razor[m]I'm getting these on tty. Boots perfectly though11:39
hyrcanuswhat are these11:40
hyrcanusdo you require assistance, razor[m]11:40
razor[m]These messages are constantly firing on tty11:40
hyrcanusi won't click your link sorry11:41
razor[m]hyrcanus: Yeah I wanna know why11:41
razor[m]I'm getting (ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: possible UCSI driver bug 2) in tty11:44
gtrHi, I just wanted to download Devuan from https://mirror.leaseweb.com/devuan/devuan_chimaera/desktop-live/ , but the hash is PGP signed with 67F5013216271E85C251E480A73823D3094C5620 which expired 2021-09-20 as far as I know. How can I make sure that this is file is authentic?11:45
hyrcanusrazor[m]: maybe you can detect whether it is associated with particular hardware by disconnecting some USB devices11:45
razor[m]Thanks i disconnected the charger which is usb c thunderbopt. I only had USB thunderbolt charger connected11:47
hyrcanusthe errors i find with websearch all are usb-c related11:48
razor[m]Yeah in my case it was the USBC thunderbolt on my thinkpad11:48
hyrcanusgtr some root key expired in september11:51
hyrcanusif you want to download from that host maybe you can check that the hash of the images matches those claimed for other hosts11:51
hyrcanusif you want more surety use pgp signed hashes11:52
gtrhyrcanus, I am using PGP signed hashes. The problem is that the PGP signature is invalid because the corresponding key has expired.11:53
hyrcanusif your goal is to fix the expired key, contact the maintainer of that mirror11:54
hyrcanushe could do it if he happens to be here and reading this, but the chances of that are slim11:54
gtrhyrcanus, no I don't want to fix anything, I just want to verify the signature11:55
hyrcanusmaybe someone here has the release-live image of chimera and can give you the hash11:56
gtrLast post of fsmithred was on 2021-09-19 here: https://dev1galaxy.org/search.php?action=show_user_posts&user_id=6  So I assume that he has been kidnapped and forced to publish a malicious release. If other people have the same hash as me that's not gonna help ;)12:01
hyrcanusit is a mistake to rely on any one person for that matter, and that person in particular12:13
rrqmost recent amd64_desktop-live ahs sha256sum 98b514efbdd9be9706991d40b459436396a386b2128e9e47e0cca83b3e2612c412:17
hyrcanusmy understanding is that sha256sums will differ on errors caused by transmission/copy errors, but that an attacker can generate corrupted files with identical hashes12:31
gtrNo, sha256 is a cryptographic hash but as I said it doesn't help if the release image itself is not authentic12:32
ericHi all. How would one go about recreating initramd.img after creating a Frankenstein installation on a new SSD with different UUIDs for partitions etc? Encrypted /, separate unencrypted /boot.12:34
erici redtored my full filesystem backup of my old Beowulf on top of a fresh Beowulf installation in the new SSD. I tried to fix fstab and crypttab with the right UUIDs but I'm not sure how to make a new initramd out of them.12:37
erici tried to do the usual live-CD chroot and bind mount thing and then tried mkinitramfs but it was throwing some warnings about a uuid not being there and also crypto capabilities not being included in the image.12:39
hyrcanuseric: if no-one currently online can help, keep your client open12:48
ericWill do. I think it may be a more involved issue.12:51
hyrcanusit's the kind of maintenance i do seldom and promptly forget everything about12:54
Afdaluh wait13:20
Afdalsomeone refresh my memory13:20
AfdalDoes Xfce have menu icons for something as basic as right-clicking on an application in the task panel area?13:21
AfdalBecause those are missing too13:21
Afdalafter this Chimaera upgrade13:21
gtrAfdal, no menu icons on task bar context menu here (Fedora XFCE)13:28
Afdalmust be something else about it that feels off then13:29
Afdalfeels very sterile now13:29
hyrcanusanyone know what happened to fsmithred?13:31
ShorTiehow come "ls /sys/class/net" shows no wifi ??14:27
hyrcanusdoes here14:31
ShorTielast 2 live installs does not .. :(~14:33
hyrcanusperhaps the kernel driver for your particular hardware was changed14:34
hyrcanuscan you use wifi?14:34
ShorTienot the way i want to, lol.14:39
ShorTieuse to give me a funky wlxxxx name14:41
ShorTiewhich twas fine14:41
AfdalSo I did an xfce4-panel -r and instead of restarting the panel it just completely killed it14:43
hyrcanusi would begin by investigating the driver for your hardware ShorTie14:43
