00:55.03frodo654321hi there ..
00:57.03frodo654321question: what does or does not work if systemd is not present. I have a very small set of apps I use on the desktop. I read somewhere Gnome and KDE breaks if systemd is not present. How did they manage to break the desktop to fix the init process .. thanking you ....
00:57.39MinceRtrick question, they did not fix the init process
00:57.43MinceRthey broke that too
00:58.38gnarfacefrodo654321: some stuff related to battery/temperature/hibernation stuff got rolled into systemd, then dutiful little shills at Gnome decided to re-code to require it, and the old lm-sensors developers apparently obediently also packed it in so there was no competing compatibility measures left "supported"
00:58.53frodo654321I assume the DE is just another userland app that fires up, why make it dependent on a particular init process?
00:58.57gnarfacefrodo654321: also i think maybe some login daemon stuff too
00:59.15gnarfacefrodo654321: oh, there's schadenfreude going on for sure.  no question about it.
00:59.36gnarfacefrodo654321: if you're looking at the whole picture and thinking "this looks fishy" yea... you're right.
01:00.36frodo654321As I also read, they rolled udev into systemd, didn't work, systemd developers said not our problem, we don't know that stuff.
01:00.43frodo654321What an attitude !
01:00.49gnarfacefrodo654321: they're trying to make systemd *so much more* than just an init system.  they're trying to roll the entire userland into it, basically, starting with anything normally run by root.
01:01.09gnarfacefrodo654321: yea, the udev thing is a ongoing pain in the ass, but primarily only for gamers
01:01.30frodo654321OK, I'm moving to devuan (from lubuntu), what won't work?
01:01.50gnarfaceGnome
01:02.04gnarfacepulseaudio
01:02.08gnarfacenetwork-manager
01:02.21frodo654321pulseaudio don't work already :)
01:02.28gnarfacetrue.  also there are network-manager alternatives
01:02.41parazydgnarface: networkmanager works
01:02.42frodo654321Cannot ever -ever - ever get it to save settings !!!
01:02.51gnarfaceparazyd: it got fixed now?
01:02.59gnarfaceisn't up-to-date on that as he wasn't using it
01:03.09parazydCenturion_Dan: updated it systemd-free
01:03.16gnarfaceah cool
01:03.20parazydnot sure in which repo it is though
01:03.24frodo654321Also boot hangs for 30 seconds because it can't find a NIC that hasn't been initialized yet.
01:03.37gnarfaceyou're having that problem too?  that's weird....
01:03.48gnarfacewait, are you using a n900 phone?  someone was having that issue on a n900
01:04.00parazydlol no, there's no lubuntu on the n900
01:04.45frodo654321Will apt-get work same as usual?
01:04.54gnarfaceyea, none of that stuff changed
01:05.21frodo654321Third party apps like mpv? (pardon my ignorance)
01:05.30gnarfaceyea, all should be the same... though i think there WAS a bug in the debian debootstrap with regards to the devuan repos, i'm not sure it hasn't been fixed.
01:05.57parazydfrodo654321: yep, all works
01:06.05gnarface(the devuan debootstrap installs fine in debian though, if you need it to work)
01:06.14frodo654321I thought the systemd war was over, why so many people choose to leave?
01:06.22parazydthe normal one also works, just drops the wrong repo when it's done
01:06.37gnarfaceoh, good to know
01:06.47gnarfacefrodo654321: who told you the war was over?  sounds like propaganda to me
01:06.52fsmithredI just did a debootstrap install a few days ago. It worked.
01:09.05frodo654321What desktop does Devian come with as default?
01:09.18MinceRxfce, afaik
01:09.18fsmithredxfce
01:09.27fsmithredthere are live isos you could try
01:10.04frodo654321So you could install LXDE or LXQT no problem, I like a small simple fast desktoop ..
01:11.27frodo654321I could install the minimal-live version and then install LXDE or LXQT?
01:11.40gnarfacesure why not?
01:11.45gnarfaceif you have enough spare ram
01:12.18gnarfaceabout that 30s pause on startup.... are you booting without an initrd.img?  that was the other thing about that guy who had the same issue, he wasn't using an initrd.img
01:12.40gnarfacei don't remember hearing whether compiling the driver in statically fixed the issue or not though
