01:37.49CriggieI fixed anyconnect (cisco vpn client used for remoting into a cisco ASA)
01:38.40Criggieturns out it was fine, but I'd forgotten that I used dnsmasq to do the resolution locally, and disallowed the VPN software permission to rewrite /etc/resolv.conf which was unhelpful.
01:39.11Criggiechattr +i /etc/resolv.conf        barred any changes - cos it runs as root, it was still changing the resolver config.

08:27.46KatolaZaynah[m]: did you apt-get update after adding i36?
08:27.50KatolaZi386
08:29.03aynah[m]I think so, yes.
08:29.54aynah[m]could I have installed i386 packages without that? if no, then I did. I don't remember.
08:30.46KatolaZaynah[m]: you must remove and purge all i386 pkgs before removing the arch
08:31.15KatolaZbbl
08:32.05aynah[m]How do I confirm that all the packages have been purged?
08:32.05aynah[m]if `apt list --installed | grep i386` returns nothing, is that a good indicator?
08:35.32*** join/#devuan Fervi (~fervi@89-78-6-88.dynamic.chello.pl)
08:37.59aynah[m]Okay, I did `sudo apt-get purge *:i386` and it hunted and purged some i386 packages not listed by `apt list --installed`
08:39.27aynah[m]I no longer get tab autocompletion when installing packages from apt-get.
08:39.38coyotei would remove so: apt-get purge `dpkg --get-selections | egrep .+:i386 | cut -f1`

08:43.12aynah[m]I don't know what multilib is. No. I wanted to remove i386 architecture, which I enabled to run a 32 bit binary.
08:43.51coyotealso do this: sudo dpkg --remove-architecture i386
08:44.01coyoteit removes i386 packages installing

17:38.39Guest72004he explains it in the wiki: *Translations we already have need to be improved/updated before being pushed to www.devuan.org. But there are some new additions to the wiki that could use translations as well.*
17:38.51Guest72004https://git.devuan.org/dev1fanboy/Upgrade-Install-Devuan/wikis/contributing-translations
17:39.55Guest72004i'll begin translating the mentioned pages
17:44.17msiismGuest72004: and these are?
17:49.45Guest72004msiism: i translated one of them in the past
17:49.59Guest72004and Linuxito too (Emiliano Marini)
17:50.54msiismGuest72004: nice. i just didn't really get what you ware going to work on.
17:53.39Guest72004i was also working on the transation of the little purpy book of devuan, but currently these translations are not available in gnuinos.org due to some upgrades in the server

17:56.14msiismGuest72004: ok, and what exactly are you going to be working on now?
17:56.27Guest72004the content still is there, as i explained to chillfan in #devuan-dev, but my hosting provider did some changes in the system and the whole gnuinos.org was not available
17:56.37Guest72004so, i changed the htaccess

17:57.04msiismGuest72004: so you're the one releasing gnunios?
17:57.21Guest72004yes
17:57.29msiismgreat.
17:59.43Guest72004it'll be released in a few days, but i'm also working on ascii at the same time
18:02.03Guest72004indeed, the blend of gnuinos for the live-sdk works in ascii, including debian installer
18:04.23msiismnice
18:08.42Guest72004a patch in the kernel of debian is needed if you want to use a custom one in the live-sdk, in order to avoid the message *Abort removing the running kernel*
18:09.08Guest72004something like:
18:09.19Guest72004if [ -z "$(ps)" ] > /dev/null
18:09.27Guest72004then continue
18:09.39Guest72004else
18:10.47Guest72004avoid to remove the running kernel, because we are not in a chroot jail
18:12.06Guest72004as i explained in this channel, no running proccess is detected within the live-sdk
18:12.55Guest72004i used this trick for the installation of simple-netaid and vdev
18:14.28Guest72004simple-netaid asks some questions to the user during its installation, but there is not any interacction between with the user; so, the installation of simple-netaid is skipped
18:15.30Guest72004so, i did the following change:
18:15.49Guest72004if [ -z "$(ps)" ] > /dev/null
18:15.53Guest72004then continue
18:15.55Guest72004else
18:16.02Guest72004do the questions to the user
18:16.42Guest72004something similiar happens in the case of vdev
18:16.57*** join/#devuan system16 (~system16@unaffiliated/system16)
18:18.24Guest72004for security reasons i added a script named vdev-assistant in such a manner that you can only install vdev via "vdev-assistant"

