09:30.18Criggiewell that was annoying - couldn't boot an ascii machine because of network problems - kept "waiting for lock on /run/network/ifstate.eth0"
09:30.27CriggieI had to tell grub to boot   init=bin/bash
09:30.40Criggiethen edit /etc/fstab to comment out the NFS mounts
09:30.52Criggieand edit /etc/network/interfaces to remove a vlan interface
09:31.00CriggieOnly then would it boot normally.

10:05.00amarsh04I've had some problems starting KDE plasma recently (last few days), it starts as a different user ok but still gives a long .xsession-errors file so will see what I can change to reduece the size of the output
10:06.04amarsh04might be because I'm using something from Debian experimental rather then Devuan ascii
10:06.26amarsh04will be experimenting on other machine for a while but will check back in here

10:52.30nacelle(debian installer boots on this machine)
10:54.43KatolaZamarsh04: be careful if you use Debian repos, since you can easily get systemd-related stuff
10:55.06KatolaZnacelle: which installer are you talking about?
10:56.52KatolaZ(nacelle: Devuan version? media? )

13:20.41blopnormally i'd now run grub-install, but 'command not found'

13:24.30blopfound the packages on the live dvd and am installing
13:28.03blopnot sure how to create an efi for devuan.  i can access /boot/efi/EFI and see the previous ones
13:28.31blopneed the bootx64.efi for devuan
13:31.25fsmithredblop, is "uefi" in the filename of the iso?
13:31.28KatolaZblop: there are already DVD images for EFI
13:31.36KatolaZthere you go :)
13:31.42blopno it isn't in the iso :/
13:31.50KatolaZblop: wrong iso then
13:31.54fsmithredcan still fix it if you can connect to internet
13:32.23blopi can ifup eth0 and the route looks good, but no pings
13:32.23fsmithredapt-get install grub-efi-amd64
13:32.54blopoh cool, i can mount the image on /media/cdrom
13:32.56KatolaZblop: is it in a VM?
13:33.44blopno
13:34.19blopis there a default wifi/network manager?  didn't see one in the menu
13:34.21fsmithredblop, you tried pinging a number instead of a name?
13:34.27fsmithredwicd
13:34.27blopyes tried pinging the router
13:34.50fsmithredmaybe 'dhclient eth0' would work better? That's just a guess.
13:35.15fsmithredwhat's in /etc/resolv.conf?
13:35.52fsmithredI usually just have the router address in that file
13:36.20blopapt-get install grub-efi-amd64 succeeded
13:36.37fsmithredoh! so you are online.
13:36.42blopresolv.conf has my router as nameserver
13:37.02blopi am not online - it installed from installation media mounted on /media/cdrom
13:37.05fsmithredit should pull in everything you need. just run 'grub-install' and 'update-grub'
13:37.14fsmithredoh
13:37.17blopwell at least i can't ping
13:37.45bloplooks good
13:38.08blopupdate-grub did give an error

13:39.03fsmithredthat's weird
13:40.17blopwell i have grubx64.efi in /boot/efi/EFI/devuan now
13:40.25fsmithredgood
13:40.34blopwicd also didn't get installed
13:40.38fsmithredhope you get a boot menu
13:40.54fsmithredoh, please run 'dpgk -l | wc -l'
13:41.46fsmithredshould be more than 1400 packages installed
13:41.57blop1277
13:42.08fsmithredsomething got lost in the install
13:42.38fsmithredyou can check the error log - should be in user's home
13:42.55fsmithredbut probably just contains stupid gtk errors
13:43.24blopi used non-gui install
13:43.37fsmithredthat's ok
13:43.46fsmithredit should do the same thing
13:44.22fsmithredif it didn't get copied to your home, look in /var/log/refractainstaller_error.log
13:45.19blopno such file

13:48.40fsmithredyou should be able to install whatever you want from that.
13:48.42blopi find python-wicd and wicd-daemon on the installer iso
13:48.50blopboth are installed

13:51.13blopdhclient didn't get an address
13:51.39blopi see python-wicd seems to have executables in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wicd

13:59.56blopdo i want a live iso to install devuan to hard drive?
13:59.57fsmithredand you got grub prompt because there's no grub.cfg since update-grub failed
14:00.04fsmithredeither should work
14:00.23fsmithredif you want lvm or raid, live isos won't do it
14:00.34blopno need for that
14:00.46fsmithredyou still on grub prompt?
14:00.54fsmithredeasy to boot from there
14:02.05blopyeah did it before
14:03.23blopthis time it said error: no suitable video mode found.

