onefanghttps://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan_mirror_walkthrough.txt section 7 at the end lists all 4 of the official apt-panopticons.  Listing them elsewhere would be up to our web people.01:59
onefanghttps://sledjhamr.org/apt-panopticon/results/Report-web.html  http://veritas.devuan.org/apt-panopticon/results/Report-web.html  https://ap.in.devuan.org/apt-panopticon/results/Report-web.html  https://mishka.snork.ca/apt-panopticon/results/Report-web.html02:02
onefangap.in and mishka have a tendency to fall over.  I have TODO items to make things more robust.  mishka at least added a 404 that self corrects once it's come back.02:04
onefangcfxproxy has left, but that walkthrough is how you become an official package mirror.02:05
onefangAh cfxproxy found and read that walkthrough, got an email with the details of their mirror.  B-)02:22
* onefang updates the package mirror list.02:23
onefangNot a good start, got a 404 when checking it.02:26
onefangAh mirrors others, but hasn't added Devuan yet.02:27
Xenguyonefang, Is there any way your panopticon tool might be able to monitor ISO mirrors as well  = )02:35
onefangThat's on my TODO list already.02:38
onefangLots of things on my TODO list.  If my life ever settles I might get around to actually doing them.  lol02:38
onefanghttps://sledjhamr.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=5802:40
buZzonefang: where can we add stuff to your TODO :P02:45
buZzhehehe02:45
buZzat the hackerspace i started a project called 'project wishlist' thats just a collection of project ideas for others to pick up :P02:46
buZzor myself02:46
onefangIf you follow that link, you'll be logged on as anonymous, log off, create an account.02:46
buZzhehe, nice02:46
onefangIt's standard Mantis bug tracker.02:47
buZzi cant say i have something to add02:47
buZzi love the quick pickup though :)02:47
onefangNow everyone will be adding stuff.  lol02:47
buZz:) who knows03:39
gnarfacepeterrooney: this just happened to me upon upgrading to 115.3.0esr-1~deb12u1. my wm is e17. firefox should be inheriting values from the gtk3 theme though, shouldn't it?'04:42
gnarfacehmm...04:48
* gnarface just realized he's using a gtk3 theme he forked an untold amount of empty liquor bottles ago04:49
onefangUser error!  Please replace the user with one that works.04:49
* brocashelm prefers gtk2 whenever possible04:50
brocashelmwould be nice if i could successfully get firefox and other browsers to use either gtk2 or qt filepicker04:50
gnarfaceis there a way to make firefox-esr use gtk2 again instead? as i recall that's what precipitated the fork of this gtk3 theme...04:50
brocashelmpart of the reason i still use pale moon; it's the only gtk2 browser that's still shipped04:50
gnarfacehmm.04:51
brocashelmi don't think so. you'd have to experiment with building it preferring gtk2 over gtk304:51
brocashelmbut i think it's been long since deprecated04:51
gnarfacedo i have to restart enlightenment if i change the gtk3 theme?04:51
brocashelmand gtk3 is already in "maintenance mode", so it's only going to get worse from here on out04:51
gnarfacehmmm04:51
gnarfacebrb, trying something04:52
gnarfacealright, well it's not clear why i forked that theme anymore, but it's not related to this issue.05:02
gnarfacei've switched back to the unforked version of the theme (Blackbird) but there's no obvious difference05:03
brocashelmi use artix-dark and firefox looks fine as it is05:04
gnarfaceprobably also important to note noting that firefox and thunderbird are not exhibiting the problem, this is only happening in firefox-esr05:04
brocashelmi just updated it on daedalus05:05
brocashelmyeah, i use esr05:05
* gnarface comes to grips with the realization that it may be time for yet another fork of Blackbird 05:06
gnarfacewhat i really need is someone competent to port Wii-Black to gtk3 for me05:09
onefangI use the hamburger menu, coz the menu shouldn't be taking up vital space when I'm not using it.  No problems with visibility.05:10
onefangAnd I rarely use it.05:10
gnarfaceonefang: are you saying you see the issue too, or merely suggesting i disable the menu bar and ignore it?05:11
