tom_workfreedom?00:15
tom_workHow is the raspberry pi image developed?02:37
tom_workIs there a debootsrap template or something?02:37
tom_worka script?02:38
golinuxhttps://beta.devuan.org/os/distro-kit02:38
golinuxYou can drop the beta.  That's just where I'm working now.02:39
golinuxhttps://devuan.org/os/distro-kit02:39
tom_workhuh02:39
tom_workso is this different from Debian preseeds?02:39
tom_workI have experience designing preseeds for automated debian installations02:40
tom_workIs the Devuan SDK different than this?02:40
gnarfacetom_work: all the ARM images from devuan are custom, pre-installed images02:45
gnarfacetom_work: there is no ARM installer02:45
gnarfacethat's why they're so different from the x86 stuff02:45
gnarfacethey're all built from some script in the gitlab02:46
tom_workI see02:46
gnarfaceyou are encouraged to check it out and try it02:46
gnarfaceif you are dissatisfied with the ARM builds and can provide knowledgeable feedback, i'm sure they would appreciate it02:47
tom_workI'm going to read into this but can you give me the general rundown of what the structure is? quick version. Is it just a bash script-like situation that calls in debootstrap or something more monolithic?02:47
gnarfacei don't know actually.  but yea i think it's primarily a shell script02:47
gnarfacelook for something in the gitlab called "arm-sdk" i don't have the exact link memorized02:48
tom_workok good so sounds like it should be relatively easy to patch02:48
gnarfaceoh it's in the channel topic of #devuan-arm: https://git.devuan.org/sdk/arm-sdk02:49
gnarfacetom_work: oh, and the link golinux gave you has a link to that on there too02:50
gnarfaceit actually seems to have a more coherent rundown than i've just typed out02:50
gnarfaceseems like a good place to start02:50
TwistedFateis anyone using wayland/sway on devuan?02:52
TwistedFatethinking of switching and i'm wondering how it works02:52
tom_workno02:54
tom_workI wouldn't recommend doing that02:54
TwistedFatew-why not?02:54
golinuxTwistedFate: I have never seen questions anywhere on devudn about wayland02:55
golinuxtypo02:55
TwistedFateomg i'm finally first in something :D02:55
golinuxIn this case might not be a good thing . . .02:55
TwistedFatewhy not? is wayland bad?02:56
golinuxiiuc wayland is quite immature02:56
tom_work>TwistedFate> omg i'm finally first in something :D02:56
tom_workhaha, you say that like it's a good thing02:57
tom_workXD02:57
TwistedFate:')02:57
tom_workDoing things first in OSS is hard -- saying from experience02:57
tom_workthere's a lot of upfront heavy lifting that has to be done by somebody, and if your the first you gotta do it02:58
tom_workanyways, I would not recommend using wayland because it's not at the same maturity as most other software, it also has serious architectural problems like the way windows are managed, meaning using a window manager is not as simple as just starting one up and having your display server tell your window manager where all the windows are02:59
TwistedFatehmm03:00
tom_workas well as network transparency problems which if you ever use 'ssh -X' you will probably run into03:00
tom_workproblems with gpu drivers,03:00
TwistedFatehmm03:01
TwistedFatei guess wayland is out of the question if i'm playing video games :/03:01
tom_workor if you run graphically accelerated programs as different users and/or kernel namespaces03:01
phoggI have seen two Wayland reactions (in general, not Devuan specific): "I didn't realize my distro had switched until I tried to run $foo and it didn't work" and "I tried to use it but $x, $y, and $z did not work and I gave up." There is not much in between.03:01
tom_worksay you like steam but don't want to let it access all your personal files or run analytics on your system, so you run steam as it's own UNIX user, '_steam"03:02
tom_work'03:02
tom_workand then give the steam user permission to use graphics hardware and audio hardware directly03:02
TwistedFatetom_work: wait, can steam be isolated like that without it complaining and crashing03:02
TwistedFate?03:02
tom_workwith Xorg you simply give the _steam user the Xauthority cookie for the display server to use and off you go to the races03:03
tom_workTwistedFate, yes, I personally use that03:03
tom_workit works very well03:03
TwistedFatetom_work: oh wow, i'd like to use that as well, how do i set it up?03:03
phoggtom_work: what about wayland+Xwayland and no other clients? Should work, no?03:03
