refracta_noobfreem, you were saying yesterday something about needing to open up X?00:20
refracta_noobon startup or something like that I think00:22
refracta_noobhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XSplash  this is ancient but maybe it's hackable?00:23
buZzthere's also some bootsplash support in kernel, isnt there?00:38
buZzoh, i think thats mostly 'dont touch the fbdev output, there might already be a picture from bootloader'00:40
fsmithredGup, don't use auto.mirror.devuan.org for ascii. Use deb.devuan.org02:52
aitorhi13:22
aitori uploaded the code of the netstatus plugin:13:27
aitorgnuinos.org/netdev/13:27
aitorinstall libiw-dev and ethtool and build it, then just run:13:28
aitor./netdev_info13:28
aitorif a concret device is connected, you'll get status=CONNECTED13:29
aitorif the ethernet cable is plugged, you'll get plugged=YES13:30
aitoretc...13:30
aitori need testers, thanks in advance :)13:31
aitorthe code detects if the cable is plugged/unplugged even being disconneted; this will be useful for the automatically connect option13:33
aitorthis file uses code taken from the netstat plug-in of the LXPanel:13:36

xrogaanis it possible to get rid of some of the log spam in auth.log? Stuff like: CRON[17553]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)14:02
xrogaanrepeated every 5 minutes14:02
gnu_srs1buZz: Maybe real is a better word ;)14:02
xrogaanit probably comes from sysstat14:07
xrogaanthis runs every 5 minutes. I have no idea why I have sysstat installed (root) CMD (command -v debian-sa1 > /dev/null && debian-sa1 1 1)14:08
xrogaanseems important, too bad.14:09
xrogaanthe backports have this in the changelog: set Rules-Requires-Root to "no";14:11
xrogaanI wonder if that disable the root login spam too.14:11
xrogaanactually, sysstat is disabled. The command runs for nothing.14:18
buZzno crontab for root14:18
buZzdno14:18
xrogaanyeah crontab for root > /etc/cron.d/sysstat14:18
xrogaanis a system task under root.14:19
aitorthanks for your attention, concretly to gnu_srs1!15:29

filipdevuanhey im not experienced user but devuan is the best os iv ever used so far, everything works so great and yet there are no crashes and stuff like that16:47
filipdevuanwindows 10 after iv installed diablo 3 path of exile and used internet for a week like i did now with devuan was 50 times slowlier, and i really mean it, 50 times slowlier its unbelieveable16:48
gnarfaceisn't it strange how rare this knowledge is?16:53
filipdevuanyeah16:55
filipdevuanit is very strange. the first thing was too many useless stuff on windows 10 running in background16:56
filipdevuanthen i was reading lots about corporates spying on people via internet16:56
filipdevuanso after few days of researching i discovered that apparently the best OS is one without systemd so i had no systemd linux list and tried devuan and now devuan is part of my life ;)16:56
buZz:) cool16:57
filipdevuanbut weird stuff is when i deleted windows 10 to install linux i thought so im never gonna play diablo 3 again and now this game runs better on devuan than it did on win10 hahah16:57
g4570nwelcome aboard :)16:58
filipdevuanim glad that i found this16:59
filipdevuandistro16:59
filipdevuani have a gaming laptop now not because of hardware but because of software xD17:01
filipdevuanmy friend asked me if game called crysis 3 would run on linux17:01
filipdevuani said yeah its a matter of configuration, libraries and scripts17:01
g4570nyou use wine?17:02
filipdevuanyeaah. ;D of course i play diablo 3 on highest details ;D. When i put no fps limit i had some issues with cpu temperature lol my laptop was going to explode17:03
filipdevuanbut its a laptop so its not a matter of devuan no, its diablo 3 and a hardware17:04
filipdevuanbut when i put fps limit like 120-150 then core temp is like 70-75 celcius degrees so its ok17:04
filipdevuanthe only thing that i regret is that i bought laptop with windows 10 preinstalled however iv seen ones without os for the price that i paid for the one iv got right now17:06
