| 05:08.15 | gnarface | systemdlete: it is a mystery to me still too. |
| 05:08.34 | gnarface | systemdlete: the i8042 error, did you google that? you may need to add kernel parameters |
| 05:08.43 | gnarface | kernel command-line options i mean |
| 05:09.12 | *** join/#devuan nexgen2 (~nexgen@144.172.68.147) |
| 05:10.13 | systemdlete | well, apparently this i8042 error has been around for ages. But the install DOES continue, at least this time, and from what I can tell from other people's posts, it looks like it may be intermittent. |
| 05:11.05 | systemdlete | At any rate, now I am trying to set up wireless networking. It is asking for the ESSID, I enter xfinitywifi, then it wants the WPA2 password and I am not sure what it is supposed to be; that's not how I connect my phone to the Internet. |
| 05:11.29 | systemdlete | xfinitywifi wants your comcast id and password for that ID. |
| 05:11.39 | systemdlete | That's how I did it when windows was on this laptop |
| 05:12.34 | *** join/#devuan Centurion_Dan (~Thunderbi@devuan/developer/centuriondan) |
| 05:16.03 | gnarface | systemdlete: look for a sticker on the side of it maybe (just guessing) |
| 05:16.25 | gnarface | systemdlete: but it's probably supposed to be something you set yourself in some admin console |
| 05:16.45 | gnarface | systemdlete: and you should change the default SSID too |
| 05:16.53 | systemdlete | Oh, I know my xfinity login and password for xfinitywifi hotspots. Trouble is, the installer is not asking for that info. |
| 05:17.05 | systemdlete | (this is not a local home wifi!) |
| 05:19.17 | systemdlete | btw, the touchscreen works, even in the graphical installer... :) |
| 05:21.37 | systemdlete | I wonder if the full ISO might be better in my case. |
| 05:22.15 | gnarface | hmm |
| 05:22.18 | systemdlete | That way, I can install the system and then use the desktop to (easily) connect to the internet |
| 05:22.44 | gnarface | is there a ethernet cable option? |
| 05:22.47 | systemdlete | OTOH, it might not be easy. I have never tried connecting anything other than a smartphone to xfinitywifi hotspot |
| 05:22.50 | systemdlete | no. |
| 05:22.52 | systemdlete | well |
| 05:23.18 | systemdlete | actually, I do have a usb-eth dongle, but there is only a single USB port, and I don't have a hub. |
| 05:23.49 | gnarface | the installer may see the wired ethernet as the first and primary net connection |
| 05:24.03 | systemdlete | And I don't know if setting up eth over usb is possible even in the expert mode (but it could be) |
| 05:24.41 | systemdlete | but it does ask for wpa info! So it can't be the only thing it looks for |
| 05:25.10 | systemdlete | I think the windows wireless setup had a special routine/handler for xfinity/comcast |
| 05:25.12 | gnarface | i wonder if it is a firmware issue |
| 05:25.47 | systemdlete | there is NO ethernet port on the laptop (sorry, should have mentioned) |
| 05:26.00 | gnarface | it is common for wireless devices to only offer limited functionality when operating without the non-free firmware |
| 05:26.17 | gnarface | omitting wpa2 is one of the limitations that is common |
| 05:26.53 | systemdlete | ? |
| 05:27.41 | gnarface | i'm wondering if the installer isn't offering wpa2 because your device isn't offering it |
| 05:27.54 | systemdlete | no. |
| 05:28.25 | systemdlete | the installer gets to the detect network hardware step, detects the wireless device successfully. |
| 05:28.42 | systemdlete | It assumes I want to configure the wireless (given there is nothing else) |
| 05:29.05 | systemdlete | then it presents me with a list of network ESS it finds, I pick xfinitywifi |
| 05:29.19 | systemdlete | but then it gives me a choice of either WEP or WPA2/PSK |
| 05:29.42 | systemdlete | there is no option for the kind of connection required for comcast/xfinitywifi hotspot |
| 05:30.12 | gnarface | oh, i thought you said there was now WPA2 |
| 05:30.15 | systemdlete | where I would enter my comcast ID and password |
| 05:30.25 | systemdlete | there is! |
| 05:30.33 | gnarface | try that |
| 05:30.35 | systemdlete | sorry, I'm not following you. |
| 05:30.45 | gnarface | try wpa2/psk |
| 05:30.48 | systemdlete | where would I enter my login info? |
| 05:31.04 | gnarface | probably later, like at boot time |
| 05:31.13 | systemdlete | ok, what would I enter for the pass phrase? |
| 05:31.18 | gnarface | or on the next page... |
| 05:31.26 | gnarface | they didn't give you a password? |
| 05:31.30 | gnarface | ??? |
| 05:31.38 | systemdlete | It is asking for the WPA2 passphrase, not my comcast ID/login |
| 05:31.53 | gnarface | you sure they didn't make that the same thing? |
| 05:32.01 | systemdlete | I don't know of one, or can't recall one. Never had to do that for Windows. |
| 05:32.06 | systemdlete | no, they are different. |
| 05:32.36 | systemdlete | I'm not sure how Windows 10 was able to do it. I'd have to rebuild the laptop and see if I can figure out how it does its magic there. |
