02:46.27cloudyhi pkginfo finds netsurf netsurf-gtk and netsurf-fb in ascii and jessie, however nothing returns for any newer branch incl experimental or chimaera, https://bugs.devuan.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?which=pkg&data=netsurf-gtk also nothing of the 3 pkgs on bugs.d.o
02:47.57cloudyis this pkg no longer to be included/maintained rn? strangely https://repology.org/project/netsurf/versions lists 4.0 and unstable as having v. 3.10
02:48.47cloudyis the mistake on repology's end? should i notify them to fix/repair their db/scripts?
03:21.58cloudyif it's been removed, is there a reason? I see nothing yet...also, its missing from git.d.o

03:26.40phidouxsteam appears to be broken in beowulf because it can't install libgl1-mesa-dri due to libstdc++6 and liblvm7 dependencies which conflict
03:27.23phidouxjust ran into this issue on a machine i manage for a family member that uses an nvidia graphics card
03:42.09golinuxcloudy: That is a question for Debian not Devuan
03:42.24cloudy?
03:42.43golinuxDid we fork it at some point?
03:43.29cloudyi dont think so, but even if unforked, arent the pkgs at least copy pasta'ed to the devuan repos themselves?
03:44.11golinuxYes.
03:44.23cloudyrepology correctly reports versions in devuan 1.0 2.x, and technically in 3.0 too (it sees no versions), but somehow sees versions for 4.0 and unstable
03:44.50golinuxThe package comes directly from Debian.
03:45.19cloudyim not running devuan atm (ubuntu-deriv) but perhaps someone can confirm the netsur* pkgs are non-existent even in 4.0 and unstable branch?
03:45.31golinuxWe don't touch it or make any judgment on it.
03:45.43cloudyor ill just add those to my sources.list
03:45.48golinuxhttps://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/d1pkgweb-query?search=netsurf&release=any
03:45.57golinuxNothing after ascii.
03:46.21gnarfacecloudy: look, they pulled it from Debian too.  it's not us.  we didn't do it.  https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=netsurf&searchon=names&suite=stable&section=all
03:46.27cloudyi know, i had mentioned that
03:46.49golinuxIf debian doesn;t have it.  We won;t have it.
03:47.00cloudyim thinking maybe it was killed and repology hasnt update the missingness yet
03:47.18gnarfacecloudy: they usually have a good reason, but your only appropriate recourse is to file a bug report at bugs.debian.org.  if you want to take inappropriate recourse, just go into #debian and start a fight.
03:47.27phidouxok thanks for the info
03:47.55golinuxYou could try installing the ascii version.
03:48.08gnarfacephidoux: fundamentally your issue is the same, but they're likely to actually fix your issue on their own without intervention
03:48.24gnarfacephidoux: (steam was working here in beowulf recently)
03:48.34phidouxyes i knwo
03:48.36phidouxi know
03:48.49gnarfacephidoux: you might have luck using the kernel and mesa from beowulf-backports though.
03:48.56phidouxwhich is why i mentioned it so hope fully some one knows
03:49.08gnarfacephidoux: even if you don't need the newer versions, backports may have sidestepped whatever mess they've made currently
03:49.29cloudydebian has it in bullseye and sid, missing from buster...v strange indeed, ill talk to debian then
03:50.02phidouxi will have to see what i can work out
03:50.18phidouxgoing to reboot for now thanks
03:52.47golinuxcloudy:  If it were in bullseye if would be in our chimaera.
03:53.35gnarfacegolinux: isn't bullseye still mapped to sid/ceres?
03:53.44golinuxNo chimaera
03:53.53gnarfaceoh, i guess that makes sense
03:54.29golinuxBut I just noticed that it's still listed as unstable in the banned pkg list
03:54.54golinuxI'll go report that now
03:55.10golinuxOr not listed actually because unstable is ceres.

