00:00.26golinux<DocScrutinizer05> maybe time devuan gets its own (log)bot?
00:01.33DocScrutinizer05hm? not? yes? what?
00:01.38golinuxThat has been discussed at our meets.  Easy to talk about.  Not so easy to find someone who has the time to do it
00:01.51DocScrutinizer05indeed
00:02.28golinuxFeel free to take it on.  Read past meet notes to lnow what structure was being discussed

01:59.05DocScrutinizer05I think others already started on that
02:03.12golinux_Talk but no action afaik
02:03.49DocScrutinizer05somebody implemented a bot and we had it in here
02:04.05golinux_Just research and thinking (which is action without material results)
02:04.17DocScrutinizer05forgot the nick. Back when we discussed it should move to devuan infra long term
02:04.33DocScrutinizer05no
02:04.47DocScrutinizer05this was an actual bot which joined in here
02:04.48golinux_rrq is logging on his home server.  Not for general use.
02:05.25DocScrutinizer05everybody is loggiing on their own PC or server, for personal use
02:05.51golinux_And not a complete log,  Only started recently.  A few of us have access if needed.
02:05.52*** join/#devuan matlock (~matlock@71.92.46.112)
02:06.23golinux_I only log like 1500 lines.
02:06.45DocScrutinizer05got unlimited logging
02:07.15DocScrutinizer05anyway, tangential to the logbot topic
02:07.37golinuxWe need to have logs on our infra.
02:08.24*** join/#devuan hgunth (~hgunth@gateway/tor-sasl/hgunth)
02:08.36DocScrutinizer05there exist a few bots for that: supybot, eggdrop, whatnot else. All of which can log and prolly all have a way to share logs via appache to HTML
02:09.03DocScrutinizer05no need to invent the wheel again

02:19.45golinuxYou are the sound of one hand clapping.  I certainly cannot contribute to the effort in a meaningful way.
02:21.12DocScrutinizer05sorry, I won't go do the installation on devuan servers. If only since I got no access to do so. And no time for that either
02:22.03DocScrutinizer05I just can point you to a very simple way to get such logging installed and running
02:22.35DocScrutinizer05the rest is a job for your server sysops
02:22.58DocScrutinizer05I'm willing to configure the bot once it's installed

02:26.11golinuxBad timing Doc.  We're all exhausted from the release and kicking back a bit.
02:26.48DocScrutinizer05sure thing, I'm not pushing that, I just asked if you want to consider it, which it seems you already did
02:28.11golinuxI know you're trying to help but . . . is there an off button?
02:28.15DocScrutinizer05so my suggestion: once you feel like tackling this, look into apt-cache search supybot  and  prolly something along the line of https://mg.pov.lt/irclog2html/
02:28.38DocScrutinizer05fole closed :-)

