01:47.33 | DocScrutinizer05 | then OTOH _all_ mice and basically all embedded switch crap I ever seen is built the wrong way: the key's only mechanical stop is the white button on the switch, which only allows max 10 times the operation force or the switch will go defect. If those fools had a real mechanical stop and a spring or hoam or rubber to push the switch button, this would reliably avoid any switch damage from excessive force to the key, but it would cost |
01:47.34 | DocScrutinizer05 | like 0.5ct more |
01:49.34 | DocScrutinizer05 | absolutely same applies to clickdisk switches |
01:50.52 | DocScrutinizer05 | the dome disk collapses permanently when you apply too much force to it, yet any keymat on embedded has no mechanical stop other than the post that presses down the clickdisk |

01:56.19 | DocScrutinizer05 | then for the Omron type microswitches , the manufs are also fools. why don't they allow the white button to go all the way into the switch body so key's post would stop on the switch's body rather than on the white button |

01:59.30 | DocScrutinizer05 | the Omron D2FC-F has 75g operation force and breaks with 750g which isn't too hard to exceed when pressing a mouse button in action |

08:14.06 | system16 | what is this ? |
08:14.59 | gnarface | my best guess is BASH job control |
08:15.16 | system16 | how can i run it again? |
08:15.29 | gnarface | resume |
08:15.47 | gnarface | hotkeys ctrl-s and ctrl-q, i think |
08:15.53 | gnarface | er, wait |
08:15.59 | gnarface | maybe ctrl-z and "fg" |
08:16.14 | gnarface | check the bash manpage, string search for JOB CONTROL |
08:16.15 | system16 | resume [1]+ ? |
08:16.22 | gnarface | looks right |
08:16.51 | system16 | no it didnt work |

08:18.46 | gnarface | hmm |
08:18.53 | gnarface | interesting |

08:19.09 | system16 | [ ? |
08:20.24 | system16 | what now? |
08:20.49 | gnarface | there's a minimal shell called dash that is a bash alternative, but it's missing a lot of features |
08:21.09 | gnarface | it's popular to use for startup scripts, but you should probably not use it for login |
08:21.28 | system16 | idk i only want that 1+ to startup again |
08:21.38 | gnarface | if "fg" didn't work i dunno what will |
08:21.45 | gnarface | check the manpage |

08:26.58 | gnarface | the default should be the last you backgrounded, i don't know why it didn't work. as far as i know the fact it didn't work is the only reason you should be worried about it, but the odds here are pointing to user error. since it was your "su" command, i assume from your login shell to root, it should disappear after you restart, until you log in and run "su" again. |

19:24.06 | math_man | And I can't find a backport anywhere |
19:24.15 | blap | is there something like sid/unstable for devuan? |
19:24.23 | math_man | Yes |
19:24.56 | math_man | It's called "ceres" |

19:25.40 | blap | ooops |
19:26.15 | blap | i read it is possible to convert a debian system to devuan, is this currently supported? |
19:26.44 | golinux | math_man: https://devuan.org/os/etc/apt/sources.list |
19:26.49 | math_man | That is beyond my knowledge. Better check Yahoo |
19:27.17 | golinux | blap: Only wheezy and jessie can be upgraded to devuan |
19:27.19 | math_man | Yea I can't find it in the backports |
19:27.41 | math_man | where can I see a full list of available packages in backports? |
19:28.35 | Walex | blap: if you *really* know what you are doing 'stretch' should also be upgradeable, but it is hairy because means replacing 'systemd'-infected packages with non-infected ones, and the infection is pervasive. |
19:29.26 | blap | thank you, i will start with devuan in a vm and make it install to a free partition |
19:29.54 | math_man | there's this: |
19:29.55 | math_man | https://devuan.org/os/packages/ |
19:30.03 | math_man | But almost everything is missing there |
19:30.32 | math_man | Does Devuan have a database like Debian where they list the package and which repo it's available in? |
19:30.53 | golinux | Packages are in this unofficaial site but probably doesn't include backports: http://devuanpackages.viralds.it/releases |
19:31.29 | math_man | there we go thanks |
19:33.28 | math_man | there we go, Ceres has libimobiledevice6 |
19:33.31 | math_man | http://devuanpackages.viralds.it/ceres/package/libimobiledevice6 |
19:35.58 | math_man | this is odd |
19:36.04 | math_man | IT shows ASCII as having it too |
19:36.05 | math_man | http://devuanpackages.viralds.it/ascii/package/libimobiledevice6 |
19:36.16 | math_man | But I upgraded to ASCII yesterday and it did not |
19:36.38 | math_man | which is when I bailed to Kubuntu 17.10 (which really *is* unstable) |
19:36.48 | golinux | Did you dist-upgrade? |
19:36.51 | math_man | yes |
19:36.58 | math_man | look at the chat logs here |
19:37.11 | math_man | Should I try again? |
19:37.18 | golinux | looks at all the chat logs |
19:37.27 | math_man | (also the menu spacing was messed up after moving to ASCII...) |
19:37.41 | math_man | lol |
19:37.52 | golinux | That's probably a gtk3 thing |
19:38.19 | math_man | how would you recommend I do it? Just change /etc/apt/sources, run update, then upgrade, then dist-upgrade? |
19:38.21 | golinux | Welcome to gnome's world |
19:38.30 | math_man | xfce is gnome derivative? |
19:38.43 | math_man | (gnome noob here, used to KDE) |