| 05:32.48 | gnarface | windows has secret evil tricks that linux doesn't support yet. that IS a thing. you're not going crazy. |
| 05:33.03 | systemdlete | Or maybe ask comcast/xfinity support... yecccch. |
| 05:33.10 | gnarface | i forget what it's called |
| 05:33.12 | gnarface | it's super insecure |
| 05:33.18 | gnarface | WIP or someshit |
| 05:33.37 | systemdlete | Oh I AM definitely going crazy. But, mind you, my smart phone is android, and I think that is a hacked-up linux box IIRC |
| 05:33.50 | gnarface | it's for inital wifi auto configuration and it just picks the passphrase randomly for you and hides it and never asks again probably |
| 05:34.19 | gnarface | did you set it up already? maybe you can get the password from the windows box somehow.... |
| 05:34.50 | systemdlete | possibly. But when I entered a random string for WPA2 (that's the noise I wrote by accident here, meaning to type it into the laptop! sorry about that...) |
| 05:34.56 | gnarface | comcast tech support will probably tell you they don't support linux :-p |
| 05:35.01 | systemdlete | it fails, of course. |
| 05:35.08 | systemdlete | yep. |
| 05:35.26 | systemdlete | That's if you can even get them to acknowledge that you are not on Windows or MAC in the first place. |
| 05:35.36 | systemdlete | I've googled for help on this btw |
| 05:36.11 | systemdlete | "How can anyone be on a system that is not EITHER Windows or Mac? Sorry, sir, that is just not possible sir." |
| 05:36.37 | systemdlete | "There is no such thing on Earth that is not running either of these 2 venerated OS's." |
| 05:36.49 | systemdlete | "Is there something else I can help you with today?" |
| 05:37.20 | gnarface | i think you should try the wire |
| 05:37.44 | systemdlete | OK, how? Only one USB port, no hub here. |
| 05:37.55 | gnarface | maybe you still need to set it up, and maybe you can connect to it |
| 05:38.04 | gnarface | over the wire |
| 05:38.25 | gnarface | didn't you say you had a usb wired ethernet adapter? |
| 05:38.31 | systemdlete | there IS the power port, which is USB. |
| 05:38.34 | systemdlete | (yes) |
| 05:38.53 | systemdlete | But I don't have a gender changer for USB either :( |
| 05:39.14 | gnarface | doesn't the comcast device have a ethernet port? |
| 05:39.25 | systemdlete | The dongle is female and so is the other end of the power cable. |
| 05:39.31 | systemdlete | Oh, heheheh. |
| 05:39.54 | systemdlete | just cannot make his own life and everyone else's challenging enough |
| 05:40.20 | systemdlete | I have my own surfboard modem. No extra ports there either. |
| 05:40.27 | systemdlete | oh... then again |
| 05:40.42 | systemdlete | I guess I could connect directly from the laptop to the sb modem |
| 05:40.56 | gnarface | connect the wired ethernet, then the network connection won't require a password just to get to the router's login page |
| 05:42.10 | gnarface | then you can set the wifi password to whatever you want |
| 05:42.13 | systemdlete | well, for that matter, I could just connect the wire to my desktop box. |
| 05:42.15 | gnarface | that's the theory, anyway |
| 05:42.30 | systemdlete | again, the dongle is female usb end |
| 05:42.48 | systemdlete | or is it male? |
| 05:43.12 | gnarface | the desktop box should work fine, i'm betting that all you need is a computer with a working ethernet port and a web browser |
| 05:43.24 | systemdlete | oh I've got that and more |
| 05:43.44 | systemdlete | I'm just trying to figure out how to connect all the pieces given the genders |
| 05:44.33 | systemdlete | I've actually got 2 dongles. So I could theoretically connect a dongle to the desktop and the laptop, and connect them by a short piece of ethernet... |
| 05:45.06 | systemdlete | only problem with THAT arrangement is that, I've discovered the hard way, that these dongles give flaky connections. |
| 05:46.22 | systemdlete | gnarface: the laptop has a USB C port!!!! |
| 05:46.43 | systemdlete | I forgot about that, because I don't have any USB C equipment, so I've just kind of ignored that. |
| 05:49.12 | gnarface | wait, is the desktop using a different router? |
| 05:49.53 | gnarface | if it is already connected wirelessly, it might still be able to see the router's configuration panel, which would show you the wifi password |
| 05:51.49 | systemdlete | no the desktop is hardwired into the modem. I don't use wifi at home atm. |
| 05:51.53 | systemdlete | BUT! |
| 05:51.57 | systemdlete | DOH! |
| 05:52.13 | systemdlete | A wireless router -- I've got more than one of those... |
| 05:52.18 | systemdlete | and they work. |
| 05:52.50 | systemdlete | thanks gnarface! When you said "router" I thought of an integrated modem/router, not just a plain old router. |
| 05:53.13 | systemdlete | This is why I need people. My imagination is limited |
| 05:53.33 | systemdlete | Seriously, I think that is the ticket. |

