gnu_srs2 | (09:00:36 PM) srs: Centurion_Dan: Where is consolekit2, experimental? | 16:12 |
---|---|---|
gnu_srs2 | (09:01:53 PM) srs: source package preferrably | 16:12 |
KatolaZ | gnu_srs2: it's on git.devuan.org | 16:21 |
KatolaZ | has been build for experimental and unstable | 16:21 |
gnu_srs2 | OK, tks :) | 16:21 |
KatolaZ | np | 16:23 |
KatolaZ | :) | 16:23 |
LeePen | KatolaZ: you asked for testing of the new d-i components. Is there a netinst iso, or just start from ascii and change the name in apt sources? | 18:30 |
KatolaZ | there is a mini.iso | 18:32 |
KatolaZ | hold on | 18:32 |
KatolaZ | https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan/dists/unstable/main/installer-amd64/20181125/images/netboot/mini.iso <- LeePen | 18:33 |
KatolaZ | that is the latest one | 18:33 |
KatolaZ | just built | 18:33 |
LeePen | KatolaZ: thanks. Will give it a go. | 18:33 |
KatolaZ | thank you | 18:33 |
KatolaZ | LeePen: I haven't tested it | 18:35 |
KatolaZ | it might blow-up | 18:35 |
KatolaZ | but it shouldn't hurt :P | 18:35 |
LeePen | I'll put my safety goggles on! | 18:36 |
KatolaZ | :D | 18:37 |
LeePen | KatolaZ: tasksel fails if you select a desktop. Is that expected? | 19:52 |
KatolaZ | yes | 19:55 |
KatolaZ | the problem is the lack of policykit-related packages | 19:55 |
KatolaZ | (I haven't tried, but I am pretty sure this is the case) | 19:55 |
gnu_srs2 | KatolaZ: I'm working on the polkit stuff. But that might take some days. Family and other matters. | 20:56 |
KatolaZ | gnu_srs2: please liaise with LeePen | 20:56 |
KatolaZ | and amesser | 20:56 |
KatolaZ | to avoid double-work | 20:56 |
KatolaZ | great! | 20:56 |
fsmithred | hi KatolaZ | 20:57 |
fsmithred | I tried d1h testbuild on fontsnaps, and I'm getting an error | 20:57 |
KatolaZ | fsmithred: forget d1h | 20:57 |
fsmithred | ok | 20:57 |
KatolaZ | use pbuilder | 20:57 |
KatolaZ | fsmithred: hi! | 20:58 |
fsmithred | I don't know it | 20:58 |
KatolaZ | which error do you get? | 20:58 |
golinux | Something new for you to twist your brain on | 20:58 |
fsmithred | anyway, the ascii version of fontsnaps works in beowulf | 20:58 |
KatolaZ | cool | 20:58 |
KatolaZ | we should rebuild it anyway | 20:59 |
fsmithred | gbp can't determine upstream version from changelog | 20:59 |
golinux | Can I install gksu from ascii on beowulf? | 20:59 |
KatolaZ | mmmhhhh | 20:59 |
fsmithred | I did bump the version in the changelog | 20:59 |
fsmithred | but that's all | 20:59 |
KatolaZ | where is the upstream? | 20:59 |
fsmithred | there isn't one | 20:59 |
fsmithred | DocScrutinizer05 wrote it and I packaged it | 20:59 |
golinux | I cannot do my work without a simple way to access root in gui | 21:00 |
fsmithred | golinux, for thunar, you can just 'su' and then run thunar | 21:00 |
KatolaZ | fsmithred: are you working on suites/unstable? | 21:01 |
golinux | as root? | 21:01 |
fsmithred | I'm just working in master, and I haven't pushed, because I have no internet at home | 21:01 |
golinux | Will the files opened be writable? | 21:01 |
fsmithred | can take the laptop with me tomorrow and push some things | 21:01 |
fsmithred | golinux, yes, they should be | 21:01 |
fsmithred | text editor and file manager should work ok | 21:01 |
fsmithred | system commands in /sbin and /usr/sbin won't be available, but you don't need those there | 21:02 |
* golinux goes to fire up VB | 21:02 | |
KatolaZ | fsmithred: you need to use "su -" in beowulf | 21:02 |
KatolaZ | since the semantics has changed | 21:03 |
fsmithred | if you use 'su -' then you can't run graphical apps | 21:03 |
golinux | I think I can't change the desktop wallpaper because the *kit stuff isn't sorted yet. | 21:03 |
KatolaZ | now only `su -` gets the root's path | 21:03 |
fsmithred | unless you do something like 'xhost +' | 21:03 |
KatolaZ | yep | 21:03 |
KatolaZ | xhost + | 21:03 |
KatolaZ | and then the rest | 21:03 |
golinux | I can't work on the graphics in beowulf until the right BG is on the destop. | 21:03 |
fsmithred | I don't understand why you can't change the bg | 21:03 |
golinux | fsr . . . I got your email and my head exploded | 21:04 |
golinux | I can't in settings or by right click "use as wallpaper" | 21:04 |
fsmithred | don't try to figure it out | 21:04 |
fsmithred | ok, I need to turn around and fire up my own vb to check this | 21:04 |
golinux | Can't find a way to set up launchers or thunar custom actions to open root stuff | 21:05 |
golinux | I'm about ready to | 21:06 |
golinux | . . . | 21:06 |
golinux | Now my old Canon camera isn't working right. | 21:06 |
fsmithred | ok, I already changed my bg a few days ago | 21:06 |
golinux | Still haven't connected the router. Sometimes I hate technology . . . | 21:06 |
golinux | Oh and the guest additions have a bug and won't install. | 21:07 |
golinux | My work environment is broken. | 21:07 |
golinux | I need food and a cuppa tea. | 21:07 |
fsmithred | ah, set as wallpaper doesn't work here, either | 21:08 |
fsmithred | I right-click on desktop and go to desktop settings | 21:08 |
golinux | That will work oif the wallpapers are in backdrop but I can't drag&drop them there. | 21:10 |
fsmithred | do we know if it's like that in debian? | 21:11 |
golinux | Because I can't get root in thunar. | 21:11 |
golinux | I used to be able to set a wallpaper from anywhere . The setup on that iso is missing some parts, I think. | 21:12 |
golinux | Food might improve my mood. bbl | 21:13 |
fsmithred | start thunar from a root terminal that was started with just 'su' and you can copy files to system dirs. | 21:15 |
golinux | Are you going to be here for a while. I really need food atm | 21:16 |
golinux | ? | 21:16 |
fsmithred | go eat | 21:18 |
golinux | fsmithred: That launched thunar and the BG is now cinnabar | 21:26 |
fsmithred | I have to go. Not too long, I hope. | 21:38 |
fsmithred | golinux, you might want to install thunar-volman | 22:04 |
