13:20.19 | sysop2 | users=user |
13:25.03 | Leander256 | I think that the short story is: KDE5 depends on systemd, so there's no KDE5 |
13:25.29 | sysop2 | oh no! |
13:26.05 | debdog | hmm, IIRC some gentoo user told me his on KDE5 and I am very certain he does not use systemd. let me check |

13:27.12 | telst4r | maybe KDE5 can be compiled --without-systemd ? |
13:27.20 | telst4r | or --disable-lennart ? |
13:27.52 | sysop2 | this says its optional. but it could be full of it. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=KDE-Plasma5-Systemd |
13:28.28 | debdog | I am not a kde user. but what do the version numbers mean there? https://dpaste.de/uA34/raw |
13:29.11 | debdog | yes, he confirmed. kde5 without systemd. mayhap the gentoo wiki knows something about it |
13:29.44 | sysop2 | thanks! |
13:30.04 | DusXMT | # aptitude install kde-plasma-desktop |
13:30.07 | DusXMT | 0 packages upgraded, 358 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. |
13:30.11 | DusXMT | Huh... |
13:30.45 | DusXMT | (or is it that Jessie has kde4?) |
13:31.15 | DusXMT | No, 5:84 |
13:31.35 | debdog | so it should be the deafult, right? |
13:31.39 | debdog | *default |
13:31.59 | sysop2 | jessie has KDE4 as far as I can tell. hold on let me make sure |
13:32.03 | Leander256 | apt refuses to install kde-full, though, there must be a systemd dependency somewhere |
13:32.38 | DusXMT | sysop2: yes, you're right, plasma-desktop: 4.11.3 |
13:33.02 | DusXMT | So sorry for bringing your hopes high =3 |
13:33.18 | sysop2 | thanks. I double checked the plasma programs name and its named plasma-desktop insteal of plasmashell. |
13:33.35 | sysop2 | so def kde4 |
13:33.39 | debdog | the conversation with the kde5 guy: https://dpaste.de/a99z/raw |
13:34.08 | debdog | so the gentoo guys prolly know how to compile it without systemd and even without pam |
13:34.23 | DusXMT | debdog: With Gentoo, it's as easy as USE='-systemd' |
13:34.24 | sysop2 | sweet I have no problems with sddm |
13:34.42 | DusXMT | Which is the default in most "system profiles" |
13:35.01 | sysop2 | does pam uses systemd now? |
13:36.54 | DusXMT | doesn't pam stand for "pluggable authentication module"? I'd think it's just a feature that can be turned on and off to allow key-based login, but forgive my ignorance if I'm incorrect =3 |

13:53.17 | DusXMT | debdog: It's definitely possible, but at the same time, it'll increase the amount of packages that need to be "forked" from debian |

14:31.24 | zdzichu | convinced that fear-driven development is really the best strategy to |

14:31.57 | Lydia_K | LOL |
14:32.12 | hellekin | belongs to #debianfork anyway |
14:33.20 | zdzichu | oh, you're right hellekin; I'm sorry |
14:35.34 | hellekin | I guess we need more active development, so there's no incentive to derail the discussion. |
14:36.27 | zdzichu | is it me, or is the virtually zero development discussions on this channel? |
14:36.29 | hellekin | With more development, there will be no time left to waste on Poettering. Frankly, I don't understand that "cult of anti-personnality". There's something morbid about it. |
14:36.45 | Lydia_K | There is sometimes development discussion in here. |
14:36.50 | Lydia_K | It comes in bursts |
14:37.05 | hellekin | zdzichu: this is Summer time, everything is slowing down. |
14:37.49 | Lydia_K | I'm sure once we have an offical non-beta release we'll start to gain more attention, and as a result more contributers. |
14:46.58 | zdzichu | I'm here since 2014 and it is hard to come by real dev discussion |
14:47.53 | Lydia_K | I've been here almost a year, and I've seen a decent amount. There was like a month there were this channel actually was mostly dev discussion stuff, but yeah, still mostly non-dev related. |
14:56.01 | golinux | hellekin: Can you please have a look at https://git.devuan.org/devuan-packages/slim/issues/14 |
14:57.32 | golinux | And the one following |
14:57.48 | golinux | Is that doable? |
15:02.58 | hellekin | golinux: I need to make space on my computer to run a VM with slim and have a look. Two things: 1) the slim config we have now was made for single user, single DE; 2) multi-user, multi-DE slim is probably not the best choice (but don't take my word for it, since I don't use multi-* nor a session manager in general) |
15:03.30 | hellekin | I've been running out of space for at least two months and it's quite annoying actually. |

