00:19.47 | meep_____ | » [16:54:44] <systemdlete2> again, thousands of users and businesses use virtualbox |
00:19.47 | meep_____ | you should be able to switch to QEMU no problem. QEMU does everything virtualbox does and more, also without any proprietary binary blobs with native integration into Linux KVM |
00:20.56 | meep_____ | » [16:56:16] <systemdlete2> can qumu migrate VMs to other machines? idk actually |
00:20.56 | meep_____ | yes, before i moved to LXC containers i did this |

00:22.49 | fsmithred | I don't think the release notes are the right place for guides to third-party software |
00:22.55 | meep_____ | Furrywolf, virtualbox requires binary blobs to do basic things like usb2.0/3.0 passthrough, and i don't even know if it can access raw block devices yet |
00:23.04 | meep_____ | And it's owned by Oracle |
00:23.28 | meep_____ | It would be different if it was open source free software transitioning to something else |
00:23.43 | furrywolf | was it included in the repositories previously? |
00:23.53 | meep_____ | I don't know |
00:23.56 | fsmithred | free version was in repo |
00:24.07 | meep_____ | Qemu is really not that hard |
00:24.14 | fsmithred | but there's always been the non-free version from virtualbox.org (oracle) |
00:24.31 | furrywolf | will the old version continue to function with everything else upgraded, so existing installs don't break? |
00:24.34 | meep_____ | Qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4096 -smp 4 -cdrom linux.iso |
00:24.49 | meep_____ | 4 gig, 4 core x86 system in a one-liner |
00:25.02 | meep_____ | You can add a hard drive in -hda disk.img |
00:25.15 | furrywolf | I really, really, really hate "I ran apt-get upgrade and now things don't work". heh. |
00:25.29 | fsmithred | I haven't tried an upgrade of ascii with virtualbox installed |
00:25.38 | meep_____ | I like to do fancy stuff like virtio or emulated sas to ZFS Zvolumes |
00:25.45 | fsmithred | it's actually in ascii-backports |
00:26.07 | viciouspiranha | aqemu is a qt frontend to qemu, check it out |
00:26.08 | specing | meep_____: how do I add an USB stick (file) while the VM is running? |
00:26.24 | meep_____ | Not sure |
00:26.28 | specing | See, it is hard |
00:26.42 | meep_____ | There's a command line interface into the running qemu virtual machine |
00:26.46 | onefang | libvirt allows you to be independent of VM type. It even has a GUI. It did suck enough for me to go back to qemu command lines and self written scripts. |
00:26.49 | meep_____ | You may be able to attach it at runtime there |
00:27.05 | furrywolf | so far, php and python have been the #1 offenders for upgrades breaking things. heh. |
00:27.06 | specing | meep_____: there is, I've tried and it did not work |
00:27.23 | meep_____ | onefang: libvirt is just a redhat abstraction layer. It ends up calling qemu-system-<cpuarch> |
00:27.45 | onefang | Thus earning their place in my "I hate languages beginning with the letter P" list. |
00:27.58 | meep_____ | Pavascript? |
00:28.09 | onefang | I know that. It also abstracts other VM systems. |
00:28.55 | onefang | So it would make it easier to migrate from vbox to qemu for example. In theory, never tried that. I always just stuck with qemu. |
00:29.50 | meep_____ | You can use qemu-img to convert the virtualbox disk formats to standard one |
00:29.54 | meep_____ | Word of advice though |
00:29.55 | furrywolf | can't think of any other p languages |
00:30.06 | meep_____ | Use qcow2 instead of raw img files |
00:30.09 | onefang | Ruby is an honourary member of that list of P languages, JavaScript is also called Ecmascript, if you add the numeric value of J and E together, you got close enough to P. B-) |

03:12.39 | meep_____ | The proprietary nvidia driver does that with with the framebuffer on boot |
03:12.43 | meep_____ | Except is uses scaling |
03:13.03 | meep_____ | So i'll have a 1080p image scaled on a 1600x900 monitor |
03:13.10 | meep_____ | It looks cool |

