Xenguyunclouded, The Oracle Says:  "A nice dinner at her favorite restaurant, and Chimeara installed on her PC when she returns home"00:16
XenguyChimaera even00:16
uncloudedXenguy: OMG you are right about the good questions, thank you so much!00:48
Xenguyunclouded, What did you expect, your question was not a good one  = )01:29
golinux<Xenguy> .oO( good questions get better answers ... )01:38
golinuxThe one about his GF was01:49
adhocgood questions takes time and practice01:49
adhocif teaching high school and uni kids has taught me anything, better questions come with better language comprehension and domain knowledge01:50
adhoc(and interest)01:50
XenguyFascinating, we are now wandering OT, and the whole thread seems to be starting to lurch in a drunken fashion...01:53
XenguyThe original statement up-buffer that prompted this strange chemical reaction was:  "midi on envy1712 does not work, need help"01:53
XenguyKruppt, You're just in time!01:54
jason1235X11 is dead... really. it looks like. devuan will maintain X in future? Ex: archlinux does not offer X11 games, like xdemineur, xsol, xbomb,... and so do Ubuntu and co.09:24
schillingklausthere are enough terminal games, so no need for others09:26
chozorhoX11 is not dead yet-!!09:27
diegsexpect x1209:28
diegswayland <3 redhat09:28
schillingklausbullseye preliminary package list still contains a lot of x11-based games09:28
chozorhobtw... dumb question but: if my game is built on SDL2, then it can still work on Wayland, right?09:30
chozorhoI guess I'll have to test it09:31
schillingklausxmahjjong, for example, is pure x11  and still available on bullseye09:34
schillingklausxsol also keeps on being available09:42
diegschozorho: I think so009:49
schillingklauschozorho disappeared too fast09:52
diegsyeah09:52
__userAny work going on to port wicd to python3?09:52
schillingklauswicd is dead09:58
jason1235chozorho: SDL 1.2 and SDL 2 are not compatible. this makes fun to use SDL. you can still use GL, that is even less compatible. But be patient with Wayland or X/Wayland it will be even worse. Welcome to Linux !16:10
schillingklausthere are still enough games which don't need sdl, qt, mesa, or gtk16:12
GyrosGeierbasically whoever uses GL should use GLut to open a window with whatever OS dependent mechanism is there16:33
GyrosGeierthat, or just copy the boilerplate code16:33
GyrosGeieronce you have a drawable target, GL is very much compatible and portable16:33
golinuxThis is not really a Devuan support issue.  Please take it to #devuan-offtopic16:34
golinuxAnd <jason1235> . . . please stop trying to stir the pot here.  Take it to OT16:34
hagbardToday i updated desktop-base (to 1.40) & dependencies (devuan testing). Now grub complains at boot about missing files from the deepsea-theme. And all icons in the xfce4 start menu are gone, regardless of which icon theme is set.19:26
hagbardWhat went wrong, and how do i fix those 2 things?19:27
ayaohelp needed concerning wine19:27
golinuxfsmithred: ^^^19:29
brocashelmayao: what's the problem you're experiencing?19:29
ayaoi try install winetricks but it's absent in repository19:29
ayaoi installed wine and wine3219:29
brocashelmwhich devuan are you using? beowulf or ascii?19:30
ayaodo i need create a second prefix for wine32?19:30
ayaoi have beowulf19:30
brocashelmwinetricks is absent in beowulf's repository? am i hearing you right?19:31
ayaoyes19:31
brocashelmso, sudo apt show winetricks yields no results?19:31
ayaoyes19:31
ayaoyou understand correctly - gives no results19:32
brocashelmwhat does your sources.list look like? i can see it here. you need to add contrib to your repo19:33
brocashelmfor example: deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ beowulf main contrib19:33
brocashelmand then run sudo apt update19:33
fsmithredhagbard, is the root filesystem encrypted?19:33
hagbardyes19:34
fsmithredthen the theme won't show. You have to copy the theme into /boot/grub/themes or something like that19:34
fsmithredI don't recall exactly19:34
ayaodeb http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf main19:34
ayaodeb http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf-updates main19:34
ayaodeb http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf-security main19:34
ayao#deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf-backports main19:34
ayao## source repositories19:34

fsmithred ayao stop19:35
ayao#deb-src http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf-backports main19:35
fsmithredbefore you get auto-booted19:35
brocashelmayao: as i said, add contrib next to main19:35
fsmithredfor posting too many lines19:35
ayaook19:35
hagbardah, ok. WIll just turn the theme off in /etc/default/grub19:35
brocashelmayao: next time, feel free to use pastebin or another similar paste site19:35
fsmithredpaste.debian.net19:35
brocashelmfor example: deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ beowulf main contrib19:35
brocashelm^ try that19:35
ayaoi wanted to send pm19:35
ayaobut don't know how19:35
fsmithredhagbard, yeah, that works, too but you'll be missing the beautiful colors19:36
brocashelmwinetricks is not on the main repo19:36
hagbardAny idea about the menu icons?19:36
fsmithredhagbard, I was reading about missing menu icons in new xfce, but I don't recall what the issue was. I was looking for something else.19:40
fsmithredhang on19:40
ayaocan you tell me how to create prefixes?19:41
ayaowine just installed wine and wine64 and created .wine\drive_c19:42
ayaois it 64bit prefix?19:42
hagbardI think the theme got added to /etc/default/grub by an update script. Maybe this shouldn't be done if it already contains GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y, or if there's a crypttab entry with "/".19:43
fsmithredthat's a good suggestion.19:44
fsmithredand we're currently working on a script that is the perfect place to put that test.19:45
brocashelmayao: open a terminal and run this (change username to your actual username): WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX="/home/username/.newprefix32/" winecfg19:45
brocashelmoh, already left...19:45
jemaduxwhy somone should someone ditch systemd ?21:18
jemadux* why somone should  ditch systemd ?21:27
sixwheeledbeasttry on #debainfork jemadux21:31
sadsnorkjemadux, there are people who believe systemd is too big, does too may things, has various security problems, and is being pushed in to GNU/Linux by corporate interests.  The Devuan site has some info on non-systemd resources here.  https://www.devuan.org/os/init-freedom  And some people like the description of systemd here.  http://suckless.org/sucks/systemd/21:31
sadsnorkOne of my personal reasons for ditching systemd was because I wanted [better] control over my DNS settings.21:33
jemaduxsadsnork:  do you think openrc is better ?21:48
masonjemadux: #devuan-offtopic is the place for this. This right here is a support channel for Devuan.21:50
sadsnorkI think systemd is a pain in my ass, so I avoid it.  What is best for you is a personal preference... that's the "freedom" in init freedom.21:50
sadsnorkSorry, my bad... I should have replied elsewhere too.21:51
masonNo worries. Just saying.21:51
brocashelmjemadux: type /join #devuan-offtopic and you might get a response to your question(s) there22:03
brocashelmthis channel is for general support22:04
golinuxbrocashelm: Thanks for that22:06