| 06:45.57 | systemdlete | ooh. wait. |
| 06:46.27 | systemdlete | I set up that ethernet port originally for use on my test lan. I think I set it up for internet access |
| 06:46.51 | systemdlete | the other device on that network is my test box, which is really flakey at the moment. |
| 06:47.28 | systemdlete | I might have to replace the board on that guy, but a different matter. Point is, I can't seem to get it to boot the perfectly good devuan install there to see if that subnet has internet or not |
| 06:49.00 | systemdlete | the source of those packets appear to be from the router |
| 06:49.15 | systemdlete | some sort of broadcast on 239.355.255.250 |
| 06:49.18 | gnarface | well this now might not be a network issue |

| 06:50.21 | systemdlete | right |
| 06:50.24 | systemdlete | ok |
| 06:50.48 | systemdlete | this seems very intermittent, gnarface. |
| 06:51.09 | gnarface | it could be a hardware defect but it is probably just a kernel issue |
| 06:51.13 | systemdlete | I think those SSDP noises are for the router's own web interface |

| 12:14.06 | kiwi_28 | .. if there is an install option at all to expect |
| 12:16.04 | buZz | i'd think so .. not sure |
| 12:23.12 | fsmithred | livecd will install essentially the same as netinstall with xfce desktop choice |
| 12:23.22 | fsmithred | cd1 gives a partial desktop install |

| 12:26.42 | fsmithred | that would be good |
| 12:28.11 | fsmithred | for a default xfce install to a single partition, the end result will be almost identical for live install or netinstall iso, but the live install will only take 10 minutes. |
| 12:29.21 | fsmithred | for lvm, raid, more complicated partitioning than just a separate /home, or anything other than full desktop install, the live-iso won't do it. |

