01:56.29furrywolfaww, is the gopher server gone?
02:12.51rrqwhich host was that?
02:13.41furrywolfdunno, but I just tried the gopher links, and they no longer work.
02:14.55rrqwhich link(s)?
02:15.08furrywolfgopher://www.devuan.org etc.
02:15.43rrqmmm that must have been the old www.devuan.org host

12:23.56gordonDrogonA long shot, but has anyone had/used OpenShot with Beowolf? I was using it with ASCII on a crappy old i3 system with on-board Intel graphics and it could use the on-board thing to assist with rendering, but got a new(er) PC, i7, on-board intel (plus PCIe nvidia) and can't get OpenShot to use the hardware at all. (Using the same OpenShot 2.5.1 I was using on the old PC, comes in "AppImage" format)

12:51.57gordonDrogondjph, yes - I thought so. it's plugged in, currently displaying video - 2 monitors - the control panel thing works but OpenShot won't/can't use it.

12:52.49djphI'm not surprised the onboard graphics are getting disabled since you have proper GPUs
12:53.11djphbut then again, I haven't used OpenShot on a machine with dedicated GPUs in ... well, I don't think ever.
12:53.30gordonDrogonOpenShot can't/won't us the on-board either, although I've not tried without the nvidia card plugged in.
12:54.01gordonDrogonI'll give that a go after lunch.
12:55.04djphI was more thinking it was "disabled" because it was forcing you into using the nVidia (as in "no, you can't change this because I know you have a good card, why would you want to use the bad card?!")
12:55.05gordonDrogonalthough right now CPU rendering is almsot as fast on the new PC as using the hardware on the old PC was.
12:56.05gordonDrogonI'm new to the multi-card thing, but when I plugged the card in, with the video cables still in the on-board one, it whinged that I had nothing plugged into the PCI card.
12:56.36gordonDrogonI don't care which one I use, but I'd really like some hardware assist when doing the final render on videos.
12:58.53djphMight need to read into it more.  If you're plugged into the nVidias, it might just run with those without even thinking about software
12:59.13djphAssuming you've got the nVidia drivers running the show
13:03.49gordonDrogonthey are all installed and working and video is coming out of that card. OpenShot just won't use hardware acelleration for whatever reason known to it. I'll remove the card, go back to the on-board one which might be the same as my old i3 system - I can run-up the old drive and check from there just to make sure, then who knows. Maybe I needed to install some extra library or something on the old system I've not done here.
13:04.38gordonDrogonI'm not weded to this nvidia card- it was just cheap/part of the bundle I bought. I know that they're not that linux friendly, so who knows.

13:41.12gordonDrogondjph,  I've removed the nvidia card. PC works fine with on-board video, vainfo seems to suggest it's working fine, but OpenShot still won't/can't use it.

