00:29.23DocScrutinizer05sorry, this is not really offtopic though it might sound like it was:  is there a possible link between logrotate and systemd that causes processes to get stopped and restarted when logrotate does its thing? Something that got introduced with systemd and wasn't there on initv + logrotate, like processes under systemd monitor reacting differntly to signals or whatever

02:00.12NewGnuGuybyzandula: hi there
02:05.38byzandulaapparently my upgrade to ASCII didn't fly so well.. looks like I still have a lot of old packages and now library dependency probs
02:05.40byzandula=/
02:14.36byzandulavery odd that it didn't auto-update packages like virsh-daemon and such.. finding if I update the packages manually it fixes things.
02:15.39NewGnuGuybyzandula: What were you upgrading from?
02:16.02byzandulaDevuan Jessie
02:16.53golinuxWhat repo are you using?
02:17.16byzandulapkgmaster.devuan.org
02:18.27golinuxOK.  Have a look at this page to make sure you've got everything. https://devuan.org/os/etc/apt/sources.list
02:18.58NewGnuGuyCould you post a copy of your /etc/apt/sources.list in a pastebin?
02:19.13byzandulacertainly

02:22.26byzandulahad to explicitly upgrade packages like asterisk, virsh-daemon, etc to get them to the ascii version it seems they didn't update on upgrade and were still looking for jessie libraries

02:23.19byzandulanow I'm stuck on trying to upgrade kernel
02:25.17byzandulahttps://pastebin.com/yHRrHgyg
02:25.26byzandulathose are my current woes
02:28.55NewGnuGuybyzandula: try running `dpkg --configure -a` as root
02:29.53byzandulano love similar errors
02:31.16NewGnuGuytry uninstalling udev
02:35.12byzandulaI think it uninstalled but still getting errors
02:36.00NewGnuGuy`apt-get remove udev`
02:36.07byzandulayeah that's what I did
02:37.08NewGnuGuyWhat does `apt list --installed | grep udev` return?

02:43.56golinuxHe is certainly sleeping now.
02:44.07NewGnuGuyhmmm :/
02:44.59byzandulano worries I appreciate the help
02:45.20byzandulaI'm going to see if I can keep chasing down the dependencies
02:46.05byzandulaupdate-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header
02:46.12byzandulawonder if that is causing some of the headache
02:51.31NewGnuGuygolinux: What timezone is gnu_srs in?
02:52.05golinuxI'm pretty sure CET
02:54.15byzandulainteresting..
02:54.18byzandulaapt-file search update-rc.d
02:54.24byzandulafile-rc: /usr/sbin/update-rc.d
02:54.51byzandulaif I try to do anything with that package it says it is missing or has been obsoleted
02:55.05byzandulaapt-get install file-rc
02:55.06byzandulafor example
02:55.25byzandulawonder if I should add jessie back in and try to install that package
03:00.34NewGnuGuybyzandula: On my system, the package responsible for the file /usr/sbin/update-rc.d is init-system-helpers
03:02.42byzandulainteresting
03:04.00byzandulathat is installed.. just did a dkpg-reconfigure on it
03:05.23furrywolfrandomly noses golinux
03:05.49NewGnuGuybyzandula: Have you tried running dpkg-reconfigure on eudev? Might be worthy
03:05.57NewGnuGuyworth a try
03:06.09NewGnuGuy*
03:06.20byzandula./usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: eudev is broken or not fully installed
03:06.37byzandulagoing to try to remove
03:06.41byzandulaand re-install
03:08.57byzandulawhich kernel should I be running? This is all due to trying to upgrade to 4
03:09.06byzandularight now I'm on SMP Debian 3.16.43-2+deb8u5
03:09.35NewGnuGuythe default ascii kernel is 4.9
03:09.43byzandulathat's what I thought
03:10.08byzandulaand eudev replaces udev?
03:10.19NewGnuGuyThat's the idea

03:15.25byzandulawrong window..sry
03:18.04NewGnuGuylooks like insserv is interfering with the install. unfortunately I know nothing about insserv
03:18.25byzandulainteresting
03:18.29byzandulaI may have found something
03:18.40byzandulaw00t
03:18.57NewGnuGuydo tell
03:19.09byzandulaso even after removal udev init script still resided in /etc/init.d
03:19.19byzandulaI did a dpkg --purge and it was still there!
03:19.27byzandulaI removed manually and was able to install eudev
03:20.12NewGnuGuyThat makes sense. Good find.