04:34.30cloudyand they seem to have fewer devs to do so
04:35.05cloudyany thoughts on this? are they just insane/overconfident?

06:29.16OksanaWhich network manager is recommended for usage in Devuan? I am currently using Wicd with XFCE4 desktop environment.
06:31.05OksanaI am trying to figure out how to integrate openconnect with wicd. Usually, I manually run openconnect from a terminal, with sudo. If I put openconnect command into wicd postconnect script, do I need to write sudo in the script as well, or not?
06:34.17OksanaAlso, I usually type in VPN password manually when starting openconnect from terminal. But that can probably be typed in script like https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenConnect#netctl
06:34.19gnarfaceOksana: wicd is the default for a reason, but that reason doesn't sound like it fits your use case anymore
06:34.40gnarfaceOksana: frankly i think you've grown out of network managers from the sounds of it, but i don't know anything about openconnect
06:35.35gnarfaceOksana: wicd should be using some permissions backend to get root access so depending on how it calls scripts it might not need sudo but i don't know for sure
06:36.10*** join/#devuan Joril (~joril@host-217-194-188-145.sbs.redder.net)
06:36.20cloudyOksana: does your work/org require cisco or pulse to connect? why need openconnect? just curious
06:39.27OksanaYes, they recommend cisco, I think.
06:41.23gnarfaceOksana: worst comes to worst, you can likely just ditch wicd entirely and put the commands in your /etc/network/interfaces file directly, tied to an "up" clause
06:41.55*** join/#devuan Pali (~pali@Maemo/community/contributor/Pali)
06:42.16gnarfaceOksana: (they will also be executed with root permission there, but that file is globally readable by default so if it includes your VPN password make sure you "chmod go-a" it
06:42.18gnarface)
06:42.50gnarfaceOksana: (it's globally readable by default, but only root actually has to be able to read it so you can safely correct that)
06:43.43gnarfaceOksana: it might be fully doable with wicd, i don't know.  i had to figure out all this stuff before network managers existed

10:15.37roo^yI'm a few days into running Beowulf on my Mele pcg35 apo. I haven't updated from stock release, & my screen just went black, & KB won't turn it's lights on for caps lock, num Lock etc
10:19.32roo^yUnlikely a heat issue, as I sit here in very cold Australia. Other screens & keyboards make no change
10:23.28openbsdtai123Since everyone seems to use whatsapp, there is no choice. How to run whatsapp  on devuan ?? it seems that there is not much way, not to use it since there is no linux version. Is there maybe a workaround to install it?
10:27.45roo^yA android emulator (the way ubports uses android apps)
10:44.12sixwheeledbeastThere is always a choice.
10:45.22sixwheeledbeastThere is no way i would be pressured into using a platform if I don't like there privacy policy.

