00:18.12 | stevelitt | golinux, Purpy-izing ctwm turns out to be a much bigger deal than just adding a graphic. |
00:18.41 | stevelitt | In ctwm, every workspace has a different background color, which is a HECK of a good idea. |

00:20.30 | stevelitt | It would be difficult to change those colors in a way that's all purpy, but different enough purpy to deduce which workspace you're on. |
00:22.06 | stevelitt | I'm not yet knowledgeable enough about ctwm to know whether it can use images and/or gradients for the background. |

18:24.43 | xkr47 | hi |
18:25.03 | xkr47 | I'm installing devuan 1.0 release and ran into a problem at the bootloader installation step |
18:25.18 | xkr47 | "Executing 'grub-install dummy' failed" |
18:25.22 | xkr47 | "This is a fatal error." |
18:27.57 | xkr47 | going to console ctrl-alt-f2 and looking in /var/log/syslog says pretty much the same, "grub-installer: info: Installing grub on 'dummy'" |
18:28.28 | gnarface | xkr47: does lilo work? |
18:28.45 | xkr47 | dunno, would like to keep using grub |

18:28.56 | fsmithred | you might be able to install it in chroot |
18:29.00 | xkr47 | grub (efi) has been working fine with ubuntu 15.04 |
18:29.06 | gnarface | xkr47: still, sometimes the difference in behavior can tell you a lot |
18:29.09 | fsmithred | oh |
18:29.30 | fsmithred | are you going to keep ubuntu on there? |
18:29.59 | *** join/#devuan derseegrog[m] (derseegrog@gateway/shell/matrix.org/x-gsrynesfbqawdmpc) |
18:30.19 | xkr47 | gnarface, hmm well.. I have a bit peculiar EFI that requires the "hybrid MBR partition table" to be set up in a special way for it to boot in EFI mode |
18:30.38 | xkr47 | well as a fallback |
18:30.48 | xkr47 | just added a new partition for devuan and installed there |
18:31.01 | luc_awoo | xkr47: did it asked you on what hdd to install it? the last time i got that error was because the installer timed out |
18:31.06 | fsmithred | you could skipt the bootloader for now and boot into ubuntu and run 'update-grub' |
18:31.10 | *** join/#devuan bluemarlin (~bluemarli@unaffiliated/bluemarlin) |
18:31.12 | xkr47 | I will try running "grub-install sda" in chroot from the console now and see what that does |
18:31.16 | fsmithred | then you can boot into devuan and run 'grub-install' |
18:31.29 | fsmithred | for efi, you don't need to use a device name |
18:31.54 | xkr47 | luc_awoo, no it did not ask, but it did ask whether I wanted to install some fallback grub thingy (unfamiliar concept to me) and I said no |
18:32.20 | xkr47 | fsmithred, oh |
18:32.35 | fsmithred | for uefi grub does not ask which drive to use. It puts a bootloader on the efi partition |
18:32.43 | xkr47 | ok I will try to boot to it using the old grub that was installed by ubuntu ? |
18:32.53 | fsmithred | you could |
18:32.59 | fsmithred | or as I said, try it now in chroot |
18:33.15 | xkr47 | ok let's see.. so I will now resume installation using "COntinue without boot loader" then I guess |
18:33.16 | fsmithred | I'm not sure where the installer mounts the new installation |
18:33.23 | xkr47 | ok trying chroot |
18:33.29 | fsmithred | in /target or maybe /installer/target |
18:33.38 | xkr47 | sure it does, otherwise it couldn't install it :) |
18:33.44 | xkr47 | but yeah it is still mounted at this point |
18:33.50 | fsmithred | yeah, I just don't know the mountpoint |
18:33.55 | fsmithred | df will tell you |
18:34.02 | xkr47 | /target it seems |
18:34.05 | fsmithred | cool |
18:34.24 | fsmithred | run 'update-grub' after, so you get a boot menu |
18:34.31 | fsmithred | still in chroot |
18:34.35 | xkr47 | I have the "64bit efi dvd installer" image |
18:34.47 | fsmithred | oh, the live iso? |
18:35.04 | xkr47 | no |
18:35.19 | xkr47 | one sec |
18:35.20 | fsmithred | ok. didn't know there was a separate installer iso for uefi |
18:35.52 | xkr47 | installer-iso/devuan_jessie_1.0.0_amd64_DVD.iso |
18:35.57 | fsmithred | ok |
18:36.04 | xkr47 | hmm mybe it isn't uefi :) |
18:36.10 | fsmithred | should do both |
18:36.18 | fsmithred | actually, I know it does both |
18:36.33 | xkr47 | grub-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/modinfo.sh doesn't exist |
18:36.47 | xkr47 | so grub-install doesn't detect this to be a 64-bit uefi setup |
18:36.51 | fsmithred | I've done a few uefi installs with that iso. Usually works perfectly. |
18:36.55 | xkr47 | maybe I reboot and try then |
18:36.59 | fsmithred | wait |
18:37.10 | xkr47 | yeah I'm taking it slow |
18:37.21 | fsmithred | ls /sys/firmware/efi |
18:37.23 | xkr47 | will do whatever forensics you request :) |
18:37.40 | xkr47 | /sys is empty in chroot |
18:37.45 | fsmithred | oh |
18:37.56 | xkr47 | only /target/dev and /target/media/cdrom linked |
18:38.01 | fsmithred | did you run grub-install and update-grub yet? |
18:38.13 | xkr47 | just grub-install |
18:38.20 | xkr47 | which failedd |
18:38.28 | xkr47 | I will mount --bind /sys /target/sys and see |
18:38.38 | fsmithred | should already be there |
18:38.41 | fsmithred | mount |
18:38.44 | fsmithred | will tell you |
18:39.00 | xkr47 | and /proc for fun |
18:39.06 | xkr47 | yeah wasn't there |
18:39.09 | fsmithred | eww |
18:39.14 | xkr47 | ok, chrooted back and new error |
18:39.18 | fsmithred | ok, should work better |
18:39.20 | fsmithred | ? |