03:26.15byzandulathis calls for a scotch
03:26.38DocScrutinizer05hmmmm    /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: 226: /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: udevadm: not found
03:31.29golinuxHi furry
03:33.44DocScrutinizer05let me do wild guessing: in pre-install script it tries to shut down udev (by using udevadm) so it can get uninstalled safely, but since udevadm was already uninstalled, the pre-install bailed out with error and thus didn't manage to remove the old initscript
03:35.14NewGnuGuyDocScrutinizer05: Sound reasonable to me.
03:35.46DocScrutinizer05or it's even more trivial that a apt-get remove udev has been done but no purge, and maybe a purge after remove doesn't work anymore
03:35.47byzandulaLinux home01 4.9.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.88-1+deb9u1 (2018-05-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux
03:35.48NewGnuGuyKnow how we can fix it so that doesn't happen again?
03:35.51byzandulathat's a beautiful thing
03:36.54NewGnuGuybyzandula: nice!
03:38.58DocScrutinizer05how to fix: no clear idea since I'm not a packager, but I'd prolly try appending a ||: at end of the "udevadm control -e  ||:" or whatever the udevadm invokation in pre-install script
03:44.27golinuxNewGnuGuy: Has a task for tomorrow.
03:44.50NewGnuGuy??
03:45.22golinuxTo report this fix.
03:45.47golinuxOr is it a bug?
03:47.09NewGnuGuygnu_srs is the maintainer for eudev
03:48.57NewGnuGuyI'll make sure he is made aware of the issue.

05:43.41afdanakWhat's the difference between the cd, netinst, and dvd install images if I'm using a USB?
05:44.39gnarfacethe cd and dvd images are more designed for people who need to install without a network connection
05:45.09gnarfacethe netinst package, while capable of completing a booting system without a network connection, doesn't itself contain much more than that
05:45.58gnarfaceso if you have a supported network device and working connection you can probably get the install started quicker if you download the netinst package
05:46.00gnarface*image
05:46.46gnarfacethare aren't any other differences that can't be changed after you've completed the install, as long as you can get a working network connection at some point

20:06.49msiismapropos of nothing: spacefm devs have put out a maintenance release in early march (i just noticed yesterday). also, the maintainer of spacefm-ng was on the team for that.
20:07.08_abc_The new ascii rc, in the /title, is it different from what I downloaded about 2-3 weeks ago? How can I tell what I have?
20:08.12Juestohow do i configure clock to be compatible with Windows?
20:08.27_abc_Aha, you need my mini howto
20:08.28Juestois such hardware clock configuration global by chance?
20:08.39_abc_msiism: where it that forum message where you put the hwclock thing I wrote?
20:08.50_abc_Juesto: yes, just a second, I wrote about this, msiism has the link
20:09.03_abc_msiism: ??
20:09.15Juestoi did it on fedora but I'm not sure if it carries over
20:09.24_abc_It does not, there is a bug and a workaround
20:09.28Juestoah
20:09.35Juestoit's a per install setting
20:09.40msiism_abc_: give me a sec to get the link.
20:09.43_abc_We have to be patient, msiism put my writeup of the thing on a forum and I do not have the link
20:09.44NewGnuGuyJuesto: https://askubuntu.com/questions/232405/how-do-i-set-my-clock-in-windows-to-utc-localtime

