00:03.00 | golinux | Do I have to mount it manually? |
00:03.10 | golinux | brb |
00:08.40 | robert-e | golinux: just got back in here...yes you need to mount it manually. Use the green "flash drive" symbol at the top of the page. The other one next to it does unmounting. |
00:10.57 | robert-e | Or you could use gparted to mount it. I wonder if that might be the problem...maybe the "manual" mount does not really work. I will have to try that using gparted to mount. |
00:12.15 | robert-e | On turther thought, that is not the problem, because I used geany to look at the persistance.conf file, so it had to be mounted correctly. |
00:12.43 | golinux | There was no option to mount in gparted. |
00:13.21 | robert-e | or maybe it is mounting read only..I should try a "save' in geany. |
00:13.40 | golinux | is in a bit over her head |

09:03.31 | rrq | using qemu? |
09:05.52 | rrq | the usb story with qemu is a couple of pages |
09:06.33 | rrq | far from "not doable" but a fair bit of this and that |
09:08.05 | fsmithred | yeah, the image is meant to be put on a thumb drive |
09:08.46 | fsmithred | vdev seems to automount additional partitions on the thumb drive when you boot from usb |
09:10.22 | rrq | I wouldn't think vdev does any mounting??? |
09:11.27 | fsmithred | well, normally, when I boot a live usb, only the first partition gets mounted, plus a persistent partition if 'persistence' is in the boot command. |
09:12.01 | fsmithred | they both get mounted at /lib/live/mount/persistence/ |
09:12.30 | fsmithred | if there's a third partition, it doesn't get mounted. |
09:12.55 | fsmithred | booting with vdev, extra partitions are mounted at /media |
09:14.15 | fsmithred | robert showed me output of df when he tried booting with persistence, first partition was mounted at /lib/live/mount/ |
09:14.29 | fsmithred | That'w where first part gets mounted when booting read-only |
09:14.47 | fsmithred | yet the boot command was for persistence, and sdb2 was mounted under /media |
09:15.26 | fsmithred | I'm wondering if his problem was that the partition was getting mounted at /medium before live-boot had a chance to mount it at persistence/ |
09:18.50 | fsmithred | that should have said /media not /medium |
09:20.44 | rrq | is booting old img as usbdevice on qemu ... veeery slow |
09:21.40 | fsmithred | yeah |
09:22.27 | rrq | I cheated before, and put the img as disk... fast boot and happy running |
09:23.46 | fsmithred | I'm not getting the extra mounts now |
09:24.17 | fsmithred | I know I saw it. I think it was when I booted from hard drive and had a usb plugged in. |
09:24.28 | fsmithred | will try that |
09:25.57 | rrq | maybe I should write it to an actual USB and forward the port instead... though I'd need to learn how. |
09:26.19 | fsmithred | forward what port? |
09:26.30 | rrq | a host USB port |
09:26.41 | fsmithred | oh |
09:26.44 | fsmithred | um |
09:26.57 | fsmithred | why not just boot from real usb? |
09:27.21 | rrq | I'm trialing it on qemu |
09:27.47 | fsmithred | ok |
09:27.57 | rrq | now it's starting |
09:28.12 | fsmithred | there is one problem with that image - I forgot to delete S03vdev |
09:29.02 | fsmithred | there's a way around it, but it requires booting with persistence, and so far, I'm the only one who's been able do that. |
09:29.28 | fsmithred | and I'm not seeing the extra mounts when I boot from hard drive |
09:30.50 | rrq | ok: it mount sdb1 on /lib/live/mount/medium |
09:31.24 | fsmithred | you picked the first entry in the boot menu? |
09:31.30 | rrq | yes |
09:31.35 | fsmithred | ok, that's right |
09:32.03 | fsmithred | not sure what happens in qemu if you pick the third or fourth entry - those are for persistence |
09:32.28 | fsmithred | should be two partitions mounted under /lib/live/mount/persistence |

10:52.58 | rrq | mounts as before. what do I look for? |
10:53.27 | fsmithred | df should show two partitions mounted under /lib/live/mount/persistence |