03:14.58 | onefang | I was just messing with some GUI on top of xrandr, on my VR test box that at the time had it's own monitor, and was sharing my main monitor via my KVM. |
03:15.21 | gnarface | it should work both ways, you should be able to mirror with scaling or panning |
03:15.28 | gnarface | (driver bugs not withstanding) |
03:15.47 | onefang | Mostly I was just trying to get the left monitor to be on the left, and the right on the right. |
03:16.04 | gnarface | (though with nvidia's binary drivers the bug is just usually "doesn't obey xrandr right so you have to use nvidia-settings instead") |
03:16.48 | gnarface | heh, yea that's something the nvidia driver seems to be particularly bad at parsing when it comes from the xorg.conf for the xrandr command-line |
03:17.00 | gnarface | but the nvidia-settings thing works usually |
03:18.16 | onefang | This is a nVidia Optimus chip, an evil hybrid between Intel and nVidia graphics chips. That computer is small, made from laptop parts, but was the cheapest thing I could buy quickly so I could do VR development on when someone hired me to. |

05:39.46 | gnarface | well, yeti's suggestion to just use the vesa driver is probably worthwhile |
05:40.35 | gnarface | it's not like the hardware acceleration features are going to be good enough on that card that having support for them is going to buy you any practical improvement in any software currently in the wild |
05:40.52 | gnarface | it would still be cripplingly slow either way |

06:20.39 | systemdlete | (trying to remember) |

06:21.25 | systemdlete | Then I lived with a widow whose husband had been into all sorts of electronics (not to mention 48 other hobbies) |
06:21.41 | systemdlete | He made a lot of stuff himself -- you should see some of the adapters he made... |
06:21.48 | onefang | Ah, so some of this stuff was old unsupported stuff people got rid of twenty years ago. |
06:21.51 | systemdlete | (I don't use them.) |
06:21.56 | systemdlete | not exactly. |
06:22.11 | systemdlete | Some of this stuff was relatively recent when I obtained them. |
06:22.34 | systemdlete | The creative board was relatively new when I got it c. 2005 or so |
06:22.50 | systemdlete | but they followed me over the years. |
06:22.58 | systemdlete | I tried to make them go away, honest. |
06:23.43 | systemdlete | People sometimes gave me their old computers so I could use them for testing and to play with. |

06:24.34 | systemdlete | (funny, onefang!) |
06:24.58 | onefang | Though if they where old enough to drive, they wouldn't need drivers. |
06:25.06 | systemdlete | I mean, I've tried to collect stuff for recycling, then I forget, and when I'd move, I didn't think to toss them |

06:46.34 | systemdlete | I don't think this mainboard will let me do it. BIOS allows internal or pci-e only. It is silent on plain pci video cards. And having a pci and a pci-e card would seem simple for linux, but maybe the board gets in the way a bit |
06:49.33 | systemdlete | The option says PRIMARY Graphics Adapter (my emphasis) so I figured maybe there could be a secondary, and so forth. |

