01:25.16mexonHello all, I was wondering if anyone can recommend somewhere where I can find a comprehensive guide on sysvinit. I've searched around and all I can find are snippets of info here and there. I'm looking for an old-school beginning to end book/tutorial sort of thing about the init system. Thanks

01:29.03gnarfacemexon: if they haven't taken it down, the wiki pages for debian wheezy and earlier on the matter were the simplest condensation of it i recall seeing
01:29.49gnarfacemexon: it's actually not as complex of a thing as it seems
01:30.11*** join/#devuan Xenguy (~Xenguy@devuan/community/Xenguy)
01:30.14gnarfacemexon: (devuan hasn't really changed this part)
01:30.46mexonThanks,  maybe I'll check on archive.org.. I get that its not uber complex, but I like understanding things fully not just partially
01:32.01mexonFor example, I understand about the run-levels what I don't get is what determines the order in which the scripts are executed..
01:34.07gnarfacemexon: you want a reference for the "LSB headers"
01:34.27gnarfacemexon: (they look like comments, but there's a block of active logic amongst the header comments of most these init scripts)
01:35.38gnarfacemexon: second layer, overrides, are the symlinks in the rc?.d directories (somewhat intuitively named with "K" and "S" first-letters for start/kill, and numeric order identifiers, but the LSB headers take precedent if present)
01:35.50gnarfacemexon: (try this: ls -l /etc/rc?.d/)
01:36.32mexonright!, gotcha
01:37.12gnarfacemexon: there's a tool called "update-rc.d" (check "man update-rc.d") built-in for automating manipulating the shell scripts, but i don't know of any good tools for manipulating the LSB headers in an automated fashion.   they were all meant to be hand-managed
01:37.44gnarfacemexon: *symlinks i mean.  update-rc.d just manipulates those /etc/rc?.d/ symlinks
01:38.21mexonokay, really appreciate the info, I have a starting point to go from now..
01:38.35gnarfacemexon: and each symlink just points to a script in /etc/init.d/ that has an obligation to have certain default behaviors when responding to "start" and "stop" as command-line parameters, ec
01:38.45gnarfacemexon: and no problem
01:38.54*** join/#devuan Xenguy (~Xenguy@devuan/community/Xenguy)
01:39.20gnarfacemexon: there's not much else to it than just what i've mentioned.  there's an /etc/inittab that runs first.
01:39.53n4dirwondering about /etc/init.d/.depend.boot. But not that much
01:40.20mexonI came into linux during the transition.. Well I was there before but still very new to it all. Now I realise that I have a whole gap of knowledge here and so I'm filling in the blanks. So this has really been helpful.
01:40.50gnarfacen4dir: interesting, haven't noticed those before.  i have to imagine it's to do with package management?
01:41.18n4dirwell, such sure is beyond me, but looking at it it might be a reasonable order to start what when
01:41.25gnarfacen4dir: i'm not sure but those might be package preinst/postinst scripts and such
01:41.33n4dirI checked inittab, then manpages, and then ran in said file i never heard of before
01:42.00n4diri usually start or stop with /etc/init.d/stuff.d start/stop, and for permanent just use sysv-rc-conf
01:42.17gnarfaceno they're not package preinst/postinst scripts actually
01:43.00n4dirthe question asked by mexon sure is interesting, else i wouldn't have checked if i could figure out. But usually it just works via magic
01:43.12gnarfacealthough it might just be cached data of what the LSB headers are implying, now that i'm looking at it closer
01:43.52n4dirat least something where i think: if i had the interest, i *could* understand it. That is not the case for systemd

02:46.48EHeMI'll have to say, some of the issues `systemd` is pointing towards *are* issues, though `systemd` is the wrong solution (yes, rather a lot of things disolve in acids or bases).
02:48.08EHeMOne thing I would like to do to traditional `init`, add the ability to include files/directories into inittab.
02:50.56EHeMThen if you desired, when you plugged in a USB-serial cable, `eudev` could add a /run/inittab.d/ttyUSB0.getty file which simply added a respawning `getty` process (perhaps a silly example, but I needed an example).
02:53.52MinceRsounds like what xinetd did to inetd :>

03:19.55EHeMMinceR: I'm pretty sure xinetd had rather different goals; here I'm simply pointing out that `systemd` does have some points, even if the implementation was crap.

