psionicSo how am i better putting it into setup mode aint doing jack neither the rok menu comes up nor the cert listing inside it just says its in setup mode but secureboot is not enabled10:22
psionicas I understood from the tut after that enrolment there should be a dialog box at next reboot but nope10:22
psionicSKIP: /var/lib/shim-signed/mok/MOK.der is already in the enrollment request10:23
[-_-]guys is there some way to pass important environment variables to a cron job? without explicitly giving them?12:04
[-_-]I mostly need to pass DISPLAY and XDG_RUNTIME_DIR12:05
djph[-_-]: no12:14
[-_-]:(12:15
djphyou would need to set cron's environment.12:17
[-_-]you guys sure have built scripts to automatically fetch these variables for a users session, no?12:32
djphwell, cron isn't an interactive  session ...12:47
[-_-]:)12:48
al1r4dcronjob is the best13:24
[-_-]https://clbin.com/cEnrJ13:34
[-_-]there is no pypy on devuan?13:34
djphwhy would there be? Python2 is dead13:47
JorilI think the package is called pypy3 now13:47
djphindeed it is13:53
brocashelmyeah, it's been removed since chimaera14:03
brocashelmhence why wicd no longer "works"14:03
djphshame, wicd was so nice14:04
djphand I still can't make it work with python3, but that's more my lack of skill than anythnig14:04
[-_-]thanks Joril14:25
[-_-]hey, bluetooth speaker disconnects upon not using for some time, this is annoying14:41
[-_-]how do I keep it alive /14:41
gnarfacei'd check to see if it was a feature before assuming it was a bug14:42
gnarfaceit might be interference or bad drivers, but it could also just be power management...14:43
gnarfaceespecially if the speaker is battery powered14:44
[-_-]it prolly is, but on arch it used to remain connected, so I want it to remain connected here, thats all14:46
[-_-]I did not use pipewire on arch (my bad), so I think it is related to that14:46
[-_-]I use pipewire -> wireplumber -> pipewire-pulse14:47
[-_-]I think this can be configure, it is a feeling :D14:47
gnarfacei don't know enough specifics about bluetooth, but in theory it could be either just a mere difference in default configurations or a difference in actual feature support14:49
[-_-]I found this : https://github.com/Arkq/bluez-alsa/issues/17114:50
[-_-]now where do I have to change, that is what I need to figure out14:50
gnarfacethere's more than one bluetooth stack, you sure that's the one you're using?14:51
gnarfaceit does seem like a promising lead though14:52
[-_-]no I am not, arch wiki says bluez dropped alsa, onlp pulseaudio is supported now14:53
gnarfaceyea, that's the way i remember it, but recently i thought i saw some evidence someone had tried to resurrect bare alsa support for bluetooth14:53
gnarfacemaybe in bluez-alsa-utils?14:54
gnarfacewell, one would think pulseaudio should have control over this too though14:54
gnarfaceif all else fails maybe you can try their suggestion of a cron job that just periodically plays silence?14:55
[-_-]:D14:55
gnarfaceif that work-around fixes it at least you'd have pretty well isolated the cause of the issue14:56
gnarface(i'm assuming that keepalive patch just did the same thing from a lower level)14:56
gnarfacesomeone around here has gotta know about this though14:58
gnarfacei just stopped caring about bluetooth when they tried to make it a pulseaudio exclusive14:59
[-_-]another thing, if I use pipewire I can't get bluez gui to run15:00
[-_-]I have the systray icon, and I can access the menu and work from there but can't run gui15:00
gnarfacei know that there's supposed to be some fundamental distinction between them, but to me, pipewire is just pulseaudio215:01
gnarfacesame people, same agenda, same quality control issues15:02
gnarfaceit's like they're just trying to rebrand themselves to avoid the bad publicity stuck to the previous name15:03
[-_-]nice strategy, it does work on mass people, me included15:03
gnarfaceyea, it didn't escape my notice that the moment after it was released there seemed to be a grassroots misinformation campaign launched to erase from public memory the shared origin of these two projects15:05
rustyaxehas anyone looked into making the pipewire-pulse package satisfy pulseaudio for other packages? or is that a thing where package maintainers should be putting pulseaudio | pipewire-pulse?15:05
gnarface.... it also didn't escape my notice that just like the previous iteration, it launched to much fanfare about fixing the fundamental problems with the previous one but in short order proved to create more drama than it fixed15:06
rustyaxeill probably just make an empty pulseaudio package to install for now15:06
gnarfacerustyaxe: the dependency field in the package build is an easy thing to change... changing what the code itself actually depends on may or may not be though15:06
gnarfacerustyaxe: (but in answer to your question, i haven't, at least)15:07
