gnarfacenot sure exactly... i think uninstalling then reinstalling all the xserver* and xorg* dependencies might do it, but you might also be able to just remove that legacy package and remove the setuid bit on one binary instead00:00
gnarfaceprobably easy to try the latter then resort to the former if it fails00:00
gnarfacemaybe someone has already made a write up somewhere00:00
gnarfaceoh, it'd be actually logging to ~/.local/share/xorg/ to be specific, sorry00:06
onefangJust a reminder, todays the day for my sledjhamr.org server move.  Due to start in two and a half hours.  So avoid using it's package and file mirror for eight hours after that.01:37
xisopah, i have to figure out how to see installed packages with apt.. i always forget that command02:43
xisopgnarface: i have: xserver-xorg-legacy/stable-security,now 2:1.20.11-1+deb11u3 amd64 [installed,automatic]02:44
gnarfaceyou can see installed packages with dpkg -l02:45
xisopi used `apt list --installed`, but i like that shorter version02:45
xisopoh, and it's better output :)02:45
fifiopenbsdIt's nearly 2am in England, and only #devuan and #python is active on my irc :(02:53
debdogthat'd be interesting if it'd be about #montypython :P02:55

onefangsledjhamr.org's Devuan mirrors are back up, but looks like they haven't hooked up IPv6 yet.11:59
u-amarsh04thanks onefang, downloading from sledjhamr.org now12:09
onefangYou where hanging out for it to get back?12:12
ravehaver9000hello chat12:59
ravehaver9000i wonder if i can mix packages from ceres into daedalus (for now)13:00
ravehaver9000this is because i want to get claws mail from the repository, but its not in daedalus, only the stable versions and ceres13:01
ravehaver9000ive also had some issues building it from source, so it'd be nice to have claws mail in daedalus' repository13:02
ravehaver9000to be honest i have this kinda feeling its because of debian's repo mantainers though13:02
u-amarsh04I've had stable, testing, unstable and experimental in my /etc/apt/sources.list and set the preference for unstable, but it's a long time since I set the preferencing and forget the details13:12
ravehaver9000i see13:13
ravehaver9000thanks!13:13
sixwheeledbeastclaws has CVE's outstanding in most versions but sid13:13
u-amarsh04man 5 apt_preferences may be your friend13:15

gnstaxoHello, is Ceres the rolling release version?22:53
gnarfacegnstaxo: yes, although debian upstream will denounce the use of that terminology to describe it22:55
gnarfacethey will cite some semantic differences then pretend it's nothing of the sort and refuse to clarify further questioning, but i know what you mean and the answer is: "basically, yes"22:55
gnstaxohahah ok, thanks dude22:57
gnarfaceno problem22:58
gnstaxoWhy is there not an ISO of it on the mirrors?23:01
gnarfacethere's just not, there isn't upstream at debian either usually, except for unofficial (jenkins?) builds23:03
gnarfacejust upgrade from a minimal chimaera install, or if you're feeling brave test out one of the daedalus pre-release isos23:03
gnarfacesafest approach is same as it would be for debian though, install a minimal stable install then upgrade to testing then upgrade to unstable23:04
gnarface(chimaera is stable and daedalus is testing)23:04
gnarfaceafaik debian doesn't usually even furnish testing isos but it's been a while since i actually looked23:05
gnarfaceif you really want to skip the upgrade process i would recommend a debootstrap install23:06
gnarface(i can help with that if you don't know how)23:06
gnstaxoI'm actually new to the debian world, I'm gonna learn more before attempting to make my devuan rolling release23:07
gnarfaceoh, well may i recommend the excellent live images23:07
gnstaxoBecause I'm using peppermint rn23:07
gnarfacethe live images are a great way to test for compatibility and "kick the tires" on some of the software, and you can easily do a debootstrap install from one23:08
gnarfaceif you're new though, note that we do recommend using stable and staying far away from the unstable branch because upstream regularly breaks it on purpose23:09
gnarfacefor most people's purposes, the stuff in stable backports should suffice for any newer software needs23:10
gnstaxoMy conn dropped. So as I was saying. I'm new to debian since I'm an Arch user. So I installed peppermint to practice before going minimalist mode23:30
gnarfacethis is all i said after your last message: https://paste.debian.net/1264082/23:32
gnstaxothanks23:36
