| relo3 | Hi | 01:04 |
|---|---|---|
| relo3 | Could somebody help me out to make keyboard accents work? I use 2 language layouts, english and portuguese. On the later, the accent keys do not concatenate to the letter (I guess this is called dead keys), but inserts it instantly as a symbol. | 01:06 |
| relo3 | Instead of "é", I get "´e" | 01:06 |
| saptech | greetings all | 01:17 |
| relo3 | Hello | 01:18 |
| saptech | running openbox wm, I installed gkrellm and in the configuration screen I chose "allow multiple instances". Shouldn't it show gkrellm on all virtual desktops? | 01:18 |
| saptech | Mine is showing only on the first desktop | 01:18 |
| saptech | any ideas why it's not? | 01:19 |
| saptech | nevermind, I had to checkbox the Sticky option | 01:21 |

| gallifrey | I'm trying to install Devuan for the first time. It first asks whether to use su or sudo, then asks for a passwor dthat I don | 06:29 |
| gallifrey | 't know. Can anyopne assist? | 06:29 |
| gallifrey | OK so I found it. toor You guys have the WORST install script I've ever seen, and that's saying something. | 06:47 |
| refpga | Hello, there was a bug in Debian Stretch(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=884116) which I was experiencing in kernel version 4.9.0-8. The bug report says that this was fixed in versions linux/4.14.7-1~bpo9+1 & linux/4.9.80-1. Does that hold true for Devuan ASCII too? (I'm experiencing similar symptoms on freezes) | 06:50 |
| refpga | If so, is it safe to pull linux-image-* packages from Ceres repo yet? | 06:52 |
| lysoft2 | y devuan no has systemd? | 11:45 |
| amarsh04 | lysoft2 systemd prevented me from being able to do kexec reboots, it strikes me as throwing away many if not most or all good software design principles | 12:01 |
| lysoft2 | yeah, i mean i'm not *against* systemd but then, i don't really need it, as I can do everything i do without it | 12:38 |
| decent-username | hello everyone. I would love to join the Dev1 Galaxy forum, but you make it pretty hard for me to do so. "Unfortunately it looks like your request is spam." is not really helping. That's why I'm here in the hope that someone could help me resolve this issue. | 15:23 |
| debdog | decent-username: mayhap this helps: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=638 | 15:48 |
| decent-username | debdog:I says I should ping one of the three admins over at #d1g-users, but none of the mentioned users is online. I would love to just be able to send someone an email or something with my email address and username. I'm already compromising a ton, by not using tor to register. | 15:54 |
| debdog | I was actually looking for an email when I found this | 16:03 |
| debdog | found no email yet | 16:03 |
| decent-username | > . < | 16:03 |
| debdog | wait, I might have an email of one of the admins... | 16:04 |
| decent-username | spam is a very hard problem to tackle if you want to be an open forum. I know. | 16:05 |
| debdog | see PM | 16:06 |
| forester | Hi. I have 2 version of python and one program. It work with one version and does not with another. How to set python version for using with this application? | 17:23 |
| ErRandir_ | Usually there are links in /usr/bin to the different python versions. Put the path to the one you need after #! as the 1st line of your python program | 17:31 |
| forester | ErRandir_: Thank you. | 18:00 |
| Hund | Where do I find the documentation for the minimal installation? | 19:48 |
| Hund | Nevermind, the installer is apparently on a separate ISO. | 19:53 |
| rwp | Hund, For a minimum install I have become a fan of using a live boot and then manually using debootstrap to install the small system. Just as a suggestion. | 20:29 |
| Hund | rwp: Okey. :) | 20:35 |
| rwp | Software is so flexible. There is no right answer. It can be shaped and molded as you desire. | 20:37 |
| aggrora | rwp: wow, I have never heard anyone put 'software' in such a sentence. But I do agree with you! | 20:38 |
| rwp | That's how we get the difference between software and hardware and that much less flexible firmware that is on the scale between them. :-) | 20:40 |
| fsmithred | hi | 22:31 |
| debdog | wb | 22:31 |
| fsmithred | thanks. I was checking the time in comparison to a log. | 22:31 |
