00:03.16 | Xenguy | freem: Graphical environment, icons you can click etc.; without it, you are at a virtual console |
00:03.34 | Xenguy | i.e. command line |
00:03.48 | Xenguy | only |
00:06.40 | freem | Xenguy: sure, but, it is usually a set of tools, too, and I would like to know, which one are considered in a minimal DE? |
00:07.23 | Xenguy | Can you elaborate, or expand on that? |
00:07.46 | Xenguy | Or give an example? |
00:07.58 | freem | hardly. After all, I don't understand people. |
00:08.01 | freem | But |
00:08.43 | freem | People seems, to me, to say a DE must have a set of mandatory tools |
00:09.02 | Xenguy | Any specific tools you need? |
00:10.24 | freem | not really. In practice, I'd like to build a package that depends on a tiling WM and those minimal tools, to help people think differently |
00:11.01 | freem | I'm already using that kind of setuf, of course, but, I'm not really a normal user... |
00:11.15 | Xenguy | The 2 main graphical environments are Desktop Environments (DE), and Window Managers (WM, which are more light-weight graphical environments) |
00:11.26 | freem | this is wrong |
00:11.36 | Xenguy | How so? |
00:11.38 | freem | WM are parts of DEs |
00:11.49 | freem | they are not againts, they are parts |
00:11.50 | Xenguy | That can happen |
00:12.21 | Xenguy | In any case, I'm trying to remember a tiling WM that seems decent... |
00:12.35 | freem | on the other hand, all DE I know are based on floating WM |
00:12.50 | freem | Xenguy, i3? |
00:12.58 | Xenguy | I think that's the one |
00:13.41 | freem | this one is quite popular (I'm using it, so I may be biased) but, it is just a single tool |
00:13.41 | Xenguy | I haven't tried it yet, but I see good reviews |
00:14.06 | freem | if you wan't my opinion on it, just ask |
00:14.19 | Xenguy | Sure, I'm interested |
00:14.21 | freem | you'll have direct replies from a real user :) |
00:15.20 | freem | Well. My opinion is that it's nice because with the right tools, you can forgot the mouse. |

00:20.45 | filipdevuan | today i managed to run gothic 2 tes iv oblivion and diablo 3 under wine on devuan i cant believe it devuan is incredible whoever made it is amazing |
00:21.08 | filipdevuan | on linux mint i had problem with just gothic 2... windows 10 couldnt run gothic 2 and oblivion properly. devuan runs them all |
00:21.11 | freem | filipdevuan, you know, devuan is only a fork |
00:21.17 | filipdevuan | what does it mean fork |
00:21.40 | freem | it's a branch of another FOSS project |
00:21.48 | refracta_noob | Eeri Kask's patches for TWM made it my favorite WM - plus I actually think it's a feature that it lacks EWMH because it allows me to do nice things like make youtube windows of an arbitrary size and I do this all the time to have music or video on while working on stuff. I know TWM's like 30yrs old but I actually love it so much I got interested in Refracta and by extension Devuan so that I could |
00:21.51 | filipdevuan | so what does it mean then? |
00:21.54 | refracta_noob | roll my own installer for my preferred set up. |
00:22.04 | freem | mint is a fork of ubuntu, which is itself a fork of debian. |
00:22.14 | freem | devuan is a fork of debian |
00:22.26 | filipdevuan | nice |
00:22.38 | filipdevuan | maybe tahts why they killed ian murdock |
00:22.46 | filipdevuan | cuz hes made debian too amazing system |
00:23.23 | freem | haha, maybe yes, but he was not the inventor of that way of thinking |
00:24.15 | filipdevuan | well yeah i think death by hanging himself up using hoover cable is death deserved for crap person... ;/ |
00:24.41 | freem | FOSS allows to just do what you wan't and share it. Knowledge is more precious than gold, but onlly when it's shared |

00:27.21 | freem | he was the guy which invented the system I used to learn how an almost POSIX system work with nice doc I'll be grateful forever |
00:27.58 | freem | Ian Murdock is not that dead |
00:28.01 | Xenguy | He was pretty wasted the night he died, so I wouldn't doubt that suicide could have happened |
00:28.02 | filipdevuan | anyway im testing diablo 3 now and it works great fucking hell <3 im so suprised that everything works so well on devuan so far... |
00:28.19 | gnarface | Xenguy: i think it was "assisted" suicide |
00:28.35 | gnarface | or the video wouldn't have mysteriously disappeared |
00:28.35 | Xenguy | gnarface: That's chilling to contemplate |
00:29.12 | Xenguy | I wouldn't have thought it likely; is there some evidence to suggest this interpretation? |
00:29.23 | gnarface | filipdevuan: grats :) glad you got it working |
00:29.37 | freem | What I know, is that anyway, the foundator of the DFSG won't die until long |
00:29.39 | refracta_noob | p.s. kudos on an excellent fontconfig configuration out of the box - Ubuntu never seemed to get this right but this worked perfect on my 4K TV right out of the box |
00:29.46 | gnarface | Xenguy: there's some suspicious circumstances involving the dispute with his neighbor that were never explained |
00:29.49 | Xenguy | gnarface: (Should we take this to #debianfork, or ...?) |
00:30.36 | filipdevuan | yeah its amazing how everything works even gothic 2 iv had problems with running gothic 2 propperly for nearly 5 years on different OSES and it appeared to run perfectly on devuan and this is amazing |
00:30.49 | filipdevuan | diablo 3 works as well it seems like to me everythings gonna work under wine on devuan... |
00:33.01 | filipdevuan | whats really funny is that i get more FPS in diablo 3 on devuan than i had on windows 10 this is just incredible |
00:33.16 | filipdevuan | i mean devuan doesnt use 50% of my ram memory it only does 10% xD |
00:33.41 | filipdevuan | oh my god devuan is like heaven in the computer to me at the moment i wonder how runescape 3 NXT gonna be xD damn |

