Unit193"Is anyone using debvm on !systemd (e.g. sysvinit)?"  Someone is looking to make a patch and desires not to break sysvinit, if anyone is using that they should speak up.09:32
gnu_srs1I think I got things working now, alsa and unmuting with alsamixer did it :) Thanks!17:12
masonUnit193: What's debvm?17:22
masonI don't see a package for it.17:22
masonHm, found https://www.linux-magazine.com/Issues/2023/274/Command-Line-Disposable-VMs17:22
masonI don't use that. I clone base machine snapshots for the purpose.17:23
masonWhee: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=105564517:40
fsmithredmason, I installed debvm this morning and played with it for a little while. I couldn't figure out how to get debvm-create to work, so I gave up.18:05
fsmithredI have my own scripts for making and running VMs.18:06
masonOf course, I've largely moved away from heavyweight VMs since I've gotten into LXC.18:07
masonFrom inside the running container, you'd have to look a bit to realize you're not in a hardware install or a VM.18:07
fsmithredI haven't tried that yet.18:07
masonThis is written in terms of Debian, but it'd be just about identical on Devuan, just changing repo names: https://github.com/ChibaPet/lxc-utils18:08
fsmithredthanks18:09
masonWhich is to say, it's just a debootstrap install, although it seems like mmdebstrap might be better for avoiding UsrMerge rolling forward.18:09
Unit193mason: It's a package in unstable at least.  Just figured I'd mention it.22:39
masonAh, I never think to check sid.22:50
brocashelmi always check sid before any other version, since the changes start with that repo22:52
brocashelmdebvm, never heard of it22:53
