I've ever really used Apache for is hosting files locally, I
can see all the UPS info with the "apcaccess" command, so
I may not fool with screwing around with Apache.
109[01:52:47] <jrg> Gerowen: i wouldn’t either. it’s
usually easier to just hook the ups up to an appliance and let it
run upsd and have the other servers connect to it.

451[08:56:03] <finger> well I have a package called
"x-next" that depends on a specific version of
"x" (with Depends: x-next (= 123) ). Now if x if I have a
x version that is newer than 123 if I do apt-get install x-next I
get "x-next : Depends: x (= 123) but 124 is to be
installed". what I want is to install x-next with it's
dependecy at 123 and just ignore 124
455[08:58:24] <finger> I have tried this using 2 approaches. one
having an empty package x-next that depends on x with version=123,
and the second one having x version 123 provide x-next but none of
the versions work. any thoughts on what should I do with this? ( I
don't want to have 2 repos for this )

719[13:33:14] <dka> I want to configure the software RAID 1 on
Debian, I have two HD of the same size and I have tagged the two
hard drive for RAID 1. Can I create multiple volume from it ?
720[13:33:48] <ksk> no, why would you want to do that.
721[13:33:49] <dka> It seems like I can only have one volume
with one raid, while I expect to be able to have / , /home , /srv
and /opt on different volume
722[13:34:04] <dka> ksk , if I need to format debian, I do not
need to clean the /home /srv and /opt
723[13:34:15] <dka> Why would I not want to do that?
724[13:34:17] <ksk> dka: you are mixing things up. you can still
partition that raid1 volume to serveral partitions, or use LVM for
that
725[13:34:51] <ksk> if you wanted to create multiple raid
volumes, you would need multiple raids..
743[13:40:48] <jelly> dka: the conservative approach on linux is
indeed partitioning the disks in an identical layout and then
setting up raid1 arrays separately for each partition, including
/boot

783[14:10:34] <BCMM> jelly: ah thanks, i forgot there was
another bot and was looking at dpkg's docs. what's the
syntax to get it to speak in the channel, for questions like
tdn's?
809[14:24:44] *** Quits: zumba_ad_ (~zumba_add@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
810[14:27:44] <tdn> BCMM, ok. Thanks. So what is the recommended
approach when I am on stable? To just download the .deb from testing
and install it with dpkg -i?
813[14:28:39] <petn-randall> tdn: That's not a good way,
since the testing version is compiled against the libraries in
testing. The proper way is:
814[14:28:42] <petn-randall> !ssb
815[14:28:42] <dpkg> First, check for a backport on
<debian-backports>. If unavailable: 1) Add a deb-src line for
sid (not a deb line!); ask me about <deb-src sid> 2) enable
debian-backports (see <bdo>) 3) aptitude update; aptitude
install build-essential; aptitude build-dep packagename; apt-get -b
source packagename; 4) install the resultant debs. To change
compilation options, see <package recompile>; for versions
newer than sid see <uupdate>.
816[14:29:14] <BCMM> tdn: are you trying to run the x2go client
or server?
817[14:29:22] <tdn> BCMM, both.
818[14:29:29] <BCMM> petn-randall: why is it called
"ssb"?
829[14:31:10] <petn-randall> Kivaan: It's in the same
directory where you download the file, SHA512SUMS and SHA512SUMS.gpg
830[14:32:02] <tdn> dpkg, deb-src sid?
831[14:32:02] <dpkg> You can get apt to download source packages
with a <deb-src> line in your <sources.list>. A suitable
entry for the sid release is: "deb-src
replaced-url
837[14:33:51] <petn-randall> Kivaan: Where did you download it
from?
838[14:33:56] <tdn> BCMM, I am trying to do what petn-randall
said. I have added the deb-src for sid. But can only find source
package for x2goclient. Not server.
839[14:34:10] <petn-randall> EdePopede: You might want to add
some context, and ask an actual question.
840[14:34:12] <BCMM> tdn: did you do apt update?
841[14:34:16] <BCMM> (or aptitude, or apt-get)
842[14:34:33] <Kivaan> from the official site
843[14:34:36] <petn-randall> tdn: You're not following the
factoid.
844[14:34:38] <Kivaan> i am redownloading
845[14:34:54] <petn-randall> Kivaan: If the filesize is grossly
wrong, the download probably got aborted mid-way.
846[14:34:57] <tdn> BCMM, I did apt-get update
847[14:35:08] <tdn> petn-randall, I am not?