08:37.11DiagonQuick question on ascii installer. I've prepared my disks, including one LUKS, using the live setup. Now I'm installing from the main installer disk. I'm dropping to a shell to open the luks disk, but can't find cryptsetup. Help?
08:38.57KatolaZDiagon: what is the main installer disk?
08:39.00KatolaZ(which one?)
08:39.24DiagonUhh.  I'm installing to a laptop.  Hold on, let me go to the web site....
08:40.27Diagondevuan_ascii_2.0.0-beta_amd64_DVD.iso
08:40.32DiagonThat's it.
08:40.52KatolaZoki
08:40.55KatolaZhold on
08:41.07KatolaZyou mean it does not install cryptsetup?
08:41.28DiagonWhen I drop to the shell, /sbin/cryptsetup is not present.
08:42.12DiagonWhen I run find / -name "*crypt*", I find scripts that use /sbin/cryptsetup, but it's not in the environment that the shell provides.
08:42.21KatolaZDiagon: you should use exzpert install
08:42.34KatolaZand select from there the additional d-i component
08:42.51DiagonThat's what I'm using.  Expert GUI.  Then I drop to shell when it's time to assign partitions to /boot, / and so on.
08:43.00DiagonI did select those components.
08:43.16DiagonBut still, I can't find cryptsetup in the envrionment provided in the shell.
08:43.17KatolaZoki
08:45.24*** join/#devuan bluemarlin (~bluemarli@unaffiliated/bluemarlin)
08:45.51KatolaZit's strange though
08:45.59DiagonYa.
08:46.29KatolaZit should be in one of the additional components
08:46.43DiagonI had proceeded to the GUI partitioner, and the option to set up encrypted disks is there, so I /know/ that some environment has acess to cryptsetup.
08:47.16DiagonBut when I returned and selected to drop to a shell (option at the bottom of the list), I couldn't find it.
08:47.27KatolaZit's cryptsetup-udeb
08:47.34DiagonI do find the .deb
08:47.38KatolaZnope
08:47.41KatolaZyou need the udeb
08:48.20*** join/#devuan matlock (~matlock@71-92-46-112.dhcp.athn.ga.charter.com)
08:48.42Diagonhm, well anyway there doesn't appear to be any way for me to install it.  I mean, no apt-get, no dpkg ...
08:48.43KatolaZand it should be among the available components
08:48.51KatolaZDiagon: ^^^^
08:48.59KatolaZwhen you are asked to install additional installer components
08:49.08KatolaZone of those should be cryptsetup
08:49.09*** join/#devuan cocoadaemon (~foo@2a01:e35:8a99:e90:1202:b5ff:fe91:e4ca)
08:49.44DiagonYes, as I say I chose those and indeed the partitioner provides the option to set up encrypted disks.  So I /know/ cryptsetup is present in some environment.  Just not the shell provided.
08:50.47KatolaZDiagon: it should be in the shell env
08:50.59KatolaZit would be strange to find it in /target
08:51.08KatolaZsince disks have not been mounted yet
08:52.06DiagonOk, now hold on.  The shell I'm looking at said that I would find the local disks at /target, but this shell doesn't have a /target directory!
08:52.42DiagonThat was my initial confusion.  /dev/sda is there, though, and that's the one that's luks encrypted.
08:53.08KatolaZDiagon: /target is where your / partition will be mounted
08:53.53DiagonOk, so you're saying at some point the disks will be mounted there, and it'll pivot into that, right?  But there's no /target, empty or otherwise.
08:54.18KatolaZDiagon: are you sure you have not chosen to shell out into /target?
08:54.36KatolaZeasy way to find out: you should not have a /var/log/syslog
08:54.51KatolaZ(well, you should, if you are in the d-i environment)
08:55.02DiagonI went down to the bottom of the list of options.  That is, I was at the point of partitioning disks, then I skipped and went to the bottom where the option to drop into a shell is.
08:55.40DiagonI have a /var/log/syslog
08:55.49KatolaZok then you are in the d-i env
08:56.04KatolaZ(if you cat /var/log/syslog you should see the d-i log)
08:56.08Diagon"syslog started: bysybox v1.22.1" ...
08:56.56Diagonok, should I search for ... what, "d-i"?
08:57.43DiagonI can't grep any cryptsetup in there.
09:01.50DiagonOk, I'm finding "retrieving crypto-dm-modules..." and "crypto-modules..." and "di-utils-mapdevfs" ...
09:02.02DiagonIs that what you were looking for?
09:02.24KatolaZyes but you need cryptsetup
09:02.32KatolaZand does not seem to be there
09:02.46KatolaZhold on
09:08.27*** join/#devuan matlock (~matlock@71-92-46-112.dhcp.athn.ga.charter.com)
09:10.21KatolaZDiagon: it seems that the cryptsetup udeb package is missing from stretch as well
09:11.40DiagonAh, I see.  Am I SOL?
09:12.09KatolaZoh
09:12.11KatolaZhold on
09:12.47KatolaZit uses partman-crypto apparently
09:14.08DiagonOk... I find partman-{auto,auto-raid,base,basicfilesystems,basicmethods,btrfs,efi,ext3,iscsi,jfs,md,partitioning,target,utils,xfs}
09:14.19*** join/#devuan jathan (~jathan@tmo-115-145.customers.d1-online.com)
09:14.21DiagonNo partman-crypto
09:14.37KatolaZyes
09:14.50KatolaZit's installed when you proceed to partition disk
09:15.18DiagonOoph.  So, it's only installed when I actually try to format a luks disk?
09:17.05Diagon(In my case, I'm just using the whole disk for luks.  I'm not creating any partition on the disk.)
09:17.05KatolaZseems so
09:17.23KatolaZbut it looks like partman should be able to manage already-configured LUKS volumes
09:18.02KatolaZbut I haven't used it though
09:18.03DiagonWell, when I tried to use it, it wanted to put a partition table on the disk, so I stopped.
09:18.46KatolaZmmmhhhh
09:19.04KatolaZit's strange though
09:19.11KatolaZthis should be something "standard"
09:19.50DiagonYa.....  Alright, if I have no other choice, it seems I can install from the live iso.  What are the differences?  I'm guessing I won't be able to use OpenRC.
09:20.05DiagonAnything else?
09:20.26KatolaZyou can install cryptsetup manually
09:20.42KatolaZDiagon: you can also setup openrc later if you want
09:21.08DiagonOh, how can I install cryptsetup manually?
09:21.14KatolaZin the d-i?
09:21.15DiagonIf I don't have a shell, then ...
09:21.18KatolaZyou have to wget the package
09:21.22KatolaZand then use anna-install
09:21.29KatolaZno Diagon
09:21.38KatolaZyou are not installing it in the /target
09:21.43KatolaZyou install it in the d-i env
09:21.50KatolaZ(d-i == debian-installer)
09:22.22DiagonOk, I guess I have to understand what anna-install is.  let me have a look.
09:22.31KatolaZDiagon: no need to understand that
09:22.32KatolaZ:)
09:22.41KatolaZit's a stripped-down version of dpkg
09:22.46KatolaZwhich can only install udebs
09:23.23DiagonOh.  So I drop out of this shell.  I go back where I selected the device mapper modules, and ...  then what?  Or am I making a new iso?  Sorry, I'm just not clear.
09:24.11KatolaZDiagon: stop, take a breath :)
09:24.20KatolaZfrom the shell
09:24.23DiagonOmmmmmmm.
09:24.28KatolaZyou can download packages
09:24.29Diagon:-)
09:24.30KatolaZusing wget
09:24.32KatolaZ:)
09:24.47DiagonAh.  (enlightenment!)
09:25.02KatolaZafter you have downloaded the needed udebs
09:25.10KatolaZyou can use anna-install to install them
09:25.16KatolaZnow this is not orthodox
09:25.24KatolaZand I guess it's not even needed
09:25.28KatolaZbut it should work
09:26.07Diagonalright.  how do I get the URL of the pkg?  (And why "not even needed"?  I mean ...  Is there another way?)
09:27.10DiagonActually, there's cryptsetup-udeb in /cdrom/pool/DEBIAN/main/c/cryptsetup
09:27.11KatolaZDiagon: look inside /var/log/syslog for wget lines
09:27.15KatolaZoh
09:27.18KatolaZthen just take it
09:27.21KatolaZand install it
09:27.24KatolaZwith anna-install
09:27.27Diagonso I just anna-install that ...  hold on.
09:27.33KatolaZI forgot you are using the dvd!
09:27.51KatolaZit might depend on the corresponding libcryptsetup udeb
09:27.58KatolaZanna-install is pretty dumb
09:28.32DiagonOk, so I maybe should install the lib first and then the cryptsetup.

