01:11.55Wafficushi there, can anyone help me add my microsoft lifechat headset to my qlink program, which is a ham radio program for Echolink?
01:12.04Wafficusits says "alsa:default" for the main audio
01:12.08Wafficusbut I need to change it to the headset instead
01:13.39gnarfaceWafficus: is it a USB device?
01:13.58Wafficusyes
01:14.06Wafficusit shows up under alsamixer
01:14.11Wafficusbut I don't know the "text value" name of it
01:14.11gnarfaceWafficus: try to find it in the output of "aplay -l" and "aplay -L"
01:14.17Wafficussince qtel needs the exact text name
01:14.26Wafficusthere's no drop down menu to select it, so it needs the text value name
01:14.36Wafficusgot it:
01:14.44Wafficuscard 2: LX3000 [Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
01:14.46Wafficus<PROTECTED>
01:14.48Wafficus<PROTECTED>
01:14.53gnarfaceok
01:15.00gnarfaceso it is hw:2,0
01:15.19gnarfacebut you might be able to find a more useful logical device attached to it in "aplay -L"
01:15.26gnarface(note the case difference in "L" changes the output)
01:15.27Wafficushmm, how did you know it was hw:2,0?
01:15.30Wafficusjust curious
01:15.42gnarfaceall devices have both physical and logical references
01:15.59Wafficusit shows up a few times in aplay -L though
01:16.09gnarfacethe format for the physical reference is hw:[card index],[device index]
01:16.14Wafficusnot sure which would be applicable if i need it for headphone output and mic input
01:16.21Wafficusah I see
01:16.38gnarfacepaste the "aplay -L" output at paste.debian.net and i'll tell you
01:16.43Wafficusok will do
01:17.25WafficusI tried paste.debian.net but its "unavailable" right now
01:17.41Wafficuswould you be ok with termbin?
01:17.52gnarfacejust /msg it to me
01:17.58Wafficusok
01:18.21gnarfacedefault rate limiting will make it take a long time to get here, just be patient
01:18.27Wafficusi tried /msg and /pm
01:18.41gnarfaceyou found it
01:22.48gnarfaceit's still coming
01:23.13gnarfaceare you using pulseaudio too, by the way?
01:24.52Wafficusgnarface: cool, pasted the 171 lines to you lol
01:24.54Wafficusin a pm
01:24.56Wafficusnot sure honestly
01:24.58WafficusFirefox MIGHT have installed it but I haven't used it personally
01:25.00Wafficusnot sure what installed it to be honest

01:29.17WafficusCARD=LX3000, got it
01:29.25Wafficusso should I use that for my mic AND headphone right
01:29.34gnarfacelooks like it's even got firewire lol
01:31.05gnarfaceand 6-channel surround-sound!
01:31.12gnarfacethx compatible haha
01:31.20Wafficuslol
01:33.41WafficusI tried "CARD=LX3000" for the "Mic audio device" and "Speaker audio device" setting values in "qtel", but i'm getting "Could not open speaker audio device" on qtel unfortunately
01:33.50Wafficus*when I try to connect to any radio repeater
01:35.05gnarfacesorry no that's not the right syntax
01:35.14gnarfacei gotta tell you some more stuff, one second
01:36.17gnarfacesending back an example ~/.asoundrc
01:37.16gnarfacethere, try that, just those 3 lines as-is
01:37.49Wafficuslike within ~/.asoundrc right?
01:37.52WafficusI don't think I have one
01:37.56Wafficusor rather, I think MAYBE it might be in /etc
01:37.58WafficusI forget
01:38.12gnarfaceput it in your ~/.asoundrc, you wouldn't have it by default
01:38.20gnarfaceyou would not have one by default
01:38.24gnarfacei find it useful to keep several on hand

