Guest10711ok this scary00:01
gnarfaceyou only care about the lines containing "(EE)"00:01
Guest10711systemd-logind: took control of session00:01
gnarface??00:02
gnarfacepaste it up to paste.debian.net and give me the link00:02
gnarfaceyou said this is the devuan live image?00:02
Guest10711yes both00:02
Guest10711I can paste a screenshot00:03
Guest10711im on UbuntuTouch phone atm00:03
gnarfaceoh, you can't get network up on it either?00:03
gnarfacei wonder if you just need a newer kernel00:04
Guest10711network is up luckily, but no gui00:04
gnarfacewhat kernel is that in that live image?00:04
gnarfaceoh00:04
gnarfacewell if the network is up you can use pastebinit00:04
gnarfaceyou don't need a mouse for that00:04
gnarfacejust install pastebinit00:04
Guest10711EE open /dev/dri/card000:05
Guest10711EE Unable to find framebuffer00:05
gnarfacewhat does "uname -a" output?00:05
Guest10711EE screen 0 deleted cause no config00:06
Guest10711EE No framebuffer mode, please specify busIDs00:06
Guest10711Linux Devuan 4.19.0-9-amd6400:08
gnarfaceyea that's too old00:08
Guest10711Debian 4.19.118-200:08
gnarfaceyou either need to get the backports kernel on there or the unstable kernel00:08
Guest10711the install uso was gotten today let me jump off li e00:08
Guest10711ok this Iso was downloaded today, non-live is00:11
Guest10711Debian 4.19.118-2+deb10u100:11
gnarfacenon-live?  so you can install the backports kernel?00:12
Guest10711i went to ftp off devuan.org for iso00:12
Guest10711Im off live in non booting system00:12
gnarface?00:13
gnarfacei'm confused about what you're saying00:14
gnarfacedeb http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf-backports main contrib non-free00:15
gnarfaceadd this to your /etc/apt/sources.list ^^00:15
gnarfacethen run this: apt-get update && apt-get -t beowulf-backports install linux-image-amd64 linux-headers-amd64 firmware-amd-graphics00:16
Guest10711ok, does it have to be non free00:16
gnarfaceoh, right00:16
gnarfaceit might not have to be, i don't know00:16
gnarfaceyou can omit contrib and non-free00:16
gnarfacethen also omit firmware-amd-graphics00:16
Guest10711Im just saying the issue is the same for ISO install and also Live00:16
gnarfaceok i understand, my advice stays the same00:17
gnarfacetry the beowulf-backports kernel00:17
gnarfacelinux-image-amd6400:17
gnarfaceactually it might not be that easy00:17
gnarfaceyou could try this first to see what kernels are available: apt-get -t beowulf-backports search ^linux-image-00:18
gnarface(you still have to run "apt-get update" first either way)00:20
Guest10711installing00:21
Guest10711firmware-amd-graphics is non free Im guessing00:22
johnny222Yes00:22
gnarfaceyea,00:22
gnarfacei don't know for sure you'll need it, but it's possible you will have reduced functionality without it00:23
gnarfaceif it's like regular amd video cards, 2d, unaccelerated graphics will still work00:23
Guest10711ok, linux-header-amd64 backports done00:23
gnarfacemake sure it's actually the backports one it's pointing to00:23
Guest10711yea i know usb3 surveillance runs through gpu lol00:24
gnarfaceit's like 5.10 or something like that00:24
gnarface5.9 or 5.10 at least00:24
Guest10711installing linux-image00:26
gnarfacealso, make sure your user is in the "video" group00:29
gnarfacethough, if it comes down to that, the errors should change in the xorg log accordingly00:29
Guest10711no change in errors :(00:30
Guest10711after reboot and startx00:30
Guest10711so no coice but non free?00:31
Guest10711is there a way to o ly pull amd-firmware and nothing else for future apt-get upgrades?00:31
Guest10711apt-cache search has image-5.900:34
Guest10711bpo00:34
Guest10711theres alot of 4.19nvm im on bpo00:35
gnarfaceare you sure you are actually on the new kernel?  was there any change to the output of "uname -a" ?00:37
Guest10711no 5.10 for me :(00:37
Guest10711uname is 5.9 bpo00:37
gnarfaceapt-get install firmware-amd-graphics00:38
