00:01.37 | fsmithred | leafwiz, I've been using network-manager. I don't like it, but it seems to be working. I've also tried connman. Some people like that one. |
00:02.02 | fsmithred | both of those will work with vpn, which wicd does not. |
00:02.08 | leafwiz | So wicd is kinda the one we kinda want to use? |
00:02.10 | fsmithred | but I miss wicd |
00:02.20 | leafwiz | But it should be updated to p3_ |
00:02.22 | leafwiz | ? |
00:02.27 | leafwiz | aka python3 |
00:02.34 | fsmithred | it's the one we have been using |
00:02.39 | leafwiz | mm |
00:02.41 | fsmithred | some like n-m better |
00:03.08 | fsmithred | I'm using it because I figure it's the most likely one to replace wicd |
00:03.55 | leafwiz | Sure, if wicd was updated to python3 do you think people would like that better? |
00:04.14 | fsmithred | I think we'd probably stick to that as the default |
00:04.26 | fsmithred | got someone in mind to do the work? |
00:06.53 | leafwiz | maybe.. :) Well, I was just thinking about updating all of the env statements in it to point to python2. That would prob be a nice small fix |
00:07.28 | fsmithred | oh, that might work |

01:01.18 | rwp | I'll be sad if I have to leave wicd behind. I have been wanting to try out connman since I haven't ever tried it before. |
01:01.52 | Xenguy | Yeah that's disappointing news, I use wicd as my daily driver |
01:03.02 | golinux | Me too |
01:03.37 | golinux | Hope someone gets it working for devuan. |
01:05.20 | rwp | Since it is all python it would seem like that someone who was a python person could walk through it and convert it from 2 to 3 syntax relatively easily. |
01:05.50 | rwp | I am not a python person but I keep getting told by python people how good it is... |
01:06.32 | rwp | NetworkManager works acceptably well on personal laptops and things okay. Really not going to have a problem there. Since that is where it was designed to work. |
01:07.14 | rwp | But my experience with it on servers is that it is *terrible* for remote systems. Too often it has left things disconnected and won't automatically reconnect. |

03:09.29 | systemdlete | I think the latest firefox has a bad leak in it. |
03:10.08 | systemdlete | I've been (trying to) watch Pluto TV and it eats up the memory in about a half hour or so. I've had to reboot the system about 3 times now. |
03:11.04 | tuxd3v | systemdlete, probably it uses /tmp to store the video, and it will grow with time.. |
03:14.27 | systemdlete | I call that leaking. Others may use other terms for it. |
03:14.40 | systemdlete | tuxd3v: I think you are probably correct. |
03:15.02 | systemdlete | But still, if it ends up eating all the memory, what is the difference what we call it? |
03:15.22 | tuxd3v | hehe you need to be monitoring the /tmp |
03:15.37 | tuxd3v | for example if you know that a episode consumes X memory |
03:15.41 | systemdlete | Either firefox is run amok, or pluto's code has run amok. Either way, I don't think I have much control over it. |
03:15.57 | systemdlete | (I'm actually measuring that very thing atm) |
03:16.18 | systemdlete | So, essentially, I have to babysit Pluto's poor coding... right. |
03:16.27 | tuxd3v | and you know the amount of ram you have in the computer, you need to restart the application so that he can cleanup the /tmp |
03:17.12 | tuxd3v | where do you got that application? |
03:17.54 | tuxd3v | you are watching directly from https://www.eu-landing.corp.pluto.tv/ ? |
03:18.21 | systemdlete | I'm half way through an episode of All in the Family, and it has already eaten close to a gig of memory. |
03:19.15 | tuxd3v | yeah specially 1080p it hits hard :( |
03:19.22 | systemdlete | My TV decided to go moving partial black screen on me after just 2 years. So I am watching on my desktop. |
03:19.34 | systemdlete | I've ordered a new TV, but it will be a few days... |
03:19.51 | tuxd3v | what is the app you are using? |
03:19.58 | systemdlete | firefox? |
03:20.14 | systemdlete | is there pluto app for linux? |
03:21.53 | systemdlete | I don't know which I love more, Pluto or Youtube. Neither one of them has nearly enough commercials. Neither one repeats the same ones nearly enough for MY liking. |
03:21.57 | tuxd3v | I believe not :(, at least not yet |
03:22.33 | tuxd3v | in the web version you need to create an account right? |
03:23.21 | onefang | I tend to watch youtube (which is rare to be honest) via my VPN to a country where the main language is one I don't understand. Makes the adverts fun. |
03:24.35 | onefang | Did leave me wondering why the Dutch are always trying to sell cars to children. |

