00:03.56 | bmelo | is there any bsd-style init out there for debian systems? |
00:06.57 | Guest3 | ok there are some unmet dependencies for eudev |
00:07.55 | Guest3 | should i do apt --fix-broken install or keep going by the guide |
00:11.28 | Guest3 | are these questions easy to answer or something? |
00:13.43 | Xenguy_ | Guest3: Hang in and idle for awhile; people come and go who can help |
00:13.52 | Guest3 | sorry |
00:13.58 | Xenguy_ | Not at all |
00:14.41 | Xenguy_ | It's New Years Eve also, so you may have to practice patience more than usual |
00:15.28 | Guest3 | that's understandable |
00:15.50 | Guest3 | is there any way to ensure the pc doesn't go into sleep while i wait? |
00:16.39 | Xenguy_ | I'm not sure about the errors you're getting, but if it were me I'd just plow ahead and see how far you can get, i.e. let the errors ride if you can |
00:17.17 | Guest3 | went into xfce power manager to turn display power management off |
00:17.23 | Guest3 | hopefully that should do it |
00:17.30 | Xenguy_ | See what you end up with, and if a reinstall is needed, oh well |
00:18.16 | Xenguy_ | Yeah you found it, it's all largely configured there |
00:18.42 | Guest3 | reboot just comes up as not found |
00:18.48 | Guest3 | shutdown -r should work right? |
00:19.58 | Guest3 | apt-get -f install works, so i guess i'll just install eudev after |
00:20.30 | fsmithred | yeah, sometimes you have to repeat the upgrade to get more packages |
00:21.50 | Guest3 | alright so shutdown, halt, and poweroff do not work |
00:21.55 | fsmithred | if you're in buster, you shoul |
00:21.56 | fsmithred | oh |
00:22.07 | fsmithred | I guess you don't know about root's path changes |
00:22.10 | Guest3 | just says that command isn't found |
00:22.12 | Guest3 | no |
00:22.16 | fsmithred | did you do 'su' to get root? |
00:22.19 | Guest3 | yes |
00:22.23 | fsmithred | use full path |
00:22.28 | fsmithred | <PROTECTED> |
00:22.34 | Guest3 | ok |
00:22.35 | fsmithred | or use 'su -' to get root |
00:23.05 | fsmithred | or put 'ALWAYS_SET_PATH yes' in /etc/default/su |
00:23.17 | fsmithred | to get the old behavior |
00:23.31 | Guest3 | sbin reboot works |
00:23.58 | Guest3 | unfortunately bc of how the comp is setup i have to go into windows to boot into debian |
00:24.12 | fsmithred | loadlin??? |
00:24.54 | Guest3 | have not tried loadlin |
00:25.18 | Guest3 | i installed grub on the linux partition and never fixed it i guess |
00:26.53 | Guest3 | ok so |
00:27.04 | Guest3 | should i abort kernel removal? |
00:27.16 | Guest3 | just did apt-get dist-upgrade |
00:28.57 | fsmithred | what kernel removal? |
00:29.05 | fsmithred | that should not happen automatically |
00:29.30 | fsmithred | you can keep the old kernel until you're sure the new kernel works |
00:29.38 | Guest3 | alright i'll probably keep the old kernel then |
00:30.23 | Guest3 | says that errors were encountered processing the linux 4.19 image |
00:30.42 | Guest3 | everything else seems ok though |
00:31.04 | Guest3 | should i purge the systemd libs now? |
00:31.16 | fsmithred | autoremove should be safe |
00:31.28 | fsmithred | or wait and do it later. |
00:31.32 | Guest3 | ok |
00:31.35 | fsmithred | the old stuff won't do anything |
00:33.03 | fsmithred | if you're sure sysvinit is running, I think it's safe to remove systemd |
00:33.08 | Guest3 | so apt-get purge also ran into issues, |
00:33.15 | Guest3 | unmet dependencies |
00:33.21 | fsmithred | purge what? |
00:33.28 | Guest3 | the systemd stuff |
00:33.48 | Guest3 | https://www.devuan.org/os/documentation/dev1fanboy/en/buster-to-beowulf |
00:33.50 | fsmithred | is elogind installed? |
00:33.59 | Guest3 | after dist-upgrade |
00:34.06 | fsmithred | and libpam-elogind |
00:34.13 | Guest3 | how do i check? eloginid --version? |
00:34.26 | fsmithred | dpkg -l | grep elogind |
00:35.01 | Guest3 | it's dpkg -l is a lowercase L right? |
00:35.07 | fsmithred | yes |
00:35.11 | fsmithred | it lists installed packages |