15:08.33 | golinux | hellekin: Who said anything about multi-user? |
15:09.19 | hellekin | golinux: someone mentioned it |
15:09.49 | golinux | We would just like to put some notes on the login page to point user how to 1)switch DE and 2) shutdown etc. from the login window. |
15:10.25 | golinux | I don;t remember seeing that. I agree that single user is all we need. |
15:10.54 | golinux | I hope that there will be enough room on the panel to do that. |
15:11.01 | golinux | hellekin: ^^^ |
15:11.16 | DusXMT | What about lightdm? Does it have the required multiuser features? |
15:11.47 | hellekin | golinux: how would you do that in non-English? I don't think it's supported |
15:12.13 | hellekin | man slim would be a better place for this information. |
15:12.57 | golinux | DusXMT: slim is et for Jessie. |
15:13.03 | hellekin | DusXMT: lightDM isn't as light as slim from what I can remember |
15:13.13 | golinux | Problem is that people don;t rtfm. |
15:13.29 | golinux | It's already on the README |
15:14.23 | golinux | Which amazingly I managed to find. Which shows you how few users think to look at basic docs, me included. |
15:15.24 | golinux | The login option is not up for debate for Jessie. Period. |
15:15.58 | golinux | hellekin: English is better than nothing. |
15:16.43 | hellekin | a package README is for maintainers, not users. The man command is for users, and they should learn to use it. |
15:17.06 | golinux | hellekin: How about an external hdd? Or a bigger internal? |
15:17.26 | hellekin | I disagree with "English is better than nothing". English is only one language, and if a program does not support any other language, that's a defect IMO> |
15:17.34 | golinux | almost never uses man pages |
15:17.43 | hellekin | golinux: I don't have any resource to buy anything. |
15:17.55 | golinux | What about dyne? |
15:18.11 | golinux | jaromil ^^^ |
15:18.19 | hellekin | I already have two (full) spare 2.5 disks from older laptops, but no adapter (I left it in Buenos Aires) |
15:18.54 | DusXMT | hellekin: As a non-native speaker, I personally consider English to be _the_ universal language, since it is taught all across the globe. Having something the majority of people can understand is better than not having anything |
15:18.59 | hellekin | and frankly that's not a priority |
15:19.13 | DusXMT | I know esperanto tried to take this position, but English unfortunately beat it |
15:19.48 | hellekin | DusXMT: it's just a very bad design to have some opening screen with a foreign language, especially for a feature 99% of users will ignore. |
15:19.59 | hellekin | but I'm not the authority on this you know. |
15:20.07 | DusXMT | Then there should be an easy way to disable it |
15:21.19 | golinux | hellekin: Is there even enough room to put that info on the panel? |
15:22.40 | golinux | It's a bit of a kludge but as DusXMT agreed, better than nothing. |
15:23.40 | DusXMT | (by the way, I'm just an observer and user, don't take my opinions too seriously :) |
15:28.36 | hellekin | golinux: it probably depends on the display size, and how much information is necessary. Maybe there's a tooltip that could be used. |
15:30.59 | golinux | OK. Now that the sludge dump is history, I can focus on Devuan. It's soooo nice to be back. |
15:31.31 | Lydia_K | sludge dump? |
15:33.03 | hellekin | Lydia_K: golinux started a campaign against a chemical dump in her zone, but the project was canceled soon after the campaign started. Probably they have other alternate places with less citizen watch over ecological matters. |
15:34.19 | Lydia_K | Oh wow |
15:34.32 | DusXMT | Very impressive |
15:34.33 | Lydia_K | so literal "Sludge dump" |

15:45.22 | hellekin | time is most often underestimated (unless you have industrial/military organization with a clear chain of command and pawn-like actors) |

16:45.41 | Akuli | lets see |
16:46.21 | Akuli | it works just fine for me. which python are you running it in? |
17:00.18 | fsmithred | sorry, I went afk |
17:00.27 | fsmithred | Akuli, python3, I think |
17:00.38 | fsmithred | can't test right now, the big computer is off |
17:00.55 | Akuli | file:/// works fine for me with python 3 |
17:01.39 | fsmithred | oh, maybe I needed a third slash |
17:01.59 | hellekin | the third / matches the filesystem's root directory |
17:02.22 | fsmithred | choosing a file from file manager (thunar) didn't work, either |
17:02.52 | fsmithred | hey, if you don't have to run off right away, I'll fire up the beast and try it again |

17:24.46 | fsmithred | hang on. |
17:25.06 | Akuli | you can actually feed code into python from stdin |

