00:18.11H-varthank you derpadmin
00:18.40dvsplp__: I think that driver is in a newer kernel.  You might want to try a backported kernel.
00:18.41derpadminplp__, check if the card is recognized

06:28.06astronavtgood morning and greetings from bullseye
06:28.39davorinsomeone has an idea why a udev won't work when powering on/rebooting?
06:29.44davorinit only works when doing on boot a: echo 1504 008C > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/ftdi_sio/new_id
06:29.55davorinafter that the udev rule works when plugging the usb device in/out

06:34.04*** join/#debian fjavier (~fjavier@170.253.34.44)
06:44.24themilldavorin: that's an unusual vendor for an ftdi device
06:44.42davorinit's a bixolon pos display
06:44.45ratracedavorin: define "won't work". pretty sure udev works or you wouldn't be able to boot at all. do you mean some custom rule you wrote doesn't work as expected?
06:45.01*** join/#debian tommaso (~tommaso@gateway/tor-sasl/tommaso)
06:45.13davorinwell have this rule defined:

06:45.27davorinbut it won't add the /dev/ttyUSB0 device then
06:45.53davorinso had to add this in crontab:
06:46.00davorin@reboot echo 1504 008C > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/ftdi_sio/new_id
06:46.04*** join/#debian martinus__ (~martin@86.16.201.77.rev.sfr.net)
06:46.09davorinthen it works

06:49.52ratracedavorin: you mean the echo works, but the udev rule is not triggered.   RUN+ is not a shell. you must explicitely invoke shell in it
06:50.04ratraceeg.   RUN+="sh -c 'echo ....'"
06:50.16ratracefull path.  /bin/sh -c ...
06:50.26davorinwell the full path is in thee udev rule
06:50.42davorinah with shell
06:50.45ratracedavorin: but    >   is meaningless for "RUN". You need to invoke it in context of a shell for   >   to work
06:51.26davorinbut why does it work afterwards with the "sh" in the rule?
06:52.21davorinin other rules i also don't see a shell
06:52.21ratracebecause contents of RUN are not interpreted as a shell command
06:52.37davorinSUBSYSTEM=="module", ACTION=="add", DEVPATH=="/module/ni_usb_gpib", RUN+="/usr/local/lib/udev/gpib_udevadm_wrapper trigger --property-match DRIVER=ni_usb_gpib"
06:53.12ratracethere is no stdout redirection in there, just a command invocation, which is what RUN does, yes
06:53.41ratraceyou want redirection, you need a shell to interpret it.  OR, put your echo in a script and invoke the script from RUN
06:54.05davorinah now i get it....redirection is the key

07:15.01*** join/#debian Streaker (~Streaker@unaffiliated/streaker)
07:15.15ratracedavorin: so basically the issue is most likely in finding the correct match trigger for the rule. if you have to echo the vendor ID to teh driver to create a new node, it's possible the kernel doesn't even create an event for udev to trigger on it

07:51.37ratracedavorin: the catch22 problem sounds more plausible. udev doesn't get event notification because the kernel doesn't recognize the device, because you have to explicitly add it to the driver via that echo.
07:51.47ratraceie, just use the crontab or write a proper service unit for it even.
07:52.49genr8_or maybe 2 rules somehow
07:52.49davorindoing that now actually...
07:52.59davorinonly crontab...no udev rule
07:53.57davorinand of course forcing the ftdi_sio kernel module load

07:55.01davorina pos display
07:55.09ratraceso basically something that should be plugged in on boot?
07:55.29ratraceor do you specifically require hotplugging it at any time?

07:55.43davorinah no...it should be always plugged in
07:55.48davorinbut you never know (o;
07:56.04ratraceso then having a crontab or service would fix your issue for now
07:56.36davorinbut forcing the ftdi kernel module to accept the usb id is all that's needed apparently

13:55.22mi11k1greycat, ?
13:55.44mi11k1its just the host hardware thats bagging me
13:55.48jimmi11k1, kernels in debian enable every possible module, so that when you install a kernel package, you get all the modules

13:56.09mi11k1i have qemu-guest-agent installed
13:56.20greycatSo... it *looks* like systemd doesn't read /etc/modules directly, but because of the symlink, it reads it indirectly... and because systemd is completely different from the previous program, modules(5) is no longer applicable, and the syntax is not the same.
13:56.54mi11k1i guess what im asking is what is the cloud image and the RT image for?
13:57.04jimgreycat, is there documentation on the thing it reads?
13:57.05ratracegreycat: indeed that'd be the case, and modules-load.d(5) doesn't mention options

13:58.32jimyep, that would be helpful
13:58.44ratraceit would, but frankly it's not systemd's fault that someone was ln -s happy and linked two _different_ config paradigms together.