09:06.54 | gnarface | systemdlete: yea the issue is that it's entirely up to the bios whether to support it or not. if it doesn't do it, it doesn't do it... but note that it is worth checking to see if internal only works when there's no add-on card |
09:08.27 | systemdlete | yeah, I thought of running that test. It means removing the card though. I am doing some testing on adelie atm; as soon as I can shut it down, I'll remove the card and see. One thing for sure: It seems the internal does not work at all if there is a card also |
09:08.32 | gnarface | systemdlete: as for replacement cards, i dunno anything about the creative labs video cards at all, but the trident ones should be well supported - they're just cheap crap though |
09:09.04 | gnarface | systemdlete: see if the bios options for the internal video card change when there's no other video card |
09:09.27 | systemdlete | well, additional problem is it seems to be limited to just the pci slot(s), and I am not even sure that you can have both pci-e slots with a video card. |
09:10.32 | systemdlete | I tried setting the bios to internal with the card still present. It auto switched to the card though; it was the only port getting output. |
09:11.14 | systemdlete | I should have said, limited to just the pci-e slots (there's a pci slot, but it doesn't seem to be covered by the whatever logic they use). |
09:12.03 | systemdlete | saddest part is that, after all this work, the board might just go blow up tomorrow. It is a rather old board, and I've moved it around a bit from case to case. |
09:12.12 | gnarface | some of the pci slots may be paired with pci-e slots in a way that it's not supported to use both of the pair at once |
09:12.33 | gnarface | yea i'm also wondering if maybe the onboard video was nvidia and it just burned out... |
09:12.41 | gnarface | any way to tell? got the model & vendor name? |
09:12.45 | systemdlete | iirc, I bought the board in 2014 or so. |
09:13.47 | gnarface | the manual, what does it say? |
09:14.11 | systemdlete | yeah. It's the 760GM-P25 (the board is marked 6531 I think, something like that) |
09:14.29 | systemdlete | 7641 |
09:15.35 | systemdlete | It's actually the 760GM-P34 (which matches my box it came in). I may have the wrong manual (for the p25) |
09:17.49 | gnarface | the bios may also have some setting like "reset hardware configuration data" that you should check when you go in there before you save changes, whenever you change the add-on cards |
09:18.38 | gnarface | AMD System Drivers for 7xx/8xx/SB7xx/SB8xx Series (except RS690, 740) < |
09:18.44 | gnarface | Description |
09:18.44 | gnarface | AMD System & VGA Drivers |
09:19.12 | gnarface | i'm inferring from this ^ that the onboard video is something by amd |
09:19.26 | gnarface | so maybe the radeon or amdgpu drivers would recognize it |
09:19.41 | gnarface | but you need to be able to find it in the output of lspci first |
09:19.54 | systemdlete | right, right |
09:20.45 | gnarface | you saw this, right? https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/760GM-P34-FX |
09:20.53 | systemdlete | yep |
09:21.00 | systemdlete | been there many, many times now |
09:22.04 | gnarface | it's not one of those ones that requires a special "apu" cpu to enable, is it? it looks too early for that but i'm not sure... |
09:22.47 | systemdlete | no, i don't think so. I used it for years without the video card. |
09:23.02 | gnarface | oh, so you've seen the onboard video work before |
09:23.05 | gnarface | ok |
09:23.14 | systemdlete | If you look at that manual, btw, you will see that there is no video spec in the manual! |
09:23.27 | systemdlete | everything else, yes, but not the videospec |
09:23.35 | gnarface | that's the other thing that leads me to question whether this is assuming you need a APU... |
09:27.30 | systemdlete | thanks for all your help and especially the info you offer. |
09:27.58 | systemdlete | I'm going to knock off for a while. It's 2:30am here and I've been pounding at this for at least 8 hours. |
09:28.20 | gnarface | alright, lemme know how the test with no add-on cards works. |
09:28.27 | systemdlete | I notice no one makes a dual vga output pci card. LOL why would they? |
09:28.43 | systemdlete | I'm probably the last guy left on the planet who needs one. |
09:28.51 | gnarface | hmm, they certainly must have existed, but i'm sure they were much more rare... |
09:29.03 | systemdlete | pci-e I meant |
09:29.18 | gnarface | oh, yea, no it's hard enough to even find dvi ones anymore |
09:29.25 | gnarface | everything is going hdmi |
09:29.40 | systemdlete | This much I know: The card must go in one of the pci-e slots. The only choices in the bios are internal and pci-e |
09:29.52 | gnarface | interesting |
09:30.18 | systemdlete | would linux recognize the pci card though? I saw it listed in ixni |
09:30.20 | systemdlete | inxi |
09:30.37 | gnarface | can you paste your lspci output to paste.debian.net? |
09:30.38 | systemdlete | or, I thought I did |
09:30.55 | gnarface | ideally i'd like to see it with and without the add-on card |
09:31.07 | gnarface | might not matter though depending on what we see |
09:31.34 | gnarface | actaully you can just /msg it to me even |
09:32.52 | systemdlete | sure. |

