gryTemporary failure resolving 'deb.devuan.org'10:38
grywhat do i do with this please?10:38
gryi would like to install upgrades, and a new package :-/10:38
gryfor some reason replacing some lan ip with 8.8.8.8 in /etc/resolv.conf works, but i'm confused why my original dns server liked many things except the deb.devuan.org ...10:39
djphgry: you'd need to look at your DNS server's logs / how it's retrieving entries.10:48
gryi have a laptop with an sd card slot, but when i insert sd card, 'dmesg' has no new entries10:52
djphsounds like the sdcard reader is dead10:52
djphor perhaps the kernel module isn't loaded10:53
gryi will use 8.8.8.8 nameserver for now and debug the other one later10:53
gryi think kernel module but i don't know which10:53
gryit's a new laptop, so it never was10:53
djphlsusb should find it, so should be "relatively" easy to go from there10:54
Hurgotrongry: deb.devuan.org has large answers and therefore need tcp in addition to the usual udp for DNS. Some DNS servers don't handle that correctly10:55
gryBus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub10:55
gryBus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0aaa Intel Corp.10:55
gryBus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub10:55
gryi see thanks Hurgotron10:55
gryi insert sd card in sd slot -> nothing happens10:58
gryi insert sd card into a smartphone, connect it to laptop via a usb cable -> nothing happens10:58
grytried listing /dev/sd* -> no entries (expected sda for internal disk, sdb for external disk)11:00
djphWhat's the phone?11:00
djphalso, what's the internal hdd?11:00
grysamsung galaxy a1211:00
gryno idea what internal hdd; it's a nvme or sata, and i know it's ssd11:00
djphhave you turned the phone on for "USB for MassStorage" or "USB MTP" or whatever their terminology is now11:00
gryyes11:00
grybrb11:00
djphchances are with a "new" laptop, it's nvme, so /dev/nvme*11:01
rrqan sdcard may come up as /dev/mmcblk...11:50
rrqlsblk and blkid as well as fdisk are good at finding block devices11:52
rrqthere would be entries at /sys/class/blokc/* too11:52
rrqthat's /sys/class/block/*11:52
djphI'v enot seen them as mmcblk ... maybe I don't have a spiffy enough card / reader11:55
gryyes, /dev/nvme* ok :-)11:56
gryls /dev/ > 1.txt11:56
gry(unplugged smart phone)11:56
gryls /dev/ > 2.txt11:56
grydiff 1.txt 2.txt11:56
gry...... returns no difference o.o11:57
djphfor the phone, what "USB for data transfer" option(s) do you get?11:57
gryfound one difference after changing mdoe from 'transfering images' to 'transfering files/ android auto'12:02
grynew item: /dev/libmtp-1-4: symbolic link to bus/usb/001/00712:02
gryyet, with 'pmount' installed, it doesn't show up in file manager (thunar) sidebar; nor in /media/gry/12:02
grykind of my first time with devuan; in debian it auto-mounted itself12:03
gry~$ pmount libmtp-1-4 phone112:05
gryError: /dev/bus/usb/001/007 is not a block device12:05
rrqso with debian, the card was recognized in the computer's card slot?12:06
rrqgry: ^12:07
gryyes, with an adapter12:08
gryfrom tiny sd card to some larger sd card12:08
grybut yes12:08
gryit was another laptop also12:09
grydidn't try on this one12:09
gryplus. now i have the smartphone plugged into usb via normal usb-a or whatever it is called12:09
rrqforget the smartphone.. that's an mtp connection and not a block device, and probably the phone software won't export the card anyhow12:10
rrqdid you ensure that the card sl;ot on this computer is enabled in bios?12:11
gryno idea12:12
grymoved from smartphone-over-usb to sdcard-directly, got "pmount mmcblk0p1 phone1" working ok12:14
grynow files are visible12:14
rrqyes sounds good12:15
gryecho "pmount mmcblk0p1 phone1" > utils-sdcard-mount.sh12:15
grynow i can forget about it for a while12:15
grythanks for your help12:16
devuaninstallergHello. I managed to install devuan live iso yesterday with diskencryption. But I have to provide the crypt passw two times13:25
devuaninstallerg One for grub and again for the disc itself.13:25