08:18.19unixbsdAfter installing apt-get install kde-standard on a clean system, there is no wireless working. Right click on wifi, enter key wpa, will result in prompot of root pass.
08:18.31unixbsdOnce you enter the root pass, it asks again,,.... in a loop
08:19.05unixbsdSo kde has no wireless working on devuan. debootstrap the base, apt-get install kde-standard, gives no wifi.
08:37.33gnarfacemissing a network management utility not sure why or which one, but i'm sure it can be installed manually
08:37.41gnarfacekde might use network-manager

08:58.38gnarfaceyou should be able to with ifconfig or iwconfig, if you mean what i think
09:06.19Deknosnmcli manages dhcp requests and stuff like that. ifconfig and iwconfig do not care about that, do they?
09:14.02gnarfacei wasn't aware unmanaged mode had anything to do with dhcp
09:14.10gnarfaceyou don't mean wireless ad-hoc networking?
09:17.37gnarfacethe dhcp client is what actually handls dhcp requests

18:06.13WafficusHi there, I have a question about adding a user to the 'sudo' list. I installed the 'sudo' command through 'apt' on Devuan, and I did: usermod -aG sudo sam
18:06.45Wafficusyet when I'm present as the 'sam' user, its still saying: 'sam is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported'
18:06.59Wafficusdo I have to reboot the machine for the 'sudo' group changes to take into effect?
18:07.35n4dirlog out and back in, iirc
18:09.06gnarfaceWafficus: i don't think that sudoers line is uncommented in the default sudo config file.  you should double check.
18:09.52gnarfaceWafficus: but in my memory i was pretty sure debian leaves that commented-out in the stock config
18:10.20Wafficusyeah I uncommented that section in the /etc/sudoers as well
18:10.27Wafficusbut I just restarted and will see if it took into effect
18:10.31Wafficusget the feeling a reboot is necessary
18:10.40gnarfaceno, but logging out all the way would be
18:10.57gnarfaceand if you're using a graphical login manager, it might need to be restarted, but not the whole kernel
18:11.02WafficusI rebooted anyway
18:11.03gnarfacesudoers operates in userspace
18:11.08Wafficusbut still same thing happens
18:11.08gnarfaceshouldn't hurt anything either
18:11.09Wafficusmore so
18:11.14Wafficuspoweroff doesn't work either even as root
18:11.18gnarfacehmmm
18:11.19WafficusI literally have to go to /sbin/shutdown -r now
18:11.25Wafficusto do that action
18:11.32Wafficusthat's another weird quirk I noticed
18:11.32gnarfacecan you paste your sudoers file?
18:11.34fsmithredelogind/libpam-elogind?
18:11.38Wafficusyeah sure one sec
18:11.47gnarfaceseems like you might be missing something though, yea
18:12.09gnarfacethe thing about poweroff buttons not working sounds like a permissions backend package thing
18:12.12fsmithredand/or policykit-1-gnome (for shutdown buttons)
18:12.18Wafficuswait weird, I had an /etc/sudoers file before...
18:12.19fsmithredbuttons/menu
18:12.24WafficusBEFORE I did the usermod command
18:12.26Wafficusnow when I go to /etc
18:12.30Wafficusthe sudoers file is blank :/
18:12.33Wafficuswhat in the heck
18:13.13Wafficusdoes that usermod command overwrite the /etc/sudoers file when it adds a person to the group?
18:13.55*** join/#devuan sb35 (~sb35@184.75.215.8)
18:14.05fsmithredno way would usermod mess with sudoers
18:14.12Wafficushmm it says /etc/sudoers is not readable
18:14.15Wafficusidk why that is
18:14.24Wafficuswhen I originally opened it it said it was readonly in Vim
18:14.34Wafficusso I did :w! to save my changes as root anyway before
18:14.38fsmithredyou did 'visudo'?
18:14.38Wafficusnow its corrupted i'm guessing, not sure why
18:14.40Wafficusso
18:14.42Wafficus*no
18:14.51fsmithredthat's why read-only
18:15.10gnarfaceWafficus: for the future, there are several good reasons why they say never use anything other than visudo.  i happen to know you can safely use other editors for the visudo command besides vi, but do use it.
18:15.11fsmithredyou can also put your own sudo configs in a file in /etc/sudoers.d/
18:15.26fsmithredand you don't need to use visudo for those files
18:15.26gnarfaceyea or this^
18:16.19gnarfaceunless my my memory is wrong, visudo will obey the $EDITOR environment variable
18:16.52gnarface(i like to switch mg for vi)
18:17.13gnarface(in general for EDITOR - i typically don't use sudo though)
18:20.58Wafficusso in a case like this...
18:21.08Wafficusdo I have to reinstall Devuan to get back my /etc/sudoers file
18:21.10Wafficus?
18:22.22fsmithredjust reinstall sudo
18:23.17Wafficusok I uninstalled sudo via apt
18:23.19Wafficusand reinstalled it
18:23.29Wafficusthough 'visudo: command not found'
18:23.38Wafficusdo you also have to install the 'visudo' command as well?
18:25.30gnarfaceprobably
18:25.49gnarfacealso, when you uninstall stuff, add "--purge"
18:25.57gnarface(that way it'll blast out conflicting/old configs)
18:27.05Wafficusyeah even visudo isn't still found when I reinstall after purging
18:27.09WafficusI think I'll just reinstall Devuan
18:27.28fsmithredthat's overkill
18:27.30Wafficusvisudo comes by default with sudo
18:27.41gnarfacewell, only you know at this point if you've done enough damage to it to really need a full reinstall
18:27.42fsmithredI've never had to install it separately
18:27.46fsmithredit=visudo