10:09.35 | xrogaan | (beowulf) based on /etc/X11/Xsession, a xsession-errors file should be created following: http://dpaste.com/0CDVCVV |
10:09.48 | xrogaan | it is not, and no message gets logged anywhere. |
10:11.40 | xrogaan | Oh, weird, I just found out that there is a .xsession-errors.log, no idea how it gets created |
10:12.30 | gnarface | rsyslogd perhaps? |
10:12.56 | gnarface | or the X server itself |
10:13.02 | gnarface | dunno though for sure |
10:15.33 | xrogaan | slim starts the session this way: login_cmd exec /bin/bash -login /etc/X11/Xsession %session |
10:15.50 | xrogaan | I don't know why there is a .log at the end of the xsession-errors |
10:16.15 | xrogaan | I can't find any reference to that file anywhere. |
10:16.31 | gnarface | yea that's what made it look like a rsyslogd thing to me, but then i remembered the Xorg.0.log ends in .log too... |
10:16.41 | gnarface | but it's just a guess |

15:45.44 | gnarface | i'm sorry i don't know openrc either and i'm not sure it is even the part of the system that handles suspend |
15:46.09 | gnarface | i use sysvinit which really does not |
15:46.25 | gnarface | suspend would be handled by acpid and your window manager... |

15:47.12 | gnarface | if you have a suspend button on the keyboard it might work too |

21:15.04 | meep_____ | And want to really make sure it's off |
21:15.15 | meep_____ | *light switches 5 times |

23:30.35 | fsmithred | how do I figure out why it takes half a minute for the system to respond when I give the root password? |
23:30.43 | fsmithred | in a terminal on the desktop. |
23:31.08 | fsmithred | Only happens in the i386, not the amd64. Both VMs. |
23:32.22 | rrq | 1) tcpdump of external interface, 2) "top -d 0.2" |
23:32.52 | rrq | for a VM it might be the host's file system as well |
23:32.58 | Guest72323 | golinux: don't neglect yur garden |
23:33.07 | Guest72323 | *your* |
23:33.47 | rrq | and the VM might sit in the swap |
23:35.34 | meep_____ | Guest72323, "You're" |
23:37.05 | Guest72323 | nope: your... |
23:37.28 | Guest72323 | *your* garden |
23:37.51 | Guest72323 | instead of *yur* |
23:37.58 | Guest72323 | bye :) |

23:47.45 | fsmithred | takes about 30 seconds for the desktop to come up after the login screen |
23:47.52 | fsmithred | everything else seems to work normal speed |
23:49.06 | koollman | fsmithred: 30s might be some dns request and timeout, or some other network related thing |
23:49.27 | fsmithred | why would dns be involved? |
23:49.36 | fsmithred | oh |
23:49.39 | fsmithred | it might |
23:50.06 | fsmithred | I should get out of my chair and use the keyboard that's attached to that computer instead of doing it over vnc |
23:51.18 | koollman | I don't know your setup. but 30s is a really typical network timeout :) |
23:51.37 | fsmithred | that didn't help |
23:51.39 | koollman | maybe it's trying to log the hostname of the remote access, and that takes 30s to fail |
23:51.53 | fsmithred | local login is the same |
23:51.59 | koollman | or you have something in your pam setup that takes 30s to fail, too |
23:52.31 | fsmithred | maybe. Two nearly identical installs, only the i386 has the problem. |
23:52.51 | fsmithred | I'll make a live iso and put it on usb to see if it's the same. |
23:58.41 | meep_____ | Netbsd might be better for that kind of hardware |
23:59.58 | golinux | missed greeting aitor. Was in the garden! |
