07:12.34onefangthinks Digit doesn't have a clue about the amount of work needed to get some packages to actually work with the rest of the operating system. Maybe if Digit wrote an AI packaging system, we wouldn't need clever volunteers to update our distros for us.

08:00.03free_speechwhy should a program that I develop on a Devuan platform not work with the rest of Devuan?
08:03.18onefangDepends, maybe you developed it on an earlier version of Devuan, but some crucial library you depend on changed in some incompatible way in later versions?  And then you have to update your program to work on all versions of this library in all versions of Devuan.  This sort of thing happens.
08:05.20free_speechI bet that if I install Debian Etch (I'll mention Debian now because of its longer version history), it'll also work on Debian Buster ... didn't ever try this, but I bet it'll work fine.
08:05.35onefangIn my case the mouse options for tmux keep changing between versions, so my big virtual world project that uses tmux for running the server consoles has to pick a particular version of tmux to be compatible with.  Usually that's what ever version comes with what ever version of what ever operating system I'm currently using on my own server (Devuan ASCII for now).
08:06.19free_speechMy last sentence does not make the intended sense, so I'll correct it ...
08:06.51free_speechI bet that if I install Debian Etch (I'll mention Debian now because of its longer version history) and develop a program on Etch, my program will also work on Buster.
08:06.55free_speechThat's what I wanted to say
08:09.10onefangIt's entirely possible. But you can't always rely on external projects your program relies on to stay compatible with the way you used it.  This is why distros pick particular versions of particular libraries and stick with them for that particular version of the distro.  Maybe backports will get a more recent version, if it doesn't break too much other code.
08:10.12onefangWhich is why Digits plan to let ordinary users just update packages on the distros servers is bound to just be pure chaos.  Things WILL break.
08:14.26onefangSo it's not "a philosophical pedagogy design fail common to all(?) distros" it's just the way the world works.  Things change, you want a stable distro, you better hope the distro maintainers put a lot of work getting the particular versions of everything to work together well for that particular version of the distro, and then that they don't change anything in the particular version you installed that br

08:15.58onefangWhich is why making a big distro like Devuan is lots of hard work.  If you want to update a package, volunteer to help.
08:17.55onefangLetting "any newbie user to update a package on the server" will just result in one giant mess that doesn't work for anyone.  Not to mention it'll be a giant security mess as well.
08:19.27Digitstill seems like madness to me, to not have tooling to help package updating, upfront, so users get even just the visual cues of what's involved in upgrading packages.  just another part of this disconnect i see.
08:20.38Digitlike the many eyes making all bugs shallow, many package updaters make all packages up to date... and many a leg up sign post facilitation makes many a more would be packagers more readily become packagers.
08:22.48onefangFeel free to write such tooling.  The Devuan maintainers are too busy doing their job to write such "newbie user" friendly tools.  We do have such tooling, it's a hard job, it's even harder writing tooling to make something that hard easy for "newbie users".
08:23.44Digiti know it's not as simple as just needs 1 magic button that says "make new package, and make it nice with all other packages", and poof, a number changes somewhere and fairies take care of the rest... but i just think more bridges could be built across the package manager gui between packegers and users, bluring the distinction, encouraging participation and contribution and learning.   that kinda thing.
08:24.45onefangSoooo, write those bridges.  The fairies are too busy to write it for you.  B-)
08:25.01Digityeah, most places, if they're to cater at all to the newbie, it's in coddling, n not so much aimed to helping them towards intermediacy and excellence.
08:26.05Digitonefang: yeah, i'm on it.  ....   same as i was on it a decade ago when i last brought it up.  n_n   ack.  ok... maybe i've learned enough that i cou@#~, ack, i've learned nothing.
08:26.36onefangWhich is what I'm trying to do in my big virtual world project.  Make it easy for newbie users to run their own, to learn how it all works, to write their own stuff to make it work better for them.  That's a really big project, a distro is even bigger.
08:27.36Digitaccepts a poor workman blames his tools, a poor student blames his sourcecode.
08:29.33onefang"Hey it's easy, just write magic!" says the poor user to the poor overworked developers.
08:29.59onefangwanders off to write todays little bit of magic.
08:30.54Digityeah, just eeasily write the software that deals with the users who ask for that kind of thing, directing them to the documentation.
08:31.51Digitah, i think i could do that... i think i even did.  ... i wrote an irc bot that answered any question with an rtfg link containing the question.   problem solved.  ;D

08:34.17free_speechBack in my personal Windows-using times, I used to waste some of my time using Windows' On-Board - Tool "Paint" ... I personally didn't like the Paint-version shipped with Windows 7 and above, so I upported the Paint of Windows XP up to Windows 7 just by replacing the paint.exe File ... it worked as intended.
08:35.53free_speechI wondered if this worked vice-versa, so I backported Windows 7 Paint to XP the same way - it just worked.

