| 04:08.38 | passstab | This is a system76 computer, so it should be supported. |
| 04:10.37 | ullet | what is system76 |
| 04:11.30 | passstab | A manufacturer of linux computers. |
| 04:12.01 | passstab | I don't remeber what modal it is. |
| 04:12.13 | hemimaniac | ullet: system is like the trophy of everything computer, the appitome if you will, it like trovalds and nasa agreed to a kid |
| 04:12.42 | hemimaniac | and system76 was still better |
| 04:12.46 | ullet | i like the name |
| 04:13.38 | passstab | How do I find the BT chipset? |
| 04:13.42 | hemimaniac | passstab: system76 offers lifetime support, you could get a current iso and compare them to see what they did |
| 04:17.23 | hemimaniac | passstab: a full inxi or lspci should give it up |

| 04:21.03 | passstab | Does that mean there isn't bluetooth? |
| 04:22.04 | passstab | I haven't tryed to use it before, the only indication of it I see is the keyboard shortcut, but maybe that is for other modals. |

| 04:35.27 | passstab | https://paste.debian.net/1142034/ |
| 04:36.29 | passstab | I just remebered, the BIOS allowed me to enable/disable BT. |
| 04:36.39 | hemimaniac | oof |
| 04:36.45 | passstab | (yes, I enabled it already) |
| 04:37.11 | passstab | point is, it should be here. |
| 04:38.01 | passstab | unless that also is a vestage of other modals. |
| 04:38.03 | hemimaniac | one last thing what lsmod | grep bluetooth give you? |

| 04:39.06 | passstab | hemimaniac, |
| 04:45.05 | hemimaniac | paste is not loading,, if you enabled bluetooth in biosthen fully rebooted and hot the key/switch for it it should of listed in one of the outputs, only thing I can think of is the linux-firmware pkg is missing or it locked off, you could try https://support.system76.com/articles/bluetooth/ << passstab |
| 04:46.13 | passstab | bluetooth 557056 7 bnep |

| 04:46.42 | passstab | OK, Thanks |
| 04:49.43 | passstab | hemimaniac, will that linux-firmware pkg work with ASCII? |
| 04:50.20 | hemimaniac | there should be one in the repo for ascii |
| 04:51.06 | hemimaniac | good luck |

| 10:01.20 | fsmithred | stovepipe, that's too much to read. The reason graphical install option is missing is because it takes up too much space. |
| 10:01.50 | fsmithred | if you need a newer kernel than 4.19, I have an unofficial iso with backports kernel you could try. |
| 10:02.01 | stovepipe | oh, the same iso gave me graphical install on virtualbox |
| 10:02.41 | stovepipe | i thought the ryzen vega needed >4.17 |
| 10:03.02 | stovepipe | at one point i tested some live distros to verify |
| 10:03.32 | stovepipe | i'm leaving it for now, will look closer tomorrow |
| 10:03.37 | fsmithred | which iso had graphical install? |
| 10:03.46 | fsmithred | https://get.refracta.org/files/experimental/refracta-test-oblx_5.3bpo-20200105_0440.iso |
| 10:03.56 | stovepipe | same march13 netinstall |
| 10:04.05 | fsmithred | ^^^ that one has 5.3 kernel |
| 10:04.06 | stovepipe | didnt it? |
| 10:04.36 | fsmithred | I didn't thik it was on the netinstlal. |
| 10:04.41 | stovepipe | graphical install in virtualbox |

