00:51.27 | mtnman | another question: |
00:52.31 | gnarface | mtnman: which live image, exactly? |
00:52.34 | mtnman | the instructions to run the live image suggest doing "gpg --import devuan-devs.gpg". is there a way to accomplish with a debian system? |
00:52.44 | gnarface | mtnman: and what is your computer model? |
00:52.47 | mtnman | gnarface: amd64 |
00:52.53 | *** join/#devuan DocScrutinizer05 (~saturn@openmoko/engineers/joerg) |

00:53.20 | mtnman | correct |
00:53.32 | mtnman | its a toshiba |
00:53.37 | gnarface | did you check the checksums on that file? |
00:54.05 | mtnman | i did, but cannot verify the signing key. see my second question above. |
00:54.12 | gnarface | right, yes that should work in debian |
00:54.18 | gnarface | obviously you have to find a copy of the actual key first |
00:55.07 | *** join/#devuan theLambda (~theLambda@i577BCD5E.versanet.de) |
00:55.37 | mtnman | ok. well i did not veryfy the image before booting it. i redownloaded and verified. am now going to look for the signing key. |
00:56.23 | mtnman | thanks gnarface |
00:56.35 | gnarface | https://devuan.org/os/ |
00:57.02 | gnarface | from this page, it says there should be a copy in /usr/share/keyrings/devuan-archive-keyring.gpg |
00:57.27 | gnarface | i'm not sure if that counts for the live image too, but worth a try |
00:57.48 | gnarface | it's on some public keyservers thoo though |
00:57.53 | gnarface | *too |
00:58.04 | mtnman | ok checking the image for the keyring |
00:58.53 | gnarface | (it is also in the "devuan-keyring" package in the devuan repos, and that package should be installable in debian if you download it from a public mirror) |
01:00.29 | gnarface | you could still have hit a bug but failure for it to even find the kernel on the disk suggests something wrong with the disk |
01:00.34 | gnarface | like it's for the wrong architecture or it's corrupted |
01:00.47 | mtnman | cant find it in the iso. i suspect corruption. |
01:01.02 | mtnman | i will download and install on debian box. |
01:01.02 | gnarface | you wouldn't be the first one to find out their ISP was inserting garbage in their download streams |
01:01.32 | mtnman | i think there could have been corruption when using dd to write the image to usb stick. |
01:01.42 | gnarface | also a possibility |
01:02.10 | mtnman | back in a bit.... |
01:02.17 | gnarface | i have some advice about dd: always run "sync" afterwards and don't write with a block size bigger than 1MB |
01:02.35 | mtnman | yes i neglected to sync but will do so this time. thanks. |
01:02.41 | gnarface | that has also been a recurring issue |
01:02.52 | mtnman | thanks back in a bit... |

01:20.36 | mtnman | what is the devuan equivalent of packages.debian.org? |
01:21.43 | gnarface | well there really isn't one yet. http://packages.devuan.org/ exists but the interface is a bit unfinished... |
01:22.15 | gnarface | for the most part the debian one will have the same info though |
01:22.19 | gnarface | so you can use it in a pinch for now |
01:22.27 | Jjp137 | there's this, too: https://pkginfo.devuan.org/ |
01:22.44 | gnarface | oh i didn't know about that one |
01:23.14 | mtnman | thanks! |
01:23.29 | gnarface | heh, their form is a little broken |
01:23.33 | gnarface | but it works |
01:23.52 | gnarface | well not the form, but the html in the generated response is broken |
01:24.18 | gnarface | not badly enough to completely break rendering in firefox, but enough to screw up the header |
01:24.44 | gnarface | hopefully whoever made this is checking the input more carefully than the output |
01:25.59 | mtnman | so packages.d.o and pkginfo.d.o do not contain the actual packages. where can i find those? |
01:26.17 | gnarface | the first one absolutely contains the packages |
01:26.21 | gnarface | but you will have to dig harder |
01:26.32 | gnarface | (that's basically a raw repo directory there) |
01:27.16 | gnarface | did you actually complete an install? |
01:27.18 | gnarface | once you' |
01:27.45 | gnarface | once you're booted into devuan you can just search the package repo directly with apt-cache, aptitude, or synaptic |
01:28.38 | gnarface | searches from inside debian will probably work too if you know how to change the sources.list file |
01:34.43 | golinux | http://packages.devuan.org/ is deprecated. I need to get it forwarded to pkginfo.devuan.org |
01:35.14 | golinux | gnarface: For future reference ^^^ |
01:37.45 | gnarface | golinux: oh, good to know. uh... just fyi the response page for pkginfo.devuan.org is generating double html headers |