14:10.28blopdownloading the devuan_jessie_1.0.0_amd64_uefi_desktop-live.iso    while i'm at it
14:10.37fsmithredok
14:10.53fsmithredone advantage of the live install is that it's a faster install - about 10 min.
14:11.14blopwell i have about an hour til the iso is downloaded and dd'd
14:11.31blopi'll try 1024x768

14:27.41blopohh
14:27.43fsmithredbut since it's uefi, there's no way to predict what it will do.
14:28.00fsmithredis this a laptop?
14:28.20fsmithredbetter question: what kind of computer?
14:28.45blopyes laptop.  i wanted a ryzen so i got an acer swift 3 with ryzen 2500u
14:28.57blopdunno if it's a keeper
14:29.16fsmithredif the laptop is a keeper, the OS is not. YOu need newer kernel.
14:29.31fsmithredI think ryzen needs at least 4.10
14:29.55blopi think ascii has 4.10, don't remember
14:29.57fsmithredI made an iso with ascii and ascii backports kernel that should work
14:30.00fsmithredno 4.9

15:16.04fsmithredtoward the end of the install
15:16.15fsmithredor continue without bootloader

15:17.29fsmithredglad you like it
15:17.56blopsummary says pre-install scripts are disabled.  is that right?
15:18.04bloppost-install scripts are enabled
15:18.19fsmithredpre-install scripts are for locale and tzdata settings
15:18.26blopok i can do that later
15:18.47fsmithredpostinstall removes the installer icon from the desktop, but I didn't put one there, so it won't do anything.
15:19.35fsmithreddamn, I should not have left the pre-install scripts disabled. I must have set that in the config file, because I was testing with the cli installer
15:21.17blopif i don't run 'Install bootloader' then grub2 won't know about the new devuan uefi stuff, right?
15:21.39blopreinstalling bootloader /should/ find the existing partitions, no?
15:21.48fsmithredif you don't run that, then 'grub-install' and 'update-grub' won't run
15:22.11blopwell i don't care about the other os's :) so no harm can be done
15:22.11fsmithredif you have another linux installed, you can boot into that one, run update-grub, and the new install should get added to the boot menu

15:56.56DocScrutinizer05fromport: hehe nice
15:59.15DocScrutinizer05for the "it's easier and faster to write znit files for systemd than to write sysv initscripts" I have my own answer: I can save 10s in typing with unit files, but only after 6h of study how to achieve that. And alas the knowledge learned from systemd unitfile study doesn't stick to my brain so the expense/savings ratio is every time the same

16:02.35gnarfacealso it's probably worth mentioning that if a sysvinit script is that much of an intellectual burden to you, maybe you need to study more.
16:02.52DocScrutinizer05indeed
16:03.30DocScrutinizer05very much unlike unit files, sysvinit files are self explabatory to every moderately educated sysop
16:04.04DocScrutinizer05and don't get me started on debugging (options) - but I guess this whole rant is OT in here
16:04.40WalexDocScrutinizer05: that's a bit optimistic -- many shell scripts are pretty poorly written; bvut the unit file "scripting language" basically forces one to write poor scripts :-)
16:07.05fromporti used to work with miquels (author sysvinit on linux) and he is a real genius in writing scripts ;-)

16:08.35Walexfromport: many thanks! :-)
16:09.28Walexone of the tragedies of Debian/Debuan is that some pre/port shell script for packages are colossal and spaghetti-like. I think the longest is around 2,000 lines long
16:09.40DocScrutinizer05writing *good* shellscripts is a an art not everybody can master
16:09.49fromportmiquels wrote games for zx81/spectrum back in the days. you had to be fairly creative to make something work back then ;-)

