12:31.27rknopI'm having this weird problem where /run/user/1000 (my UID is 1000) is not being created when I log in, and/or it's getting deleted.  The only effect I notice is that Pulse stops working, and I can't restart it until I recreate the directory.  Where does this get created?  I haven't figured it out yet; so far, Googling has told me that pam_systemd does this, but that doesn't sound right for Devuan....
12:37.55fsmithredrknop, maybe libpam-elogind does it?
12:39.35*** join/#devuan shibboleth (~shibbolet@gateway/tor-sasl/shibboleth)
12:40.27rknopOK... I've got that installed.  It seems to work on one system, but not on another, that have the same contents in /etc/pam.d/elogind-user
12:41.46rknopOh, weird.  The system had elogind:i386 installed, but not for 64-bit
12:42.21rknopGonna relog and see if that fixed it

13:52.13systemdletebeowulf:  Cannot install virtualbox (from vendor site) because it wants curl3, but it has been replaced by curl4 in beowulf.

14:04.03gordonDrogona minior niggle - maybe someone can address it in the future - booted 'netinst' via USB onto my old PC with a vew to running a secure erase on the SSD but no hdparm command. Not the end of the world - I guess I'll find a live install, or just boot it and delete the drive under ASCII, but might be handy to have in a basic system (unless I'm missing something newer for the purpose)
14:05.39rknopWow, I don't think I've used hdparm in 20 years.... :D
14:05.50fsmithredgordonDrogon, I'm pretty sure that hdparm is not in the devuan live isos, but it is in refracta isos
14:05.53rknopI'm sure there's a systemd replacement for it now
14:06.07fsmithredor you could install it in the live session if you have enough ram
14:06.24rknopThe download size is 116kb
14:06.31rknopInstall 261kb
14:06.42fsmithredmight need room for 'apt update'
14:06.44gordonDrogonsure - no biggie, but seems an odd omission, but I'm sure "reasons".
14:07.08fsmithredoh
14:07.15fsmithredPriority is standard, so it should be installed
14:07.40*** part/#devuan marulo (~marulo@181.92.7.241)
14:07.50fsmithredchecking...
14:08.34fsmithrednope
14:12.48gordonDrogonwaits for the secure erase to finish... I fully expect it to crash and burn at that point, but hey ho :)
14:13.17fsmithredwhat is secure erase?
14:13.39gordonDrogonit's a way to erase an SSD
14:13.48gordonDrogon(although I think some spinning drives support it too).
14:13.52fsmithredthat's part of hdparm?
14:14.04gordonDrogonit's a command hdparm can send to the drive, then the drive does it.
14:14.34gordonDrogonwith ssd's it's supposed to reset all the wear levelling and stuff like that.
14:15.55fsmithredthe man page is not helpful
14:15.57gordonDrogonand it's done. now lots and lots of ext4 errors on the console (which I expected, doing it on a live system).
14:16.30gordonDrogonfor hdparm? no. You sort of need to know the drive capabilities - hdparm just sends the commands to it.
14:16.55gordonDrogonhttps://grok.lsu.edu/Article.aspx?articleid=16716   is what I'm currently following.
14:23.30systemdletenvm.  I downloaded the wrong vbox version anyway.
14:23.31fsmithredthanks. I'll have to remember that when it's time to recycle my ssd into a new system

