| 00:58.20 | pixtum | Hello, I recently installed devaun using the netinstall version of Beowulf and after the installer finished it didn't enable sudo, I tried running visudo but that didn't seem to work (says it's missing) |
| 01:04.51 | gnarface | pixtum: it's maybe not in your path by default |
| 01:05.02 | gnarface | pixtum: dpkg -S visudo |
| 01:05.53 | gnarface | you will need to add users to the sudo group |
| 01:06.34 | gnarface | pixtum: i think you might have to uncomment the sudoers line in the config too, i forget |
| 01:07.07 | gnarface | pixtum: note that the default behavior of "su" also no longer inherits root's path so you should use "su -" to get the behavior you expect in that case |

| 01:57.10 | systemdlete | So I start with a brand-new VM. Clear out .mozilla directory. start firefox. Configure it to restore previous session. go to a static page I created. quit firefox |
| 01:58.06 | systemdlete | open firefox. There is just one tab open, to my static page. tcpdump, meanwhile is yacking away with packets to and from amazon, verizon, akamai, and some others. |
| 01:58.19 | systemdlete | I am going to guess this is normal, but... but... |
| 01:58.23 | systemdlete | why? |
| 01:58.51 | systemdlete | why all of this noise, with only one open tab in firefox on a static page??? |

| 02:01.03 | systemdlete | OK, I'll try getting rid of pocket, but does this mean it is "preloading" all that $#1+ ? |
| 02:01.26 | systemdlete | (so it will be ready to annoy me when I *DO* open a new tab?) |
| 02:02.04 | gnarface | probably |
| 02:02.08 | gnarface | i can't be sure |
| 02:02.26 | gnarface | i think also something about the search bar preferences might phone home |
| 02:02.49 | gnarface | and maybe a password manager, depending on your settings? |

| 02:03.27 | systemdlete | I'd hope ddg would shut the %*&k up |
| 02:03.34 | gnarface | they might also be sneaking in telemetry with those, or accidentally turning it back on |
| 02:03.46 | systemdlete | I'm going to disable pocket AND snippets |
| 02:03.48 | gnarface | in theory anyway |
| 02:03.53 | gnarface | i would |
| 02:04.09 | gnarface | snippets i thought should have been disabled by default in the repo pacakge |

| 02:04.51 | gnarface | i would probably set the default home page to about:blank too |
| 02:05.26 | gnarface | a local static html page should be about the same as long as it doesn't have any remote http calls itself |

| 02:07.58 | gnarface | dns over https? is that enabled by default now too? |
| 02:08.34 | systemdlete | still getting aws crap |

| 06:02.33 | systemdlete | so I am still shopping for a video card. I forgot now which ones would work best with devuan beowulf. |
| 06:02.48 | systemdlete | (sorry, I know there are no ideal answers to this) |
| 06:03.07 | systemdlete | didn't you say the amd based ones might be ok? |
| 06:04.57 | gnarface | systemdlete: yes, their street cred is good lately |
| 06:05.17 | systemdlete | so does that mean only recent amd models? |
| 06:05.59 | gnarface | systemdlete: nah, the older ones should be pretty good too |
| 06:06.12 | systemdlete | ok, I see at least one on newegg |
| 06:06.28 | gnarface | systemdlete: their linux support is solid, the older cards just aren't very fast |
| 06:07.00 | onefang | For Beowulf it might be best to not get recent generations of AMD graphics, though the same likely applies to recent generations of nVidia as well. |
| 06:07.22 | systemdlete | onefang: Right on! |
| 06:07.34 | onefang | I got an AMD RX 5600 XT, had to hack around a bit to get it to work perfectly with Beowulf. |
| 06:07.37 | gnarface | it isn't until you get to the very late radeonsi generations and early amdgpu stuff that the performance starts holding it's own against the equivalent nvidia hardware |
| 06:07.45 | systemdlete | I tend to stay away from recent hardware altogether. I am still on Athlon and FX series processors here. |
| 06:08.30 | onefang | I recently upgraded to a full bleeding edge AMD system. |
| 06:08.34 | gnarface | well even nvidia's 1000 series cards, which they already consider old, are too new to run on the stock beowulf kernel & drivers, but the ones in backports work |
| 06:08.42 | systemdlete | be careful you don't cut yourself! |
| 06:09.10 | onefang | looks at the healing wounds on my fingers. Um, too late. lol |
| 06:09.16 | systemdlete | :( |
| 06:09.17 | gnarface | systemdlete: the other one i suggested was matrox if you could find one |
| 06:09.33 | systemdlete | there is one there. $64 Corn I think? |
| 06:09.39 | systemdlete | or was it korn |
| 06:09.43 | gnarface | systemdlete: too much |
| 06:09.59 | gnarface | you want like a matrox g200 for $9 |
| 06:10.45 | gnarface | not sure about korn or corn |