16:10.55DocScrutinizer05at least game of life
16:11.03fromportwe must all be old geezers then ;-)
16:11.35Walexfromport: on the other hand I knew a guy who implemented a Lisp interpreter on a 64KiB z80 system and had such a rich set of data type operations (including rational complex numbers on an 8-bit machine) that the largest program it could run was around 50-100 lines long
16:11.56DocScrutinizer05hahaha
16:12.01Walexfromport: "veteran UNIX admins" as the label says in the tin :-)
16:12.46blop< old too
16:12.52Walexmy oldest UNIX system home was a 286 running Microport System V.2
16:13.01DocScrutinizer05ugh
16:13.40DocScrutinizer05it wasn't before 386 that I actually installed a linux on a system. Amiga lacked MMU
16:13.59fromportstarted with 6809 with flex and later uniflex ;-)
16:14.22fromporton home made hardware
16:14.26DocScrutinizer05I pondered porting minix to my amiga1000
16:14.58DocScrutinizer05my homegrows stuff never seen anything but Z80 hex codes

16:18.47fromport*grin* wonderful! taking us back to memory lane ! ;-)
16:19.12fromportwe bought uniflex with 5 people together since i/we couldn't afford a legal copy back then
16:21.14Walexfromport: the earlier price list must be from end 1989/beginning 1990 because that's when I upgraded to 32 bit ESIX (Microport V.2 was 16-bit for 286s and had virtual memory and worked pretty well).
16:21.31DocScrutinizer05a real pity though dates later: never got around to actually buying a NeXT cube, and even lost the excellent manuals I had bought
16:23.36WalexI wonder sometimes where all the people who did pretty good stuff like Microport or ESIX are now -- I hope they are earning well at google or somewhere like that.
16:24.13DocScrutinizer05pondered applying at Google, a week ago
16:25.31Walexmy impression is that of course Google is non-discriminatory, buthe somehow that people over 35-40 very rarely get hired
16:25.58DocScrutinizer05:nod:
16:26.07fromportmiquels (author sysvinit) declined job at google. i think he still regrets that. but we did get to write/adept sysvinit with serial console and were mentioned on the frontpage of nasa. they needed serial console support to boot a computer shot into space so we wrote it ;-)
16:26.09WalexNo country for Veteran UNIX Admins :-)
16:26.58Walexfromport: there is a story that appeared on NeXTMagazine that made me really laugh about careers at big places...

16:27.59DocScrutinizer05http://web.mit.edu/humor/Computers/real.programmers
16:28.43Walexfromport: some NeXT developer was moaning that his colleagues who had followed R Rashid (the CTO) at Microsoft were making so much more in stock options than him, because he kept working for NeXT/Apple and at the time Apple stock had not yet ballooned up.

21:11.00_abc_The way I see it, politically, rh was digging itself into future sales with wayland and some poettering emanations, making linux hosts much less remote-friendly.
21:11.41fsmithredomg, I could get in trouble with that release name
21:12.02_abc_Look, it's not susanwaylandclub.com <nsfw>, right?
21:13.11_abc_fsmithred: maybe I misunderstood, which release name?
21:13.17_abc_bionic beaver?
21:13.53_abc_on topic: in devuan jessie, is it safe-ish to switch to another window manager from the default?
21:14.14fsmithredyes, I think you understood
21:14.32_abc_<cough> which one. The beaver or the wayland... susan...
21:14.34fsmithredyou can install as many window managers and desktop environments as you want
21:14.39fsmithredas long as you don't want gnome
21:15.02_abc_Okay, noted. kde is in there somewhere? kde4 is grotty but the current default window manager could use some minor polish
21:15.10merzbowopenbox works fine, and is very light
21:15.23_abc_I would like usable with few surprises. Light is not important
21:15.41fsmithredkde in jessie (I think) has some problems
21:15.43_abc_Specifically, things like pressing the power button shortly means I really want it to shutdown, not ask me if I wanna.
21:15.55_abc_Okay, so no kde. We'll find something more configurable
21:15.58fsmithredkde5 in ascii seems ok (with elogind) but I haven't used it much
21:16.11fsmithredand tde will install in jessie and work

