paculinoThe problem isn't running during boot, but the order that it starts running in relative to other things. Starting ifupdown just ten seconds after boot fixed all my problems with that.05:50
paculino(Well, the problem wasn't running during boot, for me personally)05:51
cousin_luigipaculino: I think it has to do with services starting in parallel. You can either disable that or set dependencies.05:56
cousin_luigiI had to do something like that, once.05:56
paculinoJust delaying enough to be after the wm started worked for me05:58
gnarfacepaculino: what i usually do is just disable the offending service then wire its start directly into my interfaces file06:04
gnarface...usually tied by one of the script hooks to a particular network device06:04
paculinoI'm lazy and stick with whatever initial solution still works. Which is why I still use CLI for volume control instead of making a proper widget.06:10
darwini read to allow samba guest shares you only need '[homes]' 'browseable = yes' 'guest ok = yes' which now seems false on Devuan... added that; restarted smbd; can't access homes remotely in KDE Dolphin10:50
darwinfrom PC with KDE5, not 610:51
gnarfacebeen a while since i used it, but i recall there being another gotcha with user names and passwords needing to match too11:03
gnarfaceif you try connecting with smbclient and be really explicit about everything (ips, workgroups, everything) it should be obvious what's not matching defaults11:04
gnarfacewell, maybe not immediately but i mean you can figure it out deductively that way11:04
gnarfacein some cases windows may store the username in both long and short formats11:05
gnarfaceand i think you have to use the long one11:06
gnarfacesomething like that11:06
gnarface...and then if you created the "full name" version of the username all lower case, it may upper-case the first letters of each part on display, but not actually on storage or authentication, so it may not be super obvious what it thinks your username even is11:07
gnarfacedarwin: ^11:10
darwinthere are no passwords11:10
gnarfaceoh yes there is11:10
darwinnope11:10
gnarfacetry ''11:11
darwinif PAM was added that, PAM Linux is trying to force that on everyone.  PAM FreeBSD doesn't11:11
gnarfaceno i mean on the windows side11:11
darwinthere's no Windows side11:11
gnarfaceoh11:11
darwinwouldn't have those either11:11
gnarfacewell, start with smbclient then for sure11:11
gnarfacebut yes, windows would present a username and password, it just might not tell you it's doing it11:12
gnarface(depending on version and in some cases install-time setup options, iirc)11:12
gnarfacebut smbclient gives you command-line access to every single relevant parameter, so once you can connect with smbclient you can more easily figure out what other stuff isn't sending right11:13
darwinthat works, just not withD Dolphin, which is the only thing we or at least they wanted to use it with11:13
gnarfacesmbclient also has some rudimentary probing features, to help figure out that the requests are going the right place and paths are right and such11:13
gnarfaceoh you already successfully connected with smbclient?11:14
darwinyes.  Maybe I need to start some KDE services.  By KDE4, everything was so slow, that I quit KDE5, and now in XFCE no longer start it with services, because Konsole, Dolphin, KATE don't seem to need those11:14
darwini've been testing KDE6 almost a year and it's been buggier longer than all other 'plasma' versions11:15
gnarfaceit can't be that hard, my guess is dolphin is just missing part of the necessary info, or defaulting to something wrong, but unfortunately i'm not familiar enough with it to help with specifics... stick around though, maybe someone else here knows11:15
gnarfaceincidentally, if Windows isn't involved, why bother with samba?11:15
darwinok11:15
darwinthe users may use windows occasionally/rarely11:16
gnarfaceoh, well nfs is usually a lot easier to set up, and newer versions of windows support it11:16
gnarfaceunless you're like using win98 or something you shouldn't be really shackled to samba11:16
darwinand to help them, I don't want to do an entire NFS, because using stuff like chroots & NFS I accidentally deleted some of my stuff in those from my PC's shell11:16
