01:04.34 | sedrosken | Is Devuan considered stable for general use yet? I don't want to try it out and be surprised when things don't work as they should |
01:05.57 | sedrosken | I notice it's still considered a beta, should I bother using it beyond basic testing? |
01:08.42 | furrywolf | it generally works fine. gnome is the only thing I've heard of having issues lately... and gnome itself counts as an issue, so no big loss. |
01:09.30 | sedrosken | Coolio! I plan on using MATE, myself, so that's good. |
01:10.33 | sedrosken | I'm on XFCE4 Arch-OpenRC and I'm getting tired of my update process breaking because I'm running an unsuppoorted config. |
01:11.03 | sedrosken | And as much as I like XFCE, I like MATE a bit better. Shame Marco doesn't do quarter tiling, else it'd be perfect in my eyes. |
01:11.49 | fsmithred | you may need to do some tweaking for mate |
01:13.31 | golinux | Yeah, it's a WIP. |
01:15.10 | fsmithred | WIP? |
01:15.32 | golinux | Work In Progress |
01:15.53 | fsmithred | thanks |
01:17.33 | fsmithred | the beta label is mostly because of some details in the installer |
01:17.51 | fsmithred | once you get it installed, it's very stable |
01:18.02 | fsmithred | like... |

01:53.58 | DocScrutinizer05 | sedrosken: there's a sufficient number of reports about devuan working great on servers in productive use. For desktop the impact of systemd-free is more noticeable since a lot of stuff already doesn't work anymore without that cancer. Notorious troublemakers: most desktop environments and network managers and udev and related stuff |
01:54.38 | sedrosken | Oh don't I know it... getting proper power management in XFCE4 under openrc is a major pain |
01:54.58 | sedrosken | and since this is a thinkpad most of the "standard" ways don't work properly |
01:55.15 | sedrosken | xbacklight works fine on my cloudbook, but does absolutely nothing on here |
01:56.11 | sedrosken | I may just try to find a command line tool to control brightness on here and then just use a WM with a panel |
01:56.27 | sedrosken | IceWM is older than the hills but it works just dandy on my cloudbook |
01:56.45 | sedrosken | unfortunately it doesn't do quarter tiling very easily |
02:07.33 | Centurion_Dan | sedrosken: I think thinkpads have a special kernel module and package to get the interfaces set up.... of course I could be way off because I've never had one... |
02:07.56 | sedrosken | I know I'm certainly not buying one again. Not worth the hassle. |
02:08.09 | sedrosken | Especially as the quality seems to get worse and worse. |
02:09.06 | sedrosken | I'm actually afraid to use my T450 like a real laptop, instead I have it tethered to a monitor and usb hub. I'm much more comfortable using my Cloudbook out in the world. |
02:09.41 | sedrosken | My cloudbook has its share of problems as well, dont get me wrong |
02:10.00 | sedrosken | I have to pass certain parameters to the kernel to so much as boot. |
02:10.32 | sedrosken | edd=off, noapic, modprobe.blacklist=pinctrl_cherryview |
02:11.17 | sedrosken | with edd on it hangs, with apic on it kernel panics, and without that module blacklisted xorg freezes every few hours and is in general unstable, and i dont have proper power management |
02:11.52 | sedrosken | but at least it responds to standard system calls in regards to power control |
02:14.27 | sedrosken | oh, and I have to use an LTS kernel or it'll sometimes hang while loading the initial ram filesystem\ |

14:48.01 | fsmithred | nullmark, 256MB should be more than enough to run the installer from any of the isos. It's not enough to run a full desktop comfortably, so you would be better off just installing without the desktop and add a window manager afterward. |
14:48.33 | fsmithred | KatolaZ's mini live would be a faster install, though. |

15:54.55 | KatolaZ | even if the machine uses UEFI, AFAIK |
15:55.36 | fsmithred | pretty sure loadlin just reboots your compuer into linux |
15:55.47 | DocScrutinizer05 | I don't _need_ to, but I _want_ to, since nobody can guarantee that every peripjeral in that tablet will just work under whatever linux distro |
15:55.51 | fsmithred | DocScrutinizer05, have you read this? http://www.rodsbooks.com/efi-bootloaders/ |
15:57.15 | DocScrutinizer05 | I've read http://djinnsour.com/2016/06/04/huawei-matebook-day-4-testing-xubuntu-16-04/ and http://askubuntu.com/questions/666631/how-can-i-dual-boot-windows-10-and-ubuntu-on-a-uefi-hp-notebook |
15:57.50 | DocScrutinizer05 | read that and weep |
15:58.32 | DocScrutinizer05 | particularly >>Step 4: Install Ubuntu first<< in the latter, which is exactly what I seem to not be allowed to do |
15:59.46 | fsmithred | rodsbooks will give you the background information to install, maybe without nuking anything else |
16:00.03 | fsmithred | but good that you have info specific to your hardware, because uefi is not uefi |
16:00.16 | fsmithred | it's whatever the fsck the manufacturer decides to do |
16:03.53 | fsmithred | what happens when you try to install? |

