09:02.50sixwheeledbeast^I wouldn't think that it would, what if eth0 is down for example. Maybe expand on why you think that and which init you have. Someone may be able to point you in the right direction then.
09:03.30SmilexI think that it would, because I just installed devuan, which involved a couple of restarts, and everytime it did

09:24.41sixwheeledbeast^Obviously errors or issues are possible, as I say maybe try checking the boot logs and expanding on your system configuration.
09:26.19sixwheeledbeast^I am imagining minutes of delay but you didn't mention how long either, for example
09:36.49xkr47hi, regarding donations, have you considered Patreon and similar monthly payment things?

What I want is to make a 1:1 copy of the old disk to the new one so that I can just swap the disks. What is the best approach to accomplish this? is dd sufficient enough and what parameters should I have
11:09.19UsLthe clone procedure is done on a second laptopn with devuan installed on it.

13:44.53nemowhat I'm curious about is
13:44.56nemowhy did this not crash before
13:45.15nemoit appears to be new grep behaviour - wondering if it's a devuan grep specific thing or a general grep change
13:45.52nemothat is,  cat foo | grep -r   instead of just grepping stdin, does a recursive on current folder.
13:46.03nemoused to be grep -r foo  would expect stdin. but not anymore
13:46.08nemoI wonder if devuan does some alias
13:46.30nemono... /bin/grep -r foo  does same thing

13:53.41nemoYou can't even find newer than 3.5 on the VMWare site
13:53.50nemoat one point they had a packaging partnership with ubuntu but that's gone
13:54.12nemoso I just hang onto the .debs and dpkg -i the required libpng12 and openssl0.9.8 even though they are probably not safe ☹

15:35.01nemoaaaagh whatever happened to ia32-libs in debian land?
15:35.11nemolooks like vmware-view was built 32 bit only
15:36.07gnarfacegoogle multiarch
15:36.26nemognarface: did
15:36.31gnarfacehttps://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/HOWTO
15:36.34gnarfacedid you find this one?
15:36.54nemoyes
15:37.21nemoalready enabled the arch - what was less-than-clear was what libs that used to be in ia32-libs now had to be installed

15:39.52gnarface"ia32-libs" was just a stopgap fix and not a good one
15:40.08nemognarface: that package doesn't actually exist
15:40.09gnarfaceit was a bundle of the most commonly required 32-bit dependencies
15:40.16nemoI'm running:
15:40.17gnarfaceyea, it's deprecated now.  with multiarch
15:40.18nemodpkg -i 64_vmware-view-client_4.0.1-235010_i386_nousb.deb
15:40.30gnarfacewith multiarch, you just install [packagename]:i386
15:40.34nemook...
15:40.41nemoand for a .deb like that?
15:40.53gnarfacethe point of multiarch is that the *:amd64 and *:i386 packages should play nice now (mostly they do)
15:41.00nemoby "that package" I mean vmware-view:i386 does not exist
15:41.06gnarfaceoh i see
15:41.09nemowhat I need is to install this i386 .deb
15:41.12nemoand be able to actually run it
15:41.19nemoonce upon a time ia32-libs was the trivial way to do so
15:41.26nemoI have no idea even what command to replace that with now
15:41.39nemoand the multiarch wiki page does not explain what it used to offer
15:41.42gnarfaceright
15:41.48nemoor what I would install to get approximately same behaviour
15:42.07gnarfacewhen you ran "dpkg -i 64_vmware-view-client_4.0.1-235010_i386_nousb.deb" after enabling multi-arch, it should have either worked, or told you what you're missing
15:42.43nemoremoves it and reinstalls
15:43.09nemognarface: it did not

