09:28.33openbsdtai123fsmithred:  what is it? To make devuan look more like normal unix. is it possible that devuan cry a bit long debian, and go alone without debian? devuan needs to be an adult OS. Now it is time to fix debian ;)
09:28.35CAPTCHA_REQUIREDnothing but dwm, mc, elogind, dbus, qterminal, running
09:29.00CAPTCHA_REQUIREDnot seeing anything weird in dmesg
09:29.30CAPTCHA_REQUIREDoh and tor and getty
09:29.35CAPTCHA_REQUIREDand rsyslogd
09:29.37fsmithredopenbsdtai123, no it's not possible for us to separate from debian. Unless maybe you have a few hunderd devs ready to join and help.
09:30.26openbsdtai123why not? if you stick  to look like debian, it looks ugly.
09:30.48CAPTCHA_REQUIREDwhat do you mean look like debian openbsdtai123
09:32.28brocashelmdevuan is actually my first time using debian (past a live boot), lolz
09:32.51brocashelmi can see why debian is highly preferred as a base
09:33.13fsmithredyeah, sorry. Not awake yet, so I don't know the difference between dmesg and ping.
09:33.47fsmithredopenbsdtai123, there's about a dozen active devuan devs.
09:34.05fsmithredwe strive to do as little as possible
09:35.38fsmithreddevuan desktop is prettier than debian. Debian has always been butt-ugly.
09:35.59brocashelmespecially refracta desktop IMO

14:13.44openbsdtai123I have copied the packages deb onto my /target. How to unpack them --foreign onto /target with a foreign arch?  ar x or something?  I have a rpi3b and I want to deploy the deb files onto my pendrive x86.
14:26.54gnarfaceyou have to enable multi-arch, start binfmt-support and do something with qemu-i386-static or qemu-x86_64-static
14:27.17gnarfacewell, that's to use any binaries in them
14:27.37gnarfacethe packages will probably install normally with "dpkg -i [package name]" as long as you enable multi-arch
14:28.00gnarfacebut there's no guarantee you'll be able to use anything in them without the binfmt-support and qemu bits

14:53.56DPAopenbsdtai123: If you have a rootfs or debootstrap a rootfs of a foreign architecture, and want to install or execute something in there, just install the qemu-user-static, and you should be able to just chroot into it.
14:53.56DPAMaybe bind mount dev, sys, and tmp. There is no need to do anything with multi-arch in that case. binfmt-support should be set up by qemu-x86_64-static automatically. Copying qemu-*-static to the root to chroot
14:53.56DPAto is no longer necessary since beowulf/buster, I think. qemu-x86_64-static isn't all that stable, though, and seccomp can somtimes cause a lot of trouble.

16:05.06gnarfacewikan: refractasnapshot or refractainstaller or something like that, i think
16:05.48gnarfacewikan: note that it is not the same text installer as the non-live ones
16:06.16wikanit starts in gui
16:06.50gnarfacewikan: really?  look for other stuff named refracta* in the same path
16:07.10wikanis it possible to install base only from live?
16:07.18wikanmean nothing else that core system
16:07.26gnarfacesure with debootstrap
16:07.37gnarfacei don't know refracta tools well enough to know if they can do it too
16:07.42wikanis it easy?
16:07.47gnarfacedebootstrap?
16:07.51wikanyep
16:07.55wikani like debian installer
16:08.13gnarfacewell debootstrap just creates the rootfs
16:08.25gnarfaceyou still have to do some minor setup afterwards like install a kernel and bootloader
16:08.35wikanok, i will use normal iso
16:08.55wikanplease, tell me how to check what network driver live cd is using on my computer
16:09.04wikanbecause i wanna to provide it on usb
16:09.04gnarfacelsmod
16:09.17gnarfacethe netinstall iso may have it already though
16:09.43gnarfacelsmod lists all the currently loaded drivers
16:10.11gnarfacelspci lists all the currently loaded pci* devices and lsusb lists all the devices connected to the usb bus
16:10.56ham5urgHow can I force update-initramfs to include the lvm-tools?
16:11.17gnarfaceit doesn't do that automatically when you just run it?
16:13.23ham5urgNeither 'vgscan' nor 'lvm vgscan' is available. Maybe something's broken
16:13.23wikancant figure out what the network driver is :|