gnarfacehmm11:17
darwini don't know if chroot does that... I mounted my /home/user in a chroot then started to delete most the chroot... what would that do?  I never really found out...11:17
darwini have backups, but they never learned how to make them, so I handle those, and some are supposed to be automatic nightly but things go wrong sometimes11:18
gnarfacewell, good luck to you. it's a slow channel but people read the scrollback so just hang around11:18
gnarfacefeel free to stay connected idle and check back tomorrow11:18
darwinshould I have checked my backup after maybe deleting some of /root/chroot/home/darwin ?11:20
gnarfaceuh... i'm not sure what your confusion about it is11:20
darwinit was an OS chroot I mounted my PC's home directory11:21
darwinsometimes you mount a directory somewhere else and it won't delete it, like /root in NFS, but I don't know if /home/user in chroot denies that also11:22
gnarfaceuh, no. there's no safety on chroots like that as far as i know. it would have been operating on the real copies of whatever was in there11:23
gnarfaceso yes, if it was something important you should probably check your backups11:23
gnarfacehowever, if it's just a user's home directory there's probably nothing in there that's unrecoverable unless you put it there yourself11:24
gnarfacethe system default files and such are usually simple to get back through the same automated mechanism that creates new users11:24
gnarfaceso uh, only you can really know the answer to this11:24
gnarfaceif NFS was also involved, i don't think that'll change anything but truthfully i never tried it11:25
darwini may have stopped it before it was too late, but it was a long time ago.  I forgot if I checked my main backups, but I have at least three other backups and more of some things11:25
darwini see11:25
gnarfacei still recommend NFS over samba, for various reasons11:25
yetipfffft...  I just read that like "NFS tunnelled thru samba" and started scratching my head about that...   o;-)  (still busy with first caffeine of the day)11:30
gnarfaceheh11:30
* yeti like "http over tor"11:30
gnarfaceto be clear i mean i still recommend NFS instead of samba11:30
gnarfaceyou gain a lot of speed and lose a lot of complexity11:31
gnarfacethe security in both cases is laughable so on that count it's a wash11:31
yetiI had too many problems with samba and only used it when the job forced me11:32
yetibut that was >2 decades ago.  the wounds are healing   \o/11:32
gnarfacei think it was a similar amount of time for me11:32
gnarfaceslightly less than 2 decades11:32
yetiI use read-only autofs on /net11:32
yetifor write access scp/rsh or such.  sometimes I need to restrict myself to keep me from doing silly things11:33
yetis/rsh/rsync/11:33
yetiI dont run complex UID translation tables and depending on installation order, d??an gives the same services different UIDs on the systems11:36
cousin_luigipaculino: To further elaborate on my comment from this morning, the file to modify is /etc/insserv/overrides18:51
Guest66Is there some trick to run qemu-kvm on testing or is it not possible without editing packages?19:01
Guest66According to pkginfo it's "not a thing": https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/policy-query.html?c=package&q=qemu-kvm19:01
Guest66Nvm, I remember how I did this previously19:09
AlexLikeRock_hi  guys19:56
AlexLikeRock_ammm21:06
AlexLikeRock_help21:06
AlexLikeRock_i got  this script :21:07
AlexLikeRock_ ffmpeg -i "$i" -acodec libmp3lame $(basename "$i").mp321:07
AlexLikeRock_but i have problem whit "spaces"21:07
AlexLikeRock_any suggest ?21:07
CueXXIIIjust quote the argument again: "$(basename "$i").mp3"21:08
AlexLikeRock_i think  :   ffmpeg -i "$i" -acodec libmp3lame $(basename $("$i")).mp321:08
AlexLikeRock_thanks  CueXXIII21:09
AlexLikeRock_let my try21:09
AlexLikeRock_yes!!!!!21:11
AlexLikeRock_ its exactly zone  , to put the quote21:12
SOFTWIFIHi, is there someone in the room who could help me get my wifi TX power lower?23:58
SOFTWIFII suspect that the regulatory domain is erroneously fixing my txpower at the regulatory maximum, but I need it to be about 70% lower than that.23:59