00:35.14 | Guest3 | ok nothing came up |
00:35.24 | fsmithred | what desktop you got? |
00:35.28 | Guest3 | xfce |
00:35.47 | fsmithred | is libpam-systemd still installed? |
00:36.26 | Guest3 | did the same thing except with grep libpam-systemd |
00:36.30 | Guest3 | nothing came up |
00:36.37 | Guest3 | however hostnamectl works |
00:36.44 | Guest3 | so i'm assuming not all packages are gone |
00:37.30 | fsmithred | cat /proc/1/comm |
00:37.49 | Guest3 | systemd comes up |
00:37.52 | Guest3 | that's it |
00:37.54 | fsmithred | ok |
00:38.52 | fsmithred | I guess you need to install sysvinit-core |
00:39.08 | Guest3 | apt install sysvinit-core? |
00:39.13 | fsmithred | yeah |
00:39.24 | fsmithred | and then a reboot |
00:39.30 | Guest3 | ok that didn't work |
00:39.38 | Guest3 | i'm going to try apt --fix-broken install |
00:39.40 | fsmithred | won't let you install it? |
00:39.50 | Guest3 | yea |
00:39.51 | Guest3 | well |
00:40.03 | Guest3 | it says Reading state info... done |
00:40.13 | Guest3 | and then it pulls up the unmet dependencies |
00:40.29 | Guest3 | which are the 4.19 kernel image, which depends on initramfs |
00:40.36 | Guest3 | systemd-sysv |
00:40.52 | fsmithred | you don't need systemd-sysv |
00:41.15 | Guest3 | well |
00:41.17 | Guest3 | what should i do |
00:41.22 | Guest3 | it's not letting me install stuff |
00:41.26 | fsmithred | get debian out of your sources.list |
00:41.35 | fsmithred | or sources.list.d/whatever |
00:41.42 | fsmithred | there is no systemd-sysv in devuan |
00:42.01 | Guest3 | i commented all of the debian stuff out |
00:42.11 | fsmithred | and then apt update? |
00:42.23 | Guest3 | all right so i guess i could do that |
00:42.43 | fsmithred | that updates the package cache so that apt knows what's available |
00:42.51 | fsmithred | brb |
00:43.56 | Guest3 | still brings up unmet dependencies |
00:51.37 | fsmithred | what deps? |
00:53.52 | Guest3 | the linux image depends on the initramfs-tools, systemd-sysv conflics with sysvinit core, and sysvinit depends on initscripts, sysv-rc/openrc/file-rc, and conflicts with systemd-sysv |
00:54.22 | Guest3 | one of the sysvinit deps can be met with sysv-rc, openrc or file-rc |
00:56.29 | fsmithred | install sysv-rc |
00:56.41 | fsmithred | maybe a few others with it |
00:57.22 | Guest3 | so |
00:57.47 | fsmithred | any progress? |
00:57.52 | Guest3 | that depends on on innserv and startpar |
00:58.12 | Guest3 | i guess i'm starting to understand where the term dependency hell comes from |
00:58.29 | fsmithred | yeah, and it seems to be getting worse |
01:00.52 | Guest3 | ok so i tried fix broken install |
01:01.24 | *** join/#devuan n4dir (~n4dir@87.123.201.220) |
01:02.51 | Guest3 | brb |
01:02.59 | Guest3 | will be back in some time |
01:03.06 | fsmithred | ok, here's a discussion that may help https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=17716#p17716 |
01:10.08 | *** join/#devuan __dutch__ (~DutchIngr@unaffiliated/dutchingraham) |
01:11.38 | Guest3 | so |
01:11.41 | Guest3 | i should reboot? |
01:12.02 | Guest3 | that seems to be what worked for this person |
01:12.26 | Guest3 | i believe i've installed wicd |
01:13.03 | Guest3 | so i'll reboot and try to fix my install |
01:14.47 | Guest3 | ok |
01:14.57 | Guest3 | now it's asking to enter a runlevel |
01:15.02 | fsmithred | what? |
01:15.20 | Guest3 | because no inittab was found |
01:15.36 | fsmithred | this is a reboot attempt? |
01:15.39 | Guest3 | yeah |
01:16.09 | fsmithred | maybe you can still boot systemd |
01:16.20 | Guest3 | how |
01:16.27 | fsmithred | press e at the boot menu |
01:16.34 | fsmithred | scroll down to the linux line |
01:16.40 | fsmithred | add the following to that line |
01:16.55 | fsmithred | init=/lib/systemd/... uh-ho |
01:16.59 | fsmithred | you need to look |
01:17.06 | fsmithred | is it /lib/systemd/systemd? |
01:17.23 | Guest3 | ok |
01:17.41 | Guest3 | i thought it would be a good idea to do level 3 bc it started it normally |