20:10.07muepwell here https://superuser.com/questions/975717/does-windows-10-support-utc-as-bios-time#975764
20:10.09golinuxeeeewwwww Ubuntu
20:10.11_abc_NewGnuGuy: please never link to answers which may be systemd contaminated
20:10.19_abc_NewGnuGuy: this link is so, yours
20:10.32msiism_abc_: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=1953
20:10.37_abc_^ that is the link
20:10.39JuestoI've configured it on fedora correctly
20:10.42_abc_There are explanations at the bottom
20:10.53muepif you look at the answer, the instructions have nothing to do with systemd
20:11.08_abc_Juesto: fedora uses systemd. devuan does not. LAST TIME: NEVER REFERENCE A SYSTEMD RELATED HOWTO WHEN A DEVUAN HOWTO EXISTS FOR THAT ISSUE.
20:11.11muepit explains how you can stop windows from messing with the clock
20:11.18Juestough
20:11.31Juestoalright thanks
20:11.39_abc_muep: if you look at the forum message msiism linked you will see that this deals with the linux systemd side of things
20:12.13_abc_muep: windows is not "messing with the clock". It does what it always did, runs it on localtime.
20:12.14msiism_abc_: please never put systemd in caps in this channel :P
20:12.19_abc_AGREE
20:12.29muep_abc_: windows has an option to keep RTC in UTC time
20:12.59_abc_Note I am running my system as dual boot with windows and I have the clock set up exactly as in the howto in msiism's forum link, and it works perfectly in jessie and ascii
20:13.04_abc_devuan both of course
20:13.31NewGnuGuy_abc_: oh please, the instruction offered by my link merely show you how to fix Window's incorrect practice of setting the hwclock to localtime instead of UTC
20:13.37_abc_muep: yes but it is not standard and every reinstall / restore from media / rescue wipes that setting
20:13.51_abc_It is not an "incorrect practice"
20:14.04_abc_Every clock on this planet runs on localtime, excepting for special clocks.
20:14.07NewGnuGuyThe problem is on the Windows side, not the Devuan side
20:14.15_abc_The problem is what I said it is.
20:14.32msiism_abc_: about the howto you would like to write. you could simply put that into the "Documentation" section of the forum.
20:14.49msiismruns on utc (sort of)
20:14.57_abc_msiism: Looks like I and markdown are becoming better friends, something should come out of it
20:15.17muepimo it is a bad practice with difficult to understand handling for the RTC. at the option of having to change one of the two OSes to non-default handling, I choose to select the one where there is no discontinuity in RTC
20:15.21msiism_abc_: or, if you have a wiki account, you could put it on the wiki.
20:15.40msiism_abc_: anyway, a howto would be appreciated.
20:15.49_abc_muep: Please, everyone and their sisters, 90% of computer users for sure, use localtime on ALL their clocks, watches, microwaves, phones, whatever.
20:16.09muepI don't read my clock directly from the RTC
20:16.32koollman_abc_: that's displayed time, not stored time
20:16.37_abc_Nobody cares what one particular individual does. There is consensus that running local clocks on UTC is confusing.
20:16.44muepif RTC is local time, how can the OS actually read it right if the system is booted during the last hour of DST?
20:17.08koollmanthere's a pretty large consensus on unix timestamp, which is not local time :)
20:17.09muepor first hour of non-DST?
20:17.29_abc_the linux kernel figures out what the clock does and runs internally on utc
20:17.36_abc_it is explained exactly in my howto
20:17.44_abc_and yes dst must die in fire
20:17.54_abc_they almost voted it out this year, let's wait for another.
20:18.20muepif the RTC is at 2:30 AM, how does the OS know if that's 30 minutes before the transition from 3 AM to 2 AM or 30 minutes after it?
20:18.31muepthe other OS could have moved it already
20:18.36_abc_You should not reboot at critical times without due care.
20:19.19muepor you can use a setting where the RTC is always consistent and not get a weird corner case
20:19.40muepand at other times of year, this has absolutely no visible effect to the user
20:19.42_abc_If you are really worried about exact time, get a gps module for $28 and get exact utc all the time
20:19.46_abc_It is supported in the kernel
20:20.01Juestoaka getting a real hwclock
20:20.17_abc_What you do in your house is your own business, please don't tell 6 billion people what to do, they will NEVER listen.
20:20.22_abc_Juesto: yes
20:20.23Juestoanyway where do you tell windows to use utc
20:20.35_abc_Juesto: the howtos the others linked
20:20.41Juestooh ok

