07:47.01drawkulawould prefer eacxh user to have her own ~/tmp, ~/run, ~/var, ... and even ~/etc instead of those silly dotfiles
07:47.47drawkulasoemeday, when I'm boared to death, I might try to prototype a system that way...
07:48.10drawkulaist shure will not even be a sidenote in unix's history...
07:48.11drawkula:-(
07:48.46drawkulabut the FS is self similar in several other places. I never understood why this had to stop in the users' dirs!
07:49.10drawkulaaaaaand a package manager for user packages would be nice to have too!
07:49.25FatPhilhaving it host-specific does make sense, as I'm in ~ from 5 different hosts currently, and they musn't tread on each other's toes.
07:50.06helios21hi. well I think the FHS is pretty borked anyway
07:50.12drawkulathan have hostid subdirs...
07:50.14drawkula.-)
07:50.37drawkulaI gave up sharing $HOME
07:50.43drawkulatoo risky
07:50.46FatPhilI think there's some smell no matter where you put such things.
07:51.29drawkulasomeone said Kmail would trash all mail if you use a shaed home and dare to start 2 MUAs
07:51.33FatPhilprograms like firefox really don't cope well with the concept of shared home (and multiple instances of themself running)
07:51.34drawkulabut that was in KDE3 days
07:52.09drawkula$THEY trashed unix years ago
07:52.23drawkulathe console only beards only needed time to notice it
07:52.25drawkula:-)
07:52.48FatPhilSome of us are still shouting at clouds...
07:53.42drawkulahttp://www.nsa-cloud.com/
07:54.10drawkulamy cloud is named sdf.org
07:54.14drawkula:-P
07:55.27gnarfacei think you guys are making a big deal out of nothing.  XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is being set somewhere to /run/user/whatever.  if you don't set it it defaults to /tmp/$USER
07:55.43gnarfaceor something like that
07:55.58gnarfacejust figure out what is setting it to something you don't like, and change it
07:56.52gnarfaceit's not being put anywhere in /run/ here, so whatever is doing it to you guys is something optional you requested yourself
07:57.02FatPhildrawkula: I've gone one up - my cloud is called asdf.org
07:57.12gnarface(probably a window manager with obscene ties to freedesktop.org would be my guess)
07:57.43FatPhilgnarface: I can't see that setting anywhere - I grepped all over /etc for it
07:58.00gnarfaceFatPhil: it might be in your WM configuration
07:58.27gnarfaceit might actually be getting set from something that your WM runs at startup
07:58.36FatPhilI do notice libpam_systemd is installed, I might try to purge that and see if it makes a difference
07:58.40gnarfaceor it might have been added to your login scripts in ~/ even i don't know for sure
07:59.02gnarfacei don't have libpam_systemd here
07:59.29gnarfacebut it is ceres so ymmv
08:01.33FatPhilthe whole concept of modifying scripts in a ~/ that is shared by half a dozen machines to be a frightening concept.
08:01.42FatPhilmodulo grammar
08:03.03FatPhilhmm, actually that package isn't installed. got led down a blind alley.
08:03.07gnarfacesure but it builds character :)
08:03.20FatPhilcould it be consolekit that's making those tmpfss?
08:03.51gnarfacei really don't know but i wouldn't bet against it.  i don't have that installed here either.  (not using graphical login)
08:05.03gnarfaceand i'm pretty sure i've never seen enlightenment (any version) or blackbox set XDG_RUNTIME_DIR to anything outside of /tmp.  actually i recalled it usually being undefined and seeing a warning about it but i'm seeing here with a freshly updated ceres that something has defined it to /tmp/[some random string]
08:06.31gnarfacewhat WM are you using?  did you check it for an environment variables configuration panel?
08:07.11FatPhilI have no idea why consolekit was default selected - it brings in a whole load of crap. Seems to be pulled in by policykit, which is 'i A' on my system, apparently due to "elogind         Recommends policykit-1"
08:07.33gnarfacethat's ascii?
08:07.37gnarfacecheck the release notes
08:07.44gnarfaceit's the graphical login manager that is pulling all that in
08:08.11gnarfaceslim or lightdm or something like that
08:08.12gnarfacekdm
08:08.19gnarfacewhatever your window manager defaults to
08:09.12gnarfacethen it brings in some conflicting packages but you have to purge one of them
08:09.23helios21Now I found it in my training slides. Search engine startpage.com (Google) completely failed me on that: https://cr.yp.to/slashpackage/studies.html
08:09.38gnarfacehttps://files.devuan.org/devuan_ascii/Release_notes.txt
08:10.02gnarfaceFatPhil: you should really read this whole thing ^ but at least read the part under "### Session management and policykit backends"
08:10.08helios21I like the filesystem layout proposed at https://cr.yp.to/unix.html
08:10.50FatPhilgnarface: xdm there
08:16.07FatPhilwe don't do "Desktop Environment"s
08:21.30FatPhil{console,policy}kit gone. I don't think I need elogind either by the looks of it.
08:22.44gnarfacehmm. xdm may do something different, i'm not sure
08:22.48FatPhilAnything which says "Poettering touched me" I'm happier with it off the system. Alas the pulse cancer has metastasized too much.
08:23.02gnarfacemeh, i'm still getting by without it.
08:23.27FatPhillooks like xine and ffmpeg hard depend on lilbpulse
08:23.42gnarfaceah, but!
08:23.49gnarfacelibpulse does not hard depend on pulseaudio, the daemon
08:23.55gnarfaceso you can just uninstall or stop it
08:24.04gnarfacethough some people actually like what it does
08:24.19gnarfaceif you know enough about alsa with a couple extra shell tricks, you can get by without it for most things
08:24.42gnarfacethe one thing steam "requires" it for is pretty egregious too
08:24.48FatPhilOK, yeah, we don't have the daemon, by choice.
08:25.06gnarface(since you could basically do the same thing by piping arecord to aplay through netcat)
08:25.22FatPhilI know it solves some people's problems. You're lucky you prized OSS out of my cold dead hands and got me onto ALSA!