| 11:00.43 | xrogaan | stovepipe: you want kernel 5.4, from backports |
| 11:02.07 | xrogaan | graphical install do not need to support whatever fancy GPU you have, it's supposed to use standard stuff |
| 11:02.27 | xrogaan | like vesa |
| 11:02.35 | stovepipe | never cared about graphical install |
| 11:02.43 | stovepipe | i just should have known right away |
| 11:03.14 | stovepipe | drm 4.17 and later is required for the ryzen vega raven ridge yadda yadda |
| 11:03.25 | stovepipe | obv 5+ will work |
| 11:03.51 | xrogaan | You should have done research before buying any kind of hardware. That's the state of linux. |
| 11:04.04 | stovepipe | i was assuming that the beowulf 4.19 would work, after having tested random live distros with >4.17 |
| 11:04.13 | stovepipe | haha really |
| 11:04.26 | stovepipe | no i can make it work if i want to |
| 11:04.31 | stovepipe | i just want it to work with devuan |
| 11:04.34 | stovepipe | son |
| 11:04.59 | xrogaan | For AMDGPU, the latest kernel is usually what you want to go for. AMD release their drivers as opensource, with some core things being proprietary. |
| 11:05.01 | stovepipe | "the state of linus" hardware has always been better than windows |
| 11:05.09 | stovepipe | but i digress |
| 11:05.20 | stovepipe | youre not saying anything |
| 11:05.31 | xrogaan | Don't misunderstand what I'm trying to say. |
| 11:05.57 | stovepipe | 4.17 |
| 11:06.00 | stovepipe | and higher |
| 11:06.04 | stovepipe | works |
| 11:06.23 | stovepipe | 4.19 out of the box with beowulf apparently is not working at this time |
| 11:06.26 | stovepipe | i will make it work |
| 11:06.32 | stovepipe | no suggestions necessary |
| 11:06.57 | xrogaan | You could go out and buy hardware which will not work under linux, because no driver has been written for it. If you want to buy something, you need to make sure that the piece of hardware is supported before the purchase otherwise you'll end up with a very costly paperweight. |
| 11:07.12 | stovepipe | no point in blowing it all out of proportion |
| 11:07.25 | stovepipe | haha |
| 11:07.32 | stovepipe | go away |
| 11:12.21 | gnarface | stovepipe: there's a way to provide additional packages (like a newer kernel) directly to the installer on a separate usb key, you just have to know what path to put them in |
| 11:12.29 | gnarface | (it moves around, over the years) |
| 11:13.13 | gnarface | for the AMDGPU hardware, you'll not only need a new enough kernel, you'll also need to get the non-free firmware for it |
| 11:13.46 | stovepipe | like i said before, i'm not looking at it until tomorrow |
| 11:14.01 | Wonka | 13:06:26 < stovepipe> i will make it work |
| 11:14.01 | Wonka | 13:06:32 < stovepipe> no suggestions necessary |
| 11:14.06 | stovepipe | ^ |
| 11:14.36 | stovepipe | i was just mocking my own expectations |
| 11:15.51 | stovepipe | still dont have anywhere near support in freebsd |
| 11:16.00 | stovepipe | still using scfb |
| 11:16.07 | stovepipe | i'm sure fbdev is fine also |
| 11:16.30 | stovepipe | but i would rather play overload in linux than windows |
| 11:17.03 | stovepipe | i can blow artix back on there anytime |
| 11:18.19 | stovepipe | linux is my new gaming dual boot, windows is used as little as possible |
| 11:19.43 | stovepipe | artix was 5.5 iirc |
| 11:20.43 | specing | play libre games |
| 11:20.45 | stovepipe | from that link it sounds like it just works with 4.20 |

| 11:22.29 | stovepipe | ? |
| 11:22.32 | fsmithred | oh |

| 11:22.52 | stovepipe | it "just works" out of the box on most distros in the past year or so i thought |

| 11:23.22 | stovepipe | heh just at first glance |
| 11:23.39 | stovepipe | again i'm supposed to not work on it until "tommorrow |
| 11:23.56 | stovepipe | fsmithred: no i installed with netinstall |
| 11:24.10 | stovepipe | first clue was no graphical install |
| 11:24.22 | fsmithred | did you select expert install and included non-free software? |
| 11:24.35 | fsmithred | graphical install is irrelevant |
| 11:24.44 | fsmithred | we left that out because it makes the isos too big |
| 11:24.51 | stovepipe | i know bot normally its available |
| 11:25.03 | stovepipe | normally graphical install is an option |
| 11:25.10 | stovepipe | so taht was my first clue |
| 11:25.20 | fsmithred | yeah, up through ascii. Every release gets bigger and fatter. |
| 11:25.33 | stovepipe | no i did not select expert |
| 11:25.44 | stovepipe | just first casual run |
| 11:26.06 | stovepipe | never meant to be talking about it like this |

| 11:26.57 | stovepipe | [07:14:06] <stovepipe> ^ |
| 11:29.19 | stovepipe | fsmithred: wait, so youre saying that there is no more graphical install at all? |
| 11:29.33 | fsmithred | right |
| 11:29.36 | stovepipe | i must have been installing 2.1 on something recently |
| 11:29.41 | fsmithred | maybe |
| 11:30.03 | stovepipe | but i thought i remembered the evil red |
| 11:30.04 | fsmithred | I did see it on at least one mini.iso that got built. |
| 11:30.08 | stovepipe | i need a vacation |
| 11:30.22 | fsmithred | red background on the boot screen |
| 11:30.38 | stovepipe | yeah but i'm remembering it on a gui screen |
| 11:30.44 | fsmithred | the debian-installer graphical install isn't a real graphical install anyway. |

| 13:57.32 | mason | Yeah, my Beowulf hypervisors use this with ifupdown and don't need those, although it's nice to have brctl to inspect things. |
| 13:57.33 | fsmithred | and then what network options do you use in qemu? |
| 13:58.34 | mason | fsmithred: Half a sec, digging. |

