15:45.19systemdlete2I switched my desktop to lxqt on my laptop just to see if the battery/power function works any better.
15:45.25systemdlete2So far, no.
15:46.05systemdlete2It is sitting at 13% now after almost a day of charging.  This can't be a good sign.

15:49.05systemdlete2imagines what else he could have spent $450 on...
15:49.44nemosystemdlete2: well. there *are* power debug tools for linux
15:49.58*** join/#devuan engidea (~damiano@ip-46-141-11-154.rev.wolnext.com)
15:50.06nemosystemdlete2: and linux is notorious for having issues with configuring power profiles safely
15:50.18nemobut 13% after a day of charging sounds like a lot more brokenness than that
15:50.18systemdlete2nice.
15:50.38nemosystemdlete2: the problem is the usual linux issue with undocumented hardware and lack of vendor support
15:50.51systemdlete2but, nemo, it was charging much more rapidly under xfce!
15:50.51nemosystemdlete2: but yeah. 13% sounds like way beyond that.
15:50.56nemointeresting
15:51.14systemdlete2Maybe I should switch back and observe, then return to lxqt
15:51.19nemosystemdlete2: do you have a CPU monitor enabled?
15:51.26nemois anything continuously burning CPU?
15:51.31systemdlete2no
15:51.40systemdlete2firefox.... heheheh
15:52.03nemosystemdlete2: well. that's entirely dependent on the websites you are visiting usually ☺
15:52.09nemoand how much you are using or not using noscript 😉
15:52.27systemdlete2sure.  But, again, on xfce, totally different story
15:52.28nemosystemdlete2: and whether you enabled layers acceleration in firefox about:config
15:52.37nemosystemdlete2: what window manager are you using for lxqt?
15:52.41nemoand does it use hardware compositing?
15:52.44systemdlete2no idea
15:52.48nemohuh
15:52.59nemohow did you install lxqt?
15:53.04systemdlete2I think when I looked it was xfwm
15:53.12nemoare you using compton?
15:53.13nemook
15:53.14systemdlete2apt-get install lxqt
15:53.27nemohrm. problem is I don't want to do that locally. let's see what the deptree is for that
15:53.52systemdlete2It hauled in tons and tons of shit
15:54.09nemohttps://pkginfo.devuan.org/stage/ascii/ascii/lxqt-core_13.html  looks like you're right
15:54.49nemosystemdlete2: xwfm4 does have compositing these days
15:54.54nemosystemdlete2: could you check to see if it is enabled?
15:54.57systemdlete2all 4 cpu cores are "quiet"
15:55.03*** join/#devuan clemens3 (~clemens@mx.eniso-partners.com)
15:55.03nemoyeah, I figured from your confusion
15:55.08nemothus why I wanna check the gpu
15:55.21nemosystemdlete2: but such slow charging is ridiculous if it is plugged in
15:55.30nemothat really suggests something terribly broken in how you are charging it
15:55.44systemdlete2this laptop has issues even under xfce, just not this bad
15:55.46nemono matter how much you are burning CPU
15:55.52nemoI'd RMA it ASAP
15:56.06systemdlete2crud.
15:56.25systemdlete2but i thought of that also
15:56.33systemdlete2and I balked at the idea
15:58.17systemdlete2compton: no
15:58.27systemdlete2I can enable it
15:59.06nemoeh
15:59.17systemdlete2now on
15:59.20nemosystemdlete2: seems like that would hardly clarify matters
15:59.36systemdlete214%
15:59.44nemohm
15:59.46systemdlete2let's wait a moment, shall we?
16:00.06nemosystemdlete2: are you *sure* your CPU was quiet before that? how were you measuring it?
16:00.07systemdlete2could be it started going a bit faster
16:00.15systemdlete2htop
16:00.28systemdlete2really haven't been on this thing much
16:00.40systemdlete2have an open ff running though
16:00.49systemdlete2but no heavy graphics or the like
16:00.52nemook. I have software compositing enabled in MATE on this computer (necessary to have firefox hardware acceleration and vmware view working normally)
16:01.01nemoand wiggling a window around in htop reliably kicks up CPU
16:01.08nemoso you should have seen desktop burning CPU if that was the issue
16:01.17nemosystemdlete2: do you have layers acceleration enabled in firefox?
16:01.29systemdlete2not sure
16:01.44nemolayers.acceleration.force-enabled  true
16:01.47nemoabout:config
16:02.03nemooptionally gfx.webrender.all true
16:02.07systemdlete2now it is
16:02.15nemook. you'll need to restart firefox
16:02.28nemosystemdlete2: without those flags it uses software rendering too
16:02.46*** join/#devuan Pali (~pali@Maemo/community/contributor/Pali)
16:02.47nemosystemdlete2: and might be a reasonable hit on interaction w/ X. dunno how that works 'sactly
16:03.11systemdlete2rebooting.  lxqt or xfce this time?
16:03.28systemdlete215% now!
16:03.38nemosystemdlete2: I have noticed on wimpy laptop graphics cards that accelerated apps like firefox/vmware/games can break badly with hardware composited desktops
16:03.54nemosystemdlete2: that's just insane.
16:04.08nemosystemdlete2: what the heck CPU are you using anyway?
16:04.14systemdlete2so it appears to be more rapidly charging now
16:04.25systemdlete2it is asus T101AH
16:05.01nemohm. Intel chip
16:05.18nemosystemdlete2: I assume you have all the security microcode to waste intel CPU due to their idiocy enabled
16:05.44systemdlete2I went for features and price, sorry...
16:06.01systemdlete2well let me reboot
16:06.09systemdlete2bbs
16:07.33systemdlete2hmmm.... tried to leave the desktop and got a (blocking?) notificatoin that the power manager is havenig an error
16:07.37nemoI'm just speculating as to possible causes of CPU power consumption that would be so awful as to completely eff up charging.
16:07.40systemdlete2wont let me log out
16:07.45nemoIntel chip performing subpar is a possibility
16:07.49nemowow. that's nuts
16:07.53nemowhat's the error?
16:08.19nemofound asus website for your laptop. don't see any information on the powersupply though. what's printed on it?
16:08.27systemdlete2interactive authenticatoin required
16:08.53systemdlete2not much actually.  Pretty plain case.
16:09.09systemdlete2ASuS logo
16:09.16nemosystemdlete2: there's no black AC/DC converter anywhere on the power supply with an output DC printed on it?
16:09.24nemoyou know, like 95% of laptops have? ☺
16:09.38systemdlete2the brick?

