what is choking, probably
01:05.31Oksana1. No idea. https://wiki.nftables.org/wiki-nftables/index.php/Moving_from_iptables_to_nftables No idea.
01:05.57frabbiti installed the open firmware driver for atheros, wireless-tools wpasupplicant and wicd-gtk
01:07.03frabbityesterday i tried to figured out what causes this crash and i rollback the system to the point before io installed the wlan packages
01:08.15frabbiti installed one packages after the other and made a reboot after every single package. i first thought it was wicd-gtk, but it worked after that too... but last evening and now (i was testing again) it crashes again...
01:08.20gnarfacefor #2 you're gonna have to get an error message or something at least
01:08.34gnarfaceor maybe try to get wifi up without the gui on that one, see if it still crashes
01:09.05frabbitit wont if i get wifi up with wicd-gtk ive tested that several times
01:09.13frabbityeah i check x logs
01:09.58frabbitfor #1: i didnt know that i have to do something while changing... i had never configured anything manually in iptables...
01:10.14gnarfacecertainly you must have installed some front-end for it
01:10.28frabbitfor iptabels?
01:10.32gnarfaceyes
01:10.51gnarfaceotherwise you would have had to write the iptables commands yourself by hand and add them to your init by hand somehow
01:10.56gnarface<PROTECTED>
01:11.07frabbitcant remember why i should do this, ive never get into that iptables stuff before...
01:11.20gnarfacewhat does this show you?  dpkg -l |grep iptable
01:11.51frabbitnothing
01:12.33frabbitlooks atm what frontends are there for iptables
01:13.19frabbiti didnt installed any of the ones listed here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iptables#Frontends
01:13.26frabbitand here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iptables#Front-ends
01:13.46*** join/#devuan rypervenche (~rypervenc@unaffiliated/rypervenche)
01:14.05frabbiti remeber to installed apparmor in the past, because i wanted to learn that stuff but delayed it since now. but thats something different
01:14.11gnarfacewell, what gives you that error at startup?  certainly it originated from something in /etc/init.d/
01:14.13frabbit*remember
01:15.02frabbitah forgot to notic, because i was in panic nftables broke my inet connection so irunned my script again adn it begins with reset &&
01:15.10frabbit*notice
01:15.23gnarfacethat's a really important detail
01:15.25frabbitbut i look if i can find output
01:15.29gnarfacenot just for this, but for every time it happens
01:15.47gnarfacestartup errors are going to almost 100% come from either the kernel itself or one of the services
01:15.48frabbitah its probably in dmesg
01:16.38gnarfaceyes, other notable spots though:  /var/log/syslog, /var/log/daemon.log, and /var/log/kern.log
01:17.04gnarfaceor really just anything in /var/log/ should be suspect until you know what it is for
01:17.22gnarfacethat directory is there for you, for exactly situations like this
01:17.22frabbitin dmesg its just abot bringing up etho via ipv6? o_0
01:17.27frabbit*about
01:17.45gnarfacethere's every possibility ipv6 could have something to do with this
01:18.19gnarfacemaybe that's the gotcha - something about a difference in how iptables and nftables handle ipv6
01:18.44frabbitin /var/log/syslog is the same as in dmesg
01:18.52frabbitchecking other two
01:18.54gnarfaceit should be, mostly.  that's expected
01:18.56frabbit*logs
01:19.02*** join/#devuan silentjet (~jet@staticline-31-182-193-145.toya.net.pl)
01:19.04gnarfacethere should be a lot of overlap in syslog, dmesg, and kern.log
01:19.28gnarfacedaemon.log is more about what happens to the services after boot
01:20.21frabbitin /var/log/daemon.log only about gpm (terminal mouse) and lvmetad, is the last one important for that issue?
01:20.54gnarfaceuh... no idea.  never heard of lvmetad.  (i think now though you probably know why i'd do something like advise you to still use iptables despite what Debian's wiki suggests, though)
01:20.57frabbitin /var/log/kern.log the same as in dmesg again
01:21.26frabbitgnarface: huh? debian changed too nftables since buster
01:22.00gnarfacedon't "huh?" me.  the justification for my rationale is right under your nose.  if it were any closer it would bite you.
01:24.14*** join/#devuan Xenguy (~Xenguy@devuan/community/Xenguy)
01:26.23frabbitis huh a bad word?
01:27.27frabbit9i thought its like "Hä?" i german but "Hä?" is "Eh?" in english...
01:28.15frabbithmm.. but it is too: https://www.dict.cc/?s=Huh
01:29.41frabbitso no bad word here
01:29.55frabbitok so it has something to do with ipv6
01:36.01frabbithm.. so nftables brought up a connection via ipv6 here? ive checked my publich ip and it is ipv4 like in the past...
01:36.13frabbit*public
01:37.27gnarfaceno it's not that "huh?" is a bad word, it's just that i've repeatedly reiterated that iptables has more testing in the wild, and that switching to nftables might bring unforseen compatibility issues.  i'm not insulted by the word "huh?" i'm insulted that you are failing to hear me say "i told you so."
01:38.02gnarfacei don't know specifically what's wrong with nftables here, i just vaguely remember testing it and immediately going back to iptables because it didn't work for whatever i was doing.
01:38.22gnarfaceadmittedly that was many years ago, but i'm not seeing any evidence presented by you that the situation has changed
01:38.57frabbiti did read that
01:39.18gnarfaceand no, i'm not some sort of iptables fanboy.  i hate it too.  BSD has done this far better with packetfilter
01:39.45frabbitbut im not a man who went back to something in the past when something new causes issues... except they are unsolveable
01:39.51gnarfacebut when you introduce unknowns, you inherently introduce unquantifiable risk
01:40.11frabbiti didnt say that you are a fanboy... o_0
01:40.52gnarfaceand i didn't accuse you of that.  i just want to make it clear for other readers, because if they've read the last 2 days of scrollback they might mistakenly think i'm trying to defend iptables or something
