gnarfacesadsnork: i assume a day or two is normal, but maybe #devuan-dev or #devuan-www?02:24
gnarfacesadsnork: failing that, ask golinux jaromil or fsmithred maybe to put you in contact with someone02:25
golinuxsadsnork: You need to talk to onefang02:26
golinuxUnfortunately he does not have access to respond to mirror emails and those who do are now invisible.  We've been trying to find a solution to that for several weeks but no progress02:28
golinuxBest to try on #devuan-dev to catch him.02:28
sadsnorkAwesome, thanks for the help gnarface and golinux :-)03:02
onefangsadsnork: I do have access to the mirrors@devuan.org email address, the problem is -03:28
onefangIn Australia most of the plants are evergreens.  A bit of rain, a bit of sunshine, they'll flower, they don't care about seasons.  Just had lots of rain, and now lots of sunshine.  So I got lots of hayfever.  Been feeling shin for the last couple of days.03:29
sadsnorkHey onefang... no problem.  Here in Canada I haven't seen most plants in four or five months. :-)03:31
sadsnorkI mostly  just wanted to make sure my message wasn't flagged as spam.  It wouldn't be the first time unfortunately.03:31
onefangI'm processing your email now.  Yay Canadian mirror!03:32
* sadsnork cheers!03:33
onefangHow often do you intend to update it?03:36
onefangI highly recommend every 30 minutes.03:36
sadsnorkI can do that. :-)03:37
golinuxAh, good that you two hooked up.  onfang, I thought you didn't have admin access to the list . . .03:42
golinuxonefang really . . .03:42
onefangmirrors@devuan.org is a simple email address, not the list, I have access to it.  I have read and write access to the mirrors email list, but not admin access.03:44
onefangsadsnork: You should be able to start rsyncing your mirror now, and it's been added to the list.03:44
onefangThis is Australia, even the plants try to kill you.  lol03:50
XenguyNot to mention the snakes03:51
onefangEverything except some of the sheep.03:51
sadsnorkHey onefang, I am resolving pkgmaster.devuan.org to 54.36.142.183, getting a fingerprint of SHA256:p0dv9nosuWPyE7F8gpJPZC0VGnv2J015TYzhrr4c9Rk, and receiving a "Permission denied (publickey)" message.03:57
sadsnorkDo the IP and fingerprint look correct?03:57
onefangYou are using your publickey?03:58
onefangWas there a step I skipped?  lol03:58
sadsnorkHmmm, is it under the username vesta?  I am following https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan_mirror_walkthrough.txt03:59
sadsnorkand the rsync described there is "rsync -avz vesta@pkgmaster.devuan.org:~/devuan ./"04:00
onefangTry now, there was a step I skipped.04:00
onefangJust got up, haven't had brekky yet.04:00
sadsnorkDang, still getting perm denied pubkey err.04:01
* sadsnork sends onefang some extra strong coffee :-)04:02
onefangDoh!  TWO steps I skipped.  lol04:04
onefangTry now.04:05
sadsnorkBAM!04:06
sadsnorkThere it goes. :-)04:06
onefangYay!04:06
onefangActually there's a third step I'm missing, but that's coz I don't have admin access to the devuan-mirrors@lists.dyne.org mailing list, which is to add you to it.  Still working on sorting that out.04:07
onefangBrekky time.04:07
sadsnorkSince it is 11pm here [and because I shouldn't keep you from your morning coffee] my plan is to go to bed and tomorrow I'll use some local network "foolery" to test doing an install off my new server directly.04:07
sadsnorkThen assuming it goes well I'll let you know and we can move on to whatever the next step is.  how's that sound eh?04:08
onefangOr you can just set your sources to use your mirror directly.04:08
onefangSince you are now in the mirror list, apt-panopticon will be checking on your mirror to.04:08
sadsnorkyes, I was thinking of doing that as well as poisoning my local DNS just to ensure I also got the deb.devuan.org virtal host sewtup properly too.04:08
sadsnorkOy!  I misspelled virtual AND setup.  Can you tell I need sleep?04:09
