| Necrodiver | quick question, because i couldnt find the page on the debian install page. How would i install the wifi firmware for a lenovo thinkpad x200s? | 03:06 |
|---|---|---|
| gnarface | Necrodiver: is it too new for the firmware already in the repo? | 03:17 |
| Necrodiver | i remember it requiring a separate install | 03:17 |
| gnarface | oh, core2duo, that should be in the repos... and the installer should include it automatically if you configure wifi during install | 03:18 |
| gnarface | devuan installers include all current wifi firmware | 03:18 |
| Necrodiver | ah | 03:18 |
| Necrodiver | is there a specific package i should install to use the wifi or is connman good enough? | 03:19 |
| gnarface | i just put my raw config in /etc/network/interfaces but you do you | 03:19 |
| Necrodiver | okay ill have to help my friend next time he can bring the pc over then | 03:20 |
| gnarface | i think the xfce default is network-manager, but connman is in the repos too, they should both work | 03:21 |
| gnarface | (not sure if they both work in xfce but they should both function where expected) | 03:21 |
| Necrodiver | i remember when i went to unstable, it broke network manager so i had to switch to connman | 03:21 |
| Necrodiver | that was awhile ago, i have since gone back to stable | 03:21 |
| Necrodiver | for daedalus | 03:22 |
| gnarface | the only thing you really need is wpasupplicant | 03:22 |
| gnarface | and the firmware package for your wifi device | 03:22 |
| Necrodiver | ah okay, so with a core2duo the only thing i need to double check is the settings on connman and wpasupplicant | 03:23 |
| gnarface | assuming you configured network during the install, it should get the wifi firmware automatically, even from non-free if applicable | 03:24 |
| gnarface | i'm trying to verify the package name of that for this particular model, in case you have to complete install without networking for some reason and then install it manually... | 03:25 |
| gnarface | it might be firmware-iwlwifi | 03:26 |
| u-amarsh04 | had a weird DNS issue this morning - .com.au and .net.au weren't resolving (broken trust chain messages), upgrading bind9 packages from 1:9.18.16-1 to 1:9.19.14-1 fixed it | 03:27 |
| Necrodiver | thanks gnarface. Im gonna at least check on this pc just in case | 03:28 |
| gnarface | Necrodiver: well, regardless, it should work one way or another by all accounts, so if you have problems come back and tell us | 03:28 |
| Necrodiver | okay thanks for the help | 03:28 |
| Necrodiver | gnarface | 14:28 |
| Necrodiver | im trying to troubleshoot the wifi issue right now with my friend | 14:28 |
| Necrodiver | when he opens connman, it doesnt show a tab for wireless | 14:28 |
| Necrodiver | i opened connman in my dell latitude and it had both bluetooth and wireless tabs right away | 14:29 |
| Necrodiver | i installed the firmware package you told me about earlier | 14:30 |
| buZz | Necrodiver: does 'ifconfig -a' suggest there is a wifi card? | 14:34 |
| buZz | or is the whole interface not detected yet? | 14:35 |
| Necrodiver | which interface should i see? | 14:39 |
| Necrodiver | should it specifically state theres a wifi card? | 14:39 |
| Necrodiver | and what should the output look like? | 14:43 |
| buZz | Necrodiver: typically a wifi card will be 'wlan0' or similar | 14:49 |
| Necrodiver | okay thanks | 14:49 |
| [-_-] | Hiiii | 14:54 |
| [-_-] | are the files in /etc/pam.d named according to some convention? | 14:55 |
| [-_-] | do pam care about the names? | 14:55 |
| DPA | [-_-]: As far as I know, those are pam service names, they are kind of arbitrary, as in the application doing the auth can choose an arbitrary one, I think. For example, su uses /etc/pam.d/su or /etc/pam.d/su- (if called with -l), dovecot uses /etc/pam.d/imap (as it provides imap as a service), and postfix uses /etc/pam.d/smtp. But if those aren't present, pam falls back to /etc/pam.d/other (which is normal for postfix to happen, I think). | 15:09 |
| DPA | I know this because I have my own SSO solution for my webapps (https://github.com/Daniel-Abrecht/dpa-sso/branches) and had to give my webmail access to the imap and smtp services of my mail server. | 15:09 |
| [-_-] | I am trying to do this | 15:13 |
| [-_-] | https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/OpenRC/User_services#Using_PAM_to_triggers_user.27s_service_on_login | 15:13 |
| [-_-] | should I create this (/etc/pam.d/system-local-login) file as shown there | 15:13 |
| DPA | I think "system-local-login" is probably specific to how gentoo has set up their pam config, I don't think creating that file would have any effect on devuan or debian. | 15:36 |
| [-_-] | hmmm | 15:36 |
| DPA | I don't think devuan has a precise equivalent to this config file. The closest thing seams to be /etc/pam.d/common-session, which is included by pretty much all other pam config files. Unlike system-local-login on gentoo, it'll also be used for things like on remote logins using ssh. | 15:55 |
| DPA | You can probably append that "session optional pam_exec.so /usr/local/bin/pam_user_service" line there, but make sure to only append that very line at the very end, after the last comment, and not to change anything else in there. | 15:55 |
| DPA | You can add additional checks to your /usr/local/bin/pam_user_service script if you want to, pam_exec provides a bunch of useful environment variables. | 15:55 |
| DPA | [-_-]: ^ | 15:55 |
| [-_-] | oh...thanks | 15:56 |
| [-_-] | I will do | 15:56 |
| gnarface | Necrodiver: figure it out? | 22:03 |