16:10.40systemdlete2yes.  Lots of teensy weensy lettering in a rather beige color against black
16:10.52nemohm.
16:11.09systemdlete2I'll need a flashlight, magnifying lense, and rosetta stone
16:11.10nemonear the top you should see OUTPUT somewhere
16:11.17systemdlete2I have 2 of 3
16:11.17nemoI think it's one of the major things to report
16:11.23nemowith a number in probably amps
16:12.04systemdlete2when I say weensy... I mean WEENSY
16:12.42nemomm
16:12.56nemoI just dug my work laptop out of bag
16:13.02nemoit's a dell (and thus intel ☺ )
16:13.06systemdlete25V 2.0A
16:13.11nemoit charges very normally
16:13.17nemowow. that's pathetic
16:13.22nemoit's like a laptop
16:13.26systemdlete2came with the laptop
16:13.27nemoer *tablet
16:13.37systemdlete2laptop/tablet
16:13.37nemowell. you can't do much about it. but no wonder it charges like crap
16:13.49nemomy work laptop here is 4.67/19.5 !
16:14.11systemdlete2Is that V and A or A and V?
16:14.14nemoso, can supply like ¼ of the power of my desktop PSU
16:14.34nemosystemdlete2: doesn't really matter if you're just wanting watts but A/V
16:14.45systemdlete2uh-huh
16:14.59nemoso 9x the watts of your wimpy power supply
16:15.01nemowhat idiots designed that
16:15.09nemopoor thing should be able to handle max load!
16:15.17nemowhat if you want to do something fun with it for a significant amount of time?
16:15.26nemothere's no way your system consumes that little when in use
16:15.40nemosystemdlete2: so. sounds like you might need to do some power profiling too to make that thing usable
16:16.24systemdlete2let me try to reboot again
16:16.30nemoI have zero familiarity with that btw
16:16.33nemobut... powerstat?
16:16.47systemdlete2same error
16:17.12nemosystemdlete2: yeah. dunno. check your xsession errors or something maybe.  I'm unfamiliar with what XFCE is even using for power management
16:18.02systemdlete2well it's lxqt, xfwm is just the wm
16:18.12systemdlete2it has its OWN power management widget
16:18.17nemoah. thought you were back on XFCE
16:18.24systemdlete2can't reboot!!!
16:18.35systemdlete2I'll have to do this the nasty way

