04:01.00 | donut-assassin | Hello guys! |
04:02.06 | donut-assassin | I have an old thinkpad with Devuan installed on it, I dropped it while running, the disk is OK, but now has 5 bad sectors, and has lost the eudev program. |
04:03.40 | donut-assassin | on bootup it boot sto runlevel 2. Enters Slim login manager, but (probably since [e]udev is missing) now no longer detects keyboard. On REISUB i can drop into a root shell. |
04:05.31 | donut-assassin | ..however it appears the hard-drive is locked as read-only, since eudev is missing, I can no longer detect plugged in USB's for backup. I have a 30GIG virtual image I need to recover, the disk is fully-encrypted with LVM. What other options do I have, or can I repair the system by booting in with a Devuan USB live-installer? |

04:17.52 | fluffywolf | I'm not familiar with encrypted lvm, so I don't know how hard it is to decrypt without booting it. you could try booting the drive in something that could have a second non-usb drive installed and copy it there. |
04:20.28 | fluffywolf | but, any drive that now has 5 bad sectors, might be seconds away from being a brick. imaging it would be the first thing I'd do. but, as I said, I know nothing about encryption, so I don't know if that'd work. |

07:24.37 | gnarface | did you try just purging the konqueror package? |

07:27.46 | deldenzen | is there any way to uninstall all the packages which were recommended? |
07:29.41 | gnarface | hmm, there should be but i forget exactly |
07:30.06 | gnarface | usually what i do is directly remove one of the ones i see it install, then run "apt-get --purge autoremove" on what's left over |

07:35.20 | gnarface | you can add it to some config file to make it permanent but i forget the details on that too |
07:35.25 | gnarface | it's in the man page somewhere i think |

17:19.38 | fsmithred | and another new kernel |
17:19.41 | onefang | Similiar to what I got yesterday. Most of it is bits of Libre Office. |

17:19.56 | Xenguy | onefang, yeah |
17:19.57 | fsmithred | my uptime was only 18 days, and I upgraded from -14 to -16 |
17:20.12 | golinux | Libre Office is a hog |
17:20.27 | fsmithred | so there was -15 in there. -14 was from Jan 30 |

This means that the other programs may have more features than Krita for image manipulation tasks, such as stitching together photos, while Kritaâs tools are most relevant to digital painting, concept art, illustration, and texturing. This fact accounts for a great deal of Kritaâs design." |

21:14.48 | melodie | hi |
21:15.04 | melodie | a lady handed me a laptop Asus |
21:15.26 | melodie | I looked into the bios : the machine date is 2002! |
21:16.09 | melodie | I changed the cmos battery, changed the RAM for PC 2700 1GBx2 and added a 32GB PATA SSD |
21:16.33 | melodie | since yesterday I tried more than half a dozen 32bits distros presented as light, on the web |
21:16.44 | melodie | tried them in virtualbox |
21:17.23 | melodie | also I tried some light antiX spinoffs too but could not even start youtube and listen to music (lags too much). |
21:17.44 | melodie | finally I installed Devuan which brings much more joy in that oldie! |
21:19.01 | melodie | I meet with a little annoyance, I hope someone can help me with that : Synaptic won't start, it is setup to use pkexec and pkexec works better with systemd. So I don't want to add systemd so I tried the antiX trick : "su-to-root -X -c synaptic" |
21:19.07 | melodie | that works, however |
21:19.26 | melodie | what is funny, it triggers the Terminal to prompt me for the password. |
21:19.47 | melodie | any idea how I could get a regular x window to prompt for the password? |
21:20.11 | melodie | I have tried several options, but no luck yet |