17:29.48 | Akuli | probably not, at this point its what i want it to be |

17:30.12 | fsmithred | ok, thanks for adding requested features. |
17:30.17 | Akuli | :) |
17:30.45 | gci_admin | Howdy folks. I have installed Devuan beta 1 on an HP ZBook 15 for one of our managers. Everything works. The only problem that I see is when one logs out of the desktop, the screen goes blank and the system no longer responds to keyboard input. The only "fix" is a hard power reset. :( |
17:30.46 | fsmithred | hope you don't mind that I renamed it - akuli-webbrowser.py |
17:31.02 | gci_admin | Where do I go to diagnose this? |
17:31.13 | Akuli | fsmithred, no problem |
17:32.21 | fsmithred | gci_admin, can you get to a console with ctrl-alt-fn? |
17:32.37 | fsmithred | I mean when still logged in to desktop |
17:32.43 | Akuli | you probably mean like ctrl+alt+f1 or something :) |
17:32.54 | fsmithred | yes, n=number |
17:33.01 | Akuli | fn is a special key in most new laptops |
17:33.05 | Akuli | "new" :D |
17:33.12 | fsmithred | yeah, I thought about that after I typed it |
17:33.22 | fsmithred | on this laptop that has a Fn key |
17:33.44 | gci_admin | fsmithred, while logged in, yes. Akuli, i knew what he meant, even though there is a [Fn] key. ;) |
17:34.07 | fsmithred | ok, what first came to mind is to boot with 'nomodeset' in the boot command |
17:34.31 | Akuli | so you think its a graphics driver issue? |
17:34.32 | fsmithred | nvidia is famous for black screen, but I don't think they're unique in that. |
17:34.57 | gci_admin | FTR, the console fonts are freaking tiny. Fairly difficult to read with me old eyes. :P |
17:35.03 | Akuli | to me they usually occur while doing some heavy work, like watching a video |

17:36.18 | gci_admin | Apparently this is being set to some ridiculously high resolution. |
17:36.50 | Akuli | setfont is a command for changing the font.. im trying to figure out how to actually use it :D |
17:37.39 | fsmithred | maybe change grub gfxpayload or run dpkg-reconfigure console-setup |
17:38.35 | gci_admin | fsmithred, thanks, I'll check that. |
17:39.32 | fsmithred | I always change the console font to vga, with makes it a little bolder |
17:39.42 | Akuli | by the way, how can i change my default keyboard layout? |
17:39.56 | fsmithred | dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-layout, I think |
17:40.01 | fsmithred | maybe layouts |
17:41.34 | fsmithred | pretty sure you can set it at boot, too. |
17:41.51 | fsmithred | I know I've done it with syslinux, I'm not sure if it's the same with grub |
17:43.15 | Akuli | turned out to be keyboard-configuration, thanks |
17:43.21 | gci_admin | Hmmm, changed to VGA, restarted, hit Ctrl+Alt+F1, console font is still tiny. |
17:44.39 | gci_admin | Now, cannot get a desktop. :/ |

17:48.17 | gci_admin | I get the Devuan default login screen, try to login, screen flashes and does nothing for several seconds with the green background still visible, then goes blank and does not respond to keyboard. This is worse than it was. :P |
17:49.04 | gci_admin | Luckily, I can get console /before/ trying to login. So I will see if I can fix it. |

18:18.22 | fsmithred | been a long time since I used the nvidia driver from the repo - I usually get it from nvidia |
18:19.41 | gci_admin | Got it. I used "nvidia-driver", but on reboot had no X screens. So had to install "nvidia-xconfig" and run that. Then logged in as a user, ran "startx" and got a desktop. logged out, rebooted and all is well. :) |
18:19.59 | fsmithred | cool |
18:20.12 | gci_admin | Apparently nouveau and this hardware just don't play well together. ;) |
18:21.42 | fsmithred | with my old nvidia card, I had to add nomodeset when running the nvidia driver to avoid black screen, then wtih the newer card, I had to stop using nomodeset, because it caused a black screen |
18:21.56 | Akuli | fsmithred, did you try single user mode? |
18:21.58 | fsmithred | now I use nouveau, and it has some weirdness, but basically works |
18:22.02 | Akuli | or wait, that doesn't have internet i guess |
18:22.11 | fsmithred | single user for what? |

20:59.23 | fsmithred | must be a very powerful laptop screen he was using |

21:04.24 | fsmithred | does the purpy theme need to be packaged? I could do that. |
21:10.04 | Centurion_Dan | fsmithred, I have a bunch of todo's around the theme and desktop-base packages to do. We'll also have to apply a fix to grub2 to add support for grub themes. |
21:11.32 | Centurion_Dan | I also need to sort out a proper approach for SVN & bazaar based debian packages, as they are problematic - particularly the gnome packages. |
21:12.36 | Lydia_K | Cool, I'll check that Centurion_Dan :) |
21:19.17 | Centurion_Dan | Lydia_K: it creates a bunch of templates in /debian that either need modifying or deleting if they're irrelevant to your needs. |

21:23.25 | Centurion_Dan | Lydia_K: make a suites/experimental branch and do it there. The /debian dir adds all the bits that are used by the debian build tools to make the package with all the metadata etc - very similar to rpm in that respect. |

21:37.27 | jaromil | Centurion_Dan: as long as its clear which directory belongs to what startup command, who wants can test the init and then work can go on to check |
21:38.16 | Centurion_Dan | we can manage install/uninstall of them using package triggers tied to the installed init system package. |