09:29.43Diagonanna-install ./libcryptsetup4-udeb...udeb comes back with "unknown udeb ..."

09:33.22KatolaZDiagon: a udeb is just to be used by the installer
09:33.26KatolaZit cannot be uninstalled
09:33.38KatolaZand it's a pretty messy thing to deal with
09:34.31DiagonAnd if I install a .deb instead?  (http://lackof.org/taggart/hacking/d-i-tricks/)
09:34.47KatolaZDiagon: you can't install a deb in the d-i env
09:35.16DiagonOk, so why's anna uncooperative?

14:18.23Juestois there support for 2 in 1 bluetooth wlan cards ?
14:18.42djphlike the intel 7260s?
14:18.48Juestoand how do i tell X that a certain device that is detected as a mouse that its a touchscreen
14:19.19Juestoi have a hp pavilon x360
14:19.47djphtouchscreen, like a tablet / laptop screen?  X doesn't care (i mean, to the control systems, it's a mouse / touchpad)
14:19.54Juestoyes
14:20.19Wonkathe difference between relative and absolute pointing device might be relevant...
14:20.23Juestoah, how to configure that in xfce? gnome shell worked but it was hell slow
14:20.40Juestoit had a huge delay between switching touch and mouse
14:20.47Juestoeven opening the keyboard wtf
14:20.47djphwlan / bt -> most are, but it depends on the specific card.
14:21.01Juestoon screen keyboward*
14:21.22djphWonka: quite true, I hate fingerprints on my screen, so, well, I don't care if they're touch or not (they ain't gettin' touched)
14:21.33Juestodjph: the same card is providing bluetooth and wlan, thats what i meant
14:21.55Juestoand i couldnt find bluetooth support, only wlan with a closer relative
14:22.12djphJuesto: yes, I understood.  It depends on whether or not it's landfill-fodder (as is normal from most mfgs), or something halfway decent.
14:22.28Juestohmm, no idea about that =)
14:22.35djphwhat card is it?
14:23.02Juestodont remember, im on windows in that laptop atm, it has a old fedora installed
14:23.19djphwindows has a hardware manager too ...

