filipdevuan_So there is beowulf available now??01:47
gnarfacebeta disks in the repo01:48
gnarfacehttps://files.devuan.org/devuan_beowulf/01:48
filipdevuan_ok nice01:49
filipdevuan_is it quite stable??01:49
fsmithredit's been stable for months01:49
filipdevuan_oh that's great01:49
filipdevuan_:)01:49
fsmithredinstaller isos were tricky to get right01:50
fsmithredif you're upgrading, read the upgrade guide01:50
filipdevuan_no no01:50
filipdevuan_i will just get 3,5GB installer01:50
filipdevuan_3,7GB actually01:51
filipdevuan_ok cheers01:51
fsmithredthat'll work01:51
filipdevuan_downloading now :)01:52
yooeyI just tried devuan 3 beta on my desktop. So far everything works except 2 things: 1) If I try to do a non UEFI booted install, it will stall for a long time and eventually stall at "Attempting to initialize framebuffer." 2) Pulseaudio needs to be started manually for some reason03:06
redrickyooey:  Have you tried commenting out 'autospawn=no' in /etc/pulse/client.conf.d/00-disable-autospawn.conf, as suggested in the beta release notes at https://files.devuan.org/devuan_beowulf/Release_notes.txt ?  Worth a shot.03:14
yooeyAh, was it? Fair enough. I'm just throwing out any problems I have in case a dev reads it.03:15
yooeyBut yeah its pretty rock solid I will say03:15
redrickI think the devs would be particularly interested in details in the event that suggested fix does _not_ work.  ;->03:15
yooeyGood point my dude03:16
redrick(I'm just an itinerant syadmin, currently being powered by Moose Drool Ale.)03:16
filipdevuan_ok installed new beowulf and new red colour is sweet :P03:50
redrickCharging at the screen and goring it with your horns is not obligatory.03:53
ukinerol03:57
hemimaniacthe only thing wrong with my beta netinstall is it forgot a timeserver of some sort04:16
yooeyhemimaniac shoot I just noticed, my time is wrong too04:18
hemimaniacwell i don't know if it right or not (as I am no expert) but just a sec i'll dpaste my steps04:19
filipdevuan_hey hmm i kind of need winetricks for wine but i am on beowulf04:20
filipdevuan_is it possible to use ascii repositories??04:20
hemimaniacyooey: http://dpaste.com/1DJJRW404:23
masonfsmithred: You can just download a winetricks. It's a shell script, so there's almost nothing to package.04:30
filipdevuan_ok q4wine has done the trick nvm04:32
gnarfaceyea winetricks is here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks04:51
gnarfaceit is a single plain text file04:51
gnarfacea basic shell script04:52
gnarfaceoh he's gone already04:52
masongnarface: Did he go before I mistabbed?05:14
gnarfacemason: on my log, no06:14
gnarfaceit was immediately after that06:14
TwistedFateany news on when will next devuan release be out?12:14
bpmedleyTwistedFate : https://www.mail-archive.com/dng@lists.dyne.org/msg27041.html <-- Did you see the beta?12:26
TwistedFateoh i wasn't aware of that12:27
TwistedFatethanks12:27
TwistedFatehmm, my netinst (both ascii and beowulf) both get stuck at "Configuring apt - Scanning the mirror" step in expert install12:50
TwistedFateat 33%12:50
GyrosGeierthat takes a while12:51
GyrosGeierand needs network access12:51
TwistedFateit just failed12:51
GyrosGeierand a working mirror12:51
TwistedFatelooks like vbox doesn't have a working bridge adapter13:04
TwistedFategonna go with default (nat) this time13:04
cosurgifsmithred: do you think that I could get a sound working without all these packages?13:22
fsmithredcosurgi, which packages?13:22
cosurgiI pinned down: elogind consolekit libpam-elogind dbus libpam-dbus xdg-dbus-proxy gir1.2-polkit-1.0 libpolkit-agent-1-0 libpolkit-gobject-1-0 policykit-1 gvfs13:22
cosurgiupon your suggestions. :)13:22
fsmithredyes, you can get sound working without all that crap13:23
cosurgiIt's two months already and it all works great.13:23
fsmithredI made a nodbus build and sound works13:23
fsmithredyou need alsa-utils13:23
