| rrq | aswjrisp: did you set up a boot partition upon installation? Is it UEFI bios or legacy bios? | 01:13 |
|---|---|---|
| gnarface | could it be this? https://tech.slashdot.org/story/24/08/21/0031243/something-has-gone-seriously-wrong-dual-boot-systems-warn-after-microsoft-update | 03:00 |
| obeardly | Hello all, does anyone here have a Devuan friendly groupware server they would recommend? | 04:40 |
| fluffywolf | gnarface: finally, something that makes me think secure boot is a good idea... implementing a mechanism to prevent one OS from modifying the boot process of another! | 04:42 |
| fluffywolf | windows shouldn't be able to affect linux booting. | 04:44 |
| gnarface | obeardly: no, i don't, but i'm told that google docs and office 365 both work just as well in firefox on linux as they do in firefox on any other OS | 04:52 |
| gnarface | the distro shouldn't matter at all, but firefox version and your installed font selection might matter a little | 04:52 |
| obeardly | gnarface: I'm thinking open-source, self-hosted email and calendar, although office apps would be appreciated as well. | 04:53 |
| gnarface | eh, i think thunderbird has shared calendar features, but i don't think they're very popular | 04:54 |
| gnarface | email isn't special, you can self host that with one of a dozen or so options on devuan | 04:54 |
| gnarface | likewise with file sharing | 04:54 |
| obeardly | I'm looking at platforms like Citadel and Zimbra. All in one groupware solutions. | 04:55 |
| gnarface | if you have to work with documents from Windows, you'll probably want this package: https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/policy-query.html?c=package&q=core.*fonts&x=submit | 04:55 |
| obeardly | Most of these platforms require systemd unless you want to be writing your own init scrips. | 04:55 |
| gnarface | we have a package called orphan-sysvinit-scripts to cover that | 04:56 |
| gnarface | if you find a daemon without an init script and it's also missing from this package... notify someone around here (not me) | 04:57 |
| obeardly | gnarface: This is a list of the type of application suites I'm looking at: https://www.devopsschool.com/blog/list-of-top-free-open-source-self-hosted-application-for-groupware/ | 04:57 |
| gnarface | obeardly: it's not really something i've got a lot of experience with, but stick around for a while and someone else might | 04:59 |
| gnarface | you also might want to join #devuan-offtopic | 05:00 |
| obeardly | I've set up quite a few in the past, but that was before Devuan, on Debian. | 05:00 |
| obeardly | Now everyone bows to the systemd overlords. Most flat out will not work without systemd. | 05:01 |
| gnarface | well, like i said, someone around here will add missing init scripts to "orphan-sysvinit-scripts" if that's all that it takes | 05:01 |
| obeardly | It's actually much more complicated than that because they are baking systemd into the core functionality of the suites now. | 05:01 |
| gnarface | oh, i know, but it's gonna take more than one volunteer's free time to fix that | 05:02 |
| obeardly | I agree, hence why I was asking if anyone knew of a Devuan friendly groupware suite. | 05:02 |
| gnarface | while i don't know, my instinct is that most people around here either roll their own or work alone | 05:03 |
| obeardly | I would concur with that statement. | 05:04 |
| gnarface | i suppose you could also try getting one working with systemd-shim, but it seems to have been removed from the distro 3 releases ago, so i'm not sure if that's feasible | 05:08 |
| obeardly | I'm going to play around with some of them and see which ones will install and run under Devuan. | 05:08 |
| rrq | obeardly: could be useful with a note on the forum about good results | 06:30 |
| al1r4d | obeardly: nextcloud? | 08:48 |
| freaxeh | hi | 08:49 |
| al1r4d | hi | 08:49 |
| freaxeh | i've transitioned my devuan file server over from one motherboard to another, which has forced me to do a fresh installation of devuan. trouble is i have a mdadm array that needs importing | 08:50 |
| freaxeh | how do i do that | 08:50 |
| freaxeh | is it as simple as: "mdadm --detail --scan | tee -a /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf"? | 08:50 |
| freaxeh | is that the right command | 08:51 |
| freaxeh | no data loss has occured, i'm using a different system drive | 08:51 |
| freaxeh | basically one mobo supports m.2 and another one only supports sata | 08:52 |
| freaxeh | the new one only supports sata | 08:52 |
| al1r4d | freaxeh, i never use that command. i can't help | 08:52 |
| freaxeh | k | 08:53 |
| al1r4d | sorry | 08:53 |
| freaxeh | its cool | 08:53 |
| al1r4d | as far as i remember, current year is 3 years me with devuan, its cool :D | 08:54 |
| freaxeh | as far as i'm aware i need to get my mdadm.conf file | 08:55 |
| freaxeh | from the old drive | 08:55 |
| freaxeh | https://serverfault.com/questions/32709/how-do-i-move-a-linux-software-raid-to-a-new-machine | 08:55 |
| al1r4d | hmm | 08:58 |
| al1r4d | good luck freaxeh | 08:59 |
| freaxeh | brb gotta transfer those files | 09:01 |
| freaxeh | that worked a treat | 09:28 |
| freaxeh | now to add it to fstab | 09:29 |
| freaxeh | i've got slow performance in samba | 10:48 |
| freaxeh | 6-20MB/sec when I should be getting much higher | 10:48 |
| freaxeh | ah it might be my wifi connection | 10:51 |
| freaxeh | brb | 10:51 |
| freaxeh | it was, problem fixed, now getting 42MB/sec | 10:53 |
| freaxeh | now getting 100MB/sec on ethernet | 10:55 |
| freaxeh | sweet | 10:55 |
| aswjrisp | rrq: I am not sure. I used the default partitioning from the graphical installer. | 14:14 |
| fsmithred | aswjrisp, please post the output of 'fdisk -l' and 'df -Th' on paste.debian.net and give us the link. You can tell that you booted in uefi mode if /sys/firmware/efi exists. | 14:54 |
| fsmithred | I say "us" but I have to go soon and will be gone for a few hours. | 14:55 |
| fsmithred | and rrq is probably asleep. | 14:55 |
| fsmithred | btw, you can boot any of the installer images to a rescue system and reinstall the bootloader or do other things manually. Look in the Advanced part of the boot menu. | 14:56 |
| fsmithred | oh, you're probably going to do this from a live boot, so don't bother with df -Th or /sys/firmware/efi. | 14:57 |
| fsmithred | output of blkid might help, too. | 14:58 |
| fsmithred | ok, third thought - if you boot the same media you used for the install, knowing if /sys/firmware/efi exists in the booted live system will tell us how the installer thought it should proceed. | 14:59 |
