retak_1ththere is a difference between the text installer of beowulf and the graphic installer of ascii:00:12
retak_1thit took few sec to format it with beowulf. and one hour with ascii. its a 2GB qemu qcow image. strange things.00:14
brabocongrats on the new release!00:24
brabofeels like this one is a lot shorter on the ball than a while ago! my next install will be devuan again i think ;)00:25
retak_1thbrabo, :)00:26
brabowhere did jaromil go?00:28
braboretak_1th: ;)00:28
retak_1thTenkawa, it works on beowulf :)00:29
Tenkawaretak_1th: must be a chimaera bug.. might want to post a bug report00:30
Tenkawaor see if there already is one out there yet00:30
retak_1thdamn I should had check that bevor lol00:31
braboretak_1th: i personally keep forgetting to check bug reports for the issues i encounter :/00:32
retak_1thhehe but it was fun to poke into that apt stuff00:33
retak_1ththe last thing I'll do tonight is to compare the apt conf file00:33
bb|hcbTenkawa: both packages are not forked; did you verify it works in bullseye? In case it works in bullseye but does not work in chimaera, the problem is to identify the Devuan specific package to file the bug on...00:38
retak_1thno difference in 50apt-file.conf00:39
Tenkawaretak_1th: yeah I diffed that before I left earlier00:39
Tenkawaits more likely in apt itself00:40
retak_1thbb|hcb, i tested it in bullseye. it works there00:40
Tenkawabb|hcb: retak_1th is testing this mostly.. I was just running a unit test on chimaera earlier to help00:40
retak_1thI have two installation. one works. one not. find the difference should not be that hard. 50 years later XD00:41
rrqit missed the beginning: what is the "problem command" ?00:41
retak_1thapt-file serach ngerman.sty does not show pakage texlive-lang-german00:42
rrqok. on which dist?00:42
bb|hcbI see what the problem is:00:43
retak_1thon chimaera00:43
rrqhmm. it does for me(TM)00:43
Tenkawarrq: it didnt for me with a new install00:44
rrq.. you didn't leave out  "apt-file update" I suppose?00:45
bb|hcbOn bullseye: amd64 Contents (deb) [11.3 MB] while on chimaera: chimaera/main amd64 Contents (deb) [8241 kB]00:45
retak_1thhehe I did apt-file update ^^00:45
Tenkawaof course not.. normal pkgs worked fine.. this one instantaeously came back00:45
bb|hcbSo I suppose that Contents in the Devuan repo contains only the forked packages00:45
Tenkawabb|hcb: I thought it may have been the Multi-arch entries00:46
Tenkawanot being picked up by the variable in the apt-file conf file00:46
Tenkawabut didn't get to look into it much before I had to leave00:47
Tenkawabut if it works on the previous version its not that00:47
bb|hcbhttp://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged/dists/chimaera/main/ - the Contents files are here; the missing stuff is in Contents-all.gz:00:52
retak_1thon beowulf the Contents-amd64.gz is 32MB big00:52
bb|hcb$ zgrep ngerman.sty Contents-all.gz00:52
bb|hcbusr/share/perl5/LaTeXML/Package/ngerman.sty.ltxml tex/latexml00:52
bb|hcbusr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/german/ngerman.sty tex/texlive-lang-german00:52
retak_1thit make sense for me00:53
bb|hcbAnd in my initial apt-file update, it didn't fetch the Contents-all.gz at all00:53
retak_1thand now comes my stupid question: how to tell apt-file to fetch Contents-all.gz00:56
rrqapt-file update01:01
Tenkawarrq: nope01:01
Tenkawathat was already the first thing tried01:01
braboafaik it should though. or am i misremebering?01:02
brabo*misremembering01:02
rrqit uses your sources.list points and downloads all associated Contents files01:02
rrqthere was some change regarding texlive for bullseye01:02
Tenkawarrq: yes and we "aren't talking about bullseye"01:03
Tenkawachimeara is broke01:03
Tenkawabullseye works01:03
Tenkawabullseye was referenced in debugging01:03
brabook, but if that is broke, then there is a clue in that. it should fetch that file, why does it not? is the file there? is the url apt tries to fetch it from correct?01:04
Tenkawabrabo: it "hasn't been" failing to find a file01:04
brabothat provided the sources are correctly defined01:05
Tenkawathis is not what was happening01:05
Tenkawathese are comments from people who were not here01:05