21:31.43 | fsmithred | melodie, pkexec should work correctly in devuan. Is policykit-1-gnome installed? |
21:31.56 | melodie | fsmithred let me check |
21:32.57 | fsmithred | are you keeping this for yourself or returning it to the original user? |
21:33.04 | melodie | fsmithred yes it is, version 0.105-7 |
21:33.23 | melodie | neither nor, it's for another end user, why? |
21:34.12 | *** part/#devuan AnimaInvicta (~AnimaInvi@ber27-1-78-230-215-86.fbx.proxad.net) |
21:34.45 | melodie | I already have met with some kind of trouble around pkexec lately, I had heard there was a bug in some versions of policykit gnome |
21:35.22 | melodie | I can find a turn around, but I'd rather ask for advice this time |
21:38.03 | fsmithred | I was thinking maybe you would do better to use command line instead of synaptic |
21:38.38 | fsmithred | but that depends on the user |
21:38.50 | melodie | I do use command line, a lot, however I am trying to get the linux boxes I hand over to end users as graphical as possible |
21:39.16 | melodie | so typing a root password in a terminal feels not right |
21:39.20 | fsmithred | I just 'su' and then run graphical apps |
21:39.29 | fsmithred | but I messed with root's path to get that to work |
21:39.43 | fsmithred | and yes, I have to type root's password |
21:39.54 | fsmithred | might work better with sudo, but I don't use that much |
21:39.54 | melodie | this is what I have done to try to get as close as possible to what is desirable: |
21:40.05 | melodie | neither su not sudo |
21:40.22 | melodie | these are potentiel sources of trouble and security issues |
21:40.29 | melodie | I have installed menu |
21:40.46 | melodie | which brought in the "su-to-root" command as the one antiX uses |
21:41.02 | melodie | I have used the exact same command line as them in the synaptic.desktop file: |
21:41.06 | *** join/#devuan james1138 (~chatzilla@71.36.15.31) |
21:41.13 | melodie | Exec=su-to-root -X -c synaptic |
21:41.23 | melodie | man su-to-root says the same |
21:42.02 | melodie | but now when I start synaptic from the menus it prompts a terminal instead of prompting a graphical window, which is a bit strange |
21:42.14 | melodie | it should trigger a window |
21:42.18 | fsmithred | what window? |
21:42.20 | melodie | I mean a X window |
21:42.30 | fsmithred | are you thinking of gksu window? |
21:42.47 | melodie | fsmithred any window, gksu does not exist anymore right? |
21:42.55 | fsmithred | right |
21:43.01 | fsmithred | pkexec has replaced it |
21:43.13 | melodie | but if thers is no systemd maybe.. I don't know, gksu still exists in antiX |
21:43.29 | melodie | maybe I try to install gksu from antiX ? :D |
21:43.36 | fsmithred | probably an old version forward-ported |
21:43.41 | fsmithred | you could try |
21:43.52 | fsmithred | use dpkg, not apt |
21:43.53 | melodie | ok why not |
21:44.01 | melodie | yes, sure |
21:44.10 | melodie | I'll have to dpkg-repack first |
21:44.17 | fsmithred | why? |
21:44.21 | melodie | I have a antiX with Openbox installed in the same machine |
21:44.40 | melodie | to get a gksu package to install |
21:45.19 | melodie | or maybe I boot one in vbox on my regular machine |
21:45.19 | fsmithred | I mean what needs to be changed in the package? |
21:45.39 | melodie | I don't understand why you are asking htis |
21:45.40 | melodie | this |
21:46.01 | fsmithred | maybe I don't understand what dkpg-repack does |