01:41.03frabbiti didnt even know that (as far as i can read in ur answer) that theres a fan against fans war or something between iptables and nftables...
01:41.43gnarfacepeople are clannish, to some degree it is natural
01:41.47frabbiti dont hat iptables ive never worked with it before, i just read yesterday, that debian changed to nftables, because its mor easy to use and stuff like that...
01:42.11frabbitgnarface: those people are stupid ;)
01:42.12gnarfacesure, but clearly actually changing your stuff to it isn't quite the drop-in replacement they sold you on
01:42.22gnarfaceand that was my experience too
01:42.37gnarfacesorry i can't remember more specifics
01:42.38frabbitgnarface: o i couldnt knoew that =(
01:42.44frabbitgnarface: np
01:42.53frabbit*knew
01:43.34gnarfacei've basically pointed you in the direction i'd look to figure out what was happening, that's the best i can do right now
01:43.47gnarfacemost likely someone with more nftables experience has already run into this and can tell you a simple fix
01:44.04frabbitive met some people too who bashed me for using a non systemd distro. thats stupid! i can use what i want and they too, so everyone can be happy whats wrong with those people?...
01:44.27gnarfaceit's a discusson for #debianfork
01:44.32frabbityes =)
01:44.43frabbitok btt
01:45.28frabbitso u used nftables in the past and got problems with it. did u find it harder to use too or something, harder to learn?
01:47.15gnarfaceno, it was a situation just like this.  i tried to upgrade because i read somewhere it was new and better, but it couldn't readily prove that to me within the time i had allocated for the task so i reverted.
01:48.16gnarfacewhen you do a lot of years of sysadmin work, you eventually learn to equate all change with risk, so when you find something that works, you just stick with it as long as possible.  and situations like this are what teaches you that.
01:48.18frabbitok
01:48.51frabbitgnarface: oh no i know that and im not a sysadmin! =D
01:49.05frabbitthats fact 4 all parts of life
01:49.05gnarfaceso, to be clear, i do encourage you to spend as much time figuring this out as possible, but when you're out of time and you just need it to work, remember i advised you just stick with what already worked
01:50.05gnarfacethe only material benefit of nftables is that it's supposed to be easier to use... but it failing to work out of the box on a working configuration sortof belies that
01:50.34gnarfaceso you gotta ask yourself what is the priority goal here?  to learn nftables, or to get a working firewall...
01:50.40masonnftables does some stuff that iptables couldn't, catching Linux up to where the BSDs were in the 90s. For instance, you can address packet options with nftables.
01:51.01frabbitgnarface: i have already purged it and installed iptables again ;)
01:51.30gnarfacefrabbit: well, make sure it works once again and some config didn't get corrupted
01:51.48frabbitgnarface: i dunno how to check this... =(
01:51.51gnarfacemason: can't you do that with some iptables extensions now though?
01:52.13gnarfacefrabbit: well then how did you know it was even working before????
01:52.21masongnarface: Maybe. Unsure. I remember having to give up things like "drop all fragments" when I moved from ipf to iptables aeons ago.
01:52.32frabbitgnarface: i do not and i didnt say that
01:52.47gnarfacemason: oh, hmm. i admit that's something i only have done on BSD
01:53.04frabbiti just got iptabels error and automatically network connection without running my script first to set eth0 up
01:53.42gnarfacefrabbit: you really gotta figure out what's going on in your boot up
01:54.06frabbitgnarface: what do u mean?
01:54.23gnarfacefrabbit: i mean, this should be simple to figure out where that error is coming from exactly
01:54.47gnarfacefrabbit: the whole point of the sysv init is that it's supposed to be transparent to the administrator
01:54.57frabbiti just remember that it could find (or bring up?) firewall090 or something
01:55.15gnarfacelike as a named device?
01:55.22gnarfacethat really sounds like something you installed had to do that
01:55.23frabbiti dunno... =(
01:55.40gnarfaceyou didn't just copy any configs from elsewhere, did you?
01:55.44frabbitno
01:55.55gnarfaceit's gotta be from a package you installed then
01:56.18frabbiti didnt do anything except purging iptables with my purging script and apt install nftables thats all
01:56.20gnarfacemaybe try "dpkg -l |grep firewall" ?
01:56.26frabbitok
01:56.47frabbitno output
01:56.57gnarfacehmm.
01:57.09gnarfacetry other keywords besides firewall?
01:57.18gnarfaceanything that comes to mind that might be suspicious?
01:57.29frabbiterrm..
01:57.38frabbityou mean a placeholder like *
01:57.50gnarfacewell if you want to see the whole list just run: dpkg -l
01:57.59gnarfacethat's every installed package
01:58.03frabbityeah that what i know
01:58.11frabbitand then looking for firewall?
01:58.28gnarfaceor anything that looks like it might be the source of that error
01:58.37frabbito_0 how could i know
01:58.48frabbitbut wait
01:58.48gnarfacestring matching
01:59.05frabbityou say theres might a package left from nftables?
01:59.19gnarfaceno, that's not what i'm saying
01:59.19frabbitotr it brought one with its installation?
01:59.23frabbitoh...
02:00.12gnarfacewhat i'm saying is i think somewhere you must have brought in iptables scripts you didn't expect to have
02:00.25gnarfacethat's my guess based on the error you are reporting anyway
02:00.45gnarfaceand i don't have them even where i'm running iptables, so i'm just as in the dark as you on this
02:01.23frabbit=(
02:02.07gnarfacei've gotta eat, but i'll probably be back later
02:02.09frabbiti wil reboot now to see if my connection setup will work again like before now that ive removed nftables
02:02.15frabbit*will
02:02.16gnarfacegood luck

