DarwinElfupgrade Devuan 2 to 2.1?11:44
gnarfaceit's supposed to work, yes11:47
gnarfaceor are you trying to figure out how?11:48
Jorilgnarface: isn't it just a normal apt update?11:48
gnarfaceit shouldn't be any different than a normal update, yes11:48
DarwinElfyes, I am trying to figure out how... or maybe I already did but forgot11:48
gnarfaceif you already did "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" you already have it.  it's safe to do again.... unless your /etc/apt/sources.list is jacked up11:49
DarwinElfi have some virtual private servers with Devuan ASCII... /etc/debian_version says 2...11:49
DarwinElforiginally I had to convert them myself11:49
gnarfacei assume you have to update them yourself11:50
DarwinElfi setup unattended-upgrades11:50
gnarfaceit probably has a log somewhere you can verify11:50
JorilOdd, my /etc/debian_version says 911:51
DarwinElfoh, or maybe I hadn't set it up...11:51
gnarfaceDarwinElf: there's also /var/log/apt/history.log11:51
DarwinElfisn't part of it apt-get dist-upgrade?11:54
GyrosGeierit's a conffile11:55
GyrosGeierso dpkg refuses to overwrite it if it's changed vs what it expects11:55
gnarfaceDarwinElf: that's only for upgrading to a new release.  you're just upgrading the current release.  it also shouldn't matter if you run it anyway though.11:56
gnarfaceDarwinElf: (dist-upgrade will just be redundant in that case)11:57
DarwinElfoh, so that would be something like 3.0 next?11:58
gnarfaceyes11:58
gnarfaceupgrading to that would include a change to your sources.list file and the dist-upgrade step you metioned11:59
DarwinElfi'm not sure what to choose in 50unattended-upgrades .  I'd like to upgrade only stable/security realeases unless I need to use something like backports in the future, then do that at that time...11:59
gnarfacei've never used it, honestly.11:59
DarwinElfbut there are so many choices I don't know what they all are...11:59
gnarfacedo you know about man pages?12:00
DarwinElfyes12:00
gnarfaceif there aren't any, or if they suck, check in /usr/share/doc/[package name]/ for supplementary documentation12:00
DarwinElfthere isn't one12:00
DarwinElfand there isn't really any documentation on this12:01
gnarfacenot even in /usr/share/doc/?12:01
meep_____DarwinElf: i autoinstall security updates across prod servers12:01
meep_____It works fine12:01
DarwinElfthe documentation in the configuration file is as cryptic as some of the worst Unix manpages12:01
meep_____Never had an issue12:01
meep_____*on Devuan Stable12:01
DarwinElfwhat's codename 'ascii-updates"?'12:08
gnarfaceDarwinElf: previously known as volatile - stuff like updates to the tzdata package12:11
gnarface(like when the president orders it changed for example)12:12
DarwinElfoh...12:12
gnarfacesometimes stuff needs to be updated to be "correct" even if it's not a "bug" or security vulnerability.  understand?  that stuff goes in udpates12:12
gnarfaceupdates*12:13
gnarfaceat least that's my vague understanding of it.  the system will function fine without it but i'd recommend leaving it on12:13
gnarfacethere might be a reason to exclude it but i think when in doubt it's safe to assume you want it12:14
gnarfacethe free geoip database updates might fall under that category too, iirc12:15
DarwinElfthanks12:18
ChimpZhello there15:28
ChimpZanyone has a good argument in favour of NOT upgrading from Ascii to Beowulf?15:28
ChimpZor, alternatively, anyone has a simple/elegant way of installing opam 2.0.x on Ascii?15:29
mason(Context: I answered last night so I won't again, but I thought this'd be a less biased place to ask than the dev channel.)15:30
Tenkawamason: what is the dev channel btw?16:12
TenkawaI'm interested in potentially getting more involved if I can (especially now that I have a lot of free time)16:13
tponafChimpZ: i don't know that package but you might consider compiling opam 2.0.x16:24
Tenkawayeah a good ole apt -b source sounds pretty good to me too16:27
ShorTieis 'DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive' valid ??16:28
ShorTieNo such file or directory16:28
tponafi also find my long relationship with Beowulf has been a happy one16:28
TenkawaShorTie: checking16:29
Tenkawayou need to set that variable beforehand ie:16:31

AlexLikeRockhi guys ,20:00
AlexLikeRocki need a  VIRTUAL KEYBOARD to my devuan,20:00
AlexLikeRockmy fiphical keyboard its broken20:00
masonAlexLikeRock: A cheap USB keyboard might be the most sensible solution.20:01
masonI can't see an on-screen keyboard being usable.20:02
AlexLikeRockwell , some times , its no available USB-KEYBOARD20:02
masonAlexLikeRock: Do you mean your keyboard works sometimes, but only sporadically?20:03
tponaf_there's a virtual keyboard named 'florence' for debian AlexLikeRock20:03
AlexLikeRockkeyboard of my laptop : NOT WORK20:04
AlexLikeRockUSB-keyboard : some times are LOSE at home20:05
AlexLikeRocki am at DEVUAN JESSIE20:06
tponaf_let me know how florence works for you AlexLikeRock20:06
ejrhi! so i installed devuan 3.0 recently and am very happy with it so far. i wonder about some services running though, and am not sure about what they all are. could someone please have a look at my services list (this is the result of ls /etc/init.d/) and tell me if there is anything running that should not be running on a relatively minimum installation?23:41
ejrhttps://termbin.com/a9lg23:41
ejri installed tor, xserver,thinkfan and network-manager, so those are allowed23:41
Atari-FroschHm. In Debian Jessie, in mc (midnight commander) when I pressed return on an image file (jpg, png, …), it was opened automagically with feh. I have never configured that, it just worked. Now on Devuan ASCII I have feh installed, but mc opens images in gimp. I cannot find out where this was configured.23:42
masonejr: That's a list of service files, not a list of running services.23:43
ejryes, i stand corrected there23:43
masonejr: You can read each and see a description up at the top.23:43
masonIt's all pleasingly self-documenting, and if you have additional questions, feel free to ask them ehre.23:44
masonhere*23:44
masonbrb in any event, checking in with the family after a string of meetings23:44
ejrprobably a good idea to familiarize oneself with the services anyway, so yes, i am looking into them individually. thx23:48
debdogAtari-Frosch: I am not entirely certain but I think mc uses debian's mime system https://wiki.debian.org/MIME but it is possible to overwrite the settings in $HOME/.config/mc/mc.ext23:50
Atari-Froschdebdog: OK, I'll look into that, thank you.23:52
debdogwould be nice to have some documentation 'bout that, Atari-Frosch :D  I think the mime system has some serious flaws. AFAIKS the latest prog that has been installed is the one the mime points to and that is not always favourable. esp. if the the latest prog was wine...23:55
