03:53.30flinggnarface: wut? :>
03:59.16xrogaanI have theses in my syslog, anybody had an idea of why? rtkit-daemon: Argument 1 is specified to be of type "uint32", but is actually of type "int32"#012
04:03.04flingxrogaan: looks like whatever is starting rtkit-daemon passing a negative value to it as the first argument but rtkit-daemon expects it to be a positive value?
04:03.07xrogaanis rtkit another systemd?
04:04.10xrogaanI don't even know what starts that daemon
04:04.13xrogaannot in init.d
04:04.38flingxrogaan: never used rtkit-daemon and have no idea what is it for
04:04.45flingxrogaan: systemd on devuan?
04:05.09xrogaani   pulseaudio Recommends rtkit
04:05.11xrogaanmeh
04:05.23flingShould I try rtkit myself?
04:05.32xrogaanpoettering has his hands on rtkit
04:06.03xrogaanapparently, I do not need it.
04:06.26xrogaanProbably installed itself at the time I didn't disable the recommended install by default
04:13.14rennjhttps://packages.debian.org/sid/rtkit ?
04:13.58rennjdbus would be handling that
04:14.59flingIs it possible to use remote pulse server without dbus?
04:15.53rennjesd e sound daemon did remote audio, m$ rdp does remote audio..should be possible..

04:16.53rennjESD can also manage network-transparent audio.
04:16.53flingI'm talking about $PULSE_SERVER variable
04:20.15gnarfacefling: didn't you ask how to set static routes?
04:32.41flinggnarface: oh this, right I did it by adding up ip r a lines to interfaces.

06:36.12flingI added 'up' to /etc/network/interfaces.d/
06:36.22flinggnarface: but with iproute2 ^
06:36.30flingthought there might be a better way
06:36.44flingshould not I use openrc and netifrc?

13:21.56brocashelmalsa works just fine for me. i would understand the need for pulse for something like bluetooth?
13:22.21brocashelmthink i might replace networkmanager with connman
13:23.46xinomilonot familiar with sound (total ignorance there), but how do you get alsa to go >100%, as vlc/pulseaudio mixer does?
13:29.38flingjonadab: what is so bad about pulseaudio?
13:30.59flingWhat I don't like is granting a client access to your server allows them to capture your inputs and outputs
13:32.58jonadabfling: You mean besides the fact that sometimes it randomly decides that your computer Will Never Play Audio Again, and even uninstalling pulseaudio doesn't fix it, you have to reinstall your entire OS?
13:33.48flingjonadab: wut? tell me more about this
13:34.29jonadabGranted, I haven't experienced this recently.  Because after it happened, I vowed not to install pulseaudio again for a Good Long While(TM).
13:34.40flingthe worst issue I'm experiencing with pulseaudio is missing sound in alsa only apps via pulse alsa plugin in containers
13:35.44flingbut this is due to a bug in alsa lib
13:38.53sixwheeledbeastnever had any issues PA myself but heard plenty people complain about it.

13:43.49masonIt's better than it used to be, but not using it is better still.
13:44.29n4dirlol
13:44.49masonSome years ago I had a script that would kill the pulseaudio daemon, delete its binary state from disk, and then yank out and reload the audio module, as pulseaudio would wedge itself so hard that each of these steps was essential to getting it running again.
13:44.55n4dirthat should be their main slogan
13:45.25masonn4dir: It's time-honored wisdom that less is more.
13:45.59masonAnd that less(1) is more featureful than more(1).

