HackphiLs/ans/and09:15
HackphiLhave I to seleclect Xfce (default) and Console productivity ?09:17
crashoverrideHackphiL: so basically, someone came and selected the French locale for you, so it's not your fault if you just mindlessly copy the screen verbatim?09:26
crashoverridehow french...09:26
crashoverrideJust for your information, the person selecting the French locale was YOU.09:27
crashoverrideand it's on YOU to make yourself easy to understand for those who might try to help you.09:27
HackphiLsorry but my english speaking is so less and bad I don't understand more than 25% you wrote09:37
HackphiLwhat init system take crashoverride ?09:38
HackphiLsysvinit or09:38
HackphiLopenrc ?09:38
HackphiLstandard choice... sysvinit09:39
HackphiLinstalling packages...09:40
crashoverrideHackphiL: en gros j'ai écrit que tu devais vraiment faire des efforts pour être compris; et ta réponse, c'est "nan désolé j'ai aucune envie de faire des efforts et je ne te comprends qu'a 25%"? Oo09:40
HackphiLgrub on hda09:40
crashoverrideseriously.09:40
crashoverrideI don't wanna get rude but you make it hard.09:40
HackphiLeveryone should have to speak the language he wants there he is and everyone should answer with his choice too. non?09:42
HackphiLs/non?/what do you think about?09:43
HackphiL;)09:43
crashoverrideI think you live in a fantasy world in which translation is a perfect and automated process.09:44
crashoverrideso until then, it's on YOU to do the effort of being understood.09:44
HackphiLfor me "sorry" is "i beg your pardon" not "désolé"09:44
crashoverrideyeah and for me, /ignore is "I don't wanna waste more of my time with you" not "you should not exist"09:46
HackphiLend of install... reboot... lets pray brothers and sisters... ;)09:47
crashoverridealso, just for your information "I beg your pardon" literally means "je vous supplie, pardonnez moi"09:47
crashoverrideso even if you understand this as "yo, wat?", it's actually still meaning "désolé"09:48
HackphiLI think, "désolé" is became a kind of "go to hell or never mind the bollocks"09:48
HackphiLall seems ok09:55
xrogaanI know devuan forks the udev package, so I'm asking here first: how do I get the version of uded?12:06
xrogaanudev?12:06
xrogaanapt show output: Version: 1:3.2.7+devuan1.112:07
gnarfacethe which version?12:07
xrogaanbut udevadm --version output 22012:07
xrogaanfound an issue with some rule: udevd[425]: invalid key/value pair in file /lib/udev/rules.d/60-steam-input.rules on line 42, starting at character 82 ('u')12:07
xrogaanwhich I intent to report, but I'm not sure about the version of udev shipped with devuan12:08
xrogaanoffending line is: KERNEL=="input*", ATTRS{name}=="Lic Pro Controller", RUN{program}+="/bin/sh -c \"udevadm test-builtin uaccess /sys/%p/../../hidraw/hidraw*\""12:08
gnarfacethe fork is called eudev12:08
gnarfaceyou can check current versions here: https://pkginfo.devuan.org/12:08
xrogaanshouldn't apt tell me that?12:09
gnarfacewell, sure, it can too12:09
xrogaanapt-file list eudev doesn't output anything.12:09
gnarfaceinteresting, but apt-file doesn't have a history of actually working so that's not a big hint12:10
xrogaanseems like you misunderstood. Not the fork of udev, the fork of the package.12:10
gnarfaceyou're correct, i'm still not sure what you're asking for12:10
xrogaanas in devuan repackage some stuff to get rid of systemd12:10
xrogaanwell, devuan's version isn't the same as the output of the command line12:11
xrogaanoh, is it because it's the version of systemd and not actual udev?12:11
gnarfacei dunno, but part of the reason i recommended pkginfo.devuan.org was so i didn't have to think about it12:12
gnarfacehttps://git.devuan.org/ are you looking for this?12:12
gnarfaceall the parts that aren't in a actual package, including the parts the build the packages, should be here12:13
gnarfaceversion 1:3.2.7+devuan1.1 might be a transitional meta-package that points to eudev, so the version wouldn't match12:14
xrogaanI think you somehow guided me towards an understanding. I have to report the "thing" that manage the peripherals and its version.12:15
fsmithredxrogaan, cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/eudev.list12:44
fsmithredcat /var/lib/dpkg/info/libeudev1\:amd64.list12:44
xrogaanindeed12:45
xrogaanshould replace cat with less or more though ;)12:45
fsmithredI don't see 60-steam12:45
xrogaanit's from valve's repo12:45
xrogaanif you want to use steam, you have to use their repo for a proper support of *everything*.12:46
fsmithredyeah, I don't mess with that.12:46
