systemdletehmmm.  this article seems to suggest I should create the file in sites-available and then enable it (a2ensite)00:00
systemdleteI guess that will do.  But if anyone here can advise further, please do.00:01
fsmithredyes, sites-available can be enabled. Aren't they just links?00:01
systemdletethe files in sites-enabled are links to the same in sites-available, yes.00:02
systemdleteI think I will follow the advice in the article00:03
fsmithreda2ensite00:03
fsmithredyes00:03
systemdletefsmithred, ^^^00:03
fsmithredI think you have to make your own conf file for the virtual host.00:05
fsmithredbase it on the default and edit as needed00:05
fluffywolffirst time installing daedalus (instead of upgrading to it).  that ascii art is way way too obviously generated from an image.  I'm drawing art for the next installer.  :P00:10
gnarfacesystemdlete: yes, in apache you symlink from sites-enabled to sites-available, that's the way the docs say to do it00:10
gnarfacedvbst: hmm, that sounds older than what i thought you needed for the nvidia open-source ones...00:11
gnarfacedvbst: i thought you needed something post 400000:11
gnarface(not including the 4000's, but i could be wrong)00:11
gnarfacesystemdlete: (same thing for the modules)00:13
fluffywolfinstaller won't scan for wireless networks, even though it detected the hardware correctly00:15
fluffywolfjust goes instantly to "Attempting to find an available wireless network failed".00:16
rrqmaybe you're using expert mode and skipped the "load components" step?00:17
fluffywolfno, not using expert mode.00:18
gnarfacedvbst: anyway, here's your package list for the regular ones: https://paste.debian.net/1324666/, start with 'nvidia-driver-bin' and then fill in the gaps with the rest - if you want multiarch&wine&steam support, you'll need to also install the :i386 flavors of the ones currently suffixed there with :amd64, otherwise, these should be everything00:18
gnarfacedvbst: (might actually contain more than everything, dregs from a previous release - ignore anything listed here not in the current daedalus repos)00:18
gnarfacedvbst: if you want to try the open ones (and don't say i didn't warn you) then it seems like you would install nvidia-open-kernel-dkms and nvidia-open-kernel-support first, then only install the rest of the things from the list that aren't installed automatically which don't explicitly conflict with those00:19
fluffywolflsmod shows ath9k is loaded00:19
rrqhmm .. (I haven't tested installing wireless since many years ago)00:20
gnarfacedvbst: (note i haven't tried that here though, my last nvidia purchase was a 1060)00:20
fluffywolfI don't seem to have enough utilities available to diagnose wifi issues?00:20
fluffywolfvt4 shows some stuff about wlan0, but nothing that looks like a cause, only symptoms.00:21
rrqthere's iw tools in vt2?00:21
fluffywolfno00:22
gnarfacedvbst: note, you will need the kernel build deps and the linux-headers-* package corresponding to your current linux-image-* package installed first for this to work, and you will need to wait for potentially a long time while it compiles a kernel module with dkms - assuming that actually completes successfully you just add "nomodeset" to your kernel command-line (if you haven't already) then reboot. you might need00:22
gnarfaceto blacklist the nouveau module manually too, but the packages might be smart enough to do that for yo now00:22
gnarfacehopefully i remembered everything, let me know what happens...00:23
fluffywolfI can manually enter a ssid, but it's long and hard to type and I'll have to check this box to get it.  lol.  trying that now...00:23
rrqfluffywolf: daedalus 5.0.1 netinstall ?00:23
fluffywolfyes00:23
dvbstgnarface: the 20, 30 and 40 series cards are supported and will have the open source ones, and nvidia actually stated that they want users to move from the proprietary ones to the open ones. do you want me to link the article?00:24
gnarfacedvbst: no, i saw it too, i just don't trust their judgment, i know they don't give a shit if their users are tricked into beta testing their untested crap00:24
fluffywolfnot connecting even with manually entered ssid.  vt4 is repeating a message of which the relevant part may be wpa_state=INTERFACE_DISABLED00:25
gnarfacedvbst: i leave my computers on here, so i know they don't test stuff in-house as well as i do, or as well as their competitors do00:25
fluffywolf(whole screenfull of those)00:25
gnarfacedvbst: at question also, is whether the version in current debian stable is updated completely to the version inferred by that article (i haven't checked, but you should first, if you want to try them)00:26
rrqhmm the CD has wireless-tools*.deb ... but I'm unsure how to install into the installer00:27
gnarfacedvbst: i actually have an open question about their "open-source" drivers which i assume the answer to is no, but might affect the rest of your install procedure; their new "open source" driver, it doesn't use MESA finally, does it?00:27
gnarfacedvbst: you see, everyone else is using MESA for opengl, whereas nvidia has traditionally had their own proprietary opengl implementation to go along with their proprietary drivers. if they're actually using mesa now that might bode well for the long term (but poorly for the short term)00:29
rrqfurrywolf: you can unpack the wireless-ttols deb using ar, xzcat and tar00:32
fluffywolfI don't even have dpkg...00:33
rrqlong pathname: DEB=/cdrom/pool/DEBIAN/main/w/wireless-tools/wireless-tools_30\~pre9-14_amd64.deb00:34
rrqar p $DEB | xzcat | tar x -f - -C /00:35
rrqno00:35
rrqar p $DEB data.tar.xz | xzcat | tar x -f - -C /00:35
fluffywolfar has dumped it into the current directory00:35
rrqok00:35
* fluffywolf cats it to xzcat and tar00:36
fluffywolfno -f00:36
fluffywolfiwlist shows the essid I entered, not associated.00:37
fluffywolfiwconfig, I mean00:37
fluffywolfiwlist won't scan, says interface is down00:37
fluffywolfnow which package has ifup...  lol00:37
rrqip link set dev wlan0 up00:37
freemapt-file search bin/ifup00:38
* fluffywolf has never used ip, needs to learn00:38
freem% apt-file search bin/ifup00:38
freemifupdown: /sbin/ifup00:38
freemifupdown-ng: /sbin/ifup00:38

freemnetscript-2.4: /sbin/ifup00:38
freemrear: /usr/share/rear/skel/default/bin/ifup00:39
freemapt-file is a really useful tool00:39
fluffywolfoperation not possible due to rf-kill00:39
fluffywolffreem:  please don't do that.00:39
freemyou mean pasting more than 5 lines?00:39
fluffywolfyes00:40
fluffywolfactually, no.  I mean more than 1 lines.  :P00:40
rrqfind /cdrom -name rfkill\*00:40
freemI usually use a pastebin for longer stuff, but it feels ok to me to paste less than 10 :) but I'll remember that even 5 is too much here00:40
fluffywolfthe laptop has a fn combo for wifi; I believe it is on.  at least, the light is on.00:40
fluffywolfthe combo makes things appear in my terminal, so it seems to be expecting software to handle it.00:41
freemIIRC you have 2 modes of rfkill, software and hardware00:41
dvbstgnarface: steam takes care of the i386 stuff for me so i dont need to do anything myself. nvidia says to install nvidia-kernel-source-open first, and the bin ones you mentioned in the link are now obsolete i think. yes i always install the headers, the run file doesnt want to start if its missing those, so i know about it. my bet would be that the header files are a dependency of the nvidia-kernel-source-open, but i dont know. and no, i dont need to wait00:41