| fsmithred | two hours ago, Hund said something about the installer being on a separate iso, and I'm not sure what he meant. | 22:32 |
| fsmithred | all the isos come with an installer | 22:33 |
| debdog | prolly mixed up minimal install image with minimal installation | 22:33 |
| fsmithred | yeah, that sounds likely | 22:34 |
| Hund | fsmithred: I mistankenly downloaded the "minimal live". | 22:45 |
| fsmithred | ah | 22:46 |
| fsmithred | it does have an installer | 22:46 |
| fsmithred | as root, run 'refractainstaller' | 22:46 |
| Hund | That's a command I couldn't have figured out myself. | 22:46 |
| fsmithred | nope | 22:46 |
| Hund | The docs should mention it. | 22:46 |
| fsmithred | good point | 22:47 |
| Hund | :) | 22:47 |
| fsmithred | I think the readme.txt probably does mention it | 22:47 |
| fsmithred | if you want lvm or raid, that installer won't do it. | 22:48 |
| Hund | I'm a simple user. :) | 22:48 |
| golinux | Hund: Check out pending changes to the index page of the website: https://beta.devuan.org/ | 22:48 |
| fsmithred | but it will let you do it manually and then copy the system to your chosen partitions | 22:48 |
| golinux | It will now describes the isos a bit | 22:48 |
| Hund | golinux: Nice! :) | 22:48 |
| fsmithred | yeah, the minimal live is very minimal. | 22:49 |
| golinux | And it mentions the refractainstaller | 22:49 |
| Hund | I noticed. :) | 22:49 |
| KatolaZ | Hund: I guess the readme mentions refractainstaller... | 22:49 |
| fsmithred | smaller than a minimal install from the regular installer isos | 22:49 |
| golinux | Boots to console | 22:49 |
| KatolaZ | https://files.devuan.org/devuan_ascii/minimal-live/README.txt <- Hund | 22:50 |
| KatolaZ | 4) Installing on a hard drive | 22:50 |
| Hund | KatolaZ: That's good. But what good does it do if I can't find the readme? :P | 22:50 |
| fsmithred | um, it's right next to the iso | 22:50 |
| golinux | Look harder | 22:50 |
| KatolaZ | Hund: the readme is also in the /root directlry | 22:50 |
| KatolaZ | directory | 22:51 |
| Hund | I didn't think to check there. | 22:51 |
| Hund | I looked at the website. | 22:51 |
| golinux | Devuan requires "thinking". LOL! | 22:51 |
| KatolaZ | Hund: /root/README_ASCII | 22:51 |
| KatolaZ | Hund: https://files.devuan.org/devuan_ascii/minimal-live/README.txt | 22:52 |
| KatolaZ | it's the same file | 22:52 |
| Hund | golinux: I'm not sure if you mean that in a serious or a sarcastic way? :) | 22:53 |
| KatolaZ | Hund: if you are familiar with debian-installer, you might want to use netinst or the DVD instead | 22:54 |
| golinux | A bit of both . . . | 22:54 |
| KatolaZ | fsmithred: actually the minimal-live is quite bloated :P | 22:55 |
| Hund | In what way does it require thinking? | 22:55 |
| KatolaZ | fsmithred: has more packages than a base install | 22:55 |
| KatolaZ | about 600 | 22:55 |
| KatolaZ | a base install stands around 200 package | 22:55 |
| KatolaZ | ~packages | 22:55 |
| KatolaZ | Hund: I think golinux had in mind "thinking about reading the readme.txt" :) | 22:56 |
| Hund | KatolaZ: I'm not new to reading the docs, but reading a readme.txt next to the ISO is news for me. :P | 22:59 |
| Hund | I'm used to reading a wiki. | 22:59 |
| golinux | Hund: A treasure hunt requires thinking of where to find it. | 22:59 |
| KatolaZ | Hund: it's IN the ISO, actually... | 22:59 |
| KatolaZ | (as well) | 22:59 |
| Hund | Who looks there? :P | 22:59 |
| fsmithred | I was thinking about how you trimmed down the initrd | 22:59 |
| fsmithred | oh right, it has console productivity, doesn't it? | 23:00 |
| golinux | And tools for visual disability | 23:01 |
| KatolaZ | yeah it does | 23:01 |
| KatolaZ | I am thinking of including debian-installer in minimal-iso BTW | 23:02 |
| fsmithred | why do people keep saying that non-free firmware won't install? I found it difficult to prevent it from being installed. | 23:06 |
| golinux | Maybe they mean, "Won't install automatically." | 23:08 |
| fsmithred | it does imstall automatically | 23:08 |
| fsmithred | unless you do exactly the right things - expert and choose a mirror | 23:09 |
| golinux | New hardware? | 23:09 |
| fsmithred | dunno | 23:09 |
| golinux | No video either (which is fine by me) | 23:10 |
| * golinux goes to check on the granola | 23:10 | |
