rrq(famous last words :)00:57
darwinThe following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: 'NO_PUBKEY 47981EA73D0E1C63 Hit:24 http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus InRelease Hit:25 http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-security InRelease Hit:26 http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-updates InRelease' and just about everything else sometimes/randomly12:03
rrqwhose key is that?12:10
rrq LibreWolf Maintainers <gpg@librewolf.net> ...12:15
rrqif you put their repository in sources list then you'll alse need to add their key12:16
rrqperhaps they have instructions about that12:16
djph... shame that apt-key got deprecated, that made this part easy12:16
darwincan I copy all keys from another Devuan PC that doesn't have this problem?12:16
darwinyes :(12:16
darwinand something else got deprecated before that... it's a mess12:17
rrqI think the issue is rather your sources.list12:17
darwinthis happens on every Debian-based install for years, so we might have to try something else12:17
djphjust, y'know, download the key and stuff it off in ... oh what's it, /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ ?12:17
rrqyes a binary key in there should work12:17
djphI mean, it's not a difficult task, it's just that it requires a little more manual work now than apt-key did12:18
djphnote to self, write an "apt-keyng" script that just does that bit easy like12:19
darwinit's the same sort of thing large software corporations and large websites do when they change things and believe users will like it (but 90% won't)12:19
djphthe problems with apt-key warranted its removal though12:19
rrqI think it's about to change.. to use /usr/share/keyrings and /etc/apt/kerings instead but I'm not sure what and when12:20
djpher deprecation12:20
djphwell, yeah, IIRC, 'trusted.gpg.d' still has some of the "it's a bit of a global allowlist" issue that apt-key had.12:20
darwini rsynced /etc/apt/sources.list* from a Devuan PC that doesn't have this problem... the one that had the problem still does12:20
djphsources.list doesn't contain gpg keys12:21
darwini also rsynced /etc/apt/trusted.gpg ... same problem12:21
rrqdid that rsync include --delete ?12:21
darwinyes12:22
djphthis is a 2 second fix, look at the librewolf entry, and see what key it's referencing12:22
djphand go grab that file ...12:22
darwinand the ones that it says NO_PUBKEY seem random12:22
darwinit's not just LibreWolf12:22
djphso then grab ALL of the missing keyfiles.12:23
darwinit's maybe 15 different ones, random each time12:23
djph*sigh*12:23
darwinwell, I just did from the other PC12:23
darwini did also download some of them as .asc and install them12:24
rrqdo you use a proxy?12:24
darwinno12:24
rrqand this happens with "apt-get update" after fixing the sources.list* to be correct?12:24
darwinthis time it was Google Earth, WaterFox, but not LibreWolf (though still in /etc/apt/sources.list.d )12:25
darwinyes12:25
darwinnext time it might not be some of these rather than other; tried this about 10 or 20 or 30+ times today12:25
rrqso sources.list* includes other than devuan repository points?12:25
darwinno12:26
darwinnot sources.list , but sources.list.d12:26
darwinsame on both PCs12:26
rrqso you need to have the associated keys for those repository points as well12:26
rrqit all concerns the signings of the various InRelease files from the repository points12:27
darwindidn't keys used to be somewhere else when you installed them with gpg?12:38
darwinlike gpg --keyserver 'keys.openpgp.org' --recv-keys 662E3CDD6FE329002D0CA5BB40339DD82B12EF1612:39
djphthose would get stuffed into your keyring12:40
darwini only use a physical keyring12:40
djphOK ..12:44
ZeeNeepGoodmorning.15:47
ZeeNeepOn windows I had to downgrade to nvidia470 drivers in order to use a version of ollama built for my gpu. (reason) i cant seem to get nvidia470 and cuda5 (not12) installed on devuan, one or the other ends up being whats in the repo. Is there a right way to install nvidia470/cuda5 on devuan daed? >:D15:50
djphIt's probably a case of "download both from nVidia, and get compiling"15:52
