tuxd3v | BobbyBudnick, you should have amdkfd which is the kernel part of amdgpu and others | 00:42 |
tuxd3v | you can see it with 'lsmod' | 00:42 |
tuxd3v | and also amdgpu | 00:43 |
puria | ciao *, release history missing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devuan | 10:51 |
puria | and latest release not updated... maybe you want give some love to that page | 10:52 |
systemdlete2 | I changed the user password on my laptop (Devuan Ascii 2.1). Then I tried to encrypt the user home, which failed (I'll get back to that later). It ended up corrupting the user home, but thankfully I was able to restore. Its all working again, and I'm on the laptop now. But I could not log in via lightdm for some reason. It failed repeatedly. I was abble to start the current (this) session by logging in from console and | 15:54 |
systemdlete2 | startx. | 15:54 |
systemdlete2 | Why would lightdm have a problem all of a sudden? I didn't change lightdm or its config. | 15:55 |
systemdlete2 | the system auth log says the user tried to execute a program without privilege -- but it doesn't indicate WHAT program! | 15:55 |
r3boot | systemdlete2: did you check the logfiles of lightdm? | 16:04 |
systemdlete2 | no, wait... | 16:04 |
systemdlete2 | it seems to have reported an auth failure, but I don't see anything else. Paste? | 16:06 |
r3boot | in a pastebin | 16:08 |
systemdlete2 | http://paste.debian.net/1119066/ | 16:09 |
systemdlete2 | sorry to be slow, but this laptop is hard to work on | 16:10 |
r3boot | Authenticate result for user devmob: Authentication failure | 16:11 |
systemdlete2 | yep | 16:11 |
r3boot | that's the actual problem; Does that user exist? does his homedir exist? Can she/he read her/his homedir? | 16:11 |
systemdlete2 | but I can log in at a console with the same password | 16:11 |
systemdlete2 | yes, yes, and yes | 16:11 |
r3boot | Aha, okay. So why is lightdm not picking it up then :) | 16:12 |
systemdlete2 | I am logged in now, as a matter of fact | 16:12 |
systemdlete2 | right | 16:12 |
systemdlete2 | :) | 16:12 |
systemdlete2 | so PAM is not nice to the user in lightdm, but is OK from console with the same dude? | 16:13 |
systemdlete2 | PAM is psycho | 16:13 |
r3boot | yep, would point at an issue with PAM | 16:13 |
r3boot | but, unless you manually changed something in the policies, that should just work(tm) | 16:13 |
systemdlete2 | I did not touch PAM, to the best of my recollection | 16:13 |
r3boot | You also mentioned that your homedir got corrupted. What was the cause for that? | 16:14 |
systemdlete2 | (yes, one would think) | 16:14 |
r3boot | (yeah, just thinking out aloud here :) | 16:14 |
systemdlete2 | that was a "side effect" from my attemt at encrypting my home | 16:14 |
r3boot | aaaah, check | 16:14 |
systemdlete2 | that's another problem yet | 16:14 |
r3boot | yeah, just stick to LUKS the next time ;) | 16:14 |
r3boot | hrm.. work is calling as well :S | 16:15 |
systemdlete2 | I googled for a reason for the encrypt fail but found nothing relevant | 16:15 |
systemdlete2 | np | 16:15 |
systemdlete2 | next time. | 16:15 |
systemdlete2 | LUKS | 16:15 |
systemdlete2 | ok | 16:15 |
r3boot | https://www.linode.com/docs/security/encryption/use-luks-for-full-disk-encryption/ <-- something like this | 16:16 |
systemdlete2 | I will need to creat a separate /home. No point in the penalty for generic OS stuff. | 16:16 |
systemdlete2 | I mean, I don't care if the FBI finds out I've been running Devuan. ;) | 16:17 |
systemdlete2 | so PAM does not keep logs... | 16:22 |
mcr1 | r3boot, a problem with LUKS is swap. Ubuntu at least, won't let you put swap on plain disk if you have LUKS. (Devuan doesn't have this limitation, but I did it by mistake). The issue is that when you go into heavy swapping, like after resuming from a suspend, you wind up CPU starved due to I/O :-( | 17:10 |
mcr1 | I recently installed a separate Ubuntu in a second HD in my laptop as the "sacrificial" install for spooks due to a trip I was on. | 17:11 |
jaromil | tomb warns you about swap. LUKS is pointless for /home partition without physical key separation anyway... (IMHO) | 17:15 |
jaromil | Distrowatch made me notice a new Devuan derivative for professional audio works! https://viragelinux.com | 17:30 |
jaromil | Beowulf based, mounts a kernel patch for real-time | 17:30 |
