00:06.52 | Digit | trying to upgrade/migrate an old crunchbang (iirc: jessie(?)), but it's getting in a mess with blockages of various held n not wanting to install/uninstall past conflicts... wondering if i'm missing some more severe rebase command that can scrap the lot n install a base devuan, pushing any packages that complain, out of the way... or might that as well be a full wipe and reinstall? |

00:26.19 | gnarface | Digit: with apt-get you can try "--fix-broken" or you could try aptitude which tries to think for you and suggest multiple solutions |
00:27.36 | gnarface | Digit: if you haven't actually corrupted the dependencies (always a possibility when mixing 3rd party repos) then usually you can repair it. sometimes it requires knowing what needs to be removed first, and what needs to be replaced after removal, and what needs to stay out. |
00:29.36 | Digit | yeah. no easy pass with --fix-broken. likely going to be a lot of manual noodling. i try poking at it some more with aptitude. but i think it's going to be a mess needing extensive manual intervention and many steps. |
00:30.34 | gnarface | one thing you could try is a clean minimal install to chroot, then you could compare the package list in there to what you have in the main install so you know what parts aren't part of the base system |
00:30.52 | Digit | excellent suggestion. thnx. |
00:31.11 | gnarface | no problem |
00:31.14 | Digit | then that makes it seem as easy as just a diff. |
00:31.24 | Digit | (i say before actually trying) |
00:31.31 | gnarface | it's more or less just that, yea |
00:32.21 | gnarface | then, in theory you can just uninstall everything but the bare minimum, and start again from there |
00:33.02 | gnarface | sometimes some packages will resist due to broken circular dependencies (that corrupted package tree risk i mentioned earlier) but usually you can still force them out |
00:33.18 | gnarface | i won't lie and say it's not possible to irrecoverably corrupt it though |
00:33.22 | gnarface | that's a real risk |
00:38.24 | gnarface | oh |
00:38.47 | gnarface | Digit: it's probably also worth mentioning that it's very possible a reinstall will be much faster |

03:17.55 | gnarface | i can't really help with specifics, as i don't know crunchbang, but i vaguely recall seeing this cause problems for other people too, prior to the existance of devuan |
03:18.09 | gnarface | crunchbang is a debian derivative like devuan |
03:18.25 | gnarface | unlike devuan they seem to do a bad job of warning people that it is NOT debian |
03:18.28 | Digit | is/was. yeah. |

03:19.40 | Digit | devuan is more not debian (or more debian, since debian are the splitterds), than crunchbang ever was. twas mostly just a debian respin. |
03:20.02 | Digit | nice preconfiguration went the distance. |
03:20.16 | gnarface | sometimes the fix is a really simple and glaringly stupid but usually also poorly documented and known by nearly nobody |
03:21.06 | gnarface | because yea they're usually very similar but the problem comes down to some difference between the use of = or >= in the dependency headers |
03:21.20 | gnarface | something tiny that just cascades into a huge package tree tangle |
03:21.55 | gnarface | if i were to start over with my own distro i'd design the package dependency mechanisms to be simpler in an effort to hopefully be more resilient to this type of corruption |
03:22.57 | gnarface | i think at the time they were intended to be fast and nobody expected anyone to ever re-use the system outside of Debian |

03:38.31 | gnarface | Digit: look at the versions, then compare them to packages.debian.org or ask "aptitude why [package name]" or uh... "apt-cache depends [package name]" i think |
03:39.25 | Digit | thnx for the tip. will do, after taking a break from it for a little while. |
03:39.31 | gnarface | Digit: i'm guessing the reason is they and/or some of their immediate dependencies are actually from the crunchbang repo and have some minor version mismatch with the debian/devuan ones |
03:40.00 | gnarface | Digit: in theory it should be possible to isolate those and just force the reinstall of the right version |
03:40.38 | gnarface | but it will require manual intervention |
03:40.57 | gnarface | and heh, yea if it's your shell itself, you can't just remove it |