cosurgicurrently mplayer gives me:Failed to initialize audio driver 'sdl:aalib'13:24
cosurgiok13:24
cosurgihm, it's already installed.13:24
cosurgihm,hm.13:24
cosurgiin fact I don't even know if nouveau driver can produce sound.13:24
cosurgiI will ask at #nouveau13:24
cosurgilsmod gives this:13:25
cosurgisnd_hda_codec         155648  2 snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_intel13:25
fsmithredI used mpv in that build13:25
cosurgiwhat is mpv ?13:25
fsmithredmplayer fork13:25
cosurgiis it packaged?13:25
fsmithredwhich card is first?13:25
fsmithredyeah, it's in the repo13:25
fsmithredaplay -l13:26
fsmithredwhich one is card013:26

cosurgisorry13:27
fsmithredyou might get kicked13:27
fsmithredautomatic sentry can't tell friend from foe13:27
cosurgiis seems that nouveau is trying to provide some audio13:27
fsmithredrobocop13:27
cosurgiok. I'll be careful13:28
fsmithredwtf, you only have hdmi?13:28
cosurgiIn fact my screens are connected only via displayport.13:29
cosurgican displayport transfer sound?13:29
fsmithredI don't know13:29
fsmithredI was going to tell you to switch the order of the cards, but there's nothing to switch with13:29
cosurgiI tried mpv and got this: [ao/oss] Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: No such file or directory13:29
fsmithredI've never played with hdmi13:30
fsmithredor display port13:30
cosurgiwhen I launch alsamixer I see some info like: Chip: Nvidia GPU 84 HDMI/DP13:30
fsmithredthere's probably a way to do it13:30
cosurgithe "DP" would suggest that displayport can do that. Also I turned up volume on my LCD screens to max and I hear a white noise.13:31
fsmithredtry debian wiki13:31
cosurgibut alsamixer shows only one card. I press F6 and I get: 0  HDA NVidia13:31
cosurgiok13:31
fsmithredyeah, aplay only shows the one card13:32
fsmithredisn't there a card on the motherboard?13:32
cosurgino13:32
fsmithredlspci should show it13:32
fsmithredoh13:32
cosurgiit's a server mobo.13:32
fsmithredso you'll have to get the hdmi working.13:33
fsmithredsorry I can't help13:33
cosurgiDP, actually :)13:33
cosurgiok. thanks a lot ;)13:33
fsmithredgood luck13:33
cosurgiI will let you know if I figure this out.13:33
cosurgifsmithred: you might want to peek at #nouveau imirking, the nouveau driver author tries to help me :)13:38
filipdevuan_hey i have downloaded wine64 and 32 on beowulf but i can't run installation of any application13:45
cosurgifsmithred: command `grep . /proc/asound/NVidia/eld*` shows some nouveaus displayport sound info. We tried `aplay -D hw:0,7 unshade.wav` and others. No success though yet.13:57
cosurgifsmithred: ok. He said he will check at home if displayport works, because he thinks it should ;)14:05
misterunknownHi. Whats the best™ way to install a kernel >5 in devuan ascii? Can I use the kernel from unstable? Or should I compile one myself?15:38
djphI'd personally compile it myself15:44
GyrosGeierI think it should just wuthe ones from unstable should work, I think15:44
GyrosGeierthe kernel packages generally have dependencies expressed properly15:44
hemimaniacI would suggest compiling one yourself if you feel comfortable doing so GyrosGeier , that way you can trim out all the amateur radio, pll pressure sensor , and 80's chipset stuffs outta it15:50
GyrosGeierthat is a different question though15:55
GyrosGeierand likely to backfire in this instance, because the self-compiled kernels often *don't* have accurate dependency information, so they will install on an older release without complaint and then fail to boot15:56
hemimaniacGyrosGeier: in that case you can compile it against the config file that ships with the stock 4.19.0.8 kernel then trim16:01
GyrosGeierno16:04
GyrosGeierthat wouldn't update the dependencies list in the package (if you are building one)16:05
