pankeriniInteresting03:35
XenguyNo:  click on a random link03:45
Digit"possibly encouraging", was all that was said of it that got me clicking on it.03:47
Xenguyuh huh03:48
Digitfrom the summation paragraph: "Overall, the dialog was relatively positive and the outcome may well lead to better maintenance of sysvinit for both Debian and Devuan moving forward."03:55
filipdevuan_hey i have problem i have sound coming from speakers of my laptop but when i connect headphones i cant hear anything on them and pulseaudio shows that the sound is flowing on the meter, pls help08:34
filipdevuan_oh nvm08:34
filipdevuan_got it now :)08:34
xrogaan"That set off a fairly predictable round of Devuan bashing, along with concerns that inviting Devuan developers to work in Debian would bring on a return of the mailing list battles of old."09:18
xrogaanhe he09:18
DocScrutinizer05furrymcgee: are you furrywolf?14:53
furrymcgeeno14:54
DocScrutinizer05sorry then14:55
eyalrozI'm trying to get docker to run on Devuan ASCII, and am getting the error:15:43
eyalrozdocker: Error response from daemon: cgroups: cannot find cgroup mount destination: unknown.15:43
eyalroz... when I try to run docker run hello-world15:43
eyalroz(I'm using the Docker CE repository for Debian stretch)15:44
eyalrozI've not had experience with anything involving cgroups, so I'm not sure what to try.15:44
rleigheyalroz: Are the cgroups filesystems mounted under /sys/fs/cgroup?15:45
eyalrozrleigh:  let me check...15:47
eyalrozYes15:48
eyalrozFilesystem      1K-blocks       Used  Available Use% Mounted on15:48
eyalroz...15:48
eyalrozcgroup                 12          0         12   0% /sys/fs/cgroup15:48
DocScrutinizer05systemd hijacked cgroups, for whatever ot's worh. might be related15:50
DocScrutinizer05it's worth*15:50
DocScrutinizer05I seem to recal this been a known issue with docker and systemd15:50
DocScrutinizer05I might be totally wrong though, never had the urge to look into it any deeper15:52
furrymcgeethe devuan sdk looks interesting but there is not much documentation, I am looking for an example how to use it15:56
fsmithredfurrymcgee, what kind of iso/image do you want to make?16:03
fsmithredI know live-sdk, I don't know much about arm-sdk (is that even the right name?)16:04
furrymcgeeI think about netinst.iso with customized task selection16:09
KatolaZfurrymcgee: you devuan-sdk does not use d-i16:09
furrymcgeethere is a menu like this for selecting init system16:11
KatolaZfurrymcgee: devuan-sdk does not use d-i16:12
KatolaZfurrymcgee: it's not easy to customise debian-installer, due to the way it is built from its components16:13
furrymcgeehmm i will look into it16:14
KatolaZfurrymcgee: you need an ad-hoc repo for that16:14
furrymcgeecant find anything ad-hoc, the whole installation method is new to me16:32
fsmithredfurrymcgee, boot a live iso and do a debootstrap install - that will pull from the repo like a netinstall, but it'll be easier than making a netinstall iso.17:00
fsmithredI haven't tried a debootstrap with openrc, though.17:01
KatolaZfurrymcgee: what do you want to do exactly?17:04
KatolaZ(I mean that in order to customise debian-installer you need to put together an ad-hoc repository)17:04
eyalrozDocScrutinizer05: Thanks for the tip (although to be honest, the first guess about any Devuan incompatibility is "systemd issue"...)17:10
eyalrozDocScrutinizer05: I don't suppose you know some person/website I could ask about this?17:10
eyalrozrleigh: got disconnected, back now; if you commented, please repeat what you said17:11
ExtraCrispyHello.17:20
ExtraCrispyI am on QubesOS.17:20
ExtraCrispyIs xfce4 necessary17:20
ExtraCrispy?17:20
ExtraCrispyI am upgrading from Debian Stretch17:20
furrymcgeeI know how to build a local repository and debootstrap a root file system the next step was to build initrd and invoke d-i with udebs. My idea was this can be done with sdk but as I understand so far it does basically a debootstrap.17:21
furrymcgeehello ExtraCrispy17:22
ExtraCrispyfurrymcgee: Hi.Was that for me?17:27
furrymcgeeno to KatolaZ, i was typing already17:28
furrymcgeexfce is not necessary i think17:28
furrymcgeexfce4 in devuan is the same as in stretch17:31
DocScrutinizer05eyalroz: sorry no useful links at hand. But I gues aunt google will help you out when you feed it the right search terms17:32
KatolaZExtraCrispy: be sure you upgrade to devuan ascii17:32
