arno11mkf: hi, could you please check something in your daedalus ?14:04
siceloWizzup: btw how could i resolve the following: https://paste.debian.net/1364001/  ...14:15
Wizzuptry dist-upgrade first14:19
siceloah yes, definitely a good idea14:25
arno11(after dist-upgrade and meta stuff, the correct version is 3.2.6-8+4m7 for libgconf-2-4)14:25
sicelohmm, still same output14:25
arno11on my device, iirc, i first updated meta from ham and then dist-upgrade14:26
Wizzuparno11: so did it solve the problem or not?14:35
Wizzupoh, sorry14:35
arno11np14:36
Wizzupnames are equally long and on my black on white terminal I can't actually see the name when I get highlighted :D14:37
Wizzupsicelo: what about apt-get install -f14:37
sicelosame :-/14:48
WizzupI wonder if something was manually installed14:53
Wizzupmaybe just remove the pkgs with dpkg -r --force-all and then apt-get install -f ?14:53
siceloWizzup: thank you. that worked15:47
arno11Wizzup: weird, qalendar update didn't come through ham/apt-worker. i did apt update and then it worked15:49
sicelodpkg: python-is-python2: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you requested: hildon-meta-core depends on python-is-python2.15:49
sicelothis is correct/normal?15:49
arno11seems something i still wrong with meta15:50
arno11*is15:50
Wizzupsicelo: ham is not ok when it comes to pinning15:51
WizzupI don't think it honours it15:52
WizzupI would ask not to use ham yet for these dist-upgrade like things15:52
Wizzuppython-is-python2 should just have been removed, I wonder if you somehow got an older hildon-meta-core package.15:52
* sicelo is using apt15:53
arno11Wizzup still doesn't see nicknames apparently15:53
siceloyes this is a frankenstein installation, hehe. it's PP image that I put on L5. we upgraded it to Daedalus very early (with fmg) while tracking down the xorg issue15:54
Wizzuplol15:56
Wizzupsicelo: are the chimaera repos still enabled15:56
Wizzupin ham or /etc/apt/sources.list.d15:57
Wizzupor /etc/apt/sources.list15:57
sicelono, it's all daedalus15:57
Wizzuparno11: yeah I thought the python-is-python2 was from the same user :D15:57
Wizzupsry15:57
arno11np15:58
arno11dsc_: thx for qalendar update, perfectly fine on n900 screen16:05
dsc_arno11: nice16:07
arno11sicelo: you should check your meta pkgs versions imo16:11
arno11hildon-meta should be 2.16.1 and hildon-meta-core 2.1716:19
arno11and indeed python-is-python2 is still there in h-m-c 2.1516:21
Wizzupthat's bad if daedalus16:23
Wizzupcc freemangordon16:23
arno11Wizzup: remember sicelo's install is experimental16:25
arno11by default, daedalus needs fmg's last meta update16:26
arno11at least, that's how i fixed wrong versioning from a fresh install16:26
Wizzupoh, yeah... experimental is not to be used mostly/imo16:30
arno11when i say experimental, i mean that's custom stuff for L516:31
Wizzupah16:33
Wizzupfreemangordon: looks like libseat is not happy with udev hwdm reload / trigger16:55
WizzupI lost my touchscreen input device because it's not allowed to re-open it16:55
Wizzup[ 56131.355] (**) cpcap-pwrbutton: Applying InputClass "libinput keyboard catchall"16:56
Wizzup[ 56131.355] (II) Using input driver 'libinput' for 'cpcap-pwrbutton'16:56
Wizzup[ 56131.355] (II) seatd_libseat try open /dev/input/event316:56
Wizzup[ 56131.387] (EE) [libseat/backend/logind.c:137] Could not take device: Device already taken16:56
Wizzup[ 56131.387] (EE) seatd_libseat open /dev/input/event3 (-1) failed: -1116:56

Wizzup[ 56131.388] (EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/event3 Permission denied.16:56
arno11that sucks17:14
arno11btw new daedalus n900 img is almost done. fingers crossed for swap :P17:17
arno11but we still have wrong fstab17:18
Wizzupyes17:23
arno11it is clearly visible in jenkins console: indeed arm-sdk overrides fstab after leste-config17:24
Wizzupyeah, I know where it does it17:25
WizzupI'm down with a cold the last few days, not able to think that straight - I'll fix it today or tomorrow17:25
arno11ah ok17:26
freemangordonWizzup: sorry, I am not sure I understand what the issues are17:38
Wizzupfreemangordon: if you upgrade leste-config-mapphone, the postinst will tell udev to reload its hw db17:39
freemangordonah17:39
Wizzupthis will trigger xorg to reload its input devices17:39
Wizzupand now the ts stops working because xorg can't reload it somehow17:39
freemangordonsomething seatd related I'd guess17:39
Wizzupseatd is the devuan specific thing right?17:39
freemangordonmhm17:39
Wizzupas opposed to elogind?17:39
freemangordonas opposed to systemd17:40
Wizzupstrange17:40
WizzupI have elogind on my system and I don't have systemd17:40
WizzupI never needed seatd17:40
freemangordonwell, it is libseat actually, not seatd17:46
freemangordonwe don;t have seatd running17:46
freemangordonmaybe try to contact seatd maintainer, he was quite responsive17:47
arno11Wizzup: cool, new n900 daedalus img is ok with correct meta versions, and no error at all :)17:50
Wizzupif/when we also want to run on debian, there will be no libseat right?17:50