fsmithredI'm happy with freecell12:46
xrogaan3d stuff is a pain on linux distro. They've made an excellent job of providing a stable base for everybody.12:47
gnarfacexrogaan: false, it'll break shit.  use the version in the repo12:54
gnarfacexrogaan: the version in the devuan repo12:54
gnarfacexrogaan: you'll still need to alter the udev rules though if you intend to use a steam controller fully12:55
gnarfaceit's non-obvious what the rules need to do, but i can help with that probably if you need it12:55
xrogaanwhat does it break?12:58
gnarfaceseveral of the games, and occasionally your system upgrade12:58
xrogaanI use steam-launcher, which is just a bootstrapper to install steam itself.12:59
gnarfacethe one from their site is packaged for ubuntu, so aside from some version conflicts it can cause dependency corruption12:59
xrogaanthe list of files installed are icons, a bash script, .desktop file and some udev rules.12:59
xrogaanIt isn't though.12:59
gnarfaceit also bundles several libraries that are in conflict with native debian versions13:00
xrogaanit's self contained and depends on generally available software, like curl, apt or xterm13:00
gnarfaceso they cause persistent crashing of certain games, or occasionally the client itself, depending13:00
gnarfaceyea the "self-contained" part is a source of a lot of the compatibility problems actually13:01
gnarfaceit would have worked out overall better if they hadn't don that13:01
gnarfacedone that*13:01
gnarfaceanyway, whatever works for you13:01
gnarfacejust don't say i didn't warn you13:01
xrogaanI've been using this thing for over a year...13:02
gnarfacei've been using it since they launched steam on linux so maybe you've just been lucky13:03
gnarfacea year on the same release, right?13:03
gnarfaceso you haven't even passed it through a major upgrade yet, have you?13:04
xrogaanThe only package in the repo is the steam launcher.13:04
gnarfaceit's in non-free13:04
xrogaanin valve's repo13:05
gnarfaceno, i mean in the devuan repo, the one called just "steam" is the one you need, it's in non-free13:05
xrogaanThe content of the Package files from valve's repository: http://dpaste.com/2EYXPE213:06
xrogaanThey made something called steam-runtime in which they start some games, it isn't installed system wide.13:07
ham5urgWhat happened to devuan.org?13:36
ham5urg$ ping devuan.org13:36
ham5urgping: devuan.org: Name or service not known13:36
absintheham5urg: it's working for me13:37
ham5urgsome DNS-problem of my provider I guess. Maybe not refreshing fast enough.13:37
absintheyep perhaps13:38
zalckosThe repository 'http://deb.devuan.org/merged testing-security Release' does not have a Release file.14:05
zalckosshould I use beowulf-security instead?14:06
xrogaanham5urg: `host devuan.org 8.8.8.8` to use google's dns14:07
xrogaanzalckos: beowulf is stable14:08
zalckosyes I know14:08
xrogaanSo testing-security doesn't land on beowulf anymore.14:08
zalckosI've set everything to testing14:09
zalckosexcept for security, because it gives me a 40414:09
zalckos(when I apt update)14:10
xrogaanyes, there is no security update for testing.14:10
xrogaanWouldn't make sense to have any14:10
zalckosah so I should just comment out those lines?14:10
xrogaanmaybe I'm wrong14:15
xrogaanthere is a debian testing-security.14:15
zalckoswell, after doing so, and performing an update, no changes in my packages occurred14:16
xrogaandevuan doesn't seem to mirror it though.14:16
zalckoshm yeah, at the very least it's confusing14:17
zalckoshttps://devuan.org/os/packages doesn't clarify things either14:18
xrogaanthe content of testing-security is empty though14:19
xrogaanSo no need to mirror an empty repo14:20
xrogaantesting would most probably upgrade to the latest version instead of writing a security patch14:21
xrogaandebian security is really just that: back porting security fixes into stable without changing the major version.14:21
xrogaanSo I'd say you can safely comment testing-security14:22
zalckoswith the knowledge I have about it, I'd agree with you, thanks14:25
xrogaanif you're concerned, you can always subscribe to https://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/14:27
fsmithreddebian testing-security Contents file is empty14:42
ham5urganyone here who got a md-raid to boot via efi-grub?14:52
ham5urgI have two md-raids, one for /boot, one for /.14:53
ham5urgI chrooted into my debootstraped devuan-installation and mounted the efi partition to /mnt.     grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --removable --boot-directory=/boot --efi-directory=/mnt14:54