01:17.55 | Guest3 | but it says no more processes are left at the runlevel |
01:18.07 | Guest3 | well that was stupid |
01:18.12 | fsmithred | you have runlevel 3 configured specially? |
01:18.16 | Guest3 | no |
01:18.32 | fsmithred | does that file exist or not? |
01:18.46 | fsmithred | if so, boot systemd |
01:18.54 | fsmithred | otherwise you have to fix it in chroot |
01:18.55 | Guest3 | can't type anything |
01:19.03 | fsmithred | at the boot menu? |
01:19.09 | Guest3 | i guess |
01:19.34 | fsmithred | what does it look like? |
01:19.39 | Guest3 | black screen |
01:19.46 | fsmithred | read me some words |
01:19.48 | Guest3 | it says INIT: version 2.93 booting |
01:19.56 | Guest3 | INIT: No inittab file found |
01:20.00 | Guest3 | Enter runlevel: |
01:20.01 | fsmithred | yeah, that's not going to work |
01:20.02 | Guest3 | so i typed 3 |
01:20.03 | fsmithred | reboot |
01:20.06 | Guest3 | and it sas |
01:20.16 | Guest3 | init: entering runlevel: 3 |
01:20.17 | fsmithred | and when you get to the boot menu, press e to edit |
01:20.23 | Guest3 | no more processes left |
01:20.27 | Guest3 | and i can't type anything |
01:20.27 | fsmithred | yeah, ok |
01:20.38 | fsmithred | because it can't use sysvinit |
01:20.57 | fsmithred | you must boot systemd |
01:21.00 | Guest3 | i guess i'll turn the systemoff then |
01:21.05 | Guest3 | bc i can't type anything |
01:21.25 | fsmithred | yeah, power button |
01:23.20 | Guest3 | ok i'm in grub |
01:23.26 | Guest3 | it's booting debian |
01:23.37 | Guest3 | once again it's at the runlevel part |
01:23.45 | fsmithred | you have to tell it to use system |
01:23.49 | fsmithred | reboot |
01:23.57 | fsmithred | at the boot menu press e to edit |
01:24.03 | Guest3 | ok so 6 |
01:24.19 | Guest3 | 6 is supposed to reboot |
01:24.21 | fsmithred | does that work? |
01:24.24 | Guest3 | uh |
01:24.30 | Guest3 | well it's saying no more processes |
01:24.31 | fsmithred | yeah, if you're using sysvinit, 6 is reboot |
01:24.36 | fsmithred | but you are not using sysvinit |
01:24.39 | Guest3 | i think i am |
01:24.40 | fsmithred | or any other init system |
01:24.46 | fsmithred | it's dead |
01:24.53 | Guest3 | because it just says INIT: version 2.93 |
01:25.07 | Guest3 | ah ok |
01:25.10 | Guest3 | so reinstall then |
01:25.11 | fsmithred | you think it was booting debian becausae you saw a menu that said Debian? |
01:25.16 | fsmithred | nNONONO |
01:25.20 | fsmithred | reboot systemd |
01:25.24 | Guest3 | i'm trying |
01:25.27 | fsmithred | olisten to what I'm telling you to do |
01:25.33 | Guest3 | ok |
01:25.35 | fsmithred | do you know what the boot menu looks like? |
01:25.37 | Guest3 | so i should press e in grub then? |
01:25.41 | fsmithred | yes |
01:25.44 | Guest3 | ok |
01:25.48 | Guest3 | god i'm an idiot |
01:25.55 | Guest3 | i thought i asked that but i guess i never did |
01:26.03 | fsmithred | now with arrow keys, scroll down to the linux line |
01:26.15 | fsmithred | and to the end of that line |
01:26.28 | fsmithred | and I have to guess the path |
01:26.44 | Guest3 | one sec i need to boot linux again |
01:26.47 | fsmithred | maybe I don't |
01:26.55 | fsmithred | boot what linux? |
01:27.11 | Guest3 | i need to go into windows uefi boot to do this |
01:27.39 | Guest3 | ok it's starting |
01:27.58 | Guest3 | at linux line |
01:28.16 | Guest3 | the /boot/vmlinuz-4.19 line |
01:28.46 | Guest3 | the top part says setparams 'Debian GNU/Linux' |
01:29.21 | fsmithred | scroll down to the line that starts wtih linux |
01:29.27 | Guest3 | i'm tere |
01:29.30 | Guest3 | what do i do |
01:29.34 | fsmithred | end of the line, type |
01:29.41 | fsmithred | init=/lib/systemd/systemd |
01:29.58 | fsmithred | then press ctrl-x |
01:30.20 | Guest3 | ok so everytime i type a forward slash a backslash accompanies it |
01:30.40 | fsmithred | only when the line wraps, I hope |
01:30.47 | Guest3 | yeah |
01:30.50 | fsmithred | ok |
01:31.06 | Guest3 | so ctrl+x then |