| 06:11.12 | gnarface | oh, never heard of them |
| 06:11.20 | systemdlete | cheapest hdmi for radeon is $43 |
| 06:13.41 | gnarface | will need firmware, will work with the radeon driver |
| 06:14.05 | gnarface | according to google anyway |
| 06:14.13 | gnarface | looks like it should do it |
| 06:14.32 | gnarface | i'm not sure maybe the radeon firmware is open source now though |
| 06:14.37 | gnarface | you'll have to check though |
| 06:14.45 | gnarface | this looks new enough it's probably not |
| 06:14.53 | gnarface | but not new enough to use the amdgpu driver, it's still using the radeon driver |
| 06:15.12 | systemdlete | We're still talking about the Corn? |
| 06:15.17 | gnarface | this i think suggests you can get a very stark performance boost by rebuilding the kernel with the radeonsi scheduler btw |
| 06:15.26 | gnarface | yes |
| 06:15.43 | gnarface | the only thing is it looks like a budget card with cheap ram and i've never heard of that brand so i can't be sure it's any good |
| 06:15.46 | systemdlete | this is for a test box, but I get your meaning. |
| 06:16.42 | systemdlete | good is the key word here. Good enough to work is all I need. |
| 06:19.32 | onefang | Look at when the kernel you are using got released, look at the graphics cards supported by that kernel, back up one generation from then. |
| 06:20.51 | clort | i got the ryzen2700u and gpu didn't work at all due to a bad BIOS implementation by Acer |

| 06:25.58 | onefang | $40 with shipping from Amazon? That's be a photo of a graphics card in a huge box. |
| 06:26.46 | systemdlete | ??? |
| 06:26.59 | systemdlete | sorry, having difficulty understanding what you are saying. |
| 06:27.23 | onefang | That in my experience Amazon shipping is sometimes over the top expensive. lol |
| 06:27.56 | systemdlete | you know, I am tempted to go back to my plan A: Order a dvi-hdmi adapter and go back to doing other things that I care about a lot more. |
| 06:28.23 | onefang | Sounds much simpler. |
| 06:28.30 | systemdlete | very simple |
| 06:28.45 | hook54321 | does anyone know if a machine like this would work well with devuan? https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-tuf-gaming-15-6-laptop-intel-core-i5-8gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1650-ti-256gb-ssd-black/6425894.p |

| 06:35.59 | systemdlete | Done. Adapter/converter on its way. |
| 06:36.42 | systemdlete | Meanwhile, I am still trying to figure out why my devuan install on my test box somehow rendered the other partitions unbootable. |
| 06:37.20 | systemdlete | I've tried using grub, grubrescuecd, bootrescue, and a few others. The gpt is still there, but nothing boots as before. |
| 06:37.32 | systemdlete | even the ascii partition that was on it is kaputt. |
| 06:37.45 | systemdlete | it is only a testbox after all. I just wonder why this would happen. |
| 06:38.36 | systemdlete | For me, I can easily afford to torpedo the whole damn disk and repartition it from scratch. I don't care. But this is a bit unnerving. I am thinking of what could happen with the box I use regularly. |
| 06:38.46 | systemdlete | when I upgrade to beowulf I mean. |
| 06:40.09 | systemdlete | Do we (devuan/debian) have some handy-dandy tool to analyze the entire disk for partitioning, partion boundaries, etc? |
| 06:41.26 | clort | well hardware compatibility with linux kernel affects devuan, though it's not devuan-specific |
| 06:42.38 | systemdlete | so that video card that rots might have something to do with it? It seems far-fetched, but at this point, I'd buy into that theory. |
| 06:43.51 | n4dir | fdisk, parted, gparted, probably more |
| 06:44.07 | systemdlete | The only other thing I can think of... and this is probably just as far-fetched, is that I was playing with kvm VMs (virt-manager) and I am wondering if maybe there is some bug somewhere that might have nicked my gpt somehow. |
| 06:45.06 | systemdlete | n4dir, see above. I've tried them all at this point. None of them indicate any problem with the partioning, though. It's just that none of them will boot properly. The nearest I got was landing in a grub rescue shell or a initramfs env |
| 06:45.18 | systemdlete | I guess I should have mentoned this also. |

