IRC log for #devuan on 20210417

00:00.11systemdlete2Or, conversely, anyone aware of any float bugs with the kernel itself?
00:01.24systemdlete2I'm trying to avoid another foot-in-mouth moment...
00:04.49systemdlete2wanders off to check on perl floating point issues...
00:04.57gnarfacesystemdlete2: i'm not familiar with any such issues off the top of my head but try installing amd64-microcode from non-free.  if there is actually a glitch in the chip's hardware itself, that's where they would have put a fix
00:05.23systemdlete2thanks gnarface!
00:05.47gnarface(also carries the specture/meltdown patches though too, so you may lose some performance, though not as much as the Intel counterparts do, so there's that at least...)
00:06.33gnarfacei think you'll need to reboot for that package to be actually used but i'm not sure
00:06.48systemdlete2I think I might already have those, but I'll double check anyway
00:07.55gnarfaceif you didn't, i think you might notice at most a ~10% performance hit for certain corner cases
00:08.12systemdlete2turns out that I don't have it installed on that VM.  Doing it now
00:08.42gnarfacehmm, on the vm... for that package, i wonder if it matters that it is in the vm or not as long as the host has it though?  that's one i don't know the answer to though
00:09.26gnarfacemaybe make sure you have firmware-linux-free, too.  but it's rare for that one to be omitted accidentally
00:13.09*** join/#devuan se7en (~se7en@se7en.powered.by.lunarbnc.net)
00:15.31systemdlete2I have firmware-linux-free already.  And you were right; I will have to reboot
00:15.48systemdlete2a bit of a nuisance, now that my desktop is all configured the way I want.
00:16.07systemdlete2Can I save my open windows somehow (titles and cwd's)?
00:16.51systemdlete2xfce, but I am using mate terminals
00:19.20gnarfacehmmm, there are numerous ways but if you can use built-in xfce startup features that is the best probably
00:19.38gnarfacethere should be some way to make it try to save your session automatically
00:19.41systemdlete2I do, but... ah well
00:19.54systemdlete2it's just a nuisance, that's all
00:23.43systemdlete2In xfce settings manager, "Automatically save settings on logout" checkbox.  Thanks

11:57.56gourhello, by the wisdom acquired here, i did ceres --> chimaera move to settle on (more) stable releases...now i had to do some manual work to resolve firefox --> firefox-esr downgrade, but wonder if anyone can think about some similar package which might differ in unstable vs stable releases?

17:00.34I_am_nobody777Hi
17:03.54gnarfaceI_am_nobody777: if you have any questions just ask and try to be patient, it can be a slow channel
17:04.38I_am_nobody777I've a minimal live devuan uefi image . I was hoping to do a minimal "chimaera" install with debootstrap , I've updated debian keyring , debootstrap , ca-certificates in the live system , but there is no chimaera script  in debootstrap scripts directory .
17:06.11I_am_nobody777gnarface: ok ,
17:07.06gnarfaceyou need a recent enough version of debootstrap
17:08.03gnarfacei think the one from chimera and ceres are the same on but the beowulf one may be to old now
17:08.25gnarfaceand the debian one still won't work either i don't think
17:14.23I_am_nobody777gnarface: So , I changed the source list to chimaera in the live system , synced the repo , updated the necessary packages (debian-keyring , debian-archive-keyring , debootstrap) and now the chimaera script exists  , and debootstraping now . Thanks .
17:21.37fsmithreddebootstrap in beowulf-backports has chimaera
17:23.16I_am_nobody777fsmithred: Hi , thanks for the info , but I just finished debootstraping .
17:35.09*** join/#devuan pablocastellanos (~emergency@li79-248.members.linode.com)
17:42.26rwpI also think that a minimum debootstrap is small and targeted enough that a beowulf bootstrap and then immediate upgrade to chimaera is the same as a chimaera bootstrap.
17:42.43rwpI guess I should test that theory since it is easy enough to do and then I will know if I am spouting nonsense or not...
18:16.05rwpLooking in Beowulf I find that Chimaera can be debootstrap'd using "testing" as the alias name with no problem.
18:17.23*** join/#devuan Defender1031 (~DeFender1@93-173-123-121.bb.netvision.net.il)
18:17.40rwpThe only thing needed to enable "chimaera" as a name is top create a symlink: ln -s ceres /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/chimaera
18:18.33rwpOr simply use the "testing" name for installation as it is the same at this point.  Then for long term use modify sources.list to use the "chimaera" suite name.
18:21.56rwpI also highly recommend applying one of the fsync() patches for performance from: https://bugs.debian.org/700633

18:44.01rwpHappy to hear you are good to go I_am_nobody777!  All good!  However if you are asking then there will be many others asking the same questions too.
18:44.41rwpI use debootstrap frequently and it is worthwhile for me to know some of these details about it.
18:49.27I_am_nobody777Good , Thanks .