tom_workTwistedFate, I'm at the cafe right now about to head back home, but if you are interested I'd be willing to help you set that up03:04
TwistedFatetom_work: yes, i would like that.03:04
tom_workif your running Xwayland you might as well just run Xorg. therwise you basiclly running two display servers when you only need one03:04
tom_workgive me 30 minutes I'm heading home right now.03:05
EHeMHmm, mentions of Raspberry PI and ARM on #devuan, rather than #devuan-arm...03:16
EHeMThere is a UEFI chaining bootloader for the Raspberry PI 3&4, report I read is it is good enough for the Debian ARM netinst image (Devuan doesn't have an ARM netinst image) the version for the 4 is alpha-quality.03:19
EHeMWayland sounds like it has some good ideas, problem is it also includes a number of bad ideas; say what you will about X, but including the premise of network transparency at the base has been a huge win.03:20
agrisWho was it that needed help isolating steam?03:51
gnarfaceit was TwistedFate03:59
agrisTwistedFate, still need help?04:00
TwistedFateagris: hey04:17
TwistedFateyea04:17
TwistedFateagris=tom_work?04:17
agrisy04:17
agrisneed help now?04:18
TwistedFateagris: i'm about to start a dota game, let's do it some other time04:20
agrisk04:20
EHeMWorking on plans for a Raspberry PI 4 installation...04:28
EHeMAt this point, it kind of looks like my best option may be to use a UEFI firmware image to chainload to a Debian ARM64 netinst image, and use that to install a Devuan debootstrap image.04:30
EHeMThat seems a bit convoluted, but the lack of a Devuan ARM64 netinst image forces pondering such ideas.04:30
agrisEHeM, why?04:36
agrisWhy not just point uboot to a netinst kernel ramdisk on a tftp server?04:37
agrisor store a netisnt on the boot partition04:37
agrisno need to install a bloated bootloader like a full efi implementation04:37
agristhere's a whole attack surface your adding with that. checkout UEFI firmware auditing04:38
agrisHow familiar are you with uboot?04:38
agrisPersonally even on my X86 machines I didn't go from BIOS to UEFI. I went from BIOS to coreboot grub2 payload04:39
gnarfaceyea, using uefi seems to be really overcomplicating the matter to me too04:42
gnarfacethat's really the way debian does it?04:43
gnarfacethey have a arm64 netinstall image?04:44
gnarfaceand it loads uefi firmware on arm?04:44
gnarfaceor ... expects uefi firmware on arm?04:44
agristhe scope is UEFI is insane. It even implements a framebuffer04:45
agrisif your interested in revamping the image for arm devices I think looking at how OpenBSD does it is a pretty good start04:49
agristhey provide the bsd.rd image which contains the kernel, a basic filesystem and an installer04:49
agrisit's only a couple megs so it can easily be put on a tftp server commonly used for deploying firmware updates to various embedded devices like ip phones n such04:50
agrisspeaking of openbsd they just released 6.6 with new art04:51
agrischeck this out https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.6/arm64/INSTALL.arm6404:52
gnarfaceneat04:53
EHeMThe point of UEFI is that it provides a consistent interface to the hardware, consistent enough for early boot stages (GRUB) to not need to care about what the actual hardware is and not need custom drivers.05:00
EHeMAlso consistent enough to use an ARM64 netinst image instead of a Raspberry PI-specific image.05:01
gnarfacedoes u-boot not support the raspberry pi or something?05:02
EHeMThat might be an option, I do know there is an alpha-quality UEFI image.05:03
gnarfacebecause that's also what u-boot is for, from what it sounds like to me05:05
gnarfacethough it seems more directed towards ARM stuff specifically05:05
agrisuboot provides the consistent hardware interface through an embedded dtb05:05
agrisand yes, the raspberry pi uses uboot05:06
EHeMFor that though looks like there is grub-uboot for armel and armhf, but not arm64.05:06
agrisuboot is not arm specific. I've also used it on PPC05:06
gnarfacei thought the ppc fork was yaboot05:07
gnarfacei have used yaboot on ppc05:07
gnarfacei wasn't sure if they were related in any way other than name05:07
agrishttps://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/05:08
agrisbtw05:08
agrisput the OpenBSD ARM64 miniroot.fs onto the pi's SD card and boot it up with a serial console attached05:09
agrisuboot is already on there05:09
agrisalthough keep in mind I think there are some hardware limitations on the pi due to the corners cut to reduce the cost05:12