00:47.19 | filipdevuan | yeah they do run faster on linux |
00:48.47 | refracta_noob | I noticed on Ubuntu, at least with 16.04 and later, scheduler performance or something seemed to take a crap... it was awful and not just because of the Gnome jvm memory leak |

00:51.41 | gnarface | filipdevuan: you mean you want to run a shell program from a desktop icon or something? |
00:51.53 | filipdevuan | yeah used optirun it works ;P |
00:52.02 | gnarface | oh alright |
00:52.11 | gnarface | just fyi most terminal programs will accept a command to run at open |
00:52.22 | gnarface | you could just make an icon to run that whole command |
00:52.33 | gnarface | or wrap it in a bash script and make an icon for that instead |

01:40.50 | filipdevuan | nah, through wine okay im donwloading some d3dcompiler_43 now |
01:40.55 | filipdevuan | lets see if it changes something |
01:41.25 | freem | wine does not always work |
01:41.32 | filipdevuan | yeah got it |
01:41.54 | xrogaan | filipdevuan: IIRC there is a linux client for runescape |
01:41.59 | filipdevuan | well for me so far it always does with every game i managed to get gothic 2 working tes iv oblivion diablo 3 now runescape 3 ntx windows client its just AMAZING! |
01:42.00 | freem | hum, did you try the game in a VM? |
01:42.08 | filipdevuan | and diablo 2 works now too!! |
01:42.16 | filipdevuan | oh i just put that command winetricks d3dcompiler_43 and it now it works ;) |
01:42.23 | filipdevuan | its so easy now when i have my gpu drivers!! :P |
01:42.29 | freem | nice |
01:42.35 | filipdevuan | yeah :D |
01:42.46 | filipdevuan | i use search engine called searx.me and its erally good |

01:43.19 | filipdevuan | im downloading path of exile right now this is i think my last game to test if it runs well under winehq |
01:43.31 | filipdevuan | oh yeah im really happy especially that diablo 3 works much better than it did on windows 10 |
01:43.33 | filipdevuan | :P |
01:43.47 | filipdevuan | effects are nicer its smoother and id say graphics are better as well 3d is better i think |
01:44.34 | freem | I"m a now casual you know, I don't have the hardware to play |
01:44.40 | filipdevuan | i just cant believe how everything works better on devuan |
01:44.55 | filipdevuan | but i know why because windows 10 processes used 50% of my ram memory devuan uses only 10% |
01:45.26 | freem | from my memory, windows comes out of the box full on |
01:45.41 | xrogaan | really? |
01:45.44 | filipdevuan | windows 10 processes is a joke |
01:46.04 | freem | a very good windows admin can make it quite efficient |
01:46.07 | filipdevuan | this is why i left windows 10 because of some bullshit processes same thing happening on linux mint and linux fedora |
01:46.13 | xrogaan | I might want to try running battle.net on wine to get to starcraft2 |
01:46.39 | filipdevuan | yeah diablo 3 works amazing and battle.net works too apart from news feed from diablo 3 and friends list |
01:46.43 | xrogaan | I don't understand why there ain't a native linux client yet. They have one for mac. |
01:46.48 | filipdevuan | but diablo 3 works so far and im glad that it does |
01:47.16 | freem | at a time, I knew by heart the windows processes, and could divide by 2 the CPU usage |
01:47.29 | filipdevuan | effects look much cooler than on windows 10 theres more colours i think i dont know i think linux has better 3d rendering stuff here |

01:48.18 | filipdevuan | its unbelievable!! |
01:48.27 | freem | defaut install of it is bad, and windows admins are not good |
01:48.35 | xrogaan | windows adds ton of overhead where distros in general do not. |
01:48.47 | MinceR | windows is malware |

01:49.05 | MinceR | no u |
01:49.22 | buZz | no u |
01:49.30 | xrogaan | in a sense, windows needs to make sure its integrity is sane, while on linux that's the job of the admin. |
01:49.31 | filipdevuan | nah its true that windows adds too many useless processes i dont need for example microsoft search process and antivirus to play a game |
01:49.37 | freem | windows aims to be easy to use, sacrificing lot of things |
01:49.38 | MinceR | the current version of windows spies on its user and downloads and executes code from microsoft without asking the user |

01:50.22 | filipdevuan | you know whats funny my friend called me today hes had update downloaded from microsoft on his windows 7 and guess what it killed his pc it crashed and i had to come bring him windows 10 iso dvd lmao |
01:50.22 | buZz | MinceR: they worked really hard on that msdos shell and you should feel blessed of have been given the blissfull joy that was the interaction you had |
01:50.24 | MinceR | oh, right |
01:50.25 | freem | windows needs goods admins to avoid rotting |

01:57.22 | bozonius2 | will be back after attempting an install, if it does not kill him of course |
01:57.30 | filipdevuan | well i never had such a good experience with linux mint and fedora maybe because they have everything preinstalled and its harder to configure stuff |

02:15.24 | xrogaan | which file system would be best on a drive that contain large files? |
02:19.06 | buZz | i tend to just use ext4 for anything, and bcache if i need that ext4 to be faster (combined with a fast ssd) |

02:29.09 | gnarface | xrogaan: depends really on just how large of files you have but xfs has the largest max file size |
02:29.27 | gnarface | there is a big chart on wikipedia you can use to compare features like that |
02:30.12 | gnarface | some benchmarks highlight that it's also the only multi-threaded filesystem so it makes a good choice for file servers |
02:41.22 | xrogaan | thanks |

02:47.22 | gnarface | xrogaan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems#Limits |
02:47.51 | gnarface | an exhaustive list |
02:48.22 | gnarface | max file size isn't everything, but xfs also has really good figures for snapshotting and resizing |
02:49.31 | gnarface | as far as journaling filesystems go it's ancient though so it's not known for as good of behavior with regards to power failures during writes |