01:38.17 | gnarface | it slightly breaks header rendering, no big deal, but i worry this is a symptom the form may lack server-side input validation |
01:38.44 | gnarface | you guys should... have someone take a second look at that |
01:43.43 | golinux | Thanks. I'll pass on to KatolaZ who does all the integration on the server. |
01:44.15 | golinux | After checking it out myself, of course. |
01:48.08 | golinux | gnarface: OK. I just looked and only seeing one <html> on the search and results page |
01:48.41 | golinux | Oh wait . . . |
01:48.57 | gnarface | golinux: oh sorry, it's not on the initial result page, you have to click on a package name then |
01:49.34 | gnarface | it opens the html tag twice |
01:50.08 | gnarface | then you see the extra newline generate some visible white space above the header on the rendered view |
01:50.16 | golinux | Yes, that where it is. |
01:50.25 | golinux | 's |
01:51.18 | golinux | It adds a space on top of the header maybe 10px |
01:51.27 | gnarface | firefox gets past it but the source view highlights those lines in red, indicating it knows that is a syntax error (also probably invalidates that doctype tag) |
01:51.36 | golinux | Good find! |
01:51.56 | gnarface | thanks |
01:52.02 | gnarface | honestly i wish i could stop seeing that stuff though |
01:52.33 | golinux | That's really useful. Nothing short of perfection!!! |

01:59.04 | bozonius2 | once the installer is running, couldn't I go to /etc/apt and muck with the sources to point at beowulf and insstall that way? This skips the upgrade step from ascii to beowulf. Or are there more dependencies than that? |
01:59.12 | bozonius2 | (just curious, that's all) |
02:00.09 | gnarface | once the installer is running you could bypass it and complete the entire install by hand from one of the extra virtual terminals if you wanted |
02:00.18 | gnarface | if you're clever you could even use it to install windows |
02:00.26 | gnarface | or freedos |
02:00.49 | bozonius2 | eww, gnarface |
02:01.22 | bozonius2 | I admit to laziness. But I do not admit to complete foolishness. |
02:01.51 | gnarface | it is not uncommon for people to mount an in-progress install to add stuff to it |
02:02.04 | gnarface | usually it should not be necessary |
02:02.20 | gnarface | i'm not sure what the status on beowulf is right now |
02:02.24 | bozonius2 | but does my approach make sense? I mean,to get a "beowulf" installation... |
02:02.30 | bozonius2 | testing it, that's all |
02:02.51 | gnarface | what you're suggesting might work with no additional steps but i am assuming that if it was that easy the beowulf installer would be already released |
02:03.12 | bozonius2 | well, I am not looking for a complete beowulf release. |
02:03.15 | gnarface | i'm curious to find out though, i think you should test it and get back to me :) (purely selfish reasons) |
02:03.39 | bozonius2 | do you know of any really nasty side-effects, other than wasted time and some electricity? |
02:04.52 | bozonius2 | right now, I am trying ascii install to a test VM. |
02:05.06 | golinux | Sometimes the logest way, ends up being the shortest way. ;) |
02:05.17 | golinux | longest |
02:05.19 | gnarface | well if you're looking for deeper understanding, sure |
02:05.28 | bozonius2 | but I am choosing desktops besides xfce |
02:05.36 | *** join/#devuan minnesotags (~herbgarci@184-158-200-145.dyn.centurytel.net) |
02:06.09 | bozonius2 | if I choose xfce AND lxqt, it errors. The log in term (alt-F4) tells me task-xfce-desktop has unmet dependencies |
02:06.33 | bozonius2 | depends on slim, but won't be installed. |
02:06.39 | Jjp137 | oh I remember that |
02:06.41 | *** join/#devuan mtnman (~dbk@c-75-70-76-146.hsd1.co.comcast.net) |
02:06.45 | bozonius2 | is that a conflict between xfce and lxqt? |
02:06.56 | Jjp137 | I think it has to do with the polkit backends |
02:07.00 | bozonius2 | I mean, if it is not permitted, so be it. I just wish a more informative message |
02:09.17 | gnarface | yea people are running into this. some snarl with package dependencies but if you read the messaging carefully you can iron it out manually |
02:09.36 | gnarface | (i think) |
02:09.51 | gnarface | and yea i think it's to do with conflicting polkit backends |
02:09.55 | bozonius2 | so I could try installing slim |
02:09.58 | bozonius2 | and retry |
02:10.20 | gnarface | you might have to force a switch of one of those polkit packages to make it work |
02:10.31 | gnarface | i forget the specifics, sorry |
02:10.38 | gnarface | it was discussed in here repeatedly |
02:10.46 | bozonius2 | nw, gnarface. OK, no more. |
02:10.50 | bozonius2 | just xfce for now |
02:11.07 | gnarface | i didn't mean to discourage you from trying it |