EHeMProblem with all the current installs is they're copying the kernel onto a FAT filesystem, which means merely installing a newer kernel package isn't going to boot the new kernel.05:12
agrison the Pi when you use the internal SoC's UART it's clock source comes from the main arm core05:13
agrisso you have to turn off frequency scaling and run the pi at a specific frequency to have the UART at a consistent baud rate05:13
agrisEHeM, well could it be possible to use ext2 instead of vfat?05:15
agristhat way you could have symbolic links?05:15
agrisext2 is simple enough to implement in bootrom05:15
furrywolftweak the frequency scaling code to also update the uart divisor at the same time05:17
EHeMagris: My understanding is the second-stage bootloader (SPI EEPROM) understands VFAT-only, symbolic links in the boot area would require it to understand the filesystem where the kernel has been installed (ext4).05:17
agrisyou only need enough to load a kernel and a initial ramdisk into memory05:18
EHeMOr the next-stage bootloader, like GRUB.05:19
agrison my X86 machines I like to use grub after hwinit because grub is very modular and modules already existing for booting directly from a LUKS encrypted disk or verifying a kernel via OpenPGP instead of the complicated X.509 mess05:19
EHeMGRUB is prepared for copying itself into a boot area, the kernel package installation scripts are not.05:19
agrisand grub even has modules for filesystems like ZFS05:20
agrissay you use ext2 to keep things small05:20
agrisor just use the ext4 filesystem module so you keep everything on one partition05:20
agrisbut no, what if we want to upgrade the rootfs to F2FS in the future?05:21
EHeMIf there were grub-uboot packages for arm64, I would try that first, but there aren't so I'm planning for an approach which will work.05:21
agrisputting /boot on it's own is still a good idea05:21
EHeMUEFI is a *really* crappy standard, but because it is a standard many things work with it; thus it allows use of GRUB, which allows generic kernel installation scripts.05:23
EHeMThere is a "systemd-boot" bootloader.  Wow.05:35
Acaciait's also overreaching as hell https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1745731705:38
Acacia(link is about a NES emulator on UEFI)05:38
agristhere's no reason to use efi here05:44
agrisif it's really that big of a deal just adjust the kernel installer to put the live kernel in /boot/vmlinuz as well as a copy in /boot with the version number05:45
agrisusing the system that's already there05:45
agrisanybody want to join me in a game of black mesa coop beta?05:49
agristhey just added the office complex05:49

golinuxASCII 2.1 partial release: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=311406:49
furrywolfyay06:50
furrywolfare there major changes, or is it about what I already have with upgrading occasionally?06:50
golinuxYou can read the notes06:50
golinuxDepends what you consider major.06:51
furrywolfanything that apt-get update && apt-get upgrade won't have correctly done already...06:51
fsmithredit's just new isos with up-to-date software06:57
targz"ASCII 2.1 partial release: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=3114" Excellent :D07:20
agriseggs07:51
agrisneeds moar eggs07:51
agrishow does something like CVE-2019-3462 happen?08:01
agrisI thought before any of these packages were even processed they had to pass a PGP check08:02
EHeMagris: That is *during* the download process.08:27

onefangWrong window error.17:05
irssiZ2:P17:05
irssiZ2onefang: I am having problems with libpng and it's binary incompatabilites17:05
irssiZ2because it sucks as a lib17:05
irssiZ2libjpeg and targa don't have these problems17:06
irssiZ2but I can't even get ld_preload to fix it17:06
irssiZ2libpng warning: Application built with libpng-1.4.22 but running with 1.6.2817:06
irssiZ2Error loading png file.17:06
irssiZ2export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libpng14.so; ./crossedit17:06
irssiZ217:06
irssiZ2usually ld preload makes things work17:06
onefangMeh, I'm still annoyed that Stretch / ASCII had JPEG 200 support ripped out of almost everything.17:06
irssiZ2here it's ignoring this17:06
onefangEr 2000.17:06
irssiZ2onefang: tip: just use .tga files for all textures etc17:07
irssiZ2.tga is built into the engines often, and is lossless and loads /fast/17:07
irssiZ2and a zipped tga is similar in size to a png17:07
irssiZ2onefang: why was it ripped out?17:08
irssiZ2is it debian being "soyboys" and obeying patents17:08