04:39.30 | bozonius2 | actually, I have a more basic question. How do I change the partitioning? I thought I was using expert graphical mode, so I expect it would allow me to make this type of change. I'm not seeing how to do it. |
04:39.51 | bozonius2 | is cursed |
04:45.17 | bozonius2 | I'm using ascii net install 64 bit. I select Manual but I see no way to do the sorts of things I'd expect in "manual" partitioning like deleting and resizing partitions |
04:45.28 | bozonius2 | What is bozonius doing wrong? |
05:00.07 | SuicideJunkie | I was using the jessie version of that and did the partitioning, but that was a while ago. |
05:00.43 | SuicideJunkie | I'll try out the ascii install tomorrow. |
05:01.35 | gnarface | bozonius2: the partition tool in the installer will let you delete and add partitions but will not let you resize existing partitions. a better solution would be to resize using gparted from a live image |
05:01.59 | gnarface | no idea about ext4+LVM |
05:02.16 | gnarface | probably though, as long as it's not an ARM device with crippled u-boot support |
05:02.40 | gnarface | but there might be a trick to it |
05:09.08 | bozonius2 | I guess where I am stuck is that I can't figure out how to avoid the configuration it presents, even though I am requsting "manual" config! |
05:09.36 | bozonius2 | I don't expect any of the "guided" options to offer me a chance to delete or resize partitions. |
05:09.48 | *** join/#devuan Hoshpak (~Hoshpak@dslb-002-206-138-081.002.206.pools.vodafone-ip.de) |
05:09.55 | SuicideJunkie | you don't have an option to delete the existing partitions? |
05:10.08 | bozonius2 | Not that I've found so far, no. |
05:10.12 | bozonius2 | Is there one? |
05:10.40 | bozonius2 | I see an option that lets me erase the partition, but not one that does delete |
05:10.58 | SuicideJunkie | Erase as in wipe the contents, but not the structure? |
05:11.30 | bozonius2 | Like I expected to be dropped into a bare-bones gparted or cfdisk sort of UI. |
05:11.49 | bozonius2 | And I could craft the entire disk arrangement from scratch. |
05:12.16 | bozonius2 | (I suppose the shell escape might work, but I figured "Manual" should do something like this) |
05:12.46 | SuicideJunkie | I'm reasonably sure I got such a thing when I first installed, but I was starting with a blank HDD out of the box. |
05:12.47 | bozonius2 | gnarface: This is a VM for now. |
05:13.15 | bozonius2 | This is the rough equivlent of blank HDD, SuicideJunkie |
05:13.29 | SuicideJunkie | You have existing partitions, do you not? |
05:13.43 | bozonius2 | In a brand new VM? No. |
05:14.15 | SuicideJunkie | How did you get an erase partition option with no partitions? |
05:14.18 | bozonius2 | Did you also use net install (Maybe that's the issue, though that would be weird) |
05:14.31 | SuicideJunkie | It was the net install for jessie |
05:14.43 | SuicideJunkie | But other than that, yeah. |
05:14.50 | bozonius2 | I chose expert graphical install, and when I get to partitioning, I select "manual" |
05:15.20 | bozonius2 | that option presents me with a pre-configured partitioning scheme, which I don't like. |
05:15.32 | bozonius2 | But I don't see a way to work past it |
05:15.48 | bozonius2 | the only other options are various guided modes (for LVM, etc) |
05:16.10 | gnarface | bozonius2: not the guided mode. there's a non-guided manual mode, but i forget what it's called. |
05:16.22 | bozonius2 | "Manual" |
05:16.37 | gnarface | bozonius2: it should give you a blank slate. i guarantee deleting partitions is an option too, but maybe it's not super intuitive (mabye it's in the same menu where you choose partition type?) |
05:16.46 | SuicideJunkie | What menu options do you get when you doubleclick the last partition listed? |
05:17.11 | gnarface | if it was a fresh VM from a blank disk image you should not be seeing precreated partitions unless you had run the guided partitioner once already without creating a fresh empty disk image |
05:17.11 | bozonius2 | Same as for the other ones, I think. |
05:17.12 | SuicideJunkie | partition type = none? |
05:17.37 | bozonius2 | ok, let me try this again. Gimme a moment... it doesn't take long |
05:18.08 | bozonius2 | (have to shut down another VM to allow ascii VM to run) |
05:18.41 | bozonius2 | first menu: I choose Advanced Options |
05:19.20 | gnarface | yep, then expert mode |
05:19.35 | gnarface | i never choose graphical but i hear it works almost as well as the plain ncurses one these days |
05:19.48 | gnarface | they won't provide different options unless there is a bug though |
05:20.17 | gnarface | graphical expert mode and regular/ncurses/text expert mode (not sure what it's labeled in there) is all the same options just less eye candy |
05:20.44 | bozonius2 | sorry, lost the mouse for a moment |
05:20.49 | SuicideJunkie | Pixellated progress bars and such. |
05:20.56 | bozonius2 | then I choose graphical expert mode |
05:21.40 | bozonius2 | then language, keyboard, yada yada |
05:22.06 | bozonius2 | now, do I need to load any additoinal modules perhaps? |
05:22.36 | gnarface | nope |
05:22.38 | gnarface | uh |
05:22.39 | gnarface | wait |
05:22.43 | bozonius2 | (none of rthose listed look like I would) |
05:22.59 | gnarface | probably not but really i forget what is in there these days |

