phillipsjkIf I try to install rocm on devuan (Beowulf, so may need backports or something), am I wasting my time?01:22
phillipsjkI am thinking of installing Ubuntu LTS on a USB stick anyway since I am using the poorly tested VEGA 10 on PCIe 2.0 (they really want you to use PCIe 3.0).01:25
phillipsjkSince it is open source, I wonder if I can in theory compile it for the current kernel in devuan.01:40
fsmithredrocm?01:47
fsmithredAMD ROCm System Management Interface ?01:48
fsmithredrocm-smi and rocminfo are in debian experimental01:50
fsmithredif they don't need systemd, they should work the same in devuan01:50
fsmithredphillipsjk, ^^^01:51
systemdletefsmithred:  Thank you for alerting me to that -- I did not even think of that.  I will keep that in my hat for the future.  However, in this case, the partitions are not encrypted.02:52
systemdleteI wish that os-prober had a tracing or debugging option so I could see what it is trying and maybe get a sense of what is going wrong.02:52
gnarfacegiant memory leak suspected in the latest ceres mesa, just warning everyone02:54
gnarface(sorry if i'm a month late)02:54
systemdletehmmm.   giant memory leak in mesa... does firefox, by and by, use mesa?   Does mate use mesa?04:16
systemdleteuse = ultimately, call04:16
brusystemdlete: Firefox does undirectly use files from the libglx-mesa0, libgl1-mesa-dri packages and simillars, as it depends directly on libavcodec58. Now I'm starting to feel the fear04:23
phillipsjkThanks for the hint fsmithred.04:29
bruUpdate: even Xorg depends directly on Mesa... Oh dear04:30
DashiePieI mean, you need something to render your screen don't you? and Mesa is a driver04:35
DashiePiealso, wouldn't X equally depend on AMD's proprietary drivers, or Nvidia's for that matter?04:36
DashiePieI guess I'm coming from the perspective of someone who uses a gui, but still04:38
gnarfaceDashiePie: AMD doesn't do that anymore on linux; everyone but NVidia is actually using mesa now04:44
DashiePieI think you misunderstood me? I was basically saying "well, it's a driver, so why wouldn't X depend on it for graphical things?"04:46
gnarfaceoh04:47
gnarfacesorry yes, i guess i misunderstood your statement04:47
gnarfacealthough i was using the open source driver fwiw (with the proprietary firmware, but it's distinct from their amdgpu-pro driver which is fully closed-source)04:48
DashiePiemy comments were in response to bru's04:49
phillipsjkThis looks like the starting point for compiling rocm: https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm/issues/52007:13
phillipsjkApparenrtly a kernel compile is required. I should probably try that first (it has been about 2 decades since I did that).07:14
phillipsjkkernel compile may be worth it since my L2 caches are only 512kB.07:16
chomwittHappy new year.08:00
linearainhello, how could i migrate from buster to beowulf on a machine without internet?08:46

xinomiloall tor HSv3 are/were down09:46
KREYRENhow so o.o09:46
xinomilooops sorry, repo is v2 onion, should work09:48
xinomilonevermind09:48
* KREYREN is even more confused09:49
xinomiloprobably something's wrong with repo/tor09:50
xinomiloalso noticed that ceres is not updating for the last couple of days..09:51
chomwitti upgraded to beowulf and i 'll install runit .  apache and sshd would be ok?10:02
chomwitthappy new year!!10:04
chomwitti forgot. sorry10:04
chomwitthttp://smarden.org/runit/replaceinit.html   do i have to follow those instructions or installation script will cover that?10:06
chomwittbad choice... i am logged out.11:02
xinomilocheck this also : https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=362811:05
chomwitti've checked.11:06
chomwittprppably sshd was messed11:06
chomwittdont worry .. not a production server. just a vps test server11:11
chomwittbut still it hurts a little..11:11
chomwitthetzner removed the devuan iso option11:33
chomwitti have to change provider again....11:34
Jorilchomwitt: that's strange, I've asked to add it just less than two months ago11:37
xinomilosame here, but 18months ago :)11:38
Jorilchomwitt: anyway, if you send a support request they usually answer very quickly11:38
xinomilono such option last time i checked11:38
chomwittit was there a year or two ago when i installed it first time11:38
xinomilothey replied it was not popular at the time11:38
JorilI can still see "devuan_beowulf_3.0.0_amd64-netinstall.iso" under "ISO images" on my account11:39
chomwitti cant see it in my account11:40
JorilIt looks like some images are tied to one's account then, not "global"11:41
chomwitti will email them then,11:42
JorilOr maybe they are local to the data center? I'm on fsn1-dc1411:42

Wonkairectory16:44
Wonkahmm. any idea what might cause this?16:44
masonWonka: It jumps out at me that you're seeing ${exec_prefix} there, unexpanded.16:48
Wonkamason: yep. Also, there is nothing that would match that path - udevadm lives in /bin/udevadm, and there's a symlink /sbin/udevadm -> /bin/udevadm16:50
Wonkathe udevd binary does not contain "exec_prefix" at all16:54
Wonkaneither does the config16:55
masongrep -r exec_prefix /etc16:58
masonas a start16:58
masonmight be in /usr somewhere too16:58
fsmithredmight it just be in the source code?17:00