20:28.08_abc_And yes you will live interesting times. The mods foisted into the kernel by systemd are a threat to every aspect of the kernel. The thread linked in my howto (at the bottom of the howto, on debian forums), is worth reading for anyone who does not understand how bad the rot is already.
20:29.34muepmods foisted into kernel?
20:30.22_abc_As I wrote here, I identified another package in devuan ascii which refuses to work in a normal way. It is xoscope. It used to be able to use a sound card/mic input. Not anymore. The version shipped with ascii and in devuan ascii is compiled without sound card support since it does not work right under pulseaudio (systemd author related!), so they simply ship it disabled. I had to load alsa, alsa-oss compat
20:30.28_abc_dev libs, pull xoscope source from debian packages, and configure and build it, and it works as it used to!
20:30.34_abc_muep: did you read the thread linked in the forum message?

20:33.23msiism_abc_: could you maybe provide a normal-working package of xoscope for beowulf?
20:33.35muepI did not read that fully yet because it is quite long, but the initial impression is that there was just a mistake in how two programs avoid stepping on toes of each other
20:33.54_abc_Hm? It works fine if compiled after ./configure with alsa drivers and alsa oss compat dev package present
20:33.59_abc_xoscope msiism ^
20:34.11_abc_muep: which beowulf?
20:34.19msiism_abc_: ok, then i got that wrong.
20:34.34_abc_msiism: yes and they solved it in the "usual" way which is the cause for the need for my howto.
20:35.14_abc_msiism: you didn't, but the debian maintainers build the packages in the standard system, which is systemd contaminated. This results in improper oss support at xoscope ./configure time
20:35.31_abc_msiism: another sneaky way to shoot us in the foot. I am sure there are many other affected packages.
20:35.42_abc_Going to install audacity soon. We'll see.
20:35.48msiism_abc_: so it works with just alsa?
20:35.49_abc_And sox
20:36.16_abc_msiism: yes. The breakage results from ./configure in xoscope not finding proper oss support and compiling without sound card support
20:36.41_abc_msiism: iow, the binary shipped by debian and that's what you get in devuan is not able to work with oss, it needs recompiling from source
20:37.26_abc_rephrased #2: to be sure systemd contamination is as low as possible, rebuild all packages from source on a working *devuan* system.
20:37.41msiism_abc_: ok, so it's not a pulseaudio vs. alsa problem.
20:37.43_abc_Preferrably with other bug collections like pulseaudio also purged and replaced with things which work
20:37.48_abc_msiism: yes it is.
20:38.07_abc_msiism: the bad build was simply built on a standard system with pusleaudio on and alsa off
20:39.21_abc_the ./configure simply concluded there is no soundcard support and only built for COMEDI support
20:39.21_abc_Comedi is nice but that is beyond the point.
20:40.18_abc_I am sort of pissed that nobody writes these things up as they come.
20:40.25msiism_abc_: ok, so you had to rebuild from the src package to make it work.
20:40.36msiism_abc_: do you have a wiki account?
20:40.47_abc_yes, on devuan, after removing pulse and putting in alsa and oss alsa compat
20:40.49_abc_msiism: no