10:53.54 | rrq | nope. but /proc/cmdline suggests persistence |

11:04.38 | Centurion_Dan | fsmithred & rrq: so where are things at with vdev?? |
11:05.13 | fsmithred | I've been trying to make a live-usb for people to be able to test vdev without installing it |
11:05.27 | fsmithred | vdev itself basically works |
11:06.02 | fsmithred | I've had to make a few changes in action files to get some devices to work |
11:07.07 | fsmithred | rrq and aitor are working on packaging - last thing aitor told me was that your suggestion to add Provides: libudev was working. |
11:07.25 | fsmithred | and I think he's got it so that installing vdev removes udev |
11:07.48 | fsmithred | the version I'm working with (rrq's) leaves both installed |
11:08.06 | fsmithred | and I've got my own setup so that I can boot with either udev or vdev |
11:08.29 | fsmithred | so I can check how udev handles a device and compare that to what vdev does (or doesn't) |
11:09.00 | Centurion_Dan | ok.. cool. I'm keen to look at building and testing vdev packages with a view to adding them to devuan experimental and maybe even jessie-backports, but need to sort amprolla first. |
11:09.41 | fsmithred | that would go a long way to getting people to test it |
11:10.05 | rrq | "my" vdev includes a choice script to altrnate between udev and vdev |
11:10.08 | fsmithred | I haven't looked inside vdev other than action files (key-value pairs) and helper scripts |
11:10.35 | fsmithred | but I think we need someone who can look into the guts of it. |
11:10.41 | rrq | vdev does not include the collection of vendor/product rules that udev has |
11:11.12 | rrq | this especially affects USB device handling |
11:11.37 | rrq | there is a standard for USB classification which comvers a range of classes |
11:11.50 | Centurion_Dan | I've just had a big break through after looking at my python code for a while trying to figure out why my delta algo didn't work as expected only to find that the input files I thought were properly sorted... weren't.... |
11:12.51 | rrq | .. and perhaps the USB classification standard is mostly followed nowadays |
11:13.06 | rrq | doesn't cover scanners though |
11:13.09 | Centurion_Dan | rrq: I thought vdev was supposed to have a compat layer that would use the existing udev rules if vdev specific ones weren't provided.. |
11:14.44 | rrq | I'm not sure it works that way. I thought it was to offer programs emitting udev events to emit them to vdev |
11:15.35 | rrq | but I havent' really digested that part od the code .. just focused on the packaging |
11:19.16 | rrq | if it does rely on udev even as fallback, one can't remove udev |
11:20.38 | rrq | I need to delve into that code to be able to give you a proper answer |
11:20.40 | fsmithred | ssh-keygen is not doing what I want |
11:24.07 | Centurion_Dan | rrq: The standard udev ruleset can be converted permanently but particularly with devices where particular software want's to change or set the rules (cups and sane are good ones for doing that) it's probably better to re-use/convert the existing udev rules - even if it's only done on install/upgrade/removal of those packages... |
11:25.31 | *** join/#devuan penelopa (~penelopa@unstable.nl) |
11:25.50 | Centurion_Dan | If I recall correctly there are udev triggers run for some packages to setup/update rules so we should be able to utilise those triggers for vdev too. |
11:29.36 | fsmithred | rrq, email sent |
11:31.32 | rrq | Centurion_Dan: Though, I have an inuitive resistance against repeating a plain vendor/product mapping or USB devices, whcih is what udev has, and rather have a primary handling based on device/interface class; only use vendor/product for exceptions. And, |
11:32.03 | rrq | either way, it's a hole in the vdevd code that needs to be filled in. |
11:35.28 | rrq | fsmithred: scp X fsmithred@hemma.ddns.name:. |
11:36.12 | rrq | (not too fast link I'm afraid) |
11:39.03 | fsmithred | that's the full command? |
11:39.26 | rrq | yes. replace X of course |
11:39.52 | fsmithred | don't I need to give the path to my private key? |
11:40.07 | fsmithred | can I use sftp instead? I know that. |
11:40.32 | rrq | I don't know :-) worth a try. |
11:40.58 | Centurion_Dan | rrq: Fair enough, but you'll probably find software like cups and sane use device/interface for the most part anyway for their udev rules... |
11:41.21 | rrq | fsmithred: otherwise, you can select your private key with -i |
11:41.54 | Centurion_Dan | fsmithred: scp -i <path to private key> ... |
11:42.13 | fsmithred | already doing it with sftp |
11:42.26 | fsmithred | ah, good - same syntax for scp |
11:42.37 | fsmithred | eta 30min |
11:44.24 | Centurion_Dan | anyway, I'm off to bed, have an early meeting tomorrow... |
11:44.34 | fsmithred | g'night |
11:45.05 | rrq | Centurion_Dan: well scanner is not a USB class so it has to be by vendor/product I'm afraid. But generally I think all rules in /lib/udev/rules.d use vendor/product rather. |
11:46.33 | rrq | perhaps it's in practice unaviodable to have a large number of vendor/product based rules. |
11:47.18 | rrq | but vdevd has one file per rule, so it needs something different |
11:47.54 | rrq | will be all too slow to discard non-applicable rules otherwise |
11:48.28 | fsmithred | is one rule per line faster? |
11:49.01 | rrq | moderately. you'd rather need a hash mechanism |
11:49.01 | fsmithred | and no, I'm not suggesting rules that look like udev rules. |
11:49.33 | fsmithred | do you understand the vdev hwdb? |
11:49.58 | fsmithred | brb |
11:51.04 | rrq | yes. but the issue is whether to embed this know-how about USB into vdevd, which otherwise is a type agnistic event processor. |
11:51.16 | rrq | agnostic, rather |
11:54.06 | fsmithred | what's with the complex directory structure in hwdb? |

