ksx4systemdoes NUT with default config do something when locally connected UPS loses power?01:40
rwpksx4system, I might make assumptions based upon what apcupsd does when the connected UPS loses power.  apcupsd monitors the time remaining of battery and shutdown when it crosses $threshold (5 minutes remaining).02:42
ksx4systemrwp: I guess no NUT for me anyway, driver for my device is broken04:33
ksx4systemapcupsd was much nicer to use but of course only supports APC products04:34
ham5urgI get the same problem (using fwupdmgr) as described here https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/issues/391 . The solution stated there, is to wait some minutes due to server mirroring delays and try again. But I waited already some time and nothing happens. Have you encountered same problem?13:13
gnarfacedo the older versions work for you or are they all failing this way?13:21
gnarfacei wonder if it is a ipv4/ipv6 issue?13:21
ham5urgcould be, I try ip613:23
Guest1167Hi! I just installed the ProtonVPN package, and there is some error when I am trying to run it.15:42
Guest1167https://pastebin.com/hp89y5rj15:44
Guest1167I pasted the error messages here.15:44
Jorilit looks like it needs systemd15:45
Guest1167So it can't be bypassed on Devuan?15:46
JorilJudging from https://github.com/ProtonVPN/linux-cli/issues/34 "It's explicitly stated on our supported pages that systemd is a requirment"15:48
JorilAlso "the current implementation heavily relies on systemd to communicate with the OS"15:48
Guest1164Did somebody here used Gadmin to connect with OpenVPN? I imported an .ovpn configuration file, but there is still an error: "Missing certificate or key setting."16:34
* blockhead is runnning devuan chimarea amd64: is it safe to remove avahi-daemon?20:34
rwpblockhead, If you try it what does it say it also wants to remove?20:54
rwpThat's how I tell if something is "safe" or not.  Try it and decide based upon what else is removed too.20:55
rwpIn the case of a default chimaera install with xfce it looks safe to remove to me.  Only telepathy-salut is also removed.  Looks okay to me.20:56
UsLthen protonvpn should be a banned package since it requires systemd then?22:45
UsLalso, why have their own package for it when there is openvpn or wireguard.. Weird. Also, python..22:46
blockheadnwp: i mean remove as in setting the daemon to not run.  i had not considered removing the package.  thank you22:50
systemdletetrying to decide on smb vs nfs (or something else?).  I know how to install, config, and admin these, but I wonder if anyone here has an opinion/preference/admonition/free beer22:56

websitedoes STANDARD BASE not sound familiar to you23:25
A_DragonHave you considered that insulting the people trying to help you is not likely to get the fix you're looking for?23:25
klinewebsite, this seems like a bit of an overreaction. you dont have to be so mad about a bug that im sure will be fixed soon23:25
ksx4systemA_Dragon, good point23:26
klinewebsite, how about we just chill for a bit and see what happens. have you posted to the mailing list (politely?)23:26
websitekline: their mailing list is unusable23:30
websitekline: every free mailing provider is banned as spam, no way to white list23:31
websitekline: so yes I've tried.23:31
klinewebsite, that sounds pretty frustrating23:31
websitekline: but how can they not know what LSB is?23:31
klineim sure they probably do and its broken by accident and will be fixed soon23:31
websiteisn't this a linux distro. When you make a new one you typically start with Linux Standard Base23:32
klinemaybe im wrong, but im not sure what outcome you're aiming for23:32
websitethen work out from there23:32
websitekline: to tell them lsb-desktop is broken23:32
websiteso they fix it23:32
websitethis channel is the only way I know how23:32
klineok, i think they probably know, now23:32
websitesince the mailinglist is so filtered23:32
klineand more arguing is just going to push it off the topic of peoples screens and distract from the issue, right?23:32
websitelsb is the last thing I've ever expected to be broken tho23:32
websitedo they even use their own distro?23:33
websiteor is this like freebsd where everyone uses OSX for real work?23:33
klinehow badly does a broken lsb package break your system?23:33
websitekline: generally no 3rd party linux software is usable23:33