13:52.12gordonDrogonglxgears works, which suggests it's actually usable from programs. OpenShot is just behaving weirdly then. Maybe I'll downgrade to ASCII and see what happens..
13:54.48nemogordonDrogon: glxgears works at a decent framerate?
13:54.53nemogordonDrogon: (with vsync disabled)
13:55.10gordonDrogoner, 60fps. not sure how to disable vsync (yet)
13:55.35nemo__GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=0 vblank_mode=0 glxgears
13:55.42nemothe first one is for nvidia non-free
13:56.19gordonDrogongot it.
13:56.52gordonDrogon61825 frames in 5.0 seconds = 12364.921 FPS
13:57.51gordonDrogon(which I suspect means it's actually using hardware - I hope!)
14:04.12nemohaha
14:04.22nemogordonDrogon: if it is, I want your CPU
14:04.51nemogordonDrogon: what's the openshot weirdness?
14:06.09gordonDrogonold pc: i3 system - OpenShot worked fine, but slow. It supported hardware rendering using the onboard intel video thing. It was running ASCII. New (ish) PC. Intel i7 with on-board intel graphics - fresh install of Beowolf - OpenShot works, but can't enable hardware rendering.
14:07.17gordonDrogonI'm using the same OpenShot AppImage binary on the new PC that I used on the old one. (the packaged .deb is much older)
14:08.22gordonDrogonnew Pc is a refurbished Dell from a popular UK supplier. It's otherwise working very well.
14:11.09nemohuh... weird. ascii can use your good graphics card but beowulf can't?? that's usually the reverse of how graphics work on linux
14:11.27nemogordonDrogon: did you install the firmware package after upgrading to beowulf? maybe that got missed?
14:11.36nemogordonDrogon: and, anything in dmesg that looked suspicious?
14:11.43gordonDrogonthe 'card' is the on-board video. I have a separate nvidia card, but am not using it.
14:12.06gordonDrogonthe only stuff I've installed has come via apt and the standard repositories (including non-free)
14:12.20nemoyou got 12k FPS in glxgears using your embedded nvidia??
14:12.28gordonDrogonno - embeded intel.
14:12.32nemoer intel yes
14:12.33nemowow
14:12.57gordonDrogonI've never used this stuff on the past, but it sounds like it's maybe not quite right ...
14:13.28nemowell. it's just a very rough "benchmark"
14:13.34gordonDrogonthe display of the gears did not look any faster, but I don't know if that's be design.
14:13.35nemoso who knows, maybe it's been optimised out the wazoo
14:13.43gordonDrogonpossibly!
14:13.43nemogordonDrogon: well, 12k FPS is not going to render visibly 😃
14:14.00nemoyour monitor would not be capable of it even if your eyes were
14:14.03gordonDrogonwell quite, but I was sort of surprised it wasn't jus a blur ...
14:14.35nemoheh
14:15.09nemogordonDrogon: well, I'm going to guess the animation is designed to render normally
14:15.13nemogordonDrogon: and not linked to the frame rate
14:15.15nemomost are
14:15.22*** join/#devuan kreyren (~kreyren@fsf/member/kreyren)
14:15.48gordonDrogonI've checked permissions too - /dev/dri/* is group video and I'm in that group.
14:17.20nemogordonDrogon: oh. and the firmware package?
14:17.22nemo(s)
14:17.46gordonDrogonseems ok, however I'd jsut dug through the openshot debug log: libva error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so has no function __vaDriverInit_0_32
14:17.55gordonDrogonso now following that rabbit hole..
14:18.03nemoah
14:18.27nemogordonDrogon: so tool looking for a deprecated/removed function or something
14:19.06gordonDrogonhttps://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=233143  <-- seems to have clues. let me check that.
14:21.06gordonDrogonreinstalled it, but same result, however I'll follow this path more - seems to be on he right track for now.
14:25.26gordonDrogonok, found this: https://github.com/OpenShot/openshot-qt/issues/3210  where it looks like Beowolf is too new. This is something I've never encountered in 25+ years of Debian, (now Devuan, of-course) so I'm somewhat surprised.
14:28.44gordonDrogonanyway, thanks for the input. sometimes it just needs a bit of chat to make the old grey cells think a bit different...
14:28.57nemohaha
14:29.07nemoyeah, debian being "too new" is a rare situation indeed
14:32.29gordonDrogonI could try building it from source, but not today.
14:33.12nemogordonDrogon: hmmm this openshot uses appimage. lame
14:33.16nemogordonDrogon: is that how you installed it?
14:33.22gordonDrogonyes.
14:33.40nemoah. welp. this bug is just one of the many reasons I despise app image. but nice to have reinforcement for it ☺
14:33.47gordonDrogonwell - not that you technically 'install' an appImage, however..
14:33.50nemohehe
14:33.53nemowhatever
14:34.09gordonDrogonyea, it's the first time I've encourtered it. 140MB of ... well, almsot everything.
14:34.40nemopersonally I'm rooting for nix as the least-sucky of the whole bad bunch
14:34.58nemoit's kind of a meta package manager offering some hope for dedupe and security updates
14:35.22gordonDrogonI'm a bit out of touch - been nothing more than a 'user' for far too many years now.
14:35.28nemogordonDrogon: examining the bug it looks like you could also perform surgery on it by symlinking their libraries to the system ones
14:35.46nemogordonDrogon: I've done that with some success in closed source games on steam and GoG
14:36.31nemogordonDrogon: any reason you didn't use apt install openshot  btw?
14:36.37gordonDrogonpossibly. video editing is just a bit of a hobby right now. my new PC software renders at the speed the old one did with the hardware assist, so it's not the end of the world in that respect.
14:36.47gordonDrogonthe openshot in apt is quite old.
14:36.57nemo2.5.1 ?
14:37.04gordonDrogonoh?
14:37.08nemohttps://pkginfo.devuan.org/stage/beowulf/beowulf-backports/openshot_2.5.1+dfsg1-1~bpo10+1.html
14:37.31gordonDrogonI see 2.4.3
14:37.36nemo.. backports
14:37.39gordonDrogonah, backports.
14:37.41nemoalways check backports 😝
14:37.47gordonDrogonRIGHT. Hold my beer ...
14:37.48nemoapt -t beowulf-backports install openshot
14:41.06nemogordonDrogon: what I like about that backports package is it is tagged as "oldlibs" ☺
14:41.21nemoso clearly even 2.5.1 packaged by debian has issues w/ openshot
14:41.30nemohmmmm maybe it's qt though
14:41.32nemoif so, I sympathise
14:42.09nemoHedgewars kinda sorta migrated after qt4 was killed off, but we're using internal headers just to still function pending a complete frontend rewrite. hate qt
14:43.46gordonDrogonOh, I say, old chap!, Bravo!
14:44.17gordonDrogonnot only working but I'm seeing 35fps rendering speed.
14:46.30gordonDrogonI might even plug the nVidia card back in and see if it's any better.
14:47.46gordonDrogonnemo, thanks!
14:48.06nemonp ☺
14:48.18nemoone less app image in the world always makes me happy
14:48.45gordonDrogonindeed.
14:51.07*** join/#devuan targz (~Thunderbi@unaffiliated/targz)
14:51.16nemogordonDrogon: BTW, I really really really wish debian would rethink their backports behaviour with regards to optional/game/non-critical packages
14:51.35gordonDrogonI'm not a fan of qt either, but for many other reasons - mostly involving Raspberry Pi people wanting to use some stuff I developed never intending it to be used with the qt make system. ugh.
14:51.42nemogordonDrogon: we've spent soooooo much time supporting debian users. the existing backports mechanism is very non-discoverable.  ubuntu makes it slightly less sucky btu still
14:51.55nemogordonDrogon: heh. like what?
14:52.26nemogordonDrogon: util/FileEngine.h:#include <private/qabstractfileengine_p.h>
14:52.29gordonDrogonoh the all want to cross compile their enny weeny little things. I did a (popular at on time) C based GPIO library for the Pi.
14:52.34nemo↑ that's our current problem
14:52.45nemonifty
14:53.23gordonDrogonI'm tempted to resurrect it when I get time to install devuan on a Pi, then make it Devuan only. Churlsh, but I don't care anymore.