gnarfaceer, sorry, i mean: apt-get -t beowulf-backports install firmware-amd-graphics00:38
gnarfacethen remove that backports line from your sources.list (or comment it out)00:38
gnarfacethen re-run "apt-get update" and future upgrades will not include backports even by accident00:39
Guest10711i need to non-free a src00:39
gnarfacemaybe, i'm not sure00:41
gnarfaceyou don't want to install *everything* from backports00:41
gnarfacei think you only want firmware-amd-graphics and the kernel and headers00:41
gnarfaceyou might also need mesa00:41
gnarfacefrom there00:41
gnarfaceif it's there00:42
Guest10711which one to non-free?00:42
gnarfacei'm not sure what you're asking00:42
gnarfacethere's no non-free kernel, just firmware-amd-graphics is in non-free00:43
Guest10711beowulf, security, updates, or just backports, or all?00:43
gnarfacejust backports00:44
gnarfaceyou should literally only need that one package from non-free00:44
Guest10711how do I add words in vim lol00:44
Guest10711i only learned cc or r00:45
gnarfacejust use nano instead00:45
gnarfacethe instructions are printed at the bottom00:45
gnarfaceit's i for insert, i think though00:46
Guest10711firmware-amd-graphics no candidate, another package00:49
gnarfacein beowulf backports?00:50
gnarfacehmmm00:50
rrqfirmware-amd-graphics is in beowulf/non-free00:50
gnarfaceis there just not one in backports?00:50
Guest10711oops hang on00:50
Guest10711i non freed security00:51
Guest10711beowulf main non-free00:53
Guest10711and00:53
Guest10711beowulf-backports main non-free00:53
Guest10711it has to say contrib00:58
* rrq thinks that if that is a question then the answer is no01:00
gnarfacei always use contrib and non-free together, i dont' know01:00
Guest45264Install the firmware-amd-graphics, libgl1-mesa-dri, libglx-mesa0, mesa-vulkan-drivers, and xserver-xorg-video-all packages:01:15
gnarfacesounds like a good start01:17
Guest45264and a successful reboot!01:17
gnarfaceyou mean you have graphics?01:17
Guest45264thx so much, gratz to devuan being picked up by gnu to replace gnewsense01:18
gnarfaceindeed01:18
gnarfaceyou're welcome01:18
Guest45264gratz on being noticed bt ParrotOS01:18
Guest45264now I can get back on TrueGreatAwakening telegram channel01:21
Guest45264should I move the kernel and headers ?back01:22
gnarfaceGuest45264: what?  no, you need to keep the bpo stuff01:28
gnarfaceGuest45264: backports firmware and mesa stuff is intended to be used together with the backports kernel, as a set01:30
xrogaanPackage: firmware-amd-graphics || Version: 20200918-1~bpo10+101:30
xrogaanapt -t beowulf-backports install firmware-amd-graphics01:30
xrogaanusing the three 'main contrib non-free'01:31
xrogaanchannels (damn you fingers for hitting enter too fast)01:31
rrqyes... turns out pkginfo didn't have "contrib non-free" for bpo01:43
Mike3Hello again01:44
johnny222Usually I get an error on a fresh devuan install when I first start using apt01:44
Mike3What is the config for pulseaudio not configing01:45
Mike3lol not loading01:45
fsmithredlook in /etc/pulse/client.conf.d/01:45
fsmithredit'll be obvious "autospawn" in the name01:46
fsmithredand comment tells you what to do01:46
rrqjohnny222: probably a key change between the making of the install media and the present01:47
johnny222How would I go about fixing that01:49
johnny222Usually I just edit the sources and it works alright01:49
fsmithredjohnny222, 'apt update' and then tell it 'yes'01:49
fsmithredwhen it talks about the suite changing01:49
fsmithredif you do apt-get update you don't get a useful message01:50
fsmithredor a chance to say yes01:50
johnny222Thanks01:50
johnny222Will do01:50
fsmithredthat won't be a problem with the next set of isos01:51
Xenguyfsmithred: I've never heard of apt and apt-get behaving differently like that, is that common or is this an edge case in that regard02:06
Xenguy*is this common02:06
fsmithred not common02:06