09:58.49FatPhilholy jeebus, my webserver's under a completely mindless attack at the moment. the URLs being requested are seemingly random. might be hard to fail2ban this guy...
09:59.39FatPhilone thing that is common is '.php' though, but I don't like configuring too many arbitrary rules.
10:11.21gnarfaceit is free traffic
10:11.56gnarfacejust redirect all 404 errors to a page with a bunch of banners :-p
10:12.33gnarfaceif they're trying to break in, that means they're looking at responses
10:13.31gnarfaceit also means you can just session cookie them and not give them a page unless they accept the cookie, then set a timer/counter on the server-side to also throttle the rate they can retry
10:13.43gnarfaceor just give them a max hit count, or something like that
10:14.59gnarfacei mean, if someone hits three dozen 404 errors in the space of 10 seconds, they're probably doing something abusive

18:26.42fsmithredand check the startup apps for the desktop. I don't recall where that is in mate.
18:27.00enycwell you see if wonder if that now relies on systemd-logind or some other systemd  session manager 'thing'

18:27.20fsmithredyou have consolekit?

18:28.33ba55i got an RC1 a while ago, dont see it now
18:28.33fsmithredno beowulf isos yet
18:28.49ba55ahh - i wonder if the RC was pulled
18:28.51fsmithredno, there's been no rc1 for beowulf
18:29.05ba55yeah there was lol
18:29.05fsmithredthere's been no beta for beowulf, and that will precede the rc

18:29.11ba55i ran it
18:29.22fsmithredif it said rc, then it must have been ascii
18:29.27fsmithredthere was a mini.iso
18:29.29fsmithredfor beowulf
18:29.44fsmithredand I'm pretty sure it no longer works because of kernel changes
18:29.51ba55got ya oh well
18:29.54ba55i built a new pc
18:30.04ba55i cant set it up yet till this comes out lol
18:30.10ba55want to do 100% fresh
18:30.24fsmithredif you really want beowulf, which isn't fully ready but can work just fine...
18:30.34ba55nah i can wait :)
18:30.37fsmithredinstall a bare ascii and upgrade
18:30.50fsmithredor use one of the derivatives that has a beowulf iso
18:30.50ba55i'm sure it will be out sooner than later
18:31.05ba55what do u mean by that second comment??
18:31.10fsmithredyeah, we should have installer isos soon
18:31.24fsmithredsome of the devuan derivative distros have beowulf isos
18:31.45fsmithredrefracta, miyolinux, I think gnuinos, and maybe star or crows (not sure)
18:31.51ba55ahh got ya - yeah ill hold off on those

