phidouxfinaly worked it out01:43
phidouxhttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Examples - https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=259661 - ln -s to create /usr/share/alsa-card-profile/mixer/ using profile-sets directly from /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-sets01:43
phidouxi had to manualy create the new directory01:43
phidouxbut the custom profile is working correctly01:43
phidouxthanks for your help the other day fsmithred and n4dir01:45
Fudgehi, is it known what appened to the blind friendly spin that was at devuan.kalos.mine.nu10:26
fsmithredFudge, that would probably be the devuan minimal-live iso. Try files.devuan.org12:51
APicHi. I am trying to build esound-0.2.41 and get „/usr/bin/ld: esd.o: undefined reference to symbol 'sin@@GLIBC_2.2.5'“ under chimaera/ceres18:05
APicWhat can i do?18:05
APichttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/16006145/ld-undefined-reference-to-symbol-log2glibc-2-2-5 says i probably need -lm18:08
GyrosGeiersounds right18:08
GyrosGeiersin would also live in -lm18:08
APic*nod*18:08
APic„sin“ just sounds more sinful 😉18:08
APicLDFLAGS='-lm' ./configure did the Trick ☺18:09
GyrosGeierit's just the sine function, which most CPUs have as a builtin18:09
GyrosGeierso people often don't notice the missing -lm because the only functions they used were inlined18:10
APic☺18:10
GyrosGeierexcept pedantic compilers will not inline without -ffast-math18:11
GyrosGeierbecause fsin is not IEEE conformant18:11
APic☺18:11
GyrosGeiersorry, obligatory rant about *real* CPUs :)18:11
APicWhoah, long Time no esd18:12
APicHow do i start it?18:12
APic„esd“ in a Shell just sits there and my Terminal shows a blinking Cursor18:12
APicAh18:13
APic„esd -bind localhost“ at least shows „- accepting connections on port 16001“ 🙌18:14
APicSad that 16001 is not in my /etc/services though 😉18:14
APicxarchon in my Debian-Etch-Chroot still has no Sound though18:17
APicLooks like i have to try some simpler EsounD-Clients first 😸18:17
APicInside esound-0.2.41: zsh: ./test-script: bad interpreter: /bin/tcsh: no such file or directory18:27
APicAt last a Reason to install csh ☺18:27
APicOkay, csh installs bsd-csh, so i actually need to install tcsh too ☺18:28
APicBut the test-script works, yay 🙌18:31
miskatonicis there a reason for using both csh and tcsh?18:31
IanJI guess, if you have scripts in something that are written to use a certain shell type that's not compatible.18:33
miskatonici used tcsh 25 years ago on an SGI Indigo workstation.18:37
IanJI still own an indigo2...18:38
miskatonicespecially netbsd fans often revive unix workstations from the last millennium18:45
r3bootnot just netbsd fans. It's also fun to go on OS archaological expeditions :)18:46
Guest92can i install debian testing packages on devuan?18:47
gnarfaceyou can but you shouldn't18:48
gnarfaceyou should use the devuan testing packages instead18:49
gnarfacethe ones that are the same are the same18:49
gnarfaceand the ones that are different will probably break your install so you don't want them anyway18:49
gnarface(most of them are the same, luckily)18:49
Guest92i can't find the devuan testing packages on the site so i was curious18:50
miskatonicmixing stable and testing is generally problematic18:50
Guest92to reword my question, how would install devuan testing18:50
Guest92*how would i install devuan testing18:50
gnarfaceGuest92: the process isn't different from upgrading to debian testing, except it's called "chimera" instead of "bullseye"18:52
gnarfaceGuest92: https://www.devuan.org/os/releases18:52
Guest92ok so i just replace beowulf in sources with chimera18:53
gnarfaceyep18:53
Guest92thanks18:53
gnarfaceno problem18:53
gnarfacegood luck18:53
IanJI found a link the other day about migrating debian buster to devuan beowulf, I can't seem to find it again...19:06
IanJI got it!19:07
fsmithredhttps://www.devuan.org/os/install19:07
IanJthanks fsmithred :)19:08
IanJAre there significant differences other than the default init system?19:08
fsmithredno. 99% of the packages in the repo are unchanged from debian19:09
gnarfaceIanJ: just that one is enough to be a headache if you've never learned how to manage unix filesystem permissions though19:09
fsmithredoh19:10
gnarfaceIanJ: (at least, if you never learned to and really didn't want to, anyway)19:10
gnarfaceIanJ: the primary difference other than init behavior itself (which desktop users mostly shouldn't have to touch with either system) is that systemd bypasses all security defaults to give the local physical console user access to everything by default.19:12
gnarfaceIanJ: (with all other init systems, you have to grant yourself access to protected stuff)19:13
IanJI used slackware for a number of years and then debian long before it jumped to systemd.19:13
fsmithredisn't that a desktop environment thing anyway, even without systemd?19:13
gnarfaceIanJ: oh, you should be fine then.  it'll be just like debian wheezy19:13