DocScrutinizer05eyalroz: or wait here until somebody with better knowledge gets along to pinck up your question17:33
DocScrutinizer05pick, even17:33
ExtraCrispyfurrymcgee: Ah17:36
ExtraCrispyKatolaZ: Of course.17:36
ExtraCrispySo fxce is just for the dm?17:36
KatolaZExtraCrispy: xfce is the DE17:36
KatolaZor17:37
KatolaZXFCE is one od the availabl DEs17:37
KatolaZs/od/of17:37
ExtraCrispyWell in QubesOS it does not matter.17:37
ExtraCrispySo i am just starting from network manager17:38
eyalrozDocScrutinizer05: Thanks.17:39
KatolaZExtraCrispy: network manager is for ... ehm... network management17:39
ExtraCrispyAnd i guess netm should be removed?17:39
KatolaZwhy?17:39
ExtraCrispyKatolaZ: Well it seems some sit need to be replaced in order for the migration t work.17:40
ExtraCrispyI think.17:40
ExtraCrispyThats why i asked for xfce17:40
KatolaZExtraCrispy: there are non-systemd packages for network-manager in devuan ascii17:40
KatolaZso you don't need to remove it, AFAIK17:40
ExtraCrispyWell wicd is better fuck it17:41
eyalrozWhat is the canonical way, on a Devuan machine, to get the corresponding Debian version's number?17:46
eyalrozi.e., on a Devuan ASCII machine, what tells me that the corresponding Debian version is 9 ?17:46
KatolaZeyalroz: https://devuan.org/17:48
ExtraCrispyeyalroz: cat /etc/debian_version?17:48
ExtraCrispyOr lsb_release -a17:48
ExtraCrispy?17:48
eyalrozExtraCrispy: The first one.17:49
eyalrozlsb_release -a gives us 2.017:49
KatolaZeyalroz: yes, but don't rely too much on that17:49
ExtraCrispyAh yeah i was prure it would actually.17:49
ExtraCrispyprure/pretty sure17:49
eyalrozExtraCrispy: FYI:17:54
eyalrozhttps://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker/issues/85117:54
eyalrozand a disclaimer: I hate docker, I only need this for work.17:54
fsmithreddevuan version +7 = debian version17:56
DocScrutinizer05eyalroz: nice ticket :-)18:00
eyalrozWhy can't we have a VERSION_ID=2 in /etc/os_release?18:04
* DocScrutinizer05 just had a weird idea of a "debian disguise" package that temporarily turns all properties of the system meant to get queried (like cat /etc/* ...) into the equivalent debian, for installation jobs to succeed even when they never heard of devuan18:04
DocScrutinizer05maybe a daft idea18:05
eyalroz@DocScrutinizer05: You might not be able to hide the lack of systemd...18:05
furrywolfhow about we instead convince people not to attempt to detect the distro or do other horribly broken ideas?18:05
eyalrozfurrywolf: But apt repositories are distribution-specific.18:06
eyalrozso if you want to add the right repositories, you need to detect the distro.18:06
KatolaZthat's why I said to not rely too much on the relation between the Devuan and the Debian version....18:06
KatolaZeyalroz: https://devuan.org18:06
DocScrutinizer05ExtraCrispy: hiding lack of systemd is not a requirement since a job asking for systemd version or whatever will fail anyway when no systemd around, no?18:06
KatolaZthat's the best way18:06
eyalrozKatolaZ: ??18:07
KatolaZeyalroz: https://devuan.org18:07
DocScrutinizer05hi furrywolf! what about your kline?18:07
KatolaZthere is a table there18:07
KatolaZwhich explains the relation between each Devuan version and the corresponding DEbian version18:07
KatolaZthe first thing on that page18:07
eyalrozKatolaZ: Yes, I know about that. I just wanted something I could feed to a script (see my github issue link)18:08
furrywolfDocScrutinizer:  heh, did you see what I got klined for?  apparantly talking about device drivers matches some filter sigyn has.  https://paste.debian.net/1049663/18:08
DocScrutinizer05furrywolf: could you send me the kline trigger in /query? the pastebin page expired18:08
ExtraCrispyeyalroz: JUst add the Variable who cares18:08
ExtraCrispyDocScrutinizer05: I dont get it.18:08
KatolaZeyalroz: which link?18:08
furrywolfhttps://paste.debian.net/1050001/ , then18:09
eyalrozExtraCrispy: I meant to suggest it be added to all Devuan installations..18:09
ExtraCrispyBTW Devuan in QubesOS is either a no go for now or just needs network manaer idi18:09
eyalrozKatolaZ: https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker/issues/85118:09
ExtraCrispyeyalroz: Ah i am not a contributor yet.18:09
ExtraCrispyBut i will be so yeah.18:09
ExtraCrispyAnyway that should be added by default imo.So a push would be nice i guess18:10
DocScrutinizer05furrywolf: thefuck!18:10