14:57.28nemogordonDrogon: my OVH VM is devuan these days. it was fairly painless to swap out.
14:57.42nemogordonDrogon: I might be hurting their optimisations/dedupe or something, but whatever. not my prob 😝
14:58.34gordonDrogonhm. I have an OVH VM too. it's Debian jessie sas-systemd.
14:58.44gordonDrogonhow did you upgrade it to devuan?
14:59.01nemogordonDrogon: literally changed the apt lines ☺
14:59.18nemoupdated, glanced over list, seemed reasonable. fired it off and crossed fingers
14:59.24gordonDrogonoh. that works? I'll give it a go.. :)
14:59.26nemolow risk since if I screwed up could reset from console
14:59.30nemomaybe back up your data just in case
14:59.39gordonDrogonit's currently mostly sacrificial, so won't hurt.
14:59.51nemogordonDrogon: I use mine mostly to have a european IP
15:00.14gordonDrogonwelcome to our great gdpr overlords.
15:00.59fsmithredgordonDrogon, look at the migration from jessie guide: https://devuan.org/os/install
15:01.06gordonDrogonok, thanks.
15:01.15nemogordonDrogon: heh. that's one good reason, but it's handy to have for testing too, or accessing the odd french video w/ kids
15:01.37nemogordonDrogon: BTW, one reason I'm still on DVD Netflix.  Hollywood's stupid-ass using language barriers to control pricing model.
15:01.41nemoin streaming world
15:01.52gordonDrogonnods.
15:02.20nemowell, that and DVD selection is orderds of magnitude larger due to less hollywood control too
15:02.24nemo*orders