16:16.00wikani will install from desktop.iso :)
16:16.12gnarfacei really recommend the netinstall first
16:16.21gnarfaceit's enough smaller that even if it doesn't work it's worth a try
16:16.40gnarfaceunless you have a gigabit network uplink or something, maybe then it doesn't matter
16:17.26systemdletefrom my nightly logwatch:   'lightdm: PAM unable to dlopen(pam_systemd.so): /lib/security/pam_systemd.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory: 1 Time(s)'
16:17.53systemdleteFunny, I thought we had totally wiped all traces of systemd...  :D
16:18.13wikani alwayws was using netistall but not for laptops
16:18.19wikantoo many probkems
16:18.33wikanmostly drivers
16:18.40gnarfacewikan: did you have a problem with the devuan netinstall on laptops, or are you prejudiced against it because the debian one never worked?
16:18.57systemdletestill, somebody is trying to run systemd something or another
16:19.00gnarfacewikan: fyi devuan includes the non-free network wifi firmware in the netinstall iso, debian does not
16:19.23wikanoki
16:19.31gnarfacesystemdlete: what log file are you seeing that in?

16:20.02gnarfacesystemdlete: (cannot reproduce here, so my initial guess is something self-inflicted)
16:23.13systemdletelogwatch says it is in log-secure.   When I do a recursive grep, though, I don't find it...
16:24.41systemdleteah. found it
16:24.43systemdleteauth.log
16:25.09systemdletewas grepping the string given in the watchlog.  had to separate it out a bit...
16:25.38systemdletegnarface:  "self-inflicted?"  How?  I only install software from the repos.
16:26.12systemdleteat least, I think so...
16:27.19systemdletebrave browser and chrome browser are the only 2 add-ons I have on that system.
16:27.51systemdletesince this is (apparently) coming from lightdm, it would be too early for either browser to be running yet.
16:28.53systemdleteoh, look, gnarface:
16:28.58wikanrunning
16:29.31systemdletethere is also a complaint just before that one, saying that pam is trying to load a "faulty" module, pam_systemd.so
16:29.42systemdleteso PAM is the culprit then.
16:30.26systemdletesystemd is God.  It is everywhere, even if we can't see it.  And I can't in this case.

16:36.12insecurehi guys, devuan is great work, keep it up. just here to show my support.
16:36.15gnarfacesystemdlete: yes, but beggars can't be choosers
16:36.23fsmithredI thought it was fixed in ceres
16:36.33fsmithredhere's the bug report: https://bugs.debian.org/932047
16:36.39systemdleteceres?  I am not running ceres
16:36.47gnarfacefsmithred: i can't verify on ceres, my ceres box doesn't have graphical login

