smplrustyaxe; I use apt-cacher-ng.01:10
rustyaxewill check it out. I have a crappy netgear NAS that isnt worth much fuss, running debian jessie lol. it'd make a suitable machine with a small SSD for this kinda thing tho while being fairly power friendly01:18
ravehaver9000i just updated my unstable system and got the following error01:50
ravehaver9000"syntax error unexpected error expecting CCHAR or UNUMBER or AS"01:51
ravehaver9000this happens immediately after i boot my system up in grub, but it otherwise goes normally01:51
ravehaver9000is there a fix for this error?01:51
rustyaxesounds like your grub config is a little bit munged up01:53
rustyaxeany idea where the error comes? is it in grub or kernel?01:53
ravehaver9000probably grub since i get it as soon as i load up devuan01:54
ravehaver9000but before the time you get asked for the encryption passwordr01:54
ravehaver9000it might or might not have to do with dbus too since one program that requires it to work broke as well and i had to adjust a setting to make it work. only a small setting but still01:55
rustyaxeif its grub config, a 'update-grub' might well sort it01:55
ravehaver9000yay!01:57
ravehaver9000now let me see if this solves the problem01:57
ravehaver9000i backed up my home directory in case it breaks01:57
rustyaxewell01:57
rustyaxeA usb boot stick is handy to have on hand and can let you fix small problems later :) well worth keeping about01:58
rustyaxeIn fact just a few days ago mine saved me a lot of strife01:58
ravehaver9000yeah i also have one with a live install of devuan around too01:58
ravehaver9000okay, just restarted, but the error is still there02:03
ravehaver9000deespite upgrading grub. this probably means its kernel level02:03
ravehaver9000what should i then do then02:06
ravehaver9000check dbus settings?02:07
rustyaxeNot sure ;( Stick around and someone else might be of more help02:07
ravehaver9000thanks02:11
ravehaver9000i cant really fix kernel problems though02:11
gnarfaceravehaver9000: do you have "quiet" in your kernel command-line options? if it's coming from grub it should be before the line that says it's loading the kernel or initrd.img, but i'm not sure you can see it with the default kernel command-line options.03:12
gnarfaceif it's coming from the kernel it should also still show up in the output of dmesg soon after boot03:13
gnarfacesince you're on unstable there's no guarantee it's generating or parsing the grub config correctly03:13
ravehaver9000im back04:53
ravehaver9000just looked onto my grub cfg, quiet was indeeed in the command line options04:57
ravehaver9000got rid of it04:58
ravehaver9000anways gotta sleep so seeya later04:58
Digithas devuan repo moved?  "Temporary failure resolving 'deb.devuan.org' all over my attempts to upgrade.  or have i mistyped a reconfiguration?12:48
onefangProbably just DNS issues near you.12:52
onefangdeb.devuan.org is a DNS round robin that points to most of our package mirrors.12:53
xisopDigit: would you want one of use to give you the IP of the repo so you could temporarily put it as an entry in your /etc/hosts file perhaps?21:45
rwpI am randomly seeing DNS failures resolving deb.devuan.org too.  If I retry a few times until it works then it works.22:01
Xenguyrwp, I am seeing errors when trying 'git fetch' also; not sure whether that might be related22:04
rwpYes.  Digit complained above and it looks like some DNS problems are active today.22:08
bb|hcbrwp: Can you try this: for i in ns{2..6}.devuan.dev; do nslookup deb.devuan.org $i; done22:26
bb|hcb... and tell which one is failing?22:26
xisopit looks like gitea.devuan.dev is slow, but it might not be related.22:32
xisopnot sure if maybe the jenkins jobs that were pushed recently effected the load times of gitea22:33
xisopThis is what gitea.devuan.org resolves to for me: https://bpa.st/EQ3UE22:34
xisopyeah, it's taking several minutes. still no response22:35
bb|hcbrrq have mentioned about a bunch of bots crawling gitea recently...22:37
xisopbb|hcb: this is my output when running your for loop: https://bpa.st/O4YRM22:37
xisopgitea times out for me22:38
bb|hcbCan;t be jenkins - they even do not share the physical host; and builders are separate from both22:39
bb|hcbhttps://bpa.st/O4YRM - this looks OK22:39
xisopnice, yeah that's a good strategy22:39
xisopi ran the same command for gitea.devuan.org if you think that'll help to paste22:40
bb|hcbOnly if there are errors22:41
xisopgitea.devuan.org seems to consistently resolve to 54.36.142.18022:41
xisopall 5 nameservers report the same ip22:41
xisopmtr --tcp --port 443 gitea.devuan.org # doesn't have any output22:50
xisopstill seems to be down23:15