20:44.10_abc_yes, eventually. As I said, I'm becoming better friends with markdown, had a stressfull week and upgraded a laptop in between with Z partitions to move and check etc.
20:44.38msiism_abc_: eventually, there should be bug reports, if that's in any way possible.
20:44.41msiism_abc_: ok, i see.
20:45.41NewGnuGuyJuesto: What does `apt list wpasupplicant` return?
20:47.47NewGnuGuy_abc_ "feature-prone bug collection". Reminds me of Bluetooth, truly the systemd of wireless protocols
20:48.13_abc_Oh yes. I tried to get a headset going with devuan after install, not ok.
20:48.40_abc_Bluetooth is like unix. It has very good friends, who are few, and it's hard to enter the elite circle.
20:49.16JuestoNewGnuGuy: that it's installed
20:49.32msiism_abc_: i doubt that's a valid comparison.
20:50.17_abc_Hey this is like the old joke that it doesn't matter whom you know, what matters is, who knows you.
20:50.28_abc_I don't find that funny, having been bitten a few times like this.
20:51.24NewGnuGuy_abc_: The A2DP bluetooth profile in bluez 5 literally requires PulseAudio >:-O
20:52.32Juesto...
20:52.58NewGnuGuy_abc_: Bluetooth has no friends. It is a mutant abomination: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Bluetooth_profiles
20:53.02_abc_NewGnuGuy: yes but there are workarounds from third parties
20:53.19_abc_In alsa I mean
20:53.55msiismKatolaZ: about the missing translations in d-i. the only thing that is not translated in the standard install now, apart from some items in tasksel (which is ok), is the popcon dialog window content. i guess there are translations for that which could be copied from debian. so, this might be fixed easily.
20:54.26NewGnuGuyJuesto: There's more in the output of that command than just "wpasupplicant:installed". I want to see the rest, please
20:56.13_abc_NewGnuGuy: the painful part is, the same headset works on the android phone (linux!)
20:56.21_abc_I think android does not use pulse not sure.
20:56.48muepandroid does not use much of the typical GNU/Linux userspace
20:56.54Juesto<PROTECTED>

21:03.57Juestoi don't have a device yet I'm interested on the OS ;)
21:04.01Juesto:p
21:04.17Juestoi mean it's quite difficult to find one to buy
21:05.44Juestothere's no wpasupplicant service at all
21:05.47Juestoi couldn't find
21:05.58NewGnuGuyAre you using a integrated wireless adapter or an external usb one?
21:06.34Juestoit's a combo rt3290 wifi+bt NewGnuGuy
21:09.29Juestoi haven't had luck getting bt to work on linux
21:09.58msiismi've just installed ascii on a testing machine and now can't get my network to work. i'm on the cli with nothing installed from tasksel. i've already tried getting /etc/network/interfaces right, but had no luck so far.
21:10.09Juestoand the problem in leste is that wpa_supplicant isn't running nor is a initscript at all
21:10.29msiismthere's just 'lo' and 'eth0' in there, as far as interfaces go.
21:12.32msiismand for eth0 it says: allow-hotplug eth0, iface eth0 inet dhcp, iface eth0 inet6 auto (each on a line of its own).