18:20.21Guest72004if pgrep -x "vdev-assistant"
18:20.32Guest72004then continue with the installation of vdev

18:21.16Guest72004Please, install this package and follow the instructions.
18:22.02Guest72004Oooh!!! But the vdev-assistant running procces is not detected within the live-sdk!!!
18:22.25msiismi don't quite follow, but i'm sure others so.
18:22.30msiismso -> do
18:22.34Guest72004so, we need to change:
18:22.42Guest72004if pgrep -x "vdev-assistant" > /dev/null
18:22.45Guest72004by:
18:22.46Guest72004if pgrep -x "vdev-assistant" || [ -z "$(ps)" ] > /dev/null
18:23.04Guest72004that is:
18:23.48Guest72004if vdev-assistant is running OR no proccess is running, then continue
18:24.53Guest72004need to go, see you :)

19:56.58_abc_<PROTECTED>
19:57.25_abc_I assume something is amiss with my write to usb stick. The partition tables were generated in the right place, so I assume that is right, at least.
19:57.58_abc_Yeah so all files are garbled somehow
19:59.23_abc_Is this some codepage thing? I mount on a linux system, it auto mounts as iso9660, no special options, ro
20:01.46gnarfacedoes it fail to boot then?
20:01.57gnarfacei haven't tested that image, but the NETINST one should work
20:02.03_abc_I have no way to try that here and now, this is on another machine, prepping media for install later Monday
20:02.31_abc_This is about verifying the written image. Does one normally mount it and see text files in it etc? I used to do that and it worked.

20:03.20gnarface_abc_: it could be a codepage thing.  hard to say
20:03.30_abc_The directory structure looks fine, the file contents are garbage
20:03.39_abc_If it is a codepage issue, which codepage would that be?
20:04.04gnarfacemost likely iso8859-1, or utf-9
20:04.07gnarfacei mean utf8
20:04.27_abc_Would the codepage not also mess up boot operation?
20:04.50_abc_Also the EFI, why is it there? I intend to use this on non EFI, will it boot normally on non EFI bios?
20:04.57nepugiaUTF-32
20:04.59gnarfacepresumably it has it's own, but maybe windows does not
20:05.11_abc_there is no windows involved
20:05.13nepugiaEFI partition doesnt hurt aslong as it also has the mbr specific stuff afaik
20:05.19_abc_nepugia: ok
20:05.23unixman_homeHrm, last time I wrote one I just used 'dd if=the.iso of=/dev/(SOMEUSB)'. Did seem to work fine.
20:05.26_abc_nepugia: UTF-32 is for real?
20:05.34_abc_bs=xx helps with speed a bit
20:05.42_abc_otherwise no changes
20:05.46_abc_and yet...
20:06.01nepugia_abc_ it is a real encoding, i doubt it was used though :p
20:06.32_abc_UTF-8 covers ascii 7 bit so most simple things like autorun.inf etc should be readable
20:06.53_abc_I verified that the 1st 256MB of the image and of the written usb stick are identical.
20:07.10_abc_So the root dir should be in it, and the 1st files. And the sha256sum matched
20:07.20chillfanremember also to use after dd: sync
20:07.33_abc_Any ideas where to look? Could anyone loop mount the iso and see what it looks like there?
20:08.22_abc_hm?
20:08.34chillfansync flushes buffers to disks
20:08.50gnarfacehow did you verify the text files were corrupted, _abc_?
20:08.52unixman_homechillfan, [20180113 11:03:04] <_abc_> && sync
20:09.14chillfanyea, sync will make sure the disk has been written to OK
20:09.46_abc_chillfan: I did && sync