17:35.40systemdlete2good news is I have backups.
17:36.03systemdlete2bad news is that I did not set up the backups for the new VM (ascii) -- so more bad news
17:36.19systemdlete2luckily, I still had backups from my jessie VM   so good news
17:36.22gnarfacethe debian release notes helpfully list a few directories and some command outputs they recommend you back up just in case here: https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#data-backup
17:36.27UsLindeed.. Well, as long as rsync wont modify anything on the source disk I guess it's fine
17:36.43UsLah, thanks
17:36.49systemdlete2bad news is I had been running ascii for about 3 days already, so might have lost some important work in my home directory.
17:36.53gnarfaceUsL: it won't mess anything up if you get the syntax right....
17:37.08systemdlete2good news is that it turns out I hadn't, so
17:37.16gnarfaceUsL: (make sure you know which direction you're pointing it before you pull the trigger)
17:37.22systemdlete2anyway.  Always make sure your backups actually work!!!
17:37.36gnarfacethat is a good tip too
17:38.19UsLyeah, I'll try to not eff this up. Thanks for input
17:38.37UsLhere I go
17:39.17gnarfacethe debian release notes say to back up /etc, /var/lib/dpkg, /var/lib/apt/extended_states, and `dpkg --get-selections "*"` and loosely suggest maybe /home too, but i would add to that /opt, /usr/local, and `debconf-get-selections`
17:39.52gnarface(and i would heavily recommend /home not just lazily suggest "maybe")
17:40.04systemdleteI'm backing up those and some other stuff as I need.  And yes, always /home!
17:40.17gnarfacei maybe would even suggest /var/log too, if it's a server
17:40.27systemdleteI mean, if you use your system for anything besides playing admin (like me, on most of my systems)
17:41.54systemdletegood point, I have not been backing up /var/log
17:42.08systemdleteI wonder how much of  a space hit that would be for my backup cloud
17:42.35systemdleteare you talking about ALL logs or just /var/log/*.log for instance?
17:42.41gnarfacedepends on a lot, like how long you have logrotate keeping logs for, and how much traffic you get
17:42.55gnarfaceif it's just a web server mabye you only care about /var/log/apache2
17:43.14gnarfacelogs don't typically take up much space though
17:43.22systemdleteI'd need to ruminate over this a bit...  I'm not doing anything quite THAT important really
17:43.23gnarfacea couple gigs at most unless you're doing something really werid
17:43.28gnarface*weird
17:43.33koollmanlocal logs aren't as important in general. If they matter, setup a log server somewhere else
17:43.46koollman(on the other hand, they usually compress really really well)
17:43.46systemdletegood idea koollman
17:44.15systemdleteI'd have to look at each of my systems individually because they run different loggers and have different things logged
17:44.22systemdlete(different distros)
17:44.48koollmanit's pretty nice to be able to read the few last messages of a server that went missing ... helps finding out what may be wrong :)
17:45.05koollman(same idea for performance metrics)
17:46.37systemdlete+1 on perf logs
17:47.31systemdleteI tend to think the historical (logrotated) logs won't be much help if I lose a system.  If it is a public server of some kind, yeah, knowing the history of a problem can be helpful
17:48.04koollmanso then you can do something like "well I had mysql errors, the i/o wait and the number of process went way up, so I should look at that first after it comes back up"
17:48.11systemdleteusually it is the last messages before a crash, or in the hours before a crash that matters