dvbstlong for it to complie, its really snappy, the whole thing takes less than 10 minutes. i dont mind being a tester of their stuff, i never had issues with it, and its not like if i do happen to have issues its a big deal, all my important stuff are files, not running processes that would cause damage if they stopped running, so its not really a big deal if my pc falls apart randomly if that doesnt do anything to my files. as far as i know there is only one00:41
dvbstversion of the open drivers now, its still a new thing, it went out like this month i think.00:41
fluffywolfwhy is one package saying /sbin and the other /usr/sbin?  I thought they got merged already?  lol00:43
freembtw, what's the point of the 2 other "ifupdown" packages?00:43
freemifupdown2 written in python is the one which triggers me the most00:43
fluffywolfrfkill has missing deps, won't run.  manually walking dep tree now...00:44
* freem does not uses ifup or ifdown anymore anyway00:45
fluffywolfgrr, that means I have to manually copy libs and attempt to make the linker find them00:45
fluffywolfthis is not easy with busybox.00:45
rrqonly needs libsmartc*00:45
* fluffywolf LD_PRELOADS them00:46
fluffywolfhard blocked: yes00:46
fluffywolfunblock 0 does not change it00:47
gnarfacedvbst: so, one critical thing about steam's bundled :i386 support is that it's broken on Debian fundamentally, and always has been. this is one of the primary things the steam installer from the repo fixes for you that the one from their website doesn't. (and it doesn't do a complete job all the time, sometimes you still have to manually force it to use a host library instead of its bundled one to get something working,00:47
gnarfacebut it depends on the game. they don't all always have problems)00:47
rrqhard blocked means a physical switch00:47
gnarfacedvbst: anyway, i've told you what you needed to know. do what you will with that info, but don't say i didn't warn you. (and i recommend making a backup of the install first, if you can)00:48
fluffywolfit doesn't have a physical switch.  it has a button on the keyboard, and the light is on.  and that buttons sends keycodes, doesn't turn the light off.00:48
dvbstgnarface: and about mesa, i cant find anything, and i dont really know what to look for because i dont know anything about this00:48
gnarfacedvbst: just assume it's no for now. if you do end up needing mesa i'll need to give you a different package list though.00:48
gnarfaceand fyi, to be clear, the kernel build deps and the linux-header-* packages are a direct requirement for dkms, which it seems like nvidia is using for both flavors of their driver. if it passes so fast you don't see it building that just means you have ... a really fast cpu00:51
gnarfacebut the driver install process can derail if there's a compile-time issue during that process, just something to be aware of00:51
fluffywolfok, found a user manual that says the light being on means they're disabled.  lolwtf?  but it also says they default to on.00:51
fluffywolfwant to check bios settings, but that'll mean losing all my unpacking...00:52
dvbstgnarface: tell me step by step how to get steam from the repo the correct way, and then ill do it00:54
fluffywolfnothing in bios setup about wifi config whatsoever00:55
dvbstbut i think i want to do it once the system is set up and working, so not now00:55
dvbstand no i cant really make another backup, i used the last gigabytes of space that i have on my drives, i would need to buy another drive to backup this00:55
gnarfacedvbst: i'm pretty sure the process is just "apt-get install steam-installer"00:56
gnarfacedvbst: you'll want to make sure multi-arch is enabled first00:56
gnarface(dpkg --print-architecture should return "amd64" and dpkg --print-foreign-architectures should return "i386" -- make sure you "apt-get update" once after enabling it)00:58
gnarfacedvbst: and you probably will need all those i386 nvidia packages too00:59
rrqfluffywolf: some laptops have a small "hidden" switch along the edge or somewhere00:59
fluffywolfis it possible this laptop is unusable without a proprietary wifi driver?  hrmm00:59
fluffywolfthe manual only mentions the keyboard button00:59
gnarfacedvbst: (the .run script may have installed them even without multi-arch, i can't imagine how it would have worked before for you otherwise)01:00
fluffywolfthe button just sends a ^[[24~01:00
rrqwith Fn key?01:01
fluffywolfyes01:01
fluffywolfforum posts say to install hp wireless assitant and use it to turn it on01:01
dvbstgnarface: i need a different package list either way because the one you gave was for the old drivers01:01
dvbstand regarding steam, i cant just apt-get install steam-installer because steam is already installed on that system01:02
fluffywolfthere's supposedly a hard reset procedure that clears all the internal bios toggles, trying it01:02
dvbstso i would need apt to forget the steam one and overwrite it with the one from the repo or something like that01:02
dvbstbut still, steam is for later, and so are 2 other things i want to ask you but once my system works01:04
fluffywolfno change01:04
dvbstnow we need to focus on making the computer boot normally and not in single user mode01:05
dvbstso what do we do boss?01:05
rwpfluffywolf, Do you have the rfkill command installed?  Try: rfkill list01:06
rwpThat will say for certain if it is rfkill block and if so soft or hard blocked.01:06
fluffywolfI did that earlier.  it said it was hard blocked.01:07
fluffywolfI no longer have rfkill installed, since I rebooted.01:07
fluffywolfunblock did not unlock it01:07
fluffywolfunblock01:07
rwpHard blocked.  Okay.  It's hard blocked then.  My Thinkpad has a switch which sometimes gets flipped on mine.  Wish I had a switch to disable the disable switch.01:08
fluffywolfno switch, only button01:09
fluffywolfand only windows driver for the button, it sounds like01:09
fluffywolf" The issue of HP wireless being inoperable because of a hard block and therefore the usual wireless key not toggling wireless on and off is long-standing. There are only a few things you can try."01:10
fluffywolf...  cutting the trace on the wifi card, for example01:10
fluffywolflol01:10
gnarfacedvbst: i think you just remove that kernel command-line parameter you had added and replace it with nomodeset. nomodeset may not be strictly necessary in all cases but it's the first thing i'd try adding if problems entering the graphical environment persist. as for a different nvidia package list... that's the only one i've got, and those are from current stable. if you want to try the nvidia-open-* ones, try installing01:11
gnarfacethose first then just see what it complains about, but do keep using the current stable versions unless there's a showstopper breakage compelling you to upgrade01:11
rwpI think I remember that issue on my old HP NC4000 laptop.  Had to boot windows in order to change some things.01:11
gnarfacedvbst: (and in the event of "show stopper breakage" compelling an upgrade, check for the relevant upgrade in daedalus-backports first before resorting to a more... destructive approach)01:12
dvbstman i dont want to install the old stable ones, i already made the move to get all the new shit so lets do that, new devuan version, new nvidia drivers and new way of installing steam, discord and firefox, i want to do it all in one go01:15
rrqfluffywolf: does the live installer turn on wifi?01:15
dvbstso lets go with the backports thing, tell me how to do it01:16
fluffywolfthere may be a kernel module that makes it work01:16
dvbstand with the nomodeset, the graphics cant be causing problems yet because the problems start before the graphics initialize, so tell me other things i should try01:17