onefangUnfortunately Opensim (where I do a lot of work) uses the same native graphic format as Second Life, JPEG 2000.  So I kinda need it to be supported by more than just imagemagick.17:08
irssiZ2this is what one gets when wage slaves invade hackerspace.17:08
onefangI dunno why.17:08
irssiZ2probably american white boys afraid they'll get sued17:08
irssiZ2then their "jerb" and "muh whoit wuhman wife" would be lost by them17:09
irssiZ220 years ago there were 0 white-boy wage slaves in opensource/free software17:09
furrywolf...  why are you being a biggoted cunt to discuss open-source software?17:09
irssiZ2only slavs, jews, and nerds (who white workin' boys reject as "human")17:09
irssiZ2furrywolf: because when I joined opensource it was biggoted17:10
irssiZ2no women17:10
irssiZ2and no mules17:10
nemoonefang: wow. someone actually uses jpeg2k?17:10
irssiZ2now there are both women, and the mules they ride on17:10
irssiZ2it was better when it was only nerds etc17:10
irssiZ2the mules are afraid of being sued17:11
nemoonefang: my experience with jpeg2k was the quality was not significantly better than, say, mozjpeg (sometimes worse depending on image content), but with disadvantage of significantly slower encode/decode and far worse support.17:11
irssiZ2so they obey US laws17:11
irssiZ2nemo: why isn't ldpreload fixing my issue17:11
onefangLooong ago Second Life picked JPEG 2000 is their internal graphics format, thus OpenSIm had to follow.  I have many tens of GB of the things.17:11
nemoonefang: hell. there was one jpeg2k demo page where I made the mistake of saving the jpeg2k to desktop to run a comparison test.... and the thumbnailer crashed. causing an infinite loop of MATE desktop reload  filed a bug about that17:11
furrywolfhrmm, "fang", second life...  a furry!  :P17:12
nemothey fixed the decoder not their failure to spawn a new process17:12
nemoonefang: mm. I guess it was the new hotness at the time secondlife was spawned17:12
djph^17:12
nemoonefang: nowdays I'd say it's the formats based on AV1 and h265 and the like which show more promise17:12
onefangI'm hairy, not furry.  A true greybeard.17:12
nemoonefang: (the static image formats)17:13
irssiZ2guess no one will help me17:13
nemohttps://aomediacodec.github.io/av1-avif/  etc17:13
onefangUnfortunately I'm stuck with thousands of JPEG 2000, and having to support them.17:13
irssiZ2I insulted your precious wuuuuuhhhmmaaaannnnssss17:13
irssiZ2wuwuuuuhhhhhmmmmaannnnnn17:13
irssiZ2the cunts who do no code, but rule over all code now17:13
irssiZ2because you are all wage slave faggots17:13
furrywolfhave you considered killing yourself?17:13
irssiZ2furrywolf: nope17:14
nemoonefang: well, I can certainly see jpeg2k support as kind of an edge case nowdays, is it such a big deal to bundle your own lib?17:14
irssiZ2furrywolf: I'm a hacker, not a wageslave faggot such as yourself, woman.17:14
irssiZ2I am glad, however, that you, a woman, needs to work17:14
irssiZ2at least you are miserable17:14
irssiZ2cunts like you attack RMS17:14
furrywolfYep.  It's because I don't live in my parents' basement.  When you no longer do this, you will get a job too.17:15
onefangThe problem is no viewer to view several directories full of them, no editor to edit them.17:15
irssiZ2furrywolf: I'm an attorney17:15
nemoah...17:15
djphfurrywolf: wait, you're a woman?17:15
irssiZ2a New York Lawyer17:15
nemoonefang: yeah, I never did figure out how to edit those17:15
nemoonefang: couldn't even get gimp to load them17:15
furrywolfonefang:  convert *.jpg...  :P17:15
irssiZ2furrywolf: you scum will work for my guys17:15
nemoonefang: and that was years ago17:15
nemofurrywolf: does convert have jpeg2k linked in?17:15
irssiZ2furrywolf: oh and I'm an heir17:15
djphfurrywolf: I always just thought you were a dog :/17:15
irssiZ2furrywolf: I don't have to work for a living.17:15
* nemo tries in ascii17:16
djphI'm pretty sure this is also the wrong channel for this ...17:16
irssiZ2furrywolf: I am glad you are miserable, cunt17:16
furrywolfdjph:  I'm rapidly becoming more of a female dog the more I listen to irssiZ2 talk....17:16
irssiZ2in the past women just lived off their mules17:16
irssiZ2happily some of the women can't do they anymore17:16
djphfurrywolf: works for me.17:16
nemowow. it works. cool.17:16
irssiZ2they do seek to control the stupid white men anyway however17:16
nemoscore one for convert17:16
djphfurrywolf: as does /ignore.  he got tiresome.17:16
irssiZ2furrywolf: you must be hearing things: I am not saying anything17:17
r3bootpeople, this is the devuan support channel. Please take the offtopic talk to #debianfork17:17