13:35.15 | fsmithred | I've been leaving that out in jessie, and it works without it, except in two cases that I know |
13:35.50 | fsmithred | if you have encrypted persistent volume or if you're using open-infrastructure-* instead of live-* |

13:46.11 | fsmithred | oh, maybe |
13:46.23 | fsmithred | but that doesn't explain why robert had trouble |
13:46.46 | fsmithred | maybe timing of some hardware recognition? |
13:46.57 | fsmithred | I should try it on my faster laptop |
13:47.17 | rrq | maybe it originates in bios, faulty bios maybe? |
13:50.04 | fsmithred | maybe. They don't all handle usb drives the same. |

13:54.19 | fsmithred | meanwhile, vdev works fine from the hard drive on this box |
13:55.07 | fsmithred | works ok with udev, and I have persistenc. I'll try the vdev again. |
13:55.11 | rrq | that sounds like a missing evdev module |

15:34.25 | fsmithred | golinux, did you try booting the imaged usb stick on real hardware? |
15:35.10 | golinux | Yes. Several times |
15:35.49 | golinux | Persistence no workie |
15:36.37 | edbarx | Sorry for asking here. I purchased a UEFI based HP laptop on which I am trying to get Wheezy boot but I am failing. I am using legacy boot. |
15:37.05 | fsmithred | golinux, apparently, it only works for me. |
15:37.22 | *** join/#devuan reetp (~john@194.149.220.77) |
15:37.25 | fsmithred | edbarx, is there any operating system on the laptop? |
15:38.02 | fsmithred | i.e. do you care if you have windows? (I think I know the answer, but forgive me for asking anyway.) |
15:38.02 | edbarx | There was Windows 7 which I nuked. I then formatted the HD with GPT. Before it was msdos |
15:38.27 | fsmithred | and it wouldn't boot with either? |
15:38.43 | edbarx | I don't want to use msdos. |
15:39.03 | fsmithred | ok, but it might be good to narrow down the problem |
15:39.12 | edbarx | How? |
15:40.10 | fsmithred | actually, I wouldn't expect it to work with msdos if it doesn't work with gpt |
15:40.19 | muep | my impression is that you are better off using an msdos-style partition table if you are using bios-style bootloader |
15:40.52 | fsmithred | what I've read is that some older mobos can't handle gpt, but some can. |
15:41.12 | edbarx | msdos is limited to four primary partitions. This laptop I am using right now is GPT formatted although it is BIOS based |
15:41.33 | *** join/#devuan TemporalBeing1 (~Ben_Meyer@50.57.17.244) |
15:41.52 | muep | IIRC GPT has some space reserved so that you can also have an MBR there. but having two sets of partition tables adds more possibilities for having some confusing situations |
15:41.55 | fsmithred | yeah, I'm loving gpt. |
15:42.05 | edbarx | If that is the case I can boot your ISO and try to mount a some partitions. If it succeeds it should be OK |
15:42.34 | fsmithred | you trying to boot wheezy from usb or optical disk? |
15:42.34 | muep | I'd prefer to boot an UEFI bootloader on motherboards that have UEFI |
15:43.05 | fsmithred | not bad, if your uefi works. |
15:43.12 | edbarx | I am not mixing GPT and msdos. That would be asking for unnecessary complications. |
15:43.17 | fsmithred | mine is not right - I cannot change the order of bootloaders. |
15:43.39 | fsmithred | other than that, it works. |
15:44.07 | edbarx | I will do some testing to determine whether GPT is supported. |
15:44.11 | fsmithred | edbarx, my iso boots but wheezy doesn't? |
15:44.48 | edbarx | Wheezy did booted but with the help of the bootloader from a CD. |
15:45.09 | fsmithred | you trying to boot with usb-3? |
15:45.19 | edbarx | No, from a CD |
15:45.54 | fsmithred | now I'm confused. |
15:46.12 | fsmithred | what was the bootload from the CD, and where was wheezy? |
15:46.34 | edbarx | Don't bother. These are teething problems. It will be resolved. I only need to be patient. |
15:46.49 | edbarx | Wheezy is installed to a partition |
15:46.59 | edbarx | on GPT disk |
15:47.12 | fsmithred | installed while in uefi or bios mode? |
15:47.22 | edbarx | Legacy |
15:47.44 | fsmithred | is there 1MB of free space before the first partition? |
15:48.07 | edbarx | Yes. But I might be missing something about that. |
15:48.48 | fsmithred | I know you already know this, but you should be able to boot into wheezy using whatever bootloader you can, and then running grub-install /dev/sda |
15:48.51 | fsmithred | with success. |