01:40.08Wafficusok
01:40.10Wafficusthanks
01:40.11gnarface"~/" gets expanded by the shell to the literal string that is the full path of your home directory
01:40.26Wafficusyeah that much of Bash expansion I remember
01:40.37Wafficusi'll load a new terminal and see if I'm able to launch qtel one sec
01:41.14gnarfacefor changes to the ~/.asoundrc to be recognized, you need only stop any programs that were started before it changed
01:41.23gnarface(only relevant to programs actually using alsa of course)
01:41.43Wafficusso wait, what do I have put for "Mic audio device" and "Speaker audio device" in that case?
01:41.57Wafficus* in qtel so that it can detect my headphone for mic and audio
01:42.55gnarfacenot sure but probably the literal string "default" if nothing is provided as a default
01:43.16Wafficusok
01:45.02gnarfacethough it might be interesting to see what happens if you specify "surround71" for the speaker audio device
01:45.33gnarfaceand make sure you actually have the right alsamixer interface for this device
01:45.55gnarfaceyou have several cards, so just running "alsamixer" without -c or that ~/.asoundrc would probably give you volume controls for the wrong one
01:46.15Wafficusok, so its not freaking out anymore, but I'm not sure if its actually picking up my mic signal
01:46.17gnarfaces/probably/nearly certainly/
01:46.31Wafficus* allows me to connect to a station
01:46.36gnarfaceyea i wouldn't expect the mic to necessarily be unmuted, check that in alsamixer
01:46.40Wafficuswill have to check alsamixer
01:46.49gnarface[tab] key to change to the inputs tab
01:47.22gnarfacedefault would only show outputs, which on many devices also has a mic control but one that does not affect recording levels, which can really confuse testing
01:49.02Wafficusyeah I think that worked, thanks
01:49.13gnarfaceyou're welcome
01:49.25Wafficusno contacts yet, but I think that the repeater got my signal since I heard it signal back
01:49.30Wafficusso its a matter of finding some active repeaters
01:49.32Wafficusgonna be fun ;)
01:49.36*** join/#devuan habib (~habib@138.94.211.0)
01:49.52Wafficusgot my ham radio license a few weeks ago, but just got a low end Baofeng UV-5R so I can only hit the repeater nearby
01:50.02Wafficuswith Echolink via "qtel" its gonna be a lot more
01:50.29gnarfacesounds fun
01:53.22Wafficushow was your week btw?
01:53.24Wafficusgnarface:
01:54.43gnarfacethat's offtopic, but it was peaceful, thanks
01:55.09gnarfacei'm totally jealous of the ham radio and license, btw.  congrats on that
01:56.50gnarfaceiec958 is the digital/spdif channel (though technically not spdif in this case i guess the software wouldn't know the difference)
01:57.12gnarfaceif you have a problem with software that won't accept the other interfaces because it thinks they're analog or something like that, try iec958
01:58.42gnarfaceand actually, come to think of it, the strings "plug:dmix" and "plug:dsnoop" without quotes, should work for output and input respectively, if "default" doesn't
01:59.16gnarfacedefault should work for both but doesn't always, depending on driver and hardware limitations (sometimes just bugs)
02:03.44gnarfacedefault is supposed to imply dmix and dsnoop too, but that doesn't always work right either
02:04.11gnarfaceif you need to bypass dmix and dsnoop for any reason, use the hw:x,y notation instead
02:05.44Wafficusthe "alsa:default" option worked
02:05.47Wafficusso should be ok
02:05.51gnarfacecool
02:06.36gnarfacenote that not all the options that work necessarily will have the same latency or cpu usage
02:07.04gnarface"hw" is the fastest but also with most devices implies only one thing can use it at a time
02:07.27WafficusI see
02:08.37gnarfaceoh and since recordings matter, check to make sure the sample rates default to the optimal one for the device
02:08.50gnarfaceusually this works right for output but for some reason less often for input
02:09.36gnarfacealthough usually what goes wrong is it'll default to 8000Hz, which will be very obvious in the recording quality
02:10.23gnarfacealso
02:10.28gnarfacei have no idea what the "usbstream" one is
02:11.29Wafficusgotcha
02:11.33Wafficuswell, seems to work for now ha
02:11.41gnarfacethat's what matters
02:12.04gnarfacei'm just tacking on some information that might come in useful later

