systemdlete2 | ok, once again, I forgot: Does Star use the devuan repos, or does it have its own? | 11:20 |
systemdlete2 | I'm trying to do a star net install, and it complains that there is not a valid release file. | 11:21 |
systemdlete2 | It seems to be almost identical to the devuan net install, so I'm wondering why it is failing. | 11:21 |
onefang | It's possible you hit that package repo while it was syncing to the upstream package repo. It happens every now and then. Wait ten minutes and try again. | 11:22 |
systemdlete2 | onefang: Thanks! | 11:22 |
systemdlete2 | (I figured it might be that) | 11:22 |
onefang | If it's saying which repo, lemme know which it is. | 11:22 |
systemdlete2 | https://imgur.com/kKOeAwR | 11:27 |
onefang | That says deb.devuan.org, which is the DNS round robin, but doesn't say the actual mirror IP it resolved to for you at that time. | 11:29 |
systemdlete2 | You know what? Somehow I don't think the network is set up correctly. I'm checking | 11:31 |
systemdlete2 | It's nat'd ... I was able to do this with beowulf, so I'm not sure what's up. I cannot reach the Internet, so I have more to look at yet. | 11:33 |
systemdlete2 | onefang: nvm. I fingerchecked... I have network again. | 11:36 |

john24 | hello | 16:16 |
john24 | i seem to have an issue with with a TP-link adapter is anyone here willing to help? | 16:17 |
john24 | i am currently on devuan chimera | 16:19 |
john24 | the wifi adapter uses a realtek chip | 16:19 |
john24 | according to lsusb it's a RTL8192EU | 16:19 |
john24 | which should be included on the firmware-realtek package | 16:19 |
john24 | but i still can't get the system to use it | 16:20 |
Tenkawa | when you do a dmesg | grep firmware do you get any firmware missing messages? | 16:21 |
john24 | nope | 16:22 |
john24 | oh i should also say that the unstable repo is also enabled | 16:22 |
Tenkawa | the RTL8192EU has a fair number of variations.. its not quite as straightforward of a driver as it should be | 16:22 |
john24 | well | 16:23 |
Tenkawa | if you do a google search you'll see that its got many variations of the chipset that might need specific branched drivers | 16:23 |
john24 | at least i know it works on ubuntu and windows... | 16:25 |
john24 | so its not dead :) | 16:25 |
Tenkawa | whats your kernel config show for CONFIG_RTL8192CU | 16:25 |
Tenkawa | it may just not be modprobed | 16:26 |
Tenkawa | or not enabled in the kernel at all | 16:26 |
john24 | its CONFIG_RTL8192CU=m | 16:28 |
onefang | Is it a TL-WN722N? | 16:28 |
john24 | TL-WN821N | 16:28 |
john24 | V6 to be exact | 16:29 |
john24 | or i think its V6? the paper on the back says V6 linux says its V5 | 16:29 |
onefang | The 722 is what I have on my test box, I can help with that, but not any others. | 16:29 |
Tenkawa | john24: is that the odd one? | 16:29 |
john24 | I do happen to also have a WN722N | 16:30 |
Tenkawa | this is a really obfuscated chipset | 16:30 |
john24 | TN-W722N is atheros though onefang | 16:31 |
Tenkawa | er I typoed | 16:33 |
Tenkawa | I said EU once and then CU once | 16:33 |
john24 | ah just noticed that | 16:36 |
Tenkawa | thhttps://linux-hardware.org/?id=usb:2357-0107 | 16:36 |
Tenkawa | does it match this lsusb? | 16:37 |
Tenkawa | USB 2357:0107 | 16:37 |
john24 | yes | 16:37 |
john24 | i guess i should check for CONFIG_RTL8XXXU ? | 16:37 |
Tenkawa | RTL8XXXU is the driver you want | 16:37 |
onefang | If you need help with a TL-WN722N let me know. I'll turn on my test box and go digging. | 16:38 |
Tenkawa | if you look below 2 git projects for it | 16:38 |
Tenkawa | onefang: completely different driver than yours | 16:39 |
Tenkawa | yours is Atheros.. his is Realtek | 16:40 |
onefang | That's why I'm only affering help for mine, he said he has one of those as well. | 16:41 |
Tenkawa | ahh ok.. cool… ath9k are good devices too | 16:41 |
johnt440s | well | 16:54 |
johnt440s | now it works | 16:54 |
johnt440s | thanks | 16:54 |
hiddener | long live devuan | 16:55 |
johnt440s | yes | 16:55 |
johnt440s | gotta say i really do like openrc | 16:55 |
johnt440s | :) | 16:55 |
hiddener | i have it with openrc too ;) | 16:55 |
onefang | I have a document in PDF that I need to sign, and a graphics tablet I can use to do the signing. Anyone know any software in Beowulf that would let me do that? | 17:13 |
onefang | If not, something I ran use to add a graphic file on top of the PDF, coz I can always scrawl my signature in GIMP. | 17:13 |
onefang | No I don't own a printer. | 17:14 |