14:51.54james1138Hello and question. I am thinking of installing the "Math Kernel Library" (intel-mkl) - but like to know would that really be needed? I do not do much with LibreOffice or GIMP and almost no 3D CAD stuff - and if I did 3D stuff on Devuan... would the Intel-mkl help??
14:55.21*** join/#devuan Acacia (~Acacia@unaffiliated/acacia)
15:10.23gordonDrogonjames1138, it depends if the stuff you use will actually use it. (and if you have an intel or amd processor by the looks of it)
15:11.16gordonDrogonI'd suggest not bothering for now and see if you think you need it later - you can trivially install it via apt-get ...
15:11.54james1138Yes GordonDrogon. I am using Devuan on a Lenovo T500 Thinkpad with Intel processor.
15:13.03ranixday 3 of installing a devuan fileserver
15:17.17ranixmd on the root filesystem is very nice
15:18.20ranixI can remove a boot disk from the array to do stuff like scanning it for bad blocks or backing it up without worrying about files mutating while I'm booted off it
15:18.26gordonDrogonI've used md on linux for a very long time now. not had any real issues with it.
15:19.25gordonDrogonyou don't need to remove a disk to do that. you can run a weekly cron-job to do an array check where it will read every block of every md device and check that they match or that the parity is correct depending on the raid level.
15:19.56ranixI'm going to set up incremental backups with dump/restore to some removable disks
15:20.15ranixto keep more history in the event we get compromised and someone tries to encrypt the shared drive
15:20.39ranixthe root fs won't have much data so I only need to make a manual backup once in awhile of the whole thing via some kind of maintenance procedure
15:20.42gordonDrogonponders
15:21.27gordonDrogonthere are many ways to do this - you could use snapshots with LVM volumes, or ditch md entiely, but I'm not sure of the status of zfs with Devuan.
15:22.22gordonDrogoncurrently I use rsync - there is a 'trick' you can use to copy just symlinks, then rsync into that copy which breaks the symlinks and replaces with whole files but only on files that have changed.
15:23.08gordonDrogonso I copy to remote systems or local which are kepy mostly read-only except when the copy happens. all bets are off if an attacher gets root though...
15:23.25gordonDrogonconstant vigilance, etc.

17:53.36openbsdtai123hello
17:53.54openbsdtai123is there a notepad on linux with a spell checker? I recommended "kate".
17:54.10openbsdtai123(english us or uk spell, inside this notepad).
17:58.12ranix:set spell
17:59.23openbsdtai123what is that?? vim no no it is way too complicated. emacs as well. it should be very "simple" to use, like notepad.
17:59.43ranixhave you tried windows
18:01.53openbsdtai123ah ah, I wish all could be linux or unix.
18:02.18fsmithredabiword is pretty simple
18:02.35openbsdtai123abiword is work ... word processing.
18:02.41openbsdtai123Is there a notepad that does spell?
18:02.41fsmithredwork?
18:03.02fsmithredyou want something to screw up the line ends like notepad?
18:03.19openbsdtai123kate is fine with a tex document.
18:03.27FlibberTGibbetallegedly the new notepad is caring and sharing enough to deal with unix line endings :)
18:03.36openbsdtai123I have a tex document that needs a spell check and fix/suggestion.
18:03.38fsmithredyeah, if you already have qt stuff that makes sense
18:03.44openbsdtai123... but it is for newbie.
18:04.11openbsdtai123newbie expects or needs a notepad easy to use one with spell check.
18:04.15fsmithredFlibberTGibbet, up arrow gives you last command in windows now, too
18:04.32ranixwindows has bash now
18:04.48fsmithredthat too
18:04.52openbsdtai123seriously... which one has spell check ?
18:05.10fsmithredi've never tried to spell-check in a text editor
18:05.27FlibberTGibbetatom appears to have built-in spellcheck. at least i haven't installed a plurg-in and it is highlighting badly spelled wurds
18:06.05FlibberTGibbetthat is good, fsmithred. if only I still had a windows box...dumped the last install a few weeks ago :)
18:06.05ranixI'd just use libreoffice if I needed that
18:06.22FlibberTGibbetgeany has a spelling plugin
18:06.26openbsdtai123notepad... plz
18:06.44fsmithredwow, then run notepad already
18:06.48ranixn00tpad
18:07.21nemofsmithred: well, I figured you guys might stop wanting to repackage stuff at some time ☺
18:07.24nemofsmithred: but good to know
18:08.21FlibberTGibbetwhaddabout leafpad or gedit or something like that?
18:08.24fsmithrednemo, there's no guarantee that our own stuff will still get care for as long as the kernel does
18:08.51nemofsmithred: ok... might want to get these servers off ascii at some point then
18:09.17nemothey were setup late last year and beowulf was still a WIP at that time
18:09.41fsmithredI expect servers would be less of a problem, anyway
18:09.55ranixdepends on what they do
18:09.59fsmithredit's the desktop stuff that tends to be a pain
18:10.01openbsdtai123leafpad has no spell checker ... :(
