02:13.52AcaciaOh. I assumed changing the init system wasn't that easy
02:20.15gnarfacewell it's a lot less easy if the init system is systemd.  that's why this distro exists.  i can't claim i've tried switching to openrc myself though.  you might still have to take an extra step.
02:20.40gnarfaceit really MIGHT be that easy though

02:50.51gnarfaceAcacia: yea, swapping an init system shouldn't cripple the whole system.  that was a new feature of systemd.  previously, everything was designed to play nice together.
02:51.41gnarfaceit didn't always work, mind you, but that is still lightyears away from what systemd does
02:51.49gnarfaceon purpose
02:55.31xrogaanFirefox 60 ESR is way faster than the crap that is available by default. I don't understand how people can stand 52 ESR.
02:57.31furrywolfdoes 60 ESR work with all my old extensions, my non-signed extensions, and my working audio setup?
03:00.24xrogaanI don't know, but it loads webpages properly.
03:01.44furrywolfmany of my extensions modify webpages to be closer to my idea of proper.  :P
03:02.09xrogaanmy idea of proper is equal or less than 1 second.
03:02.12furrywolfand I absolutely will not, under any circumstances, use a browser that requires signed extensions.  this is pure evil of microsoft levels.

03:03.25xrogaanwell, we don't get a lot of choices. From what I understand we can only chose between the dark ages, chromium or firefox.
03:03.38furrywolfit is absolutely not OK for any company to appoint themselves arbiter of what other software you're allowed to use.
03:03.55furrywolfimagine what would happen if microsoft decided you were only allowed to run microsoft-signed applications on windows.
03:04.07xrogaanaren't they already doing that?
03:04.19furrywolfit's no better for mozilla to decide you're only allowed to run microsoft-signed extensions on firefox.
03:04.38furrywolflast I checked, you could still download any random binary from anywhere, or compile your own, and run it.
03:04.59xrogaanoh sure, until it get binned because it's not an allowed software.
03:05.04furrywolfs/microsoft-signed/mozilla-signed
03:06.38furrywolfsoftware signing is morally wrong, and should not be tolerated.
03:07.01xrogaanIt's not though.
03:07.15xrogaanNot with how we use softwares nowadays.
03:07.43xrogaanand by we, I'm talking about the general public who doesn't give a damn about the difference between a binary and google.
03:08.24furrywolfyou consider it acceptable that a corporation decides what software you're allowed to run?
03:09.17xrogaanWhat software is allowed on to run on their services ('cause windows is now a service).
03:09.40xrogaanmozilla corp. isn't better, I agree with that.

03:13.26mrohis it possible to dist-upgrade from sid to ceres?
03:13.35gnarfaceprobably
03:13.43gnarfaceworked for me about a year ago, anyway
03:13.56gnarfacehad to manually pitch a few packages overboard i think but i got it working
03:14.14mrohok, thx
03:14.19gnarfaceit's important to note that was *before* i'd migrated sid to systemd though, ymmv
03:14.46gnarfacei did the upgrade to ceres instead
03:15.48xrogaanare ceres updates in a "rolling distro" style?
03:16.02mrohi wonder what would be the difference from ceres to sid, if i only change policy-lit in sid
03:16.16mrohpolicykit
03:17.02gnarfacexrogaan: i'd been repeatedly told in no uncertain terms in #debian "no" but i still don't see any meaningful distinction
03:18.26xrogaanmaybe they don't want to be seen as hippies :P
03:19.10gnarfaceit is basically like a rolling distro except every few years they peel a new "testing" off it
03:19.32golinuxxrogaan: ceres is sid
03:19.36gnarfaceso occasionally it's in lockstep with testing, and occasionally testing might get a fix earlier, or unstable might get a change that gets later removed
03:20.20gnarfacethe rest of the time, if it's not in sid/ceres it's usually because it won't build
03:20.53gnarface(or is cripplingly unstable - but don't expect them to always restrain themselves from putting broken things in there on purpose)
03:21.11gnarface(stuff in non-free seems to be worse in that regard)
03:21.22gnarfacethat's all anecdotal though
03:21.26gnarfaceymmv
03:24.35mrohi use sid since my first debian release, must be woody or something... so unstable has been pretty stable for me ^^
03:26.06gnarfacewell it gave me more reliability than Gentoo
03:26.11gnarfacethat's not saying much though