17:48.39systemdleteright.  I will keep in mind the perf data (if I have any) when I re-configure my backups
17:51.17systemdleteThis is bringing up other related matters for me.  Like, I have never backed up any fw/router appliances like endian or ipfire
17:51.48*** join/#devuan clemens3 (~clemens@80-218-38-71.dclient.hispeed.ch)
17:52.09systemdleteMy thinking about those is that they can be re-installed from scratch and reconfigured in minutes which would probably be faster than rebuilding and restore.  But maybe I need to rethink that notion.
17:53.13koollmanyou can probably get the basic config back easily. But then ... finding out the tiny part of important config that you did 2 years ago to solve some specific problem ... much harder :)
17:53.34systemdleteoh how true that is!  Thank you.
17:54.05koollmanand it can start some cascading failure. "oh. since I restored my firewall, I did not notice my backups cannot work anymore because they are dropped" (and you notice of course, when you need to restore)
17:54.17systemdleteRealistially, I could set them up to backup the system area (/etc and /var mainly). I can re-use the same fileset as for the other systems...
17:54.58systemdleteyes, that moment when the hairs on your neck stand up, you feel flushed, and ready to have a heart attack.  That moment?
17:55.31koollmanI know it well enough to think with some realistic pessimism about what could go wrong on my systems ;)
17:56.03systemdleteI'm lucky because most of what I do with my "systems" is just for learning stuff and a few actual, real-world projects
17:57.12systemdleteI report bugs on occasion, so I guess that is useful
17:58.16gnarfaceif you're running webservers though, the historical apache logs are like a record of your money
17:58.30gnarfacesometimes you need that to provide to the business
17:58.54gnarfacesometimes just to compare it with google's data, sometimes for other research purposes
17:59.17systemdleteYes, there is a whole wealth of great info in THOSE logs.  About 20 years ago, I wrote a tool to cull user connection info from the logs
18:00.16systemdleteWe wanted to get some idea of how many people were connecting, and for how long -- these stats were only estimates, heuristics really.  There is no deterministic means to generate that data.
18:00.49systemdleteI still have that script... It might be fun to try it on one of my systems here...  lol
18:01.35koollmandepending on your country's laws, you also are required to keep access logs for a while. And also depending on the laws, you're required to not keep them for too long
18:02.13systemdletePATRIOT act
18:02.42systemdletebut that's only for publicly-facing servers, I think.  Some companies probably do it for internal security purposes.
18:02.44koollmanfor example, yes. or gdpr on the limiting side
18:03.22systemdleteI love this new GDPR law... heh.  The EU passes a sensible law (from what I can gather) and the US and everyone else is pretty much forced to follow suit.
18:03.48systemdletea kick in the teeth to US full spectrum command and control
18:04.01gnarfacemy only complaint is that it precipitated the early death of Miiverse
18:04.11gnarfaceit needed to happen though, better late than never
18:04.25systemdletea game?
18:04.54gnarfaceuh... Miiverse was the "social" feature of Nintendo's previous console
18:05.28gnarfacedue to GDPR they had to scrap it entirely, and on an earlier timeframe than they were planning on merging it with the new system
18:05.40systemdleteSo that kids could bully and harrass each other over the Internet while playing their favorite game

