golinux | Use it if you must but I'll still use slim. | 00:00 |
---|---|---|
golinux | I don't know that I have another desktop in me anyway | 00:01 |
golinux | By the time beowulf goes EOL, I'll be well into my 80s (if I last that long) so chimaera might not be a concern for me personally. | 00:02 |
fsmithred | I think I need to not apply the patch. The same patch was not applied in the darkpurpy theme. | 00:11 |
golinux | Centurion_Dan: The Clearlooks-Phenix theme is now maintained but a Debian team not https://github.com/jpfleury/clearlooks-phenix/ afaik | 00:11 |
fsmithred | no, that's the old repo | 00:12 |
mason | golinux: You should be able to use just about any theming you want with LightDM. | 00:12 |
fsmithred | it's at salsa now | 00:12 |
mason | golinux: I'd be happy to look at some point. I've had to muck with it sporadically. | 00:12 |
Centurion_Dan | golinux: There is nothing new since the last release in that github location in Debian anyway. | 00:12 |
mason | golinux: Heading off to dinner now, but if you can email me (or the dev list) details of the goal, I'd be happy to suggest possible solutions. | 00:13 |
Centurion_Dan | what's in salsa almost certainly came from there. | 00:13 |
mason | Also, I'd look at the task defaults as distinct from what you yourself run. I never run anything I'd expect anyone else to use. | 00:13 |
Centurion_Dan | Anyway, I've got to go now. | 00:13 |
mason | bbiab | 00:14 |
Centurion_Dan | o/ | 00:14 |
golinux | mason: The theme is integrated from grub to the desktop including wallpaper, icons and WM theme. | 00:31 |
golinux | There is already an option for lightdm for beowulf. It is just very pedestrian and uninteresting. | 00:32 |
golinux | Centurion_Dan: There is no change in the code but the version number in salsa is different | 00:35 |
golinux | mason: The defaults ARE what I run because it has been my task to put it together for 3 releases. | 00:36 |
golinux | I have no interest in creating a default theme that I do not personally use. | 00:37 |
golinux | The current desktop was a wonderful collaboration between hellekin and myself. IMO it defines Devuan. | 00:40 |
golinux | I cannot conceive of Devuan without it. | 00:40 |
plasma41 | o/ | 01:24 |
mason | golinux: Hrm. Well. I'll need to get more context generally, but I'll be happy to help with this as much as I can. | 01:39 |
mason | I tend not to use a desktop environment as such, which adds to my bitterness when I consider Gnome driving systemd adoption. | 01:40 |
free_speech | isn't it possible to backport the new features of more recent gnome-versions back to the gnome.version used in debian wheezy? | 01:51 |
free_speech | don't get me wrong, I'm not a gnome user - but wouldn't that be possible though? | 01:52 |
mason | free_speech: They're vastly different codebases at this point. | 02:02 |
mason | Entirely different approaches. | 02:02 |
golinux | Then there's this that even affects xfce: https://igurublog.wordpress.com/2012/11/05/gnome-et-al-rotting-in-threes/ | 02:05 |
LeePen | Hi. I think I have worked out why those debian 0.105-25 libpolikt-{backend,gobject} packages are getting through: when I reworked the policykit packages I made Devuan's versions of those virtual. We only have libpolikt-{backend,gobject}-{elogind,consolekit} which both provide libpolikt-{backend,gobject}. So can we block debian's packages in amprolla? | 08:16 |
LeePen | If not, I will have to revert that change. | 08:16 |
LeePen | This is also the cause of José's difficulties migrating buster→beowulf we were discussing on the lists a few days ago. | 08:17 |
ServiceRobot | oi lads | 11:52 |
ServiceRobot | I wrote up a 3 page essay on the init dilemma, and possible solutions. where should I post it on the forum? | 11:53 |
ServiceRobot | bah, I'll just post it to the one I think is appropriate | 11:54 |
ServiceRobot | alright, posted to the forum. I'm going to bed | 11:57 |
agris_ | where | 12:52 |
fsmithred | agris_, dev1galaxy.org | 13:18 |
rrq | fsmithred: it needs a buildadd | 18:21 |
fsmithred | rrq: oh yeah. I learned about that last night, right before I went to bed. | 19:02 |
agris_ | fsmithred, | 21:03 |
fsmithred | what? | 21:48 |
golinux | I just responded to agris_ on #devuan | 21:49 |
fsmithred | yeah, I saw | 21:49 |
Centurion_Dan | just a heads up... I' | 22:01 |
Centurion_Dan | I will be a bit busy for the next few days... Fiona's waters broke, so we'll have a baby probably by lunch time... | 22:02 |
Centurion_Dan | so if I | 22:02 |
Centurion_Dan | am a bit non-responsive for a few days you all know why... ;-) | 22:03 |
rrq | grats!! | 22:04 |
Evilham | Centurion_Dan: congratulations, take good care of her | 22:04 |
mason | Centurion_Dan: Congrats in advance! | 22:07 |
Evilham | rrq: I have silly news from the mriror front https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/20190913.135358.df3385db.en.html | 22:11 |
Evilham | basically, the monitoring front | 22:11 |
rrq | great. green is good :) | 22:14 |
Evilham | yeah | 22:16 |
Evilham | it should turn yellow when TLS certs are about to expire | 22:16 |
Evilham | and red when something is dead | 22:16 |
Evilham | (except for the mriror network, where "somethign" is dead means yellow unless it's way too many of them that are dead, in which case it is red) | 22:17 |
golinux | ping | 22:28 |
golinux | Victory! | 22:28 |
golinux | g4sra emailed this suggestion for that problem sentence: | 22:28 |
golinux | "Register your email to receive important announcements and release news." | 22:28 |
golinux | and I switched it up a bit to: | 22:28 |
golinux | "Register your email to receive release announcements and important news." | 22:28 |
golinux | because releases are the most important thing that we do. :) | 22:29 |
Evilham | yay! | 22:29 |
Evilham | reads good to me | 22:29 |
golinux | It really does. | 22:30 |
golinux | Now on to test fsr's new desktop stuff in ceres. I think I awake enough to do that now. | 22:31 |
golinux | I'm . . . maybe not quite awake | 22:31 |
Centurion_Dan | Evilham: that looks great. I'll try to get an NZ mirror up next week. | 23:35 |
Centurion_Dan | We should start looking into geolocation mirrors too.... | 23:35 |
Evilham | that's easy | 23:39 |
Evilham | requires control over DNS though | 23:39 |
