rrqgrayrock: many thanks for rc2 feedback.01:07
grayrockde nada01:13
rrqgrayrock: using "aptitude why opensh-server", it says that: task-mate-desktop {dep} task-desktop {rec} task-cinnamon-desktop {dep} dinnamon-desktop-environment {rec} x3goserver {dep} openssh-server.01:52
grayrockrrq: ohhhhhhhh. ok, thanks.01:53
rrqone way to avoid that would be to "disarm recommends" before installing task-mate-desktop, but that might be counter-productive for populating the DE01:55
rrqseems apt is a bit gung-ho on installing recommends; taking all recommend alternatives whenever it can..01:58
grayrocki used to disable recommends a long time ago, but it got so that it started causing a lot of dysfunctionality, so i just live with it. thanks for the suggestion, though.02:00
rwpIf Recommends is enabled which it is by default then apt must act upon Recommends same as Depends.  So that's expected.  (I always disable Recommends myself because maintainers are gung-ho about adding dozens of Recommends too far for me.)02:48
grayrockthe problem is they put things in recommends that really belong in depends, and it gets mixed in with a ton of superfluous stuff.02:53
rwpAgreed.  Have seen the problem go both ways.  Some things in Recommends that should be Depends.  But much more of the time things in Recommends that should be Suggests at best.03:22
buZzso weird, i think the only thing that really broke on upgrading to daedalus, was displayport support on my nvidia proprietary setup?03:25
buZzit still outputs just fine, but xorg can no longer recognize the monitor, and just feeds it 640x48003:25
buZzit says 'NVIDIA' as identifier in xorg :)03:26
buZzcant really find people having the same issue so kinda confused03:26
grayrocksounds like a firmware issue. odd that it only affects displayport though.04:00
buZzyeah its weird, all other ports are fully functional like before04:21
gnarfacebuZz: make sure your nvidia packages are all the same version04:26
gnarfacesometimes a few get left behind during upgrades04:27
gnarfacesometimes it can cause weird misbehavior04:27
buZzyeah i've been looking around, thusfar it all seems to have been updated04:30
rrqnote that daedalus has the new section non-free-firmware that holds firmware previously in the non-free section (in chimaera)04:44
buZzyeah i added it before , buuuut not sure if it grabbed/upgraded any packages to/from it?04:45
rrqyou should have a few /var/lib/apt/lists/*non-free-firmware*_Packages files at least..04:48
buZzyeah i do04:49
buZzi noticed its grabbing the firmware for my ethernet card just fine too04:49
rrqso, it's available.. I know nothing about graphics :)04:50
buZz^_^ all good04:50
buZzi'm sure i'll find it eventually, i'm just apt reinstall'ing all the nvidia packages i can find installed :P04:51
buZzmaybe one didnt install properly or something04:51
buZzi was a bit sad that pipewire doesnt work that well in devuan yet :) well, it works -great- in daedalus, but you'll have to start the daemons manually04:52