filipdevuanand the only difference is 4gb more ram memory and intel i7 instead of i5. But i cant wait till ill have funds to make proper gaming PC and of course devuan gonna be on it ;). I dont really know better OS than this one, never experienced better one in my life...17:07
g4570nwhat graphics card do you have? Intel?17:08
filipdevuani have optimus card intel hd and geforce 940mx. im glad that my laptop can handle diablo 3 on highest though... the only difference between pc and this laptop would be just more fps because of better cooling i think17:08
filipdevuani wonder whats the best gpu for linux though, iv always wanted to try amd processors and ati radeons to get off from nvidia and especially intel17:09
g4570nI heard that AMD is doing very well, but I have not tried it17:11
filipdevuanone guy told me that amd has problems with overheating but not sure if its true, but im not fan of intel ;P17:11
g4570nDo your graphics cards have DDR or HBM memories?17:11
filipdevuanbut right now when i have devuan i just prefer to run windows games that i like instead of using it for gnu and free software purposes...17:12
filipdevuanoh im not sure how can i check it?17:12
g4570ntry looking for model specifications on the internet17:13
filipdevuanddr3 gddr517:15
g4570nnice!17:16
filipdevuanyeah im very happy and excited with what my laptop can run on linux devuan, really...17:16
filipdevuanand the performance17:16
filipdevuanlike too happy i mean17:16
filipdevuananyways im back to gaming have a nice day ;)17:24
u0_a75sup guys18:37
SuicideJunkieHi everybody.  I've gotten myself down another rabbit hole :)18:44
SuicideJunkieLong story short, Google changed their OAuth policies, and so in order to unlock my android phone after that factory reset, I need to sideload Marshmallow first.18:46
SuicideJunkieGot the ADB package on my Devuan Jessie box here, but the phone says it needs v32 rather than v31.18:46
SuicideJunkieI tried poking it with the ASCII box, and while that has a newer ADB version, it also doesn't recognize the phone properly over USB.18:47
SuicideJunkieSo, to sum up, I need to get a minimally newer ADB package onto this box to save my phone.18:48
filipdevuanthe best solution for this is to stop using google services and products and then theres no problem ;)18:51
SuicideJunkieThe first step of that would be installing a different OS on the phone.18:52
SuicideJunkieI do agree it is a silly system dependency tho.18:53
filipdevuanwell sorry im newbie and not a linux master but i hate google so im being silly now ;P18:54
SuicideJunkieI more hate hard dependencies on the internet.18:55
SuicideJunkieAlthough, I suppose as a human I've developed something of a dependency on the internet myself and would suffer withdrawal symptoms.18:55
filipdevuanyeah i hate that as well19:10
ChuangTzugreetings all21:18
golinuxChuangTzu: Howdy21:45
golinuxI've been of having some late b'fast21:45
golinuxoff really21:45
ChuangTzu:)  just enjoying a cup of tea21:46
golinuxI'm about to do that myself.  bbiab21:47
ChuangTzuI posted the Bruce Perens endorsement on an LQ subthread "Is Devuan better then Debian"21:47
ChuangTzuhttps://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-distributions-5/is-devuan-better-than-debian-4175600564/page3.html21:48
msiismso, to check if sth depends on dbus, i'd just have to run 'apt-get depends <package>'? what if dependency $b of package $a depended on dbus?22:03
msiisms/-get/-cache22:03
msiismthe easiest solutions seems to be to install 'apt-rdepends' and use that. but it seems this can also be done through 'apt-cache' somehow.22:14
golinuxChuangTzu: Nice.22:18
fsmithredmsiism, just pin dbus to -1 and you won't be able to install anything that depends on it.22:23
fsmithred(unless you're trying to remove stuff)22:23
msiismfsmithred: i'm trying to verfiy spacefm doesn't depend on dbus.22:24
msiismfsmithred: 'apt-cache rdepends dbus | grep spacefm' gives me 'spacefm' and 'spacefm-gtk3'.22:27
ChuangTzuI think dbus is a suggestion for spacefm not required22:29
fsmithredmsiism, I'm sure it does not - it's installed my no-dbus system22:29
fsmithredmight be a recommends - I have those blocked22:29
msiismChuangTzu: yes, that's what 'apt-cache depends spacefm | grep dbus' says.22:29