gnarfacedvbst: really, this is probably not a helpful impulse, this is probably pure version fetishism and isn't actually getting you more features or performance, just sacrificing stability unnecessarily, and as long as you're using the deb packages, you can always just as easily upgrade to the backports one later01:17
fluffywolfno way to get the kernel config from the installer I take it?01:17
gnarfacedvbst: no, my current theory is still that the problems start exactly at the moment the graphics initialize, and prevent them from doing so, and so far we've seen no evidence to refute that hypothesis01:18
dvbsti think we agreed yesterday that just the tty may be littered on and that the lightdm is fine, but for lightdm to show up i need to get the drivers, so lets do that01:18
gnarfacedvbst: yea, start with the stable ones, please01:18
dvbstok, im on it01:18
dvbstnomodeset at the end of the line that says "linux" at the start in the grub command line, right?01:19
fsmithreddvbst, yes01:20
donglehow can i edit the kernel parameters on sysvinit?01:20
gnarfacedvbst: yes, the thing about nomodeset is it prevents the kernel from using a framebuffer to increase the text-mode resolution which requires graphical hardware, and this has been known to prevent the drivers from successfully enabling the GUI later - not predictably, seems to vary depending on hardware and driver version01:20
fsmithreddongle, do you mean boot parameters or kernel configs?01:20
dongleboot parameters01:20
gnarfacedvbst: i would try it with nomodeset first, then once everything is working, try it without01:20
gnarface(but be ready to put it right back)01:21
donglei want to add splash fsmithred01:21
fsmithredyou can edit on the fly by pressing e at the grub boot menu01:21
donglehow about permanent?01:21
fsmithredfor persistent changes, edit /etc/default/grub01:21
fsmithredand then run update-grub01:21
donglei'mthanks fsmithred01:22
fsmithredmaybe you want to add or do something with plymouth01:22
dongleyes01:22
fsmithredI don't know anything about it01:22
dvbstoh wow, so now we have another wierd thing, time for moremoretext.jpg01:22
fsmithreddongle, there is a devuanized version of plymouth in the repo.01:25
fluffywolfgrrrrrrrrrrrr.  this was supposed to be a quick project.  I don't fucking have time to waste all day trying to do an install on a throwaway laptop!01:26
fluffywolfwhy the fuck won't the installer mount a flash drive that mounts perfectly on this box?01:27
donglefsmithred: i'm using bgrt theme01:27
dvbsthttps://transfer.rrq.au/cImYYNkoE5/waymoretext1.jpg01:27
dvbsthttps://transfer.rrq.au/XqStlcrJp0/waymoretext2.jpg01:28
gnarfacethose links don't wrok01:28
dvbstwhat do you want me to do then01:29
gnarfacesummarize01:29
gnarfaceor, wait, this thing has working network now, doesn't it?01:29
gnarfaceyou should be able to just upload the text somewhere01:30
gnarfaceyou can even just /msg it to me here01:30
dvbsti took pictures of the grub command line01:31
gnarfaceoh01:31
gnarfacewell there can't be that much wrong with it...01:31
gnarfaceit's just one line01:31
gnarfacewhat are you seeing? is the interface scrambled? is there stuff there you didn't put there?01:32
gnarfaceyou should be able to be making these edits from the /etc/default/grub file and running update-grub now, you shouldn't need to be doing this from the boot menu anymore01:33
dvbstso its pretty much the same thing as the working one but it adds 4 entries, each one loads a bunch of stuff like it did before and they all differ with one line, so one entry has the 6.1 kernel with ro and quiet, another one has 6.1 ro single, another one is 5.10 ro quiet, and last one is 5.10 ro single01:33
fluffywolfso the installer can't mount fat32?01:33
dvbstso i guess i just go with the 6.1 but replace quiet with nomodeset?01:34
dvbstthe rest looks fine01:34
fluffywolfwhat is the proper way to add additional kernel modules to the installer?01:34
gnarfacedvbst: yes, it's normal for there to be multiple entries for each kernel, and it's normal for there to be entries for every installed kernel, and it's normal for the kernel you were using from the previous release to still be installed after upgrading01:34
dvbstyea it just was wierd to me that this is inconsistent and it gives different options randomly01:35
gnarfacedvbst: as long as the default is the newest one, everything is working fine01:36
fluffywolffuck, it's fucking after 4:30 in the afternoon.  I've wasted more than half the fucking day trying to make this laptop work.01:36
dvbstbecause this is now the 3rd variant of the grub command line thing, it chooses one of those randomly each time i reboot01:37
gnarfacefluffywolf: you having problems with onboard wifi? i usually just resort to USB01:37
fluffywolfI don't think I have a usb wifi adapter.01:38
gnarfacedvbst: you've probably also upgraded grub every time you reboot, it should stop looking so different pretty soon01:38
fluffywolfwell, I'm sure I do somewhere, a 802.11b one from about 30 years ago, but that was about the last time I saw it, too...01:38
fluffywolfthis project was supposed to be entirely done three hours ago01:39
gnarfacefluffywolf: realtek sells some really cheap like 9$ ones, that are well supported you just need to pick the right one01:39
gnarfacefluffywolf: if you're out of ideas, figure out which chip is in this one, it probably shows up under several brands: https://support.dlink.com/ProductInfo.aspx?m=DWA-12101:40
gnarfaceshould cost $901:40
gnarfaceshould work for everything unless you need 5GHz01:41
gnarface(but does require "firmware-realtek" from non-free)01:41
gnarfacelinux still doesn't have great wifi support, not all the devices in the wild work, even from brands like broadcom and realtek who are known for all their devices working01:42
gnarfacethe success of wifi in linux is greatly exaggerated01:42
fluffywolfgrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!  after figuring out that the installer's mount only works if you use -t, I tried copying the kernel module for hp's crap from this laptop to use on that laptop....  "Invalid module format".  They're both fucking 6.1.0!  the format did not change!01:43
gnarfacefluffywolf: i feel your pain. it's not a fair situation, but probably someone who owns Microsoft stock actually doesn't want this working, and until they change their mind you might not have any other options besides changing devices.01:44
gnarface(similar problems persist with the onboard wifi in my pinebooks)01:45
fluffywolfis the installer built with a kernel incompatible with the kernel in the main repos?01:45
fluffywolfI can only assume so, from the invalid module format.01:46
gnarfacefluffywolf: i don't think so, i assume the problem is that you have a device with a model # matching a supported device that needs a "secret" unofficial version of unshipped non-free firmware to work, and the only place to get that special "secret" firmware version is some completely sketchy anonymous github page01:47
gnarfacefluffywolf: but maybe i didn't read your whole account from the scrollback clearly enough, that's just the problem i've run into lately01:48
fluffywolfgoogling says I need hp-wmi.ko, which is not included on the installer kernel01:48
fluffywolfit is included with the main kernel01:48
gnarfacefluffywolf: if you have some driver supposedly from some 3rd party source, try getting the firmware from that same source, even if the firmware package from devaun01:49
gnarfacefluffywolf: *even if the firmware package from devuan/debian's repos claim to support that model #01:49
fluffywolfthe installer includes wmi.ko, but not hp-wmi.ko...01:49