14:24.52Juestonot much i can do then.... :(
14:25.50Juestoand anything about drivers?
14:26.01djphbecause HP puts a whitelist in their bioses.  "not our HP-branded firmware on a card -> ERR_HARD_STOP"
14:26.03Juestohey, bluetooth and wifi itself does okay actually
14:26.11Juestofake it then?
14:27.15Juestosigh... then i guess i'd have to wait for someone to make a driver out of it or something
14:28.57djphor hack the HP trash bios :D
14:29.20Juestocomplexness: bios > driver
14:29.22JuestoxD
14:29.26djphralink may provide *nix drivers, but they're ... fun ... to find

14:30.10Juestoactually not really sure about the bluetooth since it says mediatek on windows
14:30.53JuestoAha

14:32.30JuestoUgh, apparently mediatek removed it from their site
14:32.54Juestosigh
14:33.57Juestoim reading about ubuntu but i guess it should be the same thing on devuan/fedora?
14:41.57djph"maybe".
14:42.14djphDevuan is a fork of debian-proper.  Fedora is RedHat, who the hell knows
14:43.01Juestowell
14:43.06Juestoits still linux kernel :)
14:43.20Juestoand yes, fedora is a consumer red hat
14:43.30*** join/#devuan mcr (~mcr@ipv6.dooku.sandelman.ca)
14:44.20djphyeah, but "how it works" does change a bit (even between say deb <-> ubuntu), because of other things (e.g. gcc version, libc6, etc.)
14:45.17Juestoi know, the basics is still the same
14:45.22Juestobecause its linux and gnu tools
14:45.31muepwifi/bt HW support is mostly in the kernel which mostly is not affected by changes in userspace
14:45.58Juestousually its enabled
14:45.59djphmuep: until you have to compile them from source
14:46.33muepwell yeah, there the package names will vary
14:46.38Juestomuep: my card isnt on the standard firmware support
14:47.07muepJuesto: if it is just a case of lacking firmware, you don't need to compile a kernel
14:47.36muepif it is an unredistributable firmware, usually you'd need to just get the firmware file from something that has it
14:48.36Juestowell, the card is supported but barely, only wlan and not even the right  model
14:48.53Juestoactually not really into the details of all this tbh
14:50.26muepit does not sound like a firmware issue to me
14:50.33*** join/#devuan cocoadaemon (~foo@2a01:e35:8a99:e90:1202:b5ff:fe91:e4ca)
14:50.52muepbut if it works on fedora and not on devuan, you likely just need a more recent kernel
14:50.53Juestowhat would be the issue then?
14:50.59Juestoi mean it works but no bluetooth
14:51.13Juestoand not the right model either
14:51.13Juesto:p
14:51.23muepnot right model in what sense?
14:51.27Juestoi mean, it should work on devuan but im looking forward to have bluetooth working too
14:51.53Juestothat the driver used in fedora is the closest open source version not the exact one for its family or so
14:52.08Juestoand if it was the right driver i should be having bluetooth working
14:52.16muepthe driver name does not always match the device name
14:52.32Juestoi didnt try devuan yet
14:52.47Juestoi shall reboot to fedora and join #fedora i guess
14:53.15muepe.g. if a device vendor xyz has a chipset XYZ 112233 and then someone writes it a linux driver named xyz112233
14:53.44muepthen later a new similar device XYZ 112234 comes available and it is similar enough that the existing driver can drive it
14:53.50Juestoi'll reboot away and investigate there i guess
14:53.54*** join/#devuan AlexLikeRock (~AlexLikeR@unaffiliated/alexlikerock)
14:53.59muepthere likely would not be a separate zyx112234 driver
14:54.14Juestono support for 2-in-1 cards apparently
14:55.39muepI'd not necessarily generalize it like that based on one device
14:55.59muepit more sounds like this driver for your device is missing a feature or has a bug
14:56.37Juestoyeah i guess
14:57.50Juestoagain, i'll reboot to fedora and check

17:01.56Beerbelott(inspired by https://devuan.org/os/documentation/dev1fanboy/migrate-to-ascii)
17:02.19BeerbelottHowever it seems I encountered a difficulty:
17:02.19Beerbelott<PROTECTED>
17:02.19BeerbelottE: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