01:33.19 | *** join/#devuan ar3itrary (~hacker@2a03:4000:6:8177:2::1) |
01:33.34 | Guest3 | so uh |
01:33.43 | Guest3 | now i'm in emergency mode |
01:33.45 | Guest3 | for systemd |
01:33.59 | fsmithred | it booted? |
01:34.09 | fsmithred | you're at a command prompt? |
01:34.15 | Guest3 | well |
01:34.26 | Guest3 | now it says give root password for maintenance |
01:34.31 | Guest3 | or control d to continue |
01:35.29 | Guest3 | but yeah i guess it did boot in emergency mode |
01:35.35 | Guest3 | if that counts |
01:35.38 | fsmithred | give root password |
01:35.55 | Guest3 | ok |
01:35.59 | Guest3 | i'm in a shell |
01:36.05 | fsmithred | look in /boot and make sure there's initrd.img-<version> to match the running kernel |
01:36.12 | fsmithred | uname -r |
01:36.17 | fsmithred | to see the kernel version |
01:36.20 | Guest3 | seems like there is |
01:36.36 | Guest3 | initrd.img-4.19.0-11-amd64 |
01:36.40 | Guest3 | same as the kernel |
01:36.47 | fsmithred | ok, that's good |
01:37.41 | fsmithred | you probably don't have internet connection |
01:38.12 | Guest3 | should i do a connection test? |
01:38.20 | fsmithred | ping google.com |
01:38.30 | fsmithred | ping 8.8.8.8 |
01:38.47 | Guest3 | tried google.com, said ping: google.com: name or service not known |
01:39.01 | fsmithred | try the numbers |
01:39.09 | Guest3 | 8.8.8.8 says network is unreachable |
01:39.13 | fsmithred | ok |
01:39.14 | Guest3 | i think you're right about networks |
01:39.43 | fsmithred | I don't know how to get to multi-user graphical whatever they call it with systemd |
01:39.59 | Guest3 | well |
01:40.08 | Guest3 | it failed to raise network interfaces |
01:40.11 | Guest3 | that might be impossible |
01:40.30 | fsmithred | you're in rescue mode or equivalent of runlevel 1 |
01:40.37 | fsmithred | but systemd does not have runlevels |
01:40.39 | fsmithred | it has targets |
01:40.43 | fsmithred | and I have no arrows |
01:40.52 | Guest3 | ah ok |
01:41.00 | fsmithred | how to change |
01:41.03 | Guest3 | so it says target network is reached |
01:41.09 | Guest3 | target network is online |
01:41.12 | fsmithred | oh, cool |
01:41.22 | fsmithred | did you do something to connect? |
01:41.24 | Guest3 | network time synchronization |
01:41.29 | Guest3 | and system time synchronized |
01:41.31 | Guest3 | no |
01:41.37 | Guest3 | this is just the systemd boot thing that comes up |
01:41.51 | fsmithred | ip a |
01:42.06 | fsmithred | look for an ip address on your interface |
01:42.12 | Guest3 | alright |
01:42.14 | fsmithred | eth0 or enpsxxxxx |
01:42.39 | Guest3 | http://127.0.0.1/ |
01:42.43 | fsmithred | no |
01:42.45 | Guest3 | shows up for lo |
01:42.46 | fsmithred | lol |
01:42.50 | Guest3 | uh |
01:42.54 | fsmithred | yeah, that's localhost. you. |
01:43.01 | Guest3 | i can't see anything for eno2 |
01:43.08 | fsmithred | try |
01:43.12 | fsmithred | dhclient eno2 |
01:43.20 | fsmithred | that's really the interface name? |
01:43.42 | Guest3 | nothing came up for dhclient eno2 |
01:44.04 | fsmithred | no error? |
01:44.07 | fsmithred | ip a |
01:44.27 | Guest3 | this time an ip came up |
01:44.32 | fsmithred | cool |
01:44.40 | fsmithred | that means you can continue with the upgrade |
01:44.49 | fsmithred | if only we knew what commands to use |
01:45.00 | fsmithred | history |
01:45.08 | fsmithred | will show you what commands you used before |
01:45.14 | fsmithred | might help to reorient you |
01:45.36 | Guest3 | yeah ik that, so i should just continue with the migration? |
01:45.48 | fsmithred | try it |
01:45.50 | fsmithred | I would |
01:46.11 | fsmithred | actually, I would be pretty angry if I were in your position |
01:46.24 | fsmithred | and I'm pretty angry right here in mine |
01:47.09 | Guest3 | this isn't the first time i've had issues |
01:47.22 | Guest3 | debian unstable screwed up for some reason |
01:47.29 | Guest3 | probably bc i didn't use a minimal netinst |