16:37.14systemdletefsmithred, gnarface:  There is a directory /lib/systemd, which I don't expect on a system where there is no systemd installed/running.
16:37.20fsmithrednot sure. I just copied that from the release notes
16:37.31gnarfacefsmithred: going with replace then
16:37.31brocashelmceres is ridiculously stable for me, wtf
16:37.38fsmithredisn't that where systemd service files go?
16:37.54systemdleteI have no idea.  Besides, that misses the point.
16:38.10fsmithredyeah it does
16:38.22fsmithredmy opinion: we absolutely should not remove that stuff.
16:38.23gnarfacebrocashelm: it's pretty stable unless you use nvidia hardware, then they break it every time World of Warcraft releases a major version
16:38.43systemdletewhy fsmithred?
16:38.44brocashelmgnarface: then thank goodness i don't use nvidia products, lol
16:38.48fsmithredwhich is the same way I feel about package maintainers who remove init scripts.
16:39.01fsmithreddon't fucking remove init scripts
16:39.05fsmithredor service files
16:39.13fsmithredlet the package work both ways
16:39.26systemdleteshouldn't all of those be packaged with their respective software?
16:39.38fsmithredwhat do you mean?
16:39.43gnarfacefsmithred: is this fix gonna also fix the power/shutdown/reboot menu on lightdm for logged-out users?
16:39.53fsmithredgnarface, I think so
16:40.08systemdleteso, e.g., if a user installs packge xyz, then the init script(s) that go with xyz get installed also.
16:40.23fsmithredI don't think I've ever noticed a difference in power buttons between logged in and not logged in
16:40.24systemdleteAnd,here, I am assuming the distro's packagers know to do this.
16:40.39fsmithredsystemdlete, yes as long as the init script hasn't been removed from that package
16:40.56systemdlete?
16:41.00fsmithredno, they can and do remove init scripts
16:41.10fsmithredsometimes for no good reason
16:41.24fsmithredwe just had to fork a couple more packages for that reason
16:41.36systemdletebut... they should not be removing init scripts for service managers that are packaged for that distro.
16:41.49gnarfaceremoving rc.local because "nobody is using this anymore, right?" says the guy who's been part of the project for 2 days right before he removes it without actually waiting for any responses
16:41.55gnarfacethat really pissed me off
16:41.59fsmithredthey are not absolutely prohibited from doing so
16:42.19fsmithredsee the results of the last GR
16:42.20systemdletethe packaging tools could/should enforce this, for any given distro
16:43.52systemdlete(I assume devuan uses some sort of packaging automata)
16:44.20fsmithredour git is connected to the package build system
16:44.46fsmithredwe only package a small percentage of the packages in the repo
16:45.05fsmithredcouple hundred, and half of those are just task-$language
16:45.16systemdletesorry, I keep forgetting you have to do all this yourselves.

16:45.33fsmithredthere'a around a dozen active devs
16:45.37systemdleteyeah
16:45.45systemdletethis is so frustrating.

17:58.24systemdleteis this corrected on beowulf?
17:58.34systemdleteor just ceres?
17:58.57ankokukishihello everyone i have a question. i installed refracta onto a laptop but i need japanese support for it. When i installed refracta i set everything to japanese but the proper characters dont show up and no matter what i do in terminal, i cant tell what they want me to do becasue the characters dont show up properly.
17:59.57ankokukishii found some resources in japanese but even when i try to execute the commands, it says something about sudoers (even though i used sudo in the command) but when i remove it, it cant open a dpkg
18:01.32gnarfacesystemdlete: fsmithred mentioned it seems to be fixed in chimera already
18:02.00systemdleteyes, I did see that (he said ceres, actually)
18:02.09systemdletebut not beowulf then
18:02.13systemdleteok
18:02.31gnarfacesystemdlete: oh what he said was lightdm was forked as of chimera
18:02.32systemdleteMaybe I'll be skipping beowulf and go straight to chimera
18:02.52systemdleteless work to do
18:03.01systemdleteascii has been stable enough for me
18:03.22systemdleteunless there is some really compelling reason to upgrade to beowulf
18:03.30systemdlete(security, stability, etc)
18:03.54gnarfaceankokukishi: does "locale" output the right charmap settings?  if so, then you're probably just missing fonts.  (otherwise, install the "locales" package then run "dpkg-reconfigure locales")

18:05.16ankokukishiim seeing if beowolf works better for this and if not ill try refracta agaibn