17:04.48BeerbelottI usually purge instead of remove, is it problematic for initramfs-tools?
17:05.17buZzi dont see any reason to use purge instead of remove, but should be ok
17:05.25buZzwhat is 'it' in your question? purge?
17:06.49Beerbelottyup
17:06.52KatolaZBeerbelott: what is the error you get, exactly?
17:07.15buZzthen yeh, should be fine to use
17:07.18KatolaZ(inspiration is not enough: that guide is meant to be followed quite literally, AFAICT)
17:07.22BeerbelottI'll do remove, however we are talking about remove initramfs-tools, which deletes kernels and warns about kernel modules which will also be removed, shall I proceed?
17:07.54KatolaZBeerbelott: please read above ^^^^^
17:08.26buZzyeah its ment as literal howto
17:08.29BeerbelottKatolaZ: THe only step I could not go through with was to remove the systemd package. Even if I was already using sysvinit for init, stuff like openssh-server had dependencies on systemd...
17:08.39KatolaZno Beerbelott
17:08.42KatolaZthat's impossible
17:08.50KatolaZthis means that you stiull have debian repos somewhere

17:15.59BeerbelottI finished the procedure now thus openssh-server does not rely on systemd anymore :)
17:16.19KatolaZno Beerbelott
17:16.22KatolaZI don't understand
17:16.30KatolaZopenssh-server does not depend on systems
17:16.33KatolaZsystemd
17:16.39KatolaZit Recommends: libpam-systemd
17:16.46BeerbelottRecommends: libpam-systemd, ncurses-term, xauth
17:16.47KatolaZwhich is provided by libpam-elogind in Devuan
17:16.53KatolaZnamely
17:17.05BeerbelottI told you that was for the openssh-server package from *Debian*
17:17.07KatolaZso if you remove systemd you won't remove libpam-systemd
17:17.21buZzKatolaZ: but he wasnt on devuan yet ;)
17:17.28KatolaZbuZz: doesn't matter
17:17.31buZzoh ok
17:17.35BeerbelottThe procedure tells to purge the systemd package *before* even configuring Devuan packages in the source (thus while still in Debian)
17:17.38buZzbeen ages since i touched a debian box
17:17.45KatolaZif you remove a package with apt-get you don't remove it's deps
17:17.57KatolaZunless you have autoremove enabled somewhere
17:18.05KatolaZBeerbelott: I got it
17:18.09buZzKatolaZ: not even remove apps depending on what you remove?
17:18.11KatolaZhave you read what I wrote above?
17:18.14BeerbelottI might have tested w/ aptitude
17:18.39Beerbelott(unsure now)
17:18.47KatolaZok Beerbelott
17:18.57KatolaZso you didn't follow the guide literally
17:19.09KatolaZit would be good to have a more detailed report of what you did, if you can
17:19.12BeerbelottWish me luck, procedure is finished, all seems well... It shall be the last time I see this: 4.9.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.88-1 (2018-04-29) x86_64 GNU/Linux
17:20.26BeerbelottKatolaZ: Once the dist-upgrade has been done and finished in error, I did sudo apt remove initramfs-tools-core
17:20.53KatolaZBeerbelott: the dist-upgrade comes after you remove systemd....
17:20.55KatolaZ:\
17:21.19BeerbelottIt removed initramfs-tools initramfs-tools-core linux-image-4.9.0-5-amd64 linux-image-4.9.0-6-amd64 linux-image-amd64
17:21.25BeerbelottWhich I then reinstalled
17:21.50buZzcoolio
17:22.02Beerbelottyou only need to specify initramfs-tools linus-image-amd64 linux-image-4.9.0-5-amd64 actually
17:22.16Beerbelottthe last one is needed if you wish to keep dual-kernel possibilities
17:22.18buZztotally possible debian is no longer in a state that matches the initial state of that howto
17:22.38buZzwhats a dual-kernel
17:22.44KatolaZbuZz: the howto was updated 5 days ago
17:22.56buZzKatolaZ: doesnt reduce chances to zero ;)
17:22.59BeerbelottI mean having with 49.0-5 & 4.9.0-6 entries in the boot loader
17:23.11buZzBeerbelott: why would you even want that?
17:23.11KatolaZif you remove systemd using apt-get, openssh-server does not get removed

17:51.29BeerbelottI was actually using aptitude
17:51.53BeerbelottIt warns openssh-server recommends libpam-systemd, but the package was not going to be installed
17:52.05KatolaZBeerbelott: this is what we said above :)
17:52.15KatolaZif you used apt-get it would have not complained
17:52.19Beerbelottthis 'leave the following dependencies unresolved' is a bit scary though, since I was working over SSH
17:52.33KatolaZBeerbelott: the guide says to use apt-get :)
17:53.02BeerbelottYup but I would have uninstalled libpam-systemd, systemd wasn't that problematic?

