02:03.33 | mason | systemdlete: No worries. Although I'm still stuck on the notion of that resolution change being involved. |
02:04.15 | systemdlete | well, there really IS a resolution change. It's due to the fact that, when switching between console and X, there is a change of resolution. |
02:04.35 | mason | Ah, effect, not cause? |
02:04.35 | systemdlete | I think that is the vbox video drivers simulating the changes. |
02:04.37 | mason | hm |
02:04.44 | systemdlete | (my theory) |
02:04.50 | mason | Valid. |

02:06.52 | mason | I think moving to another virtualization platform is a good idea regardless. |
02:07.44 | systemdlete | I'm investigatng it. Thing is, I have to make friends with new tech before I jump on board. So I do a lot of reading first, then testing, hopefully remembering to do it in a test environment first... |
02:08.10 | mason | I'm the same way. Takes me forever to rely on something new. |
02:36.27 | systemdlete | It's open source... which means, on the one hand, we should expect high quality software in most cases, but on the other hand, sometimes there are limits to what these things can actually do. And there's always bugs or other problems. I wouldn't trade open for the world, but I still like to be thorough. |
02:37.04 | systemdlete | I mean, just look at all the fun we've had today trying to figure out what I'd done. In this case it was op error, but I am always finding bugs and reporting them. |

03:30.07 | *** join/#devuan mrbitterness (~nice@184.99.181.210) |
03:33.46 | systemdlete | and the CLARITY of the man pages. I find many man pages are written very clumsily. |
03:34.28 | systemdlete | Sorry, but that has been my experience. And that goes for Unix as well as Linux. I find the web-based docs and wikis more useful for anything larger than a command line scripting filter. |
03:35.20 | onefang | There's lots of badly written docs out there, no matter what the operating system. |
03:37.26 | systemdlete | No kidding. But poor writing doesn't end there... anyone read online news? Some of those writers have no command of English, and most of the work needs an EDITOR badly. |
03:38.27 | golinux | Humans are getting stupider thanks to the machine |
03:38.39 | golinux | It's going to come bite us |
03:38.41 | systemdlete | If I have to read something 3 times to understand what the writer was trying to say, there is a problem. I only have this issue with SOME, not all, writing. So I conclude it is not me. |
03:39.33 | systemdlete | anyway, mason: I agree with you. My main contribution is submitting bugs. And I do my best to be clear, concise, and thorough. I try to remember to include relevant logs and other media. |
03:41.10 | systemdlete | Unfortuntely, though, despite my most fervid attempts, I find some tracker overlords do not take lightly to having their software criticised by even the most reproducible bugs and crashes. I am told by one, recently, that since no one else has a problem with their UI, they won't fix it. Despite it being confusing. |

03:48.18 | systemdlete | there are for, example commas but, in the wrong places. |
03:48.23 | man_in_shack | most traditional news companies have fired a huge chunk of editorial staff and journos to increase profit margins |

03:52.09 | golinux | Let's put a fork in it |
03:52.28 | systemdlete | Oh, I had it in 4th grade also. And again in other grades. But it was that class that finally put a fork in it for me. |

20:05.22 | rad | The sshd config file in beowulf arm64 seems to be quite different from the one that came with ascii raspi3. |
20:06.14 | gnarface | rad: the ARM images are fairly heavily customized by the volunteers that put them together, while the sshd in the x86/x86_64 images is the stock Debian one |
20:06.28 | gnarface | sshd_config* |
20:07.33 | gnarface | rad: (there is also a #devuan-arm channel just fyi) |
20:08.12 | rad | It "UsePAM yes" instead of "no" like it was. It removes "Uselogin no" and "UsePrivilegeSeparation sandbox". Actually that's all the changes I see. Yeah I thought they'd be customized to allow SSH setup of the raspi without a screen. I'll keep the local version. |

23:16.11 | fsmithred | unless it turns out the new kernel fixes a particular issue that's bugging me |
23:16.13 | bsd4me | lol, this is the kernel that came with the iso I downloaded |
23:16.22 | bsd4me | ok. Understand that. |
23:16.29 | fsmithred | wtf backports iso did I make?? |
23:17.24 | bsd4me | No idea. Got it from a site you told me to try, since older kernels don't work on this lenova ideapad 320 |
23:17.53 | fsmithred | this has openbox instead of xfce? |
23:18.12 | bsd4me | Well, they work, but need a bunch of additions/switches |
23:18.18 | bsd4me | yes |
23:18.31 | fsmithred | ok, I know which one it is |
23:19.09 | fsmithred | you might need to add policykit-1-gnome to get gparted-pkexec |
23:19.19 | bsd4me | Been working great for me |
23:19.32 | bsd4me | ok |
23:20.06 | fsmithred | I'm not sure how much other crap that will pull in |
23:21.12 | bsd4me | about a dozen or so. Removes libsystemd() |
23:21.29 | fsmithred | replaces it with libelogind0? |
23:21.33 | bsd4me | yes |
23:24.00 | fsmithred | I just booted the iso I think you used |

23:24.25 | fsmithred | it's pretty lean - no elogind, consolekit or policykit. |
23:24.47 | bsd4me | yes, lean for sure, but working fine for me. |