01:47.51 | Guest3 | maybe if i retry with a minimal netinst it'll not screw up as badly? |
01:47.57 | Guest3 | i'm not sure |
01:48.11 | Guest3 | anyways i guess it's a good time to mention the livecd image i used |
01:48.29 | Guest3 | it was one of the ones that came preinstalled with a DE(xfce in my case) |
01:49.13 | Guest3 | so it took up a lot more than the netinst(i think the netinst was a couple hundred mb, the one i used this time took at least 2 gb) |
01:49.43 | fsmithred | yeah, the full system is in the iso |
01:49.58 | Guest3 | i'm mentioning this bc the debian wiki says that minimal isos are better for upgrading to testing or unstable |
01:50.02 | fsmithred | you end up with about the same amount on the hard disk after install |
01:50.11 | Guest3 | ah |
01:50.19 | fsmithred | oh, this was a new buster install? |
01:50.23 | Guest3 | well |
01:50.30 | Guest3 | yeah more or less |
01:50.41 | Guest3 | i installed, i think i installed git |
01:50.49 | Guest3 | and that was kind of all i've done with this specific install |
01:50.51 | fsmithred | that's the hard way to get devuan |
01:51.06 | fsmithred | easier to start with a devuan iso |
01:51.44 | fsmithred | the advice about netinstall is probably for upgrading to the testing suite when there are no isos for it. |
01:52.02 | fsmithred | do a minimal install, then upgrade, then add the rest of what you want. |
01:52.09 | fsmithred | rather than upgrade a full system |
01:52.51 | Guest3 | ah ic |
01:53.27 | fsmithred | https://files.devuan.org/devuan_beowulf/installer-iso/ |
01:53.43 | fsmithred | there are netinstall isos on that page |
01:53.58 | Guest3 | i can live-test this right? |
01:54.12 | fsmithred | live iso are up one level and over |
01:54.30 | fsmithred | https://files.devuan.org/devuan_beowulf/desktop-live/ |
01:54.55 | Guest3 | ok |
01:54.56 | fsmithred | You can install from the live isos, but it's a different installer (refractainstaller) |
01:55.10 | Guest3 | have you used both? |
01:55.15 | fsmithred | also, the live isos have nonfree firmware installed so you can test wireless |
01:55.34 | fsmithred | lol,yeah, I've used them more times than I care to think about |
01:55.43 | fsmithred | I make the live isos, and I help test all of them |

04:23.36 | metalune[m] | Hi |
04:24.11 | metalune[m] | I've been thinking about trying out devuan, because I switched from artix to debian (searching for a more stable system do to my work on) but I miss runit |
04:24.26 | metalune[m] | but I am unsure about how stable devuan is |
04:27.59 | Xenguy_ | Devuan is Debian with some omissions I think |
04:28.28 | Xenguy_ | So if you consider Debian stable, then I would say Devuan must needs be also |
04:29.30 | Xenguy_ | I've used both over the years, and I see no real difference (besides the obvious systemd) |
04:31.42 | metalune[m] | hum.. because I had tons of problems with setting up pulseaudio myself and also with SDL (on artix) and I don't wanna re-encounter that in devuan if possible |
04:32.54 | Xenguy_ | For me, audio (with PA) just works. Beowulf required me to comment out 1 line in a PA file, and it was well documented in the Release Notes |
04:33.22 | Xenguy_ | What is your hardware? And did it work on Debian? |
04:34.13 | metalune[m] | It works flawlessly on debian |
04:34.18 | metalune[m] | and hardware wise... I have no idea |
04:34.25 | metalune[m] | I just use a ThinkPad x230 |
04:34.34 | metalune[m] | there are usually no compatibility problems with i t |
04:34.34 | Xenguy_ | So if you are installing Devuan on the same hardware, it should work also |
04:34.40 | metalune[m] | neat |
04:34.47 | metalune[m] | I will give it a try then |
04:34.55 | Xenguy_ | Oh yeah, that should be no problem, I run the same thinkpad issue here |
04:35.58 | metalune[m] | thinkpad issue? |
04:35.59 | Xenguy_ | Say, got any good X230 batteries to sell? ; -) |
04:36.07 | metalune[m] | heh, no, sorry |
04:36.10 | metalune[m] | I need mine |
04:36.14 | Xenguy_ | I just mean I run Thinkpads also |