onefangYou wont be on the DNS-RR for deb.devuan.org.04:09
sadsnorkDo you want me to cron the rsync right now?  Or can that wait for tomorrow?04:10
onefangCron it now.04:10
sadsnorkWill do.04:10
sadsnorkHmmm, looks like the initial rsync is going to take a while... certainly longer than the half hour interval between cron'ed attempts.  I kind of don't want to let the automated syncs run just yet if it is okay.04:19
onefangNo worries.04:27
sadsnorkAwesome... thanks for the help, it's time for me to crash.04:38
slacko64_27336Having trouble setting the correct date and time in Refracta which is based in Devuan10:49
crashoverrideusually, when you have a userland problem with a distro, you go to #distro10:50
crashoverridei.e. if I have a problem with devuan, I come here, I don't go on #debian.10:51
pandakekok9crashoverride: actually, according to https://www.refracta.org/resources.html, Refracta support also belongs here10:52
slacko64_27336there's no refracta channel, that's why I came here10:52
crashoverrideniiiice.10:53
crashoverrideWait lemme do a broken fork of devuan with promises I can't keep and defer my support here.10:53
slacko64_27336when setting time zone to new york, it says 3pm wednesday instead of 3 am Thursday10:56
crashoverridedo you have an NTP client running?10:56
crashoverridealso have you set your timezone properly?10:56
onefangRefracta is made by fsmithred, who is also one of the Devuan developers, and is active in helping out in this channel.10:57
crashoverrideonefang: now I wonder why it exists.10:59
crashoverrideI'll check it out, please disregard what I said above regarding the irrelevance of its support here.11:00
slacko64_27336I'm running Refracta in virtualbox btw11:00
crashoverridefsmithred: Ok one question, why would you make refracta as a distro instead of a meta-package for devuan?11:01
crashoverrideseems a little bit overkill...11:01
crashoverride"Hey guys, I needed to go down the stairs so I built a jetpack"11:01
crashoverrideslacko64_27336: does your VM have network?11:02
pandakekok9If I understand correctly, Refracta is like a lightweight, systemd-free alternative to Ubuntu. So if Ubuntu is to Debian, Refracta is to Devuan11:02
slacko64_27336no network yet11:03
onefangHave you told your VM that the "BIOS" is running in UTC time, but the host is running in local time, or the other way around?11:04
koollmancrashoverride: same as many other debian derivatives, really. Some people wanted a specific preconfigured setup and a few additional tools11:04
crashoverridekoollman: but I mean, what's wrong with `apt-get install preconfigured-setup-package`?11:04
koollmancrashoverride: more like adding another repo and then a few packages. But, yeah, I know. I'm just telling you why it exists, like many many other derivative distros :)11:05
slacko64_27336UTC was disabled in virtualbox settings. I tried enabling it but still same result11:05
koollmanI suppose mostly ease of use/setup11:05
fsmithredpandakekok9, that's not a good analogy. Ubuntu uses ubuntu repos, refracta uses devuan repos.11:05
fsmithredthere's no way you could do an "add-on" package to make refracta. It would need to be a "take-away" package, and it would take away the metapackages.11:06
fsmithredwhich you generally can't do, so I don't try to remove them. They aren't there to start with.11:06
fsmithredThere used to be a refracta forum but the service got bought by millenials who destroyed it.11:07
fsmithredtapatalk11:07
slacko64_27336Refracta version is 8.3 xfce btw11:07
crashoverridetapatalk?! :D11:07
fsmithredcrapatalk11:07
fsmithredntpdate-debian11:07
crashoverridenow that does not help... what do you mean? :P11:07
fsmithredto set your time11:08
fsmithredslacko64_27336, refracta is on 10 same as debian11:08
fsmithredrefracta versions have always tracked debian versions since squeeze and sort of since lenny11:08