02:10.22frabbitill paste the output of my script that i run for connecting and update
02:11.00frabbittheres about that iptables stuff that doesnt worked with nftables (of course now theres no error)
02:13.03frabbithttps://paste.debian.net/ is unavailable
02:13.10frabbitso ill use paste2
02:13.46frabbithttps://paste2.org/V3UCH6Zm
02:14.28frabbitthese run-parts things werent working with nftables and ifup as i explained before
02:20.30frabbithowever...
02:20.40frabbitmy problem number 2
02:21.53frabbiti ve looked at .xsession-errors but that fikle is uge... >50K lines... on my computer ive a script that make my get rid of these files, empty them or what ever, but on that other computer the user doesnt run any scripts (manually)
02:22.49frabbitmaybe best to do is to clear these logs first and reboot that often (and clear the logs again...) as it takes that this issue shows up again (as i said sometimes it just works...)
02:28.33plasma41frabbit: I had issues with the .xsession-errors growing at an alarming rate recently after installing a bunch of updates. I haven't been able to pinpoint the cause, but running `> ~/.xsession-errors` from the shell will at least truncate the file size back to zero. Not a permanent solution, but allows you to recover disk space until you can reboot.

04:29.07frabbitcant find anything about that hostname thing...
04:29.36frabbitah wait!
04:30.02frabbitis it because it is the same hostname on both machines and theyre running on same network?