02:11.18 | bozonius2 | would the other desktops cause dependency issues also? |
02:11.21 | bozonius2 | (polkit?) |
02:11.30 | Jjp137 | if they use the same backend, no; otherwise, possibly |
02:11.42 | gnarface | it's the graphical login manager's dependencies that are in conflict bozonius2, not the window manager itself |
02:11.53 | gnarface | you shouldn't need any polkit backend at all if you're not using a gui login prompt |
02:11.57 | bozonius2 | oh sure, I get that |
02:12.11 | bozonius2 | slim is a gui login prompt |
02:12.24 | bozonius2 | by default, the installer does install that (I believe) |
02:12.31 | bozonius2 | or does it... |
02:12.40 | bozonius2 | scratches his head, trying to recall... |
02:12.40 | gnarface | yea it's the default choice i believe |
02:12.44 | Jjp137 | task-xfce-desktop depends on slim, so yes |
02:12.48 | gnarface | i'm just not using default anything anywhere anymore, i'm old |
02:13.30 | bozonius2 | so Jjp137, if I were to NOT select xfce but lxqt and maybe mint(?) and some other desktops... |
02:13.40 | bozonius2 | such combos might work? |
02:14.10 | gnarface | it would be easier after completing the install to put in packages ala-carte |
02:14.16 | Jjp137 | the release notes explain it better than I do: https://files.devuan.org/devuan_ascii/Release_notes.txt |
02:14.19 | bozonius2 | yes it would |
02:14.24 | Jjp137 | and yea definitely |
02:15.04 | bozonius2 | but when a (dumb) user sees a menu of choices, well he's just gonna start salivating and want to click as many as he can... they are free, after all |
02:16.28 | gnarface | yes, a valid concern i think |
02:16.29 | bozonius2 | mate also wants slim... but I disabled the first choice (desktop) and disabled xfce |
02:17.01 | bozonius2 | wish I had had my test box around when RC was out and... maybe I could have helped test this more |
02:17.17 | gnarface | this particular issue may already be known |
02:18.34 | gnarface | some of these problems are inherited of course |
02:20.30 | bozonius2 | what exactly is checking the first box ("Devuan Desktop Environment") supposed to do? I mean checking or unchecking that exclusively of the indented choices of desktop below it? |
02:20.42 | bozonius2 | Is that explained somewhere? |
02:20.46 | *** join/#devuan amarsh04 (~amarsh04@ppp121-45-69-244.bras1.adl6.internode.on.net) |
02:21.46 | bozonius2 | well, I might have just answered myself. |
02:21.58 | bozonius2 | I think checking that first box selects "slim" |
02:22.28 | gnarface | here's what it really does |
02:22.37 | bozonius2 | when I unchecked "Devuan Desktop Envirnoment" ("Desktop") and checked only lxqt, it failed, telling me it would not install slim |
02:22.46 | bozonius2 | which is needed by lxqt |
02:22.48 | bozonius2 | BUT |
02:23.06 | gnarface | each one of those options points to a meta-package with the word "task" in the name, which in turn points to a number of other packages (which all may have additionl dependencies, recursively, ad nauseum) |
02:23.10 | bozonius2 | when I select that first box ("Desktop") AND only lxqt, it works |
02:23.37 | bozonius2 | isn't slim the GUI login? |
02:23.49 | bozonius2 | or is that really a backend? |
02:23.50 | gnarface | when all the dependencies and dependencies of dependencies are present and none are themselves in conflict it works |
02:24.09 | bozonius2 | (yeah, I knwo that part) |
02:24.13 | bozonius2 | know* |
02:24.38 | gnarface | lets see |
02:24.43 | bozonius2 | because now I am being asked to choose between lightdm and sddm |
02:24.50 | gnarface | first we need to figure out the task names |
02:25.18 | gnarface | but you might be right that different combinations of options can expose more choices than just a linear on/off for each checkbox |
02:25.59 | gnarface | ok |
02:26.14 | gnarface | so i assume "task-desktop" is the one for "Devuan desktop environment" |
02:26.19 | gnarface | since that's it's description |
02:26.45 | gnarface | if you run `apt-cache show task-desktop` you can see the package dependency headers |
02:26.59 | gnarface | Depends: tasksel (= 3.33+devuan0.3), xorg, xserver-xorg-video-all, xserver-xorg-input-all, desktop-base |
02:27.06 | gnarface | Recommends: task-xfce-desktop | task-kde-desktop | task-lxde-desktop | task-cinnamon-desktop | task-mate-desktop | task-gnome-desktop, xdg-utils, avahi-daemon, libnss-mdns, anacron, eject, iw, alsa-utils |
02:27.50 | bozonius2 | desktop-base, whatever that is, seems to be the 'main' thing it will install |
02:28.02 | gnarface | now what i don't know is, if Recommends are on (which i think they are by default here) how it decides which of the tasks that are ORed together here with | get selected |