05:23.35 | bozonius2 | cfdisk? |
05:23.36 | gnarface | the big blind spot is you're doing this in a VM ... maybe there is some tools specific to it in there you want but i can't imagine any of that would affect the primary problem you're having with partitioning |
05:23.46 | bozonius2 | agree |
05:24.15 | bozonius2 | I'm checking cfdisk and select init system (just for s&g) |
05:24.48 | bozonius2 | sorry I could not test this during RC |
05:25.42 | gnarface | it has been heavily tested and the only thing i remember people coming back with in a VM was some problem mixing LVM and RAID under the default partitioning scheme |
05:26.02 | bozonius2 | in expert or guided mode? |
05:27.29 | bozonius2 | so I get to partitioning, and it gives me 4 choices: Guided using whole disk, Guided for LVM, Guided for Encrypted LVM, and just plain Manual |
05:28.17 | bozonius2 | (btw, not sure why they would attempt RAID in a VM. LVM is useful though for dynamic disk space) |
05:29.33 | gnarface | if this isn't about the installer and just about getting the job done, you could always pre-partition the disk image and just accept it from the installer |
05:29.35 | gnarface | then we dont' have to figure out what's happening |
05:29.35 | gnarface | but i do understand the desire to do so |
05:30.17 | bozonius2 | tbh, I am trying to use VM install to simulate how I might do this on real HW someday... |
05:30.35 | gnarface | yea, that was your first mistake |
05:30.43 | gnarface | because installing in a VM is nothing like doing it on real HW |
05:30.51 | gnarface | but that's beside the point now |
05:30.53 | bozonius2 | I hope to have a test box here soon, but that doesn't have the same HW config as this box |
05:30.59 | gnarface | lets see |
05:31.07 | gnarface | pick the "just plain manual" one |
05:31.21 | bozonius2 | Partitioning choices should be the same in VM and real |
05:31.35 | gnarface | i'm not saying they're not |
05:31.38 | gnarface | what i'm saying is |
05:31.45 | gnarface | don't use any of the "guided" ones |
05:31.59 | bozonius2 | Ok, Manual, as I did before... |
05:32.09 | gnarface | ok |
05:32.11 | gnarface | what do you see? |
05:32.16 | gnarface | it should be NOTHING |
05:32.22 | gnarface | there should be an empty list of no partitions |
05:32.24 | bozonius2 | and it gives me a partitioned disk |
05:32.28 | gnarface | huh |
05:32.35 | gnarface | that suggests your disk image was already partitioned |
05:32.36 | bozonius2 | oh... |
05:32.37 | gnarface | how did you create it? |
05:32.41 | bozonius2 | uh... |
05:32.42 | Jjp137 | oh that's not a partitioned disk; that's just a device (sda) |
05:32.44 | gnarface | not with dd certainly? |
05:32.44 | Jjp137 | try double-clicking it |
05:32.52 | bozonius2 | omg |
05:33.09 | bozonius2 | no... wait! |
05:33.13 | gnarface | goodness, don't partition your running disk |
05:33.33 | gnarface | make sure it's actually the VM disk image... lol |
05:33.38 | bozonius2 | for a moment, I thought I was recycling a VM disk from another system. But I now rmember I created it fr4om scartch |
05:33.42 | bozonius2 | scratch |
05:33.44 | Jjp137 | the VM is new and shiny and spotless right? |
05:33.49 | Jjp137 | and the disk too? |
05:33.51 | Jjp137 | oh |
05:33.52 | bozonius2 | so it should, in theory , be blank |
05:33.54 | bozonius2 | yes |
05:33.59 | bozonius2 | shiny and spotless |
05:34.11 | gnarface | maybe the [VM image creation tool] pre-partitioned the disk image "for your convenience?" |
05:34.20 | bozonius2 | hahah |
05:34.30 | bozonius2 | I've never heard of such a thing |
05:34.36 | gnarface | what partitions does it list? |
05:35.18 | Jjp137 | this is the graphical install, right? if so, is there like an arrow to the left of sda that you can click on to reveal a list? |
05:35.23 | bozonius2 | 3.8GB LV home, 2.9GB LV root, 16GV LV swap, then the partition table listing |
05:35.48 | bozonius2 | Jjp137, there IS an arrow, but it is already "open" |
05:35.57 | Jjp137 | okay so there are partitions |
05:36.00 | bozonius2 | hold on, screen shot? |
05:36.07 | bozonius2 | or no? |
05:36.15 | Jjp137 | yea if you want |
05:36.16 | gnarface | yes. screenshot to imgur... |
05:36.25 | gnarface | "LV" ... is that from LVM? |
05:36.30 | gnarface | i don't use LVM, either |
05:36.37 | bozonius2 | yes, "Logical Volume" |
05:36.51 | gnarface | so this disk image has logical volumes already? |
05:36.57 | gnarface | maybe i should fire up the latest installer... |
05:37.29 | gnarface | but i'm wondering if whatever disk image tool you're using gave you a fully bootable disk image... |
05:37.49 | bozonius2 | which disk image tool would that be? |
05:38.00 | gnarface | i dunno. what did you use? all i know is that last i checked, this page should be blank |