04:39.32frabbitbut could that caused that issues with slim / display whatever?
04:40.01frabbitprobably not because the hostnames are the same since months....

05:48.09gnarfacefrabbit: it's weird but possible in cases like this, but probably if you tested lots of other programs using the same gui toolkit you'd notice some of them occasionally causing the same problem
05:48.55gnarfacefrabbit: but that also would probably be something you could find other bug reports about (slim + particular drivers/kernels)
05:50.26gnarfacefrabbit: trying something other than slim would be a good test, too.  but if i were you i'd check on the graphics driver possibility first
05:51.10gnarfacefrabbit: to be clear though, i didn't actually look at anything you put on paste2.org
05:51.20frabbitah yeah.. theres xdg i think
05:51.26*** join/#devuan engidea (~damiano@46.141.120.243)
05:51.42gnarfacei think you mean xdm
05:51.51gnarfaceyea, i use that one
05:51.58gnarfacei mean, i've used it
05:52.03frabbitor xdm
05:52.10frabbitgnarface:  and now?
05:52.31frabbitno dm any more?
05:53.04gnarfacewell, what i mean is i usually avoid a graphical login, but xdm is the one i resorted to before when i had to setup a shared console with someone
05:53.25frabbityeah me too
05:53.32frabbitbut its not my computer
05:53.40gnarfacebecause, iirc, the default one couldn't handle dual monitors gracefully if they weren't both always on
05:53.42*** join/#devuan engidea (~damiano@46.141.120.243)
05:54.06frabbiti mean i wouldnt install any dm if theres wasnt this "time out" thing on tty login: after some time it resets
05:54.26gnarfaceuh... that timeout issue is probably dns/hostname related
05:54.42frabbitand for older personsn or chidren this can be a problem, because they cannot type so fast eventually
05:54.54frabbitgnarface: oh!
05:54.59gnarfaceno, probably not what you speculated earlier that you were reusing a hostname, since like you said the IP addresses were different, but i still suspect you made a mistake in there somewhere
05:55.03frabbitwhat do u mean
05:55.27gnarfacei just remember there could be some weird timeouts introduced if you fuck up your /etc/hosts and you're not backing it up with a fully configured local DNS
05:55.38gnarfacelike, make sure you have 127.0.0.1 defined to localhost in there
05:55.40gnarfaceor shit gets weird
05:55.59frabbitthis is tehre
05:56.03frabbit*there
05:56.32gnarfaceok, just making sure
05:56.49frabbiti never change that file except for changing the hostname
05:56.54frabbitok ;)
05:56.59gnarfacere-reading what you just typed i think you're talking about a different type of time-out than i was thinking
05:57.12frabbithm?
05:57.45gnarfacelike a long delay loading the prompt
05:57.57frabbiti mean when u wait to long the tty resets and u need to beginn again with typing in ur login name
05:58.04frabbit*wait to long at login
05:58.09gnarfaceoh, yea i misunderstood. nevermind then
05:58.14frabbitoh ok
05:58.20frabbitbut u know that?
05:58.22gnarfacexdm is unambitious, graphically.  it should work with anything
05:58.45gnarfacei did not know that slim had a login timeout but i'm not surprised
05:58.54frabbitno i mean the tty
05:59.05frabbitwhen u have black screnn and just login mask
05:59.26gnarfacehmm, i'm not sure i've seen that but honestly i've never tried leaving a half-typed in username there and come back to it hours or days later
05:59.28frabbit"localhost login:"
05:59.39gnarfaceit might be something optional you've added
05:59.50frabbitno thats not hours, thats often in under a minute!
06:00.01gnarfaceinteresting
06:00.03gnarfacemaybe it's new