18:40.45ankokukishiyeah i dunno because the text doesnt show up so i cnat run apt update
18:40.47gnarfacefor a default install i think you have to add yourself to the sudo group manually, right?
18:40.51fsmithredI've thought about expanding that so that you could choose groups of commands to enable sudo
18:41.01fsmithredjust to drive home the idea that sudo is not for everything
18:41.23fsmithredthe live installer gives you four choices regarding root/sudo
18:41.37ankokukishii didnt check any of them
18:41.38fsmithredthe debian-installer gives you two: root account or sudo
18:41.50fsmithredyou should have a root account
18:42.03ankokukishiyeah i made one and i made a password for it
18:42.29fsmithredif you want sudo, add your user to sudo group or make a file in /etc/sudoers.d/ that sets users/commands or whatever
18:42.30ankokukishimaybe i screwed up during the install process?
18:42.50fsmithredwell, if you wanted sudo, you should have checked the appropriate box
18:43.42ankokukishii only have exp with mint, thats why im having issues i think
18:44.00ankokukishitry installing again
18:44.07fsmithredthere are always some annoying differences when you switch distros
18:44.16fsmithredwhy install again?

20:00.55wikantplink works
20:01.15gnarfacethat's wired or wireless?
20:01.24wikanwireless
20:01.59gnarfacealright.  i would complete the install with it, do a full "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" and then if the other wifi device still doesn't work, see if installing the beowulf-backports kernel fixes it
20:02.00wikaninstaller probable choosed wrong driver
20:02.18gnarfacethat's another thing you could easily override from a completed install
20:02.24wikanoki ;)
20:03.20gnarfacethere might be some non-free firmware for the wifi device, and the package for that SHOULD be installed already, but either way, if you get the beowulf-backports kernel make sure to get that firmware package from beowulf-backports too
20:03.59wikanwill ask for help in about 30 minutes ;)

20:06.54wikani am installing uefi first time
20:08.54gnarfacethere's no guarantee that wifi device will ever work, but we'll do our best :)
20:08.59gnarfaceit's good you have a spare
20:09.30gnarfacepartial functionality is promising though - usually they don't work because the manufacturer refuses to supply the firmware
20:09.31wikannot wifi

20:09.48gnarfacesorry to be clear, my statement was irrespective of the UEFI part

20:14.02gnarfacewikan: you mean you checked no boxes at tasksel?  that's normal behavior.  you'll get a base install.
20:14.07fsmithredaren't you running the installer?
20:14.22wikani did see packages window yet
20:14.30wikannow it is downloading files
20:14.40gnarfacewikan: well the netinstall image does download some stuff up front i think...
20:14.46gnarfacewikan: what boot menu entry did you select?
20:14.47fsmithredyes
20:15.01wikaninstall
20:15.04gnarfacewikan: i recommend expert text mode
20:15.14gnarfacewikan: not sure exactly where it is in the menus these days
20:15.22wikanfucking usless apparmor
20:15.31wikanwhy is this thit installing
20:16.22gnarfacewikan: the kernel package seems to require it
20:16.29wikani did installed devuan before but it wasnt THIS installation process
20:16.54wikani did install python before
20:16.58wikannow it is installing by self
20:17.10gnarfacewikan: which image did you boot exactly?
20:17.38gnarfacewikan: you should see an installer that looks fundamentally identical to the debian one
20:17.39wikandesktop. selected wifi, configured disk, press format and it  is installing
20:18.08fsmithredyou can remove apparmor
20:18.12gnarfacewikan: unless it was in the "installer-iso" directory i think you got the wrong one
20:18.14wikanit doesnt ask me what software i want
20:18.24gnarfacewikan: use one of these: https://files.devuan.org/devuan_beowulf/installer-iso/
20:18.39wikandesktop from installer-iso
20:18.47fsmithredit will ask
20:18.52fsmithredtakes some time to get there
20:19.07wikanok asked me now
20:19.14wikanafter installing a lot of shit
20:19.14fsmithredIf you care about what packages get installed, then I suggest you choose none
20:19.16gnarfacewikan: actually, scratch that.  specifically use the netinstall one then so i know you're using something i've seen
20:19.20fsmithredor just standard system utils
20:19.38gnarfacewikan: or nevermind, if you're happy with that.  i just realized "desktop" probably implies a lot of pre-selected stuff you may not want.
20:19.41fsmithredgnarface, as long as he selects a mirror, it will be a netinstall
20:19.54wikanwell i have tried netinstall and because net did not work i switched to desktop
20:20.06wikannow i know i would check usb card
20:20.07fsmithredbut you have a network connection now?
20:20.17gnarfacewikan: well, it wasn't obvious how, but i could have helped you do the same thing with the netinstall one
20:20.49wikanwell it is fine
20:21.01wikanthanks
20:21.09gnarfacewikan: anyway, you're sorted now.  you can always "apt-get purge" any packages you don't want
20:21.21wikani know ;)