15:49.29 | edbarx | I did dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc which did it for me. |

15:49.35 | fsmithred | ok |

15:50.13 | fsmithred | I don't know what causes it. |
15:50.24 | fsmithred | and it doesn't seem to be consistent. |
15:50.36 | fsmithred | so, maybe spin-up time on hard drive. That's a guess. |

15:53.52 | fsmithred | another angle, which I'm sure you'll like almost as much as having windows - install to uefi, then switch to bios. |

19:31.26 | fsmithred | Refracta-8 |
19:31.29 | fsmithred | lol |
19:32.01 | fsmithred | I got altoids and some generic coffee-flavored hard candy. |
19:32.16 | Lydia_K | I'll take it! |
19:32.47 | fsmithred | meet me at the castle. |
19:33.05 | fsmithred | fair damsel. |
19:33.31 | Lydia_K | Huh.. castle huh? That's a strange place for a stranger to have candy, but ok! |
19:34.47 | fsmithred | uh-oh |
19:34.51 | Lydia_K | Seriously though, nice work :) |
19:34.57 | fsmithred | thanks. |

19:35.18 | fsmithred | Much thanks to the Devuan team for making it possible to have a fully functional desktop. |
19:35.25 | fsmithred | without... |
19:35.39 | golinux | fsmithred: What's the strangeness going on in our PM |
19:36.36 | fsmithred | I saw the strangeness here in the main room. |
19:36.46 | fsmithred | -spb- who are you? |
19:39.01 | fsmithred | ~-spb- |
19:39.14 | Lydia_K | O.o |
19:39.15 | fsmithred | not sure if I did that right. |
19:40.43 | Lydia_K | LOL, I just noticed the wall |
19:43.26 | fsmithred | wall? |
19:45.03 | fsmithred | Lydia_K, what's the wall? |
19:46.28 | Lydia_K | Write ALL |
19:46.36 | fsmithred | ALL |
19:47.03 | fsmithred | um, that's not what you mean, is it? |
19:47.06 | Lydia_K | wall - write a message to all users |
19:47.08 | Lydia_K | man wall |
19:47.10 | Lydia_K | check it out |
19:47.13 | fsmithred | here? |
19:47.21 | Lydia_K | On a linux box |
19:47.26 | Lydia_K | or any unix box really |
19:48.29 | Lydia_K | You've never used the old unix messaging utilities? |
19:48.33 | fsmithred | I think I've used write before. |
19:48.43 | Lydia_K | mesg, wall, and my favorite, talk |
19:48.44 | fsmithred | to someone in the next room |
19:48.49 | Lydia_K | I still use talk sometimes. |

19:51.23 | Lydia_K | I have a few unixy friends who have logins to one or two of my servers. |
19:51.42 | Lydia_K | If I want ultra private communication I tell them to log in, then use talk to speak to them. |
19:51.45 | Lydia_K | It's awesome. |