braboTenkawa: ah my bad, i seemed to understand the Contents-all.gz did not download01:05
Tenkawano01:05
Tenkawaapt-file update succeeds01:05
Tenkawabut a search comes back with no hits for certain files01:06
brabothose 2 are not the same01:06
bb|hcbapt-file uses apt to get the Contents; after adding 50apt-file.conf apt will also fetch the contents01:06
bb|hcbSo please file the bug against apt, not apt-file...01:07
Tenkawayeah I think its apt as well01:07
Tenkawaits a indexing issue01:07
Tenkawagranted they both are the same team I think anyway01:08
Tenkawabut it will get directed better against "apt"01:09
Tenkawaafk.. need to find some food heheh01:09
bb|hcbapt-file search /usr/sbin/adduser exhibits the same bevah (not found)01:10
retak_1thbb|hcb, not but. how did you find that?01:13
Tenkawaback for a sec01:14
Tenkawayeah does it here too01:14
Tenkawachimaera's apt infra is a bit broke01:15
bb|hcbmost probably that is caused by some change in apt; a quick fix:01:18
bb|hcb    deb::Contents-deb  {01:18
bb|hcb        MetaKey "$(COMPONENT)/Contents-all";01:18
bb|hcb        ShortDescription "Contents-all";01:18
bb|hcb        Description "$(RELEASE)/$(COMPONENT) all Contents (deb)";01:18
bb|hcb        flatMetaKey "Contents-all";01:18
bb|hcb        flatDescription "$(RELEASE) Contents (deb)";01:19
bb|hcb        PDiffs "true";01:19
bb|hcb        KeepCompressed "true";01:19
bb|hcb    };01:19
bb|hcbadd this in 50apt-file.conf and it will work01:19
retak_1thill try it01:19
retak_1thhm not for me. add it. apt-file update. apt-file search. no results01:21
bb|hcbdid you add it after line 14?01:24
retak_1thno01:25
bb|hcb:)01:25
retak_1thnow it works :) yeah ^^01:26
retak_1ththank you all. thats great. learned alot today :)01:27
rrqbb|hcb: how come it pulls Contents-all from a bullseye soures.list point but not from a chimaera one?01:32
rrq.. all during the same update01:33
bb|hcbI couldn't see that - apt-get indextargets shows the Contents-all on bullseye; on chimaera without the above addition, it does not01:35
rrqthe InRelease files differ; chimeara does not have MD5SUM entries01:37
bb|hcbOn my bullseye I have armhf enabled for cross builds, it also fetched that, so I suppose the entries in 50apt-file.conf are expanded for each enabled arch and for some reason on chimaera "all" is missing from that list01:38
bb|hcbDoc is /usr/share/doc/apt/acquire-additional-files.md.gz01:43
bb|hcbFrom apt-doc package...01:43
rrqthough, before I just added a bullseye/main point, and it happily pulled Contents-all for that, but not for the chimaera/main point .... until after I added your conf snippet01:45
Tenkawabb|hcb: thanks for the help.. I also have some info to keep an eye out for now too. We have an image builder over on arm64 that we still get random non-builder questions about so this could come up01:46
Tenkawabb|hcb: this will need a permanent fix still correct in Devuan chimaera itself right?01:48
rrqaha.. bullseye/InRelease lists "all" as an architecture whereas chimaera/InRelease does not01:51
Tenkawaouch01:51
Tenkawathats not good01:52
rrqbullseye/InRelease also has the setting "No-Support-for-Architecture-all: Packages"01:53
bb|hcbTenkawa: Yep, it will need a permafix. But I have near zero knowldge about apt's internals, so can't find the problem fast... :(01:54
Tenkawabb|hcb: well at least now we know and it can be dealt with..01:55
Tenkawanot sure "who"01:55
Tenkawaheheh01:55
bb|hcbrrq: then how does it find packages from -all?01:55
rrqyou mean chimaera/apt ? .. I think there's some scottish magic involved ;)01:56
bb|hcbI am more inclined to believe that it is some hack in the original apt that applies to Packages only02:07
bb|hcbActually I checked - binary-amd64/Packages contains entries for both amd64 and all, so its most probably an omission in InRelease02:08
bb|hcb^^^ both for bullseye and chimaera02:09
rrqwho's your python .. amprolla is looking for a new friend :)02:10
bb|hcbTenkawa: Will you file a bug report against amprolla (e.g. Package: amprolla\nVersion: chimaera) describing all of the above?02:11
bb|hcbrrq: I like perl more than python :P02:11
bb|hcb... and both are just a little above −273.15 °C02:14