14:01.01greycatThat's because that man page is from a completely different program, which is not in use on your system.
14:01.05ratracebecause the manpage is not for system'd modules-load.d
14:01.14greycatThe only reason that file is being read *at all* is because of the symlink.
14:01.24jimthat's not my fault :)
14:01.39ratracealso... the mechanisms here at completely different domains. systemd's is convenience "force load" service. the default is autodetection, and modprobe.d belongs to kmod
14:02.37jimbut I see what you're saying, it's not the correct man page in man 5 modules
14:03.31jimratrace, in my case I don't believe the module would be autoloaded at boot
14:04.36ratracesure that's why you'd force load them
14:05.01ratraceI use the list to force load modules because I prefer running with the kernel.modules_disabled=1  sysctl and prevent on-demand module loading
14:05.22ratracebut either way, if you want it loaded on boot, that's the default way

15:32.37dob1jelly, all the users
15:32.38jellyyou can just copy/paste the text.

15:33.15dob1jelly, it is the "whatever way" the problem :)
15:33.26jellyif you have console access you can paste or type it in there
15:33.36dob1I know the key is written is authorized_keys
15:33.48jellyssh-ed25519 pub keys are short enough for that to be an option
15:34.12jellydob1, well how do you gain access to the system _right now_?
15:34.30greycatGenerally you don't disable password auth *until* you have set up key auth and verified that it works, so you have a way to get in.

17:14.46dpkgAs an overview: to work with Debian source packages, add a <deb-src> line to your sources list; cd to a location with free space; download the source package with <apt-get source>; retrieve dependencies with <apt-get build-dep>; edit <debian/rules> to taste; use <dpkg-buildpackage> to build the new .deb.  For more details, also ask me about <package recompile> <backport> <nmg> <policy> <source package>

17:19.24greycatwelcome to free software
17:19.40Matroxnot every distro is like that. more are a bit more organized

17:20.18greycatok, that's fair; Debian has a much higher herd-of-cats aspect than pretty much any other Linux distribution
17:22.02Matroxwell maybe good documentation can help this. athough i was in a debian mentor irc channel, and everyone in there linked me to different guides, and advised me to use different tools. cowbuilder in c, some others in bash/python , some in perl

17:26.30Matroxso i understood which programs are complementary, which are overlapping and which are contradictory
17:26.50ratrace.deb format is also a nightmare in comparison
17:26.52Matroxsince noone told me a clearcut workflow procedure, but various tools

18:32.51maddocHi guys, I'm not sure I'm in the right channel, kinda new to this. If not, please can you tell me what would be the best place? Thanks! Anyway, I'm trying to automate my VPN connection at boot time on my raspberry, my the openvpn client doesn't support anymore passing username and password via the command line. Is there some tool that can watch the
18:32.52maddocstdout of the openvpn client and do something like "at the first input request pass this and at the second one pass that"? I read something about systemd-tty-ask-password-agent, but I didn't understood that much about how it works! Thanks in advance for any help!
18:34.01Brigo!raspberry
18:34.01dpkgThe Raspberry Pi is an open hardware design based on a Broadcom system-on-a-chip, requiring <non-free> <firmware>.  Debian's <armel> port works fine, but does not use the Pi's hardware floating point unit.  Debian's <armhf> port targets a newer revision of the ARM chip than is in the Pi, so armhf will not work on it.  http://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi  http://www.raspberrypi.org/  #raspberrypi on irc.freenode.net.
18:34.14greycatYour best choice would be to read the docs for your VPN client and learn how to configure it without going through silly crap like this.  But what you literally asked for is called "expect".
18:38.14maddocOk, I tried but there seems to be no way, seems to be a recent change and I couldn't find any decent solution. However I'll try digging a little more, maybe updating my client to a newer version. Thanks a lot for the answer!

18:43.22Matroxis there a way to drop root privilages for Xorg?
18:43.29Matroxit runs as root only it seems.
18:43.39unixbsdmaddoc: there is likely a debug option to check the stdout of openvpn where it fails. sometimes it comes from server, because the vpn server is not easy to install for admins.
18:44.10unixbsdtehre is on buster a package   xserver-xorg-legacy that gives users more freedom.
18:44.13greycatMatrox: it should run as you, by default, starting with Debian 9.  The exception is if you're using a device which requires legacy support, and went out of your way to install the old setuid X wrapper.
18:44.14Matroxi used Xwrapper.config to make it run as a normal user without sudo, but this seems to use suid
18:44.26Matroxand Xorg still runs as root
18:44.32greycatMatrox: what version of Debian is this?
18:45.00unixbsdyou can install legacy and you have more freedom then. and also : dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-legacy