21:12.52JuestoMaybe you missed a driver
21:12.53NewGnuGuyJuesto: According to https://h-node.org/wifi/view/en/1370/Ralink-corp--RT3290-Wireless-802-11n-1T-1R-PCIe/ that wireless adapter doesn't work with free software
21:13.02Juestooh well
21:13.05msiismok, justrelized i do not have dhcp-client installed.
21:13.55JuestoNewGnuGuy: ... i don't really care whatever its foss or not really
21:14.15Juestoi have a problem with wpa_supplicant
21:14.22Juestothe card is detected
21:15.18NewGnuGuyIs it detected by `ip addr`?
21:15.31Juestothe interface exists, NewGnuGuy
21:16.13NewGnuGuyThat's not what I asked. Is it detected by `ip addr`?
21:17.09Juesto-_-
21:17.17JuestoIs it really necessary?
21:17.27NewGnuGuyyes, it really is
21:17.43muepat the very least it should be in ip link
21:18.06NewGnuGuy^
21:18.57JuestoNewGnuGuy: the interface itself is available
21:19.29Juestoit's interface is down because no wifi connected
21:19.47Juestoand again, the issue is with wpa_supplicant
21:19.51Juestonot the hardware
21:21.52NewGnuGuyif the hardware requires non-free firmware to support encryption (which is true of some controllers) it could be the cause of issues with wpa_supplicant
21:22.34JuestoNewGnuGuy: how do i troubleshoot whatever wpa_supplicant is just plain not running or failing
21:24.52NewGnuGuyis wpa_supplicant or one of its binaries appearing in you process list (viewable with htop or ps) ?
21:26.05Juestono
21:26.58JuestoNewGnuGuy: no.
21:30.47NewGnuGuyWhen you try to run it, does it output any error? If so, could you post that on a pastebin?
21:36.12JuestoNewGnuGuy: wlan doesn't show up in ifconfig
21:36.21Juestowlan0*
21:36.55NewGnuGuyBut it does in `ip link`?
21:37.03Juestothe flags given for wlan0 is 4098
21:37.20Juestowhy it's detecting it as Ethernet?
21:37.41Juestoits driver is rt2800pci NewGnuGuy
21:39.54JuestoI'm installing the nonfree firmware package
21:40.35Juesto<PROTECTED>
21:40.50Juestodidn't exist
21:44.24_abc_wlan shows up only in ifconfig -a if it's not up normally
21:45.53Juestoyeah it shows up in that case
21:48.20KatolaZJuesto: it would be /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
21:51.15Juestoah
21:51.27Juestonot present either, KatolaZ
21:51.37KatolaZJuesto: what is the problem exactly?
21:51.51KatolaZ(sorry haven't read the backlog :( )
21:54.08JuestoKatolaZ: wpa_supplicant isn't working
21:54.29Juestoand thus anything trying to use it is failing
21:54.48KatolaZJuesto: define "not working", please
21:55.07KatolaZJuesto: I assume you know how to use wpa_supplicant from the command line
21:55.14KatolaZstop me if this is not the case
21:57.05Juestofixed, wpasupplicant is up, NewGnuGuy
21:57.17KatolaZcool Juesto :)
21:57.28Juestobut it's not running automatically KatolaZ
21:57.37KatolaZwhy should it?
21:58.30Juestoi don't know, I'm on maemo leste
21:58.54Juestothere's no initscript for wpa supplicant from what I've seen
21:59.11KatolaZyou don't need one
21:59.13KatolaZ:)
21:59.25KatolaZif you want wpa_supplicant to be run automatically
21:59.29KatolaZyou should add