ZeeNeepAfter numerous attempts I can get one of those installed, but then the other results in chaos.  attempted nvidia470 then cuda toolkit  then visa versa. >:D15:53
ZeeNeepThats where I get stuck, One install acts like the other install is bad and wants to get rid of it and somehow I end up with 470/cuda12 or 535/cuda515:54
ZeeNeepI can see the 470 drivers I want in bullseye repos. I dont think thats the way though.15:54
ZeeNeep*bows*15:56
rrqseems like both of those are in chimaera15:58
darwini figured it out15:59
UsL'memory test' on 'daedalus-live boot menu' is missing it says. I was just curious what would show.16:04
UsLrefractainstaller-wrapper.sh isn't an executeable16:09
fsmithredUsL, the name is wrong16:10
fsmithredhuh?16:10
fsmithredyou can't start the graphical installer?16:10
UsLI can chmod it x I guess16:10
UsLoh, I didn't see the window. I could mark it executeable. There is refracta running now.16:11
fsmithredoh just the desktop file is not executable?16:12
UsLyeah, the install devuan icon on the desktop that points to it wasn't an executeable it said. But the dialouge window asked nicely.16:13
UsLI just didn't see it first. All good now.16:13
fsmithredThat seems to happen with the desktop icons in live iso and I've also seen it in new installs.16:16
fsmithrednot just the installer icon16:16
AlverstoneBy the way why not Calamares installer? AFAIK it is the best of what is available today16:26
UsLwow, I haven't done this in ages.. If I want english locale, but not all the sub par ISO units/standards that comes with it. Is that smthng I can fix afterwards16:28
UsLI have a faint memory of doing it, just not where or how16:33
djphUsL: you mean leaving most of the locale bits to "local" customs, but just changing hte language?16:39
UsLyes.16:40
djphpretty sure that's doable by setting LANG or LANGUAGE and leaving the other stuff alone16:45
UsLyeah, that's the faint memory I have of it. I've been doing dist-upgrades for far too long. Need to brush up every now and then..16:47
fsmithreddpkg-reconfigure locales ; dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration ; dpkg-reconfigure tzdata17:07
fsmithred^^^ you might want to do some of those17:07
fsmithredthere's also setxkbmap to set the keyboard on the desktop17:08
greenjeanstimely subject, just added a menu entry last night to one of my projects to reconfigure the keyboard, thanks fsmithred I stole a couple lines from Installer to make it pretty, never knew about the "fgnome" arg17:10
fsmithredlol17:11
greenjeansre-did my tzdata calendar command too, much nicer now17:11
greenjeansplus I kinda just enjoy typing "fgnome", lol17:11
fsmithredI recall disabling the fgnome bit because it made windows that went off-screen17:11
fsmithredwell, just the buttons went off-screen17:12
greenjeansyikes17:12
greenjeansworks great now though17:12
fsmithredyeah, that name does have a certain appeal17:12
fsmithredit might need a hyphen17:12
greenjeansF-gnome, yep that's even better ;)17:13
greenjeansOnly thing that bugs my OCD, is the first window that pops up, it's window title is "Unnamed window", the subsequent windows have appropriate window-titles, but that's in the config scripts somewhere17:20
UsLah, thanks, fsmithred. My memory starts to comeback now (dpkg-(stuff)) I'll add this to my own documentation now.17:22
UsLwhat is a normal mem usage from a live daedalus install with xfce?19:05
UsLI remember ascii. It used 290 MB on a 4 GB RAM system.19:05
UsLThis is also a 4 GB system and it's currently on 730 MB ram usage. No windows/programs opened.19:07
greenjeansI don't use xfce, but in Mate it's about 650-670 mb at idle19:14
greenjeansMy openbox stuff does better, about 500-55019:15
greenjeansMy original jessie-based Openbox Devuan's idled at around 125-13019:15
greenjeansIt also depends on how mem usage is getting measured19:16
greenjeansWhat shows in task manager is different from what shows in my conky display19:17
UsLindeed. So, xfce is more demanding than mate now? That's kind of a bummer. Xfce used to be lean19:27