18:28.28gnarfaceyou shouldn't need to reinstall the whole OS just because you botched your sudoers file though.  that is a sign of something much bigger wrong with the install, some prior damage not yet covered by this conversation
18:28.50gnarface(usually it means you mixed repos you shouldn't have)
18:29.15gnarface(though sometimes this happens on unstable or testing occasionally just due to upstream fuckups)
18:29.23Wafficushonestly
18:29.37WafficusI just want the Devuan box to be up and running ASAP so I can get my Gentoo VM installed again and to tweak that
18:29.44Wafficusso yeah I'll just reinstall it, will take up to 5 mins tops
18:30.05WafficusI don't have time to spend all day just to fix sudoers file that just won't fix itself at this point
18:30.21WafficusI don't have any data on that drive anyway since its just a VM type drive so yeah, will see if a reinstall works instead
18:30.23gnarfaceas long as you got the bandwidth and you're just needing a minimal install, i have to admit it's probably faster than figuring out what you did.  but at some point you're gonna want to figure out how to stop doing it again.
18:30.57gnarfacei'd estimate the fastest install time to be around 20 minutes though
18:31.04gnarface5 might be a bit unrealistic
18:31.12gnarfacedon't fool yourself
18:31.44n4dirI'd say one cigarette, preparing a coffee and visiting the ladies room is enough time
18:31.58n4dirhitting the enter key in between though
18:32.58Wafficusif you knew how minimal I keep my setups
18:33.02Wafficusliterally only use AwesomeWM and Openbox
18:33.14n4dirmost do that
18:33.20Wafficusafter I get it installed, its just a matter of doing a quick apt install with all of the components in my install guide
18:33.22Wafficusnot hard at all
18:33.42Wafficusbut yeah I guess, don't edit the stupid (F#$(!) /etc/sudoers file is what I learned
18:33.44Wafficusnot a prob
18:33.54Wafficuswill just do visudo and hopefully that works instead
18:34.03Wafficusrather I will probably just do
18:34.07n4dirone idea might be to backkup all of /etc after the setup is finished
18:34.08Wafficususermod -aG sudo sam
18:34.30Wafficusmaybe, but again, I just wanna get back to working on my Gentoo VM to move that forward
18:34.39Wafficusso that I can live in Gentoo and move over in 6 months
18:34.44WafficusI only use Devuan as the hub for VM's on that drive anyway
18:34.53Wafficusvia kvm + virt-manager *
18:36.55gnarfacereally, back up /etc if nothing else
18:36.59gnarfaceit takes up almost no space

