parazydfsmithred: Is there a beowulf release roadmap/checklist somewhere?17:08
fsmithredno17:10
fsmithredwell, there probably is...17:10
fsmithredbut I haven't seen it in months17:10
fsmithredfinal things to do:17:11
fsmithredbeta installer isos17:11
fsmithredperiod.17:11
parazydok, thanks17:11
parazydI'll update the devuan-sdk accordingly then17:11
fsmithredI think we're a week away17:11
parazyd*nod*17:11
fsmithreduh...17:11
fsmithredwhat are you updating?17:11
parazydThe defaults17:11
parazydFrom ascii to beowulf17:11
parazydNeeds some tweaking from what I experienced building beowulf-based Maemo Leste too17:12
fsmithredok, I was going to do that with desktop-live and minimal-live blends some time soon17:12
parazydAlright17:12
fsmithredchange i586 to i686 in kernel17:12
parazydAnd I'm thinking of defaulting the repository urls to https instead of http17:12
fsmithredzlibs/kernel17:12
parazydSince it's now natively supported17:13
parazydSure thing!17:13
fsmithredyeah, ok17:13
fsmithredif you and I can get some time that coincides...17:13
fsmithredI'd like it if we looked at what aitor and ozi traveler have done17:13
fsmithredto include debian-installer17:13
fsmithredaitor made big changes in libdevuansdk17:14
parazydNo problem, tomorrow and on I'll be around17:14
fsmithredcool17:14
parazydDo you have a link to their changes perhaps?17:15
fsmithredyeah, hang on17:15
fsmithredwhat's the git command to show the repo url?17:17
fsmithredhttps://git.devuan.org/aitor_czr/live-sdk17:17
parazydgit remote -v17:18
parazydThanks17:19
parazydI'll check this out17:19
fsmithredhttps://github.com/ozitraveller/live-sdk.git17:19
fsmithredI used ozi's and it worked17:19
fsmithredI haven't tried aitor's latest one17:19
fsmithredtried one last year and it mostly worked, but something weird happened...17:19
fsmithredit changed a system file on the host system17:19
fsmithredI forget which file17:19
parazydeek17:20
fsmithredyeah, I didn't run it again after that17:21
parazydI'll figure out what's up. Shouldn't be a big problem to diff it.17:21
fsmithredhe added a series of dialog windows to start the build17:22
fsmithredit reads the blend files and gives you choices17:22
parazydok17:23
parazydAs long as the previous functionality where there is no interaction needed stays17:23
parazydI guess I could incorporate it17:23
fsmithredtake a look and we can talk about options17:24
fsmithredare you aware of the current sitation with arm builds?17:25
parazydNo. What's happening?17:25
fsmithredwe dropped them into the lap of the community17:25
fsmithredhttps://dev1galaxy.org/viewforum.php?id=2417:25
parazydIs this related to images or packages?17:26
fsmithrednone of the currently active devs have arm hardware17:26
fsmithredimages17:26
parazydACK17:26
fsmithredalthough I think there may be some discussion of packages, too17:26
parazydhmm17:26
fsmithredI seem to recall someone talking about missing packages17:26
parazydok17:27
parazydLet's put that in the todo then17:27
parazydBecause I'd like to keep the package builds.17:27
parazydAnd I can provide the hardware to build them17:27
fsmithredtuxdev is working on arm images17:27
fsmithredand rkramer (not sure if that's right)17:28
parazyd*nod*17:30
fsmithredjust kramer at our weekly meets17:31
fsmithredand tuxd3v is correct spelling17:31
fsmithredoh yeah...17:34

fsmithredalso one for ppc64el17:35
parazydNice17:38
g4570nHi, does anyone know why the command: su-to-root works without problems in XFCE, but in MATE it doesn't? We want to run d-i from a version of Devuan Beowulf, in XFCE it runs in GUI mode without problems, but in Mate it runs in text mode ¯\_(ツ)_/¯17:47
golinuxparazyd: ?17:54
* golinux faints!17:54
parazyd^_^17:55
golinuxSo are you going to provide arm images?  I have removed them from the lists on beta.devuan.org17:55
golinuxSome folks are working on them more or less. but definitely not ready for prime time17:56
parazydNot sure if it's necessary, but I can build them, of course.17:57
golinuxNo one over here is building them17:57
fsmithredg4570n, are xfce and mate in the same installation or separate installations?18:04
fsmithredmake sure libgtk3-perl is installed.18:06
fsmithredit's needed for graphical debconf windows18:06
g4570nfsmithred: We create two ISOs to test, one with XFCE and one with Mate18:08
fsmithredcheck for that package - it might make the difference between regular install and graphical install18:10
g4570nfsmithred: That package was not installed, my partner installed it but says the same thing happens, it runs in text mode on d-i18:18
fsmithredI thought maybe it got pulled into the xfce build but not the mate.18:20
fsmithredare these live-isos or just installer isos?18:21
g4570nthe ISO with XFCE does not have the package, but it does run in GUI mode18:22
fsmithredyeah, so it's obviously something else18:22
fsmithredbut I don't know d-i well enough to help18:23
fsmithredcompare udebs?18:23
g4570nIt is a live version with installer18:24
fsmithredboot commands are the same in both?18:24
fsmithredmount both isos and compare them in meld18:26
fsmithredsee if something is missing in the mate iso18:27
g4570nthe boot commands are the same, if you try to install without entering the live mode in Mate, this works in GUI mode, but if you try to do it from the live mode, enter a text mode18:29
LeePenfsmithred: parazyd: I am not aware of any packages that are missing arm* builds.18:51
LeePenFor beowulf, that is.18:51