03:31.44 | systemdlete | hopes onefang FINDS groceries... |
03:32.10 | systemdlete | tuxd3v: I looked and noticed there were no temp files in /tmp opened by firefox |
03:32.25 | systemdlete | I even killed the tab running pluto.tv |
03:33.36 | numzob | ps -e something may still be running and holding that memory |
03:33.43 | systemdlete | firefox has barely released memory, even a couple minutes after killing that tab. |
03:33.45 | tuxd3v | systemdlete, it will probably get that ramspace somewere, a lot of applications use /tmp and store the video |
03:34.17 | systemdlete | I'm watching the process in ps output, measuring usage every 30 seconds. |
03:35.03 | systemdlete | I watched it run while my program was running. It continually ate memory, and even after I killed the tab running pluto, it still has not released all the memory it ate while pluto tab was open. |
03:35.28 | systemdlete | The other tabs are more or less quiescent. At very least, I did not open any of them. |
03:35.44 | tuxd3v | it could be a memory leak indeed |
03:35.52 | systemdlete | Look, it would not be the first time firefox got a leak... |
03:36.23 | systemdlete | And, depending on how pluto has "programmed" its javascript and such, who knows what impact that might have. |
03:37.13 | systemdlete | Pluto could well be using one of those javascript include files with all the fancy routines that make coding js easy. |
03:37.21 | systemdlete | And who knows what dwells within that... |
03:39.36 | systemdlete | Some months ago, I had run into this memory management issue (leak) with ff. At that time, someone suggested I try to use ulimit to force oomkill or the like. That did not seem to work though. |
03:40.28 | systemdlete | I'm guessing when one thread can not brk() any more, maybe it goes and grabs a new thread and continues eating memory there. But I'm not a threads programmer, so I really don't know. |
03:41.59 | systemdlete | I'd really rather have firefox itself govern memory limits (which should be configurable, of course) and have a tab crash than having to reboot the entire system after it has strangulated it. |

11:57.14 | APic | Hi. I want to upgrade my Server-VM from ascii to beowulf. aptitude shows me this: https://nopaste.linux-dev.org/?1326494 |
11:57.24 | APic | What can i do please? |
11:58.41 | APic | Current /etc/apt/sources.list.d/devuan.list is https://nopaste.linux-dev.org/?1326495 |
12:01.02 | APic | What is maybe important that Devuan ascii was preinstalled on my VM |
12:03.16 | fsmithred | APic, you're using a deprecated repository |
12:03.38 | fsmithred | change packages.devuan.org to deb.devuan.org or choose a specific mirror from the list |
12:04.24 | fsmithred | and you can comment out the deb-src lines if you're not downloading sources to rebuild packages |
12:05.21 | APic | I do download Sources from Time to Time |
12:05.28 | APic | Thanks for the quick Answer! |
12:05.46 | fsmithred | edit, update and try again |
12:06.05 | fsmithred | you shouold be getting libc6 2.28-10 |

12:13.26 | APic | Maybe i should finish the few upgradable Packages it shows me first. apt full-upgrade gives me no Error like aptitude full-upgrade: https://nopaste.linux-dev.org/?1326499 |
12:14.28 | n4dir | using apt-get i usually first upgrade, then dist-upgrade |
12:15.05 | n4dir | no idea what the according switches for apt or aptitude are |
12:15.05 | APic | full-upgrade _is_ dist-upgrade nowadays i think |
12:15.33 | APic | Yup, dist-upgrade shows exactly the same Output as full-upgrade |
12:15.51 | n4dir | i think it is the difference between apt, aptitude and apt-get. I meant first upgrade. Did you do that? |
12:16.07 | *** join/#devuan fourto (disillusio@gateway/vpn/privateinternetaccess/disillusion) |
12:16.07 | n4dir | though i don't think it should result in problems. |
12:17.25 | APic | lol |
12:17.33 | APic | I did it, and now it created this: |
12:17.36 | n4dir | also it is recommended to first upgrade the release one is coming from |
12:17.42 | APic | # Devuan repositories |
12:17.42 | APic | deb http://packages.devuan.org/merged unstable main |
12:17.42 | APic | deb-src http://packages.devuan.org/merged unstable main |
12:18.03 | APic | I think i want to change that back to beowulf again |
12:18.06 | APic | unstable is ceres, no? |
12:18.30 | n4dir | yes |
12:18.56 | n4dir | you sure want to upgrade leaving out one release in between (even if you would want to go all the way up to unstable) |
12:19.11 | n4dir | oh. you sure *don't want* |
12:19.19 | APic | Yes |
12:22.06 | APic | Nah, now it still shows the same broken fdisk-Deps |
12:22.28 | APic | Maybe i shall try another Mirror than deb.devuan.org |

12:24.06 | fsmithred | is libc6-dev installed? I had trouble with that on a couple upgrades |
12:25.44 | fsmithred | yes, sometimes you have to run the upgrade a few times to get everything |

