spine-o-saurusanyone know how to get the apt update to connect? mine is stuck at 0%02:56
gnarfacespine-o-saurus: you should just have to have a correct /etc/apt/sources.list file, assuming your network is working...02:58
spine-o-saurusdeb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus main contrib non-free02:59
gnarfacehmm, missing some things, but looks right at least03:01
gnarfaceyou're missing daedalus-updates and daedalus-security03:01
gnarfaceeach on their own lines. a correct config has a minimum of 3 lines03:02
gnarfacethere's also a deb-src line for each, optionally03:02
spine-o-saurusya i remember this happened last time. the only way to solve it was reinstall03:05
gnarfacei'm sure it's just a handful of tiny config files referring to or inferring the presence of pulseaudio that you just have to get rid of03:05
gnarfaceit shouldn't require a whole reinstall03:05
gnarfaceat least, not for that part of the problem03:05
gnarfacebut you could be facing other problems additionally03:05
gnarfaceoh woops, sorry got confused about which channel i was in there, ignore that03:06
gnarfacespine-o-saurus: relevant to your actual problem, last time you did what exactly?03:06
spine-o-saurusi added updates but now it is showing:Release file for http://deb.devuan.org/merged/dists/daedalus-updates/InRelease is not valid yet (invalid for another 7h 0min 6s). Updates for this repository will not be applied.03:07
gnarfaceis your system clock wrong?03:07
gnarfacewhat does "date" output?03:07
spine-o-saurusoh ya let me reboot03:07
gnarface... shouldn't even need a reboot03:08
spine-o-saurusya time is correct per https://time.is/PST03:13
gnarfaceit shouldn't have needed a reboot...03:13
spine-o-saurusbut now when i run apt update again stuck at 0%03:13
gnarfaceis the output of "date" correct?03:13
spine-o-saurusya03:13
gnarfaceyou sure your network is working? what do you get from "nslookup deb.devuan.org" (don't paste it in here though, just count how many records come back)03:14
spine-o-saurusya browser is reaching network just fine03:14
gnarfacefirefox? firefox might be using google's dns over https service03:15
gnarfacetry nslookup and ping03:15
spine-o-saurusFetched 47.0 kB in 4min 43s03:15
spine-o-sauruswait now it says this03:15
* onefang wonders if dial up or morse code was involved?03:16
spine-o-saurusi think it's working, but the status percent doesn't udpate to show the progress03:16
spine-o-saurusso all i'm seeing is 0%03:16
spine-o-saurusthere might be something wrong with the apt update03:17
gnarfacemaybe you're actually having some display or terminal output issue?03:17
gnarfacedid you hit ctrl+s accidentally?03:17
spine-o-saurusno03:17
gnarfacedo you see the same problem with apt-get or aptitude?03:18
spine-o-saurusno. i don't remember that having the same issue before03:19
gnarfacei mean right now03:19
gnarfaceis it literally only apt?03:19
spine-o-saurussame speed issue03:20
spine-o-saurusnot even sure that can be fixed03:21
gnarfacehard to say03:21
spine-o-saurusit just takes long time to complete & there is no progress indicator03:21
gnarfacewell the no progress indicator is the part that seems wrong. taking a long time could be normal.03:22
gnarfacebut i cannot reproduce here03:22
spine-o-saurusmaybe it is the internet here03:22
gnarfaceyou could try a few individual mirrors from the list, maybe find one you have a better route to03:23
spine-o-saurusya how do i change that03:23
gnarfacehere, just pick one of these and put it in your sources.list instead of deb.devuan.org: http://deb.devuan.org/mirror_list.txt03:23
spine-o-saurusok that is working now03:29
rrqthat's not how mirroring works; the mirors might only serve with domain name deb.devuan.org... and some of them also serves with format CC.deb.devuan.org where CC is a country code03:29
rrqif you want to select a particular mirror you need to set up /etc/hosts (or a dns service) to make tha IP resolution03:30
onefangUm no, you can just pick one from that list and edit sources.list as gnarface said.03:31
