| furrymcgee | Migration from debian buster to devuan beowulf looks straightforward according to dev1 forum, could dpkg do this migration with a deb package? | 09:44 |
|---|---|---|
| gour | morning all | 09:45 |
| gour | due to my situation in regard to gnucash i moved my main machine to beowulf, while i keep ascii on my spare (netbook) machine | 09:45 |
| gour | gnucash works nicely, wine-apps, skype, viber...everything, except that i've problem with pulseaudio. mixer cannot launch. any hint? | 09:46 |
| watchcat | why didn't you just run beowulf in vm? | 10:14 |
| gour | watchcat: simplicity...i'll stay on beowulf until it becomes stable and then just use stable with some backport if require | 10:39 |
| Evilham | gour: I've been using Beowulf everywhere for a while | 11:15 |
| Evilham | (without graphical environment though) | 11:16 |
| gour | Evilham: thanks | 12:24 |
| gour | Evilham: after Beowulf becomes "next-stable", do you plan to go to "next-testing"? | 12:51 |
| Evilham | yes and no, for some things, I want to be testing what breaks | 12:57 |
| Evilham | gour: for the most part, I use stable until testing is "stable enough" (which is subjective) | 12:57 |
| gour | Evilham: can one assume that some months after release, testing could be stable-enough? | 12:58 |
| Evilham | gour: kind of, yes; things can still break on testing, but as time passes it is less likely | 13:03 |
| gour | ...while stll providing newer software | 13:05 |
| fsmithred | gour, if you wait until debian freezes testing, then things are pretty stable - at that point, they don't introduce new versions | 13:29 |
| fsmithred | and buster has frozen, so beowulf is pretty stable | 13:30 |
| fsmithred | the last hurdle for debian and devuan is to get the installer working properly. That's not an issue if you already installed it. | 13:33 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | somebody around to help me with a chinese address please? | 15:36 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | I got half a novel addr data and no idea what's "street / number", "ZIP", "city" etc | 15:38 |

| ferao | hello | 18:35 |
| gnarface | it's best to just ask your question and wait for a response, ferao | 18:40 |
| gnarface | this is a slow channel | 18:41 |
| ferao | I don't have a question | 18:41 |
| ferao | was just saying hello | 18:41 |
| gnarface | oh, well hello | 18:42 |
| ferao | :-) | 18:42 |
| FlibberTGibbet | hi, just trying refractainstaller on the ascii minimal-live in virtualbox. almost unusable due to weird characters and stuff going on with ncurses. is there anything i might try running first as root before running the script? | 22:09 |
| FlibberTGibbet | ah, didn't realise there was such a nice graphical installer on netinst :) | 22:19 |
| golinux | FlibberTGibbet: I have reported that weird characters also. Can't remember whether I made a bug report. | 22:34 |
| golinux | With KatolaZ on "leave" who knows if/when it will get fixed. | 22:35 |
| ashleyk_ | heh why was avahi installed | 22:56 |
| tuxd3v | golinux, " With KatolaZ on "leave" who knows if/when it will get fixed." | 22:59 |
| tuxd3v | I don't know if I understood it.. | 22:59 |
| tuxd3v | Can you please elaborate on it? | 22:59 |
| gnarface | FlibberTGibbet: did you make sure you installed the "locales" package? | 23:01 |
| tuxd3v | KatolaZ, | 23:01 |
| tuxd3v | Have I understood golinux sentence? | 23:01 |
| tuxd3v | @_@ | 23:02 |
| golinux | tuxd3v: Guess you're not on the mailing list: https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/20190411.081922.f40c32e9.en.html | 23:05 |
| Nematocyst | so did anyone else have issues with that dbus update a few weeks ago? I tried installing it again to see if it had been fixed-- same issue, but I found a solution. nothing held back anymore | 23:16 |
| fsmithred | FlibberTGibbet, run 'dpkg-reconfigure console-setup' and choose UTF-8 as the encoding to use on the console. | 23:34 |
| fsmithred | I just tried it and it worked. Maybe other choices work, too. | 23:34 |
