Nuc1eoNgreetings, I am instlaling Devuan on my server for the first time :)02:01
Nuc1eoNWhile instlalling I can chooose what to install additionally02:02
Nuc1eoNthere is "web server" and "Console Productivity"02:02
Nuc1eoNwhat exactly does this mean?02:02
Nuc1eoNWhich packages would be installed? Is web server meant in general for servers or only if I want to use apache etc?02:03
djphwebserver would be... well, 'web server' applications02:03
Nuc1eoNIs this documented somehwere? I cannot find it.02:03
djphI wanna say it's documented *somewhere* in the morass that is "Installing Debian" (since devuan basically follows that with zero changes)02:04
djphI would imagine "console productivity" is a full install of vim and other tools that aren't necessarily part of debian base02:05
djphhttps://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=2271 <-oh neat :)02:06
djphwell, probably a bit outdated now, but02:06
Nuc1eoNdjph o I see the 'web server' entry is indeed part of the standard debian install02:07
Nuc1eoNhowever "console productivity" is devuan specific :)02:07
gnarfaceNuc1eoN: they correspond to the meta-packages with "task-" as the starting name prefix02:07
Nuc1eoNI am hesitant to install it because it install games as well??02:07
gnarfaceyou don't have to pick any of them, there's nothing they do that can't be installed afterwards02:07
gnarfaceit is not required to check any boxes on that page02:08
djph^02:08
Nuc1eoNgot it :D02:08
gnarfacethough personally i'd recommend you keep "standard system utilities" because you'd almost certainly install them all over time anyway02:08
Nuc1eoNhttps://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/package-query.html?c=package&q=task-console-productivity=3.77devuan102:10
Nuc1eoNlooks like a cool package02:10
Nuc1eoNI just dont get why it installs games lol02:10
Nuc1eoNthat's a bit much :302:11
Nuc1eoNI installed devua with openrc, but the only rc-* command available is rc-status?? rc-update or rc-service is not available02:28
Nuc1eoNhmm am I missing somehing?02:28
fsmithredyeah, probably missing a minus sign02:33
fsmithredsu -02:33
fsmithrednot su02:33
Nuc1eoNfsmithred, indeed! ty02:34
Nuc1eoNon gentoo rc-update is available for non-root users as well02:35
fsmithredin debian/devuan openrc just uses sysvinit scripts unless you do something to change that02:36
fsmithredI'll be in the kitchen.02:37
rrqdebian defaults to non-root PATH different from root PATH02:37
rrq(that's not me saying it's a good thing)02:37
Nuc1eoNfsmithred wait really? I selected openrc in the install section. So openrc is just used to manage the services?02:39
Nuc1eoNrrq, ok got it. I am actually an arch user and have been using funtoo for a few years. Thats all I know02:40
Nuc1eoNnon-root PATH different from root PATH is new to me in this fasion02:40
Nuc1eoN*fashion02:40
Nuc1eoNJust that I needed smth for my server. But did not want the systemd.02:41
Nuc1eoNI hope devuan will turn out to be a good choice. (I hated CentOS)02:42
rrqyou may edit /etc/profile for PATH fixing02:46
rrqand also /etc/login.defs for "su"02:46
fsmithredor /etc/default/su02:50
fsmithredsee man su02:50
n4dir/etc/default/su:ALWAYS_SET_PATH yes02:51
n4diri use that02:51
fsmithredNuc1eoN, there are some openrc users on the forum. You might check some discussions there. dev1galaxy.org02:55
Nuc1eoNfsmithred, looking at the boot log it seems I am using openrc03:24
Nuc1eoNor do you mean that openrc still uses sysvinit internally on devuan (however that would work)03:24
rrqopenrc is the service manager process; it's invoked by sysvinit's init process03:25
rrqsee the "si" line in /etc/inittab03:26
rrqor hmm is it the l* lines (?)03:29
Nuc1eoNI think using sysvinit as init is fine03:53
Nuc1eoNIm just surpruised about it03:53
Nuc1eoNbut according to https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/472706/is-it-possible-to-run-devuan-ascii-with-openrc-init sysvinit is faster03:53
djphbearing in mind that's talking about Ascii from, uh ... a while back03:54
gnarfacedoes openrc support parallel booting? i would guess it depends a lot on how many things you've got set to start on boot, and how many CPU cores you have...04:08
gnarfaceopenrc could conceivably be faster in some configurations but not others04:09
gnarfacethough i'm just guessing04:09
n4dirfast as in fast boot?04:10
gnarfaceoh, that's what i assumed we were talking about here04:11
n4dirwell, i don't think a lot about the init system, so i assumed it is about boot time. I can't say that ever was a problem for me04:12
gnarfaceyea it's never been the part of the system i needed to get more performance out of either04:12
n4diralways like 20 seconds, or less.  I tried openrc (or perhaps even still have it installed).04:12
n4dirwith a heck lot of fiddling i got down to like 12 seconds, but both is too fast for me to roll a cigarette. So no difference04:13
n4dirsystemd really was very slow in the beginning. iirc: "system waiting for job" or such. Both, boot and shutdown04:14
n4dirall that was only  chat, a side note.04:14
edsonwolfGood afternoon. I was using i386 architecture, with wine, but I don't need it anymore. But I can not remove. Is there any way?17:55
edsonwolfhttps://pastebin.com/xz0sEjGz17:55
djphuse dpkg to remove the architecture17:56
djphedsonwolf: ^17:56
djphor well, remove all the stuff depending on it, then remove it17:56
djphthe spaces in your dpkg output are weird, is that just an artifact of pastebin?17:57

edsonwolfI think this better18:01
