| golinux | I just upgraded my beowulf VM and got this little surprise. I had chosen not to merge during the installation and set up linkages for that configuration: | 02:55 |
|---|---|---|
| golinux | The PATH for running dpkg is now configured by the option DPkg::Path, and defaults to "/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin/:bin". Previous behavior of not changing PATH may be restored by setting the option to an empty string. | 02:56 |
| golinux | That's going to need some translation. | 02:57 |
| golinux | Also my backends are still pretty screwed up so not totally functional on the desktop. I had to add gvfs to get usbs to mount in the VM. | 02:58 |
| fsmithred | did the upgrade work? | 03:00 |
| golinux | At least the theme is starting to come together | 03:00 |
| fsmithred | and did you do it in synaptic or terminal? | 03:00 |
| golinux | kind of | 03:00 |
| golinux | synaptic,of course | 03:00 |
| golinux | Where I can choose what I want to install more carefully. | 03:01 |
| golinux | The libreoffice upgrade is broken. Think I'm going to purge the whole thing. | 03:01 |
| fsmithred | the message and the change might have something to do with the change in root's path when you 'su' vs. 'su -' | 03:01 |
| golinux | I know we spent time getting it straightened out and now it's a bit funky again | 03:02 |
| golinux | And the desktop setting ui is rather nonfunctional. can't navigate to a specific location. | 03:03 |
| fsmithred | what do you mean? | 03:04 |
| fsmithred | there's a newer version of libreoffice in sid/ceres | 03:04 |
| golinux | right click on the desktop to open desktop settings | 03:04 |
| fsmithred | oh | 03:05 |
| golinux | I cann't navigate to a specific location. I can only go to the root of the folders listed. | 03:05 |
| golinux | I put the wallpaper in Home. Couldn't get to the images in /usr/share | 03:06 |
| golinux | And still none of the changes I make to thunar in root are persistent. | 03:07 |
| golinux | But look at this: https://dev1galaxy.org/files/slim-final.png | 03:08 |
| golinux | I just overwrote the softwaves slim theme. :D | 03:09 |
| fsmithred | looks good | 03:09 |
| golinux | https://dev1galaxy.org/files/grub-final.png | 03:10 |
| golinux | I make make "username" a tad smaller. | 03:10 |
| golinux | Thanks. I'm really happy with this theme. | 03:10 |
| golinux | But fighting with cpc and things like selecting blocks of entries. Seems "shift" no longer works. Then I stumbled on ahift + alt and that okind of works but is very whimsical. | 03:12 |
| golinux | The kinks in desktop functioning a quite annoying. Wheel scrolling sometimes does nothing. The whole desktop is a clumsy mess to work on. | 03:14 |
| fsmithred | what polkit are you using? | 03:15 |
| golinux | Shutdown no longer works after the upgrade. | 04:43 |
| jaromil | cool!!! RE: <+fsmithred> jaromil, I can make a live-usb that boots with grub on bios or uefi. ("can" = "just did it and it works") | 12:26 |
| jaromil | is it manual or you have some scripts i can look at? | 12:26 |
| jaromil | is bios OR uefi choice exclusive? and in case then which one covers most ground? | 12:27 |
| fsmithred | it boots on bios or uefi hardware, whichever it sees. Just one image. | 12:56 |
| fsmithred | no scripts. I just made a multi-boot usb and then imaged the whole device. | 13:03 |
| KatolaZ | fsmithred: any luck with minimal-live? | 13:28 |
| fsmithred | KatolaZ, no | 13:30 |
| fsmithred | adding fat32 to initrd got it a little further | 13:30 |
| fsmithred | but it failed to mount the fat. got 'codepage cp437 not found' | 13:31 |
| fsmithred | I googled it, but not a lot of help | 13:31 |
| zcram | doesn't that have soemthing to do with configuring lenooks | 13:33 |
| zcram | before compiling | 13:33 |
| fsmithred | zcram, fat support is in the kernel (stock debian kernel) but it was not in the initrd. | 13:49 |
| zcram | nah, I mean about codepage 437 | 13:50 |
| fsmithred | yeah, it's in the kernel config | 13:50 |
| fsmithred | CONFIG_DEFAULT_CODEPAGE=437 (might be missing a word) | 13:50 |
| fsmithred | mini.iso works well on multi-boot usb - no problems with finding the cdrom since it doesn't need to use the cdrom. | 15:16 |