21:46.11 | melodie | it seems if I don't get a gui window to prompt for password in Devuan is because there is neither gksu nor systemd |
21:46.27 | melodie | dpkg-repack rebuilds a package from an installed program |
21:46.46 | *** join/#devuan sgage (~sgage@h69-131-6-108.cntcnh.broadband.dynamic.tds.net) |
21:46.47 | fsmithred | yeah, thanks. I just read that and it makes sense now. |
21:46.48 | melodie | it makes it rise again from it's ashes! Like the phenix! |
21:47.29 | fsmithred | are you saing menu only creates a window for the password if systemd is installed? |
21:47.40 | melodie | or if gksu is installed |
21:47.50 | melodie | the window looks a bit different for both |
21:48.18 | melodie | one is simple, the other one, when having systemd informs of what policykit rule it is using |
21:49.19 | sgage | Just for a data point, pkexec works fine for me on all Devuan versions from |
21:49.25 | melodie | another solution would be to tweak the rule I tried, but I still can't get it to prompt for a password, when using that rule I just start it with privileges without password |
21:49.34 | melodie | sgage ok |
21:49.35 | sgage | ascii to ceres. |
21:50.05 | melodie | sgage how does synaptic start in your install? |
21:50.25 | melodie | or other gui admin tools such as "Users and Groups" ? |
21:50.53 | melodie | ceres : is a terminal admin tool? |
21:51.03 | fsmithred | here they start from the apps menu. A pkexec window comes up for the password. |
21:51.18 | melodie | fsmithred ook |
21:51.25 | fsmithred | or from terminal, 'synaptic-pkexec' gives me the same |
21:51.40 | melodie | fsmithred from a root terminal, isn't it so? |
21:51.50 | fsmithred | I just installed and tried menu, and it does the same as for you - a terminal comes up for the password. |
21:52.04 | fsmithred | no, synaptic-pkexec is run as unpriv user |
21:52.06 | fsmithred | not root |
21:52.10 | melodie | aha |
21:52.20 | fsmithred | the graphical pkexec window asks for root pass |
21:53.00 | fsmithred | I like terminals and think there's nothing wrong with a terminal asking for root password. |
21:53.07 | melodie | when I tried the regular way I had a terminal window prompting for a password, and asking with which users I should use |
21:53.29 | fsmithred | tried exactly what? |
21:53.48 | melodie | started normally from menus |
21:54.11 | melodie | without tweaking the synaptic.desktop file |
21:54.18 | melodie | without menu installed |
21:54.20 | sgage | melodie, 'Exec=synaptic-pkexec' in the .desktop file |
21:54.34 | melodie | sgage I know I have commented it to keep it |
21:54.52 | melodie | in fact |
21:55.05 | melodie | when starting from menus it would not do anything |
21:55.16 | fsmithred | is elogind installed? |
21:55.17 | melodie | so I tried invoking as user |
21:55.23 | melodie | fsmithred I check |
21:55.39 | fsmithred | and libpam-elogind |
21:56.01 | fsmithred | and maybe a display-manager (e.g. lightdm) |
21:56.16 | melodie | yes, and slim is the default dm I think |
21:56.28 | melodie | yes, it's slim |
21:56.39 | melodie | would it be better to install lightdm? |
21:56.44 | fsmithred | yeah, and pkexec should work with that |
21:56.46 | fsmithred | no |
21:56.51 | melodie | ? |
21:57.01 | fsmithred | you did a full desktop install from install iso? |
21:57.22 | melodie | yes, the one with Xfce4 |
21:57.31 | fsmithred | then it should work |
21:57.40 | fsmithred | i.e. starting synaptic from the menu should work |
21:57.42 | melodie | let me check the list of removals |