fsmithredand it's a new thing02:06
XenguyHrm, is this a new feature of apt that apt-get doesn't have, or ...?02:07
fsmithredwhen a suite graduates from testing to stable you get a message on your first update.02:07
fsmithredassuming you were running testing02:07
fsmithredand if you make a set of installer isos before that suite graduates...02:08
fsmithredthen everyone gets that message on their first update02:08
fsmithredapt get just complains and doesn't tell you how to fix it02:08
fsmithredand there's probably some long apt-get option to get around it02:08
XenguyNot happy with that, as I tend to use apt-get typically02:09
XenguyPerhaps I'll have to get on the apt train after all02:09
fsmithredI use both02:09
fsmithredand aptitude, too02:09
fsmithredapt update, aptitude -s install/upgrade,02:10
XenguyUntil I heard this, apt and apt-get were pretty much functionally equivalent, AFAICT02:10
fsmithredand then usually apt or apt-get to actually install al package02:10
fsmithredapt is more likely to change02:10
fsmithredthey warn against using it in scripts for that reason02:11
XenguyMy hesitance with using aptitude was learning at some point that, unlike apt and apt-get, apt-get and aptitude were not necessarily fully co-functioning if you will...02:11
fsmithredthey are mostly the same02:11
fsmithredoh, that was long ago02:12
fsmithredthey've been compatible probably since squeeze or wheezy02:12
fsmithredaptitude is nice sometimes when you run into conflicts. It will give alternatives.02:12
XenguyI got scared off aptitude for that reason, but as you say, if I consistently used apt or apt-get for the insallation part, then using aptitude for other things is perfectly fine02:12
XenguyYeah makes sense02:14
fluffywolfanyone here in the mood to submit a bug?  I find debian's bugtracker incredibly painful to make work.06:20
fluffywolfI have a patch.  :P06:20
fluffywolfsubmitting the bug/patch upstream to their github.06:38
n4diri can't figure out how to make this motherboard, ASRock, boot from USB stick. If i go in the "BIOS" menu, boot, boot options, all i see is 1) debian (SATA3_1 GP***) 2) Windows Boot Manager 3) Disabled and 4) same like 1, but *** is different for GP**08:50
n4dirASRock UEFI VERSION J410SB-ITX P1.3008:50
n4diri don't see CD, usb or anything like that08:52
rrqsame thing wether usb stick is inserted or not?09:15
n4dir yes, as far i can tell yet09:16
n4diri can't even remember how i made it boot from CD, to install devuan. Probably it happened automatically09:17
n4diri never had an UEFI system. How does this usually work?09:17
rrqautomagically :)09:18
n4diriirc: for BIOS there usually is keyboard-shortcut, and you then can choose from what to boot (besides setting it in the BIOS menu itself)09:19
rrqunfortunately there's a plethora of uefi implementations with all sorts of different quirks09:20
rrqit sounds like your system doesn't boot from usb; is there some eentry to "define" or "set up"  new boot options?09:22
n4dirin "Boot" all which is to be seen is what i said09:22
rrqfwiw the "efi boot partition" on the iso is the second partition09:23
rrqI guess you tried 1 and 409:24
n4diri tried all which i found. Windows boots windows, Debian boots Devuan, and thats about it09:25
rrqrandom advice: "As you boot, hit F11 to bring up the boot device menu" ...09:27
n4diryeah, found that and will try it next. Thanks. Thanks in general09:28
rrqprobably needs a USB 2.0 port09:29
n4dirk, rrq thanks so far. I will investigate later, and if i know more, ask again09:29
ltsAnyone with salt-minion? There's a 10ish VM environment I'd like to migrate from buster to beowulf, and it's managed by salt. However, upon migration the salt-minions no longer start. After starting them once, killing the process, and starting the minion again, it just works. The behaviour is the same no matter are the services launched by init at boot, or manually (via service or by launching the11:46