09:59.06frabbitdoesnt matter i wanted to reinstall the system i will first install beowulf on, so i dont care
10:03.58gnarfacefrabbit: well so you know for next time, Debian recommends upgrading like this:  "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade"
10:04.47ShorTiei thought that they really don't think that is a good idea
10:05.07ShorTiebest to do fresh install when changing distro's
10:10.38gnarfaceShorTie: i said switching releases, not switching distros, but of course Debian would recommend NOT to migrate installs to Devuan... they strictly recommend against distro mixing, which in fact we do too
10:11.24gnarfaceShorTie: neither Debian nor Devuan recommend freshly reinstalling between release versions

19:44.04some_alexfsmithred: great, thanks! btw, is there a way to see package info like on the debian website? devuan package info website is very limited. I can't see what files a package provides, I can't download it's sources from the web, etc. etc. Is there a reason why it _that_ limited compared to debian's website?
19:44.59fsmithredinstall apt-file, run apt-file update, then apt-file list <package> or apt-file find <file>
19:45.23fsmithredapt-get source <package>
19:46.00fsmithredprobably has to do with the fact that we don't host most of the packages
19:46.08fsmithredbut that's a guess
19:46.55fsmithredif it's an un-forked package, you can download it from debian's website
19:49.15some_alexfsmithred: I know apt-file, but what if I don't have the machine at hand? Would be helpful to be able to use a website for this. Isn't debian's website open-source?

19:51.12some_alexI used parabola before devuan so I'm used to forks copying the infrastructure of the base :)
19:51.45fsmithredthere's probably a good reason why we're not using a clone of their system, but I don't know what it is.
19:52.25fsmithredyou can download our forked packages directly from pkgmaster.devuan.org, but you have to know what version you want and you have to poke around to find it.
19:52.29nemoFWIW, my question earlier about the amd firmware update, the answer is that the debian packages are all older than the AMD fix
19:52.38nemoso it could be a while before the change works its way back
19:52.55nemoso I either put up with 5%+ performance reduction or figure out how to get the firmware file dropped in the right place

20:32.06specingsome packages are more regular than others
20:33.01some_alexfsmithred: what if /boot is read-only? Will apt just fail and report it or silently ignore the need to rebuild initrd?
20:33.32fsmithredprobably get an error
20:33.58fsmithredpermission denied, I guess
20:34.04some_alexthanks!
20:34.35fsmithredI hope you're not thinking of making it read-only to prevent initrd updates
20:46.01some_alexfsmithred: no, I'm making it read-only to simplify verification of the contents of /boot. /boot is unencrypted until I flash libreboot onto my BIOS chip so I store checksums of every file in /boot to make sure it wasn't tampered with while the machine was unattended. It's fine if I have to remount it for a minute to use apt.
20:46.29fsmithredcool

22:47.33some_alexwell I checked the website and all I see is a few buttons in a language I don't know
22:50.50some_alexyes there's a script to deblob the sources recorded by the wayback machine (the original website is down at the moment) and I'll try to use it, but I prefer using distro packages whenever possible. The only program I have not from the repositories is Tor Browser which I run in a sandbox because of this. I'm also planning to create LXC containers to separate development far from my user evironment

