| neoncortex | wait, it is not the system, but my file that is .. corrupted, I guess? I had a fine with some utf-8 that I use a script to type them automatically, and now instead it shows a '?' in place of some chars. | 00:31 |
|---|---|---|
| gnarface | neoncortex: are you on daedalus right now? i haven't noticed any such changes... | 05:35 |
| gnarface | can you think of anything you might have changed? like maybe a different terminal program? | 05:35 |
| gnarface | check what the output of the locale command says | 05:39 |
| gnarface | (and keep in mind firefox has its own separate internal utf8 support, so just because it's working there doesn't mean the rest of the system is correctly configured to handle it) | 05:40 |
| paculino | Yes, thank you fsmithred, that method is far better than chmod anyway. I haven't rebooted yet though. That always feels like a gamble since I can only use mokutils for the bios. | 08:46 |
| neoncortex | gnarface: yes, deadalus, but it is not a problem with the system, but a file of mine that somehow got currupted, or something like this. | 09:30 |
| gnarface | maybe got opened and then re-saved as the wrong character set? | 09:31 |
| neoncortex | I guess. | 09:35 |
| gnarface | well some old/misconfigured stuff might confuse utf8 for iso8859-1, but you might be able to fix it by just re-saving it as utf8 using something that supports it | 09:37 |
| gnarface | if whatever did that stripped out "binary characters" though it might be a lost cause... | 09:38 |
| neoncortex | gnarface: luckilly I have a backup. Probably I have pressed the wrong button in vim xD | 09:52 |
| neoncortex | I was beating my head for like a hour trying to figure out why fontconfig was not working. But anyway, my bad. | 09:54 |
| raub | How do I force a dhcp lease renewal without dhclient or restating the entire network? | 13:47 |
| gnarface | afaik there's no reliable way to do it unless you're also in control of the dhcp server | 13:49 |
| gnarface | you shouldn't have to restart the whole network either way though, you should only have to restart your dhcp client | 13:50 |
| gnarface | i think it stores the last used address somewhere... did you try just deleting that file and restarting the client? | 13:50 |
| raub | gnarface: by "entire network" I meant the entire network stack in the client | 13:50 |
| raub | That is what I get by not being able to type | 13:50 |
| gnarface | it really depends on how hard the dhcp server tries to enforce the lease | 13:51 |
| gnarface | there's no real standard for that behavior | 13:51 |
| gnarface | by default your dhcp client will first ask to use the same one it used before though, i think | 13:52 |
| djph | it will | 13:52 |
| gnarface | and there's no way to force the server to allow that, either, but also no guarantee it will just give you a different one otherwise | 13:53 |
| djph | raub: what are you *really* trying to do? | 13:53 |
| raub | Oh well. I have an old centos7 vm I can turn on then. If I had to reboot it 10x in a row, it will not hurt my feelings | 13:54 |
| gnarface | raub: if it's your ISP's hosted DHCP server there's probably nothing you can really do, but if it's just in your home router you can probably force it by logging into the admin console and doing... something | 14:06 |
| gnarface | (also, if it's your home router you're probably not even strictly required to use DHCP in the first place; you could just disable it and set any ip manually) | 14:07 |
| msiism | I'm having a few problems with NoScript in Firefox ESR since about two weeks ago in Devuan Daedalus. | 23:20 |
| msiism | When I start up the browser, it opens a NoScript-related tab but then closes it immediately. Sometimes two such tabs are opened and then quickly closed. | 23:21 |
| msiism | Also, NoScript constantly shows me option for an URL that I'm not visiting. | 23:22 |
| msiism | By that I mean: It lists this URL in its blocked resources list for no apparent reason. | 23:23 |