rrq:) seems like lib/release.py:125 is the culprit .. but there's a larger logic scope..02:17
bb|hcbBTW. beowulf also does not have all in InRelease and it was reported above that apt-file works there for files in arch:all packages02:19
bb|hcbAnd even if it was not already there, this will need some (more) scottish magic02:20
rrqindeed.02:21
bb|hcbBTW. buster also does not have 'all', so it came by default in older apts and now it is not there02:22
bb|hcb^^^ InRelease02:23
rrqmmm in fact buster:main/InRelease don't have "all" either02:23
rrqor doesn't02:24
bb|hcbrrq: it is lib/release.py: lines 69/70 but while easy to remove them we should evaluate all the consequences from this change02:34
Tenkawabb02:34
Tenkawabb|hcb: I'd really prefer if someone else could file the report.. I;m going to be afk a lot for a while02:35
bb|hcbkk, I will do02:36
Tenkawathanks02:36
TenkawaI won't be back after tonight consistently at least until Thursday02:37
Tenkawaspeaking of which I need to get ready so good luck and cheers all02:38
AfdalIs the rstudio package in chimaera gonna be fixed sometime soon03:49
AfdalMakes me very cranky to have it removed on distro upgrade only to not have a replacement03:49
Afdaloh wait I think it was never in a repository to begin with03:52
Afdalmeaning the dist-upgrade removed something I installed manually :/03:52
Afdalthere, reinstalled :)03:53
Afdaloof, spoke too soon03:53
Afdalnow everything broken03:53
Afdaloh you removed my R language packages too03:54
Afdalso bad03:54
AfdalUgh is anyone else experiencing missing icons in menus in LibreOffice after upgrading from Beowulf to Chimaera?04:06
gnarfacemake sure you have some icon themes installed04:06
gnarfaceit might be a bug but also maybe you can just install missing packages04:06
gnarfacetry tango-icon-theme or adwaita-icon-theme04:07
gnarfaceoh and you probably want hicolor-icon-theme04:07
Afdalalready have those installed but they don't show up as options in LibreOffice04:08
Afdal"Colibre" is the only icon style option04:09
_ds_Spotted something… odd when rebooting: filesystem checks appear not to be run. Looked like ENOENT re. fsck (or one of its FS-specific binaries). (Running chimaera, upgraded fron beowulf, jessie, …; init is runit.)04:22
_ds_I did notice that the root fs in particular was not checked.04:23
_ds_(I did a full manual check, having booted with init=/bin/sh. No fs problems.)04:25
_ds_There was also something about some mount points not existing (which makes some sense as those listed are below /home, which is itself a mount point).04:28
Guest59hi, can you suggest me some solution for something like virtual file? ...06:32
Guest59i need to give config file to polybar but I want to use generator script and don't want to write temporary file06:32
Guest59with i3status i use "echo generate-command.sh | i3bar -c /dev/stdin"06:33
Guest59but polybar probably checks if path is a file so it doesn't support character device type path06:33
Guest59probably shm may be a solution but it is not unix-wide compaqtible06:34
rrqI haven't tried it, but there's "scriptfs"06:43
gnarfacewikan: a couple other things come to mind... you could put the temp file in tmpfs to avoid drive wear, if that's the concern with creating a temp file.  or you could use a fifo maybe07:27
hyrcanusmaybe the linux concept of /tmp shouldn't have merged seperate functions (in-ram and on-drive) into one mountpoint07:46
hyrcanusbecause the constraints are different.  pretending they aren't causes problems.07:47
hyrcanuslies and errors lead to suffering07:47
user____How come package gcc-doc is "not available" in Buster/Beowulf?! https://packages.debian.org/buster/gcc-avr13:56
user____see sugg:13:56
onefangI'm seeing both gcc-doc and gcc-avr in Beowulf, gcc-doc was already installed on my desktop14:05
onefangAnd now both are installed.14:06
user____I do not see it in aptitude14:06
user____avr-gcc gas some extensions which are *way* too complex to be explained in avr-gcc --help14:07
user____*has14:08
user____So, having gcc-doc installed, is not the same as having avr-gcc-doc installed14:09