15:05.39gordonDrogonright.
15:07.09gordonDrogonok, so 2nd montor plugged in and working - I have a wrapper script round openshot to turn it on/off as I only use it when editing. life is sweet once again. cheap PC for lots of more goodness. £350 for a i7 refurbished Dell, 16GB RAM and 480GB SSD. Quite happy.
15:10.44FlibberTGibbetah, i'd love to have access to subbed French films, nemo :(
15:13.55openbsdtai123hi, I deboostrap with a arch64/arm64 (foreign, stage) the system of amd64 devuan stable onto /target (debv/sdc1). Now, stage2, how to run the stage2??
15:13.59nemoFlibberTGibbet: yeah. streaming world is a complete mess, and hollywood's determination to try and charge different prices based on local earnings for a product with no delivery barriers is entirely to blame
15:14.24nemowell. that and determination to try to chage as many times as possible to as many entities as possible, thus the "new contract for every provider" thing
15:14.32nemo*charge
15:14.59nemoFlibberTGibbet: but with DVD Netflix and a european IP, life is not too bad.  still has its annoyances though
15:17.27openbsdtai123gordonDrogon: I use 3 monitors with raspberry pi :) low energy and green power.
15:19.48nemoopenbsdtai123: I've been looking into moving my little gentoo server to rpi just to save power
15:20.06nemomy main issue is it has a modest number of files on it. I'm wondering if a 256GB SD card is a sane thing to do to a pi

15:27.48gordonDrogonfrom my Pi experiences, I'd boot the Pi off internal SD, then mount /home, etc. on external drive(s)/nas ..
15:31.09nemogordonDrogon: was kinda hoping to just have on pretty little package without any dangly external SSD, but, I suppose
15:32.15gordonDrogonyea, there is that too. 256GB on a µSD card... the size of my fingernail. I have a 128GB one on my GoPro and that's just bonkers..

16:23.46meep_____Your on a raspberry pi
16:24.03meep_____Isn't that like the modern equivalent of a Commodore64?
16:24.24meep_____You've got almost no power delivery buffer to your SoC
16:24.39meep_____Reliability isn't exactly of high priority here
16:25.02meep_____I'd think you'd be more concerned about wear on a dumb-NAND-flash device
16:26.12meep_____And how Devuan turns off all ext4 safety features in order to reduce NAND wear, and uses a fragmentation-preventing filesystem instead of a CoW filesystem, the reliability of your system disk on an sdcard is really out the window
16:26.37nemomeep_____: well, I'd probably move it from gentoo, so that'd help wear quite a lot
16:26.51nemomeep_____: only area there'd be significant writes would be /var/log and that is easily handled
16:26.53meep_____Maybe if you put ZFS or some other CoW FS on the sdcard, but I really don't think your OS should be on the sd
16:26.56meep_____Just boot
16:27.11MinceRan endurance SD card might also help
16:27.28nemoalso. if the SD card wears out, everything on there is backed up anyway
16:27.33meep_____Your USB power sully changes suddenly by +/- 0.03 volts and your kernel crashes
16:27.35nemojust drop in a new one.
16:27.50nemomeep_____: hm.... does that actually happen on pis still?
16:27.52nemonever encountered that
16:27.54meep_____And because all safety features were turned off on the sdcard your OS disk is full of truncated files
16:28.01nemomaybe with a really crappy power supply
16:28.04meep_____Yes
16:28.08meep_____This really happened
16:28.10meep_____To me
16:28.17meep_____With Devuan on a raspberry pi
16:28.17nemowell. truncation would be mostly in /var/log again. big whoop
16:28.31meep_____No it was all over the system, in /usr too
16:28.35nemobut obv annoying if it happened with any regularity
16:28.39nemomeep_____: huh. why?
16:28.51meep_____Run 'mount' and see why
16:29.05meep_____Look at those dangerous mount options
16:29.16meep_____I switched to NetBSD after seeing that for the pi
16:29.17nemomeep_____: no. I mean.. what on earth had open file handles in /usr
16:29.19nemowhere?
16:29.47meep_____I don't remember exactly
16:29.58meep_____I opened a bug about the issue ascii
16:30.01meep_____On the mailing list
16:30.20nemowelp. if you can dig it up. rather curious how that happened
16:30.22meep_____Suffice to say debsums reported lots of unhappiness
16:30.38nemotypically /usr only gets written to when updating
16:31.04meep_____/usr is normally mounted rw
16:31.10meep_____Not ro
16:31.12nemoand you'd think that'd be fairly rare. could run sync after update I guess. I know some friends from early linux days still haven't broken the sync reflex due to how unreliable things were way back when
16:31.16meep_____At least on a default install
16:31.18nemomeep_____: I'm aware. that's not my point
16:32.05nemoactually I don't even have /usr as a separate mount point anyway
16:32.22nemobut still.... file truncation should only be in areas being actively written to
16:32.40nemoyou typically get damage in /var - sucks hard for mariadb and such
16:33.05nemomy SO keeps hard powering off her devuan laptop. she's done it... dozens of times
16:33.09nemocan't get her to stop
16:33.23nemofile truncation every time. but always in non-critical locations. firefox cache, /var/log.
16:33.24meep_____Ounce the filesystem got corrupt
16:33.33meep_____It just got more and more and more as time went on
16:33.44nemoerm... that's not really how it works AFAIK...
16:33.52nemoat least w/ ext4
16:34.20meep_____Maybe not normally, but all safety features is turned off in the asii rpi install
16:34.29meep_____*ascii
16:35.15meep_____Your SO?
16:35.34nemoSignificant Other
16:35.51nemomeep_____: whether safety features are turned off or not, it shouldn't matter that a file that is open readonly is not going to be corrupted
16:36.00nemomeep_____: and /usr in a normal situation is only written to when updating
16:36.24nemoso scenario for /usr corruption seems to me to be one where you ran apt update and then OS died almost immediately after
16:36.32nemothat, or, far more likely, your SD card was bad to begin with
16:36.43nemobuying off amazon is a great way to get scam cards
16:36.43meep_____Well that's not the case
16:37.00meep_____Ever since netbsd the system has been running flawlessly
16:37.25nemomaybe all the bad sections were finally marked invalid. but yeah, no idea. do link me to bug report some time, kinda curious
16:37.31nemoI mean, not impossible, but sounds kinda magic