| 17:13.23 | Mobosmith | would I find a newer version in the backports repositories? |
| 17:17.44 | fsmithred | Mobosmith, I don't think there's mono in backports |
| 17:18.02 | fsmithred | you would have to upgrade to beowulf or backport it yourself |
| 17:18.34 | Mobosmith | I could add a repository off the mono website that's meant for debian 9 |
| 17:18.55 | fsmithred | that would probably work. Just be careful and check what else it will install. |
| 17:19.00 | Mobosmith | but I don't know if I can run old and new versions at the same time either |
| 17:19.13 | fsmithred | neither do I |
| 17:19.27 | Mobosmith | are the steps to update to beowulf available yet? |
| 17:19.38 | fsmithred | if they use deb packages, it'll probably replace the version you have |
| 17:19.43 | james1138 | https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=mono |
| 17:20.26 | fsmithred | upgrade to beowulf might be easy or difficult, depending on what you have installed |
| 17:20.34 | Mobosmith | yeah I need a version newer than stretch |
| 17:21.19 | fsmithred | basically, replace 'ascii' with 'beowulf' in sources.list, update and dist-upgrade |
| 17:21.51 | fsmithred | comment out beowulf-updates and beowulf-backports if you have them listed. They don't exist yet. |
| 17:22.20 | fsmithred | Mobosmith, what desktop are you using? |
| 17:22.50 | Mobosmith | what sort of stuff might break if I do? I'm using MATE. Got Xfce as a backup UI... |
| 17:23.13 | fsmithred | well, the task-*-desktop packages aren't ready |
| 17:23.28 | fsmithred | so, if you installed a full desktop from the installer, you might run into some trouble |

| 20:21.48 | hightower3 | By the way, just to say it here because I don't want to bother posting to the DNG mailing list. Regarding the recent thread on this list where people have somehow concluded that IBM has deprioritized power9 platform and that that's why they open sourced the design... |
| 20:22.07 | hightower3 | not true, they want to make power9 very relevant and also have plans for up to power12 and beyond |
| 20:22.39 | hightower3 | that's the reason why they opensourced it, as well as to make it possible for embedded companies to have an ISA that's not obtainable only through high licensing costs |
| 20:23.02 | r3boot | yeah, and that's a nice ramp-up for more zSeries sales :) |
| 20:24.00 | MinceR | nice ramp-up for selling the department that deals in CPUs :> |

| 20:30.33 | kiwi_96 | hi, my first installations acpi experience is hibernation is still not working:and after first suspend fails even in s2ram: "s2ram_do: Device or resource busy" . The computer is heating up, the fan goes without pause, but top knows nothing, clearly I have to reboot later. Any guesses? |
| 20:31.11 | fsmithred | kiwi_96, what have you done so far? |
| 20:31.18 | fsmithred | with the swap, I mean. |
| 20:31.52 | kiwi_96 | Hi fsmithred |
| 20:32.01 | kiwi_96 | Nice to meet you. |
| 20:32.06 | fsmithred | hi |
| 20:33.42 | kiwi_96 | As told I managed obviously to prepare a uswsusp.conf that can suspend and resume once, but then fails. |
| 20:35.11 | fsmithred | sorry, I have no ideas |
| 20:35.23 | kiwi_96 | This file is about 10 lines long, I dont know how to show it, neither still how to prepare the logs, but would. |
| 20:35.43 | kiwi_96 | .. in the forum, right? |
| 20:35.59 | fsmithred | paste.debian or pastebin or something like that |
| 20:36.29 | fsmithred | nc termbin.com 9999 < <file> |
| 20:37.49 | fsmithred | nc termbin.com 9999 < filename |
| 20:37.52 | fsmithred | looks better |
| 20:39.37 | fsmithred | or forum |
| 20:41.41 | kiwi_96 | It is mainly the same behaviour I experienced from ubuntu systemd, which at this point came with these heavy impacts. |
| 20:41.49 | fsmithred | I've never used s2disk. |
| 20:42.11 | fsmithred | I've used pm-hibernate and pm-suspend |
| 20:43.26 | kiwi_96 | I give it a try, do not bother if next moment I fall out .. |
| 20:43.39 | fsmithred | ok |