21:17.18fsmithredyes, devuan
21:17.20_abc_ok
21:17.33_abc_Oh, they have instructions for devuan? Respect.
21:22.52fsmithredS. Wayland is pretty tame. You must have a very strict workplace.
21:24.31_abc_It's not from work, I stumbled into that place a long time ago, remebered (can't unsee) it
21:24.49_abc_https://simson.net/ref/ugh.pdf fun, 360 pages of unix hater's handbook, it keeps growing.
21:26.30_abc_The X humor begins at ~pp 161
21:27.25MinceRwow, canonical doing actual work?
21:27.41MinceRor did they get some suckers at debian to maintain it for them? :>
21:28.23_abc_MinceR: I think some ceo political type got fed up of not being able to access his work pc from a tablet while in a business "trip" with palm trees context
21:28.28MinceR:>
21:28.43MinceRif only all that energy was invested into making a better windowing system instead of randing in that book :>
21:29.32_abc_MinceR: the good news is that, once Wayland is waylaid, that book of gripes will be all they have left. Xorg works fine, not without bugs and the occasional kick in the back side, but it works.
21:30.45_abc_See stupidity pp 187 'Shell crash' -- wow did that guy get things wrong.
21:31.13_abc_I think you don't even need to craft a fork bomb into cmd.exe, it just happens naturally as a part of normal operations
21:31.31MinceRwhy do they even use csh in the first place?
21:31.48_abc_Because they can't crash the other shells for demo purposes?
21:31.57MinceRlol
21:32.24MinceRi guess they boot into windows after they're done bashing unix, then
21:32.47_abc_That being said, :(){:;};: is an evergreen in bash. I don't think it's right as I wrote it there
21:32.58_abc_MinceR: *if* they can

23:18.52ibanja_The repo works on my ascii install, but not on this jessie install.  Interesting.
23:18.53KatolaZibanja_: one thing is almost sure in De??an: that the repos of a stable/oldstable distro are always consistent
23:19.01KatolaZ:)
23:19.14fsmithredyeah, debian stable is same as ascii, not jessie
23:19.27TomTheDragonWhat build system does Devuan use? Is it the same as Debian, the wanna-build/sbuild/etc?
23:19.35KatolaZno TomTheDragon
23:19.42KatolaZwe have a ci based on jenkins
23:19.52ibanja_OK, that makes sense...
23:20.15TomTheDragonKatolaZ: hmm, interesting... Am trying to decide whether to track Debian or Devuan with a 486/586 port.
23:21.34KatolaZTomTheDragon: Debian abandoned 586 long ago...
23:21.42TomTheDragonKatolaZ: I think in 2016
23:22.01KatolaZoh, it looked more remote ;)
23:22.14TomTheDragonBut the baseline bump actually happens in stretch, keyed on the release name in the gcc rules file.
23:22.44TomTheDragon486 fell out of support a long while ago, but likely due to no tests. I only have 586 box to test with ;)
23:23.28KatolaZI still must have a 486 board somewhere, but it's not in working order I guess :D
23:24.37TomTheDragonah, I see... it's keyed on the debian release in an inverse way
23:25.07TomTheDragonif the release is etch, lenny it's 486. if squeeze, wheezy, or jessie, it's i586. else it's i686
23:26.12TomTheDragonand debian, is on an else block of "Ubuntu"... so Devuan would be treated as debian (unless the source was changed)

