rseveroJust came back.00:55
rseveroazarus: I was talking about some tests I did about my specific issue: secondary monitor not working through HDMI on my laptop. It wasn't a general statement about Devuan, Ubuntu, Debian or any other distribution. To be fair, your first question sounded a bit off to me too (but not as much as it sounded to golinux, it seems), but I really understood it as a legitimate question.00:58
golinuxSeems it was just the timing that created a misunderstanding.01:00
golinuxrsevero: I assume you are on ascii01:00
golinuxWhat is in your sources.iist?  dev.devuan.org?01:01
golinuxOops deb.devuan.org of course01:02
rseverogolinux: Yes to all above questions.01:04
golinuxHave you diffed the installed packages on both Devuan and Ubuntu?01:05
chainhello!01:05
chainKatolaZ: you're the maintainer of the surf2 browser package right?01:19
chainI was hoping that a more up-to-date version would be available from backports, but now luck, so I built my own from git, but there are some things that I needed to tweak for it to build.01:21
chainFirst I had to revert this commit: https://git.suckless.org/surf/commit/c60523a702fbc77899457243f1a85e4990adfb97.html01:22
chainThe second thing is that the latest version of dmenu adds a new switch, and surf relies on that, so I had to edit config.h01:24
chainand I've changed this:01:24
chain"| dmenu -p \"$4\" -w $1)\" && xprop -id $1 -f $3 8s -set $3 \"$prop\"", \01:24
chainto this:01:24
chain"| dmenu -p \"$4\")\" && xprop -id $1 -f $3 8s -set $3 \"$prop\"", \01:25
chainI just wanted to share this in case it's helpful for anyone01:26
rseverogolinux: How would I do it? Regular diff?02:13
rseveroOh, sorry, you the diff the installed package list, right?02:15
rseveroI believe that to get a meaningful result it would be good to compare Live versions of both, right?02:16
golinuxrsevero:  I am unfamiliar with how the Debian live version installs packages.  I know that Devuan live installs with an rsync of the running system.02:31
golinuxI was thinking of the installed package lists from a clean install.02:32
rseverogolinux: How would you suggest I diff the installed packages list on both distributions?02:32
golinuxWith your favorite diff tool.02:34
golinuxI use a very non-standard one02:35
rseverogolinux: I will do t and will report back. But only tomorrow, it's already late around here.02:49
rseveroThanks.02:51
man_in_shackanyone know of a music ocr program?07:00
rrqsome while ago I was at that question, and afair I used waon for wav-to-midi translation and something else to get sheets from midi. never worked too well though.07:15
KatolaZabout surf2: we will drop the package in unstable/beowulf since surf2 is already available from Debian11:21
KatolaZso there is no need to maintain a copy11:21
MinceRinb4 surf2 acquires a dependency on libsystemd012:42
KatolaZuh?12:48
KatolaZMinceR: ?12:49
MinceR:)12:50
KatolaZwhere does that come from?12:51
MinceRdebian's tendency to make its packages depend on poetteringware12:52
KatolaZMinceR: which package?12:52
MinceRwell, afaik openssh-server became dependent on libsystemd0, i was playing with the idea of surf2 doing the same12:53
KatolaZMinceR: are you serious or just kidding?12:54
KatolaZ:)12:54
MinceRkidding12:54
KatolaZ:D12:54
KatolaZok12:54
MinceRit will become less funny later12:54
KatolaZI wouldn't be surprired though, since surf depends on webkit12:55
KatolaZso you never know12:55
KatolaZ:)12:55
* Bjornn sets a windows CD on fire and smokes a cigarette13:25
djphBjornn: just don't breathe in the Windows CD fumes -- that leads to thinking systemd is a good thing.  anyway, in ontopic things -- ascii is stable, and it more-or-less tracks Stretch, yeah?13:38
gnarfaceyes, ascii corresponds to stretch13:39
djphthanks, I'm lookin at the site going "okay, I know it's around here somewhere" ... and probably scanning right over it.13:40
gnarfaceit's somewhere but i forget where13:40
gnarfacejessie:jessie, ascii:stretch, buster:beowulf, sid:ceres13:40
KatolaZdjph: www.devuan.org13:41
KatolaZ:)13:41
djphKatolaZ: yeah, I was reading it and eyes were just skipping over it... :|13:43
KatolaZ:D13:43
dllbrtHi. What desktops are available in devuan?14:11
AntoFoxdllbrt: mate, xfce cinnamon14:12
KatolaZdllbrt: MATE. Cinnamon, KDE, XFCE, LXQt14:12
jyrihmm, $ QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR points to non-existing path '/run/user/1000', please create it with 0700 permissions.14:14
gnarfacecertainly there's more than that14:14
jyrithat's XDG_RUNTIME_DIR variable is supposed to be created by pam_systemd14:15
KatolaZjyri: there is no pam_systemd in Devuan....14:15
jyriI know, that's why14:16
jyriI'm wondering that what set it up14:16
chainhello everyone!14:17
KatolaZchain: hellp14:17
KatolaZabout surf2, there is no reason to keep forking it14:18
KatolaZsince the version in debian/sid is updated to the latest commit14:18
chainKatolaZ, are you saying that I should use sid repos on my devuan install?14:19
dllbrtHas anyone dug through the code of systemd looking for security breaches/backdoors? Might be interesting to actually find something14:22
KatolaZno chain14:22
KatolaZI am not saying that14:22
KatolaZI am just saying that the version in ceres will be the latest one14:22
chainoh, ok14:23