gnarfacefluffywolf: wait, is this only a problem with the installer you're having? do you even know for sure it would work with the main kernel?01:50
dvbstgnarface: ok so booting the system with nomodeset (just nomodeset, without single or quiet) leads to the same thing as booting the system normally01:52
dvbstwe wanted to check if it also does that on the liveiso alone if its a hardware issue, right? do i do that now?01:52
fsmithreddvbst, you can have something between single user and graphical (black screen in your case) if you just disable lightdm.01:53
gnarfacedvbst: as in, it still fails? nah, try going back to single mode and starting X manually then with startx01:53
gnarfacedvbst: you might have to disable lightdm first01:53
fsmithredupdate-service --remove /etc/sv/lightdm01:54
fsmithredto reverse that later, change --remove to --add01:54
dvbsti cannot disable lightdm because i cant log in at all because the login prompt gets littered with messages and then the screen clears as soon as i stop pressing ctrl+alt+fX01:55
dvbstfor me to start X in any way i need the nvidia drivers installed01:56
dvbsti think01:56
fsmithredI'm not sure I understand about the screen clearing, but I've seen screens spammed with message.01:56
rwpIf it were me I would boot the installer in rescue mode, mount the system in the rescue-image, then go look to see what's in the logs or it.  And also it would be a good test to see the live boot image of the rescue installer work, or get cluttered too.01:56
dvbstim on the other monitor now so i may not, ill try it01:56
fsmithredMy solution in that case is to close my eyes to log in and to type commands. Not kidding.01:57
fluffywolfwhy do I have hp-wmi.ko on 6.1.0-0, but not in the package for 6.1.0-10?01:57
dvbstim trying what rwp said right now01:59
dvbstdevuan_daedalus_5.0.0_amd64_desktop-live.iso is what im trying02:01
fluffywolfwas the module for this button really removed somewhere between 6.1.0-0 and 6.1.0-10?02:02
rrqfluffywolf: is wmi.ko loaded ?02:03
fluffywolfno02:03
fluffywolfbecause it doesn't exist02:03
fluffywolfoh, yes, wmi.ko is02:03
fluffywolfhp_wmi doesn't exist.02:03
fluffywolf(only because I modprobed it earlier, and it did nothing)02:03
rrqyes I see it's not included in that deb ... it's found in later deb's though02:04
fluffywolfand earlier .debs02:04
fluffywolflol02:04
rwpdvbst, That image is a good one, that is the live boot image not the netinst rescue image but it's a good test.02:05
rrqso would it help running a live system?02:05
dvbstok so this boots damn fine and has zero problems whatsoever02:06
rwpThe advantage to the netinst rescue is that it has dialogs to grab you by the nose and to drag you through the process.  With the live desktop image you have to know what to do yourself.02:06
dvbstand it booted xfce02:07
fsmithred:)02:07
rwpYes.  It's the desktop live boot image.02:07
dvbstand the other ttys work damn fine too02:07
rrqfluffywolf: actual kernel version is 6.1.38-102:08
rwpSince you are booted you can poke around a little and then I would determine what partition is the installed image and how it is configured (encrypted, lvm, whatever) and then mount it.02:08
dvbstso the problem is in what the upgrade did02:08
fluffywolfhttps://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/757944/hp-wlan-button-and-led-dontt-work  ok, so it's a known regression02:08
fluffywolfand the installer ships with the ONE FUCKING VERSION where it doesn't work02:08
fluffywolflol02:08
rwpdvbst, Have you ever mounted an installed system before and then chroot'd to it before?02:08
gnarfacerwp: he has, but not with a devuan live iso yet02:09
rrqfluffywolf: maybe install the base system without network, and then you can run some live iso to upgrade that install02:09
rrqif the live handles your wifi02:09
gnarfacedvbst: well, at least that means i don't have to bother doing a version check on the stable drivers, but i'm betting that live iso didn't use the "open source" flavor02:10
fsmithredwhat wifi hardware do you have, fluffywolf?02:10
dvbstrwp i even managed to install gentoo once, but its too much work to use it daily so i reinstalled devuan02:10
rwpgnarface, We will have to talk them through it then.02:10
fsmithredno nvidia driver in the live iso02:10
gnarfacefsmithred: wait, really? it's still using nouveau?02:10
fsmithredyes02:10
gnarfaceoy02:10
fluffywolffsmithred:  I'm setting up a shitty hp laptop to use to stream music at work.  I can't install because no network.  There's no network because the button on the keyboard to toggle wifi on/off doesn't work.  The button doesn't work because the exact kernel shipped with the installer wasn't built with the correct kernel modules, due to a debian bug.02:11
fsmithredwouldn't nvidia driver make it hard for anyone with amd graphics?02:11
fluffywolfthe module from the slightly older 6.1.0 on my laptop won't load, says invalid module format.02:11
fluffywolfit seems the kernel included with the installer can't be made to work on this laptop02:12
gnarfacedvbst: alright, apples-to-oranges comparison, so that's not actually helpful, but regardless, you should still be able to chroot in and disable lightdm now.02:12
fsmithredyes02:12
gnarfacefsmithred: uh, it used to, but i thought they were supposed to be able to coexist now, but it's also something i haven't tried, i had just assumed you must have found a way around it but i'm apparently remembering wrong02:12
fluffywolfthe installer should be repacked with a newer kernel that will actually install on hp laptops, I would say.  lol02:12
gnarfacedvbst: if we can get it just booting fine in text mode, it'll be easier to debug any graphical issues from there02:13
fluffywolfkernel upstream added a new config option that debian didn't catch, which was required for the module to be built, so the module that makes the wifi button work isn't built for the kernel on the installation media.02:15
dvbstok so you want me to mount my drive and chroot into my system to see the logs and disable lightdm in runit?02:15
rrqyes, installer upgrades could happen as soon as someone steps up to do the work.02:15
fsmithredfluffywolf, there are installer isos for excalibur (testing) which might be appropriate for this use.02:15
gnarfacedvbst: yea02:15
fluffywolfurgh, I already used 500MB of data downloading the daedalus iso...02:15
gnarfacedvbst: i'm still operating under the assumption that the issue occurs when it tries to start lightdm02:15
rwpdvbst, While you are booted into a graphical mode, look at the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file for the working live boot.  It might be good to save it off as a working reference copy.02:16
gnarfacedvbst: and i'm double checking that driver version now, to be absolutely sure, you reported it as a RTX 2060? any additional info, like the mobile or "super" version?02:16
dvbstthen please explain to me 2 things, why do i need the devuan iso for that if the other one allows me to do the same job the same way, as i had done already like 10 times (with that arch iso), and why do we need to disable lightdm if stuff falls apart waaaay before it starts? and that stuff that fals apart is the problem, not lightdm?02:16
* fluffywolf gets devuan_excalibur_6.0-202406250951_i386_netinstall.iso02:17
fluffywolfwhoops, wrong arch02:17
* fluffywolf gets devuan_excalibur_6.0-202406250952_amd64_netinstall.iso02:17
gnarfacedvbst: uh, it's not actually clear to me it's falling apart way before the GUI starts. you keep saying that but i'm not clear on why you think that.02:18
fluffywolfwon't be downloaded for a while.02:18
gnarfacedvbst: as for why we needed the devaun iso... we apparently didn't, but it's helpful to see it's working fine so we know the problem isn't fundamental to devuan02:18