20:10.37nepugiawhat does sync do?
20:10.50chillfansync (1)             - Synchronize cached writes to persistent storage
20:11.42_abc_I have no idea where to look
20:12.27_abc_Will check the sha256sum from another site, unlikely it is different
20:12.52_abc_can someone please mount their .iso image with loop and look in the mounted /md5sums.txt for example with vi?
20:13.12_abc_Just for sanity I tried -o remount,iocharset=utf8 did not help
20:15.14gnarfaceyour system has utf8 support setup already, right?
20:15.25gnarfacei really assumed they were latin1 though
20:16.08fsmithredthat file looks fine to me
20:18.15gnarface_abc_: what error did you get, exactly when opening them?  did vi complain about it being a binary file, or did it just look like some characters were wrong?

20:22.45gnarfacewell it's happened to me before
20:22.58chillfanDid you verify the sha256 sums with the signing key from files.devuan.org? If it passes it will eliminate problems with the iso at least
20:26.38gnarface_abc_: any chance for a screenshot?
20:27.29gnarfacethe description of your problem can also fit a common video ram failure case
20:27.38_abc_gnarface: I can pastebin them after re-writing them. Just a few minutes
20:27.43_abc_gnarface: unlikely
20:28.19gnarfacetypically you'd see other corrupted text glyphs and textures in other places, but where exactly depends on many factors.
20:28.30gnarfacesometimes it's non-obvious
20:29.05_abc_The sha256sums on https://files.devuan.org/devuan_jessie/installer-iso/ match the images I have
20:29.37_abc_in addition to the sha256sums matching the sha256sums file on the d/l mirror which is https://devuan.4isp.it/ in this case

20:30.08fsmithredon an iso that's been on my hard drive since May
20:30.14_abc_fsmithred: thanks
20:30.34_abc_fsmithred: what happens if you loop mount the 1st partition and look inside as it is default mounted on linux?
20:30.40gnarfacefsmithred: so, he thinks the README.txt and README.html on devuan_jessie_1.0.0_amd64_DVD.iso are both corrupted, but not the rest of the image itself, necessarily.  you've verified those two files specifically, the copies on the DVD iso, right?  (i don't have a copy downloaded here)
20:31.24fsmithredoh, I only looked at the md5sums.txt
20:31.26fsmithredhang on a sec
20:31.45gnarfaceif they're actually wrong on the DVD iso, that would explain this.  but not much else can.
20:31.54_abc_well if you can read md5sums.txt in the loop mounted image then there's soemthing amiss here. Which is very likely
20:32.44_abc_I bounght a new hama usb stick for this devuan project today, it might suck a bit. I will test it more.
20:33.04_abc_mumbles unprintable stuff about virused usb sticks and the like