onefangI'm not seeing the issue, coz you said the issue is visibility of the menu bar, but not it's contents.  With the hamburger menu there is no menu bar anyway.05:12
gnarfaceright, but could you toggle the menu bar on and see if you're seeing the same color problem? (text matching the background color, giving the impression of missing text)05:13
* onefang rummages around in the settings. BTW, just got the latest firefox-esr update and I'm using Chimaera for what it's worth.05:14
gnarfaceoh, it may not affect chimaera, it only just changed in the latest daedalus update05:14
gnarfacethough i suspect a similar issue was why i forked Blackbird in the first place05:14
onefangMight be theme related then.  I just use the built in "Dark".05:15
onefangNot even seeing this "Blackbird" in the list of themes.05:16
gnarfaceah, yea, i checked and the "Dark" and "Light" themes are fine. it's just the default of "System theme" that's doing this. Blackbird is not a firefox theme, it's the gtk3 "System theme" in question that firefox is supposed to be getting default values from05:16
gnarfaceand my fork was fine since... 2016-07-24 up until today05:17
onefangYep, my menu bar is properly visible.05:17
gnarface(but the unforked version also exhibits this problem, so i'm maintaining that must actually be a firefox bug, but i doubt i'll get any traction from a bug report to upstream about it)05:18
brocashelmsame as onefang05:39
brocashelmlooks and works fine on xfce/xfwm05:40
brocashelmit sounds like the theme in particular05:40
onefangAh for the record I'm using the Awesome window mangler.06:05
onefangSoo "System theme - auto" enabled, menu bar still good.  No idea off the top of my head if I ever fiddled with the gtk themes.06:08
onefangblackbird-gtk-theme not installed.06:10
gnarfacebrocashelm, onefang, if either of you could test Blackbird to verify it's whack and not just me, i'd appreciate it07:14
gnarfaceii  blackbird-gtk-theme                   0.4+20171213-3                          all          dark GTK+ theme from the Shimmer Project07:14
brocashelmgnarface: installed it, applied it, and firefox-esr still loads fine for me07:27
brocashelmi can see the top menu and there are no ui fuckups07:28
brocashelmit's also using automatic theme07:28
gnarfacebrocashelm hmm, weird. thanks for the info. i think it could actually be something with e17 then, but i thought it shouldn't affect this07:57
onefangIt's been a long time since I was an e17 developer or used it, so I can't help with that.09:25
nethead23Anyone here with "deeper knowledge" of the debian package installation system / apt-get etc?13:06
onefangDepends on where you question leads.13:06
onefangWhat do you want to know nethead23?13:09
nethead23my irc client froze again..13:15
nethead23Anyone has any idea how this can happen? I did completely purge a courier mta installation, including the whole apt/cache and the .bin files. Then i did reinstall courier mta. All gets installed where it should be (i,.e /usr/sbin, /etc/courier, /var/lib/courier, etc) but the courier daemon searches under /usr/local for its modules and other files.... I am totally puzzled. I did do an installation from source before but i completely purge13:22
nethead23d this one too....13:22
nethead23I did also "string" the binaries and cant find any hint of a "/usr/local" path, neither in any of the (newly installed) config files.13:23
nethead23The courier packages are also coming from the devuan default repo.13:24
onefangMaybe some left over config in /etc?13:32
nethead23I did do a "find /etc -print | xargs -ifile fgrep -l local file", nothing. And for sure not under /etc/courier13:34
nethead23I did also check sourced files from /usr/lib/courier even they had been purged and installed with the "new" packages.13:35
nethead23I am close to backup user data and revert to a 2 week old snapshot13:37
DelTomixnethead23: when you say you installed from source - you mean like a non .deb source or an upstream like "make install" ?13:42
nethead23No, i did do an install from  the original courier 1.3  source files from the courier website under /usr/local. Because this worked worse than the stock packages i did install the courier sources from the repo and compiled them. But i didnt install them. I wanted to have the original maildrop binary.13:45