05:40.20 | KatolaZ | you'll get a meny |
05:40.21 | KatolaZ | menu |
05:40.37 | KatolaZ | where you can delete/format/change the partition |
05:40.53 | gnarface | yea, what he said. from this screenshot, the ones labeled "primary" and "logical" |
05:41.03 | gnarface | ignore the LVM stuff above that... i think vbox did actually create those |
05:41.07 | Leander | or just delete the image file on your hard drive, and create a new one |
05:41.07 | bozonius2 | Yes I get "Use as: Don't use", "Erase Data", "Done partitioning." |
05:41.14 | bozonius2 | No "Delete" option |
05:41.16 | gnarface | there you go |
05:41.17 | Leander | there's no way vbox created any of that stuff |
05:41.18 | gnarface | "don't use" |
05:41.40 | gnarface | it actually makes more sense in the ncurses mode, because the menu title is "use as" |
05:41.46 | gnarface | or "Use as..." more specifically |
05:41.53 | gnarface | so then "... don't use" is intuitive |
05:41.55 | bozonius2 | gnarface -- I get asked what type of fs I want |
05:42.11 | gnarface | what? |
05:42.18 | gnarface | can you just hit the delete key or something? |
05:42.25 | bozonius2 | the last option, however, says do not use the partition |
05:42.29 | bozonius2 | nope |
05:42.39 | gnarface | what happens when you set it to "don't use" then? |
05:42.39 | bozonius2 | (thanks to all of you for your patience) |
05:42.56 | gnarface | it might actually not be able to manage LVM |
05:43.02 | gnarface | maybe that's the issue |
05:43.07 | bozonius2 | I get the menu I just described. A list of FS type options, the last being "Do not use this partitoin" |
05:43.25 | bozonius2 | then why would it offer LVM? |
05:43.30 | bozonius2 | bug? |
05:43.38 | gnarface | it can create them... |
05:43.41 | gnarface | but wait |
05:43.50 | gnarface | what if you do change to "configure the logical volume manager" ? |
05:44.06 | gnarface | can i see a screenshot of that panel too? |
05:44.13 | Leander | you have to go to "Configure the Logical Volume Manager" and remove the logical volumes |
05:44.23 | gnarface | thank you, Leander |
05:44.32 | bozonius2 | right, I tried this also |
05:44.52 | bozonius2 | it first asks me if I want to keep the current layout, yes or no |
05:44.59 | gnarface | obviously no |
05:45.01 | bozonius2 | so I chose "no" |
05:45.03 | gnarface | well |
05:45.05 | bozonius2 | (right) |
05:45.22 | bozonius2 | and it takes me right back to the same view as I posted on imgur |
05:45.32 | gnarface | they're not gone? |
05:45.37 | bozonius2 | sorry, no |
05:45.39 | gnarface | hmmm |
05:45.42 | gnarface | Leander? |
05:45.43 | bozonius2 | yeah |
05:45.44 | Leander | then say "yes" |
05:45.47 | bozonius2 | ok |
05:45.58 | Leander | because you've apparently not reached the LVM menu |
05:46.12 | bozonius2 | ah, now it offers me a chance to delete something |
05:46.22 | gnarface | Leander: he's got a fresh vbox image and he's just trying to delete everything on it and start over |
05:46.33 | gnarface | i don't know how to do that with LVM apparently.. |
05:46.34 | Leander | no, it's not a fresh image |
05:46.58 | gnarface | he insists vbox created it |
05:47.07 | gnarface | how sure are you about that bozonius2? |
05:47.11 | bozonius2 | So, up to this point, I have to actually SAVE the partitioning I DONT want in order to delete partitions? |
05:47.12 | gnarface | file name check? |
05:47.19 | KatolaZ | hold on bozonius2 |
05:47.21 | Leander | vbox doesn't do any partitioning for you |
05:47.24 | bozonius2 | that makes little sense to me |
05:47.27 | gnarface | heh, just crazy enough to work... |
05:47.33 | bozonius2 | Leander: correct! |
05:47.40 | KatolaZ | do you need to preserve the existing partitions and enlarge them? |
05:47.56 | Leander | so this image you are using, it's not a new one, you've used it for something already |
05:48.23 | bozonius2 | here is what I think it is -- I have 1500MB ram allocated to the VM, so the swap is sized alike. It needs a tiny bit for /boot, the rest becomes / |
05:48.42 | bozonius2 | (I could test this a bit furthr, but it seems that is how it decided the layout) |
05:48.47 | bozonius2 | (I certainly did not!) |
05:48.55 | Jjp137 | you might have accidentally chose to use an existing image file when creating the VM |
05:49.00 | Leander | and the manual partitioning on debian/devuan is quite ridiculous this way, you end up confirming time and time again that yes, you confirm this or that, before you can see the next screen |

05:50.05 | gnarface | i wonder if you would have the same problem with a qemu image... |

05:50.42 | gnarface | heh |
05:50.45 | bozonius2 | I have the worst luck |
05:50.48 | bozonius2 | no, really I do |
05:50.53 | Leander | you can also create a new image in vbox, and use it as your main hdd, and see that indeed, images created by vbox are blank |
05:50.55 | bozonius2 | Leander? |
05:51.42 | Leander | my only guess at the moment is that you're confused by something in vbox which makes you believe you are using a blank hdd image while you aren't |
05:51.44 | bozonius2 | are you being sarcastic about debian/devuan having a mickey mouse partitioning scheme, or are you poking fun at my situation? |
05:52.35 | bozonius2 | what puzzles me so much is that I had to actually SAVE the damn partitioning scheme that I DID NOT create in order to delete partitions!!!!???? |
05:52.56 | bozonius2 | that is so... idk. How does one say it in technical terms? |
05:53.01 | bozonius2 | "backwards?" |
05:53.02 | Leander | yes, the partitioning tool is very old and quite weird |
05:53.08 | bozonius2 | ok, thanks. |
05:53.13 | bozonius2 | just to clarify. |
05:53.25 | bozonius2 | I wasn't sure if you thought I really blundered |
05:53.40 | Leander | no I'm really agreeing about that |
05:54.08 | gnarface | i'm leaning towards blaming it on vbox |
05:54.15 | gnarface | but i don't really know |
05:54.35 | bozonius2 | Go ahead. Oracle owns VBox. So givem the raspberries |
05:55.25 | Leander | by the way, did you create this VM from scratch? or did you clone a previous one? |
05:55.29 | bozonius2 | gnarface: I can pretty much assure you that VBox images, unless they've been used in a different VM somewhere, are just like the real HW disk drives you buy at Frys |
05:55.34 | bozonius2 | blank |
05:56.06 | bozonius2 | I just created this VM tonight, with its very own, private 8GB virtual hard disk .vdi |
05:56.21 | bozonius2 | no other install has touched it. |