ltscommands directly) after network is certainly up. The minion's log_level "trace" shows nothing after "Getting lsb_release distro information" in the first start, and getting the grains in the second start. lsb_release -a works fine, though says "No LSB modules are available." before showing Devuan, Beowulf, and so on.11:46
sauron-hi all15:36
sauron-im using devuan beowulf, full update-upgrade, im having problems with transparency15:36
sauron-changed from slim to lightdm if it matters15:37
sauron-the transparency in terminals is not working15:37
sauron-terminals installed where i need transparency: guake, mate-terminal, tilda15:38
Jorilwhich window manager are you using?15:45
sauron-Joril xfce16:19
Jorilis the compositor active?16:20
sauron-yes16:20
JorilWhich graphic card are you using?16:21
sauron-wait...16:23
sauron-Joril Intel Mobile 4 Series Integrated Graphics vendor: Acer Incorporated AL16:24
Jorilcould be something at the driver level... Sorry nothing more comes to mind :(16:26
sauron-Joril https://t.me/IRCcaptures/7016:26
sauron-ok, the compositor works but in the guake menu, the slide of transparency does nothing16:27
sauron-in general, background of inactive windows works, these slides are well but in the terminals i mentioned (tilda, mate-terminal, guake) that slide of transparency does nothing16:29
sauron-in general, background of inactive windows works etc etc, these slides are well but in the terminals i mentioned (tilda, mate-terminal, guake) that slide of transparency does nothing16:29
sauron-ok, nevermind, after select compositor active all i had to do was restart tilda, guake and mate-terminal16:38
sauron-all good now16:39
sauron-great job with devuan!!!!16:39
ltsOk I found the cause of my salt-minion issue above - the devuan sysvinit script has the "-d" flag which is warned against in https://ansible-cn.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/troubleshooting/minion.html . Removing the flag from /etc/init.d/salt-minion fixes the issue.16:43
j124560I just installed devuan through changing the top two default sources in apt from beowulf to chimaera (and I commented out the other lines) but I was wondering what the deal was with receiving security updates on chimaera19:33
j124560*devuan testing I meant in the beginning19:34
fsmithredeverything goes into unstable first and works its way down to testing.19:34
fsmithredafter a couple weeks, usually19:34
fsmithredsome security fixes happen faster19:35
j124560should I add the unstable testing19:35
fsmithredwhat's that?19:35
j124560i mean security lol19:35
j124560so tired19:35
fsmithredno, it doesn't exist yet19:35
j124560unstable security19:35
j124560o ok19:35
fsmithredonly one line needed19:35
fsmithredand deb-src only if you need to download sources19:35
j124560so no security yet for chimaera?19:36
fsmithrednope19:36
fsmithreddoesn't need it19:36
j124560thank u19:36
Guest64hello i'm having issues with libreoffice21:28
Guest64i recently upgraded from beowulf to ceres and tried starting libreoffice from the terminal, and libreoffice never started21:28
golinuxWhy ceres instead of chimaera?21:29
Guest64ceres is more current?21:30
golinuxceres  = Debian sid = unstable.21:31
Guest64i know21:31
fsmithredcan you run: /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/swriter21:32
fsmithred?21:32
golinuxThen expect breakage21:32
Guest64fsmithred i'll try that21:32
fsmithredand did you get any messages in the terminal?21:32
Guest64no21:32
Guest64i closed it after a bit21:33
fsmithredyou're not running a live-CD are you? There's an issue in beowulf where apparmor prevents libreoffice in live-CD21:33
fsmithredlive-CD/DVD/USB21:33
Guest64i used the live installer21:33
Guest64but it's on my computer's hard disk21:33
fsmithredcat /proc/cmdline21:33
fsmithredsee if apparmor is disabled21:34
fsmithredthat probably did not get carried over21:34
Guest64alright21:40
fsmithredreboot... brb21:56