18:07.12systemdleteyeah, that's exactly what I was alluding to...
18:07.48systemdleteI've noticed that in the last 2 years or so, the behavior on IRC has improved dramatically.  Seems a lot of hotheads have either cooled down or moved on
18:08.02systemdleteI read that IRC's popularity has decreased a good bit recently

21:47.15gnarfaceit's probably safer to try it with aptitude but i don't know

21:49.18gnarfacehave you used aptitude before?
21:49.39gnarfaceit's like apt but it tries to provide intelligent suggestions in situations like this

21:50.10gnarfacetry installing lsb-desktop with aptitude instead of apt
21:50.17gnarfaceit won't work

21:57.49gnarfacei wonder if the only reason it can't use libpng16 is the package name
21:57.52gnarfacethat might be an easy thing to fix
21:58.18Pilgrimmhow do I fix that exactly
21:58.39gnarfacewell you'd have to repackage it
21:58.57gnarfacei mean it could be easy to fix in theory if you already knew how to do that
21:59.51gnarfaceincidentally, what do you actually need that for?
21:59.51Pilgrimmyeah I'm not familiar with repackaging heh
22:00.00Pilgrimmlsb?
22:00.07gnarfaceno lsb-desktop, specifically
22:00.24gnarfacei'm curious what's different about it since i don't seem to have ever run into it...
22:00.39Pilgrimmwell again when I try to install lsb, I believe it requres lsb-desktop as a dependency
22:01.09gnarfaceit could be broken
22:01.28gnarfaceis it basically just a list of packages?
22:01.38gnarfaceof other packages to install?
22:02.15Pilgrimmwhen I run sudo apt install lsb it just lists lsb-desktop having an unmet dependency
22:02.39Pilgrimmapt-get returns the same thing
22:02.47gnarfaceright, but we know it's libpng12 right?
22:03.03Pilgrimmthat's what aptitude states, yes
22:04.27Pilgrimmlsb-desktop (install, 4.1+devuan2) depends on libpng12-0 [UNAVAILABLE]
22:04.32gnarfacethis link claims debian abandoned lsb https://www.cendio.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5828
22:04.43gnarfaceit points to this discussion: https://lists.debian.org/debian-lsb/2015/07/msg00000.html
22:05.56gnarfacei could walk you through rebuilding the package to look for libpng16 instead, but i can't actually guarantee that will work.
22:06.10gnarfaceit might not build right
22:06.16gnarfaceor it might build right and just crash when you run it
22:06.50gnarfacefor that matter it might work perfectly and just hose your system, because apparently Debian stopped caring about it upstream with stretch
22:08.14PilgrimmYeah, I'd preferrably like to try to rebuild it considering these printer drivers basically need lsb...
22:08.25Pilgrimmthat's all it needs really, not sure if it needs anything else
22:08.36gnarfacewell

22:10.31Pilgrimmthat might be a better idea come to think of it
22:10.34Pilgrimmok
22:10.36Pilgrimmhow do I do that
22:10.48gnarfacethis might get weird
22:10.53MinceRthat's what she said.
22:11.10gnarfacebasically you want to follow the instructions for backporting but use jessie
22:11.27gnarfaceso you want to add just the deb-src line for jessie to your sources.list temporarily
22:11.45gnarfacethen (i think) "apt-get -t jessie source libpng12-0"
22:12.17gnarfacesomething like that anyway.  that will just download the source package and you can take the jessie deb-src line out of your sources.list again after
22:13.18gnarfacethen you might want to `apt-get build-dep libpng16-16`
22:13.26gnarfacethe deps should mostly be the same
22:13.33gnarfaceit's a good staring point anyway
22:13.42gnarfaceand i think you need `apt-get build-essential`
22:13.55gnarfaceor no, `apt-get install build-essential` i mean
22:14.18gnarfacethen if you're lucky all you have to do is cd into the libpng12 source dir and run dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
22:15.02gnarfacethat doesn't guarantee it will build right
22:15.16gnarfacebut it follows all the rules and if it does build right should at least give you packages that won't break anything else

23:45.22bkeysYeah I need to upgrade to stretch from jessie
23:49.04fsmithredstretch? or ascii?
23:49.26bkeysstretch
23:49.31bkeysI just need kernel > 4.8
23:49.44bkeyshttps://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Asus/C201#Installing_to_internal_memory_from_SD_card
23:49.52bkeysI want to interface with the eMMC of my C201 chromebook
23:50.25gnarfaceif you mean devuan, you mean ascii, not stretch
23:50.38fsmithredwell, I don't think anyone has tested that particular upgrade, but it should work
23:51.27fsmithredif you want to switch from devuan to debian, remove the pin on systemd-sysv in /etc/apt/preferences.d
23:55.10ErRandirif you just need the kernel yuo could just build and install just the kernel
23:55.26gnarfacei'm sure it's in backports too
23:55.39bkeysI'm just running the upgrade and seeing what it does, the chromebook is in the corning humming away at it
23:55.44bkeysWill be reporting how it goes
23:56.52fsmithredok, but are you upgrading to devuan or to debian? That's not clear.
23:57.24bkeysPretty sure it'll still be devuan when it's finished but I don't care what it is, so long as it works and it has a high enough kernel version
23:57.35bkeysMy intention in the end is to interface with the eMMC and install Fedora on the eMMC
23:57.57bkeysAnd not use any debian-based distros on it. It's just atm this is the only thing I could get to boot on the chromebook so that is what I am using
23:58.18bkeysAll I did was change my sources.list to point directly to the debian repos
23:58.44fsmithredok, don't mix debian and devuan repos
23:58.58bkeysIt's not mixed, I commented out all the stuff that was there by default