01:13.06gnarfaceit's not happening to me on any of my machines here though, but i'm using stock kernels and initrd.img setups for the most part
01:13.23gnarfacefrodo654321: ^^
01:14.37*** join/#devuan minnesotags (~Herb@c-50-137-242-97.hsd1.mn.comcast.net)
01:15.25frodo654321According to the log, it was saying unknown NIC .. force detect or something. I just disabled activiting the NIC from some systemd config file.
01:15.57gnarfaceoh, so the 30s pause was happening with systemd on lubuntu for you too?
01:16.03gnarfacehmmm
01:16.04frodo654321yep ..
01:16.09gnarfacei wonder if it's firmware related
01:16.22gnarfaceyou don't know what the actual device is, do you?
01:16.35frodo654321Yea, it's a generic non-standard motherboard ..
01:17.15frodo654321What do I type to get the NIC device name?
01:17.22gnarfacelspci
01:17.44gnarface(unless it's usb)
01:18.30gnarface<PROTECTED>
01:18.37frodo654321No it's on the board .. wait ...
01:19.49frodo654321lspci | grep ETHERNET .. 00:07.0 Bridge: NVIDIA Corporation MCP61 Ethernet (rev a2)
01:20.27gnarfacemost likely forcedeth
01:20.41DocScrutinizer05N900 has no ethernet BIC, unless you like to count in wl1251 WLAN
01:20.41frodo654321Yea that's it .. forcedeth ..
01:20.47DocScrutinizer05NIC even
01:21.21gnarfaceforcedeth i think does not require non-free firmware anymore.  needing some module options wouldn't surprise me though
01:21.49frodo654321I have noticed a lot of 'waiting on' on browsing even though I has supposidly lots of bandwidth. do you think it's to do with a vrap NIC?
01:22.09gnarfacealso complete utter failure to be reliably useful might depend on having the latest motherboard firmware (i've owned some nforce boards in my day)
01:22.47DocScrutinizer05anyway that 30s delay seems to be related to udev *rules*
01:23.20frodo654321I hesitate to upgrade the firmware in case I brick it ..
01:23.57DocScrutinizer05I'd guess one triggers a flase positive on some other hardware and tries to load a driver that takes 30s to find out it's loaded mistakenly
01:24.38frodo654321Again I am confused .. does udev handles the NIC .. does systemd handle it .. does systemd override udev .. that's what I object to systemd, it's confused :)
01:25.17DocScrutinizer05no systemd in devuan. udev *called* systemd-udev
01:25.52frodo654321Unless it prevents me using the machine, I generally don't go and fix something.
01:26.15frodo654321I see lots of msgs from dmesg ..
01:26.20gnarfacefrodo654321: udev has been rolled into systemd, but existed before it, and handles assigning names to hardware in /dev
01:27.01gnarfacefrodo654321: there are some... discrepancies in udev behavior, some of them are bugs, some of them are related to different batches of udev rules files (plain text files you can edit yourself)
01:27.20frodo654321According to the lead developer he can't get it to work :)
01:27.45frodo654321'we don't know any of this low level stuff' .. or words to that effect :)
01:28.24gnarfacewell it's clearly a big mess
01:28.30gnarfaceit doesn't evidence careful qa
01:28.35frodo654321If you deciden to assimilate udev then get it to owrk !!!
01:28.47gnarfacehmmm... i wonder what happened with vdev
01:29.02gnarfaceinfobot: vdev?
01:29.05gnarface!vdev
01:29.09gnarfacehmm, nope
01:29.22frodo654321So eventually Debian is going to be an app that runs on top of systemd :)
01:30.02gnarfaceyea, it seems like they are trying to recouple the whole stack
01:30.11gnarfacenot just debian
01:30.13gnarfaceevery distro
01:30.16gnarfacethat's the plan
01:30.18gnarfacethen redhat rules the world
01:30.21gnarfaceor whatever
01:30.43frodo654321What happened to do one thing and do it well/
01:31.09frodo654321And then glue them together to make a stack?
01:31.21gnarfaceit's not about enabling users
01:31.39gnarfaceit's about enabling the systemd developers themselves
01:31.43gnarfaceat the expensve of users and developers
01:32.17gnarfaceit's not about doing anything well other than stopping other people from doing what they were doing
01:33.21gnarfacea redirection of the entire development environment to de-emphasize developer user and increase emphasis on consumer-mindedness
01:33.25MinceRno, debian is going to be a spin of fedora with a different logo and wallpaper
01:33.38MinceRjust wait until the cabal "standardizes" the package manager