devuaninstallergThis was with legacy13:26
devuaninstallergWith MBR. I think I want to try again but with gpt. Does the efi partition need to be fat32 always?13:28
rrqyes13:28
devuaninstallergOkay. And gpt needs to use uefi?13:29
fsmithredyou could just make a keyfile for the second partition13:29
fsmithredoh, it's a little more complicated if you encrypted /boot13:30
devuaninstallergOkay. And that's true for gpt as well?13:30
rrqthe second decryption is for the kernel to access the disk13:31
fsmithreduefi wants gpt (I think it's possible without gpt)13:31
devuaninstallergI don't need to encrypt booti think13:31
fsmithredthat's what leads to needing a grub password13:31
rrqold uefi implementations were limited to use gpt, but uefi standard allows dos partition table13:31
fsmithredand if you want gpt wiht legacy boot you need a special bios_grub partition13:32
rrqand most newer uefi bios allows either/both13:32
fsmithredif you use the live installer and want /boot to be unencrypted, you need to make sure you created a separate partition for /boot13:33
devuaninstallergOkay. Thanks for clarifying things13:34
devuaninstallergSo, I'll try uefi with gpt separate boot with fat32 and efi.13:35
devuaninstallergAnd encrypt the rest.13:35
devuaninstallerggpt does 4096 sector size I gathered while MBR does not13:36
rrqnot sure about that one;13:39
devuaninstallergI don't know if this web chat will drop me soon but I'll return with good news I hope.13:40
devuaninstallergIts a dreadful HP pro book13:40
gryok13:42
fsmithredno not fat32 boot,13:47
fsmithredfat32 for efi partition, some linux filesystem for /boot13:48
fsmithredshit13:48
devuaninstallergwhat is udevd specified group 'sgx' unknown?14:08
djphsounds like a typo in a rule14:20
fsmithreddevuaninstallerg, you left before I posted - don't use fat32 for /boot partition, only for efi partition. They are not the same.14:20
devuaninstallergI get dropped all the the14:21
devuaninstallergtime14:21
fsmithredouch14:21
djphwhat client are you using, devuaninstallerg ?14:21
devuaninstallerghttps://web.libera.chat/14:22
devuaninstallergI thought efi resided in /boot/efi14:24
devuaninstallerghttps://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=15  I found this post14:26
devuaninstallergAfter I came here first14:26
fsmithredefi partition gets mounted to /boot/efi14:29
fsmithredand legacy boot will work with gpt if you create a special partition.14:31
fsmithredAt least 1MB in size, no filesystem and flag bios_grub (in gparted) or ef02 (in gdisk)14:31
fsmithredbut I can't guarantee that it works on that HP14:32
devuaninstallergYeah, HP seems to make it harder than necessary14:33
devuaninstallergBut that guide I found on dev1galaxy is okay to follow or is it outdated?14:35
fsmithredif you have a similar model/age computer, it's probably still good14:36
fsmithredotherwise I would try to fix other things before renaming the bootloader to M$14:36
devuaninstallergSo, this is what I want:14:38
devuaninstallergGPT, non encrypted boot and the rest encrypted.14:39
devuaninstallergThat's all  :-)14:39
fsmithredok14:39
devuaninstallergIts the how that seems to get in my way14:39
fsmithredif you boot uefi, you'll need an efi partition in addition to what you have14:40
fsmithredif you boot legacy you'll need a bios_grub partition in addition to what you have14:40
fsmithredif you think you might put the hard drive into another box that boots the opposite of whatever you decide to do, you can have both of those additional partitions, but only one will get used14:41
fsmithredsince a lot of motherboards don't follow standards and don't do well with legacy boot, you might be better off doing uefi. YMMV14:42
devuaninstallergAnd that efi partition goes into /boot/efi but should not be fat32?14:42
fsmithredbackwards14:42
devuaninstallergI will never put this sad anywhere else14:42
fsmithredefi partition is separate from boot partition14:42
fsmithredefi partition must be fat3214:42