18:39.27 | fsmithred | yes |
18:39.32 | xkr47 | grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory |
18:39.36 | fsmithred | oh |
18:39.50 | fsmithred | mount /dev/sda1 /boot/efi (in chroot) |
18:39.52 | xkr47 | should the EFI partition be mounted somewhere |
18:39.59 | fsmithred | assuming sda1 is the efi partition |
18:40.19 | xkr47 | sda2 for me :P |
18:40.24 | fsmithred | if not in chroot, you can mount it to /target/boot/efi |

18:41.11 | fsmithred | ??? |
18:41.14 | fsmithred | should be fat32 |
18:41.22 | xkr47 | not vfat? |
18:41.26 | fsmithred | same thing |
18:41.37 | xkr47 | mount refuses |
18:41.50 | fsmithred | get out of chroot (or another console) |
18:42.11 | fsmithred | and check: ls /sys/firmware/efi |
18:42.14 | xkr47 | ehh |
18:42.18 | xkr47 | this is not a fat filesystem |
18:42.21 | fsmithred | if it doesn't exist, you didn't boot in uefi mode |
18:42.43 | fsmithred | how many drives you got? |
18:42.44 | xkr47 | exists |
18:42.49 | fsmithred | ok, good |
18:43.17 | xkr47 | I have a SSD (sda), a HDD (sdb) and usb stick (sdc) (where I have the installer) |
18:43.29 | xkr47 | installing to sda3 |
18:43.31 | fsmithred | fdisk -l |
18:43.49 | fsmithred | make sure you know which drive is which, in case they decided to change their order |
18:44.06 | xkr47 | fdisk detects it as dos disklabel because of my peculiar hybrid MBR |
18:44.13 | xkr47 | it == sda |
18:44.29 | fsmithred | and there should be marked EFI System |
18:45.24 | xkr47 | this efi boot partition looks full of crap to me, except the first 512 bytes |
18:45.48 | xkr47 | I will now revert to booting and seeing what happens because I don't want to mess up the EFI part in case some detection is wrong |
18:46.01 | fsmithred | efibootmgr |
18:46.12 | xkr47 | ok run that |
18:46.18 | fsmithred | shows your bootloaders |
18:46.33 | fsmithred | is ubuntu shown as first in boot order? |
18:46.37 | xkr47 | yeah BootCurrent refers to USB HDD |
18:46.58 | fsmithred | BootOrder: ? |
18:46.58 | xkr47 | are the ones with stars "active" ? |
18:47.05 | fsmithred | maybe |
18:47.12 | fsmithred | I never inactivated one |

