xrogaanDid devuan sync with debian repos broke? We should have a new firefox-esr security version.03:56
xrogaanmmh, maybe a problem upstream though.03:56
onefangI just upgraded my firefox-esr on chimaera this morning.  Worked fine.04:07
xrogaanI'm on daedalus04:08
xrogaanstill 102.14 in the repo04:08
onefangWhat I got this morning is - firefox-esr (102.15.0esr-1~deb11u1) bullseye-security04:09
onefangSo might be a problem upstream.04:09
ManinTheSandboxVersion: 102.14.0esr-1~deb12u104:10
ManinTheSandboxVersion: 102.13.0esr-1~deb12u104:10
onefanghttps://www.debian.org/security/2023/dsa-548504:11
onefang"For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 102.15.0esr-1~deb12u1."04:11

xrogaanhttps://tracker.debian.org/pkg/firefox-esr04:11
onefangI'm in the middle of searching for a new home right now, so I'll leave it up to others to dig deeper.04:12
ManinTheSandboxjust patch it04:13
xrogaanupstream repo has the updated firefox though.04:13
ManinTheSandboxthere isnt the source osf 102.15.04:19
ManinTheSandboxgot it04:21
xrogaanwas just the repo not being synced yet08:20
onefangWhich repo?  Debians, or one of ours?08:41
xrogaandevuan's09:09
onefangDo you know which of our servers it was?09:28
onefangCoz it might be something I should look at, being our repo mirror herder.09:28
xrogaanno clue10:36
xrogaanonefang: Though, aren't the syncing done at specific time? The security push was done less than 24h before I checked.10:37
xrogaanPackages.gz updates around 5am (server time)10:38
onefangThe package mirrors are supposed to sync every 30 minutes, but some take an hour or three.  And as I mentioned before, I had already updated firefox-esr for my chimaera desktop, from my own package mirror, earlier this morning, hours before you said it wasn't updating.11:06
onefangSo if it was one of the deb.devuan.org RR mirrors, which is likely since you have no clue which one, I tend to remove them from the RR if they do not update every 30 minutes.  And I test that with apt-panopticon.11:08
al1r4dHmm11:08
onefangFound a new home, let's hope I don't have to move a third time this year.  lol11:11
onefangSo I'll be busy actually moving. then I can get back to working hard on Devuan stuff.11:12
xrogaanonefang: at that point, a mobile home would become a serious option :P11:24
simon_adebisiHi, I am using OpenRC Devuan 5.0, how can I setup power plan on laptop to perfomance? Cause I am getting 800 mhz on battery, which makes laptop slow15:10
ManinTheSandbox1searched on forum?15:17
ManinTheSandbox1search engines'15:17
ManinTheSandbox1?15:17
simon_adebisiYeah, the best Idea I came up with was cpusethigh: aliased to echo performance | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor15:23
simon_adebisiAnd same command for powersave15:23
simon_adebisiI meant same alias, just was used to a widget and mouseclick on opensuse at work15:27
gnarfacesimon_adebisi: graphical widgets for that would be window-manager specific15:40
gnarface(possibly an optional package you just need to install)15:41
gnarfacepersonally i prefer the shell script approach though, because the graphical widgets never seem to do exactly what i want15:41
gnarfaceif you're using the same window manager you were on opensuse, there's a good chance you can enable the same functionality just by figuring out which package you're missing15:42
gnarfaceif you're in doubt, try just installing the "task-laptop" package15:43
gnarfaceif you just want to solve the immediate problem with your shell command only having max or min speeds, try using "ondemand" or "schedutil" for the scaling_governor15:45
gnarface(ondemand was the old default, schedutil is the new one)15:45
gnarfacethose two are actually scaling governors in the literal sense15:46
gnarface"performance" and "powersave" just lock it to max or min, obviously15:46
gnarfacenot great for laptop use15:46
simon_adebisiI have task-laptop package. Scaling governor supports only powersave and perfomance commands. But thanks for help15:49
gnarfacesimon_adebisi: it supports whatever modules you load. modprobe cpufreq_ondemand to enable ondemand15:51
gnarfaceto be clear, "modprobe cpufreq_ondemand" as root or with sudo, or just add it to /etc/modules and reboot15:52
gnarface(it's default behavior is still a little conservative for my taste, but it can be tuned with other variables in that same /sys directory)15:52
simon_adebisiOk, lets try15:53
gnarfacei think i was using something like this before:15:53
gnarfaceecho -n 15 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold15:53
gnarfaceecho -n 100 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_down_factor15:53
gnarfacebut ymmv15:53
gnarface(setting up_threshold lower than 15 didn't work for me on that hardware)15:54
gnarfaceif you say what window manager you're using, maybe someone who knows it well can help you locate the graphical widget you're missing15:55
gnarfacei know that comes up a lot for xfce but it's in the repos somewhere, i just don't know exactly where15:55
simon_adebisiWell, not insisting on graphic solution15:57
gnarfacesimon_adebisi: any luck?16:11