20:37.35_abc_Yes. The /dev/sdc1 is devuan and /dev/sdc2 is EFI
20:37.42_abc_I will not be using EFI
20:37.50_abc_I think this new usb stick has some surprizes.
20:38.02_abc_Will test it more with random data scripted tonight.
20:38.03fsmithredwhat kind of usb stick?
20:38.15_abc_Sorry for the noise, this is not a devuan bug ;)
20:38.32_abc_fsmithred: Hama 8GB blister pack cheap stick, 10MBps write
20:38.51_abc_I bought it from a walk in reputable shop with warranty, and look what I got.
20:39.00fsmithrednever heard of it. And that's how people say "hammer" around here.
20:39.02_abc_We'll see I still have hope
20:39.21gnarfaceit might be fine.  try bs=1M or bs=512, and remember to && sync && sync && sync
20:39.21_abc_Hama is a well known accessories maker in Europe.
20:39.38_abc_I am writing it without the bs= arg and with && sync
20:39.39fsmithredoh, ok. Other continent.
20:39.47_abc_"Others". Run.
20:39.54_abc_[Lost reference] :)
20:39.54chillfanI usually go with sandisk for cheap stuff, they are ok
20:40.19_abc_Sandisk is horrible here, they bundle those strange secret partitions and stuff and it gave me no end of grief
20:40.59chillfanI'll have to look into that then
20:41.06_abc_It does write QUITE slowly for a 10MBps advertised speed device
20:41.11chillfanjust so I can trust my devices heh
20:41.36_abc_I'm okay with that as long as it does not mod the data. dmesg shows no errors on write.
20:42.48_abc_https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hama-Fancy-8GB-Pen-Drive-pendrive/dp/B00DB97FKK this is the exact product I have
20:43.25_abc_can someone remind me where can one look to see data being written, blocks progress, with dd?
20:43.58_abc_Note my device says 10MB/s on the back of the blister pack
20:44.12gnarfacethat's usually burst rate figures, irrelevant to dd
20:44.20gnarfacealso usually they assume fat32 filesystem for it
20:44.30_abc_I know
20:44.37gnarfaceyou can get progress from dd if you send it SIGUSR1
20:44.41fsmithred_abc_, you can use pv with dd to see progress
20:45.14_abc_fsmithred: ah pipe pv into dd?
20:45.34chillfanwwhat is pv?
20:45.41fsmithredyeah, pipe the if to pv and then pipe pv to dd
20:45.47chillfanit sounds useful..
20:45.48fsmithredand you need to feed pv the size
20:45.58fsmithredhang on and I'll show you an example
20:46.50_abc_nice it works, no need
20:46.59_abc_Did not think of pv, it's so useful :)
20:47.02_abc_thanks for the tip
20:47.21_abc_without bs= pv says it writes at ~3.6MBps
20:47.34_abc_not bad for the price I paid ($6 or so)
20:48.04_abc_except it freezes from time to time
20:48.38_abc_well, $6 worth of operation ;)
20:48.48_abc_Let's see if the read data is okay, then we talk
20:48.57_abc_So the EFI partition can be deleted if not used, right?
20:49.54gnarfacean interesting hypothesis
20:50.14chillfanI would leave it as is, and try that later if everything is working
20:50.32chillfanif it aint broke don't fix it :)
20:50.39fsmithredyeah, I would leave it there. It shouldn't do anything on a bios boot
20:53.00_abc_I just use to put data on /dev/sdc2 etc... the usb stick is poorly used if half is empty
20:53.28_abc_I talked about enabling auto detection of 'signed' additional partitions before, here, and using them as live session data store
20:53.56_abc_[some day]
20:54.07fsmithredsigned how?
20:54.44_abc_The source drive cannot be the problem, it's a usb3.0 scorcher
20:55.11_abc_fsmithred: simply place a file with a suitable uuit name in the / of that partition usually
20:55.49_abc_scripts look for it, mounting each found partition in turn, and if, they find it, use that partition as live session store somehow.
20:56.31_abc_This is what I did in the past. Requires adding a suitable seeker script to /etc/init.d or /etc/rc or similar