| 10:28.05 | systemdlete | debian/devuan lovers might hate this, idk. On my testbox, with the video card that doesn't work so hot (blank screens, e.g. and possibly other unstable behavior), the ONLY OS I've been able to boot so far (all my partitions came back? Even when the devuan installer said it only found 1 OS?) that would boot was not devuan. |
| 10:28.26 | systemdlete | It was my adelie. And that's a very old install, btw. I don't think that is even RC2. |
| 10:29.53 | systemdlete | It booted right up into sddm. No hesitation, no flashing, no stuttering, no nothing. Just some old-fashioned desktop goodness. |
| 10:30.44 | systemdlete | Adelie *is* running with a much newer kernel. It is 5.4.5 iirc with some backports for 64 bit time (I think). |
| 10:31.23 | systemdlete | So maybe it has newer video drivers for the nouveau (adelie doesn't support proprietary software as much as possible) |
| 10:32.02 | systemdlete | but that grub business really makes my head spin. I do not get that at all. |
| 10:33.17 | systemdlete | When I tried to boot the justnow-installed beowulf, it started out OK, but when it got to the graphical phase, the screen went dark and that was the last I heard from it. I even waited a couple of minutes, since maybe it was testing various video modes. |
| 10:33.52 | systemdlete | same for the ascii partition, which has been there forever just about. I haven't done much with that one for many months now. |

| 10:40.09 | systemdlete | (thank you onefang. It feels good to be "loved" that way...) |
| 10:40.10 | onefang | You can't have both? |
| 10:40.16 | systemdlete | true |
| 10:41.13 | systemdlete | Is passing "3" the kernel command line at boot not the way to get console? (I thought it was "1" not "3") |
| 10:43.49 | systemdlete | oh... is that for systemd maybe (I didn't notice that the 1st time I read that link) |
| 10:44.33 | onefang | If you are talking sysv init run levels, 1 might be correct off the top of my head. |
| 10:44.53 | fsmithred | 3 will get you to multi-user console on some distros that are set up for that. |
| 10:45.15 | fsmithred | refracta is one, sidux was one, I think others might be like that. |
| 10:45.17 | systemdlete | right. Seems like the old standard has morphed and diverged considerably. |
| 10:45.33 | fsmithred | what old standard? |
| 10:45.44 | systemdlete | So, basically, for us non-systemd folk, 1 single (console) and 3 for graphical |
| 10:45.57 | fsmithred | redhat and suse have 5 as default runlevel. |
| 10:46.11 | fsmithred | in debian, 2-5 are all the same |
| 10:46.21 | fsmithred | and 2 is default |
| 10:46.25 | onefang | The old "standard" of which sysv init runlevels mean what. Not sure it ever was standardised outside of actual System-V. |
| 10:46.26 | fsmithred | well, not anymore... |
| 10:46.31 | systemdlete | fsmithred: I don't remember clearly now. But it seems like years ago, 1 or S was single user and would get you a console. 5 would get graphical on most systems (Sun or Amdahl) |
| 10:46.52 | fsmithred | 1 is single user everywhere, I think |
| 10:46.56 | systemdlete | and for a while, 6 was reboot |
| 10:47.04 | fsmithred | still is, isn't it? |
| 10:47.09 | systemdlete | except in systemd land, apparently |
| 10:47.12 | systemdlete | (see link) |
| 10:47.40 | fsmithred | yeah, not instead of a single digit, you get to type a whole bunch of words |
| 10:47.50 | fsmithred | not/now |

| 10:56.43 | systemdlete | no |
| 10:56.51 | systemdlete | In fact, I've never tried those ever |
| 10:57.49 | systemdlete | I tried "1" and I get a maintenance prompt. "3" got me to the sddm login (once at least). |
| 10:57.50 | fsmithred | it was beowulf that gave you graphical login with 3? |
| 10:57.55 | systemdlete | yeah |
| 10:58.11 | systemdlete | Let me try that again and see if it is consistent. Gimme a sec |
| 10:58.15 | fsmithred | that shouldn't make any difference |
| 11:02.47 | systemdlete | this time, "3" just hangs in darkness. I don't know, maybe it will come up at some point... some day |
| 11:03.00 | fsmithred | oh, I've seen that |
| 11:03.13 | fsmithred | in beowulf, before we released it |
| 11:03.17 | systemdlete | I mean, like more than a minute |
| 11:03.21 | fsmithred | yes |