gnarfacethanks onefang03:31
rrqonefang: have you verified that?03:32
gnarfacerrq: these are all accessible directly by their own hostnames too, which is why https sporadically breaks when you're using the round-robin03:32
onefangI do that on my desktop, to point to my own mirror, to eat my own dog food.03:33
rrqthe servers have virtual services for particular domain names, and you cant't just use their IP or other names for them03:34
onefangExcept that they Do respond to their own domain name.  That's verified coz that's one of the tests apt-panopticon does.03:35
rrqeg mirror.rrq.au is not an HTTP service03:36
gnarfacerrq: you can make a virtual service respond to two domain names, what you can't do is make a https key do that03:36
rrqyes and not all deb.devuan.org mirrors serve in other names than deb.devuan.org03:37
onefangrrq: how you set up yours is different to how most others set theirs up.03:37
onefangA lot of others have their package mirror on a sub directory.  Your DNS trick wont help there.03:38
rrq???03:38
rrqDNS trick?03:38
onefang"rq: if you want to select a particular mirror you need to set up /etc/hosts (or a dns service) to make tha IP resolution"03:38
rrqyes the client sets up so that deb.devuan.org resolves to the mirror IP,... then the HTTP request will ask that server for service in the name of deb.devuan.org03:39
rrqbecause that's what the mirroring is about03:39
onefangWe are talking about the client using one of those mirrors directly, you are talking about the DNS-RR.03:40
rrqagain. mirror server do not need to serve the devuan content in any other name than deb.devuan.org03:40
onefangAgain, MOST do.03:41
rrqso then you have to tell clients to use one of them and not the others03:41
onefangWhich is what gnarface did.  Both methods are useful sometimes.03:42
rrqhow many is "most"; have you checked?03:42
onefangOff the top of my head I think yours is the only one that doesn't.03:42
rrqhave you actually checked?03:43
onefangThe details will be in apt-panopticon.03:43
gnarfacei haven't checked myself, but also nobody has complained about that advice before03:44
onefangI sometimes give the same advice.03:44
rrqthat's fine; it's not a good advice, but you do you03:45
gnarfacewell, i didn't know any of them might not be reachable by their own hostnames, but also nobody i gave that advice to has ever reported having trouble finding one they could reach that way, i don't even recall anyone complaining that any of them couldn't be reached that way...03:48
gnarface...so "most" might be accurate03:48
rrqsure, but there is no requirement or expectation for devuan mirroring that they provide that service03:56
rrqhmm sledjhamr.org doesn't... ??04:00
gnarfacedoes for me04:04
rrqyou get http://sledjhamr.org/merged/dists/archived.README (without it changing to https)?04:05
gnarfaceno, but http://sledjhamr.org/devuan/merged/dists/archived.README04:06
gnarfaceyou'd have to put the /devuan/ part in sources.list too, but afaik should work fine...04:06
onefangThat's what I said before, some use a sub directory.04:07
gnarfacei probably should have mentioned that specifically to spine-o-saurus, but again, he didn't seem to have a problem, and after all it's listed explicitly as BaseURL in the mirror_list.txt04:08
rrqthat's good and important yes04:12
rrqand in fact http://mirror.rrq.au/ does serve something as well ... my short-term memory is failing me :)04:19
rrqso I stand corrected; the advice of using the BaseURL is workable04:23
Guest58be me, on Daedalus, do an apt-upgrade.10:01
Guest58get this mess:10:01
Guest58Setting up nvidia-persistenced (535.171.04-1~deb12u1) ...10:01

Guest58E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)10:01
Guest58how fix?10:01
fsmithredI think if you install without Recommends you can avoid installing nvidia-persistenced which is not really required for the driver to work.10:10
fsmithredand I might be giving you old information. There might be another solution.10:10