03:34.52mrohor is there more than this?
03:36.12gnarfacei don't know really.  i'm running ceres without udisks2 OR polkit
03:36.35gnarfacethere's probably not much more than that
03:37.12gnarfaceceres might use eudev instead of udev by default now
03:37.16gnarfacenot sure about that

03:59.34muep_##networking
04:04.45TheBlueWizardthanks
04:15.19golinuxMight be infested with systemd advice though
04:16.11TheBlueWizardin ##networking channel? well, I got no response so far
04:18.33muep_there isn't much about systemd to discuss there
04:19.20golinuxI thought systemd has tentacles in everything
04:19.51muep_it is not a "how do I configure my OS" channel
04:24.02TheBlueWizardgives up on ##networking
04:26.25TheBlueWizardmy understanding of systemd is that it is more of behind the scene thing...you won't see its actions directly. And my networking question revolves around how to set the network properties so that Win box can see Linux box and vice versa (IP only; don't care about DNS)
04:27.43TheBlueWizardmy goal is to be able to transfer files between two boxes...preferably via web server...copy onto Win box

04:39.50furrywolfdoes NFS ever work?  :)
04:40.35furrywolfI think the best option for communicating with windows is samba, but I haven't done anything with windows in a great many years, so that may be outdated.
04:46.36furrywolfbbl, wolfy bedtime
05:04.37gnarfacei mean, if all you need to do is copy a file across a LAN with assumed perimeter security you can just use netcat
05:05.07gnarfacethat should be the default case unless you're running software firewalls on the hosts themselves

06:36.18dethaFor the record, ##networking is mostly neutral on systemd, except for the odd 'oh, that thing getting in the way of sanity again'. But it is rather quiet there this early/late, and mentioning windows will immediately lose you interest from about half of the channel.
06:37.47gnarfacefor linux-specific networking i think you want to try #netfilter maybe?
06:38.01gnarfacesomething like that
06:38.24dethaI always forget about ##netfilter, but yes. More firewall-specific though

