6[00:01:41] <kingsley> annadane: I understand your concern,
and I believe you're not alone. However, I can say I've
been running a Frankenstein box for decades, have found and reported
dependency bugs, and gained some insight into the robustness of
debian's packaging system.
7[00:02:11] <metastable> kingsley: Be that as it may, that
configuration is neither recommended nor supported, and is widely
known outside of your experience to cause many, many problems.
8[00:02:44] <kingsley> It may be that I've also
discovered that systemd's package dependencies are less robust
that other packages'.
9[00:04:26] <kingsley> metastable: It's all true.
10[00:04:50] <hypn0> you didn't discovered not to run it
like that :-)
11[00:04:55] <metastable> This has been the case since long
before systemd existed.
12[00:05:10] <annadane> you may want to read
replaced-url
13[00:06:03] <metastable> kingsley: At this point, you appear
to be cherry-picking things to try to support your existing opinion
that "systemd is bad."
15[00:06:25] <metastable> kingsley: You've started with a
dislike of systemd, and are now looking for evidence to support
this. This is logically fallacious.
25[00:13:11] <cuddylier> I'm having an issue with Debian
where it seems to timeout trying to get a link on a PXE boot install
before the link is ready on a Juniper switch.
26[00:13:24] <cuddylier> Anyone came across this before? Only
affects Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS etc are all fine.
32[00:19:23] <kingsley> metastable: It seems to me that your
array of Debian VMs gives you an interest in maintaining systemd as
the status quo. I'm OK with that. However, I humbly observe
that others have had more problems than you. You can see this is so
by the hundreds of bugs in the BTS, and criticism on WikiPedia.
33[00:19:46] <xqb> why doesn't this render nicely?
replaced-url
34[00:19:53] <xqb> it has something to do with debian chroot
56[00:40:58] <kingsley> annadane: Yes, there may be safer ways
to install software than Frankenstein. However, it seems to me that
an advantage is finding dependency bugs. Maybe I'll check
systemd's next time.
60[00:44:42] <abrotman> kingsley: please stop trolling, you
should know better
61[00:46:22] <kingsley> abrotman: I'm not.
62[00:46:33] <abrotman> You are

65[00:47:30] <abrotman> kingsley: you came in here, and told us
you filed a bug about systemd ... There are other distros that
don't use systemd, use those
66[00:48:25] <abrotman> Not jusut a bug about systemd, but
asked them to change something you don't personally like. Given
the experience I have with your technical level, I'd guess most
of your systemd-related issues are your own doing.
67[00:49:14] <abrotman> and filing a bug in the BTS isn't
the way to do that
68[00:50:38] <kingsley> abrotman: Please remember that
it's not just me. You can see this is so by the hundreds of
bugs in the BTS, and criticism on WikiPedia.
69[00:50:57] <abrotman> kingsley: there are also hundreds of
bugs against sysv and upstart .. what's your point?
76[00:52:35] <kingsley> abrotman: Also, my understanding is
that the technical committee expects to be contacted through the
BTS. You can see this is so at

250[02:48:20] <tolland> just logged into a debian 9 box, and
when I open some file for editing ,and try to copy something out to
use in another program, it goes into visual mode
251[02:48:54] <tolland> which in itself is fine, but its
blocking konsole copying into clipboard
252[02:49:39] <tolland> odd thing, is that "set
mouse=a" is actually disabled in /etc/vim/vimrc
259[02:55:35] <tolland> if you have to login to a bunch of
machines, which are usually ubuntu/centos, and occaisionally deb.
Then its a slight annoy
260[02:56:14] <themill> Up until you get used to the new config
261[02:56:18] <tolland> however these days, I generally have to
take 2 or three shots at, apt/yum/dpkg and service/systemctl or
whatever before I find my bearings