04:36.20 | metalune[m] | I love this laptop |
04:36.57 | Xenguy_ | I have an X220, and I love it the same way, but it's costing me money lately. Any OT I suppose. |
04:37.27 | Xenguy_ | There is #devuan-offtopic for that |

11:08.08 | dashie_ | unsure why |
11:08.16 | unixbsd | what do you mean by gutted? |
11:08.19 | unixbsd | I use evilwm ;) |
11:08.47 | dashie_ | I mean when I upgraded, it removed a lot of MATE's packages |
11:09.07 | dashie_ | when I autoremoved the rest of the packages, it was way less than the 223 it wanted to install |
11:09.21 | dashie_ | 30 or so vs 223 |
11:09.22 | dashie_ | gutted |
11:09.47 | dashie_ | and I have zero idea why |
11:10.13 | dashie_ | I mean, zero idea why it didn't reinstall all those packages it was apparently missing |
11:10.22 | unixbsd | it can happen with upgrading, this is why, I usually debootstrap, and apt-get on clean /target, then put on another partition. |
11:10.53 | dashie_ | if I reboot to a nice, clean desktop, I'll be happy |
11:11.07 | dashie_ | the past 6 hours have been torture |

11:12.08 | dashie_ | there were three packages that weren't ever updated, though |
11:12.38 | dashie_ | all three of them are python2, but the dependents that are keeping them from upgrading are python? |
11:12.44 | unixbsd | I use an evilish script/c to create a new system within max. 5 min. on my own devuan apache2 server. this crap C code allows to install devuan in max. 5 min with own server: https://termbin.com/r2sd |

11:23.04 | dashie_ | just |

16:58.37 | dashie_ | yeah, it's complaining about versions is why python 2 was held back |

17:00.12 | fsmithred | yeah, if you don't pin it, you'll upgrade to ceres |
17:00.40 | fsmithred | then you not only get the fixes earlier, you get the breakage earlier, too |
17:01.08 | dashie_ | how would I pin it in sources.list? |
17:01.10 | n4dir | the opinions if it is better to run testing, mixed testing-unstable or unstable differ quite a bit. I am in favor of the latter |
17:01.30 | dashie_ | and is that what you recommend? |
17:01.47 | fsmithred | create a file in /etc/apt/preferences.d/ |
17:01.52 | fsmithred | call it whatever you want |
17:01.59 | fsmithred | three lines |
17:02.34 | fsmithred | Package: * |
17:02.35 | fsmithred | Pin: release n=ceres |
17:02.35 | fsmithred | Pin-Priority: 50 |
17:02.52 | dashie_ | thankfully not a lot of typing, I can't exactly copy paste |
17:02.59 | fsmithred | you could make it 100 instead of 50 |
17:03.27 | n4dir | dashie_: i'd say that testing-unstable testing set to Default, aka pinning, is the most healthy way. Pure unstable is less fiddling, but more risk of breakage. |
17:03.31 | n4dir | APT::Default-Release "testing"; |
17:03.36 | dashie_ | what does pin-priority do? |
17:03.56 | n4dir | that in /etc/apt/apt.conf ; would work too, set "testing" accordingly (ceres? I wouldn't know) |
17:04.31 | n4dir | less typing, more i didn't say |
17:04.40 | fsmithred | pin-priority determines whether/when packages get installed or upgraded from that repo |
17:04.44 | fsmithred | 500 is default |
17:05.00 | fsmithred | if you don't pin ceres, then any installed packages will get upgraded to ceres |
17:05.16 | fsmithred | pin it to less than 500 and you have to specify that you want to install from ceres |
17:05.26 | dashie_ | okay |
17:05.26 | fsmithred | apt -t ceres install python-pygame |
17:05.53 | fsmithred | set ceres to 100 and the packages from ceres will be upgraded whenever you upgrade |
17:06.04 | fsmithred | less than 100 and they will only upgrade when you say so |
17:06.44 | fsmithred | see man apt_preferences for full explanation of pinning |
17:07.41 | dashie_ | okay |
17:07.48 | fsmithred | reading it now, maybe the 50 should be 1 |
17:08.28 | dashie_ | it comes up with an error |
17:08.36 | n4dir | i got it set to 100 and that seems to work too. |
17:08.51 | dashie_ | it basically says "that's not a source |
17:08.53 | dashie_ | " |
