Guest89 | I had sent a bugreport to the dng@lists.dyne.org about my ALSA/and /var permissions. I do not see if this email was sent to the list | 04:28 |
---|---|---|
Guest89 | The subject line was "[Devuan 3] [Chmod] [Lynis] Bonked default permissions" | 04:36 |
CAPTCHA_REQUIRED | Any devuan users use FreeBSD as well? | 04:36 |
golinux | Guest89: AKA se7en . . . I have not released it because it's not really a devuan issue. It's self-inflicted. | 05:19 |
golinux | Let me have another look . . . | 05:22 |
golinux | Guest89: lynis is a merged Debian package so the bug report should to to Debian. | 05:25 |
golinux | lynis | 07:28 |
golinux | Oops . . . | 07:29 |
alv | @fsmithred Hi who did the devuan netinstall ?? and what did he used to make the iso ?? | 10:36 |
alv | :) | 10:36 |
rrq | the devuan netinstall, server and desktop isos are built from the installer-iso project (https://git.devuan.org/devuan.installer-iso.git) via "jenkins" following the Jenkinsfile script | 10:55 |
rrq | mostly my baby | 10:55 |
rrq | correction: https://git.devuan.org/devuan/installer-iso.git | 10:57 |
alv | @rrq did you mean https://git.devuan.org/devuan/installer-iso ??? | 15:01 |
james1138 | Good Morning. Technical question about Devuan and PAE. I did a Google search first and seen that PAE on Ubuntu & Debian supports up to 64 gb. I am just asking to be sure using Devuan before upgrading my laptop RAM beyond 8 gb if that is true?? | 15:26 |
DHE | PAE is for 32 bit CPUs only | 15:26 |
james1138 | I am using a Lenovo Thinkpad T500 laptop with Intel CPU | 15:28 |
james1138 | I am also running 32 bit by choice. | 15:28 |
fsmithred | james1138, we use debian kernels | 15:30 |
DHE | but just from a pure linux standpoint, why not a 64 bit kernel/OS? it looks like the CPU is of the Core 2 duo family which does support it | 15:31 |
james1138 | Ahh.... good. Thanx fsmithred! Just wanted that extra piece of mind before spend money. | 15:31 |
fsmithred | 99% of our packages come directly from debian unchanged | 15:32 |
james1138 | DHE - many of my favorite programs/applications do not have a 64 bit version. I would have to install ia32-libs / architecture i386 to run them. In that case - I would have one computer with in essence 2 systems - I gain nothing. But let's just skip the 32 bit vs 64 bit. | 15:44 |
gnarface | james1138: you gain a lot, actually, by running a 64-bit kernel, even on one of those 2GB core2duos. it's not like windows. | 17:26 |
gnarface | james1138: i'm speaking from personal experience | 17:26 |
gnarface | james1138: what you lose is about 400MB of disk space | 17:26 |
gnarface | james1138: (give or take, depending on how many extra 32-bit libs you need; they're not all bundled up together in one big package like they were in the "ia32-libs" days, either - multiarch has improved significantly) | 17:27 |
user___ | looks like the switch to a non chrome non mozilla browser becomes urgent https://www.theregister.com/2021/02/01/chrome_89_beta_brings_desktop/ | 20:20 |
user___ | vivaldi is still in the game. But on which side? | 20:20 |
MinceR | it's based on blink (chromium) and it's proprietary | 20:20 |
user___ | yes but it works well on devuan and other linuxes | 20:21 |
sgage | It works well on devuan and other linuxes? I didn't think that | 20:44 |
sgage | was the most important criterion. It's proprietary, for a start. | 20:44 |
sgage | And it's based on Chromium anyway. | 20:45 |
UsL | arkenfox + RFP and FPI is pretty good still | 21:00 |
UsL | and by pretty I mean still awesome. | 21:00 |
xinomilo | why is the switch to non-mozilla urgent? article doesn't say anything about mozilla/ff doing the same thing.. (?) | 21:07 |
xinomilo | +1 for arkefox, and vivaldi being proprietary crap :) | 21:07 |
gnarface | xinomilo: conflict of interest from the source of mozilla's funding, i assume | 21:29 |
gnarface | though really, i think we just need more forks of it | 21:30 |
gnarface | people forget it's already 3 forks removed from origin | 21:30 |
user___ | package tclspice is broken in beowulf. libspice.so.0 is not provided, only a symlink to it. | 21:45 |
user___ | xinomilo: because features coming into chrome drive the web apps and ff will become unusable rather soon on mainstream sites if not following up. | 21:45 |
user___ | Web Serial for example directly addresses a large segment of IoT and diy / arduino style projects which were traditionally linux based until recently. | 21:46 |
rrq | alv: with or without ".git" extension is ok; the actual repository directory is with a ".git" extensions but most access software, including the web gui, handles (or creates) the ambiguity just to allow for human sloppiness, perhaps. | 22:24 |
rrq | (duly illustrated by a spurious s :) | 22:25 |
mason | rrq: Postel's Law. We all rode right over that extra 's' without blinking. | 22:28 |
rrq | 'teresting. ta. | 22:33 |
MinceR | afaik the '.git' suffix is normally used to denote a bare repository | 22:35 |
MinceR | (probably because the contents of repo.git are roughly the same as the contents of repo/.git would be) | 22:35 |