AfdalAnd now I can't figure out how to start up the panel again as a background process because I'm a dummy14:43
AfdalI can run xfce4-panel in a terminal and that'll start the panel up fine but it has to occupy an active terminal14:43
hyrcanusthere is an #xfce on the network i think and there might be people there who can help14:45
Afdalyeah #xfce is always dead though -___-14:45
carlosAfdal xfce4-panel > /dev/null 2&1 &14:45
Afdalah thank you14:47
carlosglad to help14:47
ShorTieSorry, Think kitty knocked it loose14:56
ShorTieworks now .. :/~14:56
AfdalAha, I knew I wasn't crazy.  My Xfce IS missing some menu icons now!15:04
AfdalThe little icons by Maximize, Minimize, and Close for example15:04
Afdalthose seem to have been lost in the Chimaera upgrade15:05
AfdalIs this more GTK shenanigans?15:05
hyrcanusperhaps it's missing a theme15:05
AfdalDoesn't seem to matter what icon theme I pick, they're all missing em15:07
hyrcanustry the xfce themes, not icon themes15:14
AfdalYou mean styles?15:19
AfdalTried those too15:19
Afdalwithin xfce4-appearance-settings15:20
jagosixHello People16:44
jagosixI need some help.16:44
flingHi! Try asking.16:45
jagosixI just installed devuan Chimera 4.0 and it's not picking up my scanner.16:45
hyrcanusthe scanner scanner didn't scan16:46
jagosixI had linux mint 20.2 and it worked fine. In Devuan , The scan app doesn't even recognize the scanner.16:46
golinuxAfdal: Do you have desktop-base installed?16:47
golinuxSee this thread: https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=1508516:48
jagosixI have the Cinnamon desktop of Devuan installed. So, yes. When I run lsusb it shows the scanner make and model.16:48
golinuxfsmithred fixed those linkages so should be working.16:49
jagosixAny suggestions? I also have a fi6230, It picks it up no problem. However,it doesn't utilize the ADS 2700.16:52
jagosixHello.. Anyone..?16:55
hyrcanusjagosix: i don't have that hardware16:56
jagosixI understand. The OS seems to be clean. I just need this to work with it.16:58
gnarfacejagosix: did you try the xfconf-query thing from that forum thread?  the only other thing i could think of is if you installed the vendor's drivers for the scanner from somewhere outside of the devuan repos, there is some small chance they could have been left behind during the upgrade18:48
gnarfaceand if the package was fixed after you initially installed it, you might have to manually tell it to reinstall to regenerate the configs18:49
gnarfaceyou might want to reinstall desktop-base too18:49
gnarfacejust to be sure18:49
gnarfacethere's also the possibility that in-repo packages are missing from non-free that mint includes automatically but debian and devuan do not18:50
gnarfaceyou should be able to check the installed package list in mint for those18:50
gnarfacemint might also use a different kernel package, i'm not sure, so that's suspect as well (if it were debian, i know for sure the kernel packages are the same on x86)18:51
AfdalWhat version of Xfce did Beowulf use20:04
AfdalWanna track the Xfce version change here20:04
AfdalWas it 4.12 or 4.14?20:04
hyrcanusi could boot up a beowulf device if you can't find it20:04
hyrcanusi think 4.1420:05
Afdalhard to find for some reason20:05
hyrcanussec20:05
DPAhttps://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/policy-query.html?c=package&q=xfce4&x=submit20:05
Afdalaha, thank you20:06
gnarfacejagosix: oh, make sure you have proper permissions too, since mint probably munges those for you as well20:06
golinuxAfdal: Did you see the link I left for you above?20:32
golinuxhttps://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=1508520:32
golinuxThat will fix your menu items20:33
AfdalNo, but check this out20:33
Afdalhttps://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4/-/commit/8a16ca2e6b49679b4d217032d9bcf56692f5121820:33
Afdalit's an actual official change20:33
Afdalwhat in the heckity hecks20:33
AfdalXfce is not the DE I expect radical edgy design changes like this >:(20:34
AfdalAh yeah, and my problem isn't missing icons in the application menu20:35
Afdalit's missing icons on the universal window menu20:35
golinuxYeah the latest is a bit screwed up.  They went GTK320:35
Afdalbecause some joker removed them deliberately >:(20:35
golinuxYou have to recreate a file. Read that post.20:35
golinuxNot the path to it has changed.20:35
golinux-t20:35
Afdalthat fix is for applications menu icons though20:36
golinuxA fresh install displays them properly (or should0>20:36