13:26.12 | blop | alright i don't really need a .deb |
13:30.47 | JotaMG | let me explain, I hate to engage with things that after I discover I'm unable to do well. |
13:30.49 | JotaMG | So is good to have an idea in advance what is needed for that tasks, what to expect, etc., so I can judge if I can keep up, since my free time is limited. |
13:30.50 | JotaMG | So, if Devuan cannot make that necessary "learning process" the easier as possible, unfortunately I will have to pass! |
13:31.39 | fsmithred | JotaMG, there is a developers manual in the works. That should help, once it's done. |
13:32.06 | JotaMG | ok that's great! |
13:32.39 | fsmithred | check dng mailing list. It's been very active lately, with several new people taking up packages. |
13:33.27 | JotaMG | what is "dng mailing list" ? |
13:34.11 | fsmithred | Debian's Not Gnome - it evolved into a devuan mailing list. |
13:34.54 | FatPhil | I think I'm going stupid. Can't partition my HD in the installer. It offers me FAT16, Fat32, swap, physocal volume for encryption, physical volume for RAID, physical volume for LVM, and do not use this partition. Where's "ext4 file system"? |

13:35.35 | fsmithred | FatPhil, it should be at the top of that list. Which iso are you using? |
13:36.06 | FatPhil | fsmithred: some random USB install stick I downloaded yonks ago |
13:36.43 | fsmithred | well, ascii beta isos were released last week. Maybe you'd like to use one of those. Sounds like you got a jessie beta. |
13:37.04 | FatPhil | I want to jessie, I'm a stable kind of guy |
13:37.34 | fsmithred | ok, so get a jessie stable iso. What you report sounds like a problem that was in one of the betas. |
13:38.01 | FatPhil | weird, as I did install a sytem using it in the past. But I'll grab a newer one. |

Its an old netbook, I just use it to play videos & old emulator games like nintendo 64, sega, gameboy etc. I thought it was something to do with the I/O scheduler but it would appear I may be wrong about that. I have tried every I/O scheduler I have |
17:11.37 | karl79 | , cfq, and yet it still does this... I've tried kernel 4.9, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15... |
17:12.00 | karl79 | I think it might be something to do with the i915 driver but I don't know.... |
17:14.37 | karl79 | I disabled the I/O schedulers completely by adding scsi_mod.use_blk_mq=1 on kernel 4.9, does anyone know how I can disable the I/O schedulers with the proper command & not the MQ I/O scheduler kernel parameter? |

18:09.33 | onekk | hi to all, after some tweaking I've update and upgraded my devuan ascii installation, now I'm facing a problem, or better a question? |
18:09.48 | buZz | better a question, yes |
18:09.51 | onekk | I have consolekit and elogind installed, is consolekit needed |
18:09.54 | onekk | ? |
18:10.27 | buZz | i have both those installed |
18:10.29 | *** join/#devuan gwillen (~gwillen@unaffiliated/gwillen) |
18:10.46 | buZz | no clue if they are needed, i didnt install them myself, they were pulled in by dependancies |
18:12.13 | onekk | Ah OK, but I've had problem in shutting down or halting with my openbox installation, so I have run pam-auth-update and deselected consolekit |
18:12.34 | onekk | plus I have upgraded the elogind policykit backends, |
18:12.46 | fsmithred | onekk, what desktop, what login manager, and which libpolkit packages are installed? |
18:13.17 | onekk | now the only reference of consolekit is consolekit itself checked with 'sudo dpkg -l |grep console' |
18:13.21 | fsmithred | what are you trying to use for shutdown in openbox? |
18:13.29 | onekk | Hi fsmithred |