16:39.45nemomeep_____: again. I'm not saying it can't happen, I just can't understand how it happened
16:40.02nemoand, BSD is fine, been meaning to try it myself. you could also have, oh, changed mount options
16:40.16nemothis is not about excuses. I literally can't work up a scenario that is not rather low probability

18:51.42jonadabOk, once is a glitch, twice is a pattern.  Has anybody else had the ascii->beowulf upgrade go horrifically wrong, resulting in the network just plain not working?  I mean, everything _looks_ like it should be working (ifconfig looks happy, etc.), but no data are sent or received, at all?
18:53.00gnarfaceno, i haven't seen that, but i've gotten in some package tangles upgrading a couple times.  maybe something got blocked or overlooked?
18:53.45gnarfaceobviously regressions are possible but so far what you describe is at worst very rare
18:54.05gnarfaceis it wireless or ethernet?
18:54.09jonadabThe upgrade itself went fine, as far as that was concerned.  No complaints from apt.  (I did do a dist-upgrade on ascii before switching the sources to beowulf, due to past experiences with, umm, I think it was the lenny upgrade, convincing me this is a good practice.)
18:54.18jonadabEthernet.
18:54.29jonadabThese were both systems with more than one ethernet interface.
18:54.47gnarfaceok, and when you did the upgrade, you did a "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade" after switching to the beowulf sources, too, right?
18:54.54jonadabYes.
18:55.02gnarfacealright
18:55.11gnarfaceput your sources.list at paste.debian.net so i can sanity check it
18:55.21jonadabOne moment.
18:56.31jonadabhttp://paste.debian.net/1159928/
18:57.01gnarfacehmmm
18:57.13jonadabEverything package-wise appeared to go fine.
18:57.20gnarfacei don't know if us.mirror.devuan.org is wired up right though, that could be outdated
18:57.25gnarfaceit should be but i'm not sure
18:57.31gnarfacejust in case, try it with deb.devuan.org instead
18:57.42gnarfaceotherwise it's starting to look like a kernel issue
18:57.47jonadabBut after restarting on the new system, attempting to for example access the internet, failed because nothing could resolve.  And no, it's not a resolv.conf problem, I checked that.  And ssh to a known IP address also failed.
18:58.12gnarfacecan you ping another machine on the LAN?
18:58.22jonadabNo, that also failed.
18:59.02gnarfacetry it again with deb.devuan.org and see if that gives you a bunch of packages you didn't have yet
18:59.05jonadab(This isn't urgent right now, BTW.  I have an older system that I'd kept as a spare standing in.)
18:59.17gnarfaceotherwise you'll have to try a different kernel version - newer or older would be equally worth testing
18:59.35gnarfaceare you using the backports kernel?
18:59.46jonadabJust replace us.mirror.devuan.org with deb.devuan.org correct?
18:59.52gnarfacecorrect
19:00.23gnarfaceat best they're going the same place anyway.  at worst, us.mirror.* is going to outdated records
19:00.32jonadabNo, the only things I used from backports were what certbot needed, almost 100% sure that wasn't the kernel; and in any case the kernel got updated after switching the repos to beowulf.