18:31.58fsmithredlol, ok
18:32.00ba55man thats a bitch
18:32.06fsmithredin what way?
18:32.20ba55for old slow pc's i get it
18:32.22ba55but its so basic
18:32.27ba55the window managers etc
18:32.47ba55i was just isntalling vm's seeing what other deb based distros without sysd looked like
18:33.24fsmithredsometimes using just a window manager is a relief.
18:33.54fsmithredvery little to go wrong with it
18:34.45fsmithredcheck back in a few weeks and we might have a beta
18:34.54fsmithredor
18:34.58fsmithredwe might all be on vacation
18:35.52ba55lol
18:35.58ba55im counting on a few days for the iso ;)
18:36.13fsmithredoh, you haven't been here very long
18:36.55ba55ive been around under diff nicks
18:37.03fsmithredI can probably get desktop-base put together in a week or so, but all the task- packages need to be done
18:37.24ba55so how long after stretch came out, did ASCII release?
18:37.29fsmithreda year
18:37.35ba55wow
18:37.37fsmithredwhich was half as late as jessie
18:37.55fsmithredand I'm counting on beowulf being half as late as ascii was
18:38.02ba55well then, maybe i should just go deb for now then switch when it's released :)
18:38.10fsmithredso, I feel confident we'll have a release before the end of the year
18:38.13ba55awesome
18:38.24ba55its nice to have someone give me legit answers, i appreciate it
18:38.36fsmithredI can tell you that the system is stable long before we get the installer isos debugged
18:38.58fsmithredstable in the sense of "it works"
18:39.06ba55so stable.... say i installed ascii and upgraded... is there gna be any major downsides u know of?
18:39.17ba55i got a laptop i can test on
18:39.19fsmithreddepends on how you installed ascii
18:39.34ba55i would do it as u instruct me to :p
18:39.34fsmithredif you selected a destkop environment from tasksel in the installer...
18:39.39fsmithredyou're in for a world of hurt
18:39.47ba55yeah so this machine im on , wont work
18:39.49ba55its MATE
18:40.01fsmithredif you installed your desktop environment in individual pieces...
18:40.06fsmithredupgrade won't be too bad
18:40.24enycfsmithred: hrrm pulseaudio -D  can just start pulse manually no rpoblem seemingl
18:40.25*** join/#devuan boson_ (~boson@gateway/tor-sasl/boson)
18:40.32ba55alright so say, from fresh install - how would i do it?
18:40.33fsmithredif you install just a bare cli system, upgrade and then add desktop, it'll probably work pretty easily
18:40.35enycfsmithred: but i'm now locking-up on  vlc still,  screns black out,  etce tc
18:40.38ba55got ya
18:40.59ba55well if u feel like it, (or get time) pm me a list of what i need to do for the upgrade
18:41.04fsmithredmetapackages cause issues because not all the deps are ready
18:41.04ba55id be happy to try it and report back
18:41.27fsmithredcheck the guides for upgrade to ascii. It should be similar.
18:41.48ba55cool cool
18:42.54fsmithredhttps://devuan.org/os/documentation/dev1fanboy/
18:43.28ba55wow it seems pretty simple
18:43.33fsmithredI've upgraded refracta to beowulf and it wasn't bad. It's xfce without metapackages.
18:43.48fsmithredI tried stretch/kde to beowulf a few days ago and it was hell.
18:44.03ba55so say i install fresh with no destop
18:44.05ba55upgrade
18:44.08ba55THEN i can install mate
18:44.13ba55and it should be ok?
18:44.22enycba55: maybe ;p
18:44.26fsmithredyeah, pretty sure. I haven't tried mate in beowulf, but I think it's ready
18:44.47ba55heh well, when the rest of my parts show up today
18:44.51ba55i will be trying!
18:45.01fsmithredCandidate: 1.20.4-2
18:45.28fsmithredmate-desktop ^^^
18:45.28enycba55: for me,  "pulseaudio -D" as user isn't auto starting
18:45.40enycba55: for me, i'm having video accell issues
18:45.47enycbut these may not be  devuan specific issues
18:45.52ba55hmm i dont use pulse audio anymore
18:46.13fsmithredenyc, do you normally use non-free vid drivers?
18:46.19enycfsmithred: no
18:46.30ba55i switched to JACK
18:46.33enycfsmithred: radeon
18:46.35ba55and audio has been superb
18:46.49enycremoved the vaapi packages etc.

18:51.32fsmithredusually you need to add that stuff to fix vid problems
18:51.51enycfsmithred: i'm going to leave it like this for now and see if other traditional issues i have had, go away
18:52.11enycfsmithred: even on ascii,  if i did alot of videos, usage, chormium, etc   iwould eventually get osme sort of  drm errors in kernel  nad general system crash
18:52.22enycwell, xorg/video crash  and genealyl reboot needed
18:52.36enycbe nice to see this new arrangement (even without vdpau accell) might actually be more reliable now!
18:52.41fsmithredI get that when I open too many browser tabs
18:53.02enycthe other thing i will re-try sooner or alter is  just phasing out chromium!
18:53.27enyca friend of mine has a sepratae cgroup/whatever and constrains chromium's ram  because otherwise it is like a gas that expands to fill all available....

20:30.23fsmithredyeah, I saw the same with update-grub - those messages took a long time to finish
20:30.44enycfsmithred: recent udev upgrade?  whats changed  very lately?
20:30.55fsmithreda couple months ago, I ran into that and I think I ended up mounting /run/udev to the chrooted system
20:31.09fsmithredand that made the warnings go away
20:31.58fsmithredI thought it was related to the grub-efi-amd64-signed package at the time, but I guess not.