01:37.13DocScrutinizer05can't take long
01:37.20DocScrutinizer05!systemd
01:37.21infobotsystemd cabal: a bunch of people (Lennart Poettering, Kay Sievers, H. Hoyer, D. Mack, T. Gundersen, D. Herrmann) who want to turn linux into their wet dream perverted version of windows-me-too: http://0pointer.net/blog/revisiting-how-we-put-together-linux-systems.html -- Rumor has it that 2016 systemd will have replaced kernel. See ~nosystemd"
01:38.28gnarfacegood
01:41.27DocScrutinizer05(30s delay) either a driver from a rule, or that particular udev actually already is systemd-infested and tries to connect to d-bus
01:42.56frodo654321gnarface .. re: udev rules files. I had a problem mounting a canon canera and had to do just that, edit a udev rule file. Now with systemd, the rule is somewher else I guess.
01:43.54*** join/#devuan Drugo (~Drugo@62.11.1.95)
01:43.57DocScrutinizer05hmmm https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=717480  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=754987
01:44.05gnarfacefrodo654321: it is my assumption that they're just updating the rules faster
01:44.18gnarfacefrodo654321: possibly through a internal mechanism that is systemd specific
01:44.20frodo654321ot: When I took a look at the systemd windows type INI files, I said to myself, this doesn't look much.
01:45.41frodo654321gnarface: The confusion is, and I am definitly confused, what controls the udev rules?
01:46.00gnarfaceyou mean what uses them?
01:46.15gnarfacesystemd is a running daemon
01:47.21DocScrutinizer05iirc systemd-udevd has a lot of rules in /usr/*/*... now
01:47.38DocScrutinizer05just like systemd-init does
01:47.42frodo654321Which have a different systax that systemd INI files. The order of the lines effect the execution of the items. Except when there are a BEFORE/AFTER directive. sorry to say, it looks like a school project :)
01:48.49frodo654321That's what it looked like to me ..
01:50.12frodo654321Who in his right min thinks windows INI files are a good idea? Square bracket, close bracket] lines of text .. :)
01:51.27gnarfaceyou know, i like xml
01:51.33gnarfacebut everyone will dogpile on that too
01:51.37gnarfacethe issue here isn't the syntax
01:52.02gnarfacethe issue is the quality control
01:52.13gnarfaceit's all just wrong
01:52.32frodo654321gnarface: "systemd is a running daemon" once a boot process has done its job you shouldn't be able to change it, or allow it to change anything. What is the init process even doing running *after* the boot process is over. You see my confusion?
01:52.55gnarfaceit doesn't seem very secure to me either
01:53.30frodo654321Generally, complicated leads to confusion which leads to bugs!
01:53.53frodo654321Which leads to insecurity ...
01:55.05frodo654321See also this: "systemd-resolved will fall back to Google public DNS (8.8.8.8, etc.) in the absence of other configured DNS servers."
01:55.37gnarfacelol yea amateur hour shit
01:55.45frodo654321So if I hack the local DNS server and set 8.8.8.8 to my box, I can take over systemd on anyone elses box ?
01:56.46frodo654321Just who in his right mind hardwires an IP into a vital boot process? Presumably this isn't changable or cannot be disabled?
01:58.07golinuxsystemd discussion should rally be on #debianfork . . .
01:58.14frodo654321ok ..
01:58.36golinuxgnarface should know that.  ;)
01:58.42gnarfacesorry
01:59.00golinuxI thought sure you'd be talked out by now!
01:59.00frodo654321What's the long term support going to be like?
01:59.21frodo654321On devuan
01:59.22golinuxLike long term support
01:59.51frodo654321How often will it be updated/upgraded
01:59.52golinuxbiab - dinner
02:00.09golinuxProbably only security fixes.
02:00.27golinuxbackports may get some newer pkgs
02:01.27frodo654321I only upgrade when they stop providing updates for the current version.
02:02.11frodo654321What is in a distro? .. the kernel, a file system .. a desktop .. etc?
02:02.26frodo654321how did you go about making devuan?
02:02.55fsmithredpackages were recompiled without dependency on systemd
02:03.04frodo654321Ah ..
02:03.11fsmithredthat amounts to about 1% of the packages in debian repos
02:03.23fsmithredthe rest is unchanged debian
02:03.27frodo654321Which ones stopped working?
02:03.39fsmithredthere's a list at devuan.org
02:03.49frodo654321I'll go and see ..
02:03.55fsmithredthe list for ascii will be longer