11:05.08roo^yNow Beowulf won't boot past a maron screen. Can go into recovery boot, & allows maintenance from CMD line
11:29.42*** join/#devuan rsx (~rsx@ppp-188-174-130-12.dynamic.mnet-online.de)
11:30.31gnarfaceroo^y: it's most likely something you installed/upgraded recently then, if the problem persists through reboot... though there are some rare types of driver crashes that can persist through a reboot so do a cold boot once to be thorough
11:31.46gnarfaceroo^y: the screen going black part also might have been expected behavior (under most default configurations the screen would blank after 306 seconds or something like that) and the crash may have happened afterwards whether or not it was even related
11:32.24gnarfaceroo^y: that also strongly hints to a driver issue, particularly with the video card or with something related to power management
11:33.32brocashelmdoes anyone run vrms every now and then out of curiosity? the only "bad" package i got is firmware-amd-graphics, but that's so i could configure my monitors. i guess i'll write angry letters to amd until they release fully libre drivers
11:34.08roo^yLive version from USB doesn't get past a blue screen with a mouse. I'll see if another OS will boot
11:36.31gnarfaceroo^y: maybe try the mini.iso one
11:36.48gnarfaceroo^y: (no gui enabled by default, might dodge the issue you're having if it's gui related)
11:38.05roo^yUntil now, the live Beowulf did work, which installed it to ssd, & it's been running for a few days
11:38.49Jorilopenbsdtai123: I just use web.whatsapp.com from inside a browser
11:49.18gnarfaceroo^y: so, a few days, but did you install anything during that time, particularly towards the end of that time, like in the last couple hours before the screen went black?
11:49.50gnarfaceroo^y: also, can you ssh into it?
11:50.55roo^yThat's a bit beyond my n00bness at the moment
11:51.56gnarfaceroo^y: well, one thing that would be a good test is to have an open ssh connection when it initially locks up, see if you can still maintain control remotely, this narrows down the potential causes and gives you some leverage to deal with the issues
11:52.44gnarfaceroo^y: based only on what you've told me so far though, i can't rule out hardware failure
11:53.42gnarfaceroo^y: i'd need to see some more tests, but the initial behavior fits the profile for having burnt out a chunk of video ram
11:54.14gnarfaceroo^y: but like i said before, if you installed anything within a few hours before it blackscreened initially, that's the most likely culprit
11:54.41gnarfaceroo^y: it might have been something from a 3rd party repo, if you were distro mixing this could happen too...
11:56.45roo^yI usually boot refracta ASCII on another partition of SSD. FAIL! Hardware fail it is! Another distro on USB didn't launch either. I happen to have a spare Mele pcg35 apo. I'm doubting the win10 on the onboard chip will boot either, if it's fried a GPU gnarface
11:58.02gnarfaceroo^y: well, if not much of the video ram is fried, you might get sporadic success
11:58.30gnarfaceroo^y: i had found some way to map around bad system ram but at the time it wouldn't work on video card ram, but maybe someone has something for that...
11:59.28gnarfaceroo^y: and don't forget to try cold boot if you haven't yet.  shut it down all the way, unplug it, unplug the battery (if furnished) and then wait 10 seconds or so before powering it back up again
11:59.33roo^yI've been only turning off the screen, so the screensaver may've been FAR too much for the hardware to run for hours
12:00.05gnarfaceroo^y: (i've seen a lot of things that look like hardware failure but were just an artifact of bad driver and bios misbehaviors combined with residual memory capacitance)
12:00.34gnarfaceroo^y: (some of those opengl screensavers are just as likely to cause such a driver crash as they would be to overheat the hardware)
12:01.03roo^yYes, I've been turning off the UPS between boots
12:01.36gnarfaceyea, maybe swap the video card then and see if that brings it back to life
12:01.55gnarfaceand for the future - don't use the opengl screensavers
12:01.59gnarfacethey're real bad

12:03.04gnarfacethe guy who wrote them actually rage quit his entire coding career and opened a bar instead, over persistent gpu driver bugs that still to this day plague those screensavers
12:03.22roo^yHaha
12:03.24gnarfacethe old pixel-based ones seem safe though
12:06.34roo^yI guess I'll be able to run a GPU test from some hirens boot cd if installed to boot partition..
12:08.31roo^yIf fried, not all lost, if I use as some cli server..
12:09.04gnarfaceoh, and you said you were sure it's not overheating, but you did check the fans, right?
12:09.30gnarfacedead fans can cause overheating even in a cold room
12:09.35gnarfacedepends on the hardware though
12:09.51gnarfacesome of it is more sensitive than others
12:10.10roo^yIt's fanless. Cold down in AU. & Wasn't working very hard when it "crashed"
12:10.51gnarfacewell that's the thing though, you could be onto something about the screensavers if it was a opengl screensaver... it could have been working a lot harder at it than you'd expect
12:11.09roo^yI was just chatting here in IRC & it went down
12:11.11gnarface(another complaint about the opengl screensavers is there's no responsible frame limiting)
12:11.25gnarfaceoh, if the screensaver wasn't even running though that's a different matter
12:12.24roo^yDefinately didn't show signs of trouble before it died
12:13.03gnarfacedo you know which cpu frequency scaler you were using?  ondemand?  schedutil?  performance?
12:13.51roo^yNo, default install
12:13.53gnarfaceperformance is more prone to causing overheating, but the others can be related to instability issues