06:21.35systemdleteis there a way to get apt to revert the last set of updates?
06:34.19flingI have a bunch of stuff like different libs marked as manual.
06:34.25flingHow to uninstall them properly? ^
06:34.29flingthe unneeded ones
06:35.27systemdleteSo "apt update" told me there were upgradable packages.  I then looked to see using --upgradable.  I thought I wanted the changes, and did "apt upgrade"  but this seems to have broken things
06:35.43systemdleteSo what I want to do is simply undo JUST the packages that were upgraded
06:36.05systemdleteI guess I can write a script to do this, but if there is a tool that would be better and more convenient.
06:36.38systemdleteMaybe that explains it more clearly.
06:37.06systemdleteIOW, I don't want to remove the packages, just put them back to how things were before that one upgrade, which included about 50 packages I think.

07:10.01gnarfacei don't know of any tools
07:10.18gnarfacenot anything that wouldn't have needed to be set up ahead of time anyway, systemdlete
07:10.31gnarfacefling: just "apt-get purge [package name]"
07:10.39systemdleteno
07:10.41systemdleteno!
07:10.45systemdleteI do not want to do that
07:10.56gnarfaceyou want to roll back to the previous versions, right?
07:10.57systemdleteIt's OK, I am putting together a perl script to do this.
07:11.10systemdletepurge will get rid of the packages completely.
07:11.16gnarfacesystemdlete: ignore the thing for fling
07:11.24systemdlete???
07:11.46gnarfaceare you and fling the same person, systemdlete ?
07:12.03systemdleteoh, I thought you were suggesting I just kind of "fling it"
07:12.06gnarfaceno
07:12.10systemdletesorry
07:12.25systemdleteThat's why I pick unique nicks and user names...
07:12.30systemdletelol
07:12.33gnarfacebut i don't know of any way you can fix your problem at this point other than restoring from backup, or combing through the apt log for the old version numbers of everything
07:12.45systemdletethat's what I am doing now, thanks
07:12.52gnarfaceoh well
07:13.09gnarfaceoh, no nevermind the old versions wouldn't still be in your cache probably
07:13.16gnarfaceyea, the apt log is your best bet i think
07:13.33gnarfacethis might be a good use case for snapshots though

07:29.11systemdleteAnyway, what is the specific syntax for installing a specific version of a package.  It seems to be something like "apt install pkgname =1.2.3 but I can't seem to get the =part right.
07:29.50systemdleteoh
07:29.58gnarfacehas to be exact
07:30.03systemdletethe = comes right after the last letter of the package name, no space!
07:30.04gnarfaceand no space between package name and the =
07:30.09gnarfaceyea
07:30.10systemdletethat was not clear from the docs
07:30.12systemdletedoh!
07:30.14systemdleteok
07:30.25gnarfaceit has to still be in the repo, too, so be fast
07:31.41gnarfacethough conceivably you could configure an apt proxy to cache older versions for longer