12:43.57DocScrutinizer05obviously not
12:44.06parazydhow so?
12:44.36DocScrutinizer05since dash saves file handles for std* to $10+ while bash closes them
12:44.50DocScrutinizer05err &10+
12:45.38parazydwhat if you invoke bash as sh?
12:45.43DocScrutinizer05thus a `exec >/dev/null 2>/dev/null` fixes stuff for dash, since that closes STDOUT/ERR for good

12:46.50DocScrutinizer05umm
12:47.22DocScrutinizer05please note that none of the comments in this ticket been by me
12:49.32DocScrutinizer05anyway the root cause is some logging keeps filehandle open for 30s when using dash for scripting, since dash saves file handles even when redirected. Bash doesn't
12:50.11DocScrutinizer05the switch from log=ERR to log=INFO awakened the sleeping bug it seems
12:52.18DocScrutinizer05the "fis" is to close filehandles for good, by `exec >/dev/null 2>/dev/null`
12:52.23DocScrutinizer05"fix"*
12:52.47parazydas said it won't matter, since eudev will be implemented instead of the old udev
12:53.10parazydand gives for better (newer) hardware support
12:53.13DocScrutinizer05sure, as soon as devuan gets rif of udev, it won't matter anymore
12:53.36DocScrutinizer05still it's an "interesting" bug
12:53.47parazydtrue
12:54.13DocScrutinizer05I just hope it got fixed in eudev
12:54.47DocScrutinizer05AIUI it's an old sleeping bug
12:55.31parazydseems not everyone is experiencing it though
12:55.50DocScrutinizer05yeah, it needs "log=INFO" or somesuch

14:09.14fsmithredthese are not the same problem, are they?
14:09.42DocScrutinizer05Enrico_Menotti reported hang in udev, exactly like described in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=754987#119
14:10.27DocScrutinizer05yours sounds like suspend/resume
14:10.55DocScrutinizer05also "boot code" which != udev aiui
14:11.17DocScrutinizer05so no, not the same problem
14:12.30Enrico_MenottiDocScrutinizer05 In my case the hang was due to net.agent waiting for the loopback lo device to be mounted, which did not happen due to the lack of an initrd. After 30 seconds net.agent times out and the boot goes on.
14:13.09DocScrutinizer05Enrico_Menotti: which is *exactly* what https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=754987 is all about
14:13.27fsmithredwhat I got is from Apr 27 changelog of initramfs-tools
14:13.51fsmithredmaybe 30-second boot delays are in fashion?
14:14.03DocScrutinizer0530s sure is fashionable

14:18.23Enrico_MenottiDocScrutinizer05 I read that bug report. It's not exactly what happened to me. In that bug, if one turns udev_log to "err" the delay vanishes. In my case, it did not.