12:14.34Oksanagnarface: Thank you. I don't fully understand phrase >> you've grown out of network managers from the sounds of it <<. Does it mean that GUI network managers are kids' playground, and adults have got to use CLI tools? If so, I find it unfair - just like condemning adults to reading books without illustrations.
12:14.38gnarfacethe default install probably uses ondemand or schedutil
12:16.02gnarfaceOksana: it's emotionally self-destructive for you to characterize it that way.  characterize it more like "it'll probably take you less time to learn how to edit the very simple text-based format of the /etc/network/interfaces file than it would to figure out how to fix whatever is wrong with wicd"
12:16.27gnarfaceOksana: that said, i don't use wicd, so you should get a second opinion from someone who does
12:16.42Oksananods
12:16.58gnarfaceOksana: "man interfaces" for the documentation on that file, by the way.  there's no pictures but it's also not complicated
12:17.28gnarfaceOksana: if you start editing it directly though, any gui network utility will start to conflict with your changes
12:17.35OksanaIt is problematic enough that I don't know whether VNC client for Sailfish OS works or not, and there is no RDP client for Sailfish OS at the moment.
12:18.22gnarfaceOksana: well, i don't know about sailfish either, but there are several choices of vnc clients in the debian/devuan repos
12:18.35OksanaProblem is, I prefer consistency. Aka, if I am using GUI for anything, then I am using GUI for everything. If I am using Gtk2 widgets, then I don't want to see Gtk3 or Qt anywhere.
12:20.06gnarfaceOksana: well, i think two network managers are wicd and network-manager
12:20.14gnarfaceOksana: *i think the only two...
12:20.47OksanaAnd it doesn't help that computers have a habit of stopping working unpredictably. I suspect that remote computer suffered from power outage - three remote computers are no longer reachable, and that's despite VPN seemingly fine (I run openconnect with -v for verbose, everything seems fine)
12:21.07OksanaThere is also netctl, but it's probably CLI, not GUI?
12:21.22gnarfaceOksana: KDE might have a network manager that is unique to KDE that is not the others
12:21.34gnarfaceOksana: either that or it's just using network-manager too
12:21.51OksanaAnd unfortunately, remote computers are desktops, aka, no batteries. Which increases probability of file corruption due to power outage.
12:22.30gnarfaceOksana: file corruption risk should be fairly limited unless these are Windows machines you're talking about
12:23.13gnarfaceOksana: i really don't know about netctl either.  the /etc/network/interfaces file format is laughably easy.  to the point you might be angry at yourself for avoiding trying it bare.
12:23.31Oksanawants a laptop-desktop hybrid: battery yes, compactness yes, display no, keyboard no - battery solely for the purpose of kind shut-down, aka a few minutes, not for hours-long-work
12:23.50Oksanagnarface: Yes, they are unfortunately Windows
12:23.59OksanaNot my choice
12:24.24gnarfaceAPC sells mini UPSes embedded in power splitters, might be worth looking into
12:24.52gnarfaceit's like a slightly bulky looking surge protector, but it also provides a few minutes of battery for clean shutdown, just like you want
12:25.06roo^yMy Mele is Intel. Win10 that it came with on its inbuilt 32gb chip still boots without issue

12:38.33gnarfaceOksana: do you see a "Back-UPS 650" anywhere?
12:39.23gnarfaceOksana: oh, the 8-outlet 550VA is probably in the same line
12:39.48gnarfaceOksana: yea, you're probably not gonna get something for less than ~$80 unless it's on sale or you make it yourself
12:40.18gnarfaceOksana: but on the plus side, you can probably safely hook all 3 machines to just one of them as long as all you need is a few minutes to shut down
12:40.54Oksanagnarface: Unfortunately, two are on one room, and one is in another room. So, two devices would be required, at least.
12:41.41gnarfaceOksana: APC and some other companies also sell power-conditioning surge protectors that might be sufficient to iron out your dirty power (maybe - ymmv)
12:42.05OksanaNo idea. I don't expect it's just brownout, though I wouldn't know.