fsmithredfluffywolf, other option is to debootstrap which you could do from any iso.02:19
fluffywolfREADME.TXT suggests it's uninstallable?02:19
fluffywolf.txt02:19
fsmithredwhat is uninstallable?02:19
fluffywolfthe iso I'm downloading.02:19
fluffywolfthat doesn't install the base system due to usrmerge02:19
gnarfacedvbst: also, the arch iso was using an older kernel, which should have been fine but not something we could be 100% certain of under the circumstances02:20
dvbstgnarface: no, plain old 2060, not mobile, just the 2060 nothing else02:20
fluffywolfthe readme makes it sound like they're totally broken.02:21
gnarfacedvbst: alright, the stable drivers should be well new enough for that one02:21
dvbstgnarface: okay i get you, so now ill send the Xorg.0.log somewhere somehow and then (i forgot already)02:22
rwpfluffywolf, Can you use one of your Toughbooks to download an older kernel and then side-load it from there to the HP?02:22
fluffywolfby the time I did that, I could just get a usb wifi dongle.02:22
gnarfacedvbst: to be clear, the Xorg.0.log from inside the chroot, so we can see what's failing02:22
dvbstno thats not what rwp said02:23
dvbstread it again02:23
gnarfacedvbst: he wants to see the working one from the live iso too, that's perfectly valid, but i want to see an error02:23
dvbstthe xorg.0.log from the live one02:23
gnarfaceupload both02:23
fsmithrednc termbin.com 9999 < /var/log/Xorg.0.log02:23
rwpUpload both.02:23
fsmithredand then the same for /mnt/log/Xorg.0.log (or wherever you mounted)02:24
fluffywolfusb wifi dongle might be the easiest solution at this point02:24
rwpI like usb dongles for at least a temporary solution.  Good plan.02:24
fsmithredwhich kernel do you need, fluffywolf?02:24
fluffywolfthe excaelibur (heh, sorry, couldn't resist) installer isos sound broken.02:24
dvbstman what do you not get, i cant get the xorg.0.log from the broken system because it doesnt start, because the init falls apart at the stage before it can start02:24
rwpSigh.  Mount it first.02:25
gnarfacedvbst: you might be surprised, check02:25
dvbstok im on it02:25
fluffywolffsmithred:  anything other than the one on the daedalus installer, I think.  lol.  the older 6.1.0 on this box has the right module, and supposedly newer ones have it too.02:25
fsmithredthe live isos might have an older kernel02:25
gnarfacedvbst: i think you might be under the mistaken assumption that the GUI can't fail before actually presenting you with a GUI02:25
fsmithredI'll check02:25
fluffywolfanything from like 2.6 to 6.3, excluding 6.1.0-10, or something.02:25
dvbstwhy isnt mc installed by default on the devuan live iso02:26
gnarfacedvbst: you frankly might be right that the problem has nothing to do with the GUI, we don't actually know for sure, but at this point all the hints point in that direction and with NVidia hardware it's the most likely culprit02:26
fluffywolfopinions on $8 ebay laptop packs straight from china?02:27
gnarfacedvbst: in the chroot, look in /var/log/ and ~/.local/share/xorg/ for any files matching "Xorg.*.log*" and if there are, it at least tried to start a GUI at some point02:29
fluffywolfbbl, I've wasted too much time on this today.  I can't spend any more on it.02:30
fluffywolfthis was supposed to be a 30 minute project while I took a lunch break, and that was six hours ago.02:30
rwpI know you have learned that everything about a machine takes longer than it should.02:31
fsmithredvmlinuz-6.1.0-10-amd6402:31
gnarfacedvbst: and check the datestamps on those files02:31
fsmithred^^^ fluffywolf02:31
rwpfluffywolf, I think you could download the smaller netinstall from chimaera too and then boot it rescue mode and chroot in and then use it to install the older Debian kernel.02:32
fluffywolfsame as the intaller02:32
fluffywolfor install chimaera, upgrade with just the base system, the install everything else...02:32
fluffywolfbut, I no longer have time to work on it.02:32
fluffywolfI shouldn't have spent this long.02:33
fluffywolfbbl02:33
rwpGood luck!02:33
fsmithredrefracta iso has -1102:33
dvbsti have to update to install mc02:47
XenguyWait until midnight02:47
dvbstthat thing has been going on since i said that mc isnt installed by default02:48
dvbstits still going02:48
dvbstbut i noticed that it pulled a new firefox02:48
dvbstand its still 11502:48
dvbsthow02:48
gnarfacehopefully you can fit all those updates into system ram...02:48
dvbstits the new repos on daedalus02:48
dvbstyea its chill, i have 32gb02:48
fluffywolfyou might be able to open a half dozen tabs in firefox with that!02:49
dvbstyea i usually have like 4 windows with +100 tabs in them on that computer02:52
dvbstit still uses just 7gb of ram02:52
fluffywolffor how long?  :P02:54
dvbstall the time03:01
fluffywolfusually firefox leaks and needs restarting every couple weeks03:04
dvbstgnarface rwp fsmithred so i did apt-get update, apt-get upgrade apt install mc on the live iso, it spited out some bullshit but i ignored it because its a live iso, but when it was done i start up mc and its all fucked03:06
* temp64 zzz...03:07
gnarfacedvbst: okay but, is mc really necessary for this task?03:07
dvbstit isnt, but its as natural to me as using the keyboard at this point03:08
gnarfacedvbst: updating the live iso in this fashion isn't really advised, because it's strongly likely that you're going to update something that needs a reboot to take effect... which wipes all the changes you just downloaded03:08
dvbstso id rather have it03:08
gnarfacedvbst: how about this, just use the live iso to chroot in and disable lightdm and see if you can boot regularly to a text console and log in, without the live iso, then from there we can much more easily and accurately decide upon and execute the next steps03:09
dvbstok so look03:09
gnarface(those steps could even include installing mc)03:09
dvbstyou wanted me to get that file backed up03:10
gnarfacethe Xorg log, yea03:10
gnarfacedid you find one?03:10
gnarfacedo you need help finding one without mc03:10
gnarface?03:10
dvbstthe way i would do it is to get in mc from that machine and send it to my ftp server03:10
gnarfaceactaully literally ftp protocol?03:11
dvbstno i already have it, i just need to back it up03:11
dvbstyes the ftp protocol03:11
gnarfacecan you open a shell on the ftp server with ssh?03:11
gnarfaceor even locally physically?03:11
gnarfacei can tell you a number of ways to get it over there from the console03:12
dvbsti just want to upload the xorg log to the ftp03:12
gnarfaceok, there's a console ftp program, that's probably already installed, it just wouldn't be my first choice... scp or netcat would be easier if you have any shell access to the ftp server03:13
dvbsti have no idea how to use anything other than mc for doing that03:13
gnarfacei get that03:13
gnarfacebut i'm super good at this03:14
gnarfacei can tell you03:14
dvbstok go ahead03:14
gnarfacetype "ftp" then hit enter03:14
dvbstokay03:14
gnarfacedoes the prompt change to "ftp>" ?03:14
dvbstyup03:15
gnarfacenow type "o [url]" where [url] is the hostname of your ftp server03:15
dvbstjust hostname?03:15
dvbstor the username@hostname like in mc03:15
gnarfaceit should then prompt you for the user and pass, to be honest i can't be sure03:16
gnarfaceeither might work03:16
gnarfacethis might be the same actual ftp program you've used and mc is just acting as a frontend for it, i don't know03:16
gnarfacebut it's also not hard to figure out03:16
gnarfacein another terminal, you can open the instruction page for it with "man ftp"03:17