14:43.58DocScrutinizer05for whatever reason yours differed to the reported behavior in ticket
14:44.23fsmithredmchasard, if you want something functional that's lightweight, mpv is good. I have no idea about what works on rpi.
14:45.28Enrico_MenottiDocScrutinizer05 A few days ago I reported four ways to get a log from udev: through its config file (which right now I don't remember what exactly is), through a kernel parameter, through an environment variable, or through udevadm.
14:45.38mchasardfor me i try to use it but its jerky
14:46.09mchasardmay be a wap partition is requiered
14:46.15DocScrutinizer05Enrico_Menotti: and none of them is really relevant for https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=754987
14:46.58Enrico_MenottiIn the first case, which is the one that worked for me, I had the line udev_log="err". I tried to change it to "info" or "debug", with no result (no log and the delay was still there).
14:47.05fsmithredyou trying to watch HD video?
14:47.26DocScrutinizer05kernel cmdline? I don't think this works OOTB
14:47.44DocScrutinizer05whatever, this is OT here
14:47.48Enrico_MenottiNo, config file.
14:48.13Enrico_MenottiIn order to get a log, I had to downgrade udev to the Wheezy version.
14:48.30mchasard.mkv
14:48.36Enrico_MenottiIn this way, by setting udev_log="debug", I found out the delay to be pertinent to net.agent.
14:48.47mchasardi tried also avi but its same
14:48.53fsmithredI have trouble with some .mkv files
14:49.09Enrico_MenottiAnd with a bit of googling, found out net.agent to wait for the loopback. (Checked also in the code.)
14:49.12fsmithredmaybe google for solution. Probably others have same problem.

18:20.22bjbIt went well.  I noted the packages with changed config files and one was shorewall, so spent some time reading up on the implications
18:20.57bjbIt's always hard to do that without any network though : -)
18:21.11Xenguyback
18:22.03Xenguybjb: Interesting, I'm running shorewall on the box/gateway/router that I need to upgrade from Wheezy
18:22.47XenguyIn the past I've found shorewall to be demanding, when upgrades happen (e.g. config changes often need to be made)
18:24.46bjbI probably should have tried to note my current version before the upgrade, the proposed version after the upgrade, and done the research before the upgrade
18:25.07bjbI agree re shorewall upgrades, but I don't do it often so it does end up entailing changes
18:25.14XenguyThat's the joy of going first :-)
18:25.48XenguyI'll find out what version my Wheezy box is running
18:26.15bjbIt wasn't too bad ... I went from version 4.5.5.something to 4.6.4.something
18:26.33Xenguy$ shorewall version
18:26.34Xenguy4.5.5.3
18:26.59bjbbut, there were a few things.  I ended up just using the old config file.  But eventually I will replace it with a "newly" generated one.  I don't like staying with the old files because it makes further upgrades harder.
18:27.39XenguyTrue, and loose ends usually come home to roost, eventually
18:28.22Xenguyputs the shorewall upgrade research on his to-do list...
18:28.50bjbSo maybe your first step should be to set your shorewall config files to be your config using the 4.5.5.3 suggested base config files.
18:29.01bjbThen you will have minimal changes when you do your upgrade.
18:29.07XenguyOr as a good friend of mine likes to say:  "Completeness matters"
18:30.07bjbWell now to fix up the other package configs
18:30.32bjbI must say the debian wheezy->devuan upgrade was flawless and painless : -)  very happy with that
18:30.38Xenguybjb:  So basically, no gotchas along the way, or is it still too early to say?
18:30.50XenguyAh, there ya go
18:30.51bjbThis is a small system though - no desktop, server only. very few packages
18:31.39XenguyHow did you backup your system before the upgrade?
18:32.25bjbrsync the whole filesystem to another machine ... except for /proc and /sys and maybe one or two other directories.
18:32.42bjbThere is no database or anything on here
18:32.59bjbAnd make sure there is a bootable CD handy : -)
18:34.07XenguyI need to get better at creating rescue USBkeys, cos there's no CD reader on this system
18:34.48XenguySo far I've used dd to create an install USBkey
18:35.32bjbI suppose I should learn that skill (making functioning bootable USBkeys)
18:37.02XenguyYeah, I'll need to buy a few more so I can have a rescue key at the ready
18:37.05fsmithredtry refracta2usb - you can make multiboot usb, first partition is a real fat32, so you can use it like a regular thumb drive to transfer files, and you can have multiple persistent volumes
18:37.10XenguyAnd a few other things
18:38.08Xenguyfsmithred: Sounds interesting, I have not yet delved into the refracta world
18:38.35fsmithredhttps://sourceforge.net/projects/refracta/files/tools/
18:38.43Xenguytx
18:39.41fsmithredyou may need to zero the first 2 or 4 MB of the usb stick first, if it was imaged with isohybrid