19:41.37 | Walex | math_man: to a very large extent 'wheezy' and 'jessie' are Devuan distros, of course 'wheezy' more than 'jessie' |
19:41.53 | math_man | right |
19:42.28 | Walex | math_man: but what's the point of installing Debian 'wheezy' and then upgrading it to Devuan 'jessie'? |
19:42.39 | Walex | math_man: but what's the point of installing Debian 'jessie' and then upgrading it to Devuan 'jessie'? |
19:42.53 | math_man | huh? |
19:43.05 | math_man | I think there has been a misunderstanding |
19:43.11 | math_man | that was someone else asking about that |
19:43.32 | math_man | this has purely to do with proerly upgrading from Jessie (devuan) to ASCII |
19:43.54 | Walex | Ahhh you were referring to Debuan 'jessie' to start with. |
19:44.03 | math_man | yes sir :-) |
19:44.08 | Walex | Ahhh you were referring to Debian 'jessie' to start with. |
19:44.25 | math_man | do either of you have ASCII installed? Can you please do an apt-cache search libimobiledevice6 and see if it shows? |
19:45.05 | golinux | I'm on stable |
19:45.26 | Walex | math_man: well, upgrade-in-place is always an option, but as "golinux" said it is going to be slow, like all in-place upgrades. |
19:45.59 | Walex | math_man: what about doing a personal backport from the source '.deb' for 'libimobiledevice6'? |
19:46.48 | math_man | been there, too many dependencies |
19:48.06 | Walex | math_man: do you know about pinning? |
19:48.20 | Walex | math_man: or '-t <archive>' in APT? |
19:48.33 | math_man | yes |
19:48.49 | Walex | math_man: then use them! :-) |
19:48.53 | Walex | math_man: that is: |
19:49.04 | math_man | apt-get install -t jessie-backports? |
19:49.20 | math_man | ah add an ascii repo and use that |
19:49.25 | Walex | math_man: add the ASCII sources, 'jessie-backports', pin them lower |
19:49.50 | Walex | math_man: add the ASCII sources, 'jessie-backports', pin them lower than 'jessie' and then use 'apt-cache policy' or the explorer in Aptitude to investigate your options |

20:44.54 | mathman | Ok time to experiment with your method |
20:45.35 | mathman | ok so just add ascii at the bottom, right? |
20:48.59 | Enrico_Menotti | http://paste.ubuntu.com/25529896/. If anybody could have a look there... |
20:51.13 | mathman | deb-src http://ca.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ ascii main non-free contrib |
20:52.27 | mathman | sudo apt-get -t ascii install libimobiledevice6 |
20:52.37 | mathman | The value 'ascii' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources |
20:53.07 | Enrico_Menotti | mathman apt-get update? |
20:53.11 | mathman | yup |
20:53.13 | mathman | done thqat |
20:53.15 | mathman | *that |
20:53.42 | mathman | and it did download some ascii stuff during the update |
20:54.15 | Enrico_Menotti | apt-cache policy libimobiledevice6? |
20:54.59 | mathman | unable to locate package |
20:56.15 | mathman | http://devuanpackages.viralds.it/ascii/package/libimobiledevice6 |
20:56.24 | mathman | It should be there |

21:01.55 | mathman | but apt-cache -t ascii also gives the same response |
21:01.56 | mathman | hmmm |
21:02.15 | mathman | ah there we go |
21:02.23 | mathman | I used deb-src in the sources.list instead of deb |
21:05.54 | mathman | there we go |
21:05.58 | mathman | better remove the old stuff first |
21:09.13 | mathman | looks good |
21:09.15 | mathman | time to reboot |
21:09.19 | mathman | thanks for the help again. Bye |