crashoverridefsmithred: do you mean the refracta forum was on tapatalk and that got bought off?11:08
pandakekok9fsmithred: Yeah, it seems my analogy is off there. When I think of "newbie-friendly Linux" I always think of Ubuntu11:09
fsmithredrefracta forum was on freeforums.net and they got bought by tapatalk.11:09
crashoverrideah.11:09
crashoverridecrap11:09
crashoverridenow I get it.11:09
fsmithredit's still there, but I locked it so you can't post11:09
crashoverrideGotta love web pages that only have `javascript:void(0);` links...11:10
fsmithredbesides being painfully ugly, they had a button on the page to "contribute money to refracta" but the money would go to them.11:10
crashoverrideso accessible.11:10
crashoverrideOH WOW.11:10
crashoverrideThat is so despicable...11:10
fsmithredyeah11:10
fsmithredI would get gold points11:11
fsmithredpayer would get add-free visits to the stie11:11
crashoverrideis that meant as an insult?11:11
fsmithredsite11:11
fsmithredand if I got enough gold points, they'd let me have some cash11:11
crashoverride'cause that's what I would do if I wanted to aggravate someone I hate.11:11
crashoverride"hey thanks for your hard work, it brings many moneys in. Now if you're a nice little boy and suck my **** I'll let you have the crumbs."11:12
fsmithredwhen you change the time, sometimes it doesn't change in the panel clock right away11:12
crashoverrideI mean, internet is great; but some people could really stand being reminded of the feels of a good nose-pushing rapid fist movement.11:12
fsmithredI'm with you on that11:13
fsmithreddpkg-reconfigure tzdata11:13
fsmithredntpdate-debian11:13
fsmithredthose should be enough to fix it11:13
crashoverrideI was gonna detail the manual steps for doing this, eventually; but I'm glad there are tools for that ;P11:14
onefangslacko64_27336: no network yet11:14
crashoverridesee, that's why people with actual proefficiency in the specific software at hand are better at helping ;D11:14
onefangSo ntpdate wont help.11:14
fsmithredwhy not?11:15
fsmithredoh, for you11:15
crashoverridealso slacko64_27336 left.11:15
crashoverridelike, 5 minutes ago.11:16
onefangCoz the VM with the problem has no network to talk to NTP servers.  slacko said that, and yes, just noticed they left.11:16
crashoverride< crashoverride> slacko64_27336: does your VM have network?11:16
crashoverride< slacko64_27336> no network yet11:16
fsmithredhow many people here are having trouble setting the time?11:17
crashoverridejust that one afaict11:17
crashoverrideso, now, zero.11:17
fsmithrednot you?11:17
onefangJust slacko.11:17
crashoverrideno, I was initially helping.11:17
fsmithredoh11:17
crashoverridethen we started helping each other :D11:17
crashoverrideand they left.11:17
crashoverride#normaldayonIRC11:17
fsmithredI'm still on my first coffee of the day, so this is all happening too fast11:17
onefangcrashoverride getting snarky about Refracta didn't help.  lol11:18
crashoverrideI'm only having one a day, 5hrs of sleep a night with a baby on the way in the next two weeks is definitely not enough.11:18
djphyou'll be up to 1 an hour in 2 weeks11:18
crashoverrideonefang: hey in my defense, I had no idea what it was and why it would be legitimate for it to send its support here.11:18
fsmithredso slacko is running refracta jessie.11:18
crashoverridedjph: don't try scaring me bruh :D11:19
fsmithred8.311:19
djphcrashoverride: wait, first gremlin?11:19
crashoverridefsmithred: noice. Not old 'nuf IMHO.11:19
crashoverridefsmithred: software is like fine wine, the older, the better.11:19
crashoverridedjph: very first.11:19
djphcrashoverride: good times.  Yeah, you'll be all over coffee / tea / favored hot drink11:20
fsmithredI should probably upload my last jessie build that has the archiive mirror in sources.list11:20
crashoverridedjph: I actually have a hand-press for espresso.11:20
djph... i need to learn how to spin dev1 for rpi11:20