848[14:35:27] <EdePopede> *sigh* are the bot factoids available
on the web?
849[14:35:55] <BCMM> EdePopede: if you're worried about
spamming the channel, you can just /msg the bot
850[14:36:09] <tdn> BCMM, when I try to do the build, I get this
error: "E: Build command 'cd x2goclient-4.0.5.2 &&

852[14:36:34] <petn-randall> EdePopede: "/msg dpkg",
then just ask away without the ! infront of the factoid.
853[14:36:34] <EdePopede> BCMM: that's exactly what the
entrymsg says. i'm not new to irc....
854[14:36:37] <BCMM> found on google, haven't really tested
855[14:36:37] <tdn> BCMM, it *would* be nice to have the
factoids on web so that we could search them.
856[14:36:51] <Kivaan> i just redownloaded without a torrent
lets see what happens petn-randall
864[14:39:50] <tdn> BCMM, found out i had some missing deps and
got them. Build seems to ru nfine now for the client. But cannot
find the source package for the x2go server.
865[14:39:51] <petn-randall> EdePopede: It seems to me your
question got answered.
873[14:41:24] <BCMM> tdn: it sounds like you've somehow not
actually enabled sid source packages, and you're just
rebuilding the stable client package that's already available
in the repo
874[14:41:31] <tdn> BCMM, these are the only packages available
when I ru napt-cache search x2go:
replaced-url
875[14:41:48] <EdePopede> petn-randall. no. i asked a question.
you wanted me to "ask an actual question", whatever the
difference may be. i asked it in a more simple way. then i got some
answers not at all related to my question. or mostly one, but not
even this one added some info.
880[14:43:20] <tdn> BCMM, yeah, I had an error in my source
link. I now fixe that. and ran apt-get update. But still only these
packages are available now matching apt-cache search x2go:
replaced-url
882[14:43:58] <petn-randall> EdePopede: Take a look at your
initial message. Do you think anyone knows the context? It looks to
me like an error message of some sort. Where did you get it? What
are you trying to do? Those are the basic infos you should provide
to get answers in this channel.
883[14:44:09] <BCMM> tdn: i'm fairly sure that just
searches binary packages
884[14:44:52] <tdn> BCMM, ok. Package is called x2goserver?
888[14:45:23] <EdePopede> <search dpkg> <-- everyone
who is in this channel regularly should recognize this as the syntax
used by the bot in this channel with the name 'dpkg'
889[14:45:24] <tdn> I do have debhelper installed but not that
version
890[14:45:44] <petn-randall> EdePopede: Ok, let's move on.
Do you still have a Debian support question?
891[14:45:46] <EdePopede> do i really have to mention every step
i did until i got it?
892[14:46:31] <piklu> Is XFS better then LVM - so much that LVM
are not required ?
893[14:46:55] <tdn> piklu, depends on what you want. XFS can do
some of the things lvm can do
894[14:47:27] <Ool> piklu: you can put XFS on a LV
895[14:47:29] <FinalX> and LVM can do some things that XFS
can't do. We mostly use LVM and then create ext4 and XFS slices
from it
896[14:47:32] <EdePopede> i had one, to be exactly, i had some.
but now i am not even sure how to ask the correct way to get a real
answer instead of being bullied (if that's the correct term)
897[14:47:39] <piklu> Yes, Ideally we should put filesystem on
top of LVM
898[14:47:44] <FinalX> so what Ool said.. create an LV and put
XFS on that
899[14:48:05] <FinalX> also allows for easy resizing with LVM,
and then just xfs_growfs
900[14:48:06] <piklu> This guy put XFS directly on top of RAID
and I am confused when he defends it against LVM
901[14:48:23] <FinalX> they're not the same thing
902[14:48:45] <petn-randall> EdePopede: If you want to rant,
please do it somewhere else. You're not being bullied,
you're just being rude, which greatly reduces your chances
getting support in here.
903[14:49:06] *** Quits: fedorafan (~fedorafan@replaced-ip) (Quit: My MacBook has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…)
904[14:49:12] <petn-randall> EdePopede: And I'd hardly call
"please clarify your question" being bullied.
908[14:50:06] <at0m> no need to explain every step since the day
you got a computer, but relevant info would be usefull.
