| golinux | How is this a Devuan support question? The is not a general chat channel. | 03:12 |
| golinux | ukine: ^^^ | 03:12 |
| * golinux thinks it might be a bot . . . | 03:13 | |
| ukine | i apologize golinux. will not happen again. | 03:18 |
| ukine | the crown purviews this channel and it seemed like a necessity at the time. i'm a little tipsy. won't happen again. | 03:18 |
| golinux | ukine: #debianfork is our general chat channel. :) | 03:21 |
| user844842 | greetings o/ how can i find out more about this entry in dmesg ? sr 4:0:0:0: [sr0] CDROM not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive. | 14:00 |
| user844842 | was not using the cdrom | 14:00 |
| r3boot | that was a scsi probe command, testing to see if a cdrom was inserted | 14:00 |
| r3boot | that happens with removable media, especially older style media like floppies and cdroms | 14:00 |
| user844842 | thank you r3boot | 14:01 |
| user844842 | i'll look more into scsi probe commands. any other ideas welcome :D | 14:01 |
| r3boot | basically, if you have a cdrom, it will offer a device api, regardless if a medium is inserted or not. More modern removable media (like SD), will only offer that device api when a medium is inserted | 14:02 |
| r3boot | and as long as your cdrom device driver is loaded, it will do a probe to test if a medium is inserted | 14:02 |
| r3boot | old style stuff, dont spend too much energy on it unless you're into vintage computing ;) | 14:03 |
| r3boot | you probably triggered it by looking at a filesystem via some graphical file manager btw, which tried to do a listing of some cdrom mountpoint, causing the kernel to check for a medium | 14:05 |
| user844842 | i only have a week of old logs to check against, but i don't remember seeing it before now. and so i wonder why now | 14:07 |
| r3boot | something triggered the reading of the cdrom, so I'd start by checking where the cdrom would be mounted (either statically defined in /etc/fstab, or via some media-mounting service from your desktop environment) | 14:08 |
| user844842 | oops apologies i missed your last line there. thank you again for the help here r3boot. i'll check those out :D | 14:09 |
| r3boot | next, find out what uses that mountpoint, and check the logs of those apps (if any) | 14:09 |
| r3boot | no worries :) | 14:09 |
| r3boot | but again, dont spend too much efford in it. If you dont use the cdrom, you could also unload the 'sr' driver, or physically remove the cdrom from your computer | 14:09 |
| james1138 | General question about Devuan. Will there be a Beowulf ISO in the future? | 17:28 |
| golinux | Of course | 17:33 |
| sasquatch | :-) | 17:34 |
| james1138 | Sorry.. sidetracked. I apologise for any rudeness on my part. | 18:16 |
| james1138 | Is there a rough timeframe for the release of the ISO? | 18:17 |
| james1138 | Sorry all!! Learning to do IRC from Cell phone. Must remember to keep window open. At Ren-Fair helping sell stuff and passing time by chatting. | 18:32 |
| james1138 | I got confused by upgrade using Bootstrap even after watching YouTube videos. Hence my grovelling about Beowulf ISO. | 18:34 |
| james1138 | Non ISO question... does Flatpack demand systems like snap?? | 18:40 |
| james1138 | in mean systems | 18:40 |
| james1138 | systemd | 18:40 |
| buZz | flutpuck | 18:41 |
| james1138 | that bad buZz?! | 18:42 |
| buZz | james1138: there's no timeframe, but probably soonish | 18:42 |
| buZz | (iso for beowulf) | 18:42 |
| james1138 | thanks for the update on the ISO buZz | 18:43 |
| buZz | yw | 18:43 |
| james1138 | Will chat with all later. | 18:44 |
| Wonka | Jjp137: IRC from smartphone works better when using mosh (with JuiceSSH for example) to some always-on box. | 19:39 |
| Wonka | er, james1138 of course, who left, of course. | 19:40 |
| x3dre | Hi - I'm trying to install virtualbox 6.0.10 onto my virgin devuan installation but I'm running into dependencies issues. The version running on my laptop is devuan 5.2.0-2-686 #1 SMP Debian 5.2.9-2 (2019-08-21) i686 GNU/Linux. | 20:55 |
| x3dre | I'm having trouble trying to install python. | 20:55 |
| x3dre | Here's the error message.Checking for Python support: ** Python not found! | 20:56 |
| x3dre | When I check in synaptic it shows python is installed. | 20:56 |
| x3dre | interactive high-level object-oriented language (Python2 version) 2.7.16-1 | 20:57 |
| x3dre | there is much more to install but I don't know what else from python libs etc too install .. Any help will be appreciated. :) | 20:58 |
| sixwheeledbeast | python 3.7 | 21:00 |
| sixwheeledbeast | dpkg -l | grep python3 | 21:01 |
| x3dre | ok | 21:01 |
| b3bgd | quote: "Python version at least 2.6 is required. Since Oracle VM VirtualBox 5.1, Python 3 is also supported. " | 21:02 |
| x3dre | sixwheeledbeast I did that and a long list appeared. | 21:02 |
| b3bgd | x3dre: what does python --version tell you? | 21:05 |
| x3dre | I see now that I need dev and libs installed :) | 21:05 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Pretty sure 6.0.10 depends python 3.7> | 21:06 |
| Akuli | devuan and most other systems come with two pythons, both x.y versions are available as pythonx and pythonx.y, e.g. python3, python3.5, python2, python2.7 on this system | 21:06 |
| Akuli | there is also an executable named 'python' that usually points to python2.7 for historical reasons, lol | 21:06 |
| x3dre | I'm still using an i386 laptop is the a virtualbox i386 deb file for easier install that doing it from source. | 21:07 |
| x3dre | ? | 21:07 |
| furrywolf | you can't install 3.7 on ascii. run python3 instead of python to see what version of python3 you have. | 21:07 |
| Akuli | i have installed virtualbox 6.0 and it uses python2.7 | 21:07 |
| Akuli | it "just worked" when i installed it | 21:07 |
| furrywolf | if you just run "python" you get python 2, need to run "python3" to get python 3. | 21:08 |
| x3dre | ok furrywolf :) | 21:09 |
| b3bgd | x3dre: where exactly did you get virtualbox 6.x for i386?! | 21:10 |
| b3bgd | isn't it compatible with amd64 only? | 21:11 |
| x3dre | I got the tar.gz file off the oracle site. | 21:12 |
| fsmithred | they offer a source tarball? | 21:13 |
| b3bgd | I was pretty sure that 6.x dropped support for i386/i686... on their downloads page for Linux it says the same, no support for i386, only amd64... not sure what to say here | 21:14 |
| x3dre | So only amd64 is supported ? :o | 21:15 |
| b3bgd | I don't understand where you downloaded tar.gz from, I don't see anything like that | 21:16 |
| b3bgd | fsmithred: yes, they have source code for most things; i think usb 3.0 is closed-source and the like | 21:17 |
| sixwheeledbeast | install 5.2 from the repos instead? | 21:17 |
| b3bgd | btw, source code is tar.bz2, not tar.gz :P | 21:17 |
| x3dre | VirtualBox-6.0.10.tar.bz2 | 21:18 |
| x3dre | that's the file I have :) I'll find the exact link... | 21:18 |
| b3bgd | yes, that is the source code... but it won't work for i386 | 21:19 |
| b3bgd | do what sixwheeledbeast says, get 5.x | 21:20 |
| x3dre | ok b3bgd :) | 21:22 |
| x3dre | Thx all for your help :) | 21:28 |