klinemaybe theyre spending their time unfucking their own system before they can distribute the fix23:34
ksx4systemwebsite, afaik Devuan is self hosted eg. Devuan specific packages are compiled on Devuan powered systems23:34
website3rd party linux software targets the linux standard base because it's the "bare minimum" a linux distro is expected to have23:34
websiteanyone using linux seriously needs lsb to work to use actual software23:34
websiteengineering visualization etc23:34
websitewhich shows that no one ever tried to install anything serious on Devuan23:35
websitewhich suggests no one even tests devuan23:35
websitealso printer drivers and everything else rely on it :P23:35
klineyoure a devuan user, right?23:35
websiteon this one computer yes, debian on all others23:35
websitethis is a i386 install,23:36
websitebut has 4gb of ram :D23:36
website(good for i386)23:36
klinethats proper old school23:36
website4 1gb sticks23:36
klinei saw an amiga st400 the other day in a thrift shop23:36
ksx4systemwebsite, what version of Devuan you're running now? on 3.1 Beowulf neither lsb nor lsb-base depends on lsb-desktop afaics23:36
websitea proc right before the changeover to AMD 6423:36
klineerr, atari23:37
websitecat /etc/version23:37
websitecat: /etc/version: No such file or directory23:37
websitehmm different than old debian23:37
websitekline: get it23:37
ksx4systemcat /etc/sources.list | grep beowulf to check if you're on latest stable :P23:37
websitekline: people buy those for the sound chips23:37
klinewebsite, i was so so wanting to, but i wasnt able to - it was pouring with rain and i didnt have a car or anything23:38
websiteksx4system: ascii23:38
klinemaybe i should have had them keep it in the back for me23:38
klinethe sound is what, mos?23:38
websitekline: it's an internal analogue synth23:38
websiteon a chip23:38
websitelike the chips behringer is producing again23:39
klineoh nice23:39
ksx4systemwebsite, upgrade to beowulf is highly recommended unless you *really* need older software for some backwards compatibility (custom kernel too low for beofulf etc)23:39
websitethere are actually "synth boards" that take the chip if you yank it23:39
websiteksx4system: that will completely destroy this system most likely23:40
klineand i guess the originals are in high demand, not being produced anymore23:40
websitekline: the originals sound the best23:40
kline(but necessary to get authentic sound)23:40
klineyeah23:40
ksx4systemwebsite, had no issues upgrading my servers ascii -> beowulf23:40
websitekline: the chips are old so you get analoge distortion23:40
websiteksx4system: the kernel is custom patched to keep it working23:40
websitekline: as the sync circuits are not 100pct perfect23:41
websiteso you get phasing and other nice things for synth music23:41
websitebeating too (similar effect)23:41
websiteksx4system: I could --force install the printer pkg23:42
websitebut I wanted to give possibility of doing it the "right" way23:42
ksx4systemwebsite, unless it's some weird hardware (repurposed thin client or commercial grade firewall) you should be able to run regular kernel on i386 without issues23:42
websiteksx4system: the wifi card doesn't work without custom patched kernel23:43
ksx4systemwebsite, realtek chipset?23:43
websiteI believe so yes23:43
websitethat's what I recall23:43
websiteset it up 2 yrs ago23:43
websitethis is the first real problem I've had with devuan on this box23:43
websiteeverything else was fixed with recompiles etc23:44
ksx4systemwebsite, modern realtek wireless hardware is problematic everywhere ;)23:44
websiteand reprogramming apps etc23:44
websitelike there was this photo taking app: lightdesk23:44
websiteit didn't compile on i38623:44
websiteso it took me about a day23:44
websitebut I went into the build system and went through step by step, also the C code, and sorta ported it to i38623:45
websitenow it works fine23:45
websitealso fixed their bracketing code, which didn't work with actual nikon cameras which exist in the real world23:45
website(obviously they didn't test it in reality: they were sending the data way too fast, not waiting for the camera to beable to keep up etc)23:46
websitebut... epson eskpr2 wants lsb23:46
websiteand that should be a simple request to fufill23:46
websitekline: what type of synth music do you like to make?23:48
websitekline: i've been playing with the monophonic roland synth remake this year23:49
