Juestwhy devuan has a libsystemd symblink to libelogind?13:03
Juestif it makes systemd applications work better, other distros could take it13:11
fsmithredwhidh devuan are you running?13:11
fsmithredJuest, ^^^13:12
Juest[2024-02-07 19:24:11] <eyalroz> # ls -la /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsystemd.so.013:12
Juest[2024-02-07 19:24:11] <eyalroz> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Nov 11 00:14 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsystemd.so.0 -> libelogind.so.013:12
Juestfsmithred: i dont run devuan at the moment, asking bc of this ^13:12
fsmithredI think he might be running excalibur. I don't have one now, so I can't check.13:17
fsmithredI don't have libsystemd0 in chimaera or daedalus.13:18
djphI don't have it either, in either of those13:19
Juestoh okay hmmmm13:23
n4dir i have it installed, old-stable.13:23
Juesti guess its a optional thing you can do13:23
Juestwould it make systemd things work better?13:24
n4dirfluidsynth seems to depend on it, and fluidsynth often gets installed where you would not expect it13:24
Juestoh hmm13:24
n4dirJuest: you could do "aptitude why libsystemd0", but often the result is not too clear13:24
n4dirso your choice if you want to install aptitude and probably won't know much more after it13:25
Juestokay thank you n4dir15:29
joerghow about a `apt-get --simulate remove libsystemd0` ?15:37
n4diraptitude why would tell you if it is a depends or a recommends15:41
eyalrozfsmithred: I am running excalibur15:42
eyalrozBut I didn't realize this symlink was a new thing.15:43
eyalrozn4dir: When I do that, it tells me: "i   tor Depends libsystemd0"15:44
joergon a debian system you get "i   systemd Depends libsystemd0 (= 241-7~deb10u10)"15:45
n4dirtry what joerg suggested.15:46
n4diraptitude why ; has it's drawbacks15:46
n4dirotoh: if you sure want to keep tor, there is no need to investigate any further15:46
joergwell, (on debian) apt-get -s remove libsystemd0 gives me a lot of bickering, and finally :15:51
joergThe following packages have unmet dependencies:15:51
joerg libsoup2.4-1 : Depends: glib-networking (>= 2.32.0) but it is not going to be installed15:51
joergYMMV, on devuan15:52
joerghttps://termbin.com/qfv815:53
fsmithredjoerg, was libelogind0 already installed when you tried to remove libsystemd0?16:33
joergfsmithred: this is on a debian(!) VM server16:34
fsmithredoh16:35
joerga shame Hetzner doesn't offer Devuan images for installation16:36
fsmithredI'm doing a ceres debootstrap now to see what I get16:41
eyalrozjoerg: Well, it seems I don't even have it installed!16:53
masonjoerg: Debian also ships libelogind0 fwiw16:53
eyalrozJuest: It turns out that link I mentioned is just a dangling remainder of a package.16:55
Juestoh lol16:55
eyalrozsorry I yanked your chain.16:57
Juestno worries17:06
Juesteyalroz: no idea what package it was?17:06
eyalrozJuest: The package is libsystemd0 ...17:07
Juestah ok17:07
eyalrozbut it's not installed17:07
Juestinstalled as a dependency of?17:07
eyalrozsimply not installed. Not sure how that file got there17:07
Juestit seems that tor depends on it17:07
Juestwhen you do that17:07
Juest???17:07
Juestsorry17:07
eyalrozYeah, well... I can't explain it17:08
eyalrozAnd tor doesn't really need it either17:09
Hurgotronfsmithred: Would be mighty cool if the Refracta installer woud display a little bit more info whan choosing the partitions, like size, type. I wasted like 2 hours because gparted named the partitons differently every time I tried, and then the install didn't fit17:15
fsmithredHurgotron, it does give output of fdisk -l and either blkid or df (I forget which)17:16
Hurgotronfsmithred: Maybe after choosing, you would have to think of  checking that17:19
Hurgotronit also seems to happily install on a too small disk and only error out when reating the new user17:20
fsmithredyeah, it's fully manual partitioning.17:20
Hurgotronand the install boootloader window doesn't show th buttons here, onla if you remember to resize17:20
fsmithredwhat size is your display?17:21
HurgotronI don't know, the default of the emulator17:21
Juesthey, any idea why grub is not adding itself to efi boot list?17:21
Juestefibootmgr is present17:22
fsmithredJuest, are you looking for the removable media option?17:22
fsmithred       --force-extra-removable17:25
fsmithred              force installation to the removable media path also. This option is only available on EFI17:25
Juestoh sorry, wrong channel18:11
rwpI have become a believer in using UUIDs in /etc/fstab instead of ever using a kernel partition name which might change.  "lsblk -f" is a good way to list those out.18:39
* debdog names the partitions and uses LABEL instead. much more mucid.18:42
debdoghehe *lucid18:42
cousin_luigidebdog: fs or gpt labels?18:51
rwpIf using LVM then LVM uses UUIDs internally.  So using an LV path (example: /dev/mapper/vg-root) is a persistent UUID path and okay.18:54
debdoghum, no clue, TBH, cousin_luigi. the option the devuan installer offers to label partitions. or the on gparted offers.18:54
debdogprolly not fs then18:54
rwpI think it will depend upon the partition type, GPT or MBR, and then do the right thing depending upon that choice.18:57
debdogright18:58
rwpI use labels for RAID arrays where I have labeled each disk with the serial number.  Makes determining which disk has failed in the array easier.  Having labeled the hot swap bay with the same it identifying which bay to pull and replace.18:59
debdogserial number, good idea18:59
rwpI also keep a file listing which drives are installed where.  Because sometimes the label adhesive dries up and falls off!  Server rooms are very dry.19:00
debdogheehee19:01
debdogDymo labels?19:01
rwpKnowing by some method which drive bay to pull makes the difference between a trivial hot swap and needing to shut down the system entirely to inventory the drives and figure out which one failed and then things are offline until you boot back up again.19:02
debdogjust out of curiouriosity19:02
rwpI have a Brother label machine that has worked well for many years.19:02
debdog*curiosity?19:02
debdogok19:02
rwpI haven't seen an old Dyno tape labeler for some time now.  Though the most recent one I saw was a Braille tape maker.  After seeing it I immediately wanted a label in Braille that said "Do Not Touch".19:03
debdoglol19:03
debdogthere are modern Dymos, too, you know?19:04
debdogthermo printer19:04
debdoghmm, I suppose they are thermo19:05
rwpI think I was confusing the newer Dymo thermal labels with the older Dymo pressed, squeeze to emboss, tape.  I see those are still available too.  I guess Dymo does make all kinds of stuff.19:07
cousin_luigirwp: I read that Dymo ribbons come with DRM these days.19:15
rwpcousin_luigi, The classic embossed ones do not.  You can join us in -offtopic to continue discussing the merits of them. :-)19:20
cousin_luigirwp: Oh those.19:20
debdogcousin_luigi: what does DRM do in that context?19:24
debdogone cannot print things like "Black Sabbat – Paranoid" or such?19:25
rwpDRM for thermal printers is just like DRM for inkjet printers.  Locks the printer to the vendor's own cartridge.  And therefore includes all of the problems of printers rejecting vendors cartridges when the DRM chip fails and fails to validate it.19:27
debdogwell, in that case, Dymo, that is not a bad thing. these labels are really good quality19:28
debdogthey stick to almost everything19:29
* cousin_luigi bought Brother instead19:33
debdoghehe19:35