02:28.13 | bozonius2 | right |
02:28.16 | Jjp137 | (yea recommends is on by default) |
02:28.31 | gnarface | but |
02:28.42 | bozonius2 | ok, I think the "Desktop" checkbox is just to get xorg and base installed, that's it. |
02:28.54 | gnarface | i assume that one of these additional tasks also refers directly or indirectly to slim , while others do not |
02:29.02 | bozonius2 | If none of the checkboxes are selected below that, it defaults to xfce |
02:29.09 | bozonius2 | (maybe hard coded in installer?) |
02:29.20 | gnarface | yea, xfce is supposed to be the "official" default |
02:29.27 | gnarface | flagship product or something like that |
02:29.42 | bozonius2 | so hardcoded in installer, not any special dependency per se |
02:29.49 | gnarface | yea |
02:29.57 | gnarface | that is my assumption |
02:30.12 | bozonius2 | slim is described as x-display manager |
02:30.15 | gnarface | i guess technically it could be in the repo metadata somhow, but i think it is in the installer |
02:30.28 | bozonius2 | (that's my guess too) |
02:30.53 | bozonius2 | but sddm and lightdm are also display managers... |
02:31.04 | gnarface | yea, so there is also a "Provides" header |
02:31.07 | gnarface | on the packages |
02:31.22 | gnarface | that has sort of a official generic tag name for the type of program |
02:31.25 | gnarface | not everything has one i think |
02:31.42 | Jjp137 | about the ORed recommends: https://git.devuan.org/devuan-packages/tasksel/blob/suites/ascii/debian/control#L43 |
02:31.53 | gnarface | but you can `apt-cache search x-display-manager` to find others |
02:32.39 | gnarface | often, you can install multiple of these types of packages but one MUST always be the "default" |
02:32.46 | bozonius2 | I don't seem to have either sddm or lightdm installed on my ascii test box |
02:34.01 | gnarface | i would only expect to see one installed normally |
02:34.22 | gnarface | i like xdm because it's ... reliable |
02:34.41 | gnarface | but i don't use one on most machines |
02:34.46 | bozonius2 | I get to the point where it is asking me for choice between sddm and lightdm. But I already have slim installed at this point, IIUC |
02:35.29 | bozonius2 | (I definitely get a graphical login though!) |
02:35.54 | gnarface | i honestly haven't really tested the installer this thoroughly myself either |
02:35.55 | bozonius2 | I'm choosing lightdm for the VM |
02:36.13 | gnarface | mostly i just manually do everything after a minimal install |
02:36.44 | gnarface | you find that the way dependencies work, you can boil your system down to only a handful of packages you really have to remember to recreate it |
02:37.06 | bozonius2 | that's why I like dependency checking |
02:37.22 | bozonius2 | some package systems don't have it |
02:37.27 | bozonius2 | or only minimally so |
02:38.25 | bozonius2 | this ought to be interesting. My test VM will have lxqt with lightdm (and I have no idea what will happen with slim) |
02:38.26 | *** join/#devuan emerson (emerson@freenode/staff/emerson) |
02:38.48 | bozonius2 | I'm guessing lightdm will present me with login, and slim has been disabled? |
02:39.08 | bozonius2 | btw, gnarface, this VM is to test beowulf by doing the upgrade step |
02:39.29 | bozonius2 | it's not a serious example by any means. Just to learn and play a bit. |
02:40.10 | bozonius2 | also, this beowulf VM is running under VirtualBox on Ascii, on the test box. |
02:41.09 | gnarface | yea probably the default will be the most recently installed one |
02:41.27 | gnarface | there is a way to change the default though |
02:42.05 | bozonius2 | IIRC, we had problems with the display manager sddm (I think that was on Jessie) and I had to remove it |
02:42.09 | bozonius2 | or something... |
02:42.17 | bozonius2 | (memory is not one of |
02:42.22 | bozonius2 | best attributes) |
02:43.20 | bozonius2 | almost there... |
02:45.36 | bozonius2 | booting |
02:45.50 | bozonius2 | looks like it might be lightdm |
02:47.25 | bozonius2 | yep lightdm |
02:48.42 | gnarface | that makes sense |
02:48.51 | bozonius2 | ok |
02:48.57 | bozonius2 | thanks again |
02:49.04 | bozonius2 | so now to upgrade |
02:49.19 | gnarface | check out the "alternatives" system for how to switch between currently-installed defaults |
02:49.35 | gnarface | usually it's just a symlink in /etc/alternatives but there's some tools for automatically handling changes |
02:49.37 | bozonius2 | sed -i 's/ascii/beowulf/g' /etc/apt/source.list ? |
02:49.44 | gnarface | hmmm |
02:49.47 | gnarface | maybe? |
02:50.00 | gnarface | this is on the test system, right? |