16:32.09systemdletenemo:  Back on my desktop
16:32.44systemdleteNow, when I try to login to xfce4, the entire desktop is gone.  So I tried mate, but I can't get a wireless connection -- says no wireless netowrks found
16:32.59systemdletewhich is nonsense.  There are tons around here that are on all the time.
16:33.30systemdleteThat RMA is beginning to sound good... even relieving!
16:34.36nemohehe
16:34.44systemdleteI'm seriously thinking of re-installing the whole damn laptop with the new 2.1 ISO
16:34.45nemosystemdlete: as for the desktop missing. no idea. some corruption?
16:35.04nemosystemdlete: could check the drive for issues, and run memtest
16:35.14systemdleteI removed .config/xfce4 and tried logging in again, but no dice
16:35.21nemobut expecting the system to work fine on so little power is pretty nuts period
16:35.44nemosystemdlete: probably should ask the xfce channel how you properly reset it
16:35.46systemdleteme or it?
16:35.58nemothat power supply - I'm still stuck on that
16:36.08nemoyou shouldn't have to hack the desktop to support something so ridiculous
16:37.13systemdleteI just googled it, and I did reset it the right way.
16:37.32systemdlete(I actually mv'd the directory, just in case I want to restore some parts of it
16:37.56systemdleteIt looks to me that xfce4 installation is now corrupted somehow.  BTW, there is a ton of free space on that thing.

16:39.26systemdletebut now that I lost wireless also...
16:39.29systemdleteoh
16:40.04systemdleteyesterday, I had to restore my home dir after trying ecryptfs.  But it was only AFTER that restore that I first tried lxqt.
16:40.12systemdleteNot sure if the order makes any difference
16:40.34systemdletenemo:  USB *cable* ?
16:40.57systemdleteI'm pretty sure I'm using the one that came with the laptop, but they all sort of look similar.
16:42.50nemosystemdlete: as for what's going on w/ it, I guess you could just wipe your whole home folder... but if XFCE4 itself is corrupt
16:42.53nemowonder if some desktops conflict
16:43.32nemocould try manually launching XFCE4 desktop manager I guess
16:43.36nemosee if fires up
16:43.40nemo(after logging in, from vt)
16:47.03systemdleteoh it fires up, but my whole config is missing (panels etc)
16:47.12systemdleteI am doing a forced reinstall of xfce
16:47.37systemdletewhy wipe the home folder -- that part seems OK
16:47.52systemdleteagain, restored the whole thing from backup just yesterday
16:48.34systemdleteI think lxqt might be the culprit, actually.  I noticed that the fonts looked shameful, I was able to change some of the fonts, but not some of them.
16:48.51systemdleteprobably needed some additional font packages for lxqt/lxde not sure
16:49.35systemdleteI connected to ethernet and I'm re-installing xfce.  Mate still works, but the power options seem to have issues on all of these desktops.
16:49.39systemdlete(not good)