21:59.50KatolaZto your /etc/network/interfaces
22:01.34KatolaZ(well, in the section of your wlan device, obviously)
22:02.07fsmithred_abc_, what file did refractainstaller leave in your home? (should be the error log)
22:04.38_abc_That's it.
22:04.48Juestowhy many configuration stuff missing
22:04.53Juestoi don't get it
22:04.56_abc_Does that mean that it errored out or is that done anyway fsmithred
22:05.58KatolaZJuesto: ?
22:06.24Juestodone, wlan0 was commented in interfaces
22:06.52KatolaZJuesto: did you configure and use wlan at install time?
22:07.06fsmithredno, it always puts it there
22:07.08JuestoKatolaZ: it's maemo leste vm image
22:07.35fsmithredunless it crashes before the script is finished. Copying the log from /var/log to the user's home is the last thing it does.
22:07.56KatolaZJuesto: so how should it know that you want to use wlan?

22:09.02fsmithred_abc_, if you have ideas about the installer, pm me so we don't disturb the others. I'm definitely interested in any problems that anyone has with it.
22:09.41Juestohow do i start the system without being forced to wait for dhcp
22:09.59fsmithredctrl-c?
22:10.28_abc_fsmithred: okay. So, again, is it normal to have the script log in $HOME on success? I interrupted the process 2-3 times for reasons until I went to the end.
22:10.28Juestothat isn't good it aborts the entire processing i think, fsmithred
22:10.51KatolaZno Juesto it doesn't
22:10.55fsmithredyes, Juesto it stops it from trying to get an address and continues booting
22:11.20fsmithred_abc_, yeah, the log should get copied there normally
22:11.35_abc_fsmithred: the most important points here and now, wrt refracta in ascii on devuan desktop live: a) make sure package grub2 is installed b) add some blurb page/screen on commands to install grub2 from the chrooted cli, I missed that twice until the coin dropped.
22:11.59fsmithredthat's the more difficult way to do it
22:12.07_abc_The warning is confusing, it should say "you need to issue commands in the cli to install grub2 else there will be no boot loader"
22:12.13fsmithredif you use a devuan or refracta live iso...
22:12.16Juestofsmithred: but there's more stuff to execute after eth0 dhcp attempt
22:12.18fsmithredyou don['t need to issue commands
22:12.30_abc_fsmithred: desktop live is different?
22:12.54fsmithredJuesto, I've done it many times - when the DHCPDISCOVER message keeps coming up, ctrl-c will stop it from trying to get an address, and the boot will continue
22:12.55_abc_fsmithred: anyway: I installed from a live system as above with persistence, i.e. there was a LOT more on it than on the iso image
22:12.59fsmithredyou can get the address later
22:13.01_abc_And it worked fine
22:13.20Juestofsmithred: openrc reports a sighup on it
22:13.22fsmithredyeah, the installer uses rsync to copy the running system
22:13.34fsmithredoh, I never tried it with openrc. sorry.
22:13.48Juestocommenting the dhcp stuff did make boot faster
22:13.48_abc_fsmithred: It was a little over-enthusiastic, I kept some large backups on the persistence media and it tried to copy those in too.
22:14.02fsmithredyes, that's what it would do
22:14.13fsmithredyou can edit the rsync excludes file for that
22:15.21fsmithredhang on, my brain needs to sync
22:15.29fsmithredabout grub
22:15.40fsmithredif you boot in uefi, the correct grub is already installed
22:16.00fsmithredif you boot bios, the installer will recognize that and look for grub-pc deb
22:16.24fsmithredin devuan desktop-live and refracta isos, the grub pc deb is in the root (/)
22:16.39fsmithredand there will be a button that says 'Copy files'
22:17.05fsmithredselect that, and grub-pc will be installed. debconf will ask you where you want the bootloader (in the terminal)
22:17.27*** join/#devuan gattuso (~gattuso@pompel.me)
22:17.42fsmithredif the deb is not there, it will cause an error (fixed in next version)
22:18.44Juestoapparently disabling the dhcp line invalidates the interface
22:18.55Juestoifup says unknown interface eth0
22:19.21KatolaZJuesto: ifconfig eth0 up
22:21.31JuestoKatolaZ: it goes down afterwards because it's not plugged
22:21.33Juestoso
22:21.39Juestowell there it goes
22:22.18Juestouninstalled firmware-misc-nonfree
22:23.56Juestogreat now
22:24.03Juestonow it's not as annoying
22:25.36JuestoI've ignored the dhcp line because it's not necessary because it's usually unplugged
22:25.52Juestoand I've made the wifi go before ethernet
22:26.25KatolaZJuesto: you should have it "allow-hotplut eth0" maybe
22:26.35KatolaZ~allow-hotplug
22:26.37Juestohmm maybe
22:26.42fsmithredor just use 'dhclient eth0' when you want to use it
22:27.06Juestoyeah that too
22:27.17Juestousing the hotplug one sounds better
22:27.26Juestoalong with ignoring dhcp
22:27.55Juestoalso, /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf is the default
22:28.06Juestowpa_supplicant itself says in the example
22:28.19KatolaZJuesto: not in Devuan/Debian
22:28.22Juestoand it's the file it tries when not using parameters
22:28.30JuestoOh well
22:28.34KatolaZthe default is in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
22:29.43Juestowhat i should do?
22:29.56Juestobut it conplains when the config file doesn't exist
22:30.07Juestowhich seems to be the case by default?
22:30.08KatolaZJuesto: how are you starting it?
22:30.50KatolaZif you included the wpa_conf parameter in /etc/network/interfaces, it will use the conf file you specified
22:30.58Juestoand if not?
22:31.01Juestoit's not used?
22:31.13KatolaZuh?
22:31.24KatolaZwhat is not used?
22:31.34Juestowhat happens if the config line is omitted
22:31.43Juestowpa_conf parameter
22:32.01KatolaZthat wpa_supplicant is not run automatically when the interface comes up

23:43.12JuestoDoNut: check in lspci, etc
23:45.51gnarfaceDoNut: i think the answer to both those issues comes down to kernel configuration, however i can't be certain raspbian
23:46.09gnarface... can't be certain raspbian's firmware will work with other kernel versions
23:46.21gnarfaceit may even require an accompanying kernel patch
23:46.50gnarfacei'm not sure about that, but i think other people *have* got these working with Devuan
23:47.59DoNutIt's something simple I am overlooking, I am sure.