masonThat looks like it. Wonka: You should be able to just modify that file and see if it helps, and maybe file a bug.17:11
Wonkaremoved the ${exec_prefix}, now no error message17:15
Wonkabug filed. No idea what to replace the @bindir@ in https://git.devuan.org/devuan/eudev/src/branch/master/rules/64-btrfs.rules.in#L14 with.17:32
phillipsjkLooks like the Ubuntu live DVD solved the slow drive seek issue causing boot time-outs by preloading everything with a "disk check".18:09
phillipsjkAt 2.6GB of data, it should fit in RAM.18:10
Ultimachey what's up19:49
Ultimacdoes anyone know how to install "latest" drivers for a 1080 gfx card? 8)20:08
UltimacI've seen this install script utility called sgfxi but I'm unsure if it works, also documentation kinda lacking20:09
fsmithredmaybe 'apt install firmware-amd-graphics'20:09
fsmithredjust a guess20:09
UltimacI use nvidia unfortunately20:09
fsmithreddoes it work at all?20:09
fsmithredwith nouveau20:09
debdogwell, there's https://www.nvidia.de/Download/index.aspx?lang=en but it's a bit tricky sometimes on system updates20:11
fsmithredwell, you just can't get to the desktop after a kernel upgrade. I remember those days.20:12
fsmithredUltimac, it might help if you give more information.20:12
fsmithredLike...20:12
UltimacYeah I wanted to do this but I'm not totally sure if kernel is compatible with latest driver and all.20:12
fsmithreddid you install devuan?20:12
Ultimacyeah I'm on it now20:12
debdogideally remove the driver beforhand upgrading the system20:12
fsmithredwhich version? what kernel?20:13
Ultimacuname -r20:13
Ultimac4.19.0-13-amd6420:13

UltimacYour card is supported by the default drivers and legacy driver series 390.20:13
UltimacIt is recommended to install the20:13
Ultimac    nvidia-driver20:13
nemoduuude20:13
fsmithredcareful about posting multiple lines20:13
nemonot to mention all of that was just one line 😝20:13
fsmithredyou may get bounced20:13
Ultimacsheeit20:14
fsmithreddepending on how sensitive the bot is feeling today20:14
nemoUltimac: I've gotten rid of my last nvidia at home, but I do know I had to move to chimaera for proper support of my AMD RX 560020:14
fsmithredenable contrib and non-free in sources.list20:14
UltimacI mean nvid-detect says it's compitable with default thats in the lib, guess ill try that and boot up some games20:15
nemohm. the 1080 was released 4 years ago though20:15
Ultimacyeah I've done it smith20:15
fsmithrednouveau is the default, free driver20:15
nemoUltimac: oh... also, nouveau worked on all my games except Witcher 2 - I had to install the closed source blob for that, which is a shame 'cause it was kinda flakey20:15
fsmithredI don't actually know which packages you should install now. It's different from when I last did it.20:15
fsmithredbut check the debian wiki20:16
fsmithredI use nouveau now, but my gaming is mostly limited to freecell. Movies work fine.20:16
Ultimachttps://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers20:16
UltimacCan I just follow this and expect the right result on devuan?20:17
fsmithredyes20:17
UltimacAlright sick20:17
UltimacThanks20:17
fsmithred99% of the packages in devuan are right from debian20:17
fsmithredwe only fork the ones that require systemd20:17
UltimacOkay great to know '=D20:17
fsmithreddon't use debian repos in sources.list20:18
fsmithredthe only additional thing you'll get is trouble20:18
UltimacAlright. I've been using devuan on my laptop now rock solid for months, really impressive. Tried manjaro on my desktop and it's auto update function fucked my entire system up irreparably to rootfs20:18
UltimacSo I just went with this because I know it's nice although it's not as brainless but whatever20:19
UltimacThanks lads, no problems20:39
e3d3Not a specific Devuan question but I remember someone here uses refracta. Is it true that refracta snapshot only work on the same pc that made the snapshot, and not on other pc's ? And will keeping the network configuration also store the WPA network key ?23:08
e3d3The snapshot I made only works on the orginal pc, but I added a folder to the iso (with isomaster) before burning, so I'm a little unsure about the result.23:09
e3d3I didn't include the network connection, and can't connect to WiFi with the snapshot.23:12
fsmithrede3d3, Refracta is made with refractasnapshot, and it works on many computers.23:41
fsmithredwhat wireless hardware do you have? You probably need to install firmware for it.23:42
fsmithredsomeone here not only uses Refracta but makes it. (That would be me.)23:43
fsmithredtell me what you added23:44
nemohttps://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1818423:45
nemohere we go again23:45
nemoI'd love to know why poettering insists on using rdrand23:45
nemooh. hm. this might be just due to small randoms23:46
nemoah. they don't want to block on pool seeding23:49
nemothey claim it can take "up to minutes"23:49
nemonever seen that. maybe if the random file was missing23:49
e3d3fsmithred: wow, I couldn't have asked on a better place. I'm totally dyslectic with network-stuff but know that I have Qualcomm Atheros Wireless. I added a folder with audio to the iso by using isomaster (GUI)23:49
nemoI'm confused as to why their internal UUIDs require this as opposed to a fixed seed23:50
nemoI mean, the UUIDs don't require cryptographic security surely23:50
fsmithrede3d3, was wireless working on the system that created the iso?23:51
e3d3fsmithred: The snapshot didn't boot at all on a HP laptop. On an Acer laptop boot end with black screen, that lightens just enough to recognize the shutdown window when I press the power button. Wifi was working on the orginal system, but I was not connected when I made the snapshot.23:52
e3d3fsmithred: Using the snapshot on the orginal laptop (Asus) worked. I saw wlan0 in the network manager but I couldn't turn the wifi on with the button in network manager, like I normally do before scanning the network.23:55
fsmithredwhich button? Connect?23:59