| 11:04.44 | onefang | Though it does include some root vegies. B-) |
| 11:05.18 | systemdlete | fsmithred: The first time, when "3" got me to the gui, I shelled out to tty2 and got a login prompt. Pretty normal. |
| 11:05.43 | fsmithred | did you try booting with 'nomodeset'? |
| 11:06.02 | systemdlete | Then I tried to switch back to tty7 and nogo. Also tried tty1 (though normally it is on tty7, but console x startup can end up in tty1 also) |
| 11:06.22 | fsmithred | those are all good things to try |
| 11:06.27 | systemdlete | yes. I've tried that in the past. It does work, but... uh. It looks like a Commodore 64. |
| 11:06.43 | fsmithred | lol, wasn't so bad for me. |
| 11:07.07 | systemdlete | fsmithred: :p |
| 11:07.20 | systemdlete | happy you are having better results |
| 11:07.25 | fsmithred | I had an old nvidia card and got black screen without nomodeset. Then I replaced it with a newer nvidia card and got a black screen with nomodeset. |

| 11:08.53 | fsmithred | no kidding. Whatever video I watched last would show up on the login screen. |
| 11:08.54 | systemdlete | hey, just tried the shelling out trick. Was able to see all 6 consoles. But could not switch back to the black screen of tty7 |
| 11:09.15 | fsmithred | anything in .xsession-errors? |

| 11:10.03 | systemdlete | I'd be hacking away the same way |

| 11:10.52 | fsmithred | there's a chimaera iso in the same directory, but no X installed in that one. |
| 11:11.00 | systemdlete | That might make things a tad easier I suppose. |
| 11:11.21 | systemdlete | well, I can always add x later can't I? |
| 11:11.38 | systemdlete | OK, I'll try that. |

| 11:12.21 | fsmithred | no travel is allowed!!! |
| 11:12.37 | fsmithred | just put it on a usb stick and boot it |
| 11:12.44 | systemdlete | It takes me forever to install these. That's because I ponder over every last step in expert mode. |
| 11:12.49 | systemdlete | OH! |
| 11:12.53 | systemdlete | I thought you mean install |
| 11:13.07 | fsmithred | why install if you don't know if it works? |
| 11:13.09 | systemdlete | You just want to see if the graphics card works with it. |
| 11:13.27 | systemdlete | Because it's 3am here and I've been up since about 7am yesterday |
| 11:14.11 | fsmithred | I don't want to see anything. |
| 11:14.43 | fsmithred | oh wait, the chimaera iso does have X. Just no login manager. |
| 11:15.15 | fsmithred | and 5.9 kernel |
| 11:15.36 | systemdlete | I'll try that in the... well, whenever I get up, OK? Then I'll report back what I found out. |