18:40.18n4diri ususally put it in /root . Forgot it for this install, checked, and it's 8.8 MB
18:40.44n4dirwhy /root ? Well: as there is nothing else, no need to hunt for it :-)
18:41.26fsmithred10 minute install from live-iso
18:41.38n4dirha ha. And that is even long, i guess
18:41.40fsmithredno idea how you do a 5-minute install
18:41.43gnarfacenot bad
18:41.45n4dirI remove a bit beofre i install
18:41.55gnarface5-minute install, if possible, would require a local mirror and a preseeding file
18:42.04r3boot23
18:42.18fsmithredI should play with overlays sometime and figure out how to do a minimal or full install from the same iso
18:42.59n4diroverlay?
18:44.00gnarfacen4dir: live images use mask overlays in the filesystem
18:44.13*** join/#devuan systemdlete (~systemdle@c-73-66-100-152.hsd1.ca.comcast.net)
18:44.14gnarfacen4dir: conceptually it's like a mask overlay in photoshop, but you know... with files
18:44.34gnarfacemetaphorically it's like a mask
18:45.25Wafficusbase install is 5 mins tops, idk what you guys are talking about
18:45.33Wafficusits the min install ISO though
18:45.43n4dirgnarface: thanks a lot for trying, but it looks such is above me
18:45.44gnarfaceWafficus: you might just have a really fast machine?
18:46.39gnarfacen4dir: the implementation is still above me, too, but it's a way to transparently combine multiple partial installs (some of them being read-only) into something that looks like a single complete install to the kernel
18:47.28n4dirthat sounds even worse than metaphysics. :-)
18:47.31fsmithredn4dir, you know how a persistent partition in a live-usb has the structure of the whole filesystem but only contains the files that have been changed?
18:47.47n4diroh, yeah, kinda.
18:47.50fsmithredit overlays those changed files on top of the read-only filesystem
18:48.07n4dirok. I think i understand
18:48.09fsmithredso get to boot with your changed settings
18:48.28fsmithredthe original files are invisible, covered by the edited ones
18:48.53fsmithredmy thought would be to have one overlay for a minimal system and another that adds the desktop system
18:49.04n4diruhum.
18:49.05fsmithredboot the one you want to use or install
18:49.06gnarfacei think it's a good idea
18:49.12fsmithredthe instaler just installs whatever is running
18:49.18gnarfaceooh, i wonder if you could tie the layers to the runlevels
18:49.28gnarfacehow neat would that be?
18:49.41gnarfaceget a whole new rootfs for every runlevel
18:49.47fsmithrednot sure if that would work, but it might
18:50.00gnarfacei'm not aware of the load implications of swtiching on the fly like that
18:50.09gnarfaceseems like it could be a neat trick if it wasn't slow though
18:50.10fsmithrednormally you control persistent partition mounts with live-config options

18:54.03fsmithredare you doing some fine-grained sudo or just bazooka sudo?
18:55.56Wafficuspure basics
18:55.57Wafficusthat's it
18:56.04Wafficusjust wanna elevate to root as a super user
18:56.18n4dirwhy?
18:57.38Wafficusbecause... basic things like sudo poweroff are nice to use...
18:58.19fsmithredyou can set sudo for just selected commands. Safer that way.