user____https://github.com/embecosm/avr-gcc looks like the docs are installed as HTML. Let's see if upstream Debian zapped these out of the binary package (grr)14:11
user____Ahh ok, there is an AVR section in man(1) gcc; problem solved14:12
user____Aand texinfo2man did not translate '@tie{}' entities to '-' in man...14:13
user____Should be a nonbreaking space not '-'14:14
user____What avr-gcc version is in Chimaera?14:15
sadoon_albader[m<user____> "What avr-gcc version is in..." <- 1:5.4.0+Atmel3.6.2-115:02
sadoon_albader[mit's gcc-avr here, not avr-gcc15:02
hyrcanusffs libxml++ has 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 and we're stuck with 2.615:56
hyrcanusanyone have libxml++-3.0 debianized?15:56
AfdalWhen are we going to bring GTK back under community control :'(17:11
hyrcanuswho controls it now17:12
golinuxAfdal: Hahahaha!  For your enlightenment: https://igurublog.wordpress.com/2012/11/05/gnome-et-al-rotting-in-threes/17:42
AfdalD:>17:43
Afdalrofl one of the GNOME devs didn't even know what Xfce is17:45
Afdalthis post was from 201217:45
AfdalWhy didn't we listen...17:45
AfdalThe Power Off option is hidden because we don’t believe it’s necessary in that menu […]. The primary way that a user would shut down (if they, say, need to disconnect power) would be to log out and shut down through GDM.17:46
AfdalAhahaha, this is killing me17:46
golinuxYeah, it's quite disheartening17:47
AfdalCan't someone just fork GTK already?17:49
AfdalGNOME can keep their crummy version that's only designed to work with GNOME17:50
Afdalthe rest of us can use our fork that attempts to respect all the other developers that use GTK17:50
golinuxYou would have to revert the css for every app that uses GTK317:54
AfdalCSS?17:54
AfdalDoes GTK use some web stuff under the hood?17:54
golinuxIn the themes17:54
golinuxYuppers17:55
golinuxAnd synaptic etcf17:55
Afdalhmmmmm17:55
golinuxAll the graphical apps use GTK or Qt17:55
golinuxAnd let me tell you from experience . . . it is a pain to modify.17:56
golinuxJust look at the spaghetti under the hood of the default Chimaera theme clearlooks-phenix-deepsea17:57
golinuxAnd this is really offtopic for this channel.17:59
AfdalI just hope they don't come for my baby Greybird some day17:59
AfdalFirst they came for Clearlooks, and I said nothing, for I was not a Clearlooks user...17:59
linux_Hello! I talked yesterday about an issue I had with package incompatibility using apt. Thank you, whoever you are, that did the pull request on the apt config, and got it fixed: E: Repository 'http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera-backports InRelease' changed its default priority for apt_preferences(5) from 500 to 100.18:00
miojohappy new release!18:01
linux_after downgrading the packages from their bpo version to stable, 'apt update' runs as meant now: https://paste.debian.net/hidden/af775b2a/18:02
linux_TY! :-)18:02
* wikan checking if somebody's here20:55
hyrcanusno21:00
Garb0nyet21:04
ShadowM00nhi; I don't see anything on the forum or mailing list archives about this, but it seems that chimera-backports is wanting to change its priority from 500 to 100. Is this of concern or is it official/intentional?21:32
hyrcanusis that a file?21:34
ShadowM00nchimera-backports is a repository21:36
ShadowM00nchimaera*21:37
golinuxShadowM00n: And should be used with caution.  Installing everything from backports could fubar your install21:41
ShadowM00ngolinux: which is why I'm weirded out that the priorty is changing21:42
golinuxThe change was corrected earlier today.21:42
ShadowM00nI suppose a better question would be "what is the change"? is the dev-intended final result 500 or 100?21:44
golinuxhttps://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/20211023.232256.93ae4f86.en.html21:44
ShadowM00nah, I had a reversed understanding. I thought the higher priority was normal.21:45
golinuxIt's all a mystery to me but I do read the logs.21:45
ShadowM00nI seem to have missed this list. I thought there was just the one for announcements that apparently neglected to announce this release.21:45
ShadowM00nwell, at least I understand now. thank you.21:46
ShadowM00noh, there it is. devuan-dev. well, now I know about that too21:47