22:43.27 | tofu_ | Hey, a strange problem. Umm.. How to get copy paste working from the xfce terminal? I don't have a middle button. I have tried to enable emulation thougth xorg.conf, but it seems not to have taken effect. Anyone have a tip? |
22:43.33 | tofu_ | I have a fresh install |
22:43.52 | Xenguy | Shift-Insert may work |
22:44.10 | golinux | ctrl C ctrl V? |
22:44.29 | tofu_ | Xenguy: that is a go |
22:44.38 | Xenguy | glad to hear it |
22:44.53 | tofu_ | golinux: that is a nogo , ^c cancels things in a terminal |
22:45.08 | *** join/#devuan Besnik_b (~Besnik@ppp-94-66-221-138.home.otenet.gr) |
22:46.18 | golinux | LOL! Yeah, I don't go there often. You can also do paste from the 'edit' option in the menu bar. |
22:46.28 | tofu_ | But is it not a strange function to be missing? rightclick in a terminal? |
22:46.44 | Lieke | ctrl+shift+c / ctrl+shift+v |
22:47.12 | golinux | I just pasted with a right click |
22:47.34 | tofu_ | Lieke: that works as well, I kinda knew those shortcuts |
22:47.55 | tofu_ | I was just a bit supprised the right click did not work. |
22:48.10 | golinux | It worked here |
22:48.27 | tofu_ | in xfce-terminal? |
22:49.34 | gnarface | tofu_: 3-button emulation in xorg should work. that's how all of us have always done it all along. the right way to fix this issue is to revisit that xorg.conf setting, figure out why it didn't work. |
22:50.10 | gnarface | tofu_: (consider the possibility of user error; double check your work, read the xorg log file for evidence of failure) |
22:50.25 | tofu_ | gnarface: sure. Will do. |
22:51.42 | gnarface | tofu_: so we're clear here, i don't really know how much you know. do you know, for example, that this type of "copy/paste" copies implicitly on highlight of text, and the middle-mouse-click pastes whatever is currently highlighted? (there's no "copy" command, per-se other than that) |
22:52.36 | gnarface | if the problem is a typo in your xorg.conf though, i would expect some complaint about it in the xorg log |
22:53.27 | gnarface | the only other likely possibility is some other tool or config conflicting with it |
22:54.03 | golinux | tofu_: Yes in xfce-terminal? |
22:54.07 | gnarface | i've heard of 2-button mice that don't work with the 3-button emulation but in 20 years never seen one |
22:54.42 | Xenguy | I thought I used to click a 2-button mouse, both buttons at the same time, to emulate a 'middle-click' ? |
22:55.18 | Xenguy | (Once upon a very long time) |
22:55.19 | fsmithred | Xenguy, that still works |
22:55.25 | gnarface | Xenguy: yes, that's correct, but it has to be enabled at the xorg.conf (and i don't know if the default is on or off these days, but i thought they changed it to off a few years ago) |
22:55.35 | greenjeans | works in lxterminal and mate terminal |
22:55.37 | Xenguy | aha |
22:55.40 | fsmithred | sometimes |
22:55.49 | greenjeans | copy/paste |
22:56.09 | gnarface | Option "ChordMiddle" "boolean" |
22:56.10 | gnarface | <PROTECTED> |
22:56.16 | gnarface | (ftp://www.x.org/pub/X11R6.8.0/doc/mouse.4.html) |
22:56.25 | gnarface | ymmv if not using the "mouse" driver |
22:56.45 | gnarface | oh wait, that's not it |
22:56.47 | gnarface | it's this one: |
22:56.52 | gnarface | Option "Emulate3Buttons" "boolean" |
22:56.52 | gnarface | <PROTECTED> |
22:57.01 | tofu_ | But does xfce-terminal have a menu options on right click? |
22:57.17 | fsmithred | yes, tofu. It should be there. |
22:57.26 | greenjeans | try lxterminal, it's very nice ;) |
22:57.27 | gnarface | tofu_: that i don't know off the top of my head. if it does, it MAY have it's own clipboard builtin, like firefox |
22:57.29 | fsmithred | does right-click work other places? |
22:57.55 | *** join/#devuan Centurion_Dan (~Thunderbi@office.centurion.net.nz) |
22:57.58 | gnarface | tofu_: "ctrl-c/ctrl-v" also will work - in firefox and other gtk apps that map it. the 3button emulation is a lower level X thing |
22:57.58 | tofu_ | fsmithred: not in chrome |
22:58.10 | fsmithred | is mouse broken/dying? |
22:58.27 | gnarface | other option, are the switches just weak? |
22:58.32 | gnarface | i note this option from that manpage too: |
22:58.34 | gnarface | Option "Emulate3Timeout" "integer" |
22:58.35 | gnarface | <PROTECTED> |
22:58.39 | fsmithred | if xfce desktop, then right-click on desktop should give you a menu |
22:58.42 | tofu_ | fsmithred: Maybe.. Its a used computer I mooched of work. |