19:02.34Wafficusso do I just save in Nano and quit at this moment?
19:02.40miskatonicwho wants to remove su altogether? Torvalds?
19:02.40n4diri thought you can pick that during installation, btw
19:02.57fsmithredif you put yourself in the sudo group, you can use sudo for all commands
19:02.59n4dirmiskatonic: Wafficus only wants sudo.
19:03.02fsmithredwithout editing sudoers
19:03.08Wafficuswell
19:03.10WafficusI'm already doing visudo
19:03.16Wafficusso we're already editing some form of it
19:03.32fsmithreddo you want all commands or just shutdown/reboot?
19:03.34Wafficus^ my latest comment above applies, should I just save the file that opened in visudo if its already uncommented the correct line?
19:03.39Wafficusall commands honestly
19:03.45fsmithredyeah, exit
19:03.50Wafficussave and exit
19:03.50fsmithredyou didn't make any changes
19:03.51miskatonicvisudo can be configured to use nano
19:03.51Wafficusor just exit?
19:03.53Wafficusah gotcha
19:03.55Wafficusok
19:03.56gnarfaceWafficus: yes save & exit, it will do the right thing with the tmp file if you launched it with visudo
19:04.04fsmithredadduser sam sudo
19:04.07fsmithredlogout/login
19:04.28gnarfaceWafficus: i assume it's using nano instead of vi because you messed with $EDITOR, alternatives, or you just removed all other editors?
19:04.28fsmithreduser has to log out and in, not just root
19:04.37Wafficusno, its just the default editor
19:04.42Wafficushaven't added any of my dot files at all yet
19:04.52gnarfaceshould work
19:05.15gnarfaceyou should see it actually saving to a tmp file but then something else moves the temp file for you and fixes permissions
19:05.49Wafficusso
19:05.58Wafficusi didn't make any changes
19:06.02Wafficusafter I did visudo as root
19:06.10WafficusI logged out technically via tty prompt
19:06.13Wafficuslogged back in as sam
19:06.20fsmithredsudo blkid
19:06.26WafficusI then became root and did: usermod -aG sudo sam
19:06.37n4diroh boy.

19:07.10Wafficusthat worked after logging out the second time
19:07.15fsmithredyup
19:07.19Wafficusphew, the old tried and true way still works

19:08.17WafficusI did it before
19:08.22Wafficusover 2 or 3 weekends of attempts
19:08.30WafficusI make install guides to make it easy
19:08.39Wafficusso yeah idk, but I wanted to give it a shot
19:08.42Wafficusthough to be totally honest
19:08.52Wafficusit was compiling something from source, and that same SSD drive went into read only mode last weekend
19:09.09Wafficusso... yeah if it does the same BS again, I'll just try FreeBSD instead since that drive might be tempermental
19:09.30gnarfacegot enough ram?  maybe just build stuff in a ramdisk
19:09.33Wafficusthought hardware =/ software so yeah, different things, but its still enough to be a time waster
19:09.37Wafficus16 gigs of ram
19:09.38Wafficusi7
19:09.40Wafficusthis PC is ok lol
19:09.42gnarfaceshould be enough for most stuff
19:09.56gnarfaceshould be enough to build the kernel but not arm efl hehe
19:10.09Wafficusyeah I'm going for a configured kernel this attempt
19:10.15Wafficusmore so because that kernel menu is a hell hole
19:10.24WafficusI have never seen something so unorganized in my entire lifetime
19:10.30Wafficusand yes, I tried the "search" and it doesn't work
19:10.36gnarfaceit has been getting worse as more hardware vendors are contributing
19:10.46Wafficuslike the instructions are ok, but trying to dive into the sub menus in that ncurses menu is like the most frustrating thing on earth
19:11.02gnarfacethe open source guys usually follow the established patterns, but commercial vendors like to ram their code in like a derailed freight train
19:11.10gnarfacelinus is just one guy
19:12.11gnarfacewhat the real key is, is just recogizing what you're not using, and disabling it all
19:12.43gnarfacebut the time that takes for one guy to do starting from a vanilla kernel, has in the past decade has escalated from 8 hours to 2 days
19:13.14n4dirnothing beats the fun of having to  recompile the kernel for 5 times cause 5 times you forgot something
19:13.21gnarfaceyea
19:13.32gnarfacebut computers have gotten WAY faster at it, so that's good at least
19:13.50n4diri guess if you really do it it gets ok, but it sure ain't my thing
19:14.07gnarfacewe're getting offtopic now
19:14.29gnarfacebut anyway, yea i guess the moral is, log out after you change groups

21:02.29fsmithredphidoux, someone else came here with PA problems in chimaera, and he claimed that I helped him, but I have no idea what I did.