DyrconaIs Beowulf's lsb_release Distributor ID still supposed to say "Debian" or is that a bug? (I know Beowulf is still testing.)17:18
furrywolfonefang:  just checked, and I can confirm imagemagick on ascii both reads and writes jpeg2000.17:18
onefangYep, it's the one tool that escaped the purge of JPEG 2000, I mentioned that already.17:19
furrywolffind ./ -iname \*.jp2 -exec convert \{\} .jpg....17:20
onefangDid I mention I have thousands of them?  lol17:21
onefangA whole lot easier to deal with them if I can deal with them in the native format instead of constantly converting back and forth.17:21
furrywolffind will run happily overnight.  :)17:22
onefangUntil it runs out of disk space.17:22
furrywolfoh, you also have something that only reads jpeg2k?17:22
onefangI already said, OpenSim.17:23
furrywolfah, I figured the problem was it would only write them, not that it would only read them.17:23
onefangIt's the native format.17:24
onefangIt only supports a few others on import or export.17:25
nemoonefang: you said this was for editing though?17:25
nemoonefang: do you really need to convert all of them?17:26
nemoonefang: why not generate jpeg thumbnails of them all to find the one you need17:26
* furrywolf still has a hard time with the idea of a non-furry using secondlife17:26
nemoonefang: then when you need to work on one, convert it to png or ppm, edit it in gimp then convert back to jp2?17:26
onefangYes, I do all of that.  I can also complain about the need do all that needless work when I used to be able to just not have to.17:27
onefangCoz Debian decided to purge JPEG 2000 support.  I guess they simply forgot to remove it from Imagemagick.17:28
james1138Sorry for delay. Could this help Onefang?  https://www.openjpeg.org/17:28
djphlink that "Debian" purged support?17:28
james1138https://packages.debian.org/source/stable/openjpeg217:30
furrywolfif debian doesn't have it, apt-get source gimp, compile with --with-jpeg2000?17:31
furrywolfgimp 2.10 supposedly supports jpeg2000 well, up to 32bpp...17:32
furrywolfand in four different colorspaces17:32
furrywolfbeowulf has 2.1017:36
golinuxSorry I didn't see that meltdown earlier17:37
furrywolfit's people like that who are why linux now has a CoC.  heh.17:37

djphugh, don't start that flamewar furrywolf17:37
furrywolfnah, I think golinux identifies as vulcan.  :)17:38
djph...17:38
furrywolfyeah, I've had that flamewar too many times.  and I'm not awake enough for it again.17:39
fbtThis is, first and foremost, not a channel for that discussion17:39

DonkeyHoteiyes17:43
nemocool. I don't like having entries in ignore list that I then wonder why I had 'em 10 years later17:44
furrywolfhe got even stupider after you ignored him, then left.17:45
nemofurrywolf: well. he was in clear violation of the Devuan code of conduct17:46
nemofurrywolf: which is IMO quite sufficient17:46
nemofurrywolf: the forum one.  about being civil adults17:46
nemofurrywolf: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=1717:47
nemoI'm a fan of minimalist ones like that since they work juuuuust fine on jackass trolls17:47
nemojust like I'm a fan of minimalist init systems 😃17:48
furrywolfthe original for that reads too much like "don't ask, don't tell".17:49
nemofurrywolf: it's funny, every once in a while we get people we banned on the hedgewars game server complaining that we don't have explicitly listed rules for appropriate behaviour but focus on words like civility and kid-appropriate.  well no, because if we had explicit language you trolls would rule lawyer it17:49
nemofurrywolf: *shrug* dunno.   but I do like the fact that it is OT for FOSS17:49
nemofurrywolf: in theory you have no idea what nemo's identity is, even though I don't make it that hard to discover, and it shouldn't matter17:49

avbox14I created /run directory, but it did not help to start budgie-desktop. What is strange,20:33
avbox14if I log via ssh and set export DISPLAY=:1, budgie-desktop does start, but not if I start it directly from console (incl. /run directory). Could it be a problem of environment variables?20:36
amesserthere should be no need to manually create /run21:02
amesserhere on ascii: /run exists /run/user/xxx exists21:02
amesserand its properly mounted tmpfs21:03
amesserevbox14: check if libpam-elogind is installed and libpam-ck-connector is not installed21:04
amesseravbox14, srx21:04
amesserJTechno: what means "upgrade kernel" which version, which package?21:06
