xinomilocan confirm this : https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=390110:53
xinomilotesting/chimaera repo is in error..10:53
fsmithredxinomilo, thanks. I passed along the word.11:42
fsmithredHow did the runit iso work out?11:42
xinomiloit booted just fine, no errors11:43
xinomiloqemu/kvm11:43
fsmithreddo you know runit enough to poke around in it?11:43
fsmithredI have no idea what I'm doing11:43
xinomilonot much, just basics11:43
fsmithredyou got any thoughts on whether a live-iso should have autologin on the console or not?11:43
xinomilowouldn't mind if it did, but using defaults (user/user, root/root) is enough for me11:45
xinomilowith some other distros you have to look up default logins each time :D11:45
fsmithredyeah, that's one of my pet peeves.11:45
fsmithredplease don't hide the default passwords11:45
xinomiloaa, one notice11:45
xinomilogrub install is at fault11:46
xinomiloafter installation, you have to run : apt -f install to finish completely11:46
fsmithred?"11:46
fsmithredwhat's missing?11:46
xinomilonot sure, but i'm guessing installer doesn't finish correctly in grub (?)11:47
fsmithredI didn't have to do that. It worked for me.11:47
xinomilorun apt update after booting in installed system and got this error about grub11:47
fsmithredif you did a bios install, you should have clicked on "Copy files"11:47
xinomiloi did11:47
fsmithredwhat was the error?11:48
xinomiloapt upgrade wouldn't proceed with upgrading a couple of other packages, apt would advise to run `apt -f install` and there grub would install correctly(?) this time11:49
fsmithredok, thanks. If you could send me the error log, it would help.11:49
fsmithredshould be in user's home11:50
xinomilowill do, but not right now... under heavy spam attack for the past days.. maybe other folks have noticed too...11:51
fsmithredgmail here. I don't see it.11:52
xinomilopostmasters should be busy atm....11:52
fsmithredok, later is fine.11:52
fsmithredthanks for testing11:52
xinomilonp :)11:53
fsmithredO11:53
fsmithredI'm trying another install now11:53
fsmithredxinomilo, did you use msdos or gpt partition table?12:13
xinomilomsdos12:13
fsmithredok, thanks.12:13
fsmithredyou put grub in the mbr or in a partition?12:18
xinomilombr12:22
xinomiloand chose vda12:22
fsmithredI just figured out what happened12:24
fsmithredgrub got updated in the repo and in the iso (grub-efi) but I didn't update the grub-pc debs that are in the iso (i.e. the files that got copied and installed during installation)12:25
xinomilothat was fast :) good to know it's sorted out..12:32
neppuHello there. So, I'm trying to get PulseAudio to work with OpenRC (yeah, I know, a weird combo, but I'm just so used to PA that I can't completely get away from Poettering bullshit). Here is my code:18:35
neppu#!/sbin/openrc-runcommand_user="unpriveleged-user"command="/usr/bin/pulseaudio"command_args="--start --use-pid-file=true"18:35
neppuYeah, whatever, no newlines. However, PulseAudio still runs under root for some reason. I've been trying to troubleshoot it for ages and just can't find a solution. Can someone help me out, please?18:36
masonneppu: Is the binary SUID?18:38
neppuDon't think so. I can still run /usr/bin/pulseaudio manually and it's launched as my unprivileged user, not under root.18:39
masonneppu: And are you specifying a user, not literally "unpriveleged-user"?18:39
neppuYeah, I do.18:40
masonneppu: For kicks, I'd want to duplicate the service with a shim shell script.18:40
masonLike, create a /usr/bin/fake.pulseaudio that has a something that sleeps five seconds in a loop or something, so you can distinguish between something OpenRC is doing and something PulseAudio is doing. Seems tough to pin this on PulseAudio.18:41
mason(And believe me, I'd be happy doing that normally.)18:42
neppuSo you want me to create a shell script that sleeps for a few seconds and then launches PA just to distinguish whatever OpenRC is doing from whatever PA is doing? Okay, I think it's worth a shot.18:43
masonneppu: No, don't want it to have anything to do with PulseAudio. I want it to sleep in a loop.18:43
neppuAh, alright.18:43
masonneppu: A next step, if you don't see the shell script running as root, might be to make the fake.pulseaudio capture environmental details and then launch PulseAudio, but start simpler.18:44
masonneppu: Even further into the future, if you don't see the shell as root but you do see PulseAudio ending up running at root, you can have fake.pulseaudio strace pulseaudio when it starts it.18:45
masonstrace is strace -ftttTvyyo /tmp/pulseaudio.strace.out -s 4096 /usr/bin/pulseaudio18:45
masonstrace -ftttTvyyo /tmp/pulseaudio.strace.out -s 4096 /usr/bin/pulseaudio18:46