456[06:52:49] <rant> may also be smb://192.168.1.100/ idk..
havent really used gnome since 3.x came out
457[06:53:05] <Riku-D830> that seems to work
458[06:53:15] <Riku-D830> and yes it's with the smb: to
declare protocol
459[06:53:38] <Riku-D830> okay other problem
460[06:53:41] <rant> if that works then you are either in the
wrong workgroup or the windows computers arent broadcasting.. could
be a firewall thing
461[06:54:00] <Riku-D830> I installed pulseaudio-equalizer and
it's not showing up in my applications
462[06:54:02] <rant> you should however be able to go to the
entire network even if you're in the wrong workgroup I'd
think
463[06:54:27] <rant> its not showing up in mine either.. cause I
dont have any such thing.. and never heard of any such thing
464[06:54:32] <Riku-D830> I usually connect by IP anyway I was
just not quite formatting it correctly
465[06:54:49] <rant> in Gnome 2.x it worked with or without the
smb:
466[06:55:06] <Riku-D830> my headphones need a bit of a bass
boost to sound right which is fairly straightforward in windows
467[06:55:19] <rant> ah
468[06:55:30] <Riku-D830> was directed to pulseaudio-equalizer
here, which I have used in the past but it doesn't seem to be
working now
469[06:57:03] <rant> did you install the pulseaudio-equalizer
package?
470[06:57:14] <Riku-D830> I can use the equalizer in audacious
but it doesn't have as many bands as I'd like and
isn't system wide
471[06:57:25] <Riku-D830> yes I installed it, removed it,
installed it again, rebooted
472[06:57:29] <Riku-D830> doesn't want to work
473[06:57:55] <rant> well I never heard of it before now and my
preliminary look shows its not in jessie but is in stretch.. and
that its a sink
474[06:58:11] <Riku-D830> ah maybe
475[06:58:13] <rant> for a sink to work it has to be selected as
a sink
476[06:58:18] <Riku-D830> I might have to do that yes
477[06:58:39] <Riku-D830> haven't touched desktop linux in
over a year forgive me
478[06:58:57] <rant> I'm in MATE (Gnome 2.x) on Debian 9.3
and I have a sound icon in my notification area I cna right click
and goto Sound Preferences
479[07:00:16] <rant> I didnt touch one for 3 years.. came back
to all this systemd and crap.. heh.. was a nightmare readjusting
480[07:03:35] <Riku-D830> I just put debian back on my old
laptop, no graphics drivers for windows 10 and 7 is too old which is
why this lives as a linux only machine
481[07:03:47] <rant> yes it would seem there is very little in
this package.. a sink shared library and a qpaeq binary.. no menu
entry
482[07:03:52] <Riku-D830> had no reason not to use windows on my
new laptop though because I wanted to play games
483[07:04:06] <Riku-D830> and yeah I had to run some pactl
commands
484[07:04:06] <rant> Riku-D830: you tried gaming on linux
lately?
485[07:04:16] <Riku-D830> not really
486[07:04:22] <rant> I used to play games on linux years ago..
and I'm sure its gotten better since then
487[07:04:28] <Riku-D830> my favourite games are windows only
488[07:04:38] <Riku-D830> and don't run well on wine at all
510[07:09:27] <rant> hmm.. yes I suppose you'd have to hack
a bit to get that to work properly.. most things as I recall tend to
go to one screen only even when the desktop is stretched across
multiple screens
511[07:09:51] <rant> and the earliest game I recall having
support for 3 seperate displays was doom
513[07:10:23] <rant> but it was designed to output to different
screens, where you're talking a layer inbetween the game and
the system that does this automatically

that's almost as wide but it's about $1500
616[07:18:02] <Riku-D830> the original is something like 24MB
617[07:18:25] <rant> Riku-D830: thats kinda like cheating if you
play online with people who dont have that view.. though the gam has
to actuall zoom out the lens too.. Assault Cube did that.
663[07:31:14] <rant> not for simple 2d without backstore.. but
when gaming you have tons of offscreen buffers
664[07:31:20] <Riku-D830> maybe into the early 2000s if
you're using intel graphics
665[07:34:55] <rant> the only way you can render a 3d
environment with the ability to just move the mouse about panning
the camera is to have all that loaded already :P