gnarfacei infer this might actually be one of several different ftp programs, but they shouldn't be very different03:17
* Xenguy whispers 'lftp' ...03:18
gnarfaceyou can probably do it all from a single command without even the first step of opening a prompt with the "ftp" program, if you read that man page03:18
onefangMost of the commands are actually commands to the FTP server.03:18
dvbstwelp nvm, the server is offline03:18
XenguyDon't listen to me, I just really love lftp03:18
gnarfaceyea, that's an important key note; what ftp server you're actually running has a wildly large amount of influence on what the interface actually is, it's like irc in that fashion03:19
onefangI'm with the mc brigade, first thing I install if I can.03:19
XenguyI'm a ranger guy now, if that's ontopic03:19
gnarfacedvbst: you're booted into the live iso right now? can you get into this irc channel from it?03:20
dvbstand when using ftp with mc, you dont really use commands, it just another window that pops up and you can move, copy, delete files/directories on it like its on my computer03:20
gnarfacedvbst: for that matter, can you get to paste.debian.net with a browser?03:21
gnarfaceif you can get a regular net connection to the live iso, you can just use paste.debian.net and that'll be much easier03:21
gnarfacewe don't need a backup for posterity, we just need to skim it03:22
gnarfacedvbst: and just one other thing to double check to be sure, you don't have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file currently (in the chroot, not the live iso, i mean) do you?03:23
dvbstwait i cant be doing 4 things at the same time03:24
dvbstif i need to use the browser then i need to get a mouse and all that03:25
dvbstwait03:25
gnarfacetechnically no, but a mouse will make it much easiser03:25
gnarface(enough easier to be worth unplugging a mouse and walking it across the room)03:25
fluffywolfexcaelibur iso won't usb boot.  not off to a good start, that...03:26
fluffywolfhave to manually select it in the boot device selection options, while daedalus would always boot by default03:27
gnarfacehmm, odd03:28
gnarfacecan't be many reasons for that03:28
fluffywolfwifi button still doesn't work, doesn't look like the module is included with the installer kernel...03:29
gnarfacefluffywolf: did you try the live iso?03:29
gnarfacesorry if that was already mentioned03:30
* fluffywolf unpacks the one in /cdrom03:30
gnarfacebut if the point was just to get a install, live-iso -> debootstrap -> chroot -> grub-install usually works03:31
fluffywolfsomeone found the live iso had the same bad kernel build03:31
rrqfluffywolf: install the daedalus base system without network. Then you can work with that.03:31
fluffywolfhard to work without network...03:32
rrqit's quite easy to install the base system without network03:33
rrqit comes on the iso03:33
rrqon every installer iso03:33
fluffywolfthere's something wrong with the terminal on excaelibur.  it's probably a kernel issue, not a devuan issue, unless it's something with udev or something.03:33
gnarfaceyea, the netinstall can be completed without a network, you just skip the step that downloads packages03:33
rrqyou don't need a network for that03:33
fluffywolfscrolling is SLOW.  like, 2 lines per second.  it was normal with daedalus.03:33
fluffywolfit feels like a serial terminal.03:34
dvbstpaste.debian.net03:34
gnarfacedvbst: uh, you copied it wrong03:34
dvbstno no no im just writing it again for myself, forget it03:34
gnarfaceoh03:34
gnarfacebrb03:35
dvbstoh yea and i need to get to the irc on that thing too03:35
dvbstoh my god03:35
dvbstcan someone just copy paste the details of this03:35
dvbstso i can retype them there03:35
dvbstthank god my ethernet cable is 5 meters for some reason so i can just unplug the power plug and take the laptop with me there03:36
fsmithreddvbst, you want the xorg log from the booted live iso, right?03:36
fsmithrednc termbin.com 9999 < /var/log/Xorg.0.log03:37
fsmithredyou'll have to remember four-letter url03:37
dvbstwhatever, i got it03:37
dvbstwhat is the default irc client on the live iso?03:40
fsmithredirssi03:41
fsmithredor hexchat03:41
fluffywolfmeh.  got hp_wmi loaded, button still no worky03:41
fluffywolfcould be this laptop is not linux compatible.03:41
fluffywolfnone of the other special buttons (brightness, etc) have started working either03:42
dvbstfsmithred no irssi nor hexchat03:42
fsmithreduh, I guess it's firefox.03:44
dvbstpaste.debian.net03:45
fluffywolfbut now rfkill says it's unblocked, even though the light still says it's disabled03:45
dvbstfromthelivehttp://paste.debian.net/1324688/03:46
fluffywolfthere needs to be a mini-dpkg on the installer cd that just unpacks debs recursively into /...03:46
dvbstfromtheliveok is that it? can i boot my arch iso now please?03:46
fluffywolfdoes excaelibur installer not include any non-free firmware?03:47
fluffywolfyay, wifi works on excaelibur, after manually unpacking hp_wmi03:47
fluffywolfnow, will it actually install and work?  lol03:48
fluffywolfI don't know what's with scrolling...  I think it's not actually scrolling itself, but a characters/second limitation.  short lines scroll faster.03:51
fluffywolfautomatic partitioning created a 1GB swap.  that's silly on a box with 4GB ram.  among other things, it means hibernate won't work.  dunno who should fix that, but that's a bug.03:53
fsmithredautomatic partitioning is stupid03:57
fluffywolfyeah, I just wanted to see what it would do.  it did stupid.  :P03:57
fluffywolfon a 240GB drive, on a box with 4GB ram, it should not make a 1GB swap partition.03:57
fluffywolfbase system won't install.  usrmerge errors.03:58
fsmithredoh, you have to do expert install and select merged usr03:58
fluffywolfurgh...  that will mean manually loading hp_wmi again!04:00
fluffywolfstill won't boot off the usb drive automatically, even with no bootable os on the hard drive.  definitely something different with this iso.04:01
fluffywolfit seems to detect it as a usb hard drive, while it was a usb cdrom before?04:02
fluffywolfor something04:02
fsmithredI can offer you two or three isos that have newer kernels.04:06
fsmithredrefracta isos have 6.1.0-11 and I made a devuan desktop-live in March that has 6.1.0-18 here: http://distro.ibiblio.org/refracta/files/experimental/devuan_daedalus_5.0-memtesttest-2024-03-29_amd64_desktop-live.iso04:07
fluffywolfI've already used too much bandwidth.04:08
fsmithredI don't know if the refracta isos have the wireless firmware you need04:08
fluffywolfif it can't install without merged usr, it should be the default...04:10
fluffywolfwifi just worked this time around, without loading the module, after I loaded the module last time.04:11
fluffywolfdaedalus might well work now too.  lol04:11
fluffywolfthe wifi light is white instead of orange now04:12
Xenguyrawr04:12
fluffywolfno security repo, but that's to be expected04:17
fluffywolfgrrr, has to download 135MB of upgrades just to the base system...  that means I can't use my internet for an hour.04:20
fluffywolf(other than IRC)04:20
fluffywolfwell, 40 minutes.04:20
fluffywolfaaand up to 1 hour, 8 minutes...04:21
fluffywolfbleh04:21
fluffywolfyay, finished early04:34
fluffywolfselect init systemd doesn't let me select systemd?  :P04:34
fluffywolfwell, I rebooted into the base system, so it looks like excalibur is installable.  I didn't tasksel anything...  somehow it still used a full GB of disk.04:42
fluffywolfI need to remember how to disable ipv6 before actually using it.04:44
fluffywolf(crashes my hotspot if you open more than a couple ipv6 connctions)04:44
fsmithredmaybe in /etc/sysctl.conf04:45
fsmithredmaybe not04:47