onefang | Hmm, LibreOffice might work. | 17:23 |
nemo | onefang: heh. gimp is my fav method to scrawl a signature layer ☺ | 17:25 |
nemo | onefang: be real careful with libreoffice's PDF editing | 17:25 |
nemo | doublecheck the final result | 17:25 |
nemo | against the original | 17:25 |
onefang | Any other PDF editing software that I don't have to be careful with? | 17:26 |
nemo | gimp? | 17:26 |
nemo | updf has this built in apparently | 17:26 |
nemo | but haven't used it | 17:27 |
onefang | GIMP wants to split the PDF into page per image. | 17:27 |
nemo | onefang: problem with libreoffice is it's editing the PDF as a vector doc then exporting and I've had layout issues afterwards, or missing bits | 17:27 |
nemo | onefang: you can choose to do layer per page instead in the GIMP import | 17:27 |
nemo | onefang: it's my preferred way to do it | 17:27 |
nemo | I've filled out like 20 page PDFs full of text that way | 17:27 |
nemo | I just add text fields everywhere, then drag the next page above 'em, start a ton more text fields, sometimes cloning | 17:28 |
nemo | https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/85873/how-can-i-add-a-signature-png-to-a-pdf-in-linux | 17:28 |
onefang | updf isn't in Beowulf according to synaptic. Is it part of another package? | 17:28 |
nemo | has an ubuntu PPA apparently, so could probably download a .deb from there... | 17:29 |
nemo | I'm unfamiliar with it though | 17:29 |
nemo | I just use gimp | 17:29 |
nemo | someone else on that stackexchange provided a script. that seems kinda fiddly to me | 17:29 |
onefang | Ah, looks like GIMP can export all those pages into one file. | 17:36 |
onefang | The instructions at the bottom of that stackexchange page nemo posted, using GIMP, did the trick. Though I scrawled on a new layer inside the PDF layers instead of doing a separate PNG. | 18:00 |
onefang | Thanks nemo. | 18:01 |
nemo | np | 18:06 |
nemo | onefang: yeah. that's what I do | 18:06 |
onefang | Basically - open the PDF in GIMP, use default "pages as layers". This gives you one page per layer. Turn off the visibility of pages on top of the one you want to scrawl on. Create new layer, move it on top of the target page layer, scrawl on it, merge it down. Make all page layers visible. Export as PDF, choose layers as pages, and invert the order of layers. | 18:06 |
nemo | onefang: actually, what I really did was. A decade ago I took a nice fat black permanent marker, scrawled my signature real big on a white page, scanned that at a high resolution, opened it in Inkscape and used their trace function | 18:06 |
nemo | onefang: I then exported it to svg and I use it whenever I have a stupid form to fill out. | 18:06 |
nemo | import the svg as a layer into libreoffice, gimp, whatever. | 18:07 |
onefang | I have a graphics table I use as a mouse pad, that I can use for scrawling easily. | 18:07 |
nemo | nice | 18:07 |
nemo | been meaning to get one of those | 18:07 |
nemo | esp since I lost wacom stylus on my phone *sniff* | 18:07 |
nemo | note 4 was best android phone, hardware wise. I miss it | 18:07 |
onefang | It's an ancient Wacom, but it still works fine. | 18:08 |
nemo | yeah. samsung notes use wacom licensed stylus. it is awesomeness. since I had to abandon my note 4 last year due to failing hardware, I've lost my stylus. I guess I should buy a proper tablet | 18:08 |
nemo | maybe one of those where you can mirror the display for easier drawing | 18:08 |
onefang | I even do OpenSim terraforming with it. B-) | 18:09 |
nemo | onefang: the svg file is still a timesaver though | 18:09 |
nemo | but thankfully signatures like that are rare these days. mostly just government forms | 18:10 |
nemo | no one is that dumb elsewhere | 18:10 |
onefang | Yep. So rare I forget how to do my own signature. lol | 18:10 |
nemo | hehe | 18:10 |
onefang | This was a step up from "we use this web site to digitally sign documents", but that web site wants me to agree to FIVE legal documents before I even got to see the document, four of them lengthy. I'm not agreeing to FIVE legal documents for some unrelated web site, I'm signing this one damn legal document I need to sign. So she sent me a PDF instead. | 18:13 |
onefang | But now I'm getting off topic. lol | 18:14 |
nemo | onefang: have you seen the hilarious (and thankfully rarely necessary) tool to make a PDF look faxed for signature purposes? | 18:22 |
onefang | No. | 18:22 |

nemo | don't use the website. just read the comments | 18:23 |