20:22.33systemdleteone person indicated that switching to a non-Intel "adapter" helped.
20:22.44wikanwhen i have seen this error before it was one of last days of my network card life
20:22.55systemdleteproblem is, that is the fastest virtual adapter, afaik

20:27.34systemdleteFunniest part is that this goes back 5-6 years or so.  I'm wondering if this is due to a recent vbox change.

20:34.50wikanwhat do you suggest for drawing icons on minial desktop?
20:36.06gnarfacedoes the software have to be minimal, or just the desktop view?
20:36.08systemdletewikan: lxc is not the same as vbox
20:36.30systemdletelxc requires the guest to be pretty much the same kernel and utils as the host, doesn't it?
20:38.20gnarfacesystemdlete: i think guests and hosts all share a kernel, not sure about any constraints on the utils
20:38.44gnarfacesystemdlete: (i don't know much about it, but i use linux-vservers which is similar)
20:39.04systemdletewell, the utils may not work with a different kernel.  They might be hardcoded to certain schema which could change from kernel version to the next
20:39.23systemdletelinux-vservers:  Not known about that
20:39.46ankokukishihi again guys. I got my refracta to read japanese but the input method editor hasnt appeared on my panel. Should i restart/log off then log back in and it should work?
20:39.53gnarfacesystemdlete: linux-vservers is allergic to both systemd and elogind, so lxc could have similar constraints, i just don't know
20:40.27gnarfacesystemdlete: but other than that you could shoehorn any distro into a guest that can work with the same kernel version as the host
20:40.40gnarfacesystemdlete: (which for headless servers anyway is usually a lot more forgiving of a range)
20:40.49ankokukishiyeah logging off fixed it lol
20:41.04gnarfaceankokukishi: hooraay!
20:41.25systemdletethat's fine if you are, say, an ISP or something.  But let's say you provide me with your own fancy driver to fix some bug I reported and you say "here, try this"
20:41.41brocashelmnice
20:41.41systemdleteNow, I trust you, but I'd still like to try it someplace besides my host.
20:41.59gnarfacesystemdlete: heh, yea it can't really do that
20:42.17gnarfacesystemdlete: the term i heard was "paravirtualization"
20:42.31gnarfacesystemdlete: what you want is actual virtualization (or just spare hardware)
20:42.33systemdletelxc is probably ideal for environments like ISPs
20:42.34ankokukishiwell at least the problem was easy enough to solve, give user sudo access LOL
20:42.42brocashelmlol
20:43.04gnarfacesystemdlete: the approach of paravirtualization is that it is a lot faster without specialized hardware
20:43.11systemdletein vbox-speak and in xen-speak, "paravirtualization" mean different things
20:43.14gnarfacesystemdlete: the benefit of the approach, i mean to say