17:10.35systemdleteHS was a long time ago
17:10.57nemosystemdlete: which is what is so nuts
17:10.58systemdlete"using the GPU" -- ??
17:11.00nemomy laptop does 91W
17:11.06nemomy desktop can provide 350W
17:11.13nemo10W is more like... a mobile phone or tablet
17:11.19systemdletewell, nemo.  This is not a real laptop per se.
17:11.24nemoapparently 😃
17:11.30systemdleteIt is a tablet which has a keyboard dock
17:11.39systemdleteso think:  "tablet"
17:11.40nemosystemdlete: bet it has heat dissipation issues too
17:11.48systemdleteeh, haven't noticed anything
17:12.01nemowell you probably haven't stressed it
17:12.11nemosystemdlete: try charging it to 100% and testing out like some webgl demo
17:12.16systemdleteI'll keep it in mind though, thanks.
17:12.38systemdleteOK.  So we'll meet back here some time next week.
17:12.41systemdlete:D
17:12.42nemosystemdlete: when you enabled hardware compositing on your desktop and layers acceleration in firefox (and possibly webrender in firefox if you enabled it) you were offloading more work onto the GPU. your power consumption apparently fell because you started charging
17:13.10systemdletewell, the charging is back to being very slow, and this is running MATE
17:13.20systemdleteafter a reboot!
17:13.35systemdletealso, I carefully checked all the physical connections
17:14.07systemdlete(made sure brick was completely seated on power strip, connecctors in slots, etc)
17:14.31systemdleteit's flakey.  Verrrrry flakey.
17:14.47systemdletewhich makes this so hard to deduce where the point(s) of failure might be
17:15.34systemdletenemo:  On my desktop, running in a Vbox VM, would compton make any sense?
17:15.54systemdletethe GPU is onboard the CPU afaik
17:16.00systemdleteor it is on the MB
17:16.28systemdleteI'm thinking of this one VM that is really slow
17:16.38systemdleteeven if I am ONLY running ff

17:36.17nemosystemdlete: for most of my systems at home it is not a win. My theory is that it is because I am vRAM constrained or the GPU's handling of vRAM is buggy, since the accelerated desktops seem to cause corruption/glitching
17:36.32nemosystemdlete: for your «laptop» it seems your main issue is power consumption
17:36.35systemdleteI've noticed that.
17:36.53nemoas for wifi completely failing. maybe check dmesg.  maybe a hardware kill accidentally got enabled
17:37.03nemoalternatively if you lost it after update, maybe check for loss of firmware
17:37.11systemdleteI'm shutting the laptop down, then I'll try a "cold" start -- btw, the laptop is surprisingly cool, even after being on for a day
17:37.18nemoalso, consider testing as a different user, like "guest" in case you completely screwed up your main user
17:37.30systemdleteGOOD IDEA!

17:40.04systemdleteI think so -- I don't often watch videos on it.  I'd rather watch them on the TV!!
17:40.20systemdletefor one thing, the sound is louder
17:40.34nemoeh. I'm sure there'd be a time you'd want to do it. airport or whatever
17:40.41systemdletesure.
17:41.01systemdleteyou are right, of course.  to the best of my recollection, videos seem to play fine.
17:44.27nemosystemdlete: fair nuff. but might discover it running out of juice
17:44.58nemosystemdlete: WRT running hot, my thought is, if the system is designed w/ an itsy bitsy 10W PSU, the assumptions the system are designed around are probably 10W
17:45.20nemosystemdlete: if you do an activity (watching a 2h video) that consumes 20 or 30W, even that piddling amount might possibly overwhelm its tiny brain
17:45.35nemoand btw, if you are streaming netflix, the BS DRM VM is probably gonna suck up even more

19:54.09eyalrozHello devuaners,
19:54.24systemdleteMy real question is, are we CERTAIN that they are (mostly) equivalent?
19:54.29eyalrozI'd like to draw your attention to this issue with cinnamon, nm-applet and the wicd applet:
19:54.29eyalrozhttps://unix.stackexchange.com/q/555630/34868
19:54.32systemdleteI mean, has it been tested?
19:55.15systemdleteReason I am asking is I am thinking of re-installing my laptop, which is experiencing a lot of weirdness, esp. for the time approximately since the upgrade.
19:55.26eyalrozAnd to ask whether something more distro-integrated could be possible.
19:56.23systemdleteeyalroz: Can't you remove it from the startup options?
19:56.36systemdleteOr do I misunderstand the question?
19:56.37eyalrozsystemdlete: No, it's baked in.
19:56.50eyalrozThere are ugly(ish) workarounds.
19:56.57systemdleteSo cinnamon has no "system startup" configuration UI?
19:57.26systemdletexfce, mate, lxde, lxqt all have it. That's how I am able to configure, say, a clipboard to start at login
19:57.28eyalrozIt has, but it doesn't let you not-load nm-applet

20:18.32systemdleteI'm talking about the startup UI
20:18.47eyalrozsystemdlete: It's not in the startup UI AFAICR.
20:18.59systemdleteoh, I see.
20:19.03nemosystemdlete: odds are it's just the rest is reserved by your graphics card
20:19.06eyalrozYup, not there.