19:52.03 | OmegaPhil | Lol. |
19:52.15 | OmegaPhil | Why not maintain your own IRC server |
19:52.21 | OmegaPhil | SSH into it etc |
19:52.28 | fsmithred | so, what happened a few minutes ago? Did you get yelled at by a bot for using all caps? |
19:52.44 | *** part/#devuan riesebie (~riesebie@HSI-KBW-46-223-54-142.hsi.kabel-badenwuerttemberg.de) |
19:53.26 | Lydia_K | Oh man, back in the day I ran a server with a bunch of my friends on it, I wrote some messaging scripts that would let you leave a message for another user that would be echoed upon login (via /etc/profile stuff) |
19:53.48 | OmegaPhil | Fancy. |
19:54.23 | Lydia_K | It actually saved my ass when I missed a connecting flight from London to Warsaw, I used a pay by the minute internet terminal (this was a long time ago) to send an email to my friend who was supposed to pick me up, but I had this bad feeling that the email didn't go through |
19:54.49 | Lydia_K | so I found some webpage with a java ssh shell, that amazingly worked on this horrible web kiosk, then logged into my box and left him a message. |
19:55.03 | fsmithred | wow |
19:55.08 | Lydia_K | He never got the email, but he logged into my server (named monolith) and saw the message I had left him. |
19:55.19 | OmegaPhil | Nice :) |
19:55.27 | Lydia_K | And was able to pick me up at the airport (which was like a building a strip of pavement in the middle of nowhere) |
19:56.02 | Lydia_K | I miss having a box with users like that. |
19:56.31 | Lydia_K | secret messages and clandestine communications, those were the days. |

23:20.19 | rrq | Centurion_Dan: re vdev. It comes in three packages, which installs and work nicely on Devuan 1.0.0. But they install as "tentative" competitor to udev, with a manual script that lets you go back and forth between using vdev or udev. |
23:22.06 | rrq | I would suggest not adding them to backports yet, but probably to updates. Vdev is functionally incomplete wrt USB device handling. Otherwise perfectly safe to use afaik. |
23:22.38 | rrq | And after installing, a user can go back to udev in between trialling vdev. |
23:23.12 | robert-e | rrq: I did that about an hour ago (after making a clonezilla image of hd). It was not successful, as it would not startx on a reboot. Ran script again to choose udev, and same result..no xserver. |
23:23.55 | robert-e | rrq: So I reimaged the hd, and await for another day. No problems. Thanks |
23:24.03 | rrq | right. though you are using fsmithred's image, or is this vaniall Devuan? |
23:24.11 | rrq | vanilla |
23:24.22 | robert-e | rrq: vanilla devuan, fully updated. |
23:25.09 | rrq | ok. ta. right. so maybe the packaging is still lacking (as well). hmm |
23:25.59 | robert-e | rrq: It is a really good idea if it can be pulled off. I did intall the 3 debs off your git site |
23:26.29 | robert-e | rrq: I took the ones from 3 days ago. |
23:28.19 | robert-e | rrq: You are talking to Danial, so I will get out of here and let you guys carry on. |
23:28.46 | rrq | yes would be the latest. I can't do things now but would be interested in exploring the reason. |
23:30.07 | robert-e | rrq: sure, we can do that, when you are inclined. Last line on the screen was the "can't start xserver--giving up" or some-such. bbl |
23:30.39 | rrq | perhaps you could try using libudev1-compat_1.2 instead... the new version 1.2.1 includes a special "fix" that possibly would explain. |
23:31.38 | robert-e | rrq: I used the 1.2.1 version |
23:32.36 | rrq | yes. I made a "fix" which makes sure libudev1-compat overrides libudev1, which wasn't the case previously. |
23:33.06 | rrq | with 1.2 I think mot things will keep using libudev1 even in vdev choice mode |
23:33.15 | rrq | mot=most |
23:33.45 | robert-e | rrq: Timefor my evening "mess of pottage"..will try your suggestion after dinner. Thanks for all. |
23:34.07 | rrq | off hand. libudev is the only connection between [uv]dev and Xorg |

23:59.18 | fsmithred | rrq, robert-e, I had a weird thing with xorg in one of the installs with vdev. No display manager on this one. I enter 'startx' and it looks like it's starting, then hangs. I have to hit ctrl-alt-F2 then go back to ctrl-alt-F1 and the desktop is there. Except yesterday (or early this morning?) it was on ctrl-alt-F7. |