22:58.46 | gnarface | - 50ms might be a bit tight tolerance for some people |
22:59.03 | greenjeans | lol, mouse not working right in xfce is....ironic |
22:59.04 | gnarface | or if the mouse buttons are weak |
22:59.15 | fsmithred | lol |
22:59.48 | gnarface | tofu_: you can use xev to see if clicks are being registered, to eliminate the possibility of physical switch failure in the mouse |
23:00.09 | fsmithred | dirt? |
23:00.14 | tofu_ | gnarface: yes, good one |
23:00.29 | fsmithred | my mouse sometimes won't track properly until I give it a blowjob. |
23:00.43 | tofu_ | gnarface: jupp... Button is b0rked |
23:00.50 | tofu_ | *sight* |
23:01.04 | gnarface | bummer. sorry to hear that tofu_, but at least that saves you some time. this is definitely in the range of problems people usually *don't* have with working hardware |
23:01.35 | tofu_ | Oh well.. I have the keyboard shortcuts. Or can I hack the left one to work as right by a shortcut ? :p |
23:01.56 | gnarface | uh, you can alter the xorg.conf to remap the buttons, yea |
23:02.01 | greenjeans | mebbe xdotool? |
23:02.03 | gnarface | there might be userland tools to do it too |
23:02.09 | greenjeans | if you just gotta use that mouse |
23:02.51 | gnarface | tofu_: personally, if you got nothing but time and a screwdriver and a dead mouse, i'd suggest trying to take it apart to clean the switch. maybe it's just some caved-in piezo thing you can abuse back into working order then reassemble |
23:03.01 | tofu_ | Its just a laptop, which I what to use for wiresharking in the field, so it would be nice not to be dependant on a mouse. Maybe I can map the touchpad to be right button |
23:03.24 | gnarface | oh, that's pretty likely actually. some of them may be mapped already to that |
23:03.42 | gnarface | some devices have two-finger and three-finger tap enabled in hardware by default |
23:04.09 | gnarface | i think for many others you can enable it with the synaptic touchpad driver |
23:04.29 | greenjeans | so it's the button on your laptop that's broken, not an external mouse? |
23:05.44 | tofu_ | greenjeans: yeah, the laptop button it seems |
23:06.07 | tofu_ | I managed to l00t an Latitude E6230 |
23:07.00 | tofu_ | Hmm.. double finger scroll works |
23:07.01 | greenjeans | yeah, I agree with gnarface then, it's worth taking apart, that's a really simple switch, sometimes it's just a little corrosion on the contacts, and a pencil eraser will fix that |
23:08.11 | gnarface | if double-finger scroll works, double-finger tap might also |
23:08.43 | greenjeans | Question for all: Even if you don't use such yourself, do you feel a video-editing app is important enough to most end-users for it to be included as a default app in a linux distro? |
23:08.49 | gnarface | though i think that would be middle-click and three-finger tap would be right-click, or do i have those confused? well, either way, the "emulate3buttons" setting will probably sabotage that, so turn it off |
23:09.37 | gnarface | greenjeans: it depends on which one, i think |
23:10.20 | gnarface | but i'm not sure i'm qualified to pick, because i'd pick ffmpeg |
23:10.28 | tofu_ | Maybe I should turn of that emulation , as of yet, only double finger scroll seems to generate an event |
23:10.44 | greenjeans | I was thinking of adding Openshot....I don't do vids/youtube myself, but obviously a lot of folks do |
23:10.45 | gnarface | tofu_: three-finger tap doesn't work either? |
23:10.57 | gnarface | tofu_: three-finger tap may take some practice to actually do |
23:11.02 | Xenguy | gives the 1-finger salute ;P ... |
23:11.22 | Xenguy | (Just for fun, mind you) |
23:11.41 | tofu_ | Xenguy: =D |
23:13.44 | tofu_ | Nah, tried on two different latitudes , seems to only accept scroll events |
23:13.52 | tofu_ | maybe there is a bios setting |
23:14.17 | gnarface | it might just need a different input driver |
23:14.33 | gnarface | or a different config setting in xorg for the one it's using |

23:23.29 | greenjeans | xdotool |
23:23.50 | greenjeans | simulates whatever keypress you like |
23:24.20 | gnarface | tofu_: that should work, though for some window managers (e17 at least) xmodmap bindings get unset every time you start up, just fyi |
23:24.44 | gnarface | tofu_: (though e17 has built-in tools for mouse/keyboard mappings) |
23:25.04 | tofu_ | gnarface: good to know, I'm using xfce , just becuase its devuan default |