avbox14amesser: Both is the case, /etc/init.d/elogind is started, for a short time I see the desktop, then I get 'xinit: connection lost to X server lost', I see some warnings, /run/user/1000/keyring/control file/path not found21:07
amesserthen its probably something else21:10
amesserhow you start 'x' ? startx?21:10
avbox14@messmer: .xinitrc in user home directory21:11
amesserOK, can you have a look at ~/.xsession-errors21:11
amesserit should show the last error21:12
avbox14@amesser: Have to add, starting from ssh and export DISPLAY=:1 works, but not from console, .xsession-errors is empty, I only see warnings like keyring/control21:13
amesserlet me try on my notebook21:15
avbox14amesser, thank you, previous I had installed mate-desktop, then I added budgie-desktop and lightdm and slick-greeter, than I confirmed lightdm21:16
amesserhmm, at least the desktop starts. I dont have a mouse pointer. Not sure if that is correct, but i can see a panel with clock, some symbols and the gnome feet21:21
amessercontent of ~/.xinitrc :21:21
amesser#!/bin/bash21:21
amesserexec budgie-desktop21:21
amesserthen just "startx" on console21:21
avbox14@amesser: is this on beowulf or on ascii?21:23
amesserascii21:23
avbox14amesser: Ok, I'm on beowulf21:24
avbox14amesser: xinitrc is exactly the same21:24
amesserok, wait a second, i'll start my beowulf vm21:25
avbox14amesser: thank's again, when I have a further look at messages, I too see 'window manager warning: unsupported session type', after it 'bugdie-wm.desktop exited with code 121:29
amesserah, that might be related21:31
avbox14amesser: Just found out, if you start budgie-panel, desktop is here, but ugly mouse pointer, see here: https://www.reddit.com/r/bashonubuntuonwindows/comments/cbiygi/how_to_get_ubuntu_budgie_on_wsl2/ --- so it does start at least...21:33
amesserjust installing it in my vm now21:35
amesserIt starts in by beowulf vm, even with mouse-pointer21:37
amesserit looks quite nice. did know that desktop before21:38
amessers/did/didn't21:38
amessermaybe your config in your home directory is messed up somehow?21:38
amessercould you try creating a new user account and start budgie from that account?21:39
avbox14amesser, thank for the hint I will try this.21:39
amesserbtw, you can find a detailed xorg log in ~/.local/share/xorg/*.log21:40
amesserI'm sorry that I' cant help much more21:41
avbox14amesser: a new user does not help, but you helped very much, I know now, it must work, thank you and have a nice time.21:45
amesseryou're welcome :-)21:46
avbox14@amesser: I get it closer, I think, in my /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/budgie-desktop.session file, I find a lot of requirements:21:55
avbox14RequiredComponents=budgie-wm;budgie-daemon;budgie-panel;budgie-polkit;org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.A11ySettings;org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Clipboard;org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Color;org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Datetime;org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Housekeeping;org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Keyboard;org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.MediaKeys;org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Mouse;org.21:55
avbox14gnome.SettingsDaemon.Power;org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.PrintNotifications;org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Rfkill;org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.ScreensaverProxy;org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Sharing;org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Smartcard;org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Sound;org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Wacom;org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.XSettings;21:55
amesserok, so probably you need to install some extra packages21:56
avbox14If I remove budgie-polkit, it does start with bugdie-desktop, will have some more investigations21:56
amesserhmm, budgie-polkit should be provided by budgie-core package22:03
amesseravbox14: could you check if libpolkit-gobject-elogind-1-0 and libpolkit-backend-elogind-1-0 packages are installed?22:04
amesseravbox14: could you check if libpolkit-gobject-elogind-1-0 and libpolkit-backend-elogind-1-0 packages are installed?22:15
amesseranyway, sorry, gtg now...22:15
amessergood luck :-)22:15
avbox14@amesser: It helped, but I had to stat /etc/init.d/ligthdm, but now everything is ok, thank you very much22:19