07:43.36systemdletelooks like firefox 80.0 is gone
07:43.44systemdletejust 80.0.1
07:43.51systemdleteand I think 78
07:44.08systemdleteI was able to downgrade to 78, just not to 80
07:46.06flingdon't just fling it
07:46.07systemdletecrud.
07:46.19systemdletewhy not, at this point?
07:47.04systemdleteactually, gnarface, this is mx, not devuan.  But I think apt works the same, just different repos.  And I'm not asking anyone HERE to fix mx for me.  That voided the warranty long ago.
07:47.11systemdleteI know.
07:47.34*** join/#devuan tierce (~raoulzeca@2a02:578:85c9:e12::1e6b)
07:47.51flinggnarface: I'm thinking to marking them as auto instead
07:47.58linearaindid anyone migrate from buster to devuan?
07:48.00flinggnarface: is the manual list supposed to not have any libs in it at all?
07:48.07flinglinearain: I did this many times
07:48.20lunariowhat's the reason that a particular version of a package is listed in pkginfo.devuan.org as being in beowulf-backports but not in experimental or testing? aren't backports automatically based on future releases of packages that are in experimental/testing phase in devuna?
07:48.22lunario*devuan
07:48.49linearainfling, did you notice stability improvements?
07:50.07systemdleteI think mx is a rolling release.  This is why I hate rolling releases.  I much prefer solid package management and testing.  I am a fool.
07:50.08flinglinearain: sure I don't need to worry about systemd anymore
07:50.57flinglinearain: for example I had many issues with systemd and I can't experience them or any new ones anymore
07:51.13flinglinearain: for lxd containers I don't need to add 'raw.lxc: lxc.mount.auto = cgroup' to the config
07:51.21systemdleteIt is "semi-rolling"
07:51.32systemdleteAll I know is that I feel like I just got rolled over.
07:51.46flingAnd I can remove this line from fstab -> systemd /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd cgroup X-mount.mkdir,name=systemd,none 0 0
07:51.54systemdleteAnd hollering into #mx-linux for help doesn't do any good.  All I hear is my own echo.
07:52.10systemdleteThat's why I came here.  Sorry, wasn't trying to fool anybody.  Just needed some help.
07:52.27flingI'm using zfs so in case of something going wrong here I can just rollback to a checkpoint or zfs snapshot or lxd snapshot
07:52.45systemdletefling:  I'm using vbox which has snapshotting built in.
07:53.00systemdletebut I didn't bother to snapshot before I upgraded.  Big mistake.
07:53.18flingis something wrong now?
07:53.29systemdleteThis is mx we are talking about.
07:53.33systemdletenot devuan.
07:54.33flingI've been using devuan for mx for years without issues btw
07:54.36systemdleteboth firefox and chromium eat shared mem (/dev/shm) like mad.  They quickly exhaust the /dev/shm and cause the browsers to crash
07:54.52flingwhat do you mean not devuan?
07:54.52systemdletefling:  mx-linux, not somethng else called mx
07:54.58linearainpalemoon is a decent browser
07:54.59flingoh
07:56.38systemdleteI chucked artix linux a while back for similar reasons.  mx and artix both are systemd-free, but they have other issues.
07:57.37systemdleteIt's like devuan is the only linux distro left that has any sort of sanity to it.  Fixed releases, no systemd, etc.
07:58.22linearainfling, what init system you use after migrating from buster to devun? and was it easy to do?
07:58.41systemdleteAnd devuan is beholden, to some extent, to the whims of debian.  For over 25 years, we had a decent OS.  But because of manipulation by one player, nearly every distro out there has gone rogue.
07:58.44flinglinearain: I have no idea, the default one.
07:59.11flinglinearain: I just typed in each container whatever the conversion page said.
07:59.12systemdletee.g., I loved centos, but they also went systemd with v7
07:59.47systemdleteI wait with anticipation for adelie linux.  But I think it is a year or more off before GA.
08:00.13systemdleteMeantime, it's devuan, or maybe one of its spin-offs.
08:00.39flingI'm mostly using gentoo everywhere.
08:00.57flingI'm not using devuan on hardware because it has no lxd packaged.
08:10.32flingsystemdlete: why exactly are you asking about mx-linux here?
08:10.42systemdleteI explained that above
08:10.58systemdleteIt is difficult to get help in their channel, and apt is fairly universal
08:11.18flingoh
08:11.26flingthere is a way to pin certain versions
08:11.43systemdletetoo late for that.
08:11.43nullraumI ended up settling in with it after trying several other lennart-free distros
08:11.53nullraumit's the only one that consistently is problem free
08:11.58nullraumrunner up is void
08:12.12systemdletenullraum: which one is problem free?  We are talking several distros here
08:12.17nullraumdevuan
08:12.20systemdleteok
08:12.22nullraumjust tends to work for me
08:12.26systemdleteI'd say I agree
08:12.43systemdleteA lot of that rests with its stability, due to it being a fixed release.
08:13.30*** join/#devuan Xenguy (~Xenguy@devuan/community/Xenguy)
08:13.34systemdleteOf course, the downside is you don't get all the latest, "greatest," slickest, coolest, wow, man-am-I-tough versions of software.
08:13.38nullraumI'm glad it exists though...cause otherwise I would be considering bsd
08:13.47systemdleteme too, nullraum.  Me too!
08:14.33systemdleteAnd I have looked at bsd.  But I personally don't like it.  I was brought up mostly in the AT&T world, where I worked for the first few years of my career.  So I got to know sys V rather intimately.
08:15.03nullraumand I managed to find a vm host that enthusiastically supports it
08:15.13systemdletewhich one?
08:15.25nullraumhttps://datacenterlight.ch/
08:15.30systemdletehmmm.
08:15.34nullraumother bonuses too
08:15.43nullraumif you're into green energy, apparently it 99% runs on hydro
08:15.49nullraumand then there's swiss data law
08:16.14systemdletea number of vendors do that also.  I've been with a few in the past.
08:16.47systemdleteWhat exactly are they hosting there:  Some form of devuan, or what?  Home brew of their own.
08:16.52systemdlete?
08:17.14systemdlete(yeah, swiss data law is nice I hear)
08:17.25nullraumlet me see...
08:17.31systemdlete(among the strictest in Europe I hear)
08:18.05systemdletefrankly, nullraum, if they are using systemd of any kind, I'm gone. No way.
08:18.06nullraumsays their services run on devuan
08:18.11systemdletewow.
08:18.15systemdletevery cool.