21:09.54wikani use wicd-curses on my laptops :)
21:10.04vostrohad to remove connman and then install wicd. Otherwise I would get a conflict
21:10.29ankokukishiim just curious but what was behind the decision to keep the DE of devuan looking like windows 98? To keep it lightweight?
21:10.40vostroWifi would start off disabled and wouldn't automatically reconnect on boot
21:10.42fsmithredthat's xfce
21:10.54fsmithredyes, it's a lightweight desktop environment
21:11.31gnarfaceankokukishi: xfce got promoted to default window manager over gnome due to time constraints (it was a lot more work to extract systemd from gnome)
21:11.56gnarfaceankokukishi: just stuck that way after because everyone liked it
21:11.56fsmithredwin98 had all the basic elements of a useful interface
21:11.57ankokukishii have mint 20 xfce but it looks more modern, whereas devuan looks "retro" for a lack of a better term. I am not criticizing it, i like it lightweight, just curious :)
21:12.16vostrowind:just make sure connamn isn't installed also. You don't won't two network managers competeing
21:12.29brocashelmxfce is the superior desktop for me
21:12.35ankokukishii agree
21:12.36brocashelmi'm glad xfce was considered over gnome
21:12.55ankokukishii hate LMDE because its on cinnamon
21:13.05ankokukishijust wasting memory on flashy crap
21:15.01fsmithredwe couldn't even run gnome in devuan at first
21:15.13fsmithredI'm not sure what made the difference. Maybe elogind.
21:15.27ankokukishiwow that sucks
21:15.45fsmithredonly for those who want gnome
21:16.16vostroEven if you instal the LXQt desktop, you still get the xfce window manager by default - which is what I am running
21:16.29brocashelmyes, xfwm4
21:16.36fsmithrednot openbox?
21:16.43ankokukishii like it as is, nice and light, perfect for a laptop, hopefully itll let the battery live longer than mint 20
21:16.51brocashelmisn't openbox mostly lxde?
21:17.28fsmithrednot sure. I've installed lxqt after lxde and had openbox already
21:17.49brocashelmi tried lxde before (lubuntu) and remember the openbox settings
21:17.56brocashelmi didn't like lxde that much
21:18.06brocashelmfound it to be a pain to work with, especially with setting the keybindings
21:18.33vostroDebian does a nice job of skinning LXQt. I think much better than anyone else.
21:19.22ankokukishii dont get why people have to have pretty DEs, functionality is more important *cough*Win10*cough*

21:20.42ankokukishii noticed that mint 20 xfce runs around 1.5gb
21:20.47ankokukishiaverage
21:21.09ankokukishii think ive pushed it to like 2.3 before
21:21.13vostroI don't need pretty desktop. Just wanted the lightest weight desktop/window manager combination where everything worked out of the box.
21:21.28brocashelmi could go the tiling wm route, but xfce just works
21:21.28ankokukishiim wondering how old of a pc can run refracta
21:22.02brocashelmthat also depends on the kernel version
21:22.12vostroWasn't sure if openbox installs a file manager or panel for example.
21:22.20gnarfacei just updated a pentium 266 with 183MB of ram to beowulf
21:22.24fsmithred2005 Athlon X2 is the oldest thing I have here
21:22.31gnarfacei'm pretty sure you can get a really old computer running it if you're patient
21:22.39brocashelmthe newer the kernel, the less likely it will work on a standard i386 machine
21:22.48ankokukishiah
21:23.02fsmithredankokukishi, what's the oldest computer you have?
21:23.04brocashelmbut i could get mint 18.3 xfce with 4.15 kernel working on a 2004 dell laptop just fine
21:23.07gnarfaceyea but most of the P2 and P3 chips should work fine, a couple might need a kernel param
21:23.23gnarfacestuff older than a P2 will require a custom kernel build
21:23.27brocashelmon a pentium m (single core) cpu
21:23.38ankokukishinot THAT old, i have an old NEC that stopped working a long time ago, i think it has like 512mb ram or osmething. I got it when i first moved to japan 14 years ago
21:23.49ankokukishiits a core duo iirc
21:23.55fsmithredit'll work
21:23.57ankokukishioh no its older than that

21:26.57ankokukishiholy shit, that toshiba is so old i cant even find any on sale here in japan lol
21:27.22gnarfacei have two that are older, but they have pentium 1 chips in them, so they're not really worth it
21:27.24brocashelmthose dell optiplexes are perfect for a stable os as devuan, since they were designed for office use and productivity in mind. very quiet and low on resources, yet can even handle mid-level gaming
