ksx4systemweird question: anyone tried burning BluRay (data only) under Chimaera? what software did you use? did you succeed?00:38
gnarfacei haven't but i'm sure wodim will work00:40
gnarface(it used to be called cdrecord)00:40
AfdalSomeone explain to me how to grab a package off chimaera again without upgrading my whole system06:05
AfdalI can't deal with a whole system upgrade at the moment06:05
AfdalSeems silly to compile something right now when the version I want is already on chimaera repos06:06
AfdalGotta say: surprise alterations to my network settings are NOT cool I:<09:11
hyrcanushi Afdal09:12
hyrcanussome packages change /etc/network/interfaces, i think09:12
Afdalespecially when I can't remember the DNS servers I was using and didn't think to save them09:13
AfdalThat really rustles my jimjams09:13
Afdalwhere are network settings normally stored anyway09:14
Afdalmaybe I can go retrieve them from an older inactive distro09:14
Afdalparticularly wireless09:15
hyrcanusdifferent places09:16
hyrcanusit depends also on what gui frontend you prefer to use09:16
Afdalnetwork manager09:16
hyrcanusthat's made by kids with no respect for tradition09:16
AfdalI know -_-09:17
AfdalNetworking is a giant mess on loonix in general09:17
brocashelmwicd is being maintained again09:17
hyrcanus'mess' can also mean 'have choices'09:17
hyrcanus'ceni' from sidux is now in the repo too09:17
hyrcanusa respectful network manager09:17
Afdalactually I guess I'm using wicd right now09:18
AfdalI honestly can't even tell the two apart09:18
brocashelmthere's also connman (gtk/qt)09:18
brocashelmbut they are all a pain to work with09:19
AfdalWhere are DNS servers typically listed09:19
Afdaldoesn't appear to be /etc/resolv.conf09:20
hyrcanusthere used to be /etc/resolv.conf but then someone thought they were clever and made a resolvconf daemon09:20
hyrcanusyou can create /etc/resolv.conf and make it immutable with chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf09:21
AfdalI seriously don't have time for a wireless setup goose chase right now09:22
Afdalthis makes me really mad09:22
hyrcanusi used ceni to configure wifi and it worked for me11:16
hyrcanusbut dns resolution is seperate i think11:17
hyrcanusunless there's per-interface dns resolution11:17
ShorTienever heard of that11:19
hyrcanusready for the "driver's license for the internet"?14:16
golinux<brocashelm> [02:17:25] wicd is being maintained again16:59
golinuxIt is in process Nowhere near ready yet.17:00
golinuxThere is rrq's network configuration how-to: https://www.devuan.org/os/documentation/install-guides/chimaera/network-configuration17:01
brocashelmright, i meant the project itself is showing some activity again (however little)17:09
golinuxWas ambiguous17:09
retak_1thhello21:44
retak_1thapt-file search ngerman.sty does not find the file on current devuan. but it does so on debian bullseye. the web interface pakte search also says the file is in the pakage texlive-lang-german21:44
retak_1thsooo. who to blame at?21:45
hyrcanusdoes devuan's texlive-lang-german have the file?21:47
hyrcanuswould you like me to help du check?21:48
retak_1thno. thats because im here ^^21:48
retak_1thsure21:48
hyrcanusit is in ./usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/german/ngerman.sty21:50
hyrcanusin texlive-lang-german_2021.20210921-1_all.deb21:50
hyrcanusso for some reason the apt-file database doesn't see ngerman.sty21:50
hyrcanusi perform apt-file update21:51
hyrcanusto be sure21:51
retak_1thah the file in there after installing the pakage. yes. I missunderstood you question.21:51
hyrcanusmy apt-file search also did not see ngerman.sty21:52
retak_1thits not the only missing file. xkeyval.sty ecrm1095.mf for example21:52
retak_1th xkeyval.sty is from texlive-latex-recommended21:53
hyrcanusafter apt-file update i also do not find the file with a search21:54
hyrcanusit looks like the texlive-lang-german package is from debian21:55
hyrcanusFilename: pool/DEBIAN/main/t/texlive-lang/texlive-lang-german_2021.20210921-1_all.deb21:55
hyrcanusand the apt-file also?21:55
hyrcanusFilename: pool/DEBIAN/main/a/apt-file/apt-file_3.2.2_all.deb21:55
retak_1thI poke a litte bit. apt-file use a cache file /var/lib/apt/lists/deb.devuan.org_merged_dists_chimaera_main_Contents-amd64.lz4 which does not contain the missing files.21:59
retak_1thbut no idea how these file is generated21:59