KatolaZand we won't have a separate Devuan version for surf2 any more14:23
chainKatolaZ, I was looking for a more up to date version on pkginfo.devuan.org, but didn't find it, but I'll switch to the ceres version when it's available.14:31
KatolaZchain: there will be no new versions in ascii14:35
KatolaZunless they come from ascii-updates14:35
KatolaZor ascii-backports14:35
KatolaZthis is not just for surf, but for any package14:35
rseveroHi. I'm coming back with my "laptop HDMI secondary port not working when connection second monitor" issue. With a Live Ubuntu ISO it works perfectly but with a Live Debian ISO and with my actual Devuan install it doesn't. In Ubuntu it works with open source video drivers. This laptop has a dual video board: Intel/NVidia. Suggestions?14:38
rseveroI'm running the latest 4.18 kernel from backports.14:39
gnarfaceyou actually installed bumblebee, right?14:40
gnarfacethere's a package in the repo14:40
rseverognarface: I just don't know what to do with it ;)14:41
gnarfacereally?14:41
gnarfacedo you have the firmware-linux-free package?14:42
rseverognarface: Yes and yes.14:43
gnarfacehow about firmware-linux-nonfree?14:43
gnarfacersevero: here, actually, please try to follow this, tell me where it derails, could you? https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers/Optimus14:45
MirrrHey all14:46
MirrrI was removing some packages and noticed that apt lists software which is being used to be autoremoved.14:47
gnarfacersevero: (you can skip window-manager specific stuff if it's not relevant to you, i just want to know if you have that part working)14:47
rseverognarface: Sure. I will report back. Thanks.14:47
MirrrI was previously a Fedora user. In the dnf manager, the autoremove function as broken, does the same applies to Devuan's apt?14:48
Mirrrwas broken*14:49
djphMirrr: I've not noticed apt having a broken autoremove14:49
gnarfacei don't think so, but it depends on what you mean by broken...14:49
KatolaZMirrr: define "broken"14:50
KatolaZif apt says that something can be removed, then it means that either you have a newer version (due to an upgrade) or the package was installed as a dependency of a package that has been now removed14:51
Mirrrgnarface: Marking packages in use to be removed.14:51
KatolaZand no, the autoremove is not broken in Devuan14:51
KatolaZMirrr: are you sure you don't have another (newer) version of the packages marked for auto-removal?14:52
MirrrKatolaZ: Not at all, I will check this out. Thanks for the clarification, I'm still getting used to apt.14:54
KatolaZyw14:54
gnarfacersevero: if you were serious that you didn't know what to do with bumblebee, you just run it before the commands i think... like "bumblebee glxgears"14:56
gnarfacersevero: or wait, maybe it's "optirun glxgears" i'm not sure14:57
gnarfacecheck and see if the package you're missing is primus, i seem to remember that coming up a few times before...14:58
rseverognarface: I was deadly serious. I just found out this weekend that my laptop had 2 video boards (and only because a friend told me). I have this laptop for years and as it just worked, I never tried anything fancy with it's video boards. I never used bumblebee (or heard about it before this weekend).14:58
gnarfaceok, yea, so basically when you have it working, you prefix the other commands with "optirun" to get them to use the gaming gpu14:59
gnarfacei think you can power it on and off too14:59
rseverognarface: Just checked. I already had primus installed. Going to lunch now. When I'm back I will follow the instructions on the page you sent me.14:59
gnarfacegood luck14:59
dormitoI just noticed that openldap's slapd (in devuan ASCII) does NOT print it's version number with 'slapd -V'  even though "slapd --help" says that -V will print the version (the version number is printed correctly on some other distros). Is this a devuan bug, or an slapd bug (also: how do I figure out the openldap version...)15:16
jyrildap:~# slapd -V15:21
jyri@(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd  (May 23 2018 04:25:19) $15:21
jyriDebian OpenLDAP Maintainers <pkg-openldap-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org>15:21
jyrion ASCII15:22
dormitoyep, note how after "slapd" there is no version number?15:22
jyriyeah, didn't pay any attention to it before15:22
dormitoyeah I want to setup my ldap server, but openldaps config options are rather version dependant (at some point they moved from a configfile, to a db based config... and thats just what I happen to remember)15:25
r3bootdormito: you can (still) run OpenLDAP using 'normal' configuration files. olcConfig is nice, but not a hard requirement15:26
r3bootBiggest advantage you get with olcConfig is that you can change your ACLs + slave configs w/o a restart15:26
dormitoso w/e version is in ASCII supports olcConfig?15:27
jyriii  slapd          2.4.44+dfsg15:28
dormitojyri: which cmd gave you that?15:29
jyri dpkg -l slapd15:29
dormitoahh '-l', thanks15:29
chainKatolaZ: ok, I've added ceres repos to my sources.list, and there is in fact a newer version of surf there. After that I've set lower priority to ceres packages, because I want the rest of my system to stay on ascii.15:57
Bjornnhmm. I wish I had a spare box to install a clean ascii on17:16
golinuxMaybe a VM?17:17
