plasma41This talk helped me to better understand the function of (e)logind. https://media.ccc.de/v/all-systems-go-2023-183-y2038-replace-utmp-with-logind00:01
rrqWow! I hadn't even realized that the usrmerge nonsense has in fact found its way into the daedalus initrd!03:23
fsmithredhuh?03:25
fsmithredOh, it's in chimaera, too.03:28
fsmithredand beowulf03:30
rrqsome version of initramfs-tools03:31
fsmithredwhen ascii was still in testing and I did a debootstrap, I got merged usr03:32
rrqthere my trust levw; for debian stuff fell sharply; not much fall space left03:33
fsmithredunderstood03:33
fsmithreddid I tell you I got that broken system working?03:34
fsmithredI posted what I did in this channel. Reinstalled a bunch of stuff.03:35
rrqI think I saw that .. was there still some X problem ?03:35
fsmithredyeah03:35
fsmithredI reinstalled all my X stuff and that didn't fix it.03:35
fsmithredEverything worked after I reinstalled elogind libpam-elogind policykit-1-gnome and rebooted.03:36
rrqright it was missing /dev/dri03:36
fsmithredoh yeah03:36
rrqwhich suggests either udev issue or maybe graphics firmware perhaps?03:36
fsmithredoh, I think I reinstalled eudev, too03:37
fsmithredon your suggestion maybe?03:37
rrqhmm could possibly have lost udev rule files during usrmerge ?03:39
rrqI have 55 of them03:39
fsmithredbooting vm03:41
fsmithredno, it's not totally fixed. lightdm is in a loop03:41
rrqso Xorg fails.. due to missing /dev/dri .. due to missing firmware?03:42
fsmithred8603:45
fsmithredxorg was giving permission errors. couldn't open .Xauthority03:45
rrqmmm ok... do you have a graphics module loaded (kernel module)03:45
rrqyou have a VT to use?03:46
fsmithredI booted a live iso and mounted the drive03:47
rrqthen you could mount -t devtmpfs none /mnt03:47
fsmithreddo that where?03:47
rrqI was thinking when you boot the broken system, in another VT03:48
rrqmaybe disable lightdm first as well03:48
fsmithredyeah, I disabled lightdm03:49
rrqwith "mount -t devtmpfs none /mnt" you get the kernel's device nodes on /mnt, and can check if the kernel thinks /mnt/dri/card0 exists03:50
fsmithreddo that when the system is mounted in the live-iso or do that when I boot with another vt?03:51
rrqthe latter03:51
rrqdevtmpfs is the kernels own idea of device nodes, which (e)udev tries to mimic partly03:52
fsmithredyeah /dev/dri/card0 exists in /mnt03:59
* rrq biab04:01
fsmithredhttps://termbin.com/91am  - list of reinstalled packages04:04
rrqI can't figure out what makes the /dev/dri directory in the /dev tmpfs05:57
rrqdo you have overrides in /etc/udev/rules.d/ ?06:02
rrqseems to happen in kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko06:29
fsmithredrrq, /etc/udev/rules.d was empty11:12
gnu_srs1Hello, somebody found out how to make build-rdeps for  Devuan. build-rdeps now results results inDid you forget to run apt-get update (or add --update to this command)? at /usr/bin/build-rdeps line 526.18:51
gnu_srs1found it: build-rdeps  --origin devuan21:47