02:50.04 | bozonius2 | right |
02:50.12 | bozonius2 | I can backup the sources first |
02:50.14 | gnarface | i'm curious to know if it'lll work |
02:50.41 | bozonius2 | huh |
02:50.47 | gnarface | well wait, make sure they're right first |
02:50.49 | bozonius2 | only 1 line in the sources.list file? |
02:51.17 | gnarface | http://paste.debian.net/1031826/ |
02:51.20 | gnarface | make it like that |
02:51.24 | bozonius2 | but... |
02:51.39 | bozonius2 | my ascii test box (hardware) has more than one line! |
02:52.06 | bozonius2 | installer detects this is a VM and chooses to do different things? |
02:52.08 | gnarface | during install it would have asked you if you wanted to include updates (previously known as "volatile") and security fixes |
02:52.17 | bozonius2 | it didn't |
02:52.20 | gnarface | hmmm |
02:52.21 | gnarface | odd |
02:52.32 | gnarface | wait one isn't a debootstrap install, is it? |
02:52.32 | bozonius2 | but that could be because I had to back out and restart some steps? |
02:52.42 | bozonius2 | one what? |
02:52.48 | gnarface | one of those installs |
02:52.49 | gnarface | the VM one |
02:53.08 | gnarface | you didn't use debootstrap instead of the installer to make the VM guest image did you? |
02:53.11 | bozonius2 | apt-cache search x-display-manager |
02:53.18 | bozonius2 | no, I used the iso |
02:53.37 | bozonius2 | devuan_ascii_2.0.0_amd64_netinst.iso |
02:53.58 | bozonius2 | (nix that line apt-cahce... that was a bad paste, sorry) |
02:55.10 | bozonius2 | my sources.list looks like: "deb http://us.deb.devuan.org/merged ascii main" |
02:55.12 | bozonius2 | that's it |
02:55.14 | bozonius2 | one-lilner |
02:55.17 | bozonius2 | one-liner |
02:56.54 | bozonius2 | now, what's this? I installed the hosting software for vbox on my Ascii (test box) and there is no guest additions ISO? |
02:57.05 | bozonius2 | I thought that comes with the host vbox package... |
02:57.38 | gnarface | it doesn't, you have to install them in the guest manually |
02:57.53 | gnarface | (ubuntu includes them by default in all installs i guess?) |
02:58.07 | bozonius2 | no, I mean the ISO image is included in the package from CentOS |
02:58.19 | gnarface | i dunno but yea i'm pretty sure you gotta install them manually in the guest |
02:58.28 | bozonius2 | that I know, gnarface. |
02:58.29 | bozonius2 | always |
02:59.00 | bozonius2 | what I am saying/asking/confirming is that the guest additions ISO image is not included in the vbox hosting package then? |
02:59.06 | Jjp137 | do you mean that the ISO itself isn't residing somewhere in the host? if so, you need to install the virtualbox-guest-additions-iso package, which is in non-free |
02:59.33 | gnarface | ah, thanks for that Jjp137 |
02:59.35 | bozonius2 | Jjp137: what I needed, exactly. thanks |
02:59.44 | mtnman | developer keyring is here: https://files.devuan.org/devuan-devs.gpg in case you are still interested. |
02:59.52 | Jjp137 | np |
03:00.58 | bozonius2 | is non-free pinned? I don't find the iso package |
03:01.15 | bozonius2 | I tried "-t non-free" but that doesn't help |
03:04.07 | Jjp137 | um do you have non-free in your sources.list? and also you would use -t for like ascii-backports, not main/contrib/non-free |
03:04.28 | bozonius2 | so how do I get the package ? |
03:04.40 | bozonius2 | apt-get cannot find the package |
03:05.50 | Jjp137 | check that your sources.list line for ascii-backports is similar to: deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii-backports main non-free contrib |
03:06.03 | bozonius2 | it is commented out, that's why |
03:06.11 | Jjp137 | oh |
03:06.37 | Jjp137 | yea for ascii, the virtualbox-related packages are only in backports |
03:06.47 | bozonius2 | I see... |
03:07.37 | bozonius2 | only problem with this is that when a new release of vbox comes out, I have to enable backports, update, upgrade, disable |
03:07.40 | bozonius2 | easier way? |
03:07.48 | bozonius2 | that -t option with pinning? |
03:08.01 | bozonius2 | or do I have it wrong |
03:09.15 | bozonius2 | or can I leave it as is, and not worry that apt might install something I DONT want from backports instead of the regular repos? |
03:09.22 | Jjp137 | leaving backports enabled is fine from my experience (also see: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=10286#p10286) |
03:09.24 | bozonius2 | or is backports exclusive of the others |
03:09.31 | bozonius2 | thanks, reading... |
03:09.57 | bozonius2 | super thanks again |
03:09.58 | Jjp137 | there used to be bugs on the repository's end where the wrong priority was set for backports, but that has been long fixed |
03:10.09 | bozonius2 | : ) |