hyrcanusit is mysterious - sorry i dont know what is wrong21:59
retak_1thany idea who to talk about? the maintainer of apt-file points to the debian mailing list. but its not a debian problem. thats why Im installed debian bullseye today and checked it22:01
Tenkawaretak_1th: apt-file is just a wrapper program that pulls in indexes based on your sources entries22:02
Tenkawait builds a database of the contents of archives based on the listings it finds22:03
hyrcanus^ knower-of-things!22:03
TenkawaI'm updating my chimaera system right now to try to recreate your scenario22:04
retak_1ththx :)22:04
hyrcanusstill don't understand why i get no results for that file though22:04
Tenkawa(I didn't have a x86 one handy so I had to build a vm real quick)22:04
hyrcanusoh i am on aarch64 if it makes a difference22:05
hyrcanusapt-get downloaded the file and dpkg -X file.deb .22:05
retak_1thVMs are really helpful in this situation22:05
Tenkawahyrcanus: yeah mine are all arm too22:05
TenkawaI just got the laptop booted up :)22:06
retak_1thlets see if apt-file has any debug output which I can work with22:06
Tenkawait shows up fine on my debian machine.. oh wait22:07
TenkawaI dont need an os22:07
TenkawaI can just debootstrap it22:07
Tenkawathat will give me enough to test with22:07
DPAIt is contained in http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged/dists/chimaera/main/Contents-all.gz22:08
TenkawaDPA: ok so you can see i t22:08
Tenkawaer it22:08
Tenkawagood thanks22:09
Tenkawausr/share/bug/texlive-lang-german/control tex/texlive-lang-german22:11
DPAIt's in the repo, but I don't see it with apt-file either. But I'm using a cron-apt mirror rather than the regular repos which doesn't have it, so I can't tell if that's my issue or not.22:11
TenkawaDPA: thats what I'm going to test22:11
TenkawaI'm wondering if its getting filtered out22:12
* retak_1th hilft bugs in linux systemen fixen22:16
retak_1thwrong window :D22:16
Tenkawamy download is almost done (slow here in the states)22:20
retak_1thI did a 3TB backup with 1MB/s the last weeks. I can wait ;)22:21
Tenkawaouchie22:21
Tenkawaok about to run the test (prepping the system now)22:33
retak_1th:)22:37
Tenkawainteresting..22:38
TenkawaI think I see why it may not be working22:38
Tenkawarunning a test now22:39
TenkawaIts possible its not handling multiarch debs22:39
Tenkawa(apt-file that is)22:40
retak_1thhm22:40
DPAWith strace, I do see it look for content_all files. I don't see anything downloading them, though.22:41
Tenkawait has a trigger config that looks up metadata and one of the things that one has that "could" potentially be throwing it off is that its not just one arch22:41
TenkawaDPA: check out /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50apt-file.conf22:41
TenkawaI think that "might be missing" this part of the dpkg entry22:42
TenkawaSource: texlive-lang22:42
TenkawaMulti-Arch: foreign22:42
Tenkawasee how it subs in the system arch22:43
Tenkawaso there would I think need to be a Contents-foreign.gz for apt-file to get an index file22:45
Tenkawaand since there's not one on the site...22:45
Tenkawamind you I need another pkg with this same scenario to test that theory on22:45
retak_1thanything I can do?22:46
Tenkawaretak_1th: not sure.. let me try one more test... most of the time if this is what I think they would use Architecture: All...22:48
retak_1thok22:49
Tenkawayeah not sure.. but something's definitely confused22:54
Tenkawaand I'm definitely going to be looking at it Monday if they haven't fixed it yet22:54
Tenkawa(I have to be away all day tomorrow)22:55
retak_1thIm scared to look at the apt-file source code. Its sure 90er stuff ^^22:55
retak_1thnice :)22:55
Tenkawagood catch22:55
* Tenkawa likes 90's code22:55
* Tenkawa is an old geek22:55
Tenkawalol22:55
retak_1thbut debian apt-file is the same as devuans on, or? so I guess its more likley a config error then a programm error22:56
Tenkawalet me check that.. just a sec with the pkg spec22:57
TenkawaI can do a quick compare on that one section22:57
retak_1thI can also install beowulf and ascii in a vm to test it there22:57
Tenkawayeah deb/dev apt-file look similar22:59
TenkawaI'll bbialw.. need go to afk for a while23:00
retak_1thok23:01
Tenkawalet me know if you make any discoveries while I'm away.. I'll be idling23:01
retak_1ththe installation with qemu, even with kvm, is really, really slooooooooooooooooooooooooooow23:55
