XenguyI'm curious to know if anyone has tried installing the 'Debian deb' files on Devuan for VeraCrypt?01:14
XenguyIf so, just wondering if it alright on Devuan?01:14
Xenguy*installed alright01:15
XenguyThere's a CLI utility named 'pom' that works great to indicate the current moon phase, but after reading the man page (without 'examples' as usual, grrr) I'll be damned if I can find the right syntax to find out the moon phase for tomorrow or some other arbitrary future date04:12
XenguyWhat's most frustrating is when man pages just appear to outright lie04:12
XenguyGiving you instructions that return only an error04:12
XenguyIt could be PEBCAK, but read the man page and tell me otherwise04:12
al1r4d"690 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them."04:43
al1r4d🙄04:43
al1r4di regret for what i did in the past (switched to unstable). it's a mistake choice indeed04:46
debdog.04:48
rwpOnly 690?  That can't be more than a couple of days between upgrades then.  :-)05:01
rwpI have scripted the upgrade of my Unstable systems to run daily and to email me the result of it.  I look at the email and if it worked then I just note which packages upgraded.  If it failed then I go look to see why and then submit a bug report.05:02
onefangAlmost got WiFi on the other box working the way I want.  Most annoying thing is how do I get Daedalus to switch back to wlan0 from wwtfbbqlongrandomname?07:07
onefangconnman-gtk seems to be the one that worked, so long as the others are not installed.  Though it's obviously a GTK program, so I expect it to be enshitified next version.07:08
onefangNevermind.  Adding 'net.ifnames=0' to the kernel parameters worked this time.  No idea why it didn't before.07:17
rwpWas a mkinitramfs needed to freeze it there?07:23
rwpI know I used connman for at least a month probably two years ago.  I remember that it worked.  But I remember it being odd.  I installed it just two days ago to return to it.  And I could not figure out how to make it work.07:25
rwpI made it work before.  I know it works.  It's me.  I am the lowest common denominator of the problem.  So I know the problem exists between my chair and keyboard.07:25
rwpSo now I am flipping back and forth between wpa_gui and me doing it manually.  I am connected manually right now.07:26
rwpIf I need to connect to a new access point then I start up wpa_gui and have it edit the wpa_supplicant.conf file for me and connect.07:26
onefangI had to purge network-manager and wapgui before it'll work.  One or both of those fights with connman I think.07:26
rwpThen later I delete the disabled=1 lines and return to running wpa_supplicant manualy.07:26
rwpSince network-manager fights with everything purging it makes good sense.  But I did that long ago.  But do have connman and wpa_gui both installed now at the same time.  Have to be careful that connmand is not running though.07:27
onefangAnyone know how to get connman work with a hidden SSID?07:59
strato!bands08:09
onefangBack to JACK hacking.  B-)09:11
Alverstonemy /tmp has just been 755 and it's not the first time either. how can i befriend it? i promise not to do anything funny! not tmpfs either, just part of my /17:37
AlverstoneI just can't comprehend why would any scripts touch its permissions at all?17:39
djphhuh, that's odd17:41
Alverstoneanother clue here, it hasn't been cleaned17:45
Alverstonemeaning S11mountall-bootclean.sh has refused to clean it since it wasn't world writable, see clean_tmp ()17:45
AlverstoneIt means that some brat changed the permissions during a shutdown17:46
Alverstonethat's so odd17:46
Alverstonewhere are shutdown logs?17:46
Alverstoneare there any btw?17:47
gnarfaceyou sure it's even mounted?17:47
Alverstoneit isn't supposed to be mounted, it's part of my / and has always been so17:48
gnarfacehmm17:48
Alverstoney'know, shutdown logs could make it a great deal easier17:48
AlverstoneAny way to arrange that?17:48
gnarfacedoesn't it go into the dmesg log already?17:49
Alverstoneand where's the dmesg log?17:49
gnarfacein /var/log17:49
Alverstone:)17:50
Alverstonegrep runit dmesg* yields nothing17:51
Alverstonehm17:51
Alverstonewhat should I grep, exactly?17:51
Alverstonemakes me wonder17:51
gnarfacei'm not sure how to enable it, maybe rsyslog.conf?17:52
Alverstone:( I use socklog for god's sake17:53
AlverstoneI'm thinking about something horrible, abominable and unforgivable17:55
Alverstoneset -x in the top level script and duplicate stderr and stdout to some other file17:56
rwpYou have fixed the mode problem?  chmod 01777 /tmp  OR using symbolic modes: chmod a=rwx,ugo-s,+t tmp17:56
Alverstoneyou know, like exec 100>/log and then... what? I forget17:57
rwpShutdown logs are simply more system logs.  Look in /var/log/syslog for those.17:57
Alverstonechmod =177 /tmp that's what i did17:57
rwpNow when you "ls -ld /tmp" it says the mode is "drwxrwxrwt" now?17:58
Alverstoneprobably17:58
Alverstonedrwxrwxrwt17:58
Alverstone=177717:58
rwpGood!  And the owner is root and the group is root too?17:58
Alverstoneyep17:59
rwpGood!  I was worried for you and your /tmp and your system using it. :-)17:59
AlverstoneNow time to be worried about my mental health18:01
AlverstoneI grepped entire /var/log and no relevant records18:02
AlverstoneOkay I'll pretend it didn't happen for now, if it becomes obnoxious, I'll have to unleash my scripting skills18:05
Alverstone:D18:06
gnarfaceyou might need to change your socklog configuration18:08
gnarfaceif it was rsyslog, you'd check for a line with "kern.*" maybe it would be similar?18:09
rwpLet me assure you that nothing that was shipped with the Devuan system would have made that change.  It had to have been something after the system was installed.18:10
AlverstoneI don't remember any of my scripts ever doing anything like that though18:11
AlverstoneIn general, I avoid injecting code into boot/shutdown process18:11
Alverstonegnarface, there are kernel logs, they just don't contain anything useful18:12
Alverstonegnarface, it's just dmesg log18:12
Alverstoneand it happened twice when I was still in the process of installation18:13
Alverstonemaybe I miss a package or something18:13
Alverstoneinstalling using apt-rdepends is likely not quite supported18:14
rwpNo missing package would change permissions of /tmp.  No installed package would change the permission of /tmp.  It would have to be something else.18:14
AlverstoneWell, I'm out of ideas to be very honest18:14
AlverstoneThere is only one place permissions of /tmp are changed, in mount_tmp () and it's correct18:22
AlverstoneAlso happens at boot18:22
Alverstonequite weird, that18:22
Alverstoneit should chmod /tmp correctly before /tmp is cleaned18:22
Alverstonewell, I don't understand any of it18:23