18:18.15 | buZz | get pen & paper then? :D |
18:18.20 | fsmithred | you can just tell me what you see |
18:18.52 | fsmithred | libpolkit-gobject-1-0-systemd or libpolkit-gobject-1-0-elogind? You want the latter. |
18:19.47 | onekk | libpolkit-agent-1-0:amd64 + libpolkit-backend-1-0-elogind:amd64 + libpolkit-gobject-1-0-elogind:amd64 all with 0.105-18+devuan2.4 version |
18:20.05 | fsmithred | ok, that looks right |
18:20.11 | fsmithred | is policykit-1 installed? |
18:20.37 | fsmithred | and how do you expect to shutdown in openbox? It only gives you log out. |
18:21.04 | fsmithred | or are you trying to do it from lightdm login screen? |
18:21.15 | onekk | yes with the same version, Now the system is working, but i wonder if consolekit is needed anymore? |
18:21.34 | fsmithred | shouldn't be needed, but won't hurt if it's there |
18:21.53 | fsmithred | also, the pam-auth-update isn't really needed. They can all be checked. |
18:21.54 | onekk | the lightdm login screen is not working, the openbox is working now after following some istruction foound on forum |
18:22.06 | fsmithred | how? |
18:22.36 | fsmithred | lxpanel? tint? somthing else? |
18:23.05 | fsmithred | you edited menu.xml? |

19:25.28 | karl79 | I don't know which bug... that's the problem. |
19:25.34 | KatolaZ | -_- |
19:25.52 | karl79 | I just don't know what it is doing this :/ sorry. i'll try to explain to you what its doing to the best of my abilities |
19:26.23 | karl79 | whenever I'm playing my emulator games, after 5 to even up to 30 minutes it starts to lag really really bad |
19:26.48 | karl79 | Be it on MGBA(gameboy), nintendo 64(mupen64plus), or snes9x or anything else |
19:27.01 | karl79 | I THINK it has something to do with the IO schedulers but I just don't know :/ |
19:27.19 | buZz | no IO scheduler would do that |
19:27.27 | KatolaZ | karl79: improbable |
19:27.31 | buZz | its most probably inefficient cooling |
19:27.36 | KatolaZ | namely |
19:27.42 | karl79 | um no definitely not about cooling |
19:27.48 | KatolaZ | it's just that your CPU get throttled |
19:27.50 | *** join/#devuan inhetep (inhetep@gateway/vpn/privateinternetaccess/inhetep) |
19:27.51 | buZz | totally sounds like it |
19:27.53 | karl79 | no |
19:27.57 | karl79 | its not the CPU being throttled! |
19:27.57 | buZz | yeah it does |
19:28.03 | KatolaZ | karl79: acpi -V |
19:28.05 | karl79 | that's not what's causing this... |
19:28.07 | KatolaZ | when it happens |
19:28.19 | karl79 | acpi command not found |
19:28.45 | karl79 | its not cooling I know that for sure |
19:28.54 | KatolaZ | apt-get install acpi |
19:28.55 | karl79 | these games are very lightweight too |
19:29.05 | buZz | emulation isnt lightweight |
19:29.06 | KatolaZ | karl79: no matter how "light" the game is |
19:29.08 | buZz | its cpu heavy |
19:29.12 | KatolaZ | emulation is heavy on the CPU |
19:29.18 | KatolaZ | full of active waits |
19:29.19 | karl79 | gameboy emulation isn't heavy... |
19:29.28 | buZz | -GBA- isnt GB |
19:29.29 | KatolaZ | to emulate the real speed of the thing you are emulating |