12:43.07OksanaDoesn't help that at least two computers out of three will not be able to boot just because somebody pressed a power button. One of them will complain about hard drives inserted and attempt to boot from them, while another will complain that RAID has never been set up.

12:43.45OksanaCannot observe lights dim remotely from distance of a few kilometers, unfortunately...

12:54.05ShorTieoh so true
12:55.45roo^yI just watched a 3.5 minute video on my Mele (running win10) to confirm the video hardware is still pretty good gnarface. Perhaps your right about a driver, which won't let it fully boot from the internal SSD or external usb

12:57.31roo^yThanks
13:00.21gnarfaceroo^y: it's also possible still there's bad ram but the windows driver just happens to fill from the other end or something, so you wouldn't necessarily notice any problems unless you ran something that used 100% of video ram, with the mini live image you should be able to find out for sure
13:01.07gnarfaceroo^y: if there's bad video ram you'd eventually see corrupted text, too
13:01.32gnarfaceroo^y: if the text mode is fine you know it's the driver or the kernel or mesa

17:41.54roo^yThe Beowulf live-desktop wouldn't fully boot either. An experiment of booting Easy OS barely made it past it's boot manager. Refracta ASCII booted to a black screen, where I got distracted & left it for a while.
17:42.02roo^yIt was then able to boot into Win10 that it came with, on it's internal chip. I powered off & now Beowulf boots again! This time greeting me with the login screen. Hopefully a upgrade of packages will stop this from happening

23:23.07systemdleteit should play just what you selected
23:23.26fsmithredyeah, it all works
23:23.39systemdletefsmithred:  When I saved, it saved the entire file!
23:23.58fsmithredI never save projects
23:24.04fsmithredI export to an audio file
23:24.06systemdletenot project, just the file
23:25.03fsmithredI've never gotten it to save a file
23:25.10fsmithredan audio file I mean
23:25.24systemdleteoh crud
23:25.36fsmithredsave project is the only 'save' function
23:25.39systemdleteI thought it had an option to save just the file.  Then that makes sense
23:25.40fsmithredexport
23:25.44systemdleteah!
23:25.48systemdleteok, let me try that.
23:25.50fsmithredsimilar to gimp
23:25.58systemdleteright.
23:26.00systemdletemy duh.
23:26.03systemdletethanks
23:26.38fsmithredand when I close a file, it asks to save, and I always say NO
23:27.00fsmithredthat's also standard procedure at the radio station I help out
23:27.20systemdleteok, so I select the section of the audio I want, but export is disabled?
23:27.45fsmithredselect, Edit-copy, File-new, Edit-paste
23:27.54fsmithredthen export from the new file
23:27.59systemdletecopy is disabled too
23:28.30fsmithredmaybe re-select your selection
23:28.37fsmithredthat's weird
23:29.00systemdleteI click on the point on the graphic where my selection starts and drag right to the end
23:29.10systemdletethat's select I thought
23:29.23fsmithredyeah
23:29.27systemdletethere's a double-headed arrow showing the begin/end
23:29.32fsmithredif you hit the play button, just that segment should play
23:29.39systemdleteit does
23:29.47fsmithredno arrows here, just white background on the selection
23:29.47systemdletebut the export and the edit options are disabled
23:30.01fsmithredoh
23:30.16fsmithredarrows are in the timer bar above the wave
23:30.28systemdletesorry, yes.
23:30.37systemdlete(I figure you are expert at this)