17:09.11 | dashie_ | oh, I forgot to add it to my sources.list |
17:09.16 | dashie_ | cause I am dumb |
17:09.30 | n4dir | well, in the middle of a fight it happens to everyone, i guess |
17:09.32 | fsmithred | lol |
17:09.35 | fsmithred | yup |
17:09.37 | n4dir | or i am dumb too, fine with that |
17:10.01 | fsmithred | set to 100 and any installed packages from ceres will get automatic upgrades |
17:10.01 | dashie_ | yep, I'm fighting my computer... and losing terribly |
17:10.22 | fsmithred | you have to swear at it, really bad stuff |
17:10.30 | fsmithred | the worst you can think of |
17:10.55 | dashie_ | it's the same everything as Chimaera, just Ceres instead? |
17:11.12 | dashie_ | should I use main contrib and non-free? |
17:11.28 | dashie_ | considering I have to manually install anything from there anyway |
17:12.00 | n4dir | I think once you installed a package with -t ; then it will get the according upgrades. So not really "manually" |
17:12.20 | n4dir | contrib and non-free depends if you need them. |
17:12.24 | dashie_ | I have it set to priority 50 |
17:12.39 | fsmithred | you need it for firmware-amd-graphics |
17:13.02 | n4dir | And Sid and Ceres only have the "main" line, not security or such |
17:13.44 | fsmithred | thanks, you just reminded me that I need those lines commented out in the isos I'm making today |
17:13.48 | dashie_ | I really think I'll just stick to what's in Chimaera |
17:14.00 | dashie_ | you're welcome |
17:14.08 | dashie_ | I'm glad my misfortune has helped someone |
17:14.21 | dashie_ | not being sarcastic, but I'm still salty about it |
17:14.23 | fsmithred | yeah, if you have a problem, then you can see if there's a fix in ceres |
17:14.24 | n4dir | good choice too. Adding sid is only useful as sometimes packages are "held", and a problem in testing can't be quickly fixed. |
17:14.44 | n4dir | i don't think that happens all the time. It can happen. |
17:15.34 | n4dir | dashie_: Is the actual problem that you have no working GUI? Mate, that is? If so, install something working (or test if something else works). Then you got a GUI to troubleshoot more |
17:15.38 | n4dir | just a proposal |
17:15.46 | dashie_ | and yet again, I forgot to do apt update |
17:15.55 | dashie_ | and I do have a gui, I just can't log in |
17:16.09 | n4dir | yeah, i meant a working one |
17:17.05 | n4dir | which always can be the display-manager, which is the first thing i would move out of the way (for the troubleshooting) |
17:17.46 | fsmithred | you still have policykit-1 and policykit-1-gnome installed? |
17:18.03 | fsmithred | elogind and libpam-elogind also |
17:18.04 | dashie_ | will check |
17:18.12 | fsmithred | I need to go make lunch |
17:18.33 | fsmithred | I'll be back in about 20 minutes |
17:18.59 | dashie_ | how do I search installed packages? |
17:19.05 | dashie_ | because I'm dumb |
17:19.18 | fsmithred | dpkg -l |grep <pattern> |
17:19.38 | fsmithred | bbiab |
17:19.56 | dashie_ | policykit packages are installed |
17:20.25 | dashie_ | yep, it's all installed |
17:21.04 | dashie_ | brb |
17:30.00 | dashie_ | back |
17:32.10 | dashie_ | n4dir: by the way, I think it has something to do with authentication, from some of the logs I've looked through, it says it's failed to authenticate the session |
17:32.22 | dashie_ | not me, just the session |
17:33.52 | n4dir | There is a lot of if and when and then (which softeware, so on). |
17:33.59 | n4dir | Still: you use a display-manager |
17:34.01 | n4dir | ? |
17:34.14 | n4dir | The other thing: ages ago i had problems with the file ~/.Xauthority |
17:34.39 | dashie_ | I use MATE, and that's all I know |
17:34.41 | n4dir | i removed it, and the problem was solved. remove might mean: mv ~/.Xauthority ~/Xauthority_Backup |
17:34.58 | dashie_ | my friend actually had me try that |
17:35.00 | dashie_ | no dics |
17:35.00 | n4dir | the thing before you see Mate itself. The login screen. Where you enter username and passwd |