ham5urgBut no grub appears when I pull the disks into another machine.14:55
untakenstupidnici don't really like to brawl and the developers perhaps had good intentions when making the live image but16:49
untakenstupidnicfuck you, when i have unchecked cleanup.sh (whatever that is) and i have specified that i don't want the installation system to format my partition, i am normally supposed to be wanting to keep my files16:50
untakenstupidnicwhy the f should it delete my files when there is more than enough space16:51
untakenstupidnicwhat kind of common sense is that16:52
Bjornnnon hostile hostility I guess it's a thing17:56
nemough. I hate VMWare so very much19:02
nemohttps://my.vmware.com/en/web/vmware/downloads/details?downloadGroup=CART21FQ1_LIN64_541&productId=863&rPId=47873  - released 2020-04-09... I'm like. hm. must be from this year, I can remove my ascii pin on opensc19:03
nemonope.19:03
nemosegfault in CRYPTO_THREAD_write_lock in libcrypto.so.1.1 invoked by opensc19:04
nemowell... in all fairness at this point the bug might be in opensc/libcrypto in devuan19:04
nemoI tried libcoolkey and while it didn't crash, it couldn't reliably read the card either19:04
nemosooo reinstalling the ascii opensc-pkcs1119:05
nemowhich worked perfectly19:05
nemothat said, I'm betting the problem is really VMWare since they force their own libssl.1.0.2 and libcrypto.1.0.2 - and if I use the system ones instead, no more PKCS crashes BUT they now foul up the server certificate exchange19:09
fsmithreduntakenstupidnic, normally, you don't want to install an operating system on a partition that already has an operating system.19:17
yetinormally...19:20
yetibut...19:20
fsmithredI can't actually think of a case where you would want to do that19:22
yetiadd an os to a formaer /home partition?19:22
fsmithredyeah, I guess19:23
nemofsmithred: I have in fact done that ☺19:26
nemofsmithred: also... a couple of times I've upgraded without rebooting19:26
fsmithredwhat do you mean?19:27
Pr0metheusare you guys also signing pdf documents using cards with certificates? I haven't found a solution to this19:27
nemofsmithred: switched from.. man, I forget now, some redhat-y thing back in the day to gentoo by installing it over existing setup19:27
fsmithrednemo, that sounds like a very bad idea19:27
nemo19:27
nemofsmithred: worked. and. eh. home machine.  I distinctly remember someone mentioning doing same thing19:27
nemomaybe unc0rr19:27
fsmithredgoing for maximum cruft?19:28
nemoheh19:28
untakenstupidnicfsmithred, the fact that only a minority would do that is not an excuse for non-intuitive shit. if i wanted to delete my files, wouldn't it be faster to format it than having them rm'ed one by one?19:28
fsmithredok, so now I have to remember why the deletes are in the rsync command19:28
fsmithredit's been like that for 8 or 9 years19:29
yetiIf I say "dont format" I expect the data not to vanish19:30
yeti.19:30
yetievery other move is unintuitive19:30
yetiI think I'll never trust an installer... in the penguindimension19:31
fsmithredI'm suspicious of all of them19:32
* yeti will take over the world from an eshell prompt!19:33
fsmithredinstaller is going to be updated very soon for another reaon, and I will remove the --delete-before from the rysnc command. The --delete-excludes will stay.19:38
untakenstupidnicwhat damage would have been done by choosing calamares or ubiquity?19:39
fsmithredI know nothing about ubiquity. I did take a look at calamares, but I don't know any reason to switch to it.19:41
untakenstupidnicit deleted my files19:41
fsmithredyeah, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you had backups.19:42
untakenstupidnici pkilled it midway, that was just a reason if you wanted one19:42
fsmithredthere are lots of ways to screw up during an install19:43
untakenstupidnicit is still better get rid of one of them, meanwhile avoiding potential problems in a less tested system with at least one obvious bug.19:45
fsmithredwhich one are you saying is less tested?19:49
untakenstupidnicthe thing you use on devuan. calamares is used on kubuntu, manjaro, etc.19:53
fsmithredI have no idea which one has been used more. Calamares is fairly new.19:54
untakenstupidnicthere is still ubiquity, also there are so many people developing it and so many eyes finding bugs in it and i haven't heard of it having such problems.20:03
untakenstupidnichowever, anyone is free to do whatever they want, it is just advice and it doesn't benefit me in anyway.20:03