| 21:24.57 | *** join/#devuan petzi (~petzi@tmo-108-188.customers.d1-online.com) |
| 21:32.16 | kiwi_8 | It used to work, with the same bios entries, and came with an ubuntu upgrade, do you really mean a bios issue was likely then? |
| 21:34.51 | gnarface | i mean you might have changed the bios values accidentally |
| 21:35.03 | gnarface | as part of a normal previous bios upgrade |
| 21:35.16 | gnarface | or just loss of motherboard power |
| 21:35.21 | gnarface | like if the cmos battery is dead |
| 21:35.52 | gnarface | and there are a couple settings that are common in the wild, that could have sabotaged hibernation capability |
| 21:36.08 | gnarface | "memory hole at 15k" or something like that |
| 21:36.16 | gnarface | and available power management states |
| 21:36.53 | gnarface | basically, i'm not questioning whether it used to work with the same bios entries. i'm questioning how sure you are they're actually still the same. |
| 21:37.37 | kiwi_8 | cmos: I found this line in the syslog:Sep 5 23:13:50 hhh kernel: [ 4980.462935] rtc_cmos 00:01: System wakeup disabled by ACPI |
| 21:38.03 | gnarface | yea |
| 21:38.29 | gnarface | you do have acpid installed and running though, right? |
| 21:38.35 | gnarface | there could be some acpi related packages missing |
| 21:38.37 | kiwi_8 | Just where the error apparently happened .. |

| 21:39.03 | kiwi_8 | quite sure |
| 21:39.05 | gnarface | make sure you have these two packages: acpi-support-base acpid |
| 21:39.51 | gnarface | you might also need pm-utils |
| 21:39.52 | kiwi_8 | I had them |
| 21:40.23 | kiwi_8 | The latter is installed. |
| 21:41.06 | kiwi_8 | but late, when the error already happened: |
| 21:41.56 | kiwi_8 | maybe I shall reboot with pm-utils installed. |

| 21:44.57 | hightower3 | and looking deeper into dependencies libpolicykit-1 depends on libpam-systemd etc. |

| 21:48.06 | gnarface | you don't actually need it if you're not using a graphical login though |
| 21:48.12 | fsmithred | it should be ok, but possibly not for all arches |
| 21:48.32 | gnarface | hmm, could there be missing ppc64 packages? |
| 21:48.39 | gnarface | due to lack of build hardware? |
| 21:48.42 | fsmithred | yeah, I think there are |
| 21:49.02 | fsmithred | no, there is a problem with the build system |
| 21:49.59 | fsmithred | libpam-elogind should satisfy the dep |
| 21:50.12 | fsmithred | hightower3, what version of policykit-1 can you see? |

| 21:53.45 | hightower3 | yes |
| 21:55.53 | hightower3 | you suggest I override the depends and just install libvirt-daemon-system, or no suggestions at the moment? |
| 21:56.28 | fsmithred | I don't know what that will do |
| 21:56.32 | hightower3 | will try |
| 21:56.46 | fsmithred | I know it's possible to function without policykit-1 |
| 21:56.59 | fsmithred | but I don't know about libvirt-daemon |
| 22:01.21 | hightower3 | I removed libpolicykit-1 as a dependency from libvirt-daemon-system |
| 22:01.25 | hightower3 | and it installed and started |
| 22:01.30 | hightower3 | and I connected to it via virt-manager |
| 22:01.44 | hightower3 | (it == libvirt-daemon-system) |
| 22:03.32 | hightower3 | seems like that's it, thanks for discussion/pointers |