16:05.04XenguyI'm not sure if it is still the case, but when I first looked at aptitude, it didn't seem to be compatible with apt-get, so I decided to stick with the latter
16:05.31XenguyHuh
16:05.47fsmithredmy beowulf on the desktop shows 13 packages to upgrade, and I've done that in the last couple weeks
16:06.45masonI'm curious about something... On Beowulf, with libvirt/kvm/qemu, and with a local virt-manager, I don't see CPU statistics on any guests. I don't remember this with Beowulf as a remote hypervisor with virt-manager on Ubuntu looking. Haven't really begun exploration yet - just noticing it.
16:11.08masonHm, and I get guest CPU status with the remote hypervisor being Ubuntu. Maybe it's a local flag.
16:13.52fsmithredok, 1152 packages will upgrade after I remove the pin on beowulf. doh!
16:14.29masonOh. Interesting. My user can't get stats, but root can. This has to be some polkit issue.

16:45.37masonA riddle wrapped in an enigma. With cgroupfs-mount installed and a fresh reboot for service ordering, virt-manager now shows CPU stats for local VMs, but 'virsh cpu-stats' still needs to be root to find domains. Weird.
16:46.01masonSomething to explore another day I guess, as being able to notice spikes in virt-manager was my immediate goal.
16:47.22masonFWIW, this is the kind of thing I want to capture in a wiki.
16:47.54mason...and it'll be somewhat specific to Devuan, since cgroup management is all ceded to systemd in Debian and others.

19:52.28gnarfacei could be wrong about that though
19:52.35gnarfaceand i forget exactly what license they use

19:53.28gnarfaceit would have to be something OSI approved
19:53.59XenguyThanks, trying to track down the current license of Devuan's documentation, but not exactly sure where to look for that yet.
19:54.19golinuxWe talked with Bruce Perens about a wiki license a while back.   I'll try to dig up that correspondence in a bit.
19:55.28gnarfacehmmm, i see a log of a GR that seems to have been an argument against continuing to use GFDL in 2006...
19:55.29golinuxThat was maybe 2 years ago.
19:56.49gnarfaceif i'm reading this right, GFDL ended up winning out in 2006
19:57.00XenguyHuh, I really don't know a lot about licensing except for the basics of GPL vs. BSD
19:57.25XenguyNo real knowledge of Creative Commons licenses, other than that they exist
19:57.29gnarfaceXenguy: Debian follows, or at least used to follow guidelines from a 3rd party organization called the OSI
19:57.43gnarfaceXenguy: so my guess is their site will probably have the documentation
19:58.04XenguyThanks for the pointer
19:58.20gnarfaceoh, great, apparently that's a very popular acronym
19:58.33gnarfaceor... 3 initial set or whatever you call that
19:58.43gnarfaceyou want the OSI that is the Open Source Initiative
19:58.50Xenguy3 letter acronym
19:59.19gnarfacenot to be confused with OSI Systems, Inc, OSI Digital, or O.S.I. Architecture, or the Office of Special Investigations
19:59.21Xenguycool
20:00.00gnarfacei do know that the OSI is the primary driving force behind Debian having snubbed several popular BSD licenses

22:00.06Cobratekold rusty *nix skillz
22:01.07CobratekI'm old school been around the block once or twice:  I've got a working install with broken X because AMD
22:01.33CobratekSo I need to install the nonfree AMD packages yes?