20:16.51eyalrozI've gotten myself into a little packaging mess...
20:17.25eyalrozwith gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad (an ominous name)
20:17.52eyalrozand when I apt --fix-broken install , I get:
20:17.53eyalrozPreparing to unpack .../gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad_1%3a1.14.4-dmo7_amd64.deb ...
20:17.54eyalrozUnpacking gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad:amd64 (1:1.14.4-dmo7) over (1.16.1-1) ...
20:17.54eyalrozdpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad_1%3a1.14.4-dmo7_amd64.deb (--unpack):
20:17.54eyalroz<PROTECTED>
20:19.49eyalrozHow can I fix this weird conflict?
20:23.56gnarfaceeyalroz: looks like you're trying to downgrade - you need to find a newer version of gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad:amd64
20:32.00gnarfaceof course, this does leave some open questions like, "how did my system get this way?"
20:32.10gnarfaceusually this is caused by mixing distros, distro versions, or repos
20:32.27gnarface(backports and deb-multimedia are common culprits)
20:32.49gnarfaceit might be sufficient to just get all the gstreamer packages from the same place
20:33.06gnarfacebut from where you're at now, if you decide that's not where you want to get some of them, you will probably have to manually uninstall all of them first
20:33.20gnarfaceeither approach should kill this blockage
20:42.05*** join/#devuan xcm (~xcm@ipa210.225.tellas.gr)
20:45.17eyalrozgnarface: Well, that might not be the reason, but - I added the winehq staging repo for buster, and tried installing some of the packages there, but couldn't because of weird i386 dependencies
20:45.28eyalrozThen I removed that apt source
20:45.34eyalrozmaybe that was the cause
20:45.37eyalrozalso,
20:45.44eyalrozI apt-get dist-upgrade'd again
20:46.37eyalrozOh, I think I might have added deb-multimedia
20:46.55gnarfaceeyalroz: ok i perceive the possibility of multiple mistakes here cascading.  first of all, i'm guessing those weird i386 dependency issues were because you forgot to enable multiarch before switching to the winehq repos
20:47.15gnarfacesecondly, you should not be adding all of these repos at once, if you're gonna mix them, mix them one at a time
20:47.32eyalrozgnarface: I did enabme i386, and had it enabled for a while
20:47.49gnarface(as in, ONLY have the winehq repo enabled while installing/upgrading the winehq staging packages, then comment it out and "apt-get update" again with the other repos uncommented)
20:47.58eyalrozbut - let's start with: How can I remove all gstreamer packages? (If that makes sense at all and won't bring the house crumbling down)
20:48.37gnarfacewell you can try to just "apt-get --purge remove [package 1] [package 2] ... [package N]"
20:48.50gnarfacejust put all the gstreamer packages on the same line like that
20:49.00gnarfacebut make sure to carefully read the WILL BE REMOVED section
20:49.11gnarfaceif anything else you need will be removed, don't do it.
20:49.31eyalrozgnarface: "all the gstreamer" - get those from a dpkg query?
20:49.40gnarfaceyea: dpkg -l |grep gstreamer
20:50.07*** join/#devuan rafalcpp_ (~racalcppp@84-10-11-234.static.chello.pl)
20:50.22eyalrozgnarface: I think I'll take another approach. Will first remove the deb-multimedia and see what that does.
20:50.38gnarfacewell you might have to remove all the packages from there
20:50.50eyalrozgnarface: I can live with that.
20:50.50gnarfacebecause they're probably all new enough to be in direct conflict with stock devuan parts
20:51.12gnarfacealternately you could try to just get ALL the gstreamer packages from deb-multimedia at once, that might fix this too
20:51.18eyalrozgnarface: Ok, that did the trick.
20:51.19gnarfacebut you'll still be in the same confused mess if you forget again later
20:51.37eyalrozgnarface: confused mess is my natural state :-P
20:51.43gnarfaceheh
20:52.07eyalrozAnyway, now my agdu works fine (apt-get dist-upgrade ; I have an alias for it)
20:53.16eyalrozI was going to try using winehq repos, to try and get Starcraft 2 to play,
20:53.16eyalrozfollowing the instructions here: https://gaming.stackexchange.com/a/356390/50983
20:53.42gnarfacehmm, i should test that... it was just working a couple days ago, but i followed my own instructions...
20:53.57gnarfaceoh you have amdgpu?  my setup might only be relevant to nvidia
20:54.14eyalrozno, I don't
20:54.27gnarfaceagdu wasn't a typo of amdgpu?
20:54.31gnarfacehmmm
20:55.15eyalrozalias agu='apt-get update; apt-get -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false -y upgrade'
20:55.16eyalrozalias agdu='apt-get update; apt-get -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false dist-upgrade'