furrywolfDocScrutinizer05:  I got someone in #freenode to remove the klines, but no one would tell me what the filter was, why it exists, how to avoid it in the future, where sigyn's actual source and configuration are to be found (the github is obviously not freenode's actual version), or anything else.18:11
ExtraCrispyDocScrutinizer05: Please explain hat you said earlier.18:12
furrywolffreenode's security-through-paranoia policy is getting increasingly annoying.18:12
DocScrutinizer05ExtraCrispy: sorry, maybe what I said was nonsense. Just forget it please18:12
nemo furrywolf: some of the klines are stupidly written attempts to block bot spam18:12
nemothey've accidentally banned large chunks of users before18:12
DocScrutinizer05furrywolf: I'll follow up on this. Sigyn needs to learn to behave18:13
nemoin past they've had to do global apologies18:13
MinceRpeople shouldn't rely on freenode so much18:13
ExtraCrispyDocScrutinizer05: Ah.Well i didnt get it so i cannot say it is nonsense18:14
furrywolffreenode is becoming increasingly non-interactive with their users...18:14
furrywolfgoing the way of mozilla and too many other projects...  we are the people in charge, you are not, you are irrelevant, and you'll do what we want and we don't have to explain ourselves.18:16
MinceRand oftc seems to have largely the same people in charge18:16
DocScrutinizer05I raised the topic in sigyn's channel, let's see if we can get a meaningful answer18:17
furrywolfI tried that, and got told to email.  the email did not get a response.18:17
DocScrutinizer05I've seen it18:17
DocScrutinizer05you asked about the kline, not about the misbehavior of sigyn18:18
DocScrutinizer05or at least they thought you did18:18
furrywolfthe misbehavior is a design issue...  long-term klines should not be issued based on random text filters, especially not without warning and to registered nicks.18:20
furrywolfthere's also an administrative issue...  this whole we-don't-tell-anyone-anything-ever paranoid on freenode is absurd.18:22
furrywolfI was trying to track down issues with some clients being immediately killed on connection, and literally no one would tell me the value of a single setting in the ircd conf for one of the flood limits, so I could determine if it could be an issue.18:23
DocScrutinizer05furrywolf: https://pastebin.com/nc59NzMb18:23
furrywolf"Your paste has triggered our automatic SPAM detection filter. This happens when certain keywords are detected in a paste." lol?18:24
DocScrutinizer05yeah, this makes me wonder if that site and sigyn use same BlackList18:24
MinceReasy to avoid: don't use any words in your paste18:26
DocScrutinizer05lol yeah18:26
furrywolflol18:27
furrywolfoh, it turned out that the some-clients-killed-immediately-on-connection thing is an ircd issue triggered by their new version-everyone-on-connect bot...  and no one is ever going to fix it.  if you have one of those clients, /ignore the bot to avoid getting killed.18:30
nemolol18:31
nemofurrywolf: what good is a security measure that can be blocked by an /ignore18:31
nemoor anti-spam measure really18:31
furrywolfthe ircd temporarily raises some of the flood limits during the initial connection phase, to allow users to join way too many channels without triggering them.  but, this period is cancelled as soon as you send anything other than a join...  like the version reply to the bot.18:32
nemoahhh18:32
nemothat's just stupid18:32
DocScrutinizer05OMG18:33
* DocScrutinizer05 pets infobot18:33
furrywolfmy solution was to /ignore the bot, and all the random kill-on-connects stopped.  :)18:34
DocScrutinizer05which bot?18:34
furrywolf:freenode-connect!frigg@freenode/utility-bot/frigg PRIVMSG fw2 :VERSION18:35
DocScrutinizer05weird enough I should see that and I don't18:36
DocScrutinizer05maybe SASL does the trick18:37
furrywolfI connect with sasl.18:39
nemomaybe I just don't join enough channels18:39
DocScrutinizer05FN added ircd filtering recently, to fight the SPAM. I guess this must have caused a massive schism in their staff between those who support it and those who think this is hell's spawn18:39
furrywolfmost of my isp's address ranges are banned, and no one will remove them.18:39
nemoI'm currently on 6 freenode channels18:40
DocScrutinizer05so both groups are grumpy18:40
nemofurrywolf: I ran into someone recently using an Iranian proxy.18:40
furrywolfmobile data is evil, and you shouldn't be allowed to connect to freenode while using it, apparantly.18:40
nemothey were not banned18:40