03:10.14 | Jjp137 | and np! |
03:11.41 | bozonius2 | the bootup and shutdown of ascii (and jessie) is lightning fast |
03:12.06 | ivanshmakov | Thereâre apt_preferences(5), too, so one can set priorities for oneself (like: take these packages from backports, and the rest from the usual place.) |
03:12.21 | bozonius2 | it's almost as if theree were some kind of... |
03:12.41 | bozonius2 | oh, I don't know, maybe a system daemon running in the background speeding up the boot and shutdown? |
03:12.48 | bozonius2 | or is that wrong? |
03:12.50 | bozonius2 | :D |
03:14.37 | bozonius2 | thanks ivanshmakov. |
03:14.44 | bozonius2 | I need to look into that also |
03:14.57 | bozonius2 | centos also has a kind of prioritizing in yum |
03:15.15 | Mo_ | i think this will help with vbox https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=2184 |
03:15.25 | ivanshmakov | bozonius2: Personally, I use it only to blacklist packages; say: Package: gconf-service ssl-cert tsconf // Pin: release c=main // Pin-Priority: -42. |
03:19.52 | bozonius2 | thanks Mo_ |

04:09.57 | bozonius2 | what does "important" mean in this context? |
04:10.34 | bozonius2 | Is there some hierarchical list of packages that dictates what is more important than others? |
04:12.00 | furrywolf | there is a priority field in the control file, but it's just a level, not a hierarchy. |
04:12.30 | bozonius2 | apt- |
04:12.37 | bozonius2 | apt_preferences |
04:12.40 | bozonius2 | I see. |
04:12.48 | bozonius2 | which is that whole pinning idea |
04:13.12 | bozonius2 | for my purposes of testing beowulf, I think mere upgrade is probably ok |
04:15.37 | furrywolf | no, pinning in a separate thing. the priority field is just a general indication of a package's requiredness. "required" means the system will totally break without it. "important" means the system will be somewhat broken without it. "standard" means it's the typical base set of packages for a relatively small install. "optional" is everything else. |
04:16.09 | bozonius2 | so should I dist-upgrade? |
04:16.56 | furrywolf | I have absolutely no idea what you're doing, so I don't know. I just saw a question asking if there's a list of what packages are more important. |
04:17.03 | bozonius2 | keep in mind, this is just a test, for fun and education only |
04:17.13 | bozonius2 | I won't be using this system for anything really important |

05:13.38 | grillon | there are very few documentation and may be my level is too low to do something like that. It was long to make the host works then very long to make kvm works and now I'm searching a way to have network. |

06:04.18 | gnarface | though you will often need a few other things |

19:19.56 | phogg | M0E-lnx: I am not an expert, but it seems to me that you should be able to copy the existing debian/ dir out of the source package for the version you have a .deb for and copy it to the new source tree, then follow https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/build.en.html#completebuild to make the package. Of course you may need to make changes to things in the debian/ dir (maybe a little, maybe a lot). |

20:33.55 | unmy | that is why I was curious about "missing" updates repository |
20:34.19 | fsr | I guess they got updates that were not for security. Maybe bugfixes. |
20:34.46 | fsr | actually, I'm not sure - they might appear in -security later |
20:35.28 | unmy | ok, I will keep in mind to add it after any other installation or use expert mode, thank you for clearing it out fsr :) |

23:20.53 | roundduckman-dev | I need help, that's the problem, Debian/Devuan driver installing can be a bit of a mess |
23:21.27 | djph | roundduckman-dev: nope, I don't have an optimus box anymore (I used to, but the mobo died, and went with the no-gpu option, since it was $20 ... and I wasn't sure if it was the mobo, or CPU that got ruined) |

23:25.16 | roundduckman-dev | I'm in package confusion and I can't seem to install bumblebee and Nvidia drivers, getting stuff like |
23:25.32 | roundduckman-dev | "The following packages have unmet dependencies" |
23:25.46 | roundduckman-dev | I'm in a bit of a dependency pickle |
23:26.03 | djph | yay, dependency hell |
23:26.32 | roundduckman-dev | It's like I'm back in Ubuntu-land again, especially considering that was also Debian-based |
23:27.28 | gnarface | ok first of all, when installing from backports, make sure you use the option "-t ascii-backports" |
23:27.38 | gnarface | we're talking about ascii, right? |
23:27.49 | gnarface | second of all, nvidia is stupid |
23:27.56 | gnarface | their maintainers are not only that, but they're also angry |