05:57.27 | bozonius2 | And the Russians do not even know I own a PC, much less my true identity. So it is not them either. |
05:58.29 | bozonius2 | Leander: thank you. I actually thought for a moment (when I was saying uh-oh and omg) that I had done just that. But then I recalled I created it from scratch. |
05:58.56 | bozonius2 | originally, I considered recycling a VM from another distro |
06:00.21 | Leander | one crazy possibility is that when you created this 8GB file, it ended up physically on your disk on a previously formatted image (because image creation tools do not blank the disk) |
06:00.33 | bozonius2 | Tell you all what: I will recreate the VM from scratch again just to make sure I am not pissing away your collective time and effort needlessly. |
06:00.40 | Leander | by that I mean, a previously formatted and deleted image |
06:00.41 | gnarface | make sure you use a new file name |
06:00.45 | gnarface | bozonius2: ^ |
06:01.06 | bozonius2 | Sure. |
06:01.28 | Leander | bozonius2: which CD image are you using for installation? |
06:01.54 | bozonius2 | Leander: I've never tried to create a VM that was completely LVM based. So even if such a coincidence occurred, it would still be a non-starter. |
06:02.02 | bozonius2 | (but good thinking; I thought that also) |
06:02.25 | bozonius2 | this time, I'll create a 12 GB HD |
06:02.33 | bozonius2 | just to see if it makes any differnce |
06:04.35 | *** join/#devuan Digit (~user@fsf/member/digit) |
06:05.59 | bozonius2 | btw, just fyi -- I am using pre-allocated virtual HD, not dynamic. I always do that these days because it speeds up VMs quite a bit |
06:06.16 | bozonius2 | Leander: net install of ascii 64 bit |
06:06.37 | bozonius2 | afk 1 min |
06:09.26 | Leander | I got the expected blank image |
06:11.07 | bozonius2 | Leander: Are you doing advanced options, expert graphical install also? |
06:11.25 | Leander | nope, let me try that |
06:14.24 | *** join/#devuan amesser (~Andreas@p200300E357068500155B9C3D48197478.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) |
06:14.38 | bozonius2 | different this time... |
06:14.57 | bozonius2 | only thing I changed was disk size and ram (1G this time) |
06:15.05 | bozonius2 | (disk 12GB) |
06:15.16 | bozonius2 | now I don't get that list of partitions! |
06:15.22 | bozonius2 | ????$$$$~!!!! |
06:15.25 | Leander | I still can't reproduce |
06:15.30 | bozonius2 | right |
06:15.44 | Jjp137 | okay I have a silly theory as to why it showed up previously :p |
06:15.57 | bozonius2 | because I am bozonius, of course... |
06:16.15 | Jjp137 | first, your VM has 1536mb of RAM, right? |
06:16.57 | bozonius2 | the first one did, yes. This one has 1GB |
06:17.03 | bozonius2 | but go ahead... |
06:17.20 | bozonius2 | not enough ram? |
06:17.21 | Jjp137 | because with that, you may have initially picked "Guided - Use Entire Disk and Set Up LVM" at first (and maybe forgot about it) |
06:17.23 | bozonius2 | too much ram? |
06:17.40 | Jjp137 | and you also picked to use a separate /home partition |
06:17.41 | bozonius2 | that IS possible |
06:17.43 | bozonius2 | yes |
06:17.46 | bozonius2 | I did |
06:17.47 | Jjp137 | as part of that, it has to write the changes to disk |
06:17.57 | Jjp137 | then you probably had to cancel the install at some point |
06:18.14 | Jjp137 | and then some time later, you come back, go through the whole thing again, and find that your previous changes are still there |
06:18.20 | bozonius2 | I thought that only happens when I hit "Finish Partitioning and write chnges to disk" |
06:18.33 | Leander | wait... you did that before? |
06:18.43 | bozonius2 | yes... |
06:18.56 | Leander | no wonder! |
06:19.00 | Jjp137 | nope with that particular option, it asks "Write the changes to disk and configure LVM?" |
06:19.01 | bozonius2 | I need to find a new line of work |
06:19.04 | Jjp137 | and you probably said yes |
06:19.16 | bozonius2 | oh shit |
06:19.22 | bozonius2 | now I remember, yes |
06:19.27 | Jjp137 | lol, mystery solved |
06:19.29 | bozonius2 | OK everyone. |
06:19.35 | bozonius2 | The bozo show is over for tonight |
06:20.16 | Leander | *tatata* *tsing* |
06:20.18 | Jjp137 | yea I did some experimenting in a VM and could actually reproduce the basically the same screenshot that bozonius2 posted earlier |
06:20.59 | Jjp137 | down to how big each partition is (which is why I asked about the RAM) |
06:21.15 | bozonius2 | Maybe there is still time for me to become a Unitarian minister... |
06:21.31 | Leander | so yes, the partitioning tool of the installer is very old, and writes changes to disk very early |
06:22.46 | bozonius2 | Jjp137: Yes, I figured that part out too. The swap size was identical to the ram size. |
06:22.51 | Leander | when you want to do anything with LVM, it writes down the partition table, creates the LVM pv and vg, before you can start configuring the LVs |
06:23.03 | bozonius2 | Right, I know that. |
06:23.29 | bozonius2 | but because all that was done transparently the first time I tried (with the guided with LVM option) |
06:23.46 | bozonius2 | so I wasn't paying attention to that |
06:24.11 | bozonius2 | but it does sound like I need to be wary of the installer, generally |
06:24.22 | bozonius2 | I think that is what you guys are telling me. |
06:24.42 | Leander | it sounded like it was your first time booting the image, so... thanks Jjp137 for that |
06:24.49 | Jjp137 | yep when it asks to write changes to disk, you should stop and think :p |