22:04.07CobratekI can mount -o  the 4g ISO just fine, I need to know where to find the files to install.
22:05.08CobratekApparently the debian installer forgets it was installed from a USB stick and wants a non-existent CD when I try to install anything manually
22:05.40CobratekI mostly have to work offline hence the 4G installer ....

22:13.11fsmithredCobratek, does it fail to find the files if you insert the usb stick when it asks for the CD?
22:13.18*** join/#devuan gattuso (~gattuso@pompel.me)
22:13.46Cobratekyep - just keeps asking for the C
22:13.48CobratekD
22:14.11fsmithredI suppose you could symlink your mounted iso to /dev/cdrom or wherever it's looking
22:14.52fsmithredor symlink to where the usb is mounted. I've done that during installation with a buggy installer.
22:14.54CobratekBeen there tried that - the mounted ISO looks like a different label than what it's looking for

22:15.49fsmithredpackages are in /pool
22:16.38CobratekI'm well familiar with apt so I think I can install them once I locate them
22:16.42fsmithredmaybe apt-cdrom add <mounted iso>
22:16.53bernteHi - I have problems contacting auto.mirror.devuan.org to update my system - is that expected?
22:17.07fsmithredbernte, yes. Use deb.devuan.org instead
22:17.25berntefsmithred: ok - will try that ... thanks.

22:17.55bernteIs that temporary, or a permanent change?
22:17.55Cobratekfsmithred, good one, wish I thought of it.
22:18.39fsmithredpermanent change.
22:18.48Cobratekanyway- bbl playing the dual boot game - so much better than swap the floppy, that game sucked.
22:19.13fsmithredwe only kept auto.mirror around while jessie was still supported, because that's what the installer isos used.

22:20.26mtnmanfsmithered hello, i have been attempting to use the concatenable bowulf arm images, but have been uable to achieve boot.
22:21.00mtnmanis stuck on ascii
22:21.45mtnmansuppose i could dist-upgrade, but would like to start with a fresh beowulf image.
22:23.52golinuxTry #devuan-arm
22:24.35golinuxThere is also the forum https://dev1galaxy.org/viewforum.php?id=24
22:25.28mtnmangolinux yes that is wehre i discovered that fsmithered is an arm authority.  i tried all the stuff in that thread and have not been able to produce a bootable image for my board.
22:25.56mtnmanfigured since i saw him on this channel i'd just ask him.
22:27.06fsmithred<PROTECTED>
22:27.44fsmithredI'm an authority on posting stuff that someone gives me and even moving around images on the server.
22:27.57fsmithredI know nothing about arm
22:28.09mtnmanoh ok i saw you were asking people to test thae arm images.
22:28.20*** join/#devuan Cobratek (~Cobratek@63.140.120.2)
22:28.38fsmithredyeah, because the person who made the images didn't have an account on the forum at that time
22:28.46mtnmanoic
22:29.20fsmithredyou looked at the installer images?
22:29.25Cobratek:) I can install shtuff at will thanks, just have to chase down the rest of the packages I need, AMD stuff went in perfectly thanks :)
22:29.46fsmithredcool
22:31.33Cobratekfor reference: apt-cdrom add /pathtoiso was key
22:31.49Cobratektoo easy
22:32.07Cobratekbut appreciated nonetheless
22:32.11fsmithredway cool. I did something like that with suse 10.0
22:32.25mtnmani've tried several images but the concatenation thing doesn't seem to work for me.
22:32.48fsmithredI don't know what that is.
22:33.18Cobratekcat ?
22:33.41mtnmanthe arm images have a base file and a device-specific part that must be concatenated to get a bootable image.
22:34.10mtnmanfor beowulf, that is.
22:34.14fsmithredDo you know the link for the community-made images?
22:34.25mtnmanno
22:34.53fsmithredI'll find it