673[07:54:02] <Riku-D830> FLAC files man
674[07:54:23] <rant> I never fooled with FLAC as most portables
don't support it
675[07:54:31] <Riku-D830> song I'm listening to is 34.6MB
676[07:54:54] <rant> I'd think with FLAC it'd be so
def you couldn't hear it :P
677[07:55:04] <Riku-D830> I run rockbox on my ipod classic with
a 500GB Samsung 850 EVO mSATA
679[07:56:02] <rant> hmm.. idk what happened to mine.. I broke
the small backlight cable taking it apart once cause the HDD came
unplugged.. but don't remember what I ever did with it
680[07:56:31] <Riku-D830> I filled the 160GB HDD pretty quickly
692[08:00:37] <Riku-D830> the battery life isn't as good
under rockbox and is even worse with the SSD though
693[08:01:18] <rant> yeah its not that simple with the itouch..
I had a 2nd and 3rd gen and managed to hack em, but where the rub
comes in is when you have something that the new version or a
program you want needs a newer IOS, you gotta go back to itunes and
it'll try lock you out again :P
695[08:01:54] <rant> really the only feature I found myself
wanting with the itouch was wireless sync with linux and not having
to use itunes to sync
696[08:01:59] <rant> other than that I loved it
697[08:02:57] <rant> those little things got me back into gaming
when I had em.. they're wonderful little gaming platforms.. I
even liked Madden on them and I hate Madden :P
707[08:10:03] <rant> I'm not much of a gamer. I like things
with quick gratification and easy to walk away from typically when
it comes to games.. and that itouch is the ADGD (Attention Deficit
Gamer Disorder :) dream
708[08:11:00] <rant> you can switch between games or turn it off
so easily and quickly and always come back right where you left
off.. IOS multitasked way better than android.
709[08:12:13] <rant> I also seen a lot of sales on the apple
store.. seemed like every weekend and even more so on holidays there
were games really cheap. I'd bought a buncha EA games around
Christmas for $0.99/ea
710[08:12:59] <Riku-D830> my 2DS has CFW on it so I may or may
not haved paid for the 100GB of games on it
711[08:13:18] <Riku-D830> *have
712[08:13:58] <rant> I thought about buying one of those DS back
in the day before all the new models came out.. cause at the time I
was looking for a decent mobile computing platform and it seemed
like promising hw to run linux on
719[08:17:34] <rant> I always hated using CDs for games..
Twisted Metal 2 you could play up to 8 players online but you only
needed 1cd for every 3 players
724[08:18:45] <rant> hmm.. was that on Debian or on Windows?
725[08:18:52] <Riku-D830> debian
726[08:19:11] <rant> cause I imagine you may need an emulator to
run old dos games on windows these days :P
727[08:19:27] <Riku-D830> 16-bit applications and 64-bit windows
don't mix
728[08:20:17] <Riku-D830> you can install a dos subsystem on
32-bit windows though but I don't think it has soundblaster
support or anything fun like that
729[08:20:22] <rant> I've seen Vista/7 a little bit.. never
even seen 8, and my mother has 10 on one of those touchscreen
desktop deals from HP.. I didnt like what I saw of it but
haven't actually used it myself
730[08:20:46] <Riku-D830> it's more a restriction of how
64-bit CPUs work
731[08:21:17] <Riku-D830> they can run in 16bit/32bit mode of
32bit/64bit mode and changing modes requires a power cycle
734[08:21:40] <rant> yeah well the dos has been gone since
WinNT.. XP was the last version to have something resembling old
DOS.. now they just have a cmd.exe that runs on top of explorer
735[08:22:03] <Riku-D830> I have used the dos subsystem on 32
bit windows 10 before
736[08:22:06] <rant> and I highly doubt its sufficient for most
dos games
737[08:22:13] <Riku-D830> even got windows 3.11 installed in it

couldnt find any drivers to get above 16 colors
743[08:23:13] <Riku-D830> same problem up to 98 there's no

those games
757[08:27:08] <rant> though on game I played a lot, supaplex the
developer released a speedfixed version.. though now there are other
game engines available like megaplex and such
758[08:27:22] <rant> I'm surprised nobody ever ported that
to linux.. it was a pretty cool game
930[10:46:52] <rant> anyone know of some trickery to select an
AP by MAC with n-m (applet) when you have multiple with the same