17:35.20 | dashie_ | what about it is supposed to tip me off? |
17:35.52 | n4dir | You got such a login screen? Which most call display-manger? |
17:36.03 | dashie_ | uh, yeah, I get a login screen |
17:36.42 | n4dir | Good. So, first test, i would install a small WM, say "apt-get install fluxbox", and choose that from the display-manager |
17:36.53 | n4dir | Check if that works. If it does, the problem is within Mate |
17:37.14 | n4dir | If it doesn't, stop the display-manager, say /etc/init.d/name-of stop; then use startx to start X |
17:37.31 | n4dir | If that fails too, then i ran out of ideas. You already tested a different user above, iirc |
17:37.40 | dashie_ | it had two options by default, actually |
17:37.52 | dashie_ | "default X session" was the other |
17:37.54 | dashie_ | for some reason |
17:38.17 | dashie_ | I tried that, unintentionally, if that matters |
17:38.29 | n4dir | Then there are log file. ~/.xsession-errors , or similar |
17:38.39 | xinomilo | never had issues with MATE, do you have elogind+lightdm installed along MATE? |
17:39.08 | xinomilo | i think slim DM had some issues, but never really used it tbh. |
17:39.29 | dashie_ | I have elogind and lightdm |
17:39.36 | dashie_ | I actually purged and reinstalled lightdm |
17:39.42 | dashie_ | along with the entire MATE desktop |
17:39.58 | dashie_ | to try to fix this |
17:41.04 | xinomilo | try n4dir suggestions |
17:42.15 | xinomilo | install a different WM/DE , check ~/.xsession-errors, auth/syslog/xorg logs.. |
17:42.31 | xinomilo | there should be a hint someplace |
17:43.02 | dashie_ | for some reason, the authentication "conversation" is failing |
17:43.44 | dashie_ | it seems like it's looking for systemd components |
17:44.12 | dashie_ | it also hasn't created /etc/securetty |
17:44.54 | fsmithred | libpam-elogind |
17:45.41 | dashie_ | gkr-pam says it can't find the daemon it wants |
17:47.53 | fsmithred | installing on hardware or is this a VM? |
17:48.20 | dashie_ | hardware |
17:49.22 | xinomilo | gkr-pam could be missing `libpam-gnome-keyring` |
17:49.27 | xinomilo | not sure |
17:50.26 | dashie_ | it's installed |

17:52.17 | n4dir | isn't there a contradiction between the last sentence and the one before that? ha ha . Sorry, i couldn't resist |
18:15.30 | dashie_ | oh so true, but I'm back now |
18:16.43 | dashie_ | has anyone come up with why this is happening? |

19:11.46 | fsmithred | I would stop the login manager and use vt1 because that's where I would be after booting up |
19:12.25 | dashie__ | I just wanna watch some youtube videos |
19:13.54 | dashie__ | I guess I'm cool to just use my desktop in vt5? |
19:14.03 | fsmithred | yeah |

20:34.42 | fsmithred | rebooting |
20:34.53 | DashiePie | I think it has something to do with pepperflash now |
20:35.30 | fsmithred | OH! |
20:35.45 | fsmithred | sorry I could not reproduce your error |
20:35.59 | fsmithred | I just had one of the smoothest upgrades I've ever done |
20:36.28 | fsmithred | this was a recent netinstall with speech synth (it reads to me) |
20:36.44 | fsmithred | orca was not working in lightdm or mate |
20:36.51 | fsmithred | after the upgrade, it works |

20:37.21 | DashiePie | I'm that disaster kid meme |
20:37.45 | fsmithred | well, if we can figure out what breaks, we should keep you around for QC |
20:38.13 | fsmithred | I can't think of all the ways people can break stuff, so any help is appreciated. |
20:38.44 | fsmithred | to be fair, I've seen a number of upgrades and migrations go badly |
20:38.50 | DashiePie | ah shit, I just reinstalled pepperflash |
20:38.55 | DashiePie | it did nothing |
20:39.07 | fsmithred | well, are you sure it's the same version you had before? |
20:39.24 | fsmithred | flash died yesterday |
20:39.27 | fsmithred | give it up |
20:40.53 | DashiePie | really wish they hadn't killed it |
20:41.13 | DashiePie | it doesn't even have anything to do with pepperflash |
20:41.22 | DashiePie | how can I diagnose this? |