12:29.46 | APic | Need to collect my Pizza now |
12:29.49 | APic | cul8r |
12:30.16 | n4dir | i would check anything in preferences or apt.conf in /etc/apt to be sure there is nothing standing in the way. The command "apt-get policy" should tell too, if i am correct |
12:30.48 | n4dir | sure would tell about pinning? i think |
12:32.43 | n4dir | as not sure what "apt-cache policy" tells me (not apt-get, sorry), i have to check the according files and folders manually anway. |
12:32.54 | fsmithred | looks like he's running without dbus. That might cause trouble, too. But I'd expect it would say more about that. |
12:33.20 | fsmithred | you can just do 'apt policy' now |
12:33.27 | n4dir | i don't apt |
12:33.30 | fsmithred | lol |
12:33.45 | fsmithred | apt search gives sucky output |
12:33.58 | n4dir | i saw a nice output, but it is more easy for me to stick to muscle memory. And in general i see no advantage in apt (yet) |
12:34.03 | fsmithred | apt show and apt policy look the same as the other commands |
12:34.19 | fsmithred | less to type |
12:34.44 | n4dir | Well. Compared to what i typed only in this little chat, i can live with it. |
12:34.58 | n4dir | i'd say if you don't like typing, use a different OS |

14:20.35 | danyspin97 | while building a chimaera version, we encountered a problem with btrfs. Some package that depends on btrfs-tools hasn't been updated |
14:21.15 | danyspin97 | because btrfs-tools was a virtual provided by btrfs-progs in beowulf |

17:15.03 | DashiePie | I was planning on upgrading to Chimaera today, and then I saw that Guest32 brought up that error, and wondered if that would affect my upgrade |
17:17.12 | nemo | DashiePie: certificate is updated now |
17:17.19 | nemo | 2021-03-31 expiration |
17:17.30 | DashiePie | welp, that solves that, I guess |
17:17.52 | nemo | plus that wasn't the update server anyway |
17:21.16 | DashiePie | about the only thing I could tell you is that error codes are easy to google |
17:21.43 | DashiePie | that's the extent of my knowledge on stuff like that |
17:23.22 | gnarface | you really should read that file then |
17:23.45 | DashiePie | the release notes? |
17:24.00 | gnarface | yes |
17:25.09 | nemo | gnarface: hm. he's already on beowulf though, there's no chimaera release notes yet, are there? |
17:25.22 | DashiePie | how would the Beowulf release notes help my knowledge of server backends or my upgrade to Chimaera? |
17:25.36 | DashiePie | also, what nemo said |
17:25.58 | DashiePie | I'm already on Beowulf, cause that was the latest release when I installed it like, last month |
17:27.54 | nemo | https://www.devuan.org/os/documentation/dev1fanboy/en/upgrade-to-beowulf might possibly be helpful mapped to chimaera, even though a few of the steps are obviously not necessary. |
17:28.13 | nemo | (the jessie/ascii specific stuff) |
17:29.11 | nemo | " |
17:29.12 | nemo | This site is free of cookies and javascript" ⥠|
17:33.41 | gnarface | oh, i just misread as him upgrading to Beowulf |
17:36.32 | DashiePie | Guest was the one who did that, not me :P |
17:39.55 | gnarface | yea i just got the relevance transposed because i wasn't paying close enough attention |
17:40.13 | gnarface | i'm not sure that there's not already chimera release notes though |
17:40.51 | fsmithred | no chimaera release notes yet |
17:44.13 | nemo | fsmithred: so... chimaera will be released at same time as next debian stable? 'cause I was poking around and seems that is due out in 1 year? |
17:44.27 | nemo | fsmithred: or will it be an incremental update to current stable? |
17:44.29 | fsmithred | lol |
17:44.31 | nemo | not sure how these things work |
17:44.39 | fsmithred | when have we ever been in sync with debian releases? |
17:44.56 | fsmithred | if we get it out less than a year after debian, we'll be doing better than before |
17:45.14 | fsmithred | and actually there's a good chance of that because a lot of forked packages have already been forked |
17:45.14 | nemo | fsmithred: ok. so... I guess I worded that badly |
17:45.33 | nemo | fsmithred: "the absolute earliest chimaera could be stabilised is after next debian stable in at least a year?" |
17:46.21 | fsmithred | yeah, I supposed it's possible we could release after final freeze and before debian release, and I keep hoping for that, but I doubt it will happen. |
17:47.00 | n4dir | i don't even know when the next debian might happen. Next year? |
17:47.33 | nemo | I thought their wiki said 2021-12 |
17:47.39 | fsmithred | final freeze will be some time after March |
17:47.41 | nemo | oh |
17:47.49 | n4dir | ah. well. good enouogh |
17:47.52 | nemo | oh.. just freeze |
17:47.55 | fsmithred | beginning freeze might be in a couple weeks |
17:48.07 | nemo | damn... we need to get another release out. *sigh* |
17:48.11 | nemo | if only we weren't so laaaazy |
17:48.28 | fsmithred | we need to get beowulf point-release out |
17:48.47 | nemo | the backport system is a nice idea, but it does so suck for unimportant software like games where users still expect to have the latest hotness and have no idea how to do a backport install |
17:49.21 | n4dir | something like a dual boot? |
17:49.26 | nemo | wish there was another overlay like stable-noncritical-fun |
17:49.47 | n4dir | There is that old list of Markus or Michal or such Kraft (or such), when you want and when you don't want debian |
17:50.08 | nemo | every time we do a release where we miss the debian release we end up spending the next year or two supporting debian/ubuntu/mint users |
17:50.29 | nemo | I guess if we can get it in before final freeze our odds are good |
17:51.55 | fsmithred | DashiePie, you might want to look at this post. I made notes of my upgrade to chimaera back in july. Don't follow these instruction exactly because you'll probably run into different stuff. https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=26252#p26252 |
17:55.46 | bmelo | will devuan really switch to openrc in next release? |
17:57.01 | fsmithred | bmelo, who told you that? It's not true. |
17:57.18 | fsmithred | the default is sysvinit and there are no plans to change that (yet) |
17:57.34 | fsmithred | the installer gives you a choice of sysvinit, openrc or runit |
18:00.42 | DashiePie | if there's no security or updates, then does that mean the single line does all of that? |
18:01.08 | fsmithred | yeah |
18:01.23 | DashiePie | ah, okay |
18:01.30 | fsmithred | if you want fixes faster, add a line for ceres but also pin it to a lower priority |
18:01.46 | fsmithred | then you can selectively install stuff before it moves down into chimaera |
18:02.10 | fsmithred | if you're motivated to pay attention to which packages are at what stage |
18:02.42 | DashiePie | I think what I need from Chimaera is just some updates so amdgpu stops crashing... if the problem is with amdgpu, and not my actual gpu |
18:02.54 | fsmithred | oh |
18:03.18 | fsmithred | first thing to try would probably be newer kernel from beowulf-backports |
18:03.44 | fsmithred | and firmware-amd-graphics from the same |
18:10.13 | gnarface | and maybe mesa too if it's in there |
18:11.00 | nemo | DashiePie: yeah, the random crashing is worrying for sure... hope you're not getting overheating or bad vram |
18:11.43 | nemo | DashiePie: but... I had a ton of probs w/ amd gpu on beowulf that went away in chimaera - mostly due to being able to ditch that stupid "pro" thing I was force-fitting into debian ⺠|
18:11.43 | DashiePie | I hope so too, I want to play a bit of WoW again (1.12, compiled my own cmangos) |
18:11.50 | nemo | but also 'cause their stupid "pro" thing was just buggy |
18:12.02 | nemo | sent them a bunch of stack traces from games |
18:12.44 | nemo | I think I'll only ever try that again if I wanna try OpenCL, and I certainly don't have time for that right now |

