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

00:20.30stevelittIt 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.
00:22.06stevelittI'm not yet knowledgeable enough about ctwm to know whether it can use images and/or gradients for the background.
00:23.27golinuxWhen you figure it out, ping me

18:24.43xkr47hi
18:25.03xkr47I'm installing devuan 1.0 release and ran into a problem at the bootloader installation step
18:25.18xkr47"Executing 'grub-install dummy' failed"
18:25.22xkr47"This is a fatal error."
18:27.57xkr47going to console ctrl-alt-f2 and looking in /var/log/syslog says pretty much the same, "grub-installer: info: Installing grub on 'dummy'"
18:28.28gnarfacexkr47: does lilo work?
18:28.45xkr47dunno, would like to keep using grub
18:28.54*** join/#devuan AntoFox1 (~Thunderbi@dynamic-adsl-78-12-53-183.clienti.tiscali.it)
18:28.56fsmithredyou might be able to install it in chroot
18:29.00xkr47grub (efi) has been working fine with ubuntu 15.04
18:29.06gnarfacexkr47: still, sometimes the difference in behavior can tell you a lot
18:29.09fsmithredoh
18:29.30fsmithredare you going to keep ubuntu on there?
18:29.59*** join/#devuan derseegrog[m] (derseegrog@gateway/shell/matrix.org/x-gsrynesfbqawdmpc)
18:30.19xkr47gnarface, 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
18:30.38xkr47well as a fallback
18:30.48xkr47just added a new partition for devuan and installed there
18:31.01luc_awooxkr47: did it asked you on what hdd to install it? the last time i got that error was because the installer timed out
18:31.06fsmithredyou could skipt the bootloader for now and boot into ubuntu and run 'update-grub'
18:31.10*** join/#devuan bluemarlin (~bluemarli@unaffiliated/bluemarlin)
18:31.12xkr47I will try running "grub-install sda" in chroot from the console now and see what that does
18:31.16fsmithredthen you can boot into devuan and run 'grub-install'
18:31.29fsmithredfor efi, you don't need to use a device name
18:31.54xkr47luc_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
18:32.20xkr47fsmithred, oh
18:32.35fsmithredfor uefi grub does not ask which drive to use. It puts a bootloader on the efi partition
18:32.43xkr47ok I will try to boot to it using the old grub that was installed by ubuntu ?
18:32.53fsmithredyou could
18:32.59fsmithredor as I said, try it now in chroot
18:33.15xkr47ok let's see.. so I will now resume installation using "COntinue without boot loader" then I guess
18:33.16fsmithredI'm not sure where the installer mounts the new installation
18:33.23xkr47ok trying chroot
18:33.29fsmithredin /target or maybe /installer/target
18:33.38xkr47sure it does, otherwise it couldn't install it :)
18:33.44xkr47but yeah it is still mounted at this point
18:33.50fsmithredyeah, I just don't know the mountpoint
18:33.55fsmithreddf will tell you
18:34.02xkr47/target it seems
18:34.05fsmithredcool
18:34.24fsmithredrun 'update-grub' after, so you get a boot menu
18:34.31fsmithredstill in chroot
18:34.35xkr47I have the "64bit efi dvd installer" image
18:34.47fsmithredoh, the live iso?
18:35.04xkr47no
18:35.19xkr47one sec
18:35.20fsmithredok. didn't know there was a separate installer iso for uefi
18:35.52xkr47installer-iso/devuan_jessie_1.0.0_amd64_DVD.iso
18:35.57fsmithredok
18:36.04xkr47hmm mybe it isn't uefi :)
18:36.10fsmithredshould do both
18:36.18fsmithredactually, I know it does both
18:36.33xkr47grub-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/modinfo.sh doesn't exist
18:36.47xkr47so grub-install doesn't detect this to be a 64-bit uefi setup
18:36.51fsmithredI've done a few uefi installs with that iso. Usually works perfectly.
18:36.55xkr47maybe I reboot and try then
18:36.59fsmithredwait
18:37.10xkr47yeah I'm taking it slow
18:37.21fsmithredls /sys/firmware/efi
18:37.23xkr47will do whatever forensics you request :)
18:37.40xkr47/sys is empty in chroot
18:37.45fsmithredoh

18:42.44xkr47exists

18:44.13xkr47it == sda

18:48.15xkr47the first one in BootOrder marked with a star seems to be the right one "ATA HDD0"
18:48.31fsmithreddo you have one called ubuntu?
18:48.36xkr47Boot0000 .. Boot0019 are my entries, where the number is hexadecimal
18:48.43xkr47so it means 26 actually
18:48.57xkr47no.. the bios labels them by the hardware nae
18:49.25xkr47at least the names look familiar from the "boot order" menu in bios
18:49.39fsmithredthe command to delete them (you can do it later) would be:

18:50.58fsmithredyes, then boot ubuntu
18:51.16xkr47... not devuan?
18:51.24fsmithredhow you gonna boot devuan?
18:51.33xkr47editing grub command line?
18:51.46xkr47or well "boot script" I guess
18:51.49fsmithredoh, ok. Yeah, that's what I'd do,
18:51.55fsmithredcommand line
18:52.03xkr47one more funny thing
18:52.09fsmithredor boot ubuntu and let ubuntu add it to the boot menu
18:52.23xkr47it seems I had another partition with an alpha version of devuan on the same usb stick
18:52.34xkr47the installer found it first and said "heyyy I found your installer"
18:52.44fsmithredis this a multi-boot usb?
18:52.46xkr47so I went to console and unmounted + mounted correct one
18:53.10xkr47hey I just made multiple fat32 partitions on it and installed the iso to the new one
18:53.19xkr47and moved the "bootable" flag to the new partition
18:53.40xkr47but the installer didn't look at that and instead scanned all partitions or something
18:53.43fsmithredinstalled the iso how?
18:53.49xkr47unetbootin
18:53.53fsmithredohhh
18:54.01xkr47"THERE'S your problem" ? :D

19:17.24xkr47I wonder if I could somehow make sure I can revert to the old one if needed
19:17.31gnarfacethat'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"
19:17.47xkr47I mean these newer laptops are great, you can save all bioses in the efi partition and pick one to flash from the bios setup
19:18.04xkr47yeah probably

20:14.27fsmithredyeah, I remember
20:14.42xkr47I have a rather elaborate set of lisp scripts now
20:15.36xkr47and a bunch of scripts to install sawfish on any modern system
20:15.58xkr47ubuntu 17.04 on my work laptop, pager stopped working
20:16.18xkr47so now I'm adding fprintf statements to the C source code to see why it won't show :)
20:18.07xkr47synaptic seemed to find "task-mate-desktop" which depends on tasksel, task-desktop, mate-desktop-environment and slim
20:18.33xkr47are metapackages any different from normal packages? is it possible to identify them somehow?