greenjeansLot depends on how many other programs are installed in addition to the main architecture, my openbox mini idles at around 450, while the max jumps to 550 or so19:29
greenjeansMy machine is old too, that might have some bearing on ram usage, older slower ram and cpu19:30
UsLI have 190 processes running. I guess I could trim that down some. Probably somethings I have no use for on this client system19:35
XFaCE"landley" was here?19:45
XFaCERob Landley?19:45
XFaCEAnyway, I successfully bootstrapped Devuan to a ZFS pool via Slackware... other than some keyring messing-around it was fine19:46
XFaCEQuite pleasant indeed19:46
n4diropenbox idling with 500 MB sounds like a lot. fluxbox here idles at like 130, perhaps 150. xfce should be like 400.19:51
UsLn4dir: I am almost double that..19:56
n4diri didn't fully understand which DE or WM19:57
UsLxfce19:57
n4dirand you use the mentioned 730 MB right after starting it?19:58
UsLyes19:58
n4dirwell, first of all i am on old-stable. Also i might have had refracta in mind, regarding those 400 MB. Let me quickly exit fluxbox and check19:58
UsLit's okay. I still have 2 GB left19:59
greenjeansIt depends on how you set up Openbox, lots of folks set it up to be super-lightweight, mine are in contrast VERY cushy for OB.19:59
n4dirUsL: htop reports 360 MB, ps_mem.py 22620:00
greenjeansAnd again, that's just what conky is reporting, conky itself takes 10-20 mb itself when running20:00
n4dirnot sure if i disabled a heck lot, it's been ages i used xfce20:00
gnarfacei thought that any given live image would be expected to use something greater than 100% of the size of the live image itself in memory?20:01
gnarfacebecause basically to boot it's gotta uncompress the whole thing and load it into a ram disk20:01
greenjeanstask manager on my OB installs shows much less, 275-350 or so20:01
gnarfacehmmm....20:01
greenjeansonly if you choose install to ram at prompt20:01
greenjeansstandard live only loads basic components20:02
greenjeansthen loads other stuff as needed20:02
gnarfacewhat about swap? i was a aware that at some point live images were able to use the default swap partition, are we sure the rest just isn't ending up there?20:02
gnarfacei did not hear about this "only loading parts you use" thing, with regard to live images20:03
greenjeansyep, that's the default load, you have to choose load to ram at the isolinux or syslinux boot screen to get a full load20:04
greenjeansweirdly enough, my projects when booted live, actually use less ram at idle than installed versions do20:04
greenjeansEverything does run quicker if you load it all to ram, nice and quick, especially if you compressed with zstd20:05
UsLokay, I may not been completely truthful there. I did enable some widgets in the panel like temps and network activity. Apparently those gobble up a bunch.20:06
n4diryeah, the stuff in the xfce panel uses quite a bit, the ones i checked. Probably in all other panels, like mate and stuff, as well20:07
UsLyes, every one use about ~30-25 MB and I loaded in 5 of them20:07
n4diralso i don't use a display-manager, which uses RAM all the time too.20:07
UsLyikes.20:07
n4dirso in general i use the PC to use really as little as possible.20:08
n4dirstuff like the panel-plugins and the display-manager i gave up so long ago, i didn't remember it earlier anymore20:08
greenjeansI use conky for that instead of panel widgets20:09
UsLyeah.. Xorg is 110 and xfwm4 9820:09
n4dirwhich web-browser you use? (you said your machine has 4 Gigs, right?)20:10
UsLI might install conky. This was a bit excessive..20:10
UsLfirefox.20:11
n4dirworks ok, kinda, i assume?20:11
UsLsure. I haven't liberated it yet.20:11
UsLBut still does okay20:11
UsL: )20:11
n4diri got 4 Gig machines, one perhaps even 3, and it kinda is ok, but it is half a year ago i booted any of those. Regaring firefox20:12
n4dirall the rest works well anyway20:12
greenjeansmy machine is 4 gigs too, in practice I almost never max out the ram, even with a lot of tabs open20:13
UsLand then you open a single youtube tab and awaay we goo20:14
n4diri see. I don't use more than 4 or 5 tabs anyway. So i wouldn't know20:14