19:01.06gnarfacewell if it's not the beowulf-backports kernel, then that's worth trying too
19:01.33gnarfaceif the upgrade left a 4.9 kernel still installed from ascii though you should be able to just reboot to it through the grub menu
19:01.48jonadabHmm, there's a thought.
19:02.15jonadabIn the past that didn't always work, due to things like glibc and udev not being compatible with a kernel from across releases.
19:02.43gnarfaceeh, it depends on what you're doing, but it should be at least capable of booting to a text terminal you can test the network with
19:02.52gnarfacegraphics might fail
19:03.13gnarfacei've booted headless beowulf servers with kernels as old as 4.1.x

19:12.52gnarfacejonadab: no volunteers in the US
19:13.00jonadabgnarface: Ok, that was my first guess.
19:13.13golinuxNo one has offered to host it.  We thought someone was going to but . . .
19:13.19gnarfacejonadab: there's only like a dozen mirrors to begin with

19:55.45jonadabHmm, new information:  the _other_ system where I had the same problem, was using us.deb.devuan.org, and when I switch it to deb.devuan.org and update, dist-upgrade does not offer a new kernel, or any other new packages, for that matter.
19:56.39jonadab(I managed to get one of the two ethernet interfaces working, in each case.)
19:57.05jonadab(Did I say that before?  I had to swap cables around to do it.)
20:00.21gnarfacejonadab: do they both have multiple ethernet devices?
20:00.36jonadabgnarface: They have two each.
20:00.41jonadabOne onboard, and one expansion card.