09:33.30PiHomeServerHi all. I search for help about how to build a custom ISO for a Raspberry. I found the repo but i would like to know how to use it
09:34.09gnarfaceyou know there's a raspberry pi images already, right?
09:34.35gnarfaceit would be a lot easier to start with one of those, customize it, then make a copy of the SD card
09:35.14PiHomeServerOk. Is it safe to do this way in case of certificates or ssh keys generated on the first boot ?
09:36.01fsmithreddo you want to share the image with other people?
09:36.08gnarfacei'm not sure there are any such keys in the RPI images
09:36.19fsmithredssh server?
09:36.31gnarfaceobviously if you're gonna put some in there then redistribute the ISO... yea, you'll want to make sure not to leave your private keys in there...
09:36.32PiHomeServerYep. I use the basic ISO, then install scripts, tools, custom website, etc. and then share with the community
09:37.13PiHomeServerI can clear history and logs before cloning the SD card but not sure if that's safe enought
09:37.13fsmithredgood idea to remove the ssh host keys, so everyone doesn't have the same ones. (Don't ask me how I know this)
09:40.39fsmithredPiHomeServer, you looked at this page? https://git.devuan.org/sdk/arm-sdk
09:41.53*** join/#devuan AntoFox (~Thunderbi@dynamic-adsl-78-12-50-92.clienti.tiscali.it)
09:41.58PiHomeServerYes i did. But i'm not expert enought to understand what i can do with it
09:42.22PiHomeServerI create a VM with Devuan x64. Then installed all. Not sure what to do next as i can't find the init.sh script
09:42.45PiHomeServerOr do i have to install that on a Raspberry itself ?
09:43.37fsmithredI think you can't use x64. Isn't it arm?
09:44.22PiHomeServerI was naive to think that i could use a x64 with cross compile tools to generate the ARMv7 ISO :)
09:44.40gnarface<PROTECTED>
09:44.51gnarfacebut you will have to enable multi-arch first, which i note that arm-sdk page fails to mention
09:45.06gnarface(but it should be implied by the inclusion of 'qemu-user-static' in the required package list)
09:45.54gnarface(also, that's the 32-bit one so this will only work for rpi 1 and rpi 2 unless you change arches and a couple of those packages)
09:46.23gnarfaceit WILL work on ceres and it SHOULD work on ascii but it will not on jessie
09:46.42gnarfaceregardless i wouldn't do it in your base install; do it from a chroot.  adding a bunch of arm multiarch stuff to your amd64 system is gonna make a mess.
09:47.25gnarfacei think if you were doing this on the pi itself you just omit qemu-user-static?
09:47.37PiHomeServerOk so i have to learn how to do that with "chroot".
09:48.09PiHomeServerI did nothing on the Pi. I wanted to test in a VM on my Mac
09:48.36gnarfaceeither way, even if you do this, it won't change the fact that you'll still have to figure out which packages generate secret keys automatically so you can make sure to exclude them from your cloned ISOs
09:48.54gnarfaceso it really may be a better idea to just start with a pre-built raspbian devuan image
09:49.45PiHomeServerOk i will start from that ! Thanks
09:50.09gnarfaceno problem
09:50.50PiHomeServerAny advice, how once the build is made, how to create an iso avoiding unused space ? Meaning my soft will use less than 1gb, if i use a 8gb card, i will have unused space and no one will be able to install on a 4Gb card

09:53.21gnarfaceyes, nothing will write data outside the partitioned space
09:53.49mpmcHey folks, I have a chip here & I'd like to install devuan, Can I just download the image & flash it like the vendor supplied images (chip flasher)?
09:54.44djphmpmc: what "chip"?
09:55.03mpmcCHIP (R8)
09:55.12fsmithredwhat is a chip?
09:55.34PiHomeServerOk so before install i resize the partition to the expected size (let say 1.5Gb), i install all, then do a dd with a limit of 1.5Gb + FAT32 partion sized

09:58.42PiHomeServer@gnarface : i mean the boot partition of the Raspberry Pi that is located on the first partition of 100Mb that is FAT32
09:58.44PiHomeServeryes
09:59.11gnarfaceyea i think the boot partition isn't right at the first part of the disk.  there's a small bit of extra space there before it
09:59.34PiHomeServerCorrect
09:59.41gnarfaceif you overshoot by a couple MB it's no big deal though
10:00.07PiHomeServerYes. I will add a way to auto extand the ext4 partition on first boot.