nethead23After this i deleted /usr/local/*/* completely, and reinstalled the original packages from the repo.13:46
nethead23I did this about 3 times now.13:46
nethead23While always purging "everything"13:47
nethead23Like /usr/lib/courier, /etc/courier etc13:47
DelTomixI'm not familiar with courier - but it could be getting the wrong binary if something was left behind (it sounds like you made a good effort to make sure it was cleaned out first).   It could also have created a config file somewhere - that got left behind that wasn't in the installed list of files, and the new install is picking that up (just some ideas to check)13:49
nethead23Yeah, but i cant find anything, i am now running a search over the whole filesystem...13:49
djphdid you miss an init script or something that sets something like 'courier -c /wrong/conf/file' ... ?13:50
nethead23For any occurances of "libexec" (/usr/local/libexec), thats where one of the  courier daemons searches for its modules.13:50
nethead23I did verify the /etc/init.d scripts including the sourced files which all come from a default path, i.e. /usr/lib/courier, which are from the freshly installed packages13:52
nethead23But yes, it looks like the new install is picking up a config file from the source install..13:53
nethead23lets see if "ind . -print | xargs -ibla fgrep libexec bla 2>/dev/null" comes up with something13:55
DelTomixI would save the output of dpkg -L courier-mta (incase needed for reference) (you can also do apt-file list courier-mta if its not installed), and then force purge it - watch carefully for any messages like "directory not empty so not removed" , and then try to audit the source you installed maybe comparing contents/destinations against the dpkg listing.13:58
nethead23I did this and manually removed the non empty directories13:59
DelTomixah ok.13:59
drdozerhi - my desktop is running latest devuan, and it sometimes crashes going into or coming out of sleep18:29
drdozerI have archived /var/log from the last 2 crashes18:29
drdozerwhat should I be hunting for?18:29
miojosome warning or errors msgs?18:42
miojoor, also /var/log/Xorg.0.log*18:43
drdozerno errors in Xorg that I can find18:45
miojoyou know, 'crashes' can mean so many things18:46
drdozerthe machine locks up, unresponsive to input, no lights on usb keyboards, no network access, only recovered with hard reboot19:14
drdozerso a complete crash19:15
drdozeri don't really know what I'm looking for in the logs19:27
drdozerthere's nothing really obvious like a panic message19:27
gnarfacedrdozer: are you using nvidia drivers?19:29
drdozergnarface, yes - I have never got the xorg ones to work19:33
drdozerit has been crashing with various versions of the nvidia drivers19:34
drdozerso I don't think it is about any one driver revision, if it is the graphics at all19:34
gnarfacedrdozer: there's some kernel command-line variable or module option you can use to get it to flush the video card's final serial console entries that don't otherwise make it to the black screen you're seeing, but it's a lot of work just to confirm it's never gonna work.19:36
gnarfaceit never gonna worked, it's never gonna work19:37
gnarfacei'm convinced it's broken on purpose to gaslight linux so nvidia can help microsoft prop up their monopoly19:37
gnarfacelike the SLI thin19:37
gnarfacething19:37
drdozerI have no reason to think that it is an nvidia driver fault19:38
gnarfaceanyway, sorry19:38
gnarfacei've had i think over half a dozen nvidia cards and they've literally all done this forever19:38
gnarfacenvidia cards in other machines i know about also have this problem19:39
gnarfacei recommend you just don't sleep it19:39
drdozerI can't leave it running - I don't have my own personal power station19:40
gnarfacei got nothing really, that's all i know19:40
gnarfaceother than that hibernate might behave better, aside from being slower19:40
gnarfacethat's only maybe though19:41
drdozerI don't seem to have the option to hibernate at all19:41
drdozerI found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/13e02dl/how_to_fix_the_sleepsuspend_issueglitch_with/19:41
