| tempforever | has deb trixie entered soft freeze yet? https://release.debian.org/testing/freeze_policy.html indicates it was supposed to Apr 15 | 04:18 |
|---|---|---|
| LeePen | tempforever: yes | 13:13 |

| fsmithred | I just had a weird thing happen. I ran update/upgrade on an excalibur VM and it installed the new desktop-base (5.9) and the sapphire them desktop background went away, then a few more packages installed, then desktop-base same version got installed again and sapphire background image came back. This is on mate desktop. | 14:02 |
| fsmithred | why did d-b get installed twice? That's not anything I did, but it seems like it worked. Need to try it with xfce desktop. | 14:03 |
| CueXXIII | did it really install desktop-base twice or did it remove it first during the upgrade? | 15:49 |
| fsmithred | pretty sure it installed | 15:52 |
| fsmithred | twice | 15:52 |
| CueXXIII | that's strange | 15:54 |
| fsmithred | yeah, I think I would have noticed it before if it removed at the beginning and installed at the end of upgrade. I have set -x in the pre- and post- scrripts. It makes a lot of output. | 15:58 |
| CueXXIII | you could look at /var/log/dpkg.log to see what dpkg actually did | 15:59 |
| Xenguy | I vote for making MATE the default Devuan desktop | 15:59 |
| * Xenguy runs aways... | 15:59 | |
| fsmithred | does it have plain text config files or dconf binary shit | 16:01 |
| fsmithred | ? | 16:01 |
| fsmithred | I can't tell for sure. here is dpkg.log: https://termbin.com/u7bx | 16:08 |
| Xenguy | fsmithred, I have no idea, as I've never used either with this DE | 16:24 |
| fsmithred | I took a quick look around and couldn't find much in the way of config files for mate. | 16:46 |
| Xenguy | I suppose that begs the question, what are you trying to config? | 16:47 |
| CueXXIII | fsmithred: hm, i only see one "upgrade" and one "configure" action of desktop-base in there, the "status" lines are status changes during that action | 16:48 |
| Xenguy | fsmithred, As I say, I've never needed them AFAICT | 16:48 |
| fsmithred | Xenguy, window theme, desktop background | 16:48 |
| fsmithred | and icon theme | 16:48 |
| fsmithred | i.e. desktop-base | 16:48 |
| Xenguy | fsmithred, I think that's just done by GUI, but I don't mess with such things typically | 16:49 |
| Xenguy | Maybe it's different for you if you're trying to roll an ISO | 16:49 |
| fsmithred | no, it needs to be done when the package gets installed. There needs to be code in desktop-base to do that. | 16:49 |
| Xenguy | Yeah, fair enough | 16:50 |
| fsmithred | I'm not rolling an iso, I am considering your request to change the default DE | 16:50 |
| Xenguy | Well a new DE would impact an ISO I think | 16:50 |
| fsmithred | although, d-b probably doesn't matter. It's very nearly an abandoned package. | 16:50 |
| fsmithred | Anyone want it? | 16:50 |
| Xenguy | But yeah, I don't know these internals admittedly | 16:51 |
| Xenguy | "d-b" ? | 16:51 |
| fsmithred | desktop-base | 16:51 |
| Xenguy | Oh | 16:51 |
| fsmithred | which I have hated ever since spacefun theme | 16:51 |
| fsmithred | and avoided | 16:51 |
| Xenguy | It doesn't mean anything to me, but I'm just another user | 16:51 |