are called "xfinitywifi" but its getting too saturated
here and I just was unable to connect cause I had half a dozen of em
on channel 11, two were xfinitywifi others were various other
routers.
947[10:50:41] <rant> I want to at least be able to setup a
directional, point it somewhere and have it stay on that AP and not
to chose one I know wont work
948[10:50:43] <Codsworth> what about iwconfig ?
949[10:51:02] <rant> yes I know how to set it up manually.. I
was just wondering if I could do it with n-m or not
951[10:52:00] <rant> I like having the n-m applet to show me my
signal and use it to enable/disable my connection
952[10:52:11] <rant> I just dont like it thinking it knows
better than me which AP to connect to :P
953[10:52:31] <Codsworth> True...I someones have the same issue
and find it annoying
954[10:52:47] <rant> its usually not an issue for most folk as
ESSID are typically unique.. but in this case every f'n comcast
customer has a public hotspot called "xfinitywifi"
955[10:53:08] <Codsworth> many isps are doing that now
956[10:53:20] <Codsworth> but comcast is probably the worst with
that ssid
957[10:53:36] <rant> and I know which ones I can point a
directional at and get a reliable connection based on the other
signals around.. nm isnt taking this into account when selecting an
AP, its just going for the strongest signal which may cause me to
have to point my antenna into heavy congestion on the same channel

960[10:55:47] <rant> I live in a sparsely populated area of a
poor run down ghetto.. idk how people are still getting by in more
affluent areas where everyone has wifi.. there just isnt enough
bandwidth to go around.. a card can only calibrate a noise floor so
effeciently when you have half a dozen or more signals all on the
same channel
961[10:56:11] <BCMM> rant: would blacklisting the other APs
would be a workable solution?
964[10:56:31] <rant> and the 14 channels or so we have
aren't really helping because each channel overlaps 8 other
channels :P
965[10:57:01] *** debhelper sets mode: +l 1423
966[10:57:12] <rant> no blacklisting is worse than just setting
wireless-ap in the interfaces file and getting rid of n-m cause at
times I may need to switch to another one
967[10:57:38] <rant> though the one I've been using most
reliably is a business across the street.. the problems only occur
when someone in this building gets wifi
968[10:59:18] <rant> you'd think I'd get better signal
when someone right here has an AP but it doesnt work like that.. and
I think its not only due to channel congestion but also I think they
crank the power up on the hotspot side of the gateway because I
noticed when I was downtown I could get a signaat the popeyes
resturant from the grocery across the street and was on VOIP but as
I got closer to the grocery the signal cut out
969[10:59:36] <rant> its like these things only work at a
distance.. which likely means the transmit power is cranked way up

1028[11:43:53] <dracc> I'm trying to setup
autofs/samba/openLDAP on a server. I don't want TLS as
it's a closed environment and only for testing purposes.
I've tried disabling TLS both in ldap.conf, slapd.d,
smbldap.conf and smbldap_bind.conf . Still I get errors related to
starttls when trying to start smbd. What have I missed this time? :(
1112[12:42:23] <simpledat> or is apt-get remove enough?
1113[12:44:17] <rant> purge would only be necessary if you had
really old incompatible configs or something.. its mostly concerned
with you getting binaries and libs with the same name out of your
path
1114[12:45:48] <rant> this is not something we can support here
though and we'd encourage you to report issues on the BTS, get
them fixed, or try one of our other solutions like Gnome Boxes,

hosted with linode, while server which I'm telnetting from is
hosted by some other vps provider.
1238[14:27:55] <mpo> Well, why do you want to connect to these
machines via telnet? You already have an SSH-server active. SSH is
the recommended way to connect to remote machines. Telnet provides
absolutely no security, it transports usernames and passwords
unencrypted over the wire.
1254[14:47:26] <mpo> rant, well, we both see what kinds of
services are running on these machines now :)

even Net (the tiny puzzle game)
1332[15:18:04] <Nekophone> It seems that the KDE programs, like
Kate and Dolphin, don't, so it might be a GTK issue possibly?

be something in there if X doesn't start up
1336[15:19:38] <Nekophone> Rebooting should fix it

