| amarsh04 | back after nearly 2 weeks away from the pc, mainly running unstable, still not game to try KDE/Plasma 6.x | 01:29 |

| dgriffi | how do I get the libocct packages from the daedalus-backports? | 04:59 |
| dgriffi | doing something like apt-get -t daedalus-backports libocct-draw-dev doesn't work. | 04:59 |
| gnarface | dgriffi: it has to be in your sources.list too | 05:32 |
| dgriffi | gnarface: I did that | 05:32 |
| gnarface | did you remember to run "apt-get update" once first? | 05:33 |
| dgriffi | that too | 05:33 |
| gnarface | alright, show me your sources.list and i'll proofread it for you. put it up at paste.debian.net and paste the link here or just /msg it to me | 05:33 |
| gnarface | (anti-flooding bot will not like you pasting it directly in channel) | 05:33 |
| dgriffi | https://dpaste.com/E7LCEYNQ6 | 05:34 |
| dgriffi | I love the pastebinit program | 05:34 |
| gnarface | paste.debian.net please, humor me | 05:34 |
| gnarface | oh, nevermind | 05:35 |
| gnarface | it's not in daedalus-backports | 05:35 |
| gnarface | no need to show me the sources.list | 05:35 |
| gnarface | https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/policy-query.html?c=package&q=%5Elibocct-draw-dev%24&x=submit | 05:35 |
| gnarface | here, you can check packages on pkginfo.devuan.org | 05:35 |
| gnarface | maybe this link will be more useful for locating the one you want: https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/policy-query.html?c=package&q=%5Elibocct%5C-draw%5C-&x=submit | 05:37 |
| dgriffi | ah... so how can I get newer libocct packages into a daedalus machine? the 7.6.x series is causing problems with FreeCAD | 05:37 |
| gnarface | you could try fetching the source package of a newer one from excalibur or ceres and then build it against daedalus dependency versions | 05:38 |
| gnarface | that would be the right way to do it, anyway | 05:38 |
| dgriffi | I was afraid of that... | 05:39 |
| gnarface | sometimes you run into intractable version difference problems though | 05:39 |
| dgriffi | and that's why | 05:39 |
| gnarface | well, it might work fine too. hard to guess for me with this, as i've never heard of it | 05:39 |
| dgriffi | I might just upgrade the whole machine to excalibur | 05:39 |
| gnarface | eh, i would recommend against that | 05:39 |
| dgriffi | is it that bad? | 05:39 |
| gnarface | well then you get all the instability problems that come along with testing/unstable releases | 05:40 |
| gnarface | a better solution would be to just run excalibur in a VM or a chroot | 05:40 |
| dgriffi | I tried to build libocct by hand, but I'm running into a complaint of a missing tool that I can't work out. | 05:40 |
| gnarface | yea, just debootstrap excalibur into a chroot and try it in there, that's what i'd try | 05:40 |
| Xenguy | .oO( The joys of the bleeding edge ... ) | 05:41 |
| gnarface | or run it in qemu | 05:41 |
| dgriffi | I'm severely deficient in spare drive space | 05:42 |
| Xenguy | .oO( ncdu is your friend ... ) | 05:51 |
| gnarface | dgriffi: well, i assume that means you don't have space to make a backup first either, but i still recommend against actually just installing the newer release's package directly, because the risk is that it might subtly damage your package dependency tree in a way that causes a later update to hose your install | 06:00 |
| gnarface | (to be clear, it could outright hose your install immediately too, but IMO the subtle type of creeping delayed damage is worse from a logistical harm standpoint) | 06:02 |
| gnarface | crucial.com usually has good deals on SSDs, for whatever that's worth | 06:03 |
| gnarface | or maybe you could find a way to borrow or rent some network storage somewhere? | 06:04 |
| gnarface | or just repurpose an old USB flash drive or something... | 06:04 |
| gnarface | sorry, those are the only options i know of | 06:05 |
| AlexLikeRock | hi guys | 15:27 |
| n4dir | if anyone uses zynaddsubfx with ardour: i got an instance of zyn in the list of vst's and other plugins, but it doesn't have an interface | 19:07 |
| n4dir | devuan old-stable | 19:07 |