23:28.04 | gnarface | so their packages are garbage |
23:28.12 | gnarface | you have to manually double-check their dependencies every time |
23:28.24 | gnarface | they almost always get something wrong - to the point i'm sure they're doing it on purpose out of spite |
23:29.00 | gnarface | so after you think you have nvidia drivers from backports, go through all your packages with `dpkg -l |grep nvidia -i` and manually update all the ones that are still at the old version |
23:29.02 | roundduckman-dev | Yes, it's ASCII. And I'm doing that. The problem was that after installing Nvidia-driver, then I can't install Bumblebee. Then I deleted Nvidia-driver and installed bumblebee, then I deleted Bumblebee since htat's not how it works, and now I can't install Nvidia-driver again |
23:29.22 | gnarface | make sure you have a working complete set of the same nvidia driver versions first |

23:31.09 | gnarface | (and no, it's not smart enough to figure that out on it's own either without you appending "-t ascii-backports" to every single apt-get call) |
23:31.42 | gnarface | the package dependency issues you're seeing most likely extend from this^ |
23:32.06 | filipdevuan | maybe you should install bumblebee with nvidia let me give you a command and wiki its debian wiki |
23:32.30 | gnarface | hmmm, yes the debian wiki may very well still be accurate on this matter |
23:32.43 | gnarface | i have not personal experience with bumblebee so i can only help with theoreticals |
23:32.51 | filipdevuan | https://wiki.debian.org/Bumblebee sudo apt-get install bumblebee-nvidia primus |
23:33.01 | roundduckman-dev | I deleted anything that is Nvidia related (not nouveau though) |
23:33.15 | roundduckman-dev | Just did it, hopefully nvidia-driver will install |
23:33.36 | filipdevuan | i think if you type bumblebee-nvidia primus that should be with nvidia graphics as well |
23:33.38 | filipdevuan | ;P |
23:33.51 | roundduckman-dev | crap, didn't fix it, so I'll start reading on wiki |
23:34.07 | filipdevuan | whats your issue?? fix what? |
23:34.39 | filipdevuan | oh damn |
23:35.11 | gnarface | filipdevuan: you managed to get gpu passthrough working with bumblebee? |
23:35.53 | roundduckman-dev | filipdevuan, it's the fact I couldn't reinstall the "nvidia-driver" package |
23:36.03 | filipdevuan | yeah its easy but bumblebee doesnt support nouveau anymore i feel i dont feel like using proprietary nvidia drivers though im alright with intel just for now, linux doesnt have that graphics demanding games |
23:36.24 | filipdevuan | so i dont use bumblebee cuz i dont wanna install nvidia drivers ;p |
23:36.47 | filipdevuan | yeah try through synaptic package manager its easier ;D |
23:36.48 | gnarface | <PROTECTED> |
23:37.13 | roundduckman-dev | I have quite a few, like Overgrowth. My main problem with nvidia drivers is that it's too damn hard to install and sometimes a bit buggy |
23:37.49 | gnarface | in general i've found that most packages in non-free have diminished quality compared to the open source stuff |
23:38.12 | filipdevuan | yeah well when i installed bumblebee with nvidia drivers then i was just typing optirun bash after that just i was playing games through wine so wine app.exe |
23:38.12 | gnarface | try to avoid it for getting work done whenever possible |
23:39.28 | djph | gnarface: well iwlwifi is solid ... |
23:39.29 | roundduckman-dev | Now I'm stuck even more, and I feel I screwed it up. I can't install bumblebee or nvidia drivers, not even separately, I'm in deep shit |
23:39.43 | roundduckman-dev | Time to reinstall again... |
23:39.44 | gnarface | djph: you must not have tested it in jessie |
23:39.46 | filipdevuan | did u try apt-get purge?? |
23:39.54 | roundduckman-dev | I'll try that. |
23:40.11 | filipdevuan | apt-get purge bumblebee or apt-get purge nvidia i think |
23:40.26 | djph | gnarface: jessie, and ascii ... but ascii ate a bunch of things I use (e.g. VLC) during the beta, and I broke something else, so back to Jessie |
23:41.07 | gnarface | djph: i was learning how to use refracta to make a custom ascii live image while jessie was still in beta because iwlwifi *specifically* from jessie has showstoppers on some hardware that still exist in the jessie version |
23:41.32 | djph | gnarface: 7260 here, so none of those for me. |
23:41.33 | gnarface | though i think they may be fixed in jessie-backports now |
23:41.43 | djph | gnarface: but I might've just gotten lucky |
23:41.54 | gnarface | anyway, haven't seen the problem in ascii but the customer did complain his wifi switch light behavior changed fundamentally |