Guest58I should probably just blacklist it, if thats teh cure10:11
fsmithreddont install nvidia-driver-full10:12
fsmithredit's a metapackage and as you said, it depends on a problem package10:12
fsmithredjust install the parts you need. (I don't know which ones)10:12
fsmithredprobably nvidia-driver-some-version and some -dkms package and nvidia-settings if that's a separate package.10:13
Guest58its worth a swing. time to reboot and see if it changed anything10:17
Guest58BRB10:17
fsmithredgood luck10:17
Guest58no joy10:19
fsmithredwhich nvidia packages did you install?10:21
fsmithredneed food. back in a few minutes.10:22
Guest58grrr10:25
Guest58nvidia-driver is already the newest version (535.216.01-1~deb12u1).10:25
Guest58firmware-misc-nonfree is already the newest version (20230210-5).10:25
Guest58when I reinstall the dkms, I get `autoinstall for dkms modules has been disabled.'10:28
fsmithredI don't know what that means10:38
Guest58makes two of us10:38
Guest58all I know for sure is that I still have no working nvidia drivers. :(10:39
fsmithrednvidia-driver, nvidia-support, nvidia-modprobe, nvidia-driver-bin and libgl-nvidia-glx10:41
fsmithred^^^ found that in old log10:41
* Guest58 reboots again10:44
Guest58nope10:47
fsmithredguesses here: blacklist nouveau? edit xorg.conf?10:52
Guest58pretty sure nouveau is already blacklisted10:52
cousin_luigiGuest58: Could there be something to set in a configuration file?10:53
Guest58thats what I'd like to know10:54
cousin_luigiGuest58: find /etc -name "*dkms*"10:54
Guest58this was all working two days ago , until I did a silly apt-upgrade10:54
cousin_luigihmmm10:54
cousin_luigiwas dkms one of the updated packages?10:54
Guest58probably. it was a big list.10:56
Guest58I'd gona few months without updating10:56
cousin_luigiGuest58: Is there an /etc/dkms/no-autoinstall file?10:57
Guest58... yes10:57
* Guest58 smacks face on wall10:58
cousin_luigiDunno if that's the way to go though, maybe it's a security precaution and there's a different workaround.10:59
Guest58at this point, I THINK the drivers are installed, they're just not loading...11:03
Guest58# modprobe nvidia11:10
Guest58modprobe: FATAL: Module nvidia-current not found in directory /lib/modules/6.1.0-31-amd6411:10
Guest58modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:1047 command_do() Error running install command 'modprobe -i nvidia-current ' for module nvidia: retcode 111:10
Guest58modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': Invalid argument11:10
* Guest58 goes to bed, will be back in 6.511:11
gnarfacethere's a proper way to retrigger dkms manually, but you need build tools and the linux kernel headers package corresponding to your installed kernel for it to work right11:25
gnarfacenot sure if that's the only problem here but it definitely won't work right without it11:29
* Guest8 yawns16:42
* Guest58 stabs graphics drivers with a logic probe17:57
Guest58nope. drivers still not working18:20
dosensuppe2plasma41: thanks a lot!19:17
dosensuppe2though for some reason applying 03,05,06,08 fails applying19:18
dosensuppe2nevermind. I did it with git am like you said in the message and it didn't return any errors19:26
dosensuppe2ok. I successfully built the package, but wasn't able to install it via the package manager due to dependency problems.20:22
dosensuppe2I'll wait till it gets accepted into the release. thanks20:22
dosensuppe2it's not *that* dire20:23
dosensuppe2I just pulled the newest version from the git. probably doesn't go well with a stable debian install20:28

plasma41dosensuppe2: What were the dependency problems?21:57
plasma41dosensuppe2: Also which release are you building for?21:58
plasma41dosensuppe2: Because of the t64 transition that occurred in testing/unstable, building a backport of the fixed snapper package requires one additional patch applied after the patchset that fixes Debian bug #976888. Here's that additional patch: https://paste.debian.net/1352889/22:09