06:25.50 | bozonius2 | but still, I would STILL expect a way to delete partitions if I am in "expert" mode, with no bizarre logic path to get to it, such as saving the partition table just to get to a menu where I can actually delete partitions |
06:26.03 | bozonius2 | that part I find very clumsy. |
06:26.45 | Leander | yes it could be o much better |
06:27.04 | Leander | and even worse: you can create LUKS volumes, but you can never remove them |
06:27.07 | bozonius2 | If the UI is based on the notion that an expert is driving (even one who does not "think" when asked to save something), then it should provide adequate support around that. |
06:27.13 | Leander | until you reboot |
06:27.23 | bozonius2 | because it brings bad LUK? |
06:27.45 | Leander | oh... uh... the door is right there, sir |
06:28.28 | bozonius2 | sorry |
06:29.20 | bozonius2 | Jjp137: No, not "should" stop and think, more like "better" stop and think. There may be no way to undo. |
06:29.40 | Jjp137 | heh yea |
06:29.53 | bozonius2 | w/r/t the installer at least. |
06:30.00 | bozonius2 | Normally, I DO watch those kinds of things. |
06:30.35 | bozonius2 | Still, during an install process, I am used to being given plenty of options to modify, change, repeal, replace, update, modify, and reconnoiter any which way. |
06:30.47 | bozonius2 | well, OK, maybe that is exaggerative |
06:31.05 | bozonius2 | but I've not felt this frustrated looking for a "delete" option since... |
06:31.07 | bozonius2 | since... |

10:30.56 | filipdevuan | why?? |
10:31.15 | debdog | ask poettering |
10:31.16 | Wonka | a) Poettering, b) nobody knows |
10:31.49 | filipdevuan | who is poettering xdd |
10:32.08 | Wonka | the guy who crufted pulseaudio and systemd |
10:32.17 | filipdevuan | ohh lol |
10:32.33 | filipdevuan | so its the same person |
10:32.48 | Wonka | yep |
10:33.15 | filipdevuan | so do u even use pulseaudio or something else??? |
10:33.21 | Wonka | plain alsa |
10:33.51 | filipdevuan | if im gonna delete pulseaudio packages and install plain alsa would it affect games i installed under wine like they wont turn on?? |
10:33.59 | filipdevuan | i dont think so you know cuz its just sound card but just curious |
10:34.47 | filipdevuan | i mean i dont wanna crashes lol |

10:35.57 | debdog | pulseaudio does not work without alsa |
10:36.30 | debdog | it's just another layer between the progs and the audio hardware |
10:36.40 | filipdevuan | right... so im confused if i should really delete pulseaudio?? |
10:36.45 | debdog | or alsa, to be precise |
10:37.19 | debdog | well... that's something you'll have to decide for yourself |
10:37.31 | filipdevuan | why is pulseaudio bad, does it slow performance or spy you??? |
10:38.34 | debdog | for me personally, it's because pulseaudio takes over alsa and blocks direct access for non-PA-progrs |
10:38.43 | debdog | *progs |
10:39.21 | filipdevuan | and whats this?? |
10:39.43 | debdog | the basic idea behind PA might not be that bad but it's implementation is terrible and selfish |
10:40.00 | debdog | what's waht? |
10:40.23 | debdog | *its |
10:40.32 | filipdevuan | oh |
10:40.33 | filipdevuan | okay |
10:40.54 | filipdevuan | well i have a read about it but now im excited about my graphics card working and games under wine |
10:41.33 | debdog | I am not aware that the wine project removed support for alsa. |
10:42.00 | filipdevuan | cool |
10:42.01 | filipdevuan | ;D |
10:42.16 | ttr | PA vs plain alsa is personal choose - PA is software layer to decode and mix sound. Some apps will not even work w/o PA and I found esternal (USB) cards beeing way better supported on PA :) |
10:44.30 | filipdevuan | oh right yeah im gonna get an audio interface at some point but not for apple or windows but for linux |

11:20.59 | ttr | g0zzy: wicid also |
11:21.23 | fsmithred | xrogaan, good question. I think you would just need to configure interfaces and not use any nm. |
11:21.29 | ttr | i think in default, if you use wired, it will disconnect wifi |
11:21.31 | g0zzy | OK so wicd would bring up eth0 if no wireless? |

11:23.46 | fsmithred | g0zzy, ctrl-c might kill that process |
11:24.42 | g0zzy | Yay! it did |
11:26.02 | fsmithred | FTR, 'auto' makes ifup/down control the interface, allow-hotplug gives it to udev. |
11:26.56 | g0zzy | Right |
11:31.33 | g0zzy | OK - here's the bad news. Turning off wifi and plugging in Ethernet did not bring up a net connection |
11:31.52 | g0zzy | (disconnecting wifi) |
11:32.18 | fsmithred | does the wired interface show up in wicd? |
11:32.50 | fsmithred | if not, there's an option in preferences to always show it. |
11:33.02 | g0zzy | Yes. I think it might want me to connect explictly |
11:33.08 | fsmithred | yup |
11:33.18 | g0zzy | Hmm |
11:35.26 | g0zzy | Can probably live with that |
11:37.07 | fsmithred | my laptop usually is connect with wire, so I have it automatically connect. |
11:37.23 | fsmithred | If I use wireless, I have to open wicd and connect. |
11:39.10 | g0zzy | Yes, that's fine. My client (first to get Devuan) will be using wifi |
11:40.04 | fsmithred | if they're windows refugees, they'll probably be ok with using wicd. |
11:41.04 | g0zzy | They are indeed |
11:41.47 | fsmithred | I think wicd is a lot easier to use than whatever windows uses for setting up the network. |
11:42.16 | ttr | depends on settings both can happen automatically |
11:42.39 | ttr | i have wired if present, if not look for wifi and connect to those set as autoconnect |
11:43.17 | ttr | so, small paste comming in: |

11:43.18 | ttr | Wired Interface: eth0 |

11:43.31 | ttr | and |
11:43.31 | ttr | Wired Autoconnect Settings |
11:43.32 | ttr | (X) Use default profile on wired autoconnect |
11:44.25 | ttr | this should set up your wired using dhcp, if you need static, you need to edit wired-default profile |