23:29.58TomTheDragonI'm not entirely sure what you meant by not forking gcc
23:30.54ibanja_KatolaZ: concerning the xpra repo.  How likely am I to run into a problem when using an xpra debian-stretch repo with devuan-ascii?
23:31.08KatolaZibanja_: who knows?
23:31.09KatolaZ:)
23:31.09TomTheDragonAnd I was basically saying it doesn't really matter... after jessie (in debian) the gcc rules specify i686 architecture. So it doesn't really matter.
23:31.32ibanja_:) right
23:31.34KatolaZibanja_: in theory it's not a good idea to mix devuan and debian repos
23:31.50KatolaZin practice, if you are sure that that repo includes only xpra packages
23:31.54KatolaZand nothing else
23:31.59KatolaZthen you should be able to use it

23:32.40*** join/#devuan IoFran (~Thunderbi@189.231.114.2)
23:33.10ibanja_right... I guess it's a matter of checking out the package and the dependencies it needs and taking a shot.

23:35.45TomTheDragontwm? I remember I used to use that.
23:35.55ibanja_good point, pinning... BTW xpra is used to run X programs from a remote machine.  The dependencies seem to be a lot of python modules.  I don't think it will have any systemd-less issues, but time will tell. .
23:36.13KatolaZthanks ibanja_
23:36.27KatolaZ:)
23:36.32KatolaZI have learned something
23:36.55ibanja_Me too... I think using --no-install-recommends and pinning would cut down on possibility of issues.
23:36.56KatolaZ(btw, ssh -X should be enough for that, right?)
23:37.17KatolaZ(I mean for running remote X applications...)
23:37.48ibanja_yes ssh -X works well, but xpra can be used to forward a whole session.
23:37.53TomTheDragonYou don't want to use it just for running remote applications, really.
23:38.20TomTheDragonBut if you want persistent remote applications, and access them from various machines like GNU screen for pty, it can be useful
23:38.48TomTheDragon(for me, I really only care about keeping things like servers, etc running, which are either daemons or in screen sessions)
23:38.52ibanja_I am trying to set up s computer for a conference type situation that I can control from my desktop and this allows that as well.

23:51.30TomTheDragonKatolaZ: would it be a trivial exercise to fire up a Jenkins CI to build Devuan? Just curious.
23:51.50TomTheDragonwith say, alternative configuration of a few packages
23:52.10KatolaZTomTheDragon: it's not sraightforward
23:52.23KatolaZthe problem is not just jenkins
23:52.28TomTheDragonah, so just as straightforward as Debian
23:52.29KatolaZbut the dak install behind it
23:53.02KatolaZwhich is a bit of a hairball
23:53.23TomTheDragonyep, as I've heard. I've kind of avoided dak for my experimentation, though I'm trying to rebuild debian itself
23:53.28*** join/#devuan blinkdog (~blinkdog@devuan/developer/blinkdog)
23:53.55TomTheDragonjust using reprepro and some ksh/perl (from debian ports guys)
23:53.58KatolaZTomTheDragon: why, if I can ask?
23:54.34*** join/#devuan g4570n (~g4570n@unaffiliated/g4570n)
23:54.47TomTheDragontargeting lower baseline for x86
23:56.15KatolaZoh I see
23:56.25KatolaZthat would be cool
23:56.34KatolaZbut maybe too much of a mess
23:56.35KatolaZI mean
23:56.45KatolaZthere is little point into compiling KDE for a 486
23:56.55TomTheDragonKDE5, haha. yeah
23:57.12KatolaZI remember KDE 1 was already a sluggish slug on a Pentium 1
23:57.14KatolaZ...
23:57.29TomTheDragonOn 586, 3.5 (TDE) is almost passable
23:57.32KatolaZI think I didn't run anything more than fvwm2 on a 486

23:57.42KatolaZ:)
23:58.35TomTheDragonYeah, I might be able to get away with a subset of packages. But that's some work in itself, selecting them all.
23:58.58KatolaZTomTheDragon: jessie has some 42K packages
23:59.03KatolaZascii has 52K+
23:59.17KatolaZsource packages are in the region of 30K, IIRC
23:59.32TomTheDragonYeah, a lot of packages (though not sure how many are noarch)
23:59.44KatolaZyou mean "all"
23:59.54TomTheDragonyeah, all. not any.