| 12:20.06 | IanJ | kreyren: are you trying to get sound working? |
| 12:20.15 | kreyren | IanJ, yes >.> |
| 12:20.35 | kreyren | i got it to work like 5 days ago here installing some package and running `something init` O.o |
| 12:20.41 | kreyren | but i don't have log >.> |
| 12:21.14 | IanJ | let me see what I have installed |
| 12:21.19 | kreyren | oke o.o |
| 12:21.26 | kreyren | thanku ^-^ |
| 12:21.43 | IanJ | you probably want pulseaudio |
| 12:21.50 | kreyren | is trying to fix this for hour and half and is depressed over his failure to do that |
| 12:21.53 | kreyren | IanJ, ideally yes |
| 12:22.06 | IanJ | so apt-get install pulseaudio |
| 12:22.20 | kreyren | already installed |
| 12:23.00 | IanJ | I also have alsa-utils and alsa-tools installed |
| 12:23.22 | IanJ | ah, there was one thing I forgot |
| 12:23.27 | kreyren | alsa-utils already installed, alsa-tools installing now |
| 12:24.43 | IanJ | In my user directory I put pulseaudio --start in ~/.xsessionrc |
| 12:24.58 | IanJ | Otherwise the pulseaudio sound deamon isn't started it seems. |
| 12:25.07 | IanJ | not sure if that's the correct fix, but that was my fix. |
| 12:25.20 | kreyren | pulseaudio daemon running already |
| 12:26.07 | IanJ | Ok, well you installed some other stuff now, so I would either reboot or restart it. |
| 12:26.32 | kreyren | x.x |
| 12:26.37 | IanJ | I had something funky going on where pulseaudio was running but I had no sound and pavaumixer couldn't see my soundcard. |
| 12:26.48 | IanJ | but after I restarted the daemon it could. |
| 12:26.54 | IanJ | and now everything is working ok. |
| 12:28.30 | IanJ | Try running pavucontrol and adjusting the sound settings, check your card is listed and selected. |
| 12:28.36 | IanJ | sometimes they are muted. |
| 12:31.19 | kreyren | I think i found the issue i am running it in qubesOS and the sound driver is not relayed correctly and that it needs `alsactl init` to work O.o So i will resolve that part with them |
| 12:31.27 | kreyren | thanks IanJ ^-^ |
| 12:32.23 | IanJ | No problem |
| 12:32.58 | IanJ | I recently installed devuan and had an issue getting the sound working too. |
| 12:33.43 | fsmithred | pavucontrol? |
| 12:33.55 | kreyren | fsmithred, eh? |
| 12:34.00 | fsmithred | and /etc/pulse/somenthing... |
| 12:34.12 | fsmithred | pavucontrol installed? |
| 12:34.20 | kreyren | fsmithred, yes pavucontrol is installed |
| 12:34.33 | kreyren | the userland seems configured, but i am not getting the driver in /dev/../cards x.x |
| 12:34.39 | fsmithred | and you did the edit for autospawn? |
| 12:35.04 | kreyren | no i am deploying pulseaudio through xinitrc using `pulseaudio -D` O.o |
| 12:35.36 | fsmithred | I think last time I told you 'aplay -l' |
| 12:35.42 | fsmithred | and you figured out something from that |
| 12:35.59 | kreyren | user@personal:~$ aplay -l |
| 12:35.59 | kreyren | aplay: device_list:274: no soundcards found.. |
| 12:36.06 | kreyren | checking qubesOS docs atm x.x |
| 12:36.46 | IanJ | fsmithred: why on a non systemd system does it have a file with that default telling you to comment out for a non systemd system? |
| 12:37.03 | kreyren | thinks to found the issue, has to take devuan qube down |
| 12:37.23 | fsmithred | because debian favors systemd and we don't fork pulseaudio to change one line. |
| 12:37.57 | IanJ | /etc/pulse/client.conf.d/00-disable-autospawn.conf |
| 12:38.01 | IanJ | is that documented anywhere? |
| 12:38.06 | IanJ | It caught me out :/ |
| 12:38.12 | fsmithred | in the release notes |
| 12:38.21 | fsmithred | it catches just about everyone |
| 12:38.25 | IanJ | Yeah :( |
| 12:38.36 | fsmithred | in the desktop-live, it's already done |
| 12:38.56 | IanJ | I worked around it by adding a line to my .xsessionrc, I didn't know what the propper fix was. |
| 12:39.14 | fsmithred | proper fix is in the comments in that file |
| 12:39.30 | IanJ | Yep, I didn't know it existed as I didn't read the release notes :) |
| 12:40.03 | fsmithred | maybe the release notes could be the desktop background image |

Are the packages automated so it receives the latest update from Debian repos? (Whatever the answer this, congrats on having such a good package mainteinance from everyone who contributes) |

| 17:09.21 | fsmithred | bru, the magic is in amprolla. We host the forked packages and amprolla merges the debian repos, filters out the banned packages, and makes it look like we host all of debian packages. |
| 17:10.58 | fsmithred | we match codename in devuan to codename in debian. Using 'testing' and 'stable' and 'unstable' will be out of sync when the next debian goes stable. We're always behind them on releases. |

| 17:13.57 | onefang | And the package mirrors either server forked Devuan packages directly, or redirect to Debian package mirrors for the unforked packages. Amprolla creates the apt metadata so all of this happens transparently. |
| 17:17.46 | bru | Amazing! I just looked a bit on Amprolla, and found the Devuan talk about it last year, gonna watch it so I learn more about it! |

| 17:19.52 | brocashelm | yeah, indeed amprolla. it's why the devs recommend not mixing repos so that package dependencies aren't fudged. as long as you only get your packages from deb.devuan.org, the chances of something going wrong are almost nonexistent |