18:48.15 | xkr47 | the first one in BootOrder marked with a star seems to be the right one "ATA HDD0" |
18:48.31 | fsmithred | do you have one called ubuntu? |
18:48.36 | xkr47 | Boot0000 .. Boot0019 are my entries, where the number is hexadecimal |
18:48.43 | xkr47 | so it means 26 actually |
18:48.57 | xkr47 | no.. the bios labels them by the hardware nae |
18:49.25 | xkr47 | at least the names look familiar from the "boot order" menu in bios |
18:49.39 | fsmithred | the command to delete them (you can do it later) would be: |
18:49.40 | xkr47 | maybe my ubuntu 15.10 never changed the default name |
18:49.54 | fsmithred | efibootmgr -b XXXX -B XXXX |
18:50.02 | xkr47 | lol "Boot0019 OEM Hot Key" |
18:50.02 | fsmithred | where XXXX is the number |
18:50.21 | fsmithred | where does that take you? |
18:50.25 | xkr47 | ok I'll refrain from modifying EFI until I can see if this poor thing still boots at all :D |
18:50.32 | fsmithred | good plan |
18:50.48 | xkr47 | soo .. "Continue without boot loader" from installer? |
18:50.58 | fsmithred | yes, then boot ubuntu |
18:51.16 | xkr47 | ... not devuan? |
18:51.24 | fsmithred | how you gonna boot devuan? |
18:51.33 | xkr47 | editing grub command line? |
18:51.46 | xkr47 | or well "boot script" I guess |
18:51.49 | fsmithred | oh, ok. Yeah, that's what I'd do, |
18:51.55 | fsmithred | command line |
18:52.03 | xkr47 | one more funny thing |
18:52.09 | fsmithred | or boot ubuntu and let ubuntu add it to the boot menu |
18:52.23 | xkr47 | it seems I had another partition with an alpha version of devuan on the same usb stick |
18:52.34 | xkr47 | the installer found it first and said "heyyy I found your installer" |
18:52.44 | fsmithred | is this a multi-boot usb? |
18:52.46 | xkr47 | so I went to console and unmounted + mounted correct one |
18:53.10 | xkr47 | hey I just made multiple fat32 partitions on it and installed the iso to the new one |
18:53.19 | xkr47 | and moved the "bootable" flag to the new partition |
18:53.40 | xkr47 | but the installer didn't look at that and instead scanned all partitions or something |
18:53.43 | fsmithred | installed the iso how? |
18:53.49 | xkr47 | unetbootin |
18:53.53 | fsmithred | ohhh |
18:54.01 | xkr47 | "THERE'S your problem" ? :D |
18:54.11 | fsmithred | maybe. I haven't used it in over 10 years. |
18:54.14 | xkr47 | ^^ |
18:54.21 | fsmithred | and when I did, it put grub on the wrong drive |
18:54.25 | xkr47 | it's very gtk2 and has never failed me |

19:02.43 | xkr47 | hmm so I just specify the root in major:minor instead.. was that the syntax |
19:03.06 | xkr47 | fsmithred, _grub_ loaded the kernel but the kernel doesn't find the filesystem referenced by the root=xxx parameter |

19:07.30 | xkr47 | this is the biggest mistake of the kernel panic |
19:07.44 | xkr47 | it should have some panic driver for keyboard so I could scroll |

19:08.05 | xkr47 | initrd? |
19:08.11 | fsmithred | yeah, maybe |
19:08.26 | xkr47 | if btrfs is a module then I will need a initrd |
19:08.30 | xkr47 | didn't specify one |

19:08.49 | xkr47 | BAAAD instructions.. :) |
19:08.50 | xkr47 | yes |

19:11.28 | xkr47 | this is my best recollection at least |

19:17.31 | gnarface | that's a fair thing to be concerned about, but in my experience it's also the leading cause of "why doesn't my hardware do what the driver docs say it does" |
19:17.47 | xkr47 | I mean these newer laptops are great, you can save all bioses in the efi partition and pick one to flash from the bios setup |