10:15.55fsmithredhi
10:15.59_abc_hi
10:16.06fsmithredman live-boot for nofastboot
10:16.28_abc_So, re: live-boot, I took it apart manually, tried nofastboot too, that addresses fsck at boot time, not clean shutdown imo
10:17.09_abc_There should be a stanza in the shutdown script which remounts the unionfs ro and then remounts the persistence media ro before shutdown
10:17.21_abc_just before. Based on 'persistence' present in /proc/cmdline.
10:17.26_abc_Your thoughts on this?
10:17.49fsmithredI don't know. Never thought about what happens on shutdown
10:18.03_abc_That's when things get messed up
10:18.15_abc_Where is nofastboot interpreted, in which script?
10:18.20fsmithredit doesn't just sync and unmount?
10:18.30fsmithredhang on
10:19.34_abc_fsck on /dev/sdb1 the fat partition in a r2u made volume shows 'There are differences between boot sector and its backup.
10:19.37_abc_This is mostly harmless. Differences: (offset:original/backup)
10:19.38fsmithredwow, it's not there
10:19.45_abc_What is not there?
10:20.12fsmithrednofastboot is not in any files in /lib/live/boot (or /config)
10:20.26_abc_fsmithred: in a r2u fat partition, one can change the iso in it by simply copy, right?
10:20.31_abc_fsmithred: I noticed
10:20.45_abc_fsmithred: I also tried /etc/init.d/* but that is not relevant, it is "too late"
10:21.08fsmithredyou mean where you're using the findiso option?
10:22.14_abc_yes
10:22.33fsmithredif using findiso, you can't just change the iso file - kernel and initrd get pulled out and copied outside the iso.
10:22.35_abc_Assuming I remaster the iso and put it on the stick, I assume all I need to do is copy it in? Or is there another step
10:22.41fsmithredthose would need to work with the new iso
10:22.48_abc_Oh okay assume I fix that too. Or that they are the same
10:22.56fsmithredshould work
10:23.01_abc_I notcied the 32MB initrd only contains 26k of firmware at present.
10:23.05_abc_Is that normal?
10:23.12_abc_*noticed
10:23.18fsmithreddon't know
10:23.29fsmithredis something missing that you need?
10:23.30_abc_Because initrd is the place where one can put the needed scripts for what I intend to do without remastering
10:23.47_abc_fsmithred: well there's nothing in there, no initrc for example
10:23.49_abc_no shell, nothing
10:24.17_abc_So the initrd gets loaded before the squashfs and there I can implement the fsck but I'd like to hook it into the shutdown too
10:24.27_abc_Assuming I do this by hand: how does this sound:
10:24.42_abc_in shutdown script: - check if 'persistence' in /proc/cmdline
10:25.17_abc_- if yes: remount unionfs ro after shutting all loggers?; remount media on which persistence is ro; then continue shutdown as usual?
10:25.51_abc_There should be a late-copy-system-to-ram for this umounting to go cleanly but that is not yet possible and would take a long time
10:26.45_abc_?
10:27.00fsmithredis that what normally happens on shutdown of a non-live system?
10:28.53_abc_non-live shutdown remounts all ro just before end
10:29.13_abc_I assume it fails / does not account for the "funny" mount represented by the unionfs/overlay
10:29.40_abc_Does this make sense?
10:29.48fsmithredthere may be discussions about this in debian-live mailing list archives
10:30.12_abc_I would not know about that, asking you as resident expert.

10:34.46fsmithredoh, is that in the initrd?
10:35.07_abc_It is on debian, apparently, not on devuan
10:35.18_abc_Basically the present devuan initrd is empty apart from firmware for cpu

10:36.20fsmithredyeah, I've run into that

10:36.45KatolaZAFAIK
10:36.46_abc_So would you agree that putting some "more" stuff into the initrd.img might fix it
10:36.55KatolaZ_abc_: ^^^
10:37.05_abc_KatolaZ: I checked both, the syslinux one is copied out of the squashfs by r2u
10:37.12fsmithredI think the rest of the initrd is wrapped up inside the blob
10:37.13_abc_KatolaZ: they are identical, I checked
10:37.21_abc_What blob?
10:37.26fsmithredintel bullshit
10:37.34_abc_It' too small. 26k