| 17:58.25 | fsmithred | which iso? |

| 17:59.09 | systemdlete | that works! :D |
| 17:59.24 | fsmithred | chimaera01? |
| 17:59.31 | systemdlete | it's that ISO from I think june |
| 17:59.53 | systemdlete | refracta-test-oblx_5.6bpo-20200625_1323.iso |
| 17:59.58 | fsmithred | oh, ok |
| 18:00.04 | fsmithred | that's beowulf with backports kernel |
| 18:00.10 | systemdlete | 5.6 |
| 18:00.20 | fsmithred | yes |
| 18:00.42 | fsmithred | I think bpo is on 5.8 or 5.9 now |
| 18:00.58 | onefang | 5.8, the one I said before. |
| 18:01.04 | systemdlete | would those be better? any drawbacks? |
| 18:01.18 | fsmithred | you could install from that iso with refractainstaller |
| 18:01.29 | systemdlete | Yes, I could... |
| 18:01.46 | fsmithred | or use it to debootstrap an install to get the right kernel |
| 18:01.52 | systemdlete | But I am also thinking in terms of upgrading my main desktop that I use everyday |
| 18:02.11 | fsmithred | ascii to beowulf? |
| 18:02.17 | systemdlete | yeah |
| 18:02.27 | systemdlete | I mean, a fresh install of beowulf though |
| 18:02.31 | onefang | Oh, 5.9 is available recently, I haven't updated to it yet. |
| 18:02.33 | fsmithred | see the upgrade guides at devuan.org |
| 18:02.35 | systemdlete | not an upgrade per se |
| 18:02.40 | fsmithred | oh |
| 18:03.12 | systemdlete | yeah, fsmithred, I like to keep my existing installs around for a while until I am certain that the new install is stable enough etc etc |
| 18:03.19 | systemdlete | fallback, just in case |
| 18:03.38 | systemdlete | I got bitten a few times with, I think, either CentOS or SuSE, idr now |
| 18:03.38 | fsmithred | I usually do that, too |
| 18:03.40 | onefang | 5.8.10-1~bpo10+1 is what I got now from beowulf packports, 5.9.6-1~bpo10+1 is now available. |
| 18:04.23 | onefang | Er *backports* |
| 18:04.53 | systemdlete | My DVI-HDMI adapter should be here in a couple weeks. I also ordered a new HDMI card. (early xmas for systemdlete!) |
| 18:05.18 | systemdlete | So, at that point, I'll have lots of options. |
| 18:05.40 | systemdlete | Something ought to work with my desktop! |
| 18:05.46 | systemdlete | some combo |
| 18:07.37 | systemdlete | fsmithred: I don't have any qualms about running your refracta spin on my hardware. I am already using several StarLinux VMs. (Star seems to be a different installer; the rest is just beowulf) |
| 18:08.20 | fsmithred | Star and Crows and Gnuinos all use debian-installer (devuan-installer) |
| 18:08.29 | fsmithred | same as the installer isos |
| 18:08.32 | systemdlete | My concern is only that if I am using a more recent (backports) kernel, and I have a problem with my hardware (or some other unrelated issue), what kind of support I would get. |
| 18:08.44 | systemdlete | (yeah, I am figuring that out!) |
| 18:08.50 | fsmithred | kernels are all unchanged from debian |
| 18:09.37 | systemdlete | I found the star installer pretty good. I liked that it installed a basic system and I could add what I wanted. But I guess any of them will do that. |
| 18:09.43 | fsmithred | pretty sure star and crows use only devuan repos. Refracta also does. Gnuinos also has guinos repo, but that's just for a few forked packages. Rest is devuan. |
| 18:10.16 | systemdlete | good to know. ty. I'll keep that in mind. (Until I forget, that is... ) |
| 18:10.19 | fsmithred | refractainstaller just installs what's in the running live-iso |
| 18:11.09 | systemdlete | But are backports OFFICIALLY supported? Or just sorta kinda but but but? |
| 18:11.15 | systemdlete | That's my concern. |
| 18:11.33 | systemdlete | If the backports are fully supported by debian, then why aren't they part of the official release? |
| 18:11.48 | systemdlete | I worry about this kind of thing. |
| 18:12.27 | systemdlete | If something breaks my system, I own both parts. But that isn't much comfort when spending 2 days restoring files... been there a few times already. |
| 18:13.17 | systemdlete | One possibility is to force a sync to a 3rd raid drive and save that separately. Do the install and use the sync'd disk in case of a serious problem. |
| 18:13.47 | systemdlete | but I already have one bad disk (just bought it 3 months ago and it is failing, and that's after an RMA) |
| 18:15.35 | systemdlete | Part of it is that I don't fully understand the difference in support between the official release and things like backports. Is the level of support guaranteed to be more or less the same? Sorry for all these questions and troubles. |
| 18:16.06 | fsmithred | what does "fully supported" mean? |
| 18:16.38 | fsmithred | I guess if you want to see what patches are applied to kernel, you can look at the debian security site |