19:38.54 | systemdlete | tried ulimit with memory set to 100 (which is k, per man page), then launched firefox, but ff grabs memory as usual, or at least I did not notice any constraint. The memory for just one thread was well over 500k |
19:39.13 | systemdlete | is ulimit broken in recent linux kernels? Or am I doing something wrong. |
19:39.26 | systemdlete | (and, yes, I started ff from the SAME shell as ulimit) |
19:40.31 | systemdlete | So I went and tried cgroups. But that opens an entirely new can of worms. I had to install several packages for cgroups, then rebooted. |
19:40.59 | systemdlete | so now the cgmanager is running, but if I try to create a cgroup, I am told that cgroups is not mounted. And on and on... |
19:41.04 | nemo | systemdlete: I've successfully set ulimits for firefox, but it tends to crash things |
19:41.19 | systemdlete | I'm ok with ff crashing. |
19:41.22 | nemo | systemdlete: don't forget that the tabs are run in separate processes |
19:41.27 | nemo | by default anyway |
19:41.33 | nemo | no idea if that option can be disabled anymore |
19:41.34 | systemdlete | I know. |
19:42.01 | systemdlete | It doesn't matter for me. As long as each tab is limited, I'd be OK. |
19:42.43 | systemdlete | Does devuan have a sort of "default" cgmanager/cgroup configuration? There is no /etc/cgmanager.conf or anything like that. |
19:43.14 | systemdlete | And the instructions for cgroups seems to be written in Redhatese, not linuxese. |
19:43.26 | systemdlete | (not too surprisingly I think) |
19:44.26 | systemdlete | nemo: You say you've gotten ulimit to work? Or was that ulimits? |
19:45.00 | systemdlete | I was using ulimit in bash. I can try ulimits; maybe bash's ulimit is buggy, idk. |