23:22.58merzbowhey, when I dpkg -l, some packages are marked for removal with iF, how I do I change this flag?
23:23.08merzbowhow do I**
23:26.27merzbowhey, when I do dpkg -l, some packages are marked for removal with iF, how do I change this flag?
23:26.55KatolaZmerzbow: ?
23:28.07*** join/#devuan gattuso (~gattuso@pompel.me)
23:28.33KatolaZmerzbow: if the flag is F it means that the package is half-configured
23:29.00KatolaZjust look at the first few lines in the output of "dpkg -l"
23:29.07KatolaZthat explains the flags
23:29.48merzbowoic
23:30.39KatolaZF means that the package failed to finish it's configuration
23:30.58KatolaZyou should probably "dpkg-reconfigure PKGNAME"
23:32.37fsmithredmaybe 'apt-get -f install'
23:33.26merzbowI accidentally marked some stuff with remove, now any time I want to do anything else in synaptic it wants to remove these
23:33.39merzbowi'll try reconfiguring
23:34.08merzbowaptitude keep-all still wants to remove them
23:34.21merzbowpackage management has been a wild ride so far ;_;
23:35.16fsmithredto remove something from the autremoval list, 'apt-get install <package>'
23:35.48fsmithredI don't know if that affect synaptic
23:36.34gnarfacei don't think they play nice
23:36.36KatolaZmerzbow: apt-get -f install
23:36.40gnarfacei don't know for sure
23:36.50KatolaZmerzbow: are you mixing repos?
23:37.48merzbowI did not mix repos this time lol
23:39.18merzbow-f install wants to remove essential packages.. and hexchat..
23:39.25merzbowmaybe a good thing for you guys heh
23:39.45fsmithred<PROTECTED>
23:39.51KatolaZwhat do you mean by :essential packages"?
23:40.39merzbowlibc-bin
23:41.05KatolaZmerzbow: you must have screwed up things badly
23:41.13merzbowlook, idk how to get build-essential without the debian repo
23:41.30*** part/#devuan Oldmoss (~Oldmoss@anon-62-226.vpn.ipredator.se)
23:42.08fsmithredhuh?
23:42.11KatolaZuh?
23:42.13KatolaZo_O
23:42.14fsmithredget it from devuan repo
23:42.21KatolaZmerzbow: are you kidding?
23:42.25fsmithredapt-get install build-essential
23:42.34KatolaZmerzbow: please paste your sources.list somewhere
23:43.01fsmithredusing debian repos is like drinking water from the river that did not go through the treatment plant
23:43.53nepugiai found third party repos targeting debian to work on devuan nicely though
23:43.54nepugiae,g the winehq packages
23:44.24merzbowthis is why the year of the linux desktop is far away :(
23:44.48merzbowi didnt add the debian repo to my sources.list because that broke my last install
23:44.58merzbowbut I wanted to get gcc and make
23:45.08fsmithredapt-get install build-essential
23:45.24merzbowayye
23:45.25fsmithredapt-get install $(uname -r)
23:45.30KatolaZmerzbow: gcc and make ARE in Devuan
23:45.30fsmithredfor the kernel headers
23:45.49KatolaZmerzbow: could you please post your sources.list somewhere (not here, a pastebin maybe)
23:47.01*** join/#devuan metax (~metax@gateway/tor-sasl/metax)
23:47.35merzbowI have jessie-update and jessie-security
23:47.46merzbowis there more I'm unaware of?
23:47.56merzbowsorry guys, this is not clearly documented anywhere
23:48.30KatolaZmerzbow: please paste your sources.list somewhere
23:50.01KatolaZmerzbow: everything is documented on the Devuan website
23:50.02KatolaZhttps://devuan.org/
23:50.21KatolaZmerzbow: scroll down until "Packages"
23:50.48fsmithredshould be a line for jessie, too
23:51.06merzbowderp
23:51.23merzbowty guys
23:52.36fsmithreddid you install without a network mirror?
23:53.21merzbowWith this install I just did from disc without network, then added updates and security and updated kernel
23:53.30merzbowit wasn't obvious to add jessie
23:53.52fsmithredyeah, that's a problem
23:54.25fsmithredwould be nice if we could put it there, commented out
23:55.39merzbowthat would help a lot I think
23:55.47merzbowI thought this distro had a skimpy repo lol
23:56.08merzbowwow, now we're cookin
23:56.11fsmithredonly for the packages that have been changed. The rest comes from debian.
23:56.27fsmithredbut you gotta let it run through the filter
23:56.28KatolaZmerzbow: that's a known issue