jaromil | fsmithred: I bet you wanna take a peek. the DAW is REAPER (shareware.. strange not Ardour however..) full list of SW https://viragelinux.com/software/ | 17:31 |
furrywolf | ohh, shiny. but I think what I need next is two hardware parametric eqs, not plugins... | 17:33 |
furrywolf | I'm fed up with twiddling the sliders on my dual 31-band eqs just to end up with the stereotypical smiley when I'm done. | 17:35 |
jaromil | you mean physical controllers? MIDI/OSC can work for that? | 17:39 |
furrywolf | I mean I need more hardware to put in my rack, not a software solution. | 17:41 |
jaromil | ic | 17:41 |
coagen | I couldn't get pi-hole working on devuan :( they have some systemd dependency | 17:44 |
coagen | brb | 17:44 |
furrywolf | I currently have a pair of dual 31-band graphic equalizers, like https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/7roAAOSwBmhdd9-L/s-l300.jpg , with a zillion little sliders to adjust. They're adjusted into variations of a smiley, which is a joke people with real audio equipment make about those of us with lesser equipment, with the sliders looking like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smiley_face_curve . | 17:47 |
systemdlete2 | r3boot: Rebooting did wonders. It's all working again. Lightdm, yada. | 17:48 |
systemdlete2 | I'll not go near ecryptfs again; looking at lux now. | 17:48 |
furrywolf | a more-complex, and thus much more expensive, equalizer is a parametric equalizer, which lets you get smooth curves using just a few knobs, like https://images.reverb.com/image/upload/s--vZe6qH10--/f_auto,t_large/v1549196707/u3wh5mnpagr0iarr9znc.jpg . the functionality of one is a standard software feature in every DAW package, but I'd prefer hardware ones with the rest of what's in my rack. but they cost a lot. :) | 17:48 |
FatPhil | oh, man, why did tkdiff get merged into tkcvs? I want neither cvs nor subversion polluting my system. Nor tkcvs for that matter. I just want tkdiff. | 18:32 |
Magnus_K | Do any of you guys use the hezeh.org repository? | 20:02 |
Centurion_Dan | furrywolf: I'd suggest the software approach is better then those crummy hardware soln's where they give 3 or 4 knobs per curve and bugger all visual feedback about what the effect is. In that respect the 31 band eq's actually are better. On the software side there are quite a few nice plugins for linux DAW's particularly for Ardour. | 20:51 |
furrywolf | I wouldn't call a good parametric equalizer "crummy". | 20:52 |
* tuxd3v ZAS, tuxd3v is forking whiptail..to develop a new Library! | 22:52 | |
mason | You guys inspired me to order a low-end USB audio adapter today. My media center pops insanely, and hopefully the USB audio will do better. | 22:52 |
furrywolf | pops are other problems are usually caused by using pulseaudio. | 22:55 |
furrywolf | bbl, work | 22:55 |
mason | furrywolf: Not here. Both PA and raw ALSA get it, just at different times. | 22:56 |
mason | furrywolf: Right now the system's using straight ALSA. | 22:56 |
furrywolf | make sure you're actually using alsa, not pulse's alsa emulation | 22:57 |
furrywolf | bbl! | 22:57 |
Centurion_Dan | mason: you might get nice low latency with a higher end usb3 audio interface, usb2 is crap for audio... | 22:57 |
mason | Almost can't be worse than the popping. Let's see... | 22:58 |
Centurion_Dan | what chipset? | 22:58 |
mason | Actually, I'm not sure this box has USB3... Looking. | 22:58 |
mason | 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Atom/Celeron/Pentium Processor x5-E8000/J3xxx/N3xxx Series High Definition Audio Controller (rev 35) | 22:58 |
mason | Oh, xHCI, kk. | 22:59 |
mason | The USB audio device is assuredly low-end. | 22:59 |
mason | https://www.newegg.com/syba-sd-cm-uaud-usb-to-audio/p/N82E16812186035?Item=N82E16812186035 | 23:00 |
mason | It has good reviews. | 23:01 |
mason | I'll report back when it comes in. FWIW, the box is running Beowulf. | 23:01 |
Centurion_Dan | spend a little more and get a soundblaster pci-e | 23:01 |
mason | Hm. Let me see if this has a slot... It's super low-end. Not even a real power supply. | 23:02 |
mason | dmidecode says it has four slots, all in use, but I'm pretty sure they're not actual places for cards. | 23:03 |
Centurion_Dan | whats your usecase? | 23:03 |
mason | This box is plugged into my TV, and it shares up our DVDs over NFS, and Netflix/CBS All Access via Google Chrome. | 23:04 |