| 23:01.57 | PlotVitalNPC | I did a full reinstall to devuan after fucking up a debian to devuan migration |
| 23:02.11 | gnarface | PlotVitalNPC: was it debian stable? |
| 23:02.48 | PlotVitalNPC | I had updated from Jessie to Buster just prior, but this is after a FULL reinstall, formatted drive and all |
| 23:03.01 | PlotVitalNPC | or rather |
| 23:03.03 | PlotVitalNPC | stretch to buster |
| 23:03.03 | gnarface | PlotVitalNPC: so it did work on buster? |
| 23:03.38 | gnarface | PlotVitalNPC: because a kernel version change would be the primary suspect typically, but for something like this going from older to newer should be safe |
| 23:03.52 | IanJ | PlotVitalNPC: wellcome to the failed debian to devuan club :) |
| 23:03.59 | gnarface | PlotVitalNPC: there could be a configuration mistake though... debian might have granted you free permissin to ... something |
| 23:04.23 | gnarface | PlotVitalNPC: do you see the correct ethernet driver in the output of "lsmod" ? |
| 23:04.54 | gnarface | PlotVitalNPC: also verify the ethernet configuration in /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf |
| 23:06.11 | PlotVitalNPC | Why would the failed debian to devuan migration matter after I've already done a full reinstall from an installation media? Anyways, this thing had working wifi up until I tried to switch from XFCE as a DE (not what I specified during installation) to Mate (what I specified during installation). |
| 23:06.21 | PlotVitalNPC | As for lsmod, I'm not sure what row would be the ethernet driver |
| 23:06.39 | IanJ | PlotVitalNPC: Did you happen to follow the buster -> beowulf migration howto on the website? |
| 23:06.43 | fsmithred | what about the device name? |
| 23:06.52 | fsmithred | eudev uses the old names |
| 23:07.39 | gnarface | PlotVitalNPC: in this case the only reason it matters is so that i can gather a history of the working status of this; it was clear you successfully upgraded once, but not clear if the ethernet still worked AFTER the upgrade (you didn't specify, and while that's normally a safe bet, you would normally not be in this situation if it was for you) |
| 23:07.54 | gnarface | PlotVitalNPC: oh, yea and also it's called eth0 like in the old days here |
| 23:08.20 | IanJ | gnarface: that's a good point and caught me out too. :) |
| 23:09.36 | PlotVitalNPC | I don't think I see eth0 on any row or column of lsmod's list |
| 23:09.54 | gnarface | PlotVitalNPC: you can determine the name of the ethernet device from the output of lspci and that should lead you to the right module name. sorry the network device name will be called eth0 not the physical hardware or driver. sorry for the confusion |
| 23:10.01 | PlotVitalNPC | I did follow the website's guide in the original upgrade |
| 23:10.23 | gnarface | you're not under attack here, it doesn't matter. we're trying to help, just answer the questions |
| 23:10.48 | gnarface | i know it's tedious but as of this moment you're the primary source of information |
| 23:11.02 | gnarface | this isn't speculation |
| 23:11.06 | gnarface | this is a deductive processs |
| 23:11.37 | gnarface | there's too many weird possibilities and we need information to narrow it down |
| 23:12.09 | IanJ | PlotVitalNPC: do you have netcat installed? |
| 23:12.22 | gnarface | i could start piling on more anecdotes but there's no clear value yet |
| 23:12.34 | PlotVitalNPC | and /etc/resolv.conf doesn't seem to exist |
| 23:12.52 | gnarface | you probably need that.... are you using dhcp? |

| 23:15.29 | gnarface | ethernet should be generally very well supported at the driver level, but the graphical network configuration utilities are in general not of any higher quality than they were in the 90s' when redhat first threw networkmanager over the wall |
| 23:15.37 | PlotVitalNPC | I'm connecting to this IRC from a completely different computer to the one I'm trying to fix, on account of the laptop having nonfunctional networking. The LSPCI | nc termbin.com 999 did nothing. |

| 23:16.33 | gnarface | PlotVitalNPC: try this one: lspci |grep net -i |
| 23:16.53 | gnarface | PlotVitalNPC: should spit out just one line, which you can safely paste here |