20:20.40systemdlete[nemo continually deprecates systemdlete's little tablet/laptop and makes him cry, regretting ever buying the stupid thing already...]
20:20.48nemosystemdlete: if you want to test more of it you can probably go into BIOS settings and set vram as low as possible
20:21.02nemosystemdlete: heee I'm very bitter about it as you can see 😝
20:21.11systemdleteI don't know if the EFI has that option, but I can check.
20:21.25systemdleteYes, I DO indeed see how bitter you are!

20:43.08tuxd3vI am on ascii and using ascii qemu version.. maybe Ineed to update the qemu packages too on ascii, and then try to Crossdebootstrap..
20:43.28nemotuxd3v: backports qemu?
20:43.43systemdletebtw, that concession of mine was for nemo, not you tuxd3v.  (I'm tired; didn't sleep last night)
20:44.30tuxd3vnemo, probably I will checl ascii-backports :)
20:44.36tuxd3vthanksfor the sugestion ;)
20:45.13nemolol. I've got no clue just FYI 😃
20:45.37nemoif I was going to attempt arm builds, I'd probably just do it on the raspberry pi or pinebook
20:47.05tuxd3vheheh interestingly, this also afects MS Windoes services in linux:

20:50.09tuxd3vnemo, I do them for the hardware I have
20:50.12tuxd3v:)
20:50.20tuxd3vseveral boards laying around :)
20:50.36tuxd3vthis id actually for rpi1
20:50.39tuxd3varmel
20:50.42tuxd3v:)
20:51.26tuxd3vho you mean natively?
20:51.51nemoyes
20:51.57nemoI've never enjoyed cross-compiles
20:52.03nemowhenever possible I do native hardware
20:52.04tuxd3vnot sure the amount of Ram ~230MB is suficient of rpi1
20:52.06nemoit's always a mess
20:52.06tuxd3v:(
20:52.17nemohm
20:52.22nemothought my RPI1 had a lot more than that
20:52.29nemoI guess it depends on your patience and what you are building
20:52.33tuxd3vthere are 2 versions
20:52.43tuxd3vI own the earlier adopter version
20:52.50tuxd3vwhichis 256MB
20:52.54tuxd3vv1.0
20:53.03tuxd3vlater they releaseda v1.2
20:53.04nemook. yeah, I was in that group. guess I just forgot
20:53.10nemoI have it lying around here somewhere
20:53.10tuxd3vwith 512MB
20:53.16nemoditched it for the rpi3
20:53.55tuxd3vnemo hehe, rpi3 is a diferent thing :)
20:54.36nemotuxd3v: yeah, well I'm not doing packaging
20:54.49nemoit was always just a toy
20:54.50*** join/#devuan IoFran2 (~Thunderbi@189.237.240.124)
20:54.56tuxd3vbut with that, you can do :)
20:54.57nemocomputer w/ handy dandy pins
20:55.09tuxd3vI also do with rpi1, but small ones
20:55.11nemotuxd3v: are you sure it wouldn't work on rpi1?  I built hedgewars on it
20:55.16tuxd3vlike fluxbox
20:55.28nemotuxd3v: it even ran at 15fps at 640x480 in software rendering only which was all that was possible at the time
20:55.56nemotuxd3v: only some things don't build on it, like browsers.
20:56.01tuxd3vthe problem is mybuilder to Crossdebootstrap :(
20:56.12tuxd3vit was coded that way..
20:56.29tuxd3vbut yeah, I can only bootstrap and see what hapens ;)
20:56.42tuxd3vto -> do
21:00.27tuxd3vhere is the fix for glibc: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=fe05e1cb6d64dba6172249c79526f1e9af8f2bfd