fsmithredthe /boot partition should be a linux filesystem, probably ext2,3,414:43
devuaninstallergOkay, so the guide is wrong. Where doi put efi partition?14:43
fsmithredI usually put it at the beginning14:43
fsmithred120-200MB14:43
fsmithredis more than enough14:44
fsmithredyou'll need more for /boot because kernels are getting a lot bigger14:44
devuaninstallergIn its own partition?14:44
fsmithredyou need three partitions14:44
fsmithredone for efi, one for /boot and one for the OS14:44
fsmithredand you'll encrypt that last one14:45
devuaninstallergOkay, so: /efi14:45
fsmithredoh, if you want swap, then there are some more choices14:45
devuaninstallerg /boot14:45
fsmithredand /14:46
devuaninstallergOkay14:46
fsmithredare you still using the live installer or the netinstall iso?14:46
devuaninstallergSwap is fine as file in root14:46
fsmithredcool14:47
devuaninstallergOkay, I'll try this approach then  :-)14:48
devuaninstallerg:-)14:48
fsmithredare you still using the live installer or the netinstall iso?14:48
devuaninstallergThis is the full installer14:48
fsmithredok14:48
devuaninstallergNet is no option because broadcom and only wifi14:49
fsmithredfull installer meaning from the installer iso directory and not one of the live isos?14:50
devuaninstallergYes14:50
fsmithredok, sounds good14:51
devuaninstallergdevuan_daedalus_5.0.1_amd64_desktop.iso14:51
fsmithredyeah, you might need to add a few things from the dvd after the base install.14:52
fsmithredand also will need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list after you get the network up14:52
fsmithredso you can install from repo instead of from dvd14:52
devuaninstallergright, and to get those broadcom drivers I guess14:53
fsmithredthey're in the iso14:53
fsmithredoh14:53
devuaninstallergOh, good14:53
fsmithredno they are not. the installer is.14:53
fsmithredsome of the broadcoms are installable from repo. Some require network to get the actual driver.14:54
devuaninstallergOkay14:54
fsmithredoh, and if it asks you at the beginning of the install to insert some media to supply firmware, you should ignore it unless you actually have that firmwware14:55
fsmithredmuch easier to use a wired connection first14:56
fsmithredif wired is not possible, then you might need to get the firmware first. Do you know which broadcom device you have?14:56
devuaninstallergRight14:56
fsmithredI need to leave. Check the debian wiki for installing the wireless stuff. It's the same.14:58
devuaninstallergI'll give /efi 120MB /boot 1 GB and the rest /14:58
fsmithredsounds good14:58
devuaninstallergThanks for your effort fsmithread :-)14:58
fsmithredyw and good luck14:58
devuaninstallergI appreciate it14:58
ximon49950075a5baecd6a1800d1c980e20b448094585f18866748948a57f21884d4fd0 is this correct?18:20
ximon49shasum18:20
fsmithredximon49, are you asking someone in particular or just throwing that out to anyone to answer?18:36
ximon49fsmithred nah just throwing it out18:55
ximon49:D18:55
ximon49what is the easiest way installing telegram-desktop on devuan?18:56
debdogdownload it there: https://desktop.telegram.org/ extract it, run it18:57
fsmithredjust so you know, none of us has memorized all the sha256sums. You might want to mention exactly which iso you're talking about.18:57
ximon49excalibur18:58
fsmithredapt install telegram-desktop18:58
fsmithred^^^ that won't work in excalibur18:58
fsmithredthe package isn't there. It's in ceres now. It will either move into excalibur in 10 days or less or it will be held for some bugs. Check debian bug tracker.18:59
ximon49fsmithred isnt it smart to make a devuan testing unstable mix?19:27
fsmithredximon49, yes if you know how to do pinning it's a good way to go. You have testing as the default and pull stuff from unstable if needed. Use codenames excalibur and ceres not testing and unstable.19:31
ximon49nice fsmithred did the tum tutorial and it works20:16
ximon49:D20:16
ted-iousWhat is the tum tutorial?21:23
fsmithredI have no idea.21:59