11:55.03_abc_fsmithred: so the verify-checksums is a cruft which mounts all relevant things, checksums, and umounts them ! so they can be mounted again !
11:55.25fsmithredthat sounds weird
11:55.47_abc_Verify_checksums is called only once from 9990-main.sh
11:56.16_abc_This part of the boot system is so crufty it's a miracle it works at all
11:56.30_abc_imo
11:57.14_abc_fsmithred: if the live boot scripts run from the initrd, then they do not run again from the uncompressed squashfs right?
11:57.17_abc_hopes
11:57.23_abc_This is really really crufty
11:57.42fsmithredI assume that's the case
11:59.02fsmithredup through wheezy, the fat32 was always mounted ro. Starting with jessie, if you use persistence, root can write to the fat32 partition.
11:59.10_abc_so, again, to pack/unpack an initrd, one uses the standard format for this, or did that change too?
11:59.22_abc_cpio ... |gzip ?
11:59.30fsmithreddon't actually need a persistent volume, just the word persistence in cmdline
11:59.31fsmithredyes,
11:59.46fsmithredI do it the other way
11:59.57fsmithredzcat initrd.img | cpio -i
12:00.34_abc_but this has to be the special gzip -9 thing no?
12:01.06fsmithreddon't know. I don't do anything special
12:02.46_abc_I meant to make a new initrd
12:03.21_abc_find . | cpio -o -c | gzip -9 > /boot/test.img
12:03.36fsmithredfind . -print0 | cpio -0 -H newc -o | gzip -c > ../${custom_initrd}.gz
12:04.18fsmithredthat's right out of r2u - part of patch-initrd
12:04.26_abc_ok
12:04.40fsmithredwhich patches the initrd to allow user rw access to fat32 partition
12:05.40_abc_I don't follow, are you saying that the r2u initrd made under ascii should mount the fat32 rw now, or is that in future versions?
12:06.24fsmithredI'm saying live-boot/live-config will mount the fat32 rw if the word persistence is in the boot command.
12:06.28fsmithredstarting with jessie.
12:06.46_abc_that's not the case here in ascii.
12:06.54_abc_I'll try again but last time I looked, it was ro
12:07.17_abc_Maybe it's essential for the initrd to be fully populated as is now, after removing the intel fw package
12:07.35_abc_I looked inside that and the install script seems to mess with the initrd on the system in ways which are not okay
12:07.43_abc_I assume it's a bug in that particular package version
12:11.34fsmithredyeah, in ascii it's rw with 'persistence'
12:12.15_abc_But only with the non intel microcode mangled initrd
12:13.01_abc_Which must be removed as you said
12:14.08fsmithredyup

19:02.46muep_with xfce you can use most of the tools that you could use in all the other environments
19:03.09msiismfilipdevuan: you should have a look at the 'lspci' command
19:03.11filipdevuanwell to be honest i like xfce cuz its pretty straightforward but i think my favourite environment is gnome

19:04.25filipdevuannvidia corporation device 179c (rev a2) what 179c and rev a2 means?

19:07.28filipdevuanwould it show in lspci that i use nouveau drivers then. i think i could have messed up my configuration a bit with installing nvidia drivers from synaptic