gnarfacefyi if you want to lock it to a specific speed that's neither the min or max speed you can use the cpufreq_userspace module16:12
gnarface(that will also allow you to use something like powernowd to control it too)16:13
simon_adebisiAdded to modprobe schedutil. it works as I wanted. Somehow powersave locks deadly to 800 mhz16:14
simon_adebisiI can also try to disable intel_pstate and change it to acpi16:15
simon_adebisithanks gnarface16:16
gnarfaceno problem16:17
gnarfaceah, yea intel_pstate is some conflicting implementation, also newer. some people report it works better for certain hardware, but that doesn't always seem to be the case16:18
gnarfacethat's the expected behavior for powersave though16:19
gnarfaceit just locks it at whatever your minimum supported speed is16:19
braincat[20:48
Guest11Is devuan beather then salix?21:40
djphsure.21:43
gnarfacethey're already gone21:43
maskerinohello23:25
debdogahoy!23:27
maskerinooh wow it's working23:27
maskerino:D23:27
maskerinoIs here the place to get help with weird apt-get warnings?23:28
maskerinonew to IRC in general23:28
debdogmaskerino: just ask! you're at the right place23:28
debdogbut be patient, sometimes it takes time to get a reply23:29
maskerinogreat!  When I run sudo apt update, I get the error: `stable InRelease (expected stable but got daedalus)`23:29
maskerinofor many many sources it gives me that warning23:29
maskerinoi edited sources.list to replace all the mentions of 'devuan' with 'stable' just on a hunch but that didn't work.23:30
debdogmaskerino: please paste the content of your sources.list on https://paste.debian.net/23:32
maskerinook one sec23:33
maskerinohttp://paste.debian.net/1290614/23:33
debdogI never used stable in my sources list and do not know how to deal with exactly. esp. now that stable changed from chimaera to daedalus. just wait for someone else to chime in23:36
maskerinoi changed it from daedalus to stable23:36
maskerinoand the error was the same when it was daedalus23:36
golinuxNot a good idea to use "stable" in your sources.list . Read bottom of this page: https://www.devuan.org/os/releases23:36
maskerinoyeah i wasn't, but the error was the same, i changed it to stable as a hunch. but it didn't work.23:36
maskerinojust changed it back to 'daedalus' to confirm.  Error remains23:37
maskerinohttp://paste.debian.net/1290615/23:38
golinuxnon-free also still exists if you might need it23:44
maskerinowhat would that do?  For close source?  I see some source links in the warnings that I know are open source.23:45
maskerinoI changed the sources.list to say 'oldstable' just to see, and the warnings are still identical23:46
golinuxJust wanted to make sure you knew it still existed.23:46
maskerinoi didn't.  I don't know what that is23:46
maskerinook i found the info on 'non-free' i'll try that23:47
maskerinoit's free as in libre right not free as in paid?23:48
debdognon-free as in closed source.23:50
maskerinoyeah23:50
maskerinoit didn't work23:50
debdogmaskerino: is this a fresh daedalus installation or upgraded from chimaera?23:50
maskerinoidentical error23:50
maskerinoit's fresh23:51
maskerinoit's like 2 weeks old23:51
maskerinohow can i test that the sources.list is actually properly being updated23:51
maskerinolike what can I put in there that will give me some definitive change.23:51
maskerinoi commented everything out and still the same error23:52
debdogand what made you put "stable" in there instead of daedalus?23:52
maskerinoi just had a hunch.  It didn't do anything.  The error was the same before i changed it and after i changed it back23:53
debdogoh23:53
rwpmaskerino, Run "apt-get --allow-releaseinfo-change update" so accept the InRelease change.23:53
rwpThis is a relatively recent (last release or so) change in behavior which now requires that if the suite is changed.23:54
maskerinothat didn't change anything either23:54
rwpThere was previous discussion on this topic around http://reisenweber.net/irclogs/libera/_devuan/_devuan.2023-08-27.log.html#t2023-08-27T20:29:1623:55
maskerinoi even commented out everything in sources.list and nothing helped23:55
maskerino> you must have started this install before daedalus was marked stable23:56
maskerinothat was kinda my hunch yeah23:56
maskerinohow do i fix23:56
rwpmaskerino, Run "apt-get --allow-releaseinfo-change update" so accept the InRelease change.23:56
maskerino> you must have started this install before daedalus was marked stable23:56
maskerinoyeah i tried that but it didn't work. i'll try again23:57
rwpPlease re-state the problem you are seeing again please.23:57
maskerinoeverytime i do apt update, i get a bunch of warnings saying 'stable InRelease (expected stable but got daedalus)'23:58
maskerinolike i said I also tried commenting the entire source.list out, and it still has the same warning23:59
maskerinoso i think it is reading another source.list somewhere? idk.23:59
rwpHmm...  "apt-get --allow-releaseinfo-change update" and "apt-get update" should fix that problem.23:59
maskerinoi've been using the nala apt frontend23:59