18:51.23Xenguyheh, Bruce Perens weighed in on /. with a short comment:  "I installed Devuan on a laptop and will probably expand it to my other systems over time. I installed 1.0 and the absence of NetworkManager was a problem, so it's nice to see that this new version includes it."

19:31.04__stephenIt's the one copied from the chromeos.
19:31.12gnarfacehmmm
19:31.25__stephenIt's an acer cb5-311 -- the 13 inch tegra based thing...
19:31.39gnarfacewell it's possible to compile without HDMI support, but it's probably worth noting that for nvidia hardware, the open source drivers probably can't do it
19:32.07__stephenThe kernel supports it, it worked under both chrome and ubuntu.
19:32.09gnarfacei can't say whether that also applies to tegra or not
19:32.28__stephenBut now thta I've swapped ubuntu for devuan it doesn't seem to work.

19:32.36__stephenYup.

19:32.58__stephenI don't know that it uses one...
19:33.10gnarfacehow about non-free firmware?  (might not have been packaged with the kernel)
19:33.25__stephenThere's a thought, but I copied the firmware over too.
19:34.19__stephenPerhaps it didn't load something... but it seems like I'd have other issues, too.

19:37.15gnarfacealso probably if firmware is missing, you'll see complaints during boot output into dmesg
19:37.20__stephenThat shows modules, but what about firmware?
19:37.33gnarfaceoh hmm.  other than looking for complaints in dmesg, i'm not sure
19:37.52gnarfacei've only ever had to expect missing firmware to be complained about visibly in there
19:38.01__stephenIs there a convenient package in devuan for posting to a pastebin type site?
19:38.18gnarfacepastebinit exists
19:38.38gnarfacei think it can be reconfigured to point to paste.debian.net
19:39.01__stephenBad API request, invalid api_dev_key

20:01.29__stephendetatching to poke some stuff, bbiab
20:02.07greenjeansseems like what it's trying to use is the nouveau driver, it does 3D. looks like there's support for some tegra stuff that was rolled in to the kernel in 3.14, but not necessarily for the newer tegra chips
20:04.58gnarfacei have run into some issues with regards to steam controller support that turned out to be (still unfixed) broken behavior between different udev versions that is somehow *ironed out* by running systemd, like systemd has an internal update mechanism for some stuff.  it was not udev rules alone though, it was some /dev/.udev database or something like that which got completely reformatted silently
20:05.26gnarfacehopefully *that* isn't the issue here though
20:05.42gnarfacebecause as far as i can tell, nobody at Valve *or* on the udev team is willing to admit they broke it on purpose
20:06.55gnarfacebut chances are they're doing it to kill compatibility with 3rd party distros
20:07.05greenjeanshttps://github.com/grate-driver
20:18.15__stephenI loved the steam controller... until they changed the firmware and it wasn't just a regular input device but needed to interact with steam to work.
20:18.45gnarfacethere exists a community driver now so you don't need steam
20:18.50gnarfacebut i agree that was annoying
20:19.02gnarfaceit seems to be all wrapped up in udev/systemd vendor lock-in
20:19.20gnarfaceand not just breaking steam controllers either - this seems to be related: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/1894
20:19.21__stephenOf course, if any of the freely available input drivers would let me do chording with the ps4 buttons it would all be a non issue.
20:19.55gnarfaceyea i'm just angry that steam has better support for my decades-old nintendo wii classic controller than it does for their own hardware.
20:20.21gnarfacei'd rate their effort level here at somewhere between pathetic and criminally negligible