17:54.47KatolaZI am not saying that
17:54.58KatolaZit's just that aptitude and apt-get have different defaults
17:55.12KatolaZand the path that uses apt-get has been tested by many people
17:55.23BeerbelottYup I was using aptitude precisely for its overseeing capability )
17:55.29BeerbelottYup rgr that
17:55.33KatolaZ:)
17:55.41BeerbelottThe thing is on devuan boxes I merely use apt-get :D
17:55.45KatolaZhappy to hear that you are on board now :)
17:55.55Beerbelottbut on debian aptitude... don't ask why
17:56.04BeerbelottI was already on other machines
17:56.12BeerbelottBut this one was... important
17:57.14BeerbelottCan't wait to get my hands on an Ascii net-install :)
17:57.50buZzyou'd better start to use apt

17:59.22buZzyes, apt is its replacement
17:59.34KatolaZno, this is what the apt developers would like to happen
17:59.38BeerbelottThere are actions apt-get do apt can't if I recall right
17:59.47buZzBeerbelott: no, none
18:00.13buZzKatolaZ: i agree , without developers we would have never need to move to newer software
18:00.30buZzif they could just stop developing new stuff! geez
18:00.37KatolaZno I don't say that
18:00.39buZzpets the pdp8
18:00.44siceloi saw there are images for beaglebone black. is there an info page to show what is supported, etc.?
18:00.44KatolaZI am happy that apt is around
18:00.48KatolaZand that aptitude is there
18:01.00KatolaZsicelo: look at the README.txt
18:01.00buZzsicelo: should be similar support to any other distro for beagle
18:01.15buZzthat omap-alike is well supported
18:01.59KatolaZbuZz: having new software does not automatically mean that the "old" is bad and should be discarded
18:02.09KatolaZremember that both apt and apt-get depend on dpkg
18:02.16KatolaZthat is a "relic" from 1994
18:02.16buZzsure, its just progress
18:02.19buZzwho cares

18:02.26buZzwe could keep running 1994 software all we want
18:02.30KatolaZand has not changed much since then

18:03.27siceloapt-cache search has better output than apt search foo
18:04.07buZzapt-cache search doesnt even give you the versionnumbers
18:04.09KatolaZI am just sick of the "it's from 20 years ago, so it must be old, hence removed"
18:04.14KatolaZthis is why we have systemd around
18:04.16buZzor what repo its from
18:04.22KatolaZand a lot of crap
18:04.23buZzi never said remove ;)
18:04.26siceloi don't need version numbers when i search for packages
18:04.36KatolaZapt has good features
18:04.39buZzsicelo: not even when there's more than one?
18:04.42KatolaZand aptitude as well
18:05.04KatolaZbuZz: when there is more than one, apt-cache will show more than one
18:05.10sicelonot really .. when i'm searching, i want to know if there is a package for foo
18:05.33KatolaZanyway, my point is not that apt is good or bad

19:06.58DocScrutinizer05irrelevant I'd think. clear_console (the program that makes X11 crash) only is aimed at VTs aiui
19:07.28WonkaI didn't even know clear_console existed :)
19:07.37DocScrutinizer05neither
19:11.20DocScrutinizer05tl;dr: it cleared VT backscroll buffer by chvt() to another console and then back, and this doesn't work anymore with a "new" kernel patch that keeps scrollbuffers in this case. So they patched it to also do write( "\e[3J"). And now(? or even longer?) clear_console executed on VT2 crashes X11 on VT1
19:13.32*** part/#devuan Beerbelott (~Beer@2a01:e0a:6:8070:2141:d1fd:fa74:b23a)
19:26.21DocScrutinizer05my problem is: I still don't have access to de*an VTs, so I hardly can test anything
19:33.11DocScrutinizer05all I can do is testing a  for x in `seq 999 -1 1`; do echo $x; done; and state that _my_ console buffer incl visible screen is a 133 lines. Obviously this doesn't mean much for a proper generic solution to the problem of clearing backscroll buffer
