| systemdlete | It looks like I installed rsyslog 8.2302 on Sept 17 2023. Unfortunately, my apt history logs don't go back much further than that. | 00:14 |
|---|---|---|
| systemdlete | I could try to restore older history from backups | 00:14 |
| onefang | If you are using etckeeper, you can look at the git logs to check apt changes. | 00:14 |
| systemdlete | etckeeper... not sure | 00:15 |
| systemdlete | etckeeper/stable 1.18.20-1 all | 00:15 |
| systemdlete | store /etc in git, mercurial, brz or darcs | 00:15 |
| systemdlete | nothing about /var -- or does it? | 00:16 |
| onefang | Ah no, it only handles /etc. | 00:16 |
| systemdlete | but good idea. Wonder if it could be extended to support /var also. | 00:16 |
| systemdlete | OTOH, I am already backing up /var/log/* | 00:16 |
| onefang | But it DOES log any package apt deals with if I recall. Just woke up, not had brekky, could be wrong. | 00:17 |
| onefang | I'm considering doing something similar for so called dotfiles, but there's a few packages for that, and I haven't looked into it yet. | 00:21 |
| systemdlete | oh crud. Wrong system... I was developing a script using one system, meant to run it on that chimaera host | 00:23 |
| onefang | I'm in danger of that. Updating my script that installs Devuan, I'm running the result in a VM now, most things have been moved across. Soon I'll reboot into what is now the VM, but run it direct on the hardware. I'm already getting confused about which program is running where sometimes. lol | 00:25 |
| systemdlete | I do that a lot. Anyway, rsyslog 8.3202 was installed there in April, as it turns out. I think that was the same day I ran into a problem with space on my cloud drive (mega). Since then, no problems. | 00:28 |
| systemdlete | So I might be the guilty party after all. Sorry all. | 00:28 |
| systemdlete | Or partly guilty. I just don't recall having set up the init files, but I might have. | 00:29 |
| systemdlete | And I have definitely rebooted that box a few times since April. Usually about every 2 or 3 weeks, sometimes as much as 6 weeks. | 00:30 |
| systemdlete | 8 times in May and 8 times in June, according to last(1) | 00:31 |
| systemdlete | Well, no one here will be able to figure this out, except me (maybe) | 00:33 |
| onefang | Good luck. | 00:33 |
| systemdlete | hopefully, someday, brains will have backups too. | 00:33 |
| systemdlete | (but I'll be gone by then...) | 00:33 |
| onefang | You should make a backup! B-) | 00:34 |
| systemdlete | spill my brains into... what? | 00:34 |
| systemdlete | lol | 00:34 |
| systemdlete | Anyway, back to the original issue... why that chimaera host desktop crashed on me today. | 00:35 |
| systemdlete | Without the logs, it is very hard to tell. | 00:35 |
| systemdlete | This was the first time in YEARS that I've had a crash like that. | 00:36 |
| onefang | Hope I didn't miss anything important in the last few hours in any of the Devuan channels. Just got back from an appointment, and my computer was locked up. | 08:28 |
| onefang | On the plus side, I took this chance to boot into what was the Daedalus VM this morning. Working fine as the main OS on bare metal now. B-) | 08:30 |
| onefang | Sooooo, one of the things I have put off so far is getting everything to a proper dark theme. Since this time I'm trying the start from scratch method, what's the simple way to get typical GTK and QT applications running a decent dark theme? | 09:16 |
| onefang | Like hexchat for example. The chat area is white text on black, coz I can configure it that way. The rest of the window is the default dark text on white theme. | 09:18 |
| onefang | Preferably something I can add to my OS building script. | 09:19 |
| gnarface | hexchat is still gtk2 right? the main config file is ~/.gtkrc-2.0 | 09:24 |
| gnarface | i don't know about QT though | 09:24 |
| gnarface | i think you can still use lxappearance for the gtk2 theme if you don't want to edit the config by hand | 09:25 |
| gnarface | checking to make sure lxappearance is still in daedalus, because my gtk2 theme is not... | 09:25 |
| gnarface | hmm, yep, lxappearance is still there | 09:25 |
| gnarface | gtk3 configs are in ~/.config/gtk-3.0, not sure what you can use to edit it other than a text editor | 09:27 |
| onefang | Though I'm using awesome SW, I still use some lx utilities. | 09:27 |
| onefang | Er awesome WM | 09:28 |
| onefang | Next step, find and install a decent dark theme. | 09:33 |
| gnarface | i liked Wii-Black but it seems to have fallen out of support | 09:34 |
| onefang | lxappearance did work for hexchat though. Thanks gnarface. | 09:34 |
| gnarface | no problem | 09:34 |
| onefang | Ironically enough, the other IM client I still use, Psi+, is a QT thing. I can test that out there when I figure out how to QT it. | 09:36 |
| gnarface | i can't remember how to change QT themes, unfortunately | 09:37 |
| onefang | You got me half way there. B-) | 09:37 |
| onefang_ | Nodoka-Midnight is looking OK so far. | 10:11 |