gnarfaceyou have to do some adjustments to enable hibernate19:42
drdozerbut that link uses systemctl commands, which of course won't work on devuan19:42
gnarfacethe nvidia module option you can try though19:43
gnarfaceit would go in /etc/modprobe.d/19:44
drdozerthere's a nvidia.conf file in /etc/modprobe.d -- is that where I put the option?19:45
gnarfacei've never heard of those services, but if they're just regular daemons you can probably still start them with sysvinit, you might just have to write scripts for them19:45
gnarfacei would recommend creating your own new file in /etc/modprobe.d/19:45
gnarfacethe only rule is it has to end with .conf19:45
drdozerOK, I've made a file /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-extras.conf with that single option in it19:46
gnarfacejust reboot19:46
gnarfacesee if that helps on its own19:47
drdozerok .. I guess I'll do an apt-get upgrare while I'm at it -- thanks19:47
drdozershould I try to find a devuan equivalent for the nvidia services it mentions, or just ignore those?19:47
gnarfacei would try to see if it can be done, yes19:48
gnarfacei've never heard of these services, but if they made them something deeply systemd integrated it's not gonna work19:48
gnarfaceand that would be scummy19:48
gnarfaceif they're just regular programs that can be launched from the command-line without systemd though, there's no reason you couldn't just write your own init scripts or start them from /etc/rc.local19:49
gnarfaceit wouldn't be surprising at all to find out that were the case and they just don't provide sysvinit scripts19:49
drdozerok - I will invest the effort if the conf doesn't fix it19:49
gnarfaceas for hibernate, you'll need to first make sure you have at least as much swap as physical ram19:50
drdozerthat's going to be a bita - I have 64 G ram19:51
gnarfaceyea that might make it tough19:51
drdozerls -lah /swapfile19:51
gnarfaceyou also need acpid and pm-utils installed19:51
drdozer-rw------- 1 root root 256M Jul 16  2022 /swapfile19:51
gnarfaceif running /usr/sbin/pm-hibernate as root works, then everything else UI related boils down to a permissions issue19:52
drdozerok19:52
drdozersleep takes it to almost no power use, and that's my main concern19:53
gnarfacehibernate will actually take zero power19:53
gnarfacehibernate will fully power off the computer, sleep needs to keep power to the ram19:53
gnarfacebut hibernate will be significantly slower to wake back up19:54
gnarfaceand it might actually not help at all19:54
gnarfacebut if nothing else works maybe it's worth a try19:55
drdozerrebooting now19:55
drdozerll20:06
drdozerwell now it refuses to sleep at all20:06
drdozerso that didn't work very well20:06
gnarfaceboo20:08
gnarfacei guess you need those services20:08
gnarfaceany sign of them installed anywhere?20:08
gnarfacemaybe try "dpkg -S nvidia-suspend"20:09
drdozerit doesn't know anything about that package20:11
gnarfaceuh20:14
gnarface-S should look for files in packages20:15
drdozerah - lower vs upper case20:15
drdozeryes xserver-xorg-video-nvidia: /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-video-nvidia/examples/system/nvidia-suspend.service20:15
gnarfaceinteresting20:15
gnarfacelook in that examples directory for some sysvinit scripts20:15
drdozerit calls /usr/bin/nvidia-sleep.sh "suspend" but that script is not installed20:16
drdozerI found /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-video-nvidia/examples/nvidia-sleep.sh20:17
gnarfacecheck in it20:17
gnarfacesee what it runs20:17
drdozerit looks like a plausible script20:19
drdozerso how would I hook it in?20:20
gnarfacewell it depends on how it's expected to be called20:20
gnarfaceif it just needs to run once as root at boot up, you can call it from /etc/rc.local20:21
drdozerit's a fairly standard `case "$1" in` with `suspend|hibernate` or `resume`20:21
gnarfaceit's possible you might have to adapt it to a sysvinit script20:22
gnarfaceor add it to a acpi hook20:22
gnarfaceor... something creative20:22
gnarfacewell if drdozer comes back tell them to try comparing that nvidia-sleep.sh to the /usr/sbin/pm-suspend script20:43
gnarfacei seem to vaguely recall someone trying to either replace it or merge the two20:44