19:29.40 | karl79 | well I'm playing a GB game so... |
19:29.43 | KatolaZ | you asked a question |
19:29.45 | buZz | what cpu is in that netbook? |
19:29.47 | KatolaZ | I proposed an answer :) |
19:29.49 | buZz | GB is a Z80 |
19:29.53 | buZz | GBA is a ARM7TDMI |
19:29.54 | karl79 | its an intel N270 atom |
19:29.58 | buZz | wow |
19:29.59 | KatolaZ | when it happens, just |
19:30.01 | KatolaZ | acpi -V |
19:30.03 | karl79 | it used to work just fine |
19:30.08 | KatolaZ | and look at the temperature of your CPU |
19:30.15 | buZz | thats a -10- year old CPU |
19:30.15 | buZz | :D |
19:30.19 | buZz | the N270 |
19:30.26 | karl79 | So?? |
19:30.34 | KatolaZ | the age does not matter |
19:30.35 | buZz | just impressive :) |
19:30.38 | karl79 | the game emulators are from consoles from the 90s... |
19:30.49 | KatolaZ | karl79: game emulators work with active waits |
19:30.52 | karl79 | i used to be able to play these games just fine |
19:30.54 | KatolaZ | (most of them) |
19:31.02 | KatolaZ | ok |
19:31.12 | KatolaZ | my advice is: acpi -V |
19:31.16 | KatolaZ | stat from there |
19:31.19 | karl79 | I did that |
19:31.25 | KatolaZ | if the CPU is cool, then look for ghosts elsewhere |
19:31.26 | karl79 | one sec ill psot it to pastebin |
19:31.32 | karl79 | ghosts? |
19:31.38 | KatolaZ | (bugs) |
19:32.00 | karl79 | how could it be the CPU if i can exit the game and then re-open it and its fine? |

19:33.07 | buZz | 74 :O |
19:33.16 | buZz | is this during running the emulator? |
19:33.20 | karl79 | yes |
19:33.31 | buZz | imho thats very hot |
19:33.38 | buZz | did you clean the fans recently? |
19:33.38 | KatolaZ | it's quite hot |
19:33.38 | karl79 | it gets as high as 75 degrees |
19:33.44 | KatolaZ | not "very" |
19:33.45 | karl79 | yea its sitting on my bed right now |
19:33.53 | KatolaZ | bbl |
19:33.54 | KatolaZ | o/ |
19:33.55 | buZz | it wont ventilate on your bed |
19:33.58 | karl79 | its not the temp tho,i can exit it and re-open it |
19:34.06 | buZz | can you try it on a desk? :) |
19:34.08 | karl79 | yes |
19:34.11 | karl79 | and it still happens |
19:34.26 | buZz | still 75C? |
19:34.38 | karl79 | when I go to my doctors appts i sit it on this little desk and it still screws up |
19:34.47 | karl79 | no, it usually goes as high as 40 or 50 C |
19:35.02 | karl79 | its an intel ATOM netbook, they just heat up... that's how its always been |
19:35.31 | karl79 | i used to be able to play games just fine but now im not |
19:35.43 | karl79 | this thing is really clean so idk why it would do that... it doesnt even have a fan in it either. |
19:36.00 | buZz | and if you reinstall the software you ahd back then? |

20:05.51 | Leander | because it's ten years old and something is spoiled in the cooling mechanism, and the temperature of the CPU does not reflect the temperature of every other component |

20:35.41 | karl79 | FatPhil I don't think its just the software, because if it was just the software then why don't I get the exact same bugs on every other PC I have? |

20:36.43 | karl79 | I appreciate everyone trying to help.... I just don't know what else to do at this point... seems really hopeless.... I'm gonna give FreeBSD a try and see if the bug still happens on there or not, that way I can maybe narrow down what's wrong with it... |
20:37.37 | karl79 | kinda lame though, Devuan runs sooo nice on my netbook... it idles at like 140MB of RAM, everything runs so beautifully.. :( |

23:06.46 | gnarface | karl79: have you upgraded the kernel since this last started happening? maybe the default cpu frequency governor is no longer the high-performance one. maybe starting the emulator is enough to kick it into high gear then it lags when it settles into low power mode after a few minutes |
23:07.21 | gnarface | that's behavior that could change across upgrades |

23:10.10 | bill-auger | hello karl79 - yes my curiosity is spread thinly but broadly across terra freenodia |
23:10.29 | gnarface | (it would also seem casually like overheating throttling, until you realized the temperature goes down when it lags) |
23:11.12 | gnarface | or, down before it lags or something like that |