23:20.12aitori'm adding more features to simple-netaid
23:20.28fsmithredit's working out?
23:20.37fsmithredrrq, I'm rebooting the laptop
23:20.58aitora menubar, a toolbar and a right click popup menu showing more info about the active wifi, etc...
23:21.28rrqfsmithread: looks like ascii only offers initramfs-tools 0.130
23:21.35fsmithredsounds good
23:21.42rrqwell :-)
23:21.52fsmithredoh
23:21.59fsmithredum, it's not ascii
23:22.15fsmithredit's jessie with backports kernel and live-* from ascii
23:22.43rrqright; initramfs-tools 1.20+deb8u2 perhaps?
23:22.49aitorfsmithred: chroot: failed to run command '/bin/bash': Exec format error
23:23.01aitorthis has already happened to me
23:23.20aitorin some cases
23:24.05fsmithred0.120+deb8u2
23:24.12fsmithredsorry
23:24.24fsmithredaitor, you know what causes that?
23:25.00aitori can't remember now :(
23:25.40fsmithredmaybe noexec in the mount
23:25.57fsmithredbrb
23:26.10aitor:)
23:30.04fsmithredback
23:30.35aitorhi
23:30.47fsmithredI've done very little with ascii. Upgraded a refracta ascii today that I last upgraded in january
23:32.10fsmithredrrq, is the boot hanging for 30 seconds?
23:32.37rrqno it breaks at pivot... not mount ing root
23:33.00fsmithredhm
23:33.32fsmithredthere's some dead code in refractasnapshot around there from a couple years ago
23:33.33aitori upgraded today my devuan ascii
23:33.40fsmithreddon't know if it would help
23:34.39rrqI have ascii running with udev, but installing vdev 0.1.2 breaks it
23:34.49fsmithredcommented lines are the ones we added
23:34.52fsmithredmount -n -o move /sys ${rootmnt}/sys
23:34.52fsmithred#nuke /sys
23:34.52fsmithred#ln -s ${rootmnt}/sys /sys
23:34.52fsmithredmount -n -o move /proc ${rootmnt}/proc
23:34.52fsmithred#nuke /proc
23:34.54fsmithred#ln -s ${rootmnt}/proc /proc
23:35.11*** join/#devuan cyteen (~cyteen@cyteen42.plus.com)
23:35.31fsmithredthat was for some bug in util-linux that got fixed about two years later
23:36.52aitori have a doubt: does refractasnapshot depend on dbus?
23:37.01aitorthe accesibility parts, maybe?
23:37.08rrqmine stops earlier: at mountroot
23:37.20fsmithredwhat is vdev-0.1.2?
23:37.48fsmithredI have vdevd-2.0.2 and vdev-initramfs-1.2.7
23:38.14rrqmmm no difference: new packaging just
23:38.25rrq(single package)
23:38.33fsmithredok, I see it in experimental
23:38.49fsmithredmaybe I'll try adding that to my ascii install
23:38.57fsmithred(after I make a snapshot)
23:39.09fsmithredkitchen again. back in a few minutes.
23:39.43rrqit's slightly broken by installing at /lib/amd64-linux-gnu/libudev1.so.1.5.2 which neds to be moved to x86_64-linux-gnu ... but that's a different problem
23:40.24aitorfsmithred is always cooking
23:43.43fsmithredI like to eat