Wizzuparno11: good, so just fstab remaining then17:50
arno11yep exactly17:50
LeePenWizzup: libseat and seatd are available in Debian as well.17:52
LeePenweston and all the wlroots wayland compositors use libseat.17:53
freemangordonarno11: so, is there any issue or not?17:56
arno11you mean with the img ?17:56
WizzupLeePen: cool, ok, sounds good17:57
sicelowell if you run debian (with systemd, to be specific) you won't need libseat, of course. it's only needed if you don't run systemd (which is also possible with debian itself)17:59
freemangordonarno11: yes18:01
arno11freemangordon: the img is ok but we need to build a new one with a reverted commit to get sd swap working18:01
Wizzupsicelo: hm it's never asked me during the installer18:02
siceloask what? to  not install systemd? well, systemd is the default init, so you need to specifically choose another init if you want it, https://wiki.debian.org/Init#Changing_the_init_system_-_at_installation_time18:06
Wizzupit doesn't say where in the install wizard/steps to do this18:07
Wizzupah, you have to manually chroot, ok18:08
LeePenThe choose-init udeb is Devuan only. Debian won't accept it.18:08
WizzupShame18:09
Wizzupdevuan is mostly debian anyway, so I've mostly just been using devuan18:10
siceloLeePen: did someone try to send it to debian?18:11
LeePenWe made enquiries and the systemd-zealots were clear it wouldn't be accepted.18:11
LeePenI might try again for the forky cycle.18:12
sicelojust submit the package :-)18:12
LeePenToo late for trixie. The toolchain freeze has started.18:12
sicelodebian's stance is clear - systemd is default, but other inits are welcome.18:12
LeePenSome would say unwelcome ;)18:13
sicelothey're always welcome to say what they want. speech is free in 2025 ;-)18:13
LeePenYes, but practically it is very hard work.18:13
sicelothat wiki page clearly shows that other inits are being used and receive testing18:13
sicelohard, how/why?18:14
LeePenBecause, the supporters of systemd who wanted that to be the one and only continue actively to remove the infra other inits need and use.18:15
LeePenLSB initscripts, cron jobs...18:15
sicelothat's not debian's fault or problem though :-)18:15
sicelodebian can't help it if gnome wants systemd18:15
siceloactually that's the bind pmOS found themselves in ... hence they're doing systemd too18:15
LeePenIt is nothing to do with gnome, it is just that individual maintainers are allowed to remove alternative init support if they want.18:16
siceloi was just making an example with gnome18:17
LeePenYes, I know. My point is that it isn't to do with upstreams that choose only to support systemd (of which there are only a few) it is existing support in Debian that is being recklessly removed.18:18
sicelocan i see a concrete example of that? (maintainer maliciously removing support for alternative init)18:18
LeePenYes. give me a moment18:18
LeePenThis was the most recent: https://bugs.debian.org/110003518:19
siceloi don't see a problem there ... maintainer is saying he won't spend time on non-systemd. but he very clearly indicates that he will "accept a tested patch", https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1100035#7218:22
LeePenOr for cron jobs: https://bugs.debian.org/105599418:23
siceloand looks like, eventually someone sends a good patch, and problem is fixed. true, maybe the maintainer jumped the gun18:23
siceloand didn't communicate properly ahead of time18:23
LeePen(I sent the patch!)18:23
LeePenThat is why I said it is a lot of work!18:24
sicelothings need work, no? the same thing will happen in pmOS. people who choose to remain on openRC will have to put in the work, which pmOS promises to accept18:25
WizzupI think maintainers not willing to support other files is following the direction to the letter and not ideal18:25
LeePenThat is the issue in Debian, there is no obligation on a maintainer to accept a good, tested patch with offer of on-going support.18:26
siceloboth bugs show maintainers accepting your patches though :-/18:28
LeePenNot the mdadm one.18:28
LeePenHe 'fixed' it by adding a NEWs entry. It still doesn't work.18:28
LeePenActually a debconf message.18:29
siceloyou appear to be a DD yourself (basing on your @debian.org addy) ... i'm sure there's structure for taking this further? :-)18:31
siceloThank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you18:31
siceloand the maintainer will reopen the bug report if appropriate.18:31
sicelohave further comments please address them to 1100035@bugs.debian.org,18:31
LeePenThere is and it has been tried and refused.18:31
* sicelo would like to be a DD someday (soon)18:32
LeePenGreat, come along!18:32
siceloi've been messing with ofono in debian (with fmg's help)18:34
freemangordonWizzup: still, all this should not prevent you from contacting seatd maintainer, see https://github.com/kennylevinsen/seatd, "how to discuss" at the end of the page19:46
arno11Wizzup: btw @fstab and arm-sdk, maybe we should remove zram22:25
arno11*as well22:25