msiismfsmithred: ok, so i'd really have to test with dbus pinned to -1 to make sure, i guess.22:30
fsmithredyeah, but don't do that if you already have dbus installed. You might lose a bunch of stuff.22:31
msiismfsmithred: yes, i will do it on a testing system once i have one available again.22:31
fsmithredcool. Let me know how it goes.22:32
msiismwill do22:32
filipdevuanim thinking if i should download steam or no... im worried about what does it install on my computer...22:34
filipdevuanim worried that it may do something with my graphics card drivers22:35
msiismfilipdevuan: do you have a spare machine available?22:36
filipdevuananyways i think im gonna grab my laptop go somewhere nice in the nature and read about linux basics22:36
filipdevuannoo, i dont ;p22:36
msiismfilipdevuan: then there is also virtualization.22:36
filipdevuanplaying same windows games all the time is retarded22:37
filipdevuanwell i used to install it before but i just dont trust this platform, i have diablo 3 running on my OS and i probably dont need anything like steam but i fancy playing some PvP game22:37
filipdevuanand is oracle the only company that makes virtual boxes22:38
fsmithredthere's qemu22:40
fsmithredfree22:40
filipdevuanqemu?22:40
filipdevuanoh ill have a look cheers22:40
fsmithredyeah, for virtualization.22:40
fsmithrednot clicky like virtualbox, but very usable.22:40
filipdevuanok cheers22:41
aitorhola23:22
aitoréste es el cuarto foro en el que me inscribo que trate de gnu/linux23:23
aitoranteriormente ya me expulsaron de tres23:23
aitorjobregón?23:24
SuicideJunkieHi23:24
SuicideJunkieIt is mostly if not all english in here.23:24
aitori promised to talk with him this week23:25
aitor23:30!23:25
aitori only have half an hour23:25
SuicideJunkieI see jobregon[m] is in the channel, but maybe not at the computer23:25
aitormaybe in #devuan-mx23:27
ChuangTzuexpelled from three distros?23:27
SuicideJunkieI read it as irc channels, where a kick isn't that big a deal23:28
aitorfrom three forums :)23:28
ChuangTzuahh, that makes sense23:28
aitorbut i try :)23:29
SuicideJunkieI wouldn't be surprised if some have itchy kickers for other languages.23:30
SuicideJunkieaitor: forums like as in places using phpBB and XenForo?23:31
aitorand ruby23:32
SuicideJunkieOh, I figured it was just a mistranslation.23:33
ChuangTzuso its what I thought...question now is why would a person be kicked form three different forums23:34
ChuangTzu*from23:34
aitori'm alone in #devuan-mx :(23:35
aitoranother one added to the list :(23:35
aitormy posts are quite annoying23:36
aitori never read them23:36
SuicideJunkieWhat?23:37
SuicideJunkieA) you can't count joining an empty channel as being kicked from a forum.23:38
SuicideJunkieB) How?  Do you stare at the keyboard while typing and hope for the best? :D  Surely you read your own posts at least once!23:38
ChuangTzuill check in later.23:40
aitorlol, seems to be a psychological test23:41
aitori'ĺl try in another time, g4570n is also missing23:43
aitoropps!23:44
aitorg4570n, see you :)23:44
aitorno worries23:44
tocsaGood afternoon I'm running Devuan ascii23:46
tocsaI'm trying to install remmina23:46
tocsaSome packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:23:47
tocsaThe following packages have unmet dependencies: remmina : Depends: libssh-4 (>= 0.8.0~20170825.94fa1e38) but 0.7.3-2 is to be installed23:47
tocsaAnyone came across that? I just said `sudo apt install remmina`23:48
Jjp137tocsa, for some reason apt install doesn't notice that the version of libssh-4 it needs is in ascii-backports, so try: apt-get install -t ascii-backports remmina23:50
aitorhttps://packages.debian.org/stretch-backports/gnome/remmina23:50
tocsa"apt-get install -t ascii-backports remmina" worked23:53
tocsaThanks @Jjp13723:53
Jjp137np!23:53
tocsaWill this have any consequences in the future if I install it like that?23:53
golinuxaitor . . . you know better than to suggest using Debina repos directly.23:54
Jjp137uh shouldn't be, but just make sure to only install what you really, really need from backports23:54
aitorDebina?23:54
tocsaGotcha!23:55
tocsaI would not mix in Debian (I made that mistake before) :D23:55
