_mystHi Guys, just some brief  question, I looking to configure something like openmediavault, I don't want to use systemD, is there a way that I'm able to mymic OMV with  Devuan? Thanks kindly!05:08
brocashelm_myst: in general, you should be able to install almost anything that debian itself would accept, as long as it doesn't have a dependency on systemd that couldn't be resolved through traditional init services/scripts05:48
mason_myst: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenMediaVault suggests that it's itself a GNU/Linux distribution based on Debian, so you'd want to find out what the components are. It's likely you could run all of them - looks like the project was originally based on BSD, and then shifted to Debian prior to the systemd incursion.06:29
gnarfacemaybe you one could upgrade openmediavault to devuan directly06:31
gnarfaces/you//06:32
brocashelmthe debian wiki page even lists instructions from wheezy (debian 7), which was pre-systemd times still06:32

brocashelmand the original source cited by the wiki: http://forums.openmediavault.org/index.php/Thread/5302-Howto-install-OpenMediaVault-on-Debian-7-x-Wheezy/06:33
brocashelmso technically, it should be possible to install and run omv on devuan directly06:33
masonnice find06:33
brocashelmtry it out, see if it works, report back with confirmations06:33
rustyaxemason: btw, removing runit solved all the troubles, though the needed reboot to finish switching reloaded it; at least now i can reload as needed to turn usb getty on/off ;)06:37
rustyaxewithout a reboot06:37
masonrustyaxe: Ah, glad you got things settled again.06:37
rustyaxeNext i need to disassembly my 5.25" floppy drive06:37
rustyaxeand figure out whats up there, so i can have B: drive working06:37
masonDon't forget to arrange backups!06:38
not-demindiroDoes Ceres have the 6.3 kernel? Daedalus with 6.1 appears to work very poorly with the (used) 6600 XT I got recently (crashing & artifacts, looks like faulty VRAM), though Debian Trixie with 6.3 seems to be working fine so far13:26
al1r4d🤷‍♂️ you can use custom kernel or just grab .deb from debian trixie13:26
al1r4dI have nothing problem with that13:26
not-demindiroI'll try that later then13:27
brocashelmnot-demindiro: anything in debian sid not forked/blacklisted because of systemd should also be available for devuan ceres, so yes, 6.3 kernel is available if sid already has it13:47
gnarfacenot-demindiro: yes, it has it; https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/policy-query.html?c=package&q=%5Elinux-image-6%5C.3&x=submit13:59
not-demindiroAlright, thanks!14:00
grayrocknot-demindiro: fwiw, my 6650 xt works great with daedalus default kernel. it's just a slightly faster version of the 6600 xt.14:20
brocashelmi got rx 6500 xt and it worked fine IME14:21
brocashelmon 5.18 kernel, last i checked14:22
grayrock(Kernel: 6.1.0-9-amd64)14:23
brocashelmi'm on daedalus and the kernel got bumped to 6.1.0-1014:23
brocashelmdaedalus-security14:24
grayrockrequires install of firmware-amd-graphics, but you probably already know that.14:26
brocashelmas long as non-free-firmware is added to the repo, yes14:26
not-demindiroYeah, I have it installed14:27
gnarfacemaybe the variable is the motherboard14:59
_ds_Just had some Fun™ trying to d a kernel upgrade. Booting would get stuck after a keymap syntax error was reported, then ckbcomp reported deep recursion (probably related to some fiddling which I've been attempting because my custom keymap kept being reset to gb(…)) and just sat there.19:54
_ds_Had to use a live image to move ckbcomp out of the way…19:54
not-demindiroIt seems that booting 6.3 somehow fixed the card, it no longer crashes in 6.1 either20:00
_ds_Fixed that problem – recursive include…20:09
_ds_(and it was actually perl complaining)20:13