nemoI thought it was also an interesting solution if you were privacy conscious and in a 5 eyes country18:40
nemoproxy through a country likely to tell 5 eyes agents to eff off18:41
furrywolfwikipedia has banned both my isp and all of linode, so I can't even access it through proxying to my server...18:41
nemoinconveniently they are an authoritarian regime so might ban freenode at the drop of a hat, but, apparently weren't doing it in this case18:41
nemomaybe proxies used by infidels get a pass18:41
furrywolfwikipedia, the encyclopedia anyone can edit!  except t-mobile users.  they can fuck off.18:41
nemofurrywolf: wikipedia is controlled by the core editors these days anyway18:41
nemofurrywolf: and the deletionists have waaaaaaaay too much power18:42
furrywolfyeah, I stopped contributing a long time ago.18:42
DocScrutinizer05let's keep it technical please18:42
nemofurrywolf: someone just deleted Hedgewars for the 3rd time - same deletionist as the other times.  As usual they accused us of creating the article (false)18:42
golinuxPlease move this conversation to #debianfork18:42
golinuxRemember that this is a Devuan help channel18:43
* furrywolf notes not everyone is actually in #debianfork 18:49
eyalrozAn unrelated question to what I asked before:18:50
eyalrozWhere can I read news about Devuan and Devuan-Debian "diplomatic relations"? I leafed through the dev1galaxy forum and it doesn't seem to get regular news updates18:50
DocScrutinizer05alas there's no weekly newsletter anymore18:57
DocScrutinizer05not even biweekly or monthly18:58
MinceRDevuan Occasional Newsletter19:03
KatolaZeyalroz: ?19:04
eyalrozKatolaZ: I want to know how things are going with the project19:06
KatolaZeyalroz: there is currently no regular newsletter19:11
kelsoo3ping fsmithred20:51
fsmithredhi kelsoo320:51
kelsoo3Hi20:51
kelsoo3Your do a few things with yad?20:52
fsmithredyeah20:52
kelsoo3you've*20:52
fsmithredrefracta tools and a bunch of scripts I use for various things20:52
kelsoo3Well I'm tring to get a drag n drop launcher for mpv20:52
kelsoo3have you20:52
kelsoo3OK. I'll look later.20:53
fsmithredI don't have one, but I might be able to think of how20:53
fsmithredwhat version of mpv are you using?20:54
kelsoo3I'll look. This is on D2 but for the alpha D3 release20:55
kelsoo3mpv 0.11.020:55
fsmithreddoes it have a graphical interface?20:55
fsmithred0.6 in jessie does not20:55
fsmithred0.23 in ascii does20:56
kelsoo3osd20:56
kelsoo3this is on Dragora20:56
fsmithredwhat's osd?20:56
kelsoo3I just built yad20:56
kelsoo3on screen display20:56
fsmithredyeah, I figured you were on dragora20:56
fsmithredI still don't know what that means20:56
FatPhilKatolaZ: good to see you involved in Ian Jackson's init discussion20:57
kelsoo3The thing is we don't want to have to package 2 media players on the CD. We want mpv from the menu to launch a yaad dnd window asking for the media file20:58
kelsoo3yad20:58
fsmithredyeah, I'm going to check if you can drag into mpv in ascii20:58
kelsoo3Cool20:58
fsmithredbut I'm pretty sure there's a drag option somewhere in yad20:58
kelsoo3There is.. hand on20:59
fsmithredyeah, it says it in big letters when you open mpv20:59
fsmithredDrop files to play here20:59
kelsoo3http://smokey01.com/yad/   scroll down20:59
kelsoo3Where are you looking21:00
fsmithredin ascii21:01
kelsoo3Not here21:01
fsmithredversion 0.1121:01
kelsoo3I wonder if it's a compile option we don't have21:01
fsmithredit has a .desktop file, you can open mpv from menu, and it waits for you to drag21:01
fsmithredcheck the changelog to see when they added this21:02
fsmithredyou're using a version that's halfway between jessie and ascii21:02
kelsoo3Will do. I'll rebuild the package and see if we missed anything. Thanks this was really useful21:03
fsmithredyw21:03
fsmithreddoing with yad would not be difficult21:03
fsmithredthe yad window will output the filename you select21:04
fsmithredso video_file=$(yad --whatever)21:04
fsmithredthen mpv "$video_file"21:04
fsmithredmore or less21:04
kelsoo3That's what I thought. But the fact it wouldn't load  makes me think we missed something in the build21:05
fsmithredadd a set -x to your script so you can see what it's doing21:05
fsmithredI'm testing this now21:08
fsmithredit works21:09
fsmithreddid it on command line: myfile=$(yad --dnd) and dragged an audio file21:09
fsmithredthen mpv "$myfile"21:09
fsmithredand it plays21:09
kelsoo3Thanks again I'll test it21:10
KatolaZFatPhil: it's not just discussion, actually :)21:10