fluffywolfI'll need to install X and a usable system later, if I have the bandwidth.  I assume once it's installed, it should be relatively functional.04:47
fluffywolfthe only real issue I ran into during installation was it defaulting to non-merged and then not working.04:47
fluffywolf(issue not caused by hp)04:47
fluffywolfalso, no firmware for the ethernet adapter.04:48
fluffywolfand no firmware for the radeon, too.04:48
fluffywolfbrb04:48
gnarfacedvbst: that was the latest one from inside the chroot, right? because it says it's still using nouveau...05:02
gnarfacetry blacklisting the nouveau module05:02
dvbstgnarface: that was from the live iso05:24
gnarfacedvbst: oh, we need to see both still05:25
dvbstokay, im on it05:25
dvbstcan i please use my arch iso for that or do i have to use the devuan05:26
gnarfacei don't think it matters05:26
dvbstepic05:26
dvbstyea okay we do have something05:34
gnarfacepaste.debian.net05:35
dvbst_ok so the situation currently looks like this:05:55
dvbst_on the arch liveiso i have my system drive mounted, and i have set up sshfs05:56
dvbst_on this computer that i am right now, i have access to the files on both the liveiso and my system, since its mounted there05:57
dvbst_ill now send the files05:57
dvbst_https://paste.debian.net/1324694/05:59
dvbst_https://paste.debian.net/1324695/05:59
dvbst_anything else?06:02
fluffywolffirst non-installer bug:  even though I selected pacific time during installation, my system time is in UTC, with /etc/timezone saying Etc/UTC06:16
fluffywolfwell, that's probably still an installer bug.06:16
fluffywolfbut first one I noticed after rebooting.  lol06:16
* fluffywolf does a dpkg-reconfigure tzdata06:24
gnarfacedvbst_: these both look like they're from the devuan install though... and they both say the module failed to load, and no video card was detected, and no screens were found, and it's reporting version 550, not the one you were supposed to have installed (538 or something?)06:28
gnarfacedvbst_: so far this supports my hypothesis that the root cause with the upgrade failure was that .run script06:28
fluffywolfbbl, wolfy bedtime06:29
gnarfacedvbst_: ... actually seeing the Xorg log from your arch live iso wouldn't be a bad idea though mind you, but a working example is purely academic at this point06:29
gnarfacedvbst_: do you have a custom /etc/X11/xorg.conf file for your arch live iso, by the way?06:30
dvbst_its a pure console06:33
dvbst_no xorg there06:33
gnarfaceno X install? then that doesn't help06:33
gnarfacehowever, the driver version should be 535.183.something06:33
dvbst_do i run around the fs and remove the mess that the runscript made?06:34
gnarfaceif that was the log from the chroot, clearly some leftover stuff from the .run script is still there06:34
dvbst_the kernel should be fine cuz apt pulled a new one and i didnt install the drivers on that yet06:34
gnarfaceyes, it might be simple to fix but i don't know off the top of my head how06:35
gnarface(other than just re-installing)06:35
gnarfacethe run script might be able to self-remove enough stuff that force-reinstalling some of the nvidia packages might do the trick06:35
gnarfacei couldn't be sure though06:35
gnarfaceuse your own judgment06:36
dvbst_does the init start it? does xorg start it? i think xorg starts it because in the run wizzard nvidia asks if you want to back up some xorg configuration because it updates it06:36
gnarfacethese logs don't tell me what started it, presumably the lightdm runit file started this, but that's an assumption just based on what you've told us06:37
gnarfacei assume the nvidia wizard is talking about different xorg configs06:38
dvbst_yes06:38
gnarfaceprobably not the one at /etc/X11/xorg.conf, please do check that you don't have one of those in the chroot though06:38
gnarfacewe're expecting that it's actually relying entirely on auto-detection and not a static config06:38
dvbst_do you want me to send it?06:38
gnarfacethere is one?06:38
dvbst_ill chec06:38
dvbst_yes there is06:39
dvbst_and xorg.conf.backup as well06:39
dvbst_and xorg.conf.nvidia-xconfig-original06:39
gnarfaceok, well it's important that it's correct then, but from what we just saw in those log files, an error in there probably isn't the issue06:40
gnarfacei don't think an error in there could cause a version mismatch06:40
dvbst_do you want to see those?06:40
gnarfacesure, but like i said i doubt it's the issue. that file is supposed to be optional these days though, and often is, so if you want you can move it out of the way to try testing auto-detect06:41
gnarfacejust move it out of the way, back it up somewhere, and reboot to see if the daedalus install comes up normal06:42
gnarfacebut the original reason i wanted you to check, was that there was some possibility auto-detect was failing... if it was using that config before for chimaera, i doubt it's broken06:42
dvbst_https://paste.debian.net/1324697/06:42
gnarfaceyea, looks completely normal, directly loads the nvidia driver06:43
gnarfacethis is probably not the problem06:43
dvbst_so what now?06:43
gnarfacewell, i'm certain now the problem is you've got partial bits of the 550.xx driver you installed with the nvidia .run script left over in there, and they're causing the driver to fail ungracefully06:44
gnarfaceseriously at this point i'd recommend a reinstall... kinda "nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure" you know?06:44
gnarfacebut if you think you've got a easier way to fix this, there's not really anything to lose by trying at this point06:45
gnarfacemaybe that .run script can fix it06:45
gnarfacebut then you're just gonna be painted into the same corner next time06:46
dvbst_i see06:46
gnarfaceactually maybe you won't be, if it has something like a --uninstall that actually works, but who knows if it would at this point even if it would have before the upgrade...06:47
gnarfaceif it does, then in theory you should just be able to tell it to self-uninstall, then force-reinstall all the nvidia packages and reboot and it should be working finally06:47
gnarfaceif the .run script can even successfully make Xorg work again for you even if it forces you to use 550.xx, at this point i wouldn't blame you for trying that either06:48
gnarfacejust know that it's gonna come up again on the next release06:49
dvbst_i feel you06:50
gnarfacethis is a problem nvidia created themselves, and they don't care about fixing it06:50
gnarfacethe nvidia driver packages in the repo though, mostly avoid this problem (mostly)06:50
gnarfaceyou just gotta settle for not having the latest driver version all the time06:51
gnarfacebut that's usually really less of a problem than you'll think06:51
dvbst_no i dont think its a problem at all, i think i already told you, tell me how to get rid of the .run one and how to set up the one from the repo and thats what ill be using06:53

cc0a3hrhello guys. Thinking installing devuan for laptop. Is it literally debian without systemd right? Do you think I would have problems such as can't find software etc18:04
cc0a3hrbecause debian without systemd seems brilliant18:04
Xenguycc0a3hr, Yes, Devuan is Debian without systemd...18:06
buZzcc0a3hr: maybe 99.99999% of debian packages are on devuan (it even just pulls em straight from debian through our repo)18:06
amarsh04cc0a3hr yes, Devuan is Debian without systemd - some packages have Devuan-specific versions, the restart are mirrored from Debian in real-time18:06
XenguyThere is a list somewhere of packages that have been 'banned' due to dependence on systemd18:06
amarsh04the rest are mirrored18:06
buZzdevuan also modified a bunch of packages. but not very much18:07