greenjeansuuugh, youtube, yeah I stay away20:14
UsLbut, yeah. yt-dlp and that fancy terminal thing I saw will fix that20:14
greenjeansTalk about websites that bog down, try using Home Depot's website sometime...arrgh it's bad20:18
djphyup20:23
XFaCEhagbard: plasma41: I think I'll stick with usr-merge off for now with Daedalus20:39
XFaCEUnless there's a compelling reason to switch now?20:39
gnarfacethere's not, and half the packages in excalibur just re-copy themselves back into /bin and /sbin to unbreak themselves anyway20:40
gnarfaceit's a stupid massive waste of time20:41
hagbardIt think it does not hurt to do the usrmerge, and it is easier to do that from the beginning, than later.20:42
XFaCEgnarface: Yes, but have you considered if I up and decided to turn Devuan into an immutable system for no good reason?20:42
plasma41XFaCE: usr-merge is a prerequisite of migrating from Daedalus to Excalibur, but AIUI, Daedalus works unmerged.20:42
XFaCEYeah, the default for deboostrap is still no usr merge for daedalus20:43
gnarfaceXFaCE: i'm not clear on whether that matters or not20:44
XFaCEgnarface: I was alluding to the core reasons why usr-merge is being pushed on the corporate level20:44
XFaCEplasma41:  Also... given the less than stellar reputation of migrations between Debian stable releases, at that point I'd probably reinstall20:45
XFaCEThough that comes from reputation mentioned by others rather than personal experience, so please let me know if that fear is unwarranted20:46
gnarfacei think in the case of usrmerge, the fear is warranted. i'm just counting on the world ending before i'll have to deal with it.20:47
XFaCESorry, I should mention the "fear" in this case is in regards to oldstable->stable upgrades, not usr-merge in particular20:48
XFaCEusr-merge doesn't make me afraid as much as annoyed20:48
XFaCEMy conclusion is outside immutable distro frameworks it's a mostly pointless semantic change for non-immutable distros20:49
gnarfacei classify it as vandalism20:51
XFaCEgnarface: Lennart Standard Base20:54
golinuxgnarface said ". . . i'm just counting on the world ending before i'll have to deal with it."21:03
golinuxat 82, I am familiar with that line of thinking . . .21:04
golinuxBut I think the odds are we'll have to deal with it sooner or later . . .21:04
djphgolinux: what're you dealing with?21:15
gnarfacewe're talking about usrmerge, and whether it's advisable to allow it on a daedalus install or not21:17
gnarfacesince as of daedalus it's still optional21:17
gnarfaceso the question is whether to get it out of the way before the next release upgrade, or just wait21:18
UsLok, I am a bit confused. doing apt update -> apt upgrade -y and then grub asks me where to install it self. /dev/sda and/or /dev/sda121:35
gnarfaceyou usually want /dev/sda21:36
UsLright.21:37
UsLbut, shouldn't grub now that21:38
gnarfaceit doesn't know whether you want to install/update grub for the whole machine or just this one install21:39
UsLah, I see.21:39
gnarfacegrub can boot to other grubs21:39
UsLsure can.21:39
UsLthanks, I'll run downstairs and continue the configuration and polish..21:39
gnarfacenp21:40
DPAPeople still use the old bios boot method instead of EFI?!?21:41
gnarfacei still do, lots of old machines still out there...21:41
gnarfacelots more that still allow "legacy" boot mode, and it usually causes less problems21:42
gnarfaceUsL: it's not EFI, is it?21:42
fsmithredFWIW, I did a debootstrap install of ascii when it was still in testing and it was a year before I noticed that I had merged usr21:42
fsmithredon the other hand, I got bitten by it in the past week building a live-iso. At the end of the build, two custom scripts get copied to /lib/live/config/ and that wiped out the symlink.21:43
fsmithredthere were just the two scripts in that directory. All the rest were in /usr/lib/live/config but they didn't run.21:44
UsLoh, yeah. Old 2009 laptop. It's a wonder what an ssd can do to those old machines21:46
UsLno efi insight : )21:46
fsmithredI have a 32-bit netbook I still use for some things.21:46