AfdalI want my window menu icons back20:36
golinuxRead the post.  That's all I can say . . .20:36
AfdalI did...20:37
DPAHave you seen the CSD in xfce4-settings-manager yet?20:39
DPAAwful, isn't it?20:39
AfdalCSD?20:39
DPAClient-Side Decorations20:40
DPAThis is when the application decides how th borders look like, instead of your WM.20:40
Afdaleww it looks like a MATE or Cinnamon app20:41
DPAYes...20:41
golinuxThere is a noscd package20:41
golinuxnocsd that is20:42
golinuxI also understand there is something like a "classic" option.20:42
DPAI never got that working satisfyingly. It can help get the WM border back, but the awful other border tends to stay too.20:43
golinuxhttps://pkgihttps://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/policy-query.html?c=package&q=nocsd*&x=submitnfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/policy-query.html?c=package&q=nocsd*&x=submit20:44

golinux(my mouse wants to do double pastes these days.20:44
golinux)20:44
golinuxI've had nocsd since ascii.  Also to get the visible scroll bar back.20:45
peterrooneynocsd rules. The hiding scrollbar is a most revealing test of patience and civility. When I first encountered it, I spent a while looking for a rendering problem. Why would I think to operate a control that I could not tell was there?20:51
hyrcanussince when does the WM handle an application's scrollbar?20:53
hyrcanusi apologize for offtopic confusion20:53
DPAIt gives the old border back. But the CSD border is still there: https://temp-s.s.abrecht.li/Screenshot%20from%202021-10-25%2020-51-23.png20:54
DPA2 title bars. That's just not nice.20:59
jagosixgnarface - Thanks I will check on those suggestions in a minute.21:14
gourevening. has chimaera got some runit updates or is it still safer to use sysvinit? (i plan to use ceres))21:17
fsmithredseveral people have been using runit in chimaera or ceres for most of this year21:21
jagosixok21:21
hyrcanusisn't there some way to get xterm to show your current font?21:21
gnarfacegour: i think you might still run into isolated cases of missing init scripts for certain services, but people have been using it successfully21:21
hyrcanusthis no workee XTerm*faceName: "-unscii-unscii-medium-r-normal-full-16-160-75-75-c-80-iso10646-1"21:21
hyrcanusuxterm -fn works tho21:22
gnarfacehyrcanus: uxterm is a completely different piece of software that you should probably use instead unless you have a good reason to use xterm specifically21:23
hyrcanusuxterm is xterm21:23
hyrcanusurxvt is different software21:23
hyrcanusunless i'm mistaken21:23
gnarfaceyou're right i misread that as urxvt but my advice still stands21:24
hyrcanuscan you rephrase your advice please?21:25
gnarfacexterm is certainly faster but only because it has less features.21:25
gnarfacei'd advise you just skip it and use urxvt21:25
hyrcanusok thanks21:25
gnarfacexterm's primary value is it provides reliable emulation of several obsolete hardware terminals that don't even support custom fonts21:26
gnarface(or non-latin1 character sets, for that matter)21:26
hyrcanusto the issue i raised, i suspect the faceName in xresources is not the canonical x fontname21:27
hyrcanus.Xresources21:28
gnarfaceyou have a .Xresources defined?21:28
gnarfaceyou might have inherited that from an earlier release or a different distro entirely21:29
hyrcanusyes21:29
gnarfacethat might explain the font-name mismatch21:29
gnarfacealso, it might be that you're just missing whatever base font package it refers to21:29
gnarfacethere's tons of font packages but none of them are installed by default in a minimal system21:29
gnarfacedepending on how old of a system you're upgrading from there's also a real old bug where you could have all the fonts but you need to rebuild the index manually (i think just by calling fontconfig once?)21:30
hyrcanusfonts are complicated21:31
hyrcanusi had to xset +fp ~/.fonts21:32
hyrcanusthere's also fc-cache for fontconfig, which is a system on top of it21:32
hyrcanusthe annoying thing is i'm not getting every glyph the font supports in uxterm or urxvt21:33
gnarfacewell, this Xresources stuff was all set up before TrueType fonts came to Linux, and when they did, I think a lot of desktop programs started supporting those and started ignoring Xresources stuff entirely, so it's not a surprise to me if you've found a bug here21:33
gnarfacebut missing glyphs in urxvt usually is just a symptom of missing fonts21:33
hyrcanushttp://0x0.st/inCN.txt  testpattern for the new-ish unicode 13 block drawing fonts21:33