buZz(to remove systemd dependancies, or add init.d scripts etc)18:07
golinuxhttp://deb.devuan.org/bannedpackages.txt18:07
cc0a3hrI seen on artix, it has init system versions of systemd service needed programs for example "name-openrc" so you can use services just like systemd. is it also happens on devuan i wonder18:08
amarsh04which is referenced from https://www.devuan.org/os/explore18:08
AlexLikeRockhi golinux  o/18:09
golinuxHi AlexLikeRock !18:09
amarsh04I migrated two pc's running Debian to Devuan without having to do a re-intallation (one is still running from an installation from June 2004, with migration to new hardware and software upgrades but no re-installation)18:10
systemdleteis there any supported graphical firewall configuration tool besides gufw, which has limited capabilities?  firewalld seems to be a bit out of date (oldstable?)19:40
systemdleteand, yes, I know I can use ufw or iptables on the command line.  I am asking about graphical UI tools19:41
systemdlete(preferably not too complicated)19:41
systemdletefirewalld also might be somewhat RH-centric?19:42
donglei installed devuan openrc and pipewire wireplumber but i dont get sound on firefox. i noticed i could not start pipewire as a service. can someone help me troubleshoot?19:55
dongleim using sway window manager. do i have to start pipewire from sway?19:57
donglenevermind. got it20:07
brocashelmsystemdlete: probably portmaster? https://safing.io21:10
brocashelmit's not packaged for debian, but there exists official deb files21:11
systemdletebrocashelm, thanks!  I'll take a look21:14
systemdletefreemium21:16
brocashelmhow about fwbuilder then?21:30
systemdletewell, brocashelm, I'm not 100% against using freemium (think: I use vbox, don't I?  LOL)21:45
systemdletevbox is not freemium, but it is not precisely open source21:45
systemdletefwbuilder?21:45
systemdleteok21:46
systemdleteI only have 2 requirements.  It is under current support and doesn't interact with our arch nemesis21:46
systemdleteif fwbuilder checks those boxes, I am open to it21:46
fsmithredarno-iptables-firewall is pretty simple with debconf interface.21:47
systemdletethere are several with a TUI, but I would prefer a GUI.21:48
systemdlete(I think vuurmuur might be one)21:48
brocashelmsystemdlete: up to you. i just use what works for me. this whole "free/libre software" stopped being about freedom with things like systemd and freedesktop being shoved in everyone's faces21:57
AlexLikeRock timedatectl list-timezones21:58
AlexLikeRockwhat remplace  "timedatectl" ?21:58
brocashelmhave you tried ntp?21:58
AlexLikeRockyes. i have21:59
AlexLikeRock but the time are grong21:59
brocashelmi use "dpkg-reconfigure tzdata" to set the right time zone21:59
AlexLikeRockthanks21:59
brocashelmyw22:00
AlexLikeRockbash: dpkg-reconfigure: command not found22:00
AlexLikeRockO.O22:00
fsmithredare you root?22:00
AlexLikeRockyes...22:01
fsmithreduse 'su -' instead of 'su'22:01
AlexLikeRockok22:01
AlexLikeRockYESSS!22:01
AlexLikeRockdpkg-reconfigure tzdata22:04
AlexLikeRockCurrent default time zone: 'Etc/GMT-7'22:04
AlexLikeRockLocal time is now:      Tue Jul 30 03:02:18 +07 2024.22:04
AlexLikeRockmy zone are  -722:04
AlexLikeRockthey change time to 3:0222:04
AlexLikeRock but at my celphone are 1:0222:04
brocashelmtry using ntpdate next22:05
brocashelmexample: ntpdate -s ntp.ubuntu.com22:05
brocashelmthat should sync with an ntp server22:05
AlexLikeRockwell.22:10
AlexLikeRock i use other city neighbor22:11
AlexLikeRock"America/Ensenada'22:11
AlexLikeRockthanks22:11
fsmithreddid ntpdate work?22:11
AlexLikeRockits not intaled22:12
brocashelminstall it22:12
AlexLikeRock dpkg-reconfigure tzdata  toher city22:12
AlexLikeRock maybe the problem its "summer saving time"22:13
cc0a3hrif i refuse to install non-free firmwares, will it cause problems? im planning to install on thinkpad t43022:13
AlexLikeRockhi o/ cc0a3hr  i have thinkpad  too22:13
cc0a3hro/22:13
brocashelmlikely lose wifi access if you don't install from non-free-firmware22:13
brocashelmbut other than that, you should be ok22:13
AlexLikeRockmost of chips of IBM LENOVO work fine withou   privative-firmware22:14
AlexLikeRockwhitout *22:14
cc0a3hrperfect.22:14
fsmithredAlexLikeRock, ntpdate will know what to do with summer time changes22:16
AlexLikeRockcc0a3hr,  take a look your hardware   https://h-node.org22:16
cc0a3hrAlexLikeRock: site not loading22:19
AlexLikeRockdam!22:19
AlexLikeRockme too22:19
AlexLikeRock its down 122:20
AlexLikeRock its down !22:20
cc0a3hri blame the russians for this22:20
gnarfacefluffywolf: might have spilled through from another program you installed. not that it should be happening ever, i agree, but once a similar thing happened to me in ceres when i used the built-in menu option in blender to browse (browse mind you, not even actually install or use!) the community resources library. the next time i launched firefox i got... i forget, some full-screen obviously-integrated-feature ad for22:20
gnarfacesomething clearly related to non-free blender primitives22:21
gnarfacefluffywolf: the two obvious takeaways were that 1) some sort of colluding was happening directly between the firefox and blender developers to make this happen; the ad was launched using a built-in firefox feature with no intermediary websites or ad networks involved22:22
gnarfacefluffywolf: and 2) debian policy was definitely being violated, as these were both programs from main, not non-free22:22
gnarfacei never followed up to see if it happens in stable too after that, but i fear what i might discover would undermine all the trust left in debian22:23
gnarface(and mozilla, if there is any)22:23
cc0a3hrif you really care about it, you should care about totally free kernel too, linux-libre22:25
cc0a3hrwhat do you think22:25
AlexLikeRockyes !22:25
AlexLikeRockLinux-libre22:25
AlexLikeRockthe blue pinguin22:25
cc0a3hrhaha yes22:25
AlexLikeRockcc0a3hr,  https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=3a7df4ea1722:27
cc0a3hrso we can say, it works22:28
AlexLikeRockapt install cpu-x22:29
brocashelmthere's a devuan respin you could try that is all libre: gnuinos22:32
brocashelmit also uses its own amprolla repo url so that it's harder to get proprietary software accidentally installed22:33
AlexLikeRockyes :   gnu-Linux  = GNUinos22:45
AlexLikeRockGNUSENSE22:45
AlexLikeRocktrinsquel  =       https://trisquel.info/22:46
AlexLikeRockan OS 100% freedom22:46
cc0a3hrfree but i wonder if it causes problems22:48
AlexLikeRockcoool!  :   https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=547a248361  devuan working at  iMAC22:56
AlexLikeRockhttps://www.gnu.org/ its down ?23:03
AlexLikeRockwhats happen with DNS ???   many problems of conetion23:03
gnarfacelooks like it's down23:06
gnarfacei don't think it's the DNS either23:06
paculinoGnuinos also changes a little bit besides just the libre-only https://debdistutils.gitlab.io/debdistdiff/gnuinos-vs-devuan/23:06
paculinoI'm not sure why, but that and the time to switch over are why I keep procrastinating on it23:06
gnarfacelet's take that conversation to #devuan-offtopic23:06
AlexLikeRockok, gnarface23:07
AlexLikeRockBut I find it strange that several pages that talk about free software and sharing music are slowly falling.23:07
paculinognu went down a few weeks ago too23:09
systemdletebrocashelm, fwbuilder seems to be in devt, but the last release is from... 6 years ago?23:23
systemdleteThen again, gufw is not exactly shiny new either.23:23
Guest10Hello, I was wondering if Devuan is a valuable distro nowadays.23:49
djphyes.23:50
Guest10Okay ima gonna install it then, thanks !23:52