17:24.05markizanonot sure if this is an xinput thing or something else I am missing, but somewhere in ascii->beowulf (and this is also true for eoan->focal), I have observed the Ctrl+Left/Ctrl+Right navigation keys now stopping at dash characters.
17:24.13markizanokinda curious where I go from here.
17:24.23markizanothis is irrelevant to my terminal/shell - it happens in other apps too.
17:25.28markizanoSimilar to how you can control "Select-by-word" characters in Terminator (and I presume gnome-terminal as well), but seems like something has changed more globally; this behaviour exists outside of just the shell/terminal.
17:28.08markizanono diff between `/etc/inputrc` between upgrades.
17:42.32Hurgotronhmm, maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I don't see a difference between ascii and beowulf here.
17:43.31masonHurgotron: Newer software. Beowulf ships some multimedia stuff that is happy with all my media.
17:43.44mason...whereas ASCII versions bailed.
17:44.05masonHurgotron: Security attention is also going to start shifting away from ASCII as it ages.
17:44.19Hurgotronmason: Sorry, I meant to address markizano and his observation.
17:45.09Hurgotronmason: sorry for the confusion :)
17:45.24masonOh, gotcha. Doh.
17:45.47markizanoLoL
17:46.00markizanochatting with a friend in another channel and there is suspect it in the version of GTK I have.
17:46.16markizanoI am using Gtk3 for the first time since I was on Jessie/Gtk2 forever...
17:47.05markizanook, nope - KDE is doing it too (with kate editor).
17:48.24Hurgotronwell I just tried vi and bash.
17:48.53markizanonarrowing it down to just pluma
17:49.06markizano<markizano> "word-break" <- in pluma, it goes "|word-break" -> "word|-break" -> "word-|break" -> "word-break|"
17:49.14markizano<markizano> now looking more closely in other apps, it goes
17:49.20markizano<markizano> "|word-break" -> "word|-break" -> "word-break|"
17:52.19markizanoso, issue I have, I guess is word break is on dash and it treats dash like a word.
17:52.25markizanothis is very obscure...
17:52.52markizanoGoogle searches only yield stuff like "how to search and replace in <text-editor>" or inputrc stuff related to bash.
17:53.01markizanokate and pluma appear to have the issue
17:53.20markizanoit's really minor and cosmetic, I guess, but it's bugging me enough to want to find out where this was configured, LoL.
17:54.41markizanoor "how to setup shortcut keys" ;_;
17:56.04fsmithredcould that be related to the change that causes ls to put quotes around some file names?
17:56.10fsmithred(the ones with spaces)
17:58.02markizano^ was wondering about that too... figured it might be to enable folks to be able to copy/paste from output of `ls`
17:58.28fsmithredthere's more to it than convenience
17:58.44fsmithredI think that was a change in ls, but I don't recall for sure
17:59.17fsmithredbut pretty sure something about how or when to recognize a word changed somewhere
18:00.28markizanohrmm...
18:00.40markizanoseems like `ls` default --quoting-style changed from "literal" to "shell-escape"
18:01.23fsmithredthe change that's bugging me is that file-selection windows sort files and directories together instead of dirs first
18:01.34fsmithredthat sounds familiar
18:03.23markizanoI think it's in zenity - but don't like the default behaviour of search either. I am so keyboard oriented, using the mouse to navigate a file or up/down arrow keys repeatedly is not friendly to me.
18:03.30markizanowould like to know how to change that config as well, LoL
18:04.15fsmithredchange what?
18:04.53markizanowhen you go to select/open a new file in any zenity-based file selector, seems like the default behaviour is to up/down navigate, rather than type a file to navigate.
18:05.06markizanoI liked the legacy behaviour which had an address bar at the top and you can type path direct to file.
18:05.13fsmithredoh
18:05.15fsmithredyeah
18:05.16markizanonow, I find myself having to Ctrl+L to activate address bar before I can search.
18:05.25fsmithredI use yad now instead of zenity
18:05.31ranixyou should be able to search just by typing the filename
18:05.42ranixhaving to hit a key combo first is stupid
18:05.54markizano<ranix> having to hit a key combo first is stupid  <<< +1
18:06.04ranixif a file browser is open typing w should go straight to the first file with a name beginning in w
18:06.17markizanooh it does
18:06.27fsmithredno text entry in yad's file-selector
18:06.30markizanobut sometimes I am in a parent directory and I start typing the path to the file with slashes
18:06.51markizanoby the time I type the folder/file out - the file-selector says "no results found"
18:07.03markizanoI have to first navigate to the sub-folder, sub-folder, then I can find the file.
18:07.21ranixI'd just type the folder name and hit enter instead of typing a path with slashes
18:07.40ranixso instead of foo/bar/harbl.png I'd type foo enter bar enter harbl enter
18:08.00ranixthat works with thunar
18:08.21markizanooh the joy's of Linux and it's insane configurability, LoL
18:08.27markizanoI want a config option to toggle that! :D
18:09.36fsmithredtry dconf-editor
18:10.23markizanoomg, I forgot about that - had a hard time recalling the name of that winregedit like thing for Linux :D
18:13.02fsmithredyeah, it's bigger and better (more complicated) than gconf

18:23.31n4dirmust have been a thing back then, from what i have heard (e16 that is)

18:24.00n4dirimho you can't compare the two.
18:24.17ranixdoes e16 still run these days
18:24.54n4dirit runs well. Friend said it was upgraded last year or so, but in general it stays like it is like forever. Was removed from debian and all debian based, it seems

18:27.15ranixway ahead of you
18:27.29ranixalready installing build deps
18:27.44n4diroha
18:27.55ranixand now building