20:01.02gnarfacejonadab: do you have this file? /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
20:01.34gnarfacejonadab: make sure eth0 is even the right one anymore.  this could be at least part of the problem with both of them.
20:01.37jonadab... no, /etc/udev/rules.d exists but is empty.
20:01.45gnarfacehmm.
20:01.59gnarfaceis eudev running?
20:02.14gnarfaceudev or eudev, any udevd?
20:02.22jonadabLooks like udevd
20:02.30jonadabAccording to ps -A
20:03.03jonadabHmm, maybe now we are getting somewhere.  Unfortunately, I'm a little out of my depth.
20:03.18jonadabAt least we're not still using mknod
20:03.59jonadabI guess I should've paid more attention to the modern udev systems.
20:04.16jonadabThis stuff turns out to be important :-)
20:04.39gnarfacewell normally what's supposed to happen is the ethernet devices are identified by MAC in a specific order, which is cached in a file in /etc/udev/rules.d/
20:05.12gnarfacebut if something were to cause that order to be changed, or unexpectedly stay the same for that matter, it could invalidate your network configs
20:05.47gnarfaceif "/sbin/ifconfig -a" shows both ethernet devices, i'd say just try the other one
20:05.49jonadabIf it's as simple as changing my configs to refer to a different device (say, eth2 instead of eth1), I'm going to kick myself.
20:06.10gnarfacewell, there is still the issue of figuring out what happened to your persistent rules file
20:06.23gnarfaceyou're not using some weird init system are you?  this is just a stock sysvinit install, right
20:06.25gnarface?
20:06.42jonadabThis is pretty much a stock devuan install.
20:07.03gnarfaceif one of the network devices is USB, then that's a common cause of hysteresis in boot orders
20:07.07jonadabHas never had any systemd-encumbered version of Debian.
20:07.21gnarfacebut the persistent rules file from udev is supposed to prevent the boot order from mattering
20:07.31gnarfaceso something seems to have gone wrong there if so
20:07.37gnarfacebut it could still be a driver issue
20:07.52jonadabUSB theoretically shouldn't be involved, unless the onboard one is wired that way in the circuitboard for bizarre reasons.
20:08.05jonadabWhich would be odd, but I've heard of stranger things.
20:08.43jonadabYes, driver issue has crossed my mind, e.g., if a driver was dropped from the kernel so one of my devices is no longer supported.
20:09.06gnarfaceit wouldn't show up in "/sbin/ifconfig -a" though if that were the case
20:09.30gnarfacedo you see them both?
20:09.39jonadabOk, and it does.  I get three interfaces there, eth0, eth1, lo
20:09.59gnarfaceyea first of all try both of them
20:10.06gnarfaceeth0 and eth1
20:10.26gnarfaceand remember it's possible they got swapped somehow
20:10.32jonadabHmm, right.
20:10.43jonadabLet me see if I can get the other one to work, in isolation.
20:10.48gnarfaceworth a try
20:12.04jonadabHmm.
20:12.19jonadabNow I am confused why I couldn't get anything working before.
20:12.49jonadabAnd I *did* physically power it down and back up a couple of times while trying before, so doing that to bring it to my office isn't why it works now.
20:13.53gnarfacehaving an onboard ethernet device on the USB bus is not unheard-of for mobile devices but it would be weird for a desktop motherboard
20:14.09jonadab(I did that on the theory that swapping the cables -- which I did try -- might potentially require the eth cards to be power cycled.  It shouldn't, with modern equipment, which this is; but I saw that once on a really old system, so I tried a power cycle because, you know, never hurts to try that.)
20:14.11gnarfacepci boot orders aren't always as static as you'd like either though
20:14.20jonadabRight, this is a desktop motherboard.
20:14.24gnarfaceusually they're much more predictable though...
20:14.30jonadabRelatively recent -- too new to have traditional PCI ports.
20:14.37jonadabErr, ports is the wrong word.
20:14.38jonadabSlots.
20:14.57*** join/#devuan hufdufhv (~Thunderbi@123.234.229.29)
20:15.08gnarfacewhat brand is your ethernet switch?  is it d-link perchance?
20:15.11jonadabIt has the new kind, x1 and, umm, I think x16.  The eth card is x1.
20:15.39jonadabHmm, let me check.  (There are multiple switches involved -- I don't *think* any of them are dlink, but one moment...)
20:16.19gnarfacei have had one weird powermanagement bug with certain cheap unmanaged d-link switches that makes the link behave like it's dead even though the lights blink
20:16.31gnarfaceit only seems to effect old Dell bioses though
20:16.55gnarfacei suppose that's probably worth asking because i didn't; do you get link lights?
20:16.58jonadabOk, the relevant switches are made by TP-link and Cisco.
20:17.34jonadabAnd yes, the lights appear working.
20:17.46gnarfacewhen the Dell/D-link combo is acting up, the symptoms is that the link light comes on, and you even see arp and ping traffic cause the traffic lights to blink, but everything is returned 100% packet loss
20:17.47jonadabEverything *appears* working, except, you know, traffic doesn't go.
20:18.17jonadabIt's quite a weird thing.
20:18.31gnarfacereboot doesn't fix it, but cold boot does sometimes, and usually also just unplugging the cable and counting 10 whole seconds before plugging it in, or logging into the local console on the machine and just ifup && ifdown the interface after boot
20:19.07jonadabHmm.
20:19.26gnarfacethat particular bug has haunted me since about 2006 but always that particular combo; an old Dell on a D-link 24-port switch
20:19.37gnarfaceso since well before kernel 4.x
20:19.40jonadabOk, so now I have a system that appears to be working now, but I'm afraid to put it back in production.  Maybe I'll do it during an off time, when it won't matter if things are down for a few.
20:20.13jonadabhasn't kept up with what the kernel version is lately.
20:20.33gnarfaceer, actually this one is a 16-port switch, and in my head the other was 40-ports but my memory isn't what it used to be
20:20.40jonadabLast I knew, the new versions were 3.6, but that was a _while_ ago.
20:21.19gnarfacewait, do you know what happened to make it start working again?
20:21.24jonadabNo.
20:21.27jonadabI don't.
20:21.41jonadabI mean, I removed it from the production environment and brought it back to my office for study.
20:22.04gnarfaceanother data point to watch for is if it stops while in service - once the Dells doing this are up, they're fine as long as they stay powered up.  the issue only ever happens again if they've been off for more than ~22 hours