21:03.32 | _abc_ | fsmithred: that makes sense, reusing the tests. The current script works fine with at least 2 machines now, i.e. 2 persistence enabled usb sticks made with r2u, no more fuzz with unclean umounts. |
21:04.13 | _abc_ | fsmithred: so one should also add fsck at the 'head' in live-boot eventually. The actual command sequence used to umount and sync and shutdown/reboot is clean and could be considered debugged. |
21:07.18 | fsmithred | refracta_noob, automounting removable drives is usually configured in the desktop settings |

21:55.11 | novemberrain | i'm trying to upgrade from jessie to ascii. update (mostly) works but i get a dist-upgrade error |
21:55.14 | *** join/#devuan IoFran2 (~Thunderbi@189.154.21.141) |
21:55.28 | novemberrain | "gnupg : Breaks: python-apt (<= 1.1.0~beta4) but 0.9.3.12 is to be installed" |
21:56.13 | novemberrain | plus two other similar cases, but i can do without the other packages |
21:56.53 | novemberrain | any ideas what's wrong and how to deal with it? |
22:00.23 | fsmithred | novemberrain, if you're going from jessie to ascii, you should be seeing python-apt 0.9.3.12 getting upgraded to 1.4.0~beta3. Where did you get the 1.1? |
22:02.40 | golinux | ChuangTzu: pm |
22:02.57 | novemberrain | ¯\_(ã)_/¯ |
22:04.47 | fsmithred | how did you install jessie, and what have you done to her in the meantime? |
22:04.56 | novemberrain | i might have installed a backported version? i have 1.4.18.7 now |
22:05.30 | novemberrain | i'm using jessie for some 2 years now |
22:05.52 | fsmithred | that version is not in any backports repo (jessie, ascii or stretch) |
22:06.06 | fsmithred | maybe you pulled it from testing or sid some time ago? |
22:06.29 | fsmithred | sid/ceres has 1.6.1 now |
22:07.21 | fsmithred | can you paste your sources.list somewhere (not here) |
22:07.34 | novemberrain | i'm sure i installed a newer firejail from debian repos, but i didn't mess with sources, just downloaded it "manually" |
22:07.57 | fsmithred | what repo you using? |
22:08.05 | fsmithred | now |
22:08.44 | golinux | novemberrain: Use fsmithred's firemenu. Much easier on the eyes |
22:08.57 | novemberrain | i don't remember doing the same with gnupg, but there's a non-zero chance i did it |
22:09.42 | fsmithred | are you using auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged ascii? |
22:09.51 | fsmithred | or something else -if so, what? |
22:09.56 | novemberrain | all the sources i'm using now are pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged ascii |
22:10.06 | fsmithred | ok, that should work |
22:10.38 | fsmithred | what version of gnupg is currently installed? |
22:11.16 | novemberrain | the thing is, when i do apt-get update, i see a lot of write errors and/or broken pipes |
22:11.32 | novemberrain | but that sometimes happened before |
22:11.44 | fsmithred | hard drive failing? |
22:11.44 | novemberrain | and never interfered with upgrades |
22:12.07 | novemberrain | now you're really cheering me up! |
22:13.00 | fsmithred | so, what version of gnupg you got? |
22:13.23 | novemberrain | gnupg: Installed: 1.4.18-7+deb8u5 Candidate: 2.1.18-8~deb9u2 |
22:14.12 | *** join/#devuan Guest93732 (~ard1t@46.183.122.84) |
22:14.48 | fsmithred | ok, you have the version from jessie-security, and it wants to install the ascii verion. That's good. |

22:15.22 | novemberrain | python-apt: Installed: 0.9.3.12 Candidate: 1.4.0~beta3 |
22:16.03 | fsmithred | yeah, maybe try 'apt-get install python-apt=1.4.0~beta3' |
22:20.11 | fsmithred | other things to try: 'apt-get upgrade' before doing dist-upgrade; aptitude safe-upgrade and aptitude full-upgrade may give you more options. |

22:23.12 | novemberrain | ok, i had to remove the other 2 offending packages but now it looks like it's gonna work |
22:24.32 | novemberrain | i mean, installing python-apt=1.4.0~beta3 - upgrading and installing a total of 200MB packages |
22:25.52 | novemberrain | hmm, but it also wants a number of packages removed, including libreoffice; i'd rather keep it |
22:27.15 | *** join/#devuan refracta_noob (~ayylmao@47.184.110.244) |
22:27.59 | fsmithred | maybe you need to also install the exact versions of the packages you removed |
22:28.03 | fsmithred | what were they? |
22:28.54 | novemberrain | there's a ton of packages for upgrade, install and removal |
22:29.17 | novemberrain | it wants aptitude removed |
22:33.56 | fsmithred | what were the other two offending packages you removed? |
22:34.23 | novemberrain | is it safer to go with "apt-get upgrade" (non-dist), or "aptitude safe-upgrade"? |
22:34.43 | novemberrain | eric & openscad |
22:34.44 | fsmithred | they are roughly the same |

22:36.02 | novemberrain | it seems that apt-get upgrade will work |
22:36.47 | novemberrain | with a lot of packages to upgrade and a lot of packages held back - this is fine, right? |

22:47.06 | refracta_noob | and why shouldn't I write a rule to let me do anything ever? it's not really helping me do anything at this point, it's getting in my way if anything. |

22:51.21 | LunaLovegood | Is it normal that "apt-get install openssh-server" wants to install libsystemd0 ? |
22:51.47 | SuicideJunkie | For the person who was asking last night, in the manual paritioning menu, there's a separate option for delete data, and delete the partition entirely when you select it. |
22:52.08 | SuicideJunkie | Not sure where the problem is, but I'm not actually going to press delete myself since I want those partitions to stay :) |
