frabbithi people. what ports are open by default?00:40
ulleta 'your mom' joke would be inappropriate i suppose00:41
frabbitullet: your dad jokes are welcome 0P00:41
frabbit=P00:41
ullet:) sorry.  I don't know the answer frabbit - i'm not sure any firewal comes configured with devuan00:42
ulleti think they're all 'open' just not listened-to00:42
frabbitiv runned a portscan on my publich ip adress and get 3 open ports there00:42
frabbit*public00:42
ulletsshd might be started by default.00:43
frabbitand it says Not shown: 997 closed ports00:43
ulletbut your public ip is normally served by a router00:43
frabbitthe three are ftp, somain and sip00:44
frabbit*domain00:44
some_alexhi, I'm going to install X now. I see 2 packages: xserver-xorg and xorg. Which one should I install?01:50
ulletxorg will pull in xserver-xorg02:11
some_alexullet: which package is used for what exactly?02:16
ulleti dunno02:17

golinuxAnd all OT for this channel21:22
CynicusAnyone have any luck installing drivers for an older Nvidia card?21:29
CynicusQuadro FX 180021:30
gnarfaceCynicus: try the legacy drivers if the normal ones don't support it anymore (apt-cache search ^nvidia-legacy)21:34
CynicusChecking21:35
gnarfaceif it's too old for those too, you might be stuck with nouveau21:35
CynicusIt says to use the nvidia-legacy-340xx drivers.21:36
gnarfacethose are the ones i'm talking about21:37
gnarfacethey should be in the repo if you included non-free in your sources21:37
CynicusLet me check and see...21:38
CynicusHmmmm....modprobe: FATAL: Module nvidia-legacy-340xx not found in directory /lib/modules/4.9.0-11-amd6421:38
CynicusBut apt says it's installed.21:39
gnarfacehmm21:39
Cynicusnvidia-legacy-340xx-driver is already the newest version (340.108-3~deb9u1).21:39
gnarfaceif you were missing the linux-headers package for your kernel at the time it was installed, dkms would have failed which might have caused this type of error21:40
CynicusAh. So just install the linux-headers?21:40
gnarfaceprobably, then re-install the nvidia-legacy driver or just re-run the dkms command (i'm not sure the exact dkms command though)21:40
CynicusLet me check and see...21:41
gnarfaceit would most likely be linux-headers-i386 or linux-headers-amd64, just make sure you pick the right one for your install21:41
gnarface(the one that matches the linux-image-* package)21:41
gnarfaceyou might see a bunch of different versions but the ones just named linux-headers-i386, linux-headers-amd64, linux-image-amd64, and linux-image-i386, will all track the current version to keep you updated21:42
CynicusWhat about the "all" selection?21:42
gnarfaceignore the "-all" ones, they will be included as necessary21:43
CynicusAlright.21:43
CynicusInstalling.21:43
gnarfacethe real important thing is that you just only use the "-i386" or "-amd64" one as appropriate for your existing install and kernel (you can check with "uname -a")21:44
CynicusI would think that an older Nvidia card(not too old though) would have had enough time to become somewhat stable.21:44
gnarfacei'm not familiar with that card number so i don't know for sure it needs the legacy driver21:44
gnarfacei'm not sure the legacy driver will even work21:44
CynicusYeah...it needs the legacy driver.21:45
CynicusThe driver is in the repo.21:45
CynicusNo errors doing modprobe this time around.21:46
Cynicusmodprobe nvidia21:46
CynicusShould I restart the Xserver, or reboot the computer?21:47
gnarfacesafer to reboot the whole thing, though that was only actually historically a physical requirement for some of their hardware, i haven't memorized which ones21:47
gnarfaceactually there is a non-zero chance with nvidia hardware you might in some cases need to do a full power down and cold boot21:48
gnarface(though I think that ended after the AGP era, i'm not 100% sure)21:48
CynicusAlright then. Be back in a few minutes. Wish me luck.21:49
gnarfacewoops, i probably should have mentioned to blacklist nouveau...21:53
CynicusHmmmm...would the nvidia driver conflict with the older embedded MB video driver?22:39
Cynicusdrm                   360448  6 mgag200,nvidia,ttm,drm_kms_helper22:39
gnarfaceCynicus: glad you made it back.  yes, sorry, i forgot to mention you probably need to blacklist the nouveau driver before you reboot22:40
CynicusIt's blacklisted.22:40
CynicusWondering if the mgag200 driver is conflicting.22:41
gnarfaceCynicus: mgag200 is for matrox cards.  you shouldn't be seeing that for a nvidia card.   and i don't think it will conflict with nvidia, or it shouldn't, anyway.22:41
CynicusOkay.22:41
CynicusIt's built into the Motherboard.22:41
gnarfaceyou should actually be able to use them both at once, but if you're not using the onboard one it is probably better to disable it in the BIOS to spare the resources22:42
CynicusGotcha.22:42
CynicusHmmmm...well, the kernel module loads22:42
Cynicusnvidia-smi works.22:43
gnarfaceXorg ships without a config these days, and relies on auto-detect by default, which, aside from being a bit flaky, might default to the matrox card since it's first on the PCI bus22:44
Cynicus[  166.719663] [drm] Initialized nvidia-drm 0.0.0 20150116 for 0000:02:00.0 on minor 122:44
CynicusAh. So I have to write my own config.22:44
gnarfaceyou no longer need the whole thing, but you might need enough of it to tell it to use the nvidia card instead if you leave the matrox one enabled22:45
CynicusI think I'll keep the matrox one enabled as a fallback until I'm sure I have the nvidia driver working right.22:45
gnarfaceit should be able to use both, but since they're not the same brand, then without xinerama, one will be the "main" one, and usually that's just whichever one it finds first22:46
gnarface(which is usually the onboard one because usuallly they put that one first on the bus)22:46
gnarfacewith proper configuration you should be able to use them both as separate heads, or as one head with xinerama and some software overhead22:47
CynicusGotcha. So I have to manually tell it to try the nvidia card first...then use the onboard card.22:47
gnarfaceyea22:47
gnarfaceshould be doable with just a partial xorg.conf, but you can still use a whole one if you want to control everything22:48
CynicusOkay. Gonna be lurking while I configure Xorg.22:50
gnarfacethat matrox driver is very good quality and it's hardware that's dead like latin, so there's every possibility it's better supported now than the nvidia one.  ymmv on which one is actually better to use based on that.22:50
CynicusWell...the resolution sucks.22:51
CynicusBe back in a little bit...22:51