gnarfacethe only thing i've seen it do wrong is mixed-width characters21:34
hyrcanusunscii has the glyphs. i suspect there's an issue with unicode 13 additions21:34
gnarfacebut it still displays them, just at the same width as the rest of the characters21:34
gnarfacehmm.  which fonts do you have installed?21:34
gnarfacedo you have some fonts from the correct locale installed?  note that many utf8 fonts are still missing non-latin language character glyphs21:35
hyrcanushttp://viznut.fi/unscii/  here is a font that handles them properly21:36
gnarfaceif it's just a few characters missing from the most recent unicode version that's not a surprise, but if you're missing entire alphabets of kanji and cyrillic then you're missing fonts21:36
gnarface - fonts or locales21:36
gnarfacedo make sure you've built in the correct locales too21:37
hyrcanusi'm interested inthe classic text drawing fonts from old computers21:37
hyrcanusok21:37
gnarface"dpkg-reconfigure locales"21:37
gnarface(none of this will work if you didn't have the locales package installed)21:37
hyrcanusgood info, ty gnarface21:37
gnarfacenp21:38
hyrcanusan interesting browser plugin might be 'install downloadable fonts to system'21:39
hyrcanusi get the viznut.fi displaying properly in browser, but not terminal, despite using the unscii font in terminal21:39
gnarfacei think that's a horrifically bad idea security-wise, but note that firefox has its own native support for unicode now in order to dodge emoji compatibility issues (*cough* preserve apple/android branding cross-platform *cough*)21:40
hyrcanusah i ignored this: "NOTE: Due to format limitations, the PCF versions lack all the characters above U+FFFF!21:40
hyrcanusneed to use ttf21:40
gnarfaceoh you were trying this without truetype fonts21:40
gnarfacei guess you did say that21:40
gnarfacei'm actually not sure we even have non-truetype unicode fonts21:41
hyrcanusutf8 does work up to 4bytes21:41
hyrcanuswondering whether to download the ttf, orf or woff21:41
hyrcanus*otf21:41
gnarfacetry this: apt-cache search '^(ttf-|fonts-)'21:43
gnarfaceor maybe better yet:  apt-cache search '^(ttf-|fonts-)' |less21:43
hyrcanusthat's a lot21:43
gnarfaceyou don't need all of them21:43
hyrcanusapparently there are none for otf-|fonts-21:44
gnarfacehmm, i'm only looking in ceres, i see some in ceres21:45
gnarfacealso i see a ton of fonts- ones21:45
hyrcanusah yes21:45
gnarfacemaybe run "apt-get update" first?21:45
hyrcanus$ apt-cache search font |grep otf21:45
gnarfacecareful don't paste a lot of lines in here you might get auto-kicked21:46
gnarfacefonts-johnsmith-induni - OTF fonts with exhaustive set of Roman characters21:46
gnarfacei see this package notably21:46
gnarfaceand fonts-stix21:46
gnarfaceand otf-trace21:46
gnarface otf2bdf might also be useful, this says it generates some other bitmap font from otf fonts, maybe you can convert that to truetype or something21:47
hyrcanustruetype tends to render slow on my arm sbc21:53
hyrcanusi usually stick with bitmap and no AA21:54
gnarfacefair enough, if you're running this on a sbc mabye there is some value to figuring out what's wrong with xterm then, but i think making it render unicode right might still be beyond it21:56
gnarfacehttps://www.enlightenment.org/about-terminology.md21:57
gnarfacethis might be interesting to you though21:57
gnarfacei think it was designed with sbc performance concerns in mind, as a replacement for a X environment instead of an add-on to it21:57
gnarfacenever it myself though, so i don't know much about it other than that21:58
gnarfaceseems like your use case might be something they had in mind though21:58
gnarface(note that clicking on the above link will tell you about a terminal emulator called Terminology, which is made by the same crew that makes enlightenment - it will not just link you to unrelated enlightenment terminology as the url seems to imply)22:01
hyrcanushave terminology installed22:02
hyrcanusi wonder where i could chat with viznut - his .ttf and .otf render all wrong22:14
hyrcanusand this doesn't work22:19
hyrcanus urxvt -fn  "-fontforge-unscii-medium-r-normal--8-50-120-120-p-80-winroman-0"22:19
hyrcanuswhile this does22:19
hyrcanus uxterm -fn  "-fontforge-unscii-medium-r-normal--8-50-120-120-p-80-winroman-0"22:19
hyrcanuswlel gnarface it looks like termit can do the utf-8 over 5 bytes per character22:58
hyrcanuskitty can also22:59
hyrcanusterminology also but it has bad rendering problems with panfrost drivers23:00