crashoverridedjph: takes a shitload of time to make ONE espresso, but you get full control over it.11:20
fsmithredarm-sdk11:20
crashoverrideit's to espresso what assembly is to programming.11:20
djphfsmithred: yeah ... which I also have to learn ...11:21
* onefang thinks coffee talk is #devuan-offtopic talk.11:21
crashoverridesorry onefang, and yes.11:21
crashoverrideonefang: tbh, baby talk too11:21
onefangAlso true.11:21
crashoverridebut djph isn't there so we'll go on another chan ;)11:21
HalfMindzzHi17:40
nemog'day17:50
user___.18:53
user___Did you see the ronr cloud fiasco today? https://www.theregister.com/2021/03/25/ruby_rails_code/ -- this is not directly devuan related but, is there a mitigation plan in place when "upstream" debian or it's upstream pulls some key package or changes it's license overnight?18:54
user___executive summary: "This had the unfortunate effect of breaking the popular web development framework Ruby on Rails, which includes mimemagic 0.3.5 as a dependency. It also affects 172 other packages, which between them touch 577,148 different software repositories.'18:55
user___That must be a record number of repos rendered unbuildable with one command.18:55
user___As usual, the comments to the article are highly entertaining and scary at the same time.18:58
user___well, ruby-mimemagic package is in devuan19:02
nemo_So. with the new openssl thing19:07
nemowhat's the lag on the devuan repos?19:07
nemoI assume it's not as soon as debian pushes19:08
user___openssl has a new hole?19:08
nemothey warned us it was coming a few weeks ago19:08
nemohttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2658047719:08
user___Is there a one stop (ok, 5 stop) method to get rid of all the language translation files on the system? Some packages install a lot of messages etc in 3 dozen languages, that is pollution.19:52
user___nemo: I see a new (to me) openssl package for beowulf. May be older to you.19:54
user___Setting up openssl (1.1.1d-0+deb10u5)19:54
user___Which may be obsolete? I see references to 1.1.1k ?19:55
user___So erm Beowulf is "a little" out of date? Harrumph? Backports? golinux ? fsmithred ?19:57
user___I have beowulf-security and beowulf-backports in the sources.list19:58
user___What gives?19:58
user___I'll wait for an answer.19:58
user___upstream seems to be stuck on d too, j is "unstable" ? https://launchpad.net/debian/+source/openssl19:59
user___I don't like the use of the term "unstable" around a security related tool.20:00
user___so Buster is on 1.1.1d-0+deb10u4 and I just got u5 installed, see above20:00
user___Something is strange here.20:01
user___Now I am really confused.20:01
user___Ah >>nemo re your link, apparently this bug being mitigated now was introduced in 1.1.1h and does not affect 1.1.1d -- I hope I am right.20:03
user___Also, the bug only affects the server side of openssl tls apparently, no concern for clients.20:04
fsmithreduser___, u4 is in beowulf main, u5 is in beowulf-security20:09
user___Well I upgraded to u5 just now, there is no further upgrade in the channel for now.20:10
user___Is openssh also upgraded as a result?20:10
fsmithredI wouldn't think so. They are separate.20:10
fsmithredold is not necessarily out of date. A lot of fixes get backported.20:12
fsmithredplus...20:12
fsmithredit's debian, so old software is a feature.20:12
user___fsmithred: when openssl is upgraded, will all apps linked against it's libs have to be upgraded?20:14
user___Seems like not, but sometimes yes. I assume it depends on the kind of bug fixed.20:15
fsmithreduser___, that varies.20:15
chr[]user___: at least u must restart applications using libssl20:27
user___Yes but I am not running any servers with ssl use20:27
user___Browsers etc get restarted daily at least20:27
user___irssi too :)20:27
user___In fact, I'll do it now20:28
user___I suppose apt runs ldconfig -a by itself (/me has these things baked into his DNA since the 1990s when running Slackware)20:29