19:38.24filipdevuanokay cheers <3
19:38.41sixwheeledbeast^systemd makes little difference to learning your way round basic unix, at the moment anyway.
19:38.55msiismfilipdevuan: well, maybe one thing you should know that you're command line interpreter ("shell") is called bash (if you didn't change that).
19:39.22filipdevuanwhats dpkg??
19:39.33msiismfilipdevuan: you can find out through "man dpkg"
19:39.47filipdevuanoh thats clever
19:39.50msiism"man <command>" will give you the manual page
19:39.59filipdevuani didnt know about that!! :D
19:40.12msiismfilipdevuan: well, KatolaZ was try to say that, but ok.
19:40.18msiisms/try/trying
19:40.28filipdevuanyeah sorry
19:40.45msiismno problem
19:41.36filipdevuanwhat command did i use to see my hardware configuration??
19:41.41msiismfilipdevuan: and don't worry if you don't really understand the contents of manual pages. they are often quite tehcnical in nature.
19:41.52msiismfilipdevuan: you can find that in the command line history
19:42.08msiismat the command promt hit cursor up a few times.
19:42.25KatolaZfilipdevuan: apropos hardware
19:42.27filipdevuanoh this is another clever thing, thanks lol!! are you a developer??
19:42.29filipdevuanhdinfo ;D
19:42.40filipdevuanoh no this one doesnt work
19:42.47msiismfilipdevuan: no, i was just bored one time.
19:43.32AntoFoxmsiism: as soon as I can :)
19:43.33filipdevuanfor some reason it doesnt show the command i used for hardware configuration the one wth |short
19:43.45msiismAntoFox: thank you!
19:44.10msiismfilipdevuan: that may be because you used to many command after that for it to remember.
19:44.21filipdevuanyeah
19:44.23msiismfilipdevuan: bash's history is limited.
19:44.37filipdevuanno i have commands that i used before this one
19:44.48filipdevuanmaybe its because i run this command under root
19:44.59filipdevuanand it wont show me commands i used from root when im not root
19:45.00filipdevuan??
19:45.18KatolaZyes filipdevuan
19:45.20filipdevuanyeah that was right
19:45.23KatolaZcommand history is per-user
19:45.50filipdevuanby the way is there any possibility to get rid of bios and install librem instead??
19:46.10msiismfilipdevuan: is there a problem withyour bios?
19:46.30filipdevuanno, no there isn't. whats oemstring1 oemstring2 oemstring3 what does it mean??

19:48.41KatolaZfilipdevuan: I would suggest one step at a time
19:49.05filipdevuanthe weird stuff about my laptop is that it uses two graphics cards....
19:50.11msiismfilipdevuan: how do you know?
19:50.55filipdevuanbecause thats what they sold me first one is intel hd integrated second one is nvidia geforce 940mx. its something really weird in my opinion, when i was on windows i had to switch between cards
19:51.07_abc_filipdevuan: all laptops use "2", one is the VESA fallback and the other one is the accelerated graphics card
19:51.08fsmithred_abc_, I'm back.
19:51.09filipdevuani bought this laptop to play windows games but i ended up with using linux
19:51.18_abc_fsmithred: you're only concerned with the accelerated one
19:51.45fsmithredhuh?
19:51.59fsmithredI'm interested in the shutdown script
19:52.03_abc_fsmithred: okay, so I made a script which uses echo 'u' >/proc/sysrq-request or such and it works, it replaces /sbin/{shutdown,halt,reboot,poweroff} which are linked against it
19:52.20_abc_fsmithred: I'll paste it, it still has a few bugs, do not use on a non-persistence system
19:52.32fsmithredok
19:54.50_abc_http://paste.debian.net/1029111/ fsmithred
19:55.40_abc_fsmithred: the bug consists in 'insufficient' detection of the persistence mode and in not calling the right binaries if persistence is not enabled (it tries to exec /sbin/shutdown.bin etc, symlinking those against /sbin/shutdown makes it work there too)
19:56.12msiismfilipdevuan: you might want to check out http://tldp.org
19:56.28_abc_fsmithred: to install: boot into persistence from a live usb iso, copy the script into /sbin, then move halt to halt.bin shutdown to shutdown.bin and symlink poweroff halt shutdown reboot to the script
19:56.29fsmithredthanks, I'll play with it
19:56.43filipdevuanwhat for? :P
19:56.59_abc_filipdevuan: it seems to work cleanly and leaves no fuzz at all
19:57.15_abc_* fsmithred ^
19:58.04msiismfilipdevuan: it will save you from gaming, for example.
19:58.13filipdevuanyeah gaming is fucked up
19:59.01KatolaZfilipdevuan: some of the stuff on tldp.org might be  abit outdated, but it's all good stuff
19:59.10KatolaZs/abit/a bit/
19:59.20filipdevuanwindows gaming especially, i have 50 games right now that are waiting for me to be played, strategy games for example but i still keep thinking about windows games its so pain
19:59.37msiismfilipdevuan: KatolaZ is right, but it's still kind of _the_ go-to place for general linux docs.
19:59.51filipdevuanyeah im just reading unix and internet fundamentals ;P
19:59.58msiismalso, it has apparently been updated today
19:59.58KatolaZmsiism is right :)
20:00.43filipdevuanyeah thanks for all your information, im glad its free

20:05.18filipdevuanyeah i do you know i dont do anything useful everyday
20:05.23KatolaZI did that whenever I had free time
20:05.46_stephen_may as well add 'man -k keyword' to that list of man hints.