| 23:19.28 | gnarface | PlotVitalNPC: to be clear, it's probably just something whack with the gui network tool you used, but first i wanted to make sure you do have the driver loaded, because auto-loading issues are one of the few things that the change from systemd can effect directly |
| 23:19.51 | gnarface | PlotVitalNPC: (everything else is permissions related) |
| 23:20.02 | gnarface | PlotVitalNPC: (... but, one thing at a time...) |
| 23:20.16 | IanJ | does /sbin/ifconfig show any devices? |
| 23:20.36 | gnarface | PlotVitalNPC: fyi Qualcom/Atheros stuff sounds like your wireless, and that DOES need non-free firmware that wouldn't have been included by default in all cases |
| 23:21.03 | gnarface | PlotVitalNPC: the intel ethernet device should be supported but make sure the driver even loaded - i do seem to recall at some point having to manually load e1000 in the past |
| 23:21.26 | PlotVitalNPC | How do I manually load the driver? |
| 23:21.33 | gnarface | modprobe [name] |
| 23:21.35 | fsmithred | oh, I have that atheros wireless. It should work without firmware. |
| 23:21.45 | gnarface | should it? didnt' know, fsmithred |
| 23:21.53 | fsmithred | double checking... |
| 23:22.51 | PlotVitalNPC | the modprobe command doesn't seem to exist, though that might be because I'm in the /etc/network/interfaces directory right now |
| 23:23.05 | fsmithred | yeah, no firmware-atheros here, and I've used it before. |
| 23:23.19 | gnarface | PlotVitalNPC: it exists, it's just not in your path anymore by default |
| 23:23.26 | IanJ | /sbin/modprobe |
| 23:23.28 | gnarface | PlotVitalNPC: (debian did that, not us) |
| 23:23.44 | gnarface | PlotVitalNPC: you do need to run it as root, or using sudo |
| 23:24.08 | PlotVitalNPC | So would I be doing sudo /sbin/modprobe e1000 or something else? |
| 23:24.55 | gnarface | PlotVitalNPC: yes, as root. but feel free to put /sbin/ and /usr/sbin/ back in root's path at your leisure |
| 23:25.11 | fsmithred | or else use 'su - ' to become root |
| 23:25.13 | gnarface | PlotVitalNPC: and that's assuming "e1000" is the right driver for this which i'm only 75% sure of |

| 23:26.53 | PlotVitalNPC | No error, but also no result |
| 23:27.02 | PlotVitalNPC | And trying to do things that'd require internet still doesn't work |
| 23:27.08 | fsmithred | lsmod |grep e1000 should return something |
| 23:27.17 | IanJ | PlotVitalNPC: try /sbin/ifconfig see if eth0 exist |
| 23:27.52 | PlotVitalNPC | e1000 and e1000e both come up if I use lsmod |grep e1000 |
| 23:27.58 | fsmithred | or 'ip a' |
| 23:28.17 | PlotVitalNPC | as for /sbin/ifconfig, I don't se eth0 anywhere in the results, but it does show results. |
| 23:28.33 | fsmithred | other than lo? |
| 23:28.40 | rrq | may need -a |
| 23:28.59 | gnarface | PlotVitalNPC: what results, other than lo? |
| 23:29.16 | PlotVitalNPC | There were none without -a, but with -a I can see eth0 |
| 23:29.29 | gnarface | ok that's good |
| 23:29.34 | gnarface | conclusively a configuration issue then |
| 23:29.42 | gnarface | the driver is present, and loaded and so is the device |
| 23:29.46 | gnarface | it's just not "up" |
| 23:29.48 | gnarface | so make it "up |
| 23:29.49 | gnarface | " |
| 23:29.58 | gnarface | try just "ifup eth0" if your configuration is right |
| 23:30.03 | gnarface | (but i sadly assume it is not) |
| 23:30.16 | PlotVitalNPC | Is ifup in any particular place? |
| 23:30.27 | gnarface | probably the same place as modprobe |
| 23:31.00 | PlotVitalNPC | ifup says: "unknown interface eth0" |
| 23:31.10 | gnarface | that means there's NO configuration |
| 23:31.18 | gnarface | which would explain why it's not working :) |
| 23:31.21 | bru | Maybe try with enp1s0? |
| 23:31.28 | IanJ | PlotVitalNPC: what's listed in /etc/network/interfaces |
| 23:32.24 | gnarface | bru: nah, we've confirmed it's eth0 |
| 23:32.36 | gnarface | bru: fresh debian install would default to old style names |
| 23:32.41 | gnarface | bru: devuan* install. |
| 23:33.05 | fsmithred | ip link set eth0 up |
| 23:33.08 | fsmithred | maybe |
| 23:33.57 | IanJ | I have the line 'iface eth0 inet dhcp' in my /etc/network/interfaces |
| 23:34.12 | fsmithred | did you put it there? |
| 23:34.34 | IanJ | fsmithred: the installation process put it there. |
| 23:34.44 | PlotVitalNPC | In my case, dhcp is replaced with loopback in that spot |
| 23:34.56 | fsmithred | huh? |
| 23:35.03 | IanJ | PlotVitalNPC: there is more than one entry, there will be lo too. |
| 23:35.24 | IanJ | PlotVitalNPC: add that line under the lo line. |
| 23:35.45 | ShorTie | i'd say, if 'ls /sys/class/net' shows the nics, then it has to be in configuring of the net |

| 23:38.09 | PlotVitalNPC | So I add iface eth0 inet dhcp below that? |

| 23:43.08 | gnarface | you can do the rest with the /etc/network/interfaces file |
| 23:43.17 | gnarface | it can go in there like another network device |
