systemdleteI tried stracing arecord for just read calls.  Every 7th read, it returns successfully with 32 bytes.  The interrim calls fail with a message indicating00:01
rwpI wish audio was less trouble.  I often struggle through it.00:01
rwpI have one system where everything works with regards to audio.  I don't touch it.00:01
systemdleterwp.  You and me, bro.  You and me.00:01
rwpAnd therefore I actually don't use it for anything else.  I treat it as dedicated.  I use my other systems for all of my daily work.00:01
systemdleteSeveral folks here tried to coach me through this last night (about 12 hours ago).  One suggested strace.00:02
systemdleteFunny part is that it works fine (for the most part) on beowulf.00:03
rwpIf we transported ourselves back a decade everything worked because nothing blocked it from working.00:06
rwpBut now everything is cgroups and kernel policies and blocked access.00:07
rwpSo either we rip all of that out to return to the old basic system where everything works.00:07
rwpOr we go the other way embracing the chaos running the full fluff and glitter stack that heavy Desktop Environments expect these days.00:07
systemdlete(what you said ^^^^^)00:07
rwpIn between is where most of us exist, trying to figure things out, because we are lost betwixt and between.00:07
systemdleteamen.00:10
onefangWell I'm planning on ripping out my desktop environment and just going with the window manager.  Not sure if I'm getting any actual benefit from the DE side.05:53
* snork cheers!05:56
brocashelmonefang: which window manager are you thinking of going with?06:06
brocashelmopenbox? fluxbox? jwm? i3? awesome? dwm?06:07
onefangOpenBox is what I'm using now, with LXDE.  So getting rid of LXDE is one path I'm considering.  Swapping them both out and using Awesome window manager is another.06:08
brocashelmi was experimenting using xfce4-panel + xfwm4 with spacefm as both desktop and file manager. it didn't even feel like i got rid of xfdesktop4 or thunar06:08
brocashelmyou can still keep lxpanel if you want to use the start menu06:09
brocashelmi use feh as the wallpaper manager06:09
onefangAs for file manager, purely midnight commander for many years.06:09
onefangYep, I would keep lxpanel.06:09
brocashelmthat refracta beowulf nodbus iso gave me the idea to experiment a bit, since software is getting chunkier nowadays06:10
onefangExactly.06:10
onefangThough not sure JACK can live without dbus.06:10
brocashelmi only keep xfce4-panel for the whisker menu, which is better than all the other menus of mate, cinnamon, gn*me, lxde, lxqt, plasma, etc.06:11
brocashelmbut i'd love to be able to cope without dbus entirely06:11
onefangNot heard of whisker menu.06:11
brocashelmi use alsa. it's the only one that's 99.9% worked for me06:11
brocashelmit's a plugin for xfce's panel. more flexible as you can just type what you're searching in a familiar theme06:12
onefangI st'rted doing digital music production this year, so JACK is needed.06:12
onefangAh whisker isn't stand alone?06:12
brocashelmi do recommend giving spacefm a shot, even if just for the --desktop feature (it would work well with lxde replacement)06:12
brocashelmyeah, it only works with xfce's panel06:13
onefangThe reason I stick with midnight commander is it's terminal only, so works the same on my desktop and servers.06:14
brocashelmxfce4-panel + openbox is not a bad combination06:14
onefangIt even runs under Windows and Mac when I have to use those.06:14
brocashelmnice06:15
brocashelmi use ranger the most of all cli file managers06:15
brocashelmonly reason i can't fully switch to spacefm would be the thumbnails being a ram hog if i keep browsing for too long06:16
brocashelmotherwise, it would save me 200-300 of mb compared to xfdesktop4 + thunar + tumbler06:17
onefangThink we have long ago wandered off topic, and I got work to do.06:17
onefangMostly my fault though.  lol06:33
ted-iousCan you get rid of the desktop and only run openbox and still deal with multiple monitors?15:11
onefangI hope so.15:13