misterunknownOk, thanks for your thoughts. I checked the few dependencies (apparmor stuff), and decided to install the kernel from unstable. I'm technically able to compile my own kernel, but that's nothing I want to hassle with. I just want to use wireguard.16:10
fsmithredyou could also try the beowulf-backports kernel16:11
fsmithredor even upgrade to beowulf16:12
misterunknownfsmithred: I'm not sure which status beowulf has already. Is it production-ready?16:13
misterunknown(more or less)16:13
fsmithredyeah, we just released beta installer media16:13
fsmithredother than that, it's been ready for some time16:13
fsmithredthe last forked packages to get done were mostly polkit related stuff16:14
misterunknownfsmithred: Ok. Well, then I guess I'll upgrade to beowulf. Thanks for the hint.16:14
fsmithredsee buster release notes for any specifics on server-related stuff16:15
fsmithredI know there's something about upgrading pgsql databases16:15
avboxDid somebody ever use flatpak? I wnated it to use with kdenlive, but after installing it, I don't can open a new project. Any ideas?17:58
golinuxNobody here cares much about flatpak17:59
masonEven I don't, and I'd be the likeliest candidate.18:26
djphI care about it only insofar as it's "yet another option"18:30
fsmithredI thought it required systemd18:32
nemohm. I'm running beowulf.  Is there any reason /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 would be missing?18:36
nemossh -YC localhost;xclock errors18:37
nemo(as does running it locally ofc)18:37
nemoer *remotely18:37
nemomaybe it got lost somehow.18:38
nemomight be time for a reboot anyway. can see if it comes back18:38
fsmithrednemo, I have that file18:45
fsmithredand the ssh command works18:47
nemo'k19:26
nemofsmithred: I wonder if /tmp filesystem ever deletes stuff without reboot19:27
nemofsmithred: I mean, that happens on all the work VMs, but I assumed that was just the VM server being annoyin19:27
nemo*g19:27
fsmithredI'm not aware of it ever doing that19:28
nemofsmithred: at work it's been really annoying19:30
nemofsmithred: not sure if it is debian/devuan specific since that's what all my VMs are these days19:30
nemofsmithred: but I lose the files for my keychain, tmux session, X session, any random temporary stuff I was doing in dev19:31
nemonot sure what seems to trigger it.19:31
specingnemo: no19:31
specingthere must be some process removing stuff there19:31
nemoI assumed it was something they were running that was killing19:31
nemoyeah19:31
specingit is not the fs19:31
kapilwhat this channel is about?19:31
fsmithredthis is a help channel for devuan linux19:32
nemospecing: so hard to tell 'cause they insist that I install the cylance "rootkit" and a sudo account for them19:32
kapiloh thanks19:32
kapilwhat is the differance between devuan linux and arch linux19:32
kapil i  use arch linux19:32
nemoI wonder if tmux would let me move its socket file to my home19:32
nemokapil: are you familiar with differences between arch and debian?19:33
kapilyes19:33
nemokapil: ok, well devuan is basically that minus systemd - it's more of a debian overlay that removes systemd19:34
specingnemo: who is them and why do you have to do that on your machine?19:34
nemospecing: on my machine, no, but on work machines, yes ☹19:34
nemoboth the VMs and laptops19:34
nemospecing: I had to pin beowulf kernel to ascii because Cylance's dubious kernel module only built against the older kernel19:35
nemoonly supports Ubuntu LTS19:35
kapilnemo oh great19:35
kapilwhat it use instead?19:35
nemokapil: traditional init..19:35
nemokapil: what debian used to use19:35
kapilhanks19:36
kapilthanks19:36
tom__How can I force the sr kernel driver to not reject sector requests to the physical media past the limit of the platter?20:33
tom__I know that the head of the drive is capable of it and so is the platter and there is in fact data on the platter that far out just a few more kilobytes20:35
tom__hmm20:45