16:08.35 | DocScrutinizer05 | alas this isn't for my hardware, it's for HP |
16:08.58 | fsmithred | oh, HP laptops can be a problem with uefi |
16:09.20 | fsmithred | edbarx posted his experience on dev1galaxy |
16:09.26 | DocScrutinizer05 | HP Pavilion Touchsmart notebook |
16:09.57 | DocScrutinizer05 | mine is Huawei Matebook M5 |
16:10.04 | fsmithred | his was probook |
16:10.18 | fsmithred | https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=15 |
16:11.00 | DocScrutinizer05 | a lot of the info from that HP Pavilion Touchsmart notebook askubuntu is generic though |
16:11.27 | fsmithred | cat you boot install media or live media on it? |
16:11.33 | DocScrutinizer05 | or rather: about windows and generic UEFI issues |
16:11.48 | DocScrutinizer05 | yes |
16:12.07 | fsmithred | and there is free space (unpartitioned) on the hard drive? |
16:12.14 | DocScrutinizer05 | see http://djinnsour.com/2016/06/04/huawei-matebook-day-4-testing-xubuntu-16-04/ - he did exactly that, without any issue as I read it |
16:12.21 | DocScrutinizer05 | no |
16:12.36 | DocScrutinizer05 | of course not, and I have no win10 install disk or keys |
16:13.20 | fsmithred | I don't know if it's changed, but you used to be able to boot into windows, run the partitioner, and shrink the windows partition |
16:13.34 | DocScrutinizer05 | (a killer PITA in itself, WTF?!) |
16:13.50 | fsmithred | no, it's pretty easy |
16:14.01 | DocScrutinizer05 | yes, the instructions above tell you can do this |
16:14.05 | fsmithred | at least it was in vista and 7 |
16:14.40 | fsmithred | then boot into linux, make a linux partition and install the system |
16:14.49 | fsmithred | then you get a choice of installing bootloader or not |
16:15.02 | DocScrutinizer05 | RMB in "system" on 'computer' or whatever, menu item "shrink disk" - ROTFL |
16:15.07 | fsmithred | if you do, it takes over the boot. I have not done uefi install with windows installed. All linux here. |
16:15.44 | DocScrutinizer05 | when I install GRUB, windows is fucked |
16:15.49 | fsmithred | maybe |
16:15.56 | DocScrutinizer05 | not meybe, definitely |
16:16.04 | fsmithred | you could boot linux from the windows bootloader |

16:16.18 | fsmithred | something with bcedit or something like that |
16:16.28 | DocScrutinizer05 | that sounds like a plan |
16:16.34 | fsmithred | hang on |
16:19.43 | DocScrutinizer05 | (win7) that would be almost bearable, I got a 7 ultimate on the one dedicated win PC I need for the inevitable occasional wontdow task |
16:20.03 | DocScrutinizer05 | that box is named LosePC |
16:20.09 | fsmithred | bcdedit |
16:20.25 | DocScrutinizer05 | lemme try |
16:21.11 | fsmithred | http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=131368&p=635947&hilit=bcdedit&sid=3ae3fd7d7b9835e2c921b338789954da#p635947 |
16:21.23 | fsmithred | bcdedit /set "{bootmgr}" path "\EFI\debian\grub64.efi" |
16:21.43 | fsmithred | for example ^^^ |
16:22.10 | fsmithred | uh, I see a problem with that method |
16:22.38 | fsmithred | instructing windows to use the linux efi bootloader requires a linux efi bootloader |
16:22.49 | fsmithred | and if you install grub, it takes over the boot |
16:24.49 | fsmithred | DocScrutinizer05, two more ideas... |
16:25.13 | parazyd | lol |
16:25.15 | fsmithred | 1. don't install bootloader, but put one on usb to boot the linux partition on hard disk |
16:25.15 | parazyd | http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1702.2/05171.html |
16:25.29 | fsmithred | 2. just run a live-usb |

16:26.42 | DocScrutinizer05 | \o/ bcdedit exists |
16:27.39 | DocScrutinizer05 | fsmithred: those two ideas are both not what I want, I'd always need an adapter cable and USB memstick to boot the system |
16:28.34 | fsmithred | maybe make a dd backup of the hard drive before you do anything |
16:29.05 | DocScrutinizer05 | anyway, thanks for now. This is a low prio project that needs to wait a few more hours or days |
16:29.26 | DocScrutinizer05 | I kept notices and will come back to you eventually |
16:29.37 | DocScrutinizer05 | :-) |
16:29.41 | fsmithred | lol, I've been working on a uefi live-installer since June, and I'm deliberately being slow about it |
16:30.33 | DocScrutinizer05 | anyway the matebook itself is excellent hw |
16:30.47 | fsmithred | cool |
16:30.52 | DocScrutinizer05 | now if only it had an excellent OS |
16:30.54 | fsmithred | you running xubuntu or devuan? |
16:31.01 | fsmithred | ok, you answered |
16:31.09 | DocScrutinizer05 | win10 |
16:31.21 | fsmithred | oh, you didn't do any linux on that? |
16:31.39 | DocScrutinizer05 | not yet, this is what all the fuzz above was all avout |
16:31.54 | DocScrutinizer05 | this device is 48h old |
16:32.19 | DocScrutinizer05 | and also 48h since I first touched win10 in my life |
16:32.47 | DocScrutinizer05 | it's not as bad as I expected, but still absolutely unbearable |
16:32.53 | fsmithred | we need the names of all individuals with whom you've had contact since touching 10 |
16:33.16 | DocScrutinizer05 | that's simple, I send you a tarball of my IRC logs |
16:33.23 | fsmithred | lol |
16:33.35 | DocScrutinizer05 | o/ |
16:33.37 | fsmithred | damn, that's a lot of people to quarantine |
16:33.38 | DocScrutinizer05 | dinner |
16:33.46 | fsmithred | enjoy |
16:34.13 | DocScrutinizer05 | well, I feel like I first should have a looong shower ;-) |