neppuStill runs as root.18:46
neppucat /usr/bin/not-pulseaudio18:46
masonkk, so, you can ditch PulseAudio from consideration. It's purely an OpenRC issue.18:46
neppu#!/bin/bash18:46
neppusleep 50018:46
masonSaves barking up the wrong red herring.18:46
neppuYeah I literally don't see what's wrong, I thought 'command_user="my-user"' will handle it but it doesn't seem so.18:50
masonA quick read of the docs leads me to that same conclusion.18:53
masonHopefully someone more familiar with OpenRC will point out something obviously wrong. Sadly that's not me.18:54
neppuThanks for trying though, at least you helped me pinpoint the issue.18:55
masonSure. And if anything else occurs to me to try, I'll ping you.18:55
masonI'm boring and just stick with sysvinit here.18:55
alv_hi20:19
fsmithredhi20:19
fsmithredhow you doing?20:19

alv_ahh ok20:27
alv_thanks20:28
neppuHiya, does anyone know a thing or two about OpenRC here? Need help troubleshooting sth.20:28
fsmithredvery little20:28
fsmithredsay what the problem is and don't log out. Answer might come soon or later.20:28
golinuxHi alv!20:28
alv_Hi golinux !!!20:29
alv_:D20:29
golinuxHave missed you!20:29
neppuYeah, already stated the problem. Check the history if you're curious - http://maemo.cloud-7.de/irclogs/freenode/_devuan/latest.log.html.20:29
neppuAh, the trailing dot ruins it. http://maemo.cloud-7.de/irclogs/freenode/_devuan/latest.log.html20:29
golinuxThanks for getting the themes back on the pad upgrade.20:29
alv_@golinux i been very very busy on work20:29
golinuxLet's take to pm20:30
alv_@golinux i didn't upgrade the pad still !!!!20:30
fsmithredneppu, yeah, I did see that. I don't know a lot about pulseaudio, either.20:31
neppuNah, not a PA issue.20:31
masonneppu: Might be worth asking on dng@ - might be more folks there who use OpenRC.20:31
neppuNot a big fan of mailing lists...20:32
alv_@fsmithred it's finished the uploading ?21:49
fsmithredoh yes21:49
alv_stil the r10 ?21:50

alv_:D21:50
alv_i'll get it down21:50
alv_it's a desktop or a server ????21:51
fsmithredalv_, it's a desktop. Regular refracta beowulf xfce amd64 with runit instead of sysvinit21:58
crashoverridehey there22:11
crashoverrideso I just setup devuan on a astonishingly fucking bad acer22:12
crashoverrideand that's for an acer22:12
crashoverridethere is NO way to make the touchpad work22:12
crashoverridethe BIOS-looking UEFI in half englichinese has two options for the touchpad mode22:13
crashoverrideBasic and Advanced22:13
crashoverridewhich should I use to get the slightliest chance of ever have a working touchpad?22:14
crashoverridenever mind, the touchpad is deactivated by default22:21
crashoverrideit gets activated via a keyboard shortcut.22:21
crashoverridefuck acer.22:21
clortmost usb mice should work with devuan crashoverride22:30
HumanG33kcrashoverride, pretty sure there is an option somewhere in gnu/linux or grub to activate it.22:52
HumanG33kat startup i mear22:52
HumanG33k*mean22:52