22:12.55 | melodie | fsmithred I am scrutinizing in it to reinstall a few packages which might help |
22:13.39 | fsmithred | me too |
22:14.02 | fsmithred | was this an upgrade from ascii? |
22:15.10 | melodie | what is ascii ? |
22:16.45 | melodie | so far I reinstalled gir1.2-polkit-1.0 packagekit packagekit-tools and their depends |
22:19.27 | fsmithred | ascii=stretch (oldstable) |
22:20.19 | melodie | no I downloaded the ISO yesterday |
22:20.20 | fsmithred | maybe you need to keep some pinentry stuff |
22:20.36 | melodie | there is pinentry-gnome installed |
22:20.40 | fsmithred | oh, ok |
22:20.47 | melodie | and all of them are presented as x windows for gpg |
22:20.58 | fsmithred | so you know that's working |
22:21.24 | melodie | no i don't, I haven't used any gpg passphrase in that machine |
22:21.48 | melodie | I'll reboot it, I haven't, since the update, and I just reinstalled a few packages |
22:21.56 | melodie | let me see how it goes after reboot |
22:21.58 | fsmithred | ok |
22:22.08 | fsmithred | I couldn't find anyting obvious |
22:22.20 | melodie | neither did I |
22:22.36 | melodie | how old is yesterday's iso? (the one with Xfce4) |
22:22.45 | fsmithred | 3.1.1? |
22:22.49 | fsmithred | few days old |
22:23.05 | melodie | so it might have some bugs |
22:23.14 | melodie | I'll test it again in Virtualbox |
22:23.16 | fsmithred | what bugs? |
22:23.37 | fsmithred | you used a mirror during the install? |
22:23.44 | melodie | I have provided a user name and password at the end of the install |
22:24.09 | melodie | and it has created a user "devuan" associated with my user name, but no user of the name I gave |
22:24.14 | fsmithred | did you install from the desktop-live iso? |
22:24.21 | melodie | no /home/something, just /home/devuan |
22:24.29 | melodie | let me check the name of the ISO |
22:24.32 | fsmithred | you did |
22:24.40 | fsmithred | unless you chose the name devuan |
22:24.48 | melodie | devuan_beowulf_3.1.1_i386_desktop-live.iso |
22:25.24 | melodie | also the way things are presented for the names and users lacks clarity |
22:25.31 | melodie | it is confusing |
22:26.21 | melodie | I will just replay the install in Virtualbox and ask questions at the forum from the Virtualbox experience |
22:26.34 | fsmithred | check the install guide, too |
22:26.38 | fsmithred | I'll get the link |
22:26.51 | fsmithred | oh, I think it's on the desktop in the live iso, too |
22:27.45 | melodie | now I would like to solve this thing around rights and permissions, for the "Users and Groups" tool as well, as I have installed gnome-system-tools and the users tool does not provide me with a choice of providing a password |
22:27.53 | fsmithred | https://www.devuan.org/os/documentation/install-guides/beowulf/live-gui |
22:28.06 | melodie | just had an idea : I'll check if gnome-keyring is installed |
22:28.22 | fsmithred | also, 'id devuan' |
22:28.27 | melodie | thank you |
22:28.30 | melodie | yes? |
22:28.51 | fsmithred | how many users are there and what are their uid:gid and groups? |
22:29.02 | fsmithred | sounds like something got messed up in the install |
22:29.19 | melodie | yes, possible |
22:29.46 | melodie | there is "root" and there is "devuan" who also calls himself by the user name I provided at the end of the install |
22:30.00 | fsmithred | ok, that does not make sense to me |
22:30.07 | melodie | this is why I'll check the doc you just gave me, and redo the install in virtualbox tomorrow |
22:30.18 | fsmithred | ls /home |
22:30.27 | fsmithred | how many user directories are there? |
22:30.28 | melodie | fsmithred I confess it doesn't for me either |
22:30.36 | melodie | one : /home/devuan |
22:30.40 | fsmithred | id devuan |
22:30.46 | melodie | 1000 |
22:30.47 | fsmithred | should be 1000 |
22:30.51 | melodie | it is |
22:31.01 | fsmithred | so where is this other name you're talking about |
22:31.03 | fsmithred | ? |
22:31.31 | fsmithred | is that just the user's "Real name"? |
22:31.37 | melodie | at the end of the install I have never told it to name the user devuan I thought I would name the machine devuan, not the user |
22:31.59 | fsmithred | the hostname is devuan, the user name is devuan and the user password is devuan. |
22:32.00 | melodie | the other user is a generic one I use a lot |
22:32.09 | fsmithred | the installer asks if you want to chage all of those |
22:32.22 | melodie | I will double check tomorrow |
22:32.25 | fsmithred | yeah, but does that other user exist? |
22:32.29 | melodie | and fix it in the install |
22:32.34 | melodie | not it doesn't |
22:32.35 | fsmithred | grep otheruser /etc/passwd |
22:33.01 | fsmithred | yeah, reinstall can take 10 minutes |
22:33.38 | melodie | fsmithred no, it's an old machine, with a pata ssd |
22:33.53 | melodie | where I have already done a lot of writings |
22:34.02 | melodie | in /etc/password : |
22:34.11 | melodie | let's say the user is me: melodie |
22:34.53 | melodie | devuan:x:1000:1000:melodie,,,:/home/devuan:/bin/bash |
22:35.02 | melodie | I don't understand :-( |
22:35.38 | fsmithred | you could drop to console, login as root, kill the xsession, deluser melodie, rm -r /home/devuan |
22:35.44 | fsmithred | and then adduser melodie |
22:36.05 | fsmithred | assuming there's no user named devuan in /etc/passwd |
22:36.14 | fsmithred | or group devuan in /etc/group |
22:36.43 | fsmithred | oh |
22:36.45 | melodie | <PROTECTED> |
22:36.50 | fsmithred | user is devuan group is melodie |
22:36.51 | fsmithred | yeah |
22:36.56 | fsmithred | I read it wrong the first time |
22:36.59 | melodie | very strange |
22:37.15 | fsmithred | deluser devuan, delgroup melodie, rm -r /home/devuan, adduser melodie |
22:37.16 | melodie | ok fsmithred I'll see you on the forum |
22:37.35 | melodie | what is better, deluser or userdel ? |
22:37.50 | fsmithred | deluser is a debian script, userdel is the underlying command |
22:38.00 | fsmithred | deluser and adduser are easier |
22:38.07 | fsmithred | they do more |
22:38.10 | melodie | ok |
22:38.28 | fsmithred | you can modify the behavior in /etc/adduser.conf |
22:39.15 | fsmithred | if you can save /var/log/refractainstaller.log from this installation, I'd like to see it. |
22:39.53 | fsmithred | you can email me through the forum |