gnarfaceunless they've done something really weird in the code, worst-case scenario should just be that you'd have to manage the extra monitors with xrandr15:16
onefangI do already actually.15:16
onefangLXRandR is the GUI I use for setting monitor things, including which one is on what side.15:17
onefang"Monitor configuration tool for LXDE"  so that's back to "hope so", but likely some other way of dealing with xrandr will work fine.15:18
junicchiis there any way to install php8.2 to my chimaera without fully upgrading my os to ceres?16:17
junicchii found exactly what i was looking for nvm: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=556316:26
clemens3I just downloaded a 4.0.2 life iso and the pgp signature is a with a key already expired by  fsmithred, can that be?22:36
gnarfaceheh, yea i'm pretty sure that's on purpose believe it or not22:51
gnarfacefsmithred, would you like to comment?22:51
fsmithredyeah, gnarface and clemens3 - as soon as I remember the command you  have to run22:53
fsmithredgpg --refresh-keys22:53
fsmithredpretty sure22:53
clemens3do i need update, no problem, only thing important is that i did not get some man in the middle22:54
clemens3ok, thanks!22:54
fsmithredand no, not on purpose. I allowed my key to expire, and then I un-expired it.22:54
clemens3oh, cool! anyway, just wanted to be on the save side..22:54
fsmithredgood idea22:54
clemens3like you:)22:54
fsmithredwouldn't be outside the realm of possibility for someone to try to screw us up.22:55
clemens3yeah, like, ah, it's the old key, no problem, just continue..22:55
rwpIt's normal to have expiration dates on keys. Therefore normal that they expire. And normal to extend the expiration. Which requires key refreshing.22:57
clemens3... and all is good.. thanks!22:57
clemens3yeah, try to learn something new every day:)22:58
rwpAlso the devuan_chimaera_4.0.2_*-live.iso files I see are dated 2022-Sep-10 so that is really the date upon which we should reference.22:59
rwpIf the key signing it was not expired on that date then it would have verified as valid on that day.  Even if since then the key has since expired.23:00
Guest95hello. I added ACL rules on my home folder, where I also have the .iso's and the virtual drives I run with kvm. Now they won't run23:13
Guest95my user is added on cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev netdev kvm bluetooth lpadmin scanner libvirt wireshark libvirt-qemu groups, plus his own group23:13
Guest95anyone that could instruct me?23:14
Guest95https://paste.debian.net/plainh/f018a57f these are my setfacl on the whole home folder, including the virtual disks of kvm https://paste.debian.net/plainh/f018a57f23:16
Guest95screenshot of the error when i try to start a vm https://i.imgur.com/BYM8ovr.png23:20
gnarfacewhich release?23:35
Guest95423:35
gnarfacewhich one is that?23:35
gnarfaceis that stable?23:36
Guest95yes23:37
gnarfaceand it worked before you added the ACL rules?23:37
Guest95yes, perfectly23:37
gnarfacewhat acl rules did you add exactly?23:38
Guest95u::rwx, g::rx, o::000, changed with chown to my user:group all files recursively, and then chmod'd them to 0750 too recursively23:39
Guest95so all old and new files won't be readable by other users23:39
Guest95I think I am close to fixing it23:40
gnarfacewhat was it before?23:40
gnarfacethe acl?23:40
Guest95gnarface I had no acl rules before that23:41
Guest95I'll try something and get back to y ou23:41
gnarfacethose are filesystem permissions though, not acls23:41
gnarfaceand there would have definitely been a default setting23:41
gnarfaceunless i'm misunderstanding what this is...23:42
gnarfaceyou ran chmod and chown on your home directory, right?23:43
Guest95yeah, also added setfacl23:43
gnarfacewhat did you set there?23:43
Guest95u::rwx, g::rx, o::00023:44
gnarfacethe same thing as the chmod/chown commands?23:48
gnarfacei must be missing out on something here23:48
rrqGuest95: the screenshot mentions VM_pool and the other paste mentions OS_ISO ...23:59