avboxI tried several times to install flatpak and then shotcut or kdenlive. Installation with flatpak install org.kde.kdenlive (example) works. I can start the app with 'flatpak run org.kde.kdenlive', but I have no access to files (Project, Save as etc). Same in shotcut, not possible to save anything. Any ideas?22:25
avboxOk, I see, there is really no interest about flatpak. This is a pitty, because a lot of newer applications are not available in Devuan. So nobody can use them. If I find later nevertheless a soluton about flatpak and kdenlive, I will post it here. Have a good time.23:00
specingavbox: package those apps yourself23:02
masonavbox: Flatpak and Snap both have some issues. Native packaging is in just about every case better.23:06
avbox@specing: It is not so easy to package i.e. kdenlive. I need melt 6.20, at this stage I'm not able to compile libmelt. I see a lot of dependencies due to kde5. As I said I try it and if I success I will let everybody know it.23:10
specingavbox: ask the KDE packagers for help?23:11
avboxspecing: I will do it, but I don't think it is a question about kde, for me it looks a question about flatpak and devuan rights.23:12
specingavbox: why would it be a question about flatpak?23:13
specingYou aren't going to touch flatpak while making a package23:13
avboxmason: Flatpak works really well, only if I try to save or open data it does not work.23:13
masonavbox: Part of the notion is they wall themselves off a bit. That was part of the issue I whapped into with Snap. It's running from a little closed box and doesn't work quite like a normally-install applicataion.23:15
avboxspecing: I'm sorry, bat a native packaging for devuan with current kdenlive is out of my knowlege, but I will try to find a solution.23:15
specingavbox: ask KDE maintainers for help!!!23:16
masonavbox: If you don't want to get into normal packaging, GNU Stow is a great middle ground. I'm not sure what KDE project you're using so maybe it won't be ideal for that.23:16
avbox@mason: I'm not interested in snap, my impression is that flatpak would be much better then snap and currently I see a lot of maintained apps what I don't see from snap.23:16
masonavbox: And evidently Snap has proprietary bits on the server end. Flatpak is better in that sense.23:18
masonavbox: I can dig into Flatpak for Devuan at some point.23:18
masonHonestly I'd rather encourage traditional packaging, though.23:18
masonavbox: So... Are you looking for a particular version or something??23:19
masonavbox: I just looked, and I see this: https://bpaste.net/KTFA23:20
masonavbox: Which is to say, there's already a package available.23:20
avbox@mason: I see a lot of progess in kdenlive in last year. Even the devuan version from beowulf are plus/minus one year old, so it would be very helpfully to have a current kdenlive. AppImage works fine, but there I don't have OpenGL (slow preview), flatpak has OpenGL, but currently I can't open/save projects. I take every solution, no problem.23:28
masonavbox: Here's the thing - if it's already packaged, then learning to backport is a far sight easier than learning to package.23:29
avboxmason, and where can I start to backport kdenlive?23:31
masonavbox: A quick web search makes https://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/docs/staff/procedures/backporting-packages/ look potentially reasonable.23:32
avboxmason: Thank you, I will try it (but as I said earlier, due to libmelt 6.20, it looks like it is no easy job). But I will try to find a solution and thank you very much for your help.23:35
masonsure, happy to help - come back with questions as they arise23:37
golinuxThis is the forst time I can remember kdenlive on any devuan channel in the many years I've been here.  It's probably a square peg into a round hole in this camp23:44
golinuxforst > first23:44
golinuxavbox: I have to admit though that you are persistent23:45
golinuxYou really want someone here to jump onboard despite the silence.23:46