22:58.56 | melodie | I am playing the stream of a Swiss radio in mpv, by just dropping the URL into it, it does not lag or anyting : the machine is Asus 4000 A4D : 18 years old |

23:08.09 | specing | why would playing music lag? |
23:09.42 | melodie | specing on youtube in a web browser in a 18 years old laptop? |
23:10.01 | specing | > web browser |
23:10.04 | specing | there's your problem #1 |
23:10.11 | specing | and youtube is #2 |
23:10.35 | melodie | on youtube, in epiphany-browser the music does not lag, only the video |
23:10.43 | melodie | this can be turned around by dl the video |
23:11.15 | melodie | what light audio reader is there for Devuan? I looked for deadbeef but it's not in the repos |
23:11.15 | crashoverride | melodie: devuan is essentially what linux distros should be. |
23:11.31 | melodie | nor xmms legacy. |
23:11.38 | melodie | crashoverride agreed |
23:11.38 | crashoverride | melodie: but people don't value FOSS, and there are good reasons for that: free means doomed, eventually. |
23:11.52 | melodie | doomed how? |
23:12.01 | crashoverride | there's no income to power the development. |
23:12.08 | crashoverride | so it always starts with someone skilled |
23:12.17 | crashoverride | and eventually they need money or to stop |
23:12.17 | golinux | Appropriated and monetized you mean |
23:12.23 | melodie | I have pushed my clients into linux boxes for years and even more the last 3 years, they won't go back to windows unless forced |
23:12.25 | crashoverride | mainly, because they got stuff to pay on their end. |
23:12.27 | crashoverride | right? |
23:12.31 | crashoverride | and so, they gotta stop. |
23:12.38 | crashoverride | and who can afford to continue? students. |
23:12.49 | melodie | crashoverride it's mostly true |
23:12.51 | crashoverride | FOSS is essentially software development from interns as a service. |
23:13.18 | crashoverride | (if you ignore the few diehards like fsmithred here) |
23:13.47 | crashoverride | gosh, I'm never gonna be able to boot that encrypted stuff... |

23:14.31 | crashoverride | I'm really interested. :) |
23:14.54 | crashoverride | or, simply, how to switch grub to debug, because it really crashes |
23:17.43 | crashoverride | daaaamnit |
23:18.46 | melodie | do you have your password ? |
23:19.07 | melodie | if the answer is yes, then do you have the right keyboard layout? |
23:19.18 | crashoverride | it really hangs. |