IanJgnarface: neat!19:13
fsmithredjust be aware of the tricky points in the migration. They are in the guide.19:14
gnarfacefsmithred: no actually, but if you're running NVidia drivers in Xorg in suid-root mode, they'll do it for the core keyboard on the dl19:14
fsmithredyeah, welcome home19:14
gnarfacefsmithred: (so when i switched to amdgpu just recently, i thought my keyboard batteries had died for a panicked moment)19:15
gnarfacefsmithred: (they were fresh batteries)19:15
IanJI'll follow the instructions to the word. I would ideally jump to runit, it sounds like the best balance. But I'll save that shot in the foot for later :)19:16
gnarfacefsmithred: (basically, that cleared up a long-standing confusion i had about why i didn't seem to need to be in the "input" group)19:16
fsmithredIanJ, there are a couple of devatives that have runit isos to play with19:16
fsmithredwow, that's kind of an obscure thing19:17
IanJfsmithred: but probably no documented path from debian buster. I'll stick with the instructions :)19:17
fsmithredyeah, migrate first19:17
fsmithredswitching to runit is not difficult. Do it later.19:17
IanJcool, will do :)19:18
fsmithredthere are instructions for that on the forum19:18
fsmithredoh, had to re-read what you said. The derviatives have live-isos with runit. There is no migration path to those from anywhere.19:19
IanJThat's fine. I'm happy enough to go buster -> beowulf and then look at runit later.19:21
brocashelmi've had runit on my systems since july and have had no issues, even if it's not a "complete" implementation (compared to artix or void)19:28
IanJbrocashelm: good to hear that :)19:32
IanJI've changed my sources list and going through the steps one at a time.19:33
brocashelmnice19:33
IanJuhoh19:34
IanJThe following packages have unmet dependencies:19:35
IanJ dconf-gsettings-backend : Depends: dconf-service (>= 0.30.1-2) but it is not going to be installed19:35
IanJ                           Depends: dconf-service (< 0.30.1-2.1~) but it is not going to be installed19:35
IanJwish me luck, reboot time19:38
IanJOK!19:42
IanJStill hangin in there :)19:42
IanJI have /sbin/init as pid119:42
IanJI have an alert screen warning me of it trying to uninstall the same version of the kernel as I'm meant to be running.19:44
IanJIt doesn't mention anything about this in the howto..19:45
IanJwhich linux image should I be on for x86 64 bit?19:51
IanJHoping it's this one  linux-image-4.19.0-12-amd6419:57
ErRandirending in amd64 is good19:58
IanJI'll try rebooting, that should complete the migration.20:01
IanJbrb, I hope :)20:01
fsmithredhe's migrating from buster, so it's the same kernel20:16
SoltisSidegraded Debian 10 to Ceres; no special config aside from that - cron is not emailing root or anywhere else when jobs fail.20:16
SoltisWhy would something as fundamental as cron be completely hosed by default?20:17
miskatonicsidegraded ... what a word20:17
Soltismiskatonic: Got a better one?20:18
fsmithredwe usually say 'migrated'20:25
fsmithredor upgraded, which is more what you did20:25
SoltisAnyway, I followed the steps on the Devuan site for this process & didn't apparently end up with a fully working system.20:26
fsmithredI seem to be getting no system mail in chimaera.20:27
fsmithredThis is the first time I checked. There are no directories in /var/mail or /var/spool/mail20:27
SoltisInteresting.20:27
fsmithredI have an exim4 init script and exim4 is running20:28
fsmithredif I change the hostname, then the FQDN for exim should also be changed, shouldn't it?20:32
SoltisI'd expect so, but I'm less familiar with exim.20:32
fsmithredI'm running 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config' and it has the old hostname.20:32
fsmithredoh, they call it the mail name20:33
fsmithredI thought that would ask me who should receive system mail, but it didn't20:37
Soltissystem mail should IIRC go to 'root'20:51
SoltisI.e. no hostname, just the user20:51
fsmithredthe debconf config used to ask who should receive the system mail. In the past, it was usually the primary user. (In the long ago past, root used to get it, but I think that was when I was on suse or redhat.)20:53
fsmithredin beowulf it is going to root. Actually to /var/mail/mail which only root can read.20:53
miskatonicwould it be possible to forward system mail to everyone in the wheel group?20:54
fsmithred2014 bug report says edit /etc/aliases. The question only gets asked if that file does not exist.20:55
fsmithredmiskatonic, I don't know. I haven't come across anything like that. I think you would have to list them all.21:02
macondo123hi all, i tried to install dev1 on my other box, server down, anybody knows if it is up now?21:45
fsmithredmacondo123, when did you try?21:46
macondo123befor noon EST21:47
fsmithredit was down a few days ago for maintenance, but ony for a short time21:47
fsmithredoh, maybe a mirror was syncing. Try again.21:47
macondo123ok, thank you21:47