22:43.29gnarfaceymmv (i'm using nvidia)
22:49.37eyalrozgnarface: Which card are you using?
22:50.10eyalrozalso - have you tried it with a virtual machine instead?
22:54.00*** join/#devuan rafalcpp_ (~racalcppp@84-10-11-234.static.chello.pl)
22:58.15gnarfaceeyalroz: i have not, and the card is sufficiently ancient that i'm impressed with vulkan->d3d translation tech
22:58.50gnarface(GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost)
22:58.56eyalrozAh. I have a recent GTX 1050 Ti, so maybe it'll work better for me. But... I was disheartened by the i386 dependency troubles.
22:58.56gnarfacea 2GB card
22:59.24gnarfaceif you had multi-arch enabled right, then it must be some distro/repo mixing version conflicts, that's all i can suspect
22:59.52gnarfacewell
23:00.20eyalrozI'd probably better not waste time playing it right now anyway, so maybe it's for the best...
23:00.36gnarfaceor the one other thing is you just don't have any of the dependencies already installed, and they're not in the winehq repo to get.  in that case, what worked for me is to install the wine-development package from the devuan repos then REMOVE it but leave all it's dependencies (they're mostly the same as for winehq-staging)
23:00.44eyalrozbtw - do you know when is the beowulf release due?
23:00.55gnarfacei do not.  i don't think there's any official due date yet
23:01.58eyalrozIsn't that strange, considering Buster has been out for 2 months already?

23:05.05eyalrozThis is bad.
23:05.23fsmithredjessie was two years late
23:05.30fsmithredascii was a year late
23:05.50fsmithredbeowulf is likely to be about six months late (maybe by end of year)
23:06.05fsmithredunofficial projections ^^^
23:06.23Simeon2why is that bad eyalroz
23:06.37Simeon2beowulf 'release' is kind of symbolic, isn't it (it just works here)
23:07.06eyalrozSimeon2: Because it violates the Palestinian academic and cultural boycott of Israeli institutions, and now,
23:07.44eyalrozI have to try and protest, and get the Debian bodies to change venue, while undermining some people whom I know and am on somewhat friendly terms with.
23:08.28fsmithredyuk
23:08.32eyalrozSimeon2: About the beowulf release - peopel who try Devuan will look at the release version. If it's based on Debian 9, then it's ancient package versions. Debian 10 - tolerably old...

23:08.38fsmithredgood luck
23:08.45Simeon2that's a fair point eyalroz re releases
23:09.24Simeon2and of course it's anyone's right to boycott whatever they want
23:09.50Simeon2but the politics behind such boycotts is solidly offtopic
23:11.14eyalrozSimeon2: You mean, for this channel? Ok, sure, I won't open up that discussion here. If anyone wants to say something about it please message me personally.
23:24.40golinuxOr post on #debianfork
23:24.46Simeon2eyalroz: i grabbed a package from debian sid that i need for browser update, which isn't yet in beowulf

23:25.19golinuxLook in ceres - sid
23:25.23Simeon2<PROTECTED>
23:25.55Simeon2i grabbed the source packages but dpkg-buidpackage fails for me (have done build-dep)

23:26.35golinuxAvailable via Devuan repos.
23:26.40Simeon2oh ceres eh ty
23:26.56Simeon2goes to show how little i know about devuan
23:27.29golinuxhttps://devuan.org/os/releases
23:27.32specingCan anyone explain why useradd makes mode 755 home directories?
23:27.51golinuxNoy I
23:27.56golinuxNot I
23:31.04Simeon2should i add experimental to sources.list?  or sed -e 's/beowulf/ceres/g' it?
23:31.41Simeon2i usually ran with 'sid'
23:36.15golinuxOnly if you want to test new Devuan packages.  I have used it once or twice
23:36.46g4570nSimeon2: add ceres repos togheter with ASCII o Beowulf, and then: apt update && apt install libsqlite3-0 -t ceres
23:37.14Simeon2oh i didn't know -t thanks
23:37.17golinuxI recommend to NOT mix releases
23:38.01golinuxBut then I'm still running jessie
23:38.02g4570nSimeon2: it's will be an FranksDevuan 😆
23:38.02gnarfacespecing: ancient linux default.  something about inter-user communication stuff (.plan files and such i think)  i change them all to 0700 myself too
23:38.11gnarfacespecing: sorry, actually ancient *unix* default
23:38.39gnarfacespecing: this software was originally designed for scientific collaboration on shared mainframes, remember
23:38.40golinuxgnarface to the rescue
23:38.42Simeon2i switched an nvidia jetson from ubuntu to devuan without rebooting :)  fun stuf
23:39.02Simeon2well in the end i did reboot but it werked!
23:42.33gnarfacespecing: note that "useradd" is part of the generic user/group manipulation set.  i think it's only there for legacy reasons (posix compatibility?) use "adduser" instead.  it's "debianized" and should have some config somewhere that you can change defaults with
23:42.55gnarface(that's the old "debianized" from before that was a bad thing)
23:43.26gnarfaceyea, /etc/adduser.conf