[-_-]http://paste.wooledge.org/2557915:07
[-_-]it is a dbus issue :(15:08
[-_-]dbus and systemd feels like the same thing, they prevent others from working :(15:08
gnarfacedbus strikes again!15:08
[-_-]I will move to a dbusless system !15:08
[-_-]kek, there is none15:08
[-_-]:(15:08
rustyaxegnarface: So far i havent found anythings that haven't worked with pipewire-pulse -- the one thing that was messy was no worse off than pulseaudio screwing up audio for everything else15:08
rustyaxe[-_-]: Mmm less freedesktop[dot]org15:09
gnarfacerustyaxe: well, maybe it's worth a try then... building a dummy package vs changing one dependency field from the headers of an existing package should be similar effort level in a fair world...15:10
rustyaxeOh nice. pipewire.org is broken at the moment too15:10
onefangI have a TODO item to throw dbus under a bus and write dcar.  B-)15:19
onefangAlas I have too many TODOs.15:21
gnarfacescroll lock key is disabled by default everywhere in linux now, or is this just an enlightenment misbehavior?16:22
rustyaxefunny enough i noticed recently that scrl lck disappeared from keyboards some years back rather silently17:02
onefangI've forgotten what it does.  lol17:06
rustyaxein a tty console, it pauses the text and you can ctrl-pgup/down to scroll17:07
fsmithredLast time I used scroll lock there were more zeroes in the year.17:07
gnarfaceit's the same thing as ctrl+s, but i've been using ctrl+s for so long i didn't notice when the actual scroll lock key got apparently independently disabled everywhere by unanimous decision17:07
fsmithreddoes shift-pgup still work?17:09
gnarfaceseriously, does anyone have it working by default in their window manager right now?17:09
fsmithredscroll lock?17:10
fsmithredlemme try17:10
gnarfaceyea17:10
gnarfaceshift+pgup/pgdown are functioning normally17:10
gnarfacenumlock and capslock keys work, as do their status lights17:11
gnarfacescroll lock is ignored and the light doesn't even come on17:11
gnarfacebut xev reports it's firing and google searches suggest this is a "by-design" change in Linux17:11
gnarfacebut this is news to me17:12
fsmithredok, looks like ctrl-s works. How do I unlock it?17:12
onefangNo lights on this keyboard.  No numlock either, but there is a scroll lock.17:12
gnarfacefsmithred: ctrl+q to unlock17:12
fsmithredmaybe not. I did get a prompt back. I might have been too slow17:12
gnarfacefsmithred: if you start a long "find /" that's usually a suitable test case17:12
fsmithredyeah that worked17:12
gnarfacefsmithred: with ctrl+s or with the scroll lock key?17:13
fsmithredno key on thinkpad17:13
gnarfaceoh, right17:13
gnarfacenot even a FN blue key?17:13
gnarfacelike something hidden in the silkscreening of one of the other keys?17:13
fsmithredoh maybe17:13
gnarfaceseems weird that it would be completely unfurnished but i guess i don't know17:14
fsmithredFnLk?17:14
gnarfacesounds promising17:14
onefangTermit terminal on Awesome window manager, ctrl-s and q work, scroll lock doesn't.17:14
onefangCAPS LOCK works as well.17:15
onefangNo number pad on this keyboard, so no num lock key.17:15
gnarfaceonefang: i think that's evidence the scroll lock key is disabled for both of us, but i'm not 100% clear on what's job that is (is it the window manager itself?)17:15
gnarfaceonefang: you don't even have one of those FN overlay number pads?17:16
gnarfacelike laptop keyboards do?17:16
fsmithredFnLk locks the Function key down17:16
gnarfacefsmithred: doh!17:16
onefangSame result on an actual tty.17:17
onefangHappy Hacking II keyboard.17:17
gnarfaceeh, well, don't struggle with it too much guys, i probably wouldn't have noticed this unless i was testing a new keyboard. you've at least given me enough evidence to presume it's not faulty17:17
onefangOh wait Happy Hacking Lite 2.  lol17:19
onefanghttps://www.fentek-ind.com/hhlite2_us_layout.gif  Except mines dvorak not qwerty.17:23
gnarfacefucking hell man, you bought a 250$ keyboard with no labels, no status LEDs, and no numpad????17:24
gnarfacedid it come with cocaine????17:24
onefangNo, a client bought it for me many years ago, and I like the lack of LEDs and numpad.17:25
onefangLabels?17:25
gnarfacethe one i'm looking at has no silkscreening at all on any of the keys17:25
onefangAh I got labels on my keys, including the Fn labels.17:25
gnarfacei was gonna say, i could have sent you one of my old ones that i'd worn the silkscreening off for free17:25
onefangConsidering how tough and long my fingernails are, some of my keys have their tops gouged.  lol17:26
gnarfacei'm not sure i even wanna know what makes that thing so special17:26
gnarfaceheh, yea i was wearing holes through my old one too17:26
onefangDoes include a 2 port USB hub, which was special back in the day.17:27
gnarfacehmm, i see17:27
onefangBut off topic.17:27
gnarfaceyea, my bad, sorry17:27