20:15.14msiismalso, if a local library is throwing out a bunch of totally outdated introductory books for Unix, you could grab one.
20:16.04msiismthey usually have good explanations of how to use the command line. and there will hardly be any difference to you system up to a certain level.
20:16.13filipdevuaniv never seen any books related to unix in this library
20:16.19filipdevuanbefore
20:16.36KatolaZa good one is "Unix Power Tools"
20:16.47KatolaZit's a miscellanea of stuff and hacks
20:16.57KatolaZI think it's also available online
20:17.02KatolaZfor free
20:17.19KatolaZbut it's not a book to read back-to-back
20:17.25filipdevuanyeah i wanna see myself reading this stuff

20:24.05filipdevuani wonder how these nintendo emulators run, how do i play games on em
20:24.21_stephen_how does moria compare to slashem?
20:24.23filipdevuanyeah i wanted to play some text-based game
20:25.01KatolaZ_stephen_: slashem is a *hack right?
20:25.06_stephen_yeah
20:25.10KatolaZ(meaning that it is in the nethack family)
20:25.36_stephen_oh, you start in a town...
20:25.43KatolaZ:D
20:26.20KatolaZyes, but then you never visit the same level again
20:26.56_stephen_Oh, you can keep going back to the town, like diablo...
20:27.29KatolaZunless you go for iron-man mode
20:27.38KatolaZbut that's only in *band
20:27.47_stephen_does it crazy murder you like slashem and nethack do?
20:27.48KatolaZnot in umoria, IIRC
20:28.06KatolaZ_stephen_: it's harder to die for stupid things, like in nethack
20:28.14KatolaZbut yes, you can definitely die on level 1 :D
20:28.20filipdevuanokay im playing some game called flare right now ;D

20:28.58KatolaZoh didn't know flare
20:29.05_stephen_.. flare is an engine..?

20:30.03KatolaZwith non-ascii graphics and all
20:30.37KatolaZit's isometric
20:30.40KatolaZother genre ;)
20:30.45filipdevuanoh nice game like diablo
20:30.49_stephen_I think I played that late one night when I should have been sleeping, and then I forgot about it...
20:30.52KatolaZlooks neat though
20:30.57filipdevuanbut i control my character with keyboard keys not with mouse P
20:31.13filipdevuanquite dark game nice
20:32.47specingpretty sure there are isometric gui clients for ascii games like nethack

22:03.48SuicideJunkieHi.  I was trying to ask about a menu search a few days ago.
22:04.00SuicideJunkiehttp://imagemodserver.duckdns.org/nick/tempstuff/search.png  <-- this was the kind of thing I meant
22:04.31SuicideJunkieSomething to search including descriptions for Bro and Dad who won't know the actual names of apps.
22:06.49golinuxsynaptic does something like that
22:14.00*** join/#devuan aitor (~aitor@63.85-85-50.dynamic.clientes.euskaltel.es)
22:16.21aitorgolinux: did you mean to say synapse?
22:17.10golinuxNo.  I meant synaptic you can search for packages related to a word.

22:21.31aitorthe above screenshot searches for apps related to the word

22:45.37SuicideJunkieYeah, I don't want a search for packages to install, but for apps and commands and such already there.
22:46.57gnarfaceSuicideJunkie: e17 has something called "run everything" but i don't know if it's portable
22:47.08SuicideJunkieLaunchy sounds like it might be close