23:42.28 | gnarface | i think that was unrelated to the bug fix though |
23:44.49 | roundduckman-dev | Nothing is left that is nvidia-related, yet can't install river |
23:44.57 | roundduckman-dev | Nothing is left that is nvidia-related, yet can't install driver, oops |
23:45.26 | gnarface | what is the specific message? |
23:47.07 | gnarface | i'm gonna need to see the message or all i can give you is pointless speculation |
23:47.59 | roundduckman-dev | results for installing driver and installing bumblebee-nvidia: https://pastebin.com/FR6253r4 |
23:48.56 | gnarface | that's two separate outputs of two separate commands, neither of which are included here, but both of which are relevant |
23:49.17 | *** join/#devuan IoFran (~Thunderbi@189.154.21.141) |
23:49.28 | roundduckman-dev | Yep, trying to create picture of the dependency mess |
23:49.39 | gnarface | ok to be clear i'm going to have to see those commands too |
23:49.51 | gnarface | and probably the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list file |
23:50.21 | roundduckman-dev | 1st command was "sudo apt -t ascii-backports install nvidia-driver," the second was "udo apt -t ascii-backports install bumblebee-nvidia primus" |
23:50.37 | roundduckman-dev | *sudo for the second |
23:50.42 | gnarface | ok, now the sources.list file? |
23:51.12 | fugitive | check do you have "non-free contrib" in sources. Forgot about them recently as well |
23:51.50 | roundduckman-dev | https://pastebin.com/fiqsjMRj, also I did do "dpkg add-architecture i386" |
23:52.18 | gnarface | i'm thinking he just needs to re-run the first command as "apt-get -t ascii-backports install nvidia-driver bumblebee nvidia-driver-libs libgl1-nvidia-glx" |
23:52.55 | gnarface | but there have been problems for me with some of the US mirrors, you might need to change the host name in the sources.list to avoid them |
23:53.18 | gnarface | otherwise, the sources.list looks fine so the problem is likely just the install command |
23:53.36 | gnarface | put enough of the nvidia packages on the same line and it should work |
23:53.44 | roundduckman-dev | https://pastebin.com/9hxmZ7f8 These are results and command. |
23:53.58 | roundduckman-dev | hold on |
23:54.04 | filipdevuan | did u test if optirun works |
23:54.11 | roundduckman-dev | Let me try again, messed up on last package |
23:54.25 | gnarface | roundduckman-dev: 390.48-2~bpo9+3 see this? |
23:54.33 | fugitive | yea, should do the job, like said, had the same issue few days ago, and dependency mess was caused by missing non-free && contrib directive.. |
23:54.39 | roundduckman-dev | Yeah, that's backports |
23:55.01 | gnarface | roundduckman-dev: "bpo" means backports. every time you see it say it depends on a backports version that will not be installed, add it to the list of packages on that command-line and re-run it |
23:55.20 | gnarface | keep doing that until it runs out of complaints, or complains about something NOT in backports |
23:55.29 | roundduckman-dev | https://pastebin.com/sjXZ4h1z New paste with corrected command, will look at your message, gnarface, afterwards |
23:55.58 | roundduckman-dev | "roundduckman-dev: "bpo" means backports. every time you see it say it depends on a backports version that will not be installed, add it to the list of packages on that command-line and re-run it" |
23:56.17 | roundduckman-dev | What the hell, you have to do that? O_o |
23:56.27 | fugitive | stupid, but worth mentioning, apt update first :) |
23:56.40 | gnarface | roundduckman-dev: yea basically what is happening here is that it's looking for dependencies of backport packages in the main repo because backports is not the default even if it's in your sources.list. trust me, the alternative would be an even bigger mess. |
23:57.40 | gnarface | roundduckman-dev: so get them all manually on the same command-line even if you have to, but then after it's working i advise you immediately then comment-out backports from your sources.list and re-run `apt-get update` so you don't accidentally get anything else from there later |
23:57.54 | roundduckman-dev | Fuck it, I'm going to TEMPORIALLY change priority for backports. |
23:58.06 | roundduckman-dev | It would be easier in theory. |
23:58.14 | gnarface | well if you break it you get to keep all the pieces |
23:58.21 | roundduckman-dev | lol. :P |
23:58.30 | roundduckman-dev | That would be true |
23:59.03 | gnarface | i really don't think you want EVERYTHING updated from backports though |
23:59.09 | gnarface | honestly that's asking for trouble |
23:59.25 | gnarface | but the nvidia drivers do depend on a couple xorg packages and probably the kernel from there |