WHY?! :(
1630[19:07:41] <spigot> mid tmux session, the color has
disappeared from my prompt, and I feel silly not knowing what
happened :P apt hasn't touched anything in a while, color works
in ls and weechat, but my prompt just... as if my bash_profile
changed, just stopped being colored
1631[19:08:25] <somiaj> the prompt is controled by an enviroment
variable, just export that variable.
1632[19:09:03] <somiaj> as to why it isn't being read, but
.bash_profile is only read in login shells, interactive shells (such
as those in tmux) won't parse .bash_profile
1636[19:11:08] <spigot> so if the shells in tmux are using the
inherited environment variable that hasn't changed since the
login shell that contains the tmux process, then I'm even more
lost
1645[19:13:49] <spigot> so a different config file could have
been changed. that's disconcerting, without me knowing, that
something might have edited a startup file and changed my prompt :/

wonder what I need to set beside the address, gateway, and route in
order to proceed to the next insallation point?
1906[21:46:48] <oo_miguel> will I be prompted for hostname or
nameservers later?

always remmeber the commands so I want to create custop launchers to
launch them
1909[21:48:42] <rant> oo_miguel: no way to answer that without
knowing which point you are at.. but if you are using manual
commands you should probably not be using a step-by-step process
anyhow. There are steps that do all the network configuration though
and may overwrite anything you do
1910[21:49:15] <oo_miguel> configure the network fails
1911[21:49:29] <oo_miguel> and I want to procedd with set up
users and passowrds
1912[21:50:45] <rant> hiexpo: I understand.. I'm just saying
that if the alternatives isn't working you could just put the
name of the terminal in the command.. but I know Gnome 2.x (MATE)
anyhow has its own set of preferred applications, it doesnt
necessarily use alternatives to determine what to launch.. perhaps
what you are using does the same.. since you didnt specify, I just
gave you a solution that would work in any
1913[21:50:49] <oo_miguel> maybe it is better i try the expert
mode..
1914[21:50:52] <rant> environment
1915[21:51:17] <rant> oo_miguel: would probably be a good idea..
but some manner of Ctrl+C or hitting back on a step takes you to a
list of all the steps and lets you skip ahead
1916[21:51:33] <rant> don't recall exactly but I did it a
week or so ago when I installed
1917[21:51:36] <oo_miguel> yeah I skipped to the list in order to
config the network manuelly
1918[21:52:04] <oo_miguel> but I am afraid I did not configure
everything that the step I skip expects to configure :P
1919[21:52:22] <hiexpo> rant, I am using debian 9 mate
1920[21:52:43] <oo_miguel> ill try the expert mode. hope this
will ask me if I want to autoconfig
1921[21:52:47] <rant> heh.. well I think it sets the hostname
after the setting of all the other stuff but idk if its a seperate
step or not.. you'd know better than me if you're in the
installer now
1922[21:53:50] <rant> hiexpo: then yes, as I said MATE has a
preferred applications System > Preferences > Personal >
Preferred Applications on the System tab of that you'll see the
terminal
1924[21:54:44] <bites> oo_miguel: autoconfig is usually what it
does first. what kind computer is it? laptop with wlan? are you
missing firmware? is it an ethernet connection?
1925[21:54:45] <rant> that is where MATE looks to figure out what
applications to launch.. alternatives only works when you use
generic names like foo-aplication-program-dodad
1931[21:58:23] <rant> hiexpo: well technically your command as I
saw shouldnt open any terminal because you didnt tell it to.. unless
you checked something like "run in a terminal"
1934[22:00:00] <rant> I however don't do that.. I just make
a launcher and tell it my terminal as part of the command.. cause
first of all something like nmap typically just runs a command that
prints info then exits.. and this is going to result in a terminal
being opened then closing anyhow..

gnome, mate and xfce, fun :D
1937[22:00:38] <hiexpo> rant, okay I right click on desktop and
select create launcher in terminal than apply the command
1938[22:01:31] <rant> hiexpo: I also implore you to not only
consider my end-all suggestion of just changing the command itself
to have the terminal name rather than letting MATE decide the
terminal at all, but also to consider not using a terminal and
making use of a dialog utility like zenity, yad, or such to display
the info you want
1947[22:04:43] <alkisg> hiexpo: I just tried it in mate, sudo
update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator; and created a
launcher; and it opens e.g. with xterm, all work fine here
1949[22:06:23] <rant> hiexpo: apt-get install zenity, then just
do nmap | zenity --text-info, and it'll give you a scrollable
dialog with the output of nmap..
1956[22:11:57] <hiexpo> alkisg, okay yes it will always use
x-term try to change to a differant terminal and see it has now
switched to gnome terminal on mine since i needed gnome terminal and
i change it and nothing happens