23:36.09 | melodie | buZz I'll have a look, thank you |
23:36.34 | fsmithred | crashoverride, do you know your way around booting from grub prompt? |
23:36.44 | melodie | Mp3blaster is an audio player for the text console |
23:36.50 | melodie | not for the end users then |
23:37.03 | melodie | unless they are geeks, which they often are not |
23:37.04 | crashoverride | gosh darn it |
23:37.05 | buZz | why not? |
23:37.11 | crashoverride | I REALLY can't fix that... |
23:37.22 | melodie | buZz because they get scared |
23:37.29 | buZz | thats good |
23:37.36 | crashoverride | fear is never good. |
23:37.40 | melodie | buZz why is it? |
23:37.43 | crashoverride | it can save your life, but it never is. |
23:37.48 | crashoverride | it's a safety net. |
23:37.55 | crashoverride | and hitting the safety net is never good. |
23:38.03 | melodie | for now let's save the computers |
23:38.13 | crashoverride | I know our society is complacent about being lying down in safety nets... |
23:38.20 | buZz | melodie: you cant grow remaining in safe zones |
23:38.21 | melodie | from being dismantled, poor machines |
23:38.21 | crashoverride | but that's not because it's popular that it's a good example :D |
23:38.34 | melodie | buZz I'm not concerned |
23:38.38 | melodie | my users are |
23:38.57 | golinux | Isn't this getting a little far from devuan support? |
23:39.06 | melodie | buZz I'll try mp3blaster for myself though |
23:39.09 | golinux | try #devuan-offtopic |
23:39.18 | melodie | golinux fully in the topic |
23:39.26 | crashoverride | maybe I should do screenshots to show you guys what is happening... |
23:39.41 | melodie | I am getting help finish polishing my very first Devuan install for a very old laptop |
23:40.13 | golinux | Armchair psychology? |
23:40.31 | melodie | ? |
23:40.51 | golinux | fear and safety nets and . . . |
23:41.11 | melodie | ⦠|
23:41.48 | melodie | golinux I save old machines for end users this time it's thanks to Devuan |
23:42.31 | fsmithred | crashoverride, were you talking about full-disk-encryption earlier? |
23:43.24 | golinux | melodie: That's a good project. |
23:43.44 | melodie | thanks golinux |
23:44.07 | adhoc | ongoing support for older machines is always a challenge |
23:44.48 | adhoc | I moced most my older machines from a variety of out of support debian to devuan last winter |
23:44.49 | crashoverride | yeah. |
23:44.57 | crashoverride | fsmithred: I have a UEFI partition that has a EFI binary |
23:45.13 | crashoverride | fsmithred: I have a boot partition with a grub setup, an initramfs, vmlinuz and some other files |
23:45.19 | crashoverride | (configuration and modules) |
23:45.47 | fsmithred | boot partition is not encrypted? |
23:45.53 | melodie | adhoc I tried many in vbox yesterday, I even tried my own spins in the machine, but my spins work less well! |
23:46.07 | melodie | even though they have openbox as desktop |
23:46.25 | adhoc | melodie: well with practice comes understanding =) |
23:46.51 | crashoverride | fsmithred: no |
23:46.52 | adhoc | I am on my nine spin up of a flatcar install on a VM so the install to metal will be easier |
23:47.07 | crashoverride | fsmithred: it's a system I'm migrating from syslinux |
23:47.24 | crashoverride | I made screenshots of the problem |
23:47.31 | crashoverride | I'm trying to find a place to push them |
23:47.43 | adhoc | melodie: I know flatcar has nothing to do with devuan, but work has different needs =) |
23:54.27 | melodie | ? |
23:54.55 | adhoc | melodie: the more you work with these systems, the faster you skills with it will grow =) |
23:55.22 | melodie | I still can't learn howto code, I can't find time for that kind of thing |
23:55.38 | adhoc | you can build up your skills. |
23:55.39 | crashoverride | fsmithred: https://pasteboard.co/JUM7RX7.png https://pasteboard.co/JUM8m9E.png https://pasteboard.co/JUM8Bh3.png |
23:55.41 | melodie | so I just remix and tweak with the same refined recipe |
23:55.52 | crashoverride | in the order the screens are in. |
23:55.54 | adhoc | melodie: that is the beginning of it all =) |
23:56.18 | melodie | adhoc yes, almost 12 years now ^^ |
23:56.30 | melodie | from pclinuxos to ubuntu and lately antiX |
23:56.37 | crashoverride | fsmithred: ok apparently the uploads didn't work |
23:56.41 | crashoverride | one sec' |
23:56.49 | melodie | isn't there a remix / snapshot script in Devuan? |
23:57.11 | fsmithred | melodie, yes. refractasnapshot |
23:57.18 | adhoc | melodie: "remix" script ? |
23:57.23 | melodie | fsmithred I'll give it a whirl! |
23:57.28 | fsmithred | refractasnapshot-base and refractasnapshot-gui |
23:57.29 | *** join/#devuan GNUmoon2 (~GNUmoon@gateway/tor-sasl/gnumoon) |