22:59.18some_alexfsmithred: sorry for not making it clear, but I don't trust distros with almost empty website. The less info I have on something, the less I can trust it. They don't even have a signature file. Did I mention that I either read or sandbox every single script that I have to run including any plugin to any program whatsoever? :)
22:59.42some_alexsay, what would it take to add another kernel package to devuan?
22:59.52fsmithreda maintainer
23:00.06fsmithredand not a one-shot deal
23:00.26some_alexwhat are common tasks for maintainers?
23:01.03fsmithredpackaging, keeping up with the changes in the package so it's available in the next release
23:02.52fsmithreddoesn't someone package a libre kernel that works on debian?
23:05.09some_alexyou mean precompiled?
23:05.34fsmithredyeah, a deb package
23:07.59fsmithredthe debian kernel hasn't been deblobbed enough?

23:10.35ebisuHow do I disable the network check on boot? I'm using network manager and I dont like having to mach ctrl+c every boot
23:11.24some_alexfsmithred: an email from 2009 on debian-devel-announce mailing list indicates that it was decided in December 2008 to introduce the blobs
23:12.17some_alexa debian package indeed exists on the same website that hosts the code for the deblob script, the site is up now
23:12.58some_alexebisu: I'm having the same issue :(
23:13.10some_alexusing OpenRC here
23:13.19ebisuim using sysvinit
23:13.56some_alexthe network check is annoying and shouldn't even be there in the first place. Since when is network required to boot the system?
23:14.32*** join/#devuan fred`` (fred@earthli.ng)
23:15.26ebisui mean, systemd does the same thing to me on the real debian
23:15.33some_alexebisu: there's an init script called network or something like that. I was thinking of putting it into a different runlevel or changing the dependencies in some init scripts, haven't figured this out yet
23:16.30some_alexebisu: hey, I came here to not think about systemd! xD
23:16.54ebisulol
23:18.11fsmithredan easy way to turn services on/off in different runlevels is with sysv-rc-conf
23:18.29fsmithredotherwise user update-rc.d
23:18.42ebisuwhich service am i looking for?
23:18.48fsmithrednetworking
23:19.35fsmithredI guess you want to turn it off in S
23:20.14some_alexfsmithred: so my guess to put it on another runlevel is the correct solution?
23:20.15fsmithredis boot hanging while waiting for a connection?
23:20.34ebisuyes
23:20.38ebisuuntil it times out
23:20.43ebisui have network on boot cuz netowrkmanager
23:20.45some_alexwhy is it even in sysinit runlevel in the first place?
23:20.52ebisudunno
23:21.01ebisui installed sysv-rc-conf and i cant find it anywhere
23:21.13fsmithredsometimes just changing 'allow hotplug' to 'auto' do it (if you have configured /etc/network/interfaces)
23:22.30ebisuthat worked!
23:22.33ebisuthanks a bundle
23:22.55fsmithredot
23:22.58fsmithredoops
23:23.05fsmithredit's a common problem
23:23.46*** join/#devuan xcm (~xcm@ipd114.250.tellas.gr)
23:25.27fsmithredebisu, what couldn't you find?
23:25.42fsmithredsysv-rc-conf the command, or networking inside that utility?
23:25.46ebisuformer
23:25.56fsmithredyou must be root, and...
23:26.01ebisui was
23:26.04fsmithredthey changed the way root works
23:26.14fsmithredsu does not give you root's path
23:26.19ebisuohhh
23:26.21ebisuthat explains a lot
23:26.27fsmithredso use the full path to the command or use 'su -'
23:26.55fsmithredif you like to start graphical apps as root from the user's desktop, you have to do other things now
23:27.48fsmithred...or if you like to get root's path and stay in the current directory
23:35.12fsmithredif you're using network manager and you configured /etc/network/interfaces, they might fight with each other
23:41.26some_alexfsmithred: do you know why devuan uses a special file in /etc to determine its current release? The same info can be fetched from /etc/os-release, why create another distro-specific file?
23:46.22*** join/#devuan sacioz (~sacioz@170.233.51.2)
23:51.09saciozMany thanks to all of you for the stable version , Devuan devs , contributors and supporters.

23:56.39fsmithredsome_alex, probably because debian does the same