| 14:01.15 | mason | fsmithred: So, I use libvirt, which has an interface section with <source bridge='br0'/>. The actual qemu-system-x86_64 invocation references hostnet0, and I need to find where that's mapped to br0. |
| 14:01.30 | mason | Rather, each VM definition has such a section. |
| 14:01.43 | nemo | mason: it's probably just my lack of familiarity |
| 14:01.57 | *** join/#devuan ac_laptop (~ac_laptop@186.2.247.129) |
| 14:01.59 | nemo | mason: I can probably share bridge with all VMs, it's not like I plan to launch more than one at a time |
| 14:02.42 | mason | nemo: I just have one bridge per hypervisor and share it with all the VMs. Utterly simple and works well, but if you're not using libvirt I need to make sure we're not missing any moving pieces you'll need. |
| 14:02.43 | nemo | mason: just in past it involved a bunch of complicated commands tap/tun stuff and then more complexity to explain to the VM what to use, and I still ended up needing to create routes and screwing *that* up |
| 14:02.55 | ullet | fun times |
| 14:02.56 | mason | nemo: Yeah, ifupdown is way more pleasant than that. |
| 14:03.28 | nemo | mason: at present I'm literally just running 1 VM using the qemu command fsmithred gave me, and I plan to copy and paste your snippet into the relevant network config file once I'm sure I have *that* located ⺠|
| 14:03.48 | nemo | mason: then, hopefully I can just bounce net setup and... then the magic is how to tell this qemu command to use the bridge I guess |
| 14:04.14 | mason | nemo: If you want ease of use, the libvirt stuff exists for that. |
| 14:04.31 | nemo | never heard of it. guess I have to RTFM |
| 14:04.55 | mason | nemo: Look at virt-manager as an intro. Easiest way to build up new VMs, IMHO. |
| 14:05.06 | nemo | and yeah, I used to use virtualbox just because all this stuff tended to have a pretty gui entry |
| 14:05.27 | nemo | and it wasn't like I was planning to be a sysadmin fulltime ⺠|
| 14:05.28 | mason | nemo: IIRC you were looking at/for vbox before, and if so this will seem familiar. |
| 14:05.48 | mason | Yar, virt-manager is a pretty GUI for doing itk. |
| 14:06.34 | nemo | 'k |

| 15:30.25 | nemo | fsmithred: welp. few things I've learned testing this. â tigervnc X integration works great when connecting readonly. When connecting readwrite the qemu X window completely freezes forcing restart |
| 15:30.45 | nemo | I might be better off starting a whole separate X session really |
| 15:31.29 | fsmithred | ouch |
| 15:31.38 | nemo | â¡ If I restart lightdm in an attempt to fix â , the tmux session I'd spawned inside the X session inexplicably disconnects ⺠|
| 15:31.55 | fsmithred | I haven't tried tigervnc. using x11vnc and xtightvncviewer here |
| 15:32.19 | nemo | fsmithred: I was using xtight, but it was being annoying on the windows VMs. tiger seems much better behaved |
| 15:32.24 | nemo | dynamically resizes window for example |

| 15:32.57 | ullet | i in principle freenx should be faster than vnc (image compression) |

| 15:33.17 | ullet | *for text |
| 15:33.18 | nemo | could get almost real-time on my awful connection at the time |
| 15:33.35 | nemo | I mostly used it to check in on my xdotool mining script to make sure I wasn't being suspicious ð |
| 15:33.59 | nemo | (my younger brothers had talked me into playing an MMORPG with them and I quickly established it was almost nothing but boring grinding) |
| 15:34.22 | nemo | I passed the time by writing scripts to automate the repetitive actions, and also one for automatically mapping the world (taking screenshots appropriately tagged) |
| 15:34.48 | ullet | xdotool nice swiss army knie |
| 15:34.49 | ullet | fe |
| 15:34.50 | nemo | seems silly that scripting repetitive actions is considered bad, but there ya go |
| 15:34.53 | nemo | yep |
| 15:35.21 | nemo | it's like goal of an MMORPG is to challenge players to see who is willing to put up with emulating a small FSM for as long as possible without going mad |
| 15:35.35 | furrywolf | if a game can be automated that easily, maybe the game sucks? heh |
| 15:37.08 | djph | furrywolf: eve online was like that - but the "game" was more an excuse to get on teamspeak or use excel |
| 15:44.17 | nemo | furrywolf: I mean, most games have interesting parts, but for some reason MMORPGs often decide to build in some sort of economy that requires burning time in exchange for cool things |
| 15:44.30 | nemo | furrywolf: maybe in hopes people will spend money instead of time to get the cool things |
| 15:44.52 | nemo | which is probably why they crack down on scripting, since they are really trying to punish you with tedium for not buying things |
| 15:45.24 | furrywolf | or they want to make sure it takes as long as possible to play, so you subscribe to it for a longer period, without wanting to invest the creativity needed to make it non-repetitive. |
| 15:45.26 | nemo | but, well, my MMORPG experience is fairly limited, also doesn't explain why subscription games do this kind of stupidity |
| 15:45.34 | djph | eve was a bit different -- it could also be "stealing from that other guy" :D |