19:49.51 | fsmithred | um, if there's a /data you can delete it |
19:51.17 | xkr47 | wonder if I should try grub-install now |
19:52.14 | xkr47 | hmm |
19:52.36 | xkr47 | no "sleep" option in "When laptop lid is closed:" |
19:53.00 | xkr47 | is sleeping unsupported in devuan or do I need to tweak my kernel somehow or? |
19:54.53 | fsmithred | mine don't sleep unless I tell them to. Lid doesn't do it. There's a discussion about it at dev1galaxy.org with a couple of possible fixes. |
19:56.19 | xkr47 | in ubuntu 15.04 it does provide that option and does sleep nicely 98% of the time |
19:56.39 | fsmithred | oh, if you figure out what does it, let everyone know |
19:56.51 | xkr47 | hmmmm I know nothing of this domain yet |
19:57.20 | fsmithred | is it xubuntu? |
19:57.24 | xkr47 | I don't know what piece of software "notices" that the lid is closed |
19:57.32 | xkr47 | no, regular ubuntu |
19:57.50 | xkr47 | and I don't know how gnome-control-center knows what options to list in the dropdown |
19:57.51 | fsmithred | probably something specific to their desktop |
19:58.04 | fsmithred | gnome still gives options? |
19:58.25 | xkr47 | heh you nailed it |
19:58.32 | fsmithred | bb need coffee |
20:03.01 | xkr47 | how do you tell it to sleep? |
20:04.57 | xkr47 | firefox 52.x..... |
20:05.20 | xkr47 | one would think the latest firefox would be included in "security" updates |

20:08.30 | xkr47 | w |
20:08.44 | fsmithred | sleep/suspend is in the logout dialogue in xfce |
20:08.52 | xkr47 | ok will check |
20:08.56 | xkr47 | but woot I just found /etc/systemd in my devuan install! |
20:09.08 | fsmithred | firefox-esr is in repo |
20:09.14 | fsmithred | yeah, all that is for udev |
20:10.31 | xkr47 | firefox-esr is already installededed |
20:10.41 | fsmithred | 52.3? |
20:10.57 | xkr47 | y |
20:11.01 | fsmithred | ok |
20:11.07 | xkr47 | 52.3.0esr-1~deb8u2 |
20:11.12 | fsmithred | yeah |
20:11.18 | fsmithred | that's from jessie-security |
20:11.35 | fsmithred | 54 or 55 requires pulseaudio |
20:11.51 | xkr47 | but pulseaudio is running |
20:12.04 | fsmithred | not here it isn't, but I didn't take the full desktop |
20:12.39 | xkr47 | actually I want to throw pulseaudio out and start using jack with kxstudio |
20:13.03 | fsmithred | I wish ff had support for jack |
20:13.09 | xkr47 | is it possible to "unselect" the desktop bundles I selected during install like MATE, XFCE etc |
20:13.22 | fsmithred | you installed them all? |
20:13.27 | xkr47 | ALL |
20:13.28 | xkr47 | :D: |
20:13.30 | fsmithred | wow |
20:13.31 | xkr47 | I wanted to try them out |
20:13.46 | xkr47 | I've been using sawfish window manager for 17 years |
20:13.59 | fsmithred | try apt-get remove task-mate (and so on) |
20:14.02 | xkr47 | only occasionally being forced to use whatever default the gnome desktop has used along the years |
20:14.10 | fsmithred | if you're lucky, it will just remove the metapackage |
20:14.19 | xkr47 | sawfish was the default gnome window manager back in 2001 |
20:14.24 | xkr47 | lol |
20:14.27 | fsmithred | yeah, I remember |
20:14.42 | xkr47 | I have a rather elaborate set of lisp scripts now |
20:15.36 | xkr47 | and a bunch of scripts to install sawfish on any modern system |
20:15.58 | xkr47 | ubuntu 17.04 on my work laptop, pager stopped working |
20:16.18 | xkr47 | so now I'm adding fprintf statements to the C source code to see why it won't show :) |
20:18.07 | xkr47 | synaptic seemed to find "task-mate-desktop" which depends on tasksel, task-desktop, mate-desktop-environment and slim |
20:18.33 | xkr47 | are metapackages any different from normal packages? is it possible to identify them somehow? |

20:20.52 | fsmithred | metapackage just lists other packages to install |
20:20.59 | fsmithred | to autoinstall |
20:21.31 | xkr47 | but not all of the options in the installation program are listed here |
20:21.50 | xkr47 | mate desktop for example isn't |

20:27.02 | xkr47 | hmm xfce control center has a power management tool which lists "suspend" as an option when lid is closed |
20:27.06 | xkr47 | but it doesn't work |
20:28.12 | xkr47 | from the menu, it sleeps |
20:35.56 | fsmithred | yeah, same here |
20:36.04 | fsmithred | I'll be afk for a it |
20:36.05 | fsmithred | bit |