909[14:50:33] *** Quits: BCMM (~BCMM@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
910[14:50:39] <tdn> petn-randall, BCMM : I tried to do as the
factoid mentioned : added deb-src for sid. Did apt-get -b source
x2goserver, but it failed missing debhelper version >= 11. But I
have version 10.* installed on debian stable and v 11.* is not
available on debian stable. What to do?
911[14:50:41] <Ool> if you want just one huge part xfs directly
on the RAID volume is good, but If you need différents parts
on your RAID volume LVM seems to be easier (or if you're not
sure)
924[14:55:14] <EdePopede> ok. i had conversation with the bot
'dpkg'. one of the infos ended with 'Ask me about
<search dpkg>.' what i then did and this is how it
happened:
931[14:56:36] <EdePopede> part of the answer of the bot is a
.edu URL. The server seems down. no reaction on ping. is the bot
info outdated, should i try later, or are the factoids available
somewhere else?
932[14:56:51] <Kivaan> strange tho, the hashsums of the two
corrupter downlaods dont match too. can anyone help?
936[14:58:29] <petn-randall> EdePopede: As I said, you can just
query the bot via IRC. That's the recommended method. According
to the timestamp on the factoid, it was last updated in 2010, so the
web mirror might have been gone for a long time already. I'll
ping the bot owner to see where the mirror went.
937[14:58:45] <petn-randall> Likely there is no current mirror,
and the factoid just needs updating.
940[15:01:31] <EdePopede> petn-randall: thank you, now
that's one of the possible reaction i was hoping for.
941[15:02:51] <EdePopede> /msg'ing, ok. only advantage of a
list still is that i gives an overview in relation to related stuff.
which brings me to the problem that actually brought me here today:
942[15:04:07] <petn-randall> EdePopede: `/listkeys
<string>` allows you to search the database.
943[15:04:35] <petn-randall> Ok, so your *actual* question was
"How can I search the factoid database".
944[15:05:02] <jasabella> hmmm how can i disable
systemd-resolved?
947[15:05:53] <jasabella> but when i run systemd-resolve
--status, it's started up again
948[15:06:08] <EdePopede> i was looking for some reverse
dependencies. `apt rdepends`. i was trying to get some help to this
command, but `man apt` is quite short, but i remembered i could ask
for `man apt-FOO` in question to `apt FOO`. google came up with
something to `apt-rdepends` so i tried to find it, whether installed
or not [1/2]
950[15:06:56] <jasabella> apt-cache and aptitude have rdepends
951[15:07:21] <FinalX> jasabella: with disable it shouldn't
be starting up again, by itself, though. if you're going to use
systemd-resolve, then of course it'll start it again, because
it needs it. avoid using that tool if you don't want it :)
952[15:07:59] <jasabella> FinalX… it should just tell me
it's not started and doesnt this defeat the purpose of masking
a service?!
953[15:08:25] *** Quits: Madda (~Madda@replaced-ip) (Quit: My MacBook has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…)
954[15:08:31] <jasabella> i just want the status, not to start
it up!
955[15:09:12] <EdePopede> `dpkg -l 'apt*'` only gives
me 7 hits, 3 of them installed (so it doesn't look like a tool
to list only installed packages). `apt-cache search apt | grep ^apt`
should LOTS more entries, but only name and short description, at
least including `apt-rdepends`. is there a apt-tool doing what `dpkg
-l` does, but for all available packages?
956[15:09:57] <jasabella> apt search '^apt'
957[15:10:08] <EdePopede> jasabella: i actually used aptitude
before the upgrade, and since it wasn't installed per default
and it looks like a frontend i try to live without it for the moment
958[15:10:21] <Fox> petn-randall: do you think we can say this
is up2date ?
replaced-url
966[15:13:53] <petn-randall> EdePopede: In general,
'dpkg' only acts on your local package database, not on
what is available from the repositories. 'apt-cache
search' is for searching package names, and 'apt-file
search' will search for packages that contain this filename.
967[15:14:33] <themill> Fox: depends what you mean by
"up-to-date"
968[15:14:46] <themill> it has the same database as the dpkg
bot, if that's what you want
970[15:16:12] <EdePopede> petn-randall: that's what i read
everywhere (also manpage) and now i know it. but then it
shouldn't list aptitude, or was it installed whily building up
the iso? that is what is completely irritating me.
971[15:16:32] <themill> EdePopede: what's the full line?
972[15:17:09] <EdePopede> dpkg -l 'apt*'
973[15:17:09] <dpkg> No packages found matching 'apt*'
974[15:17:13] <EdePopede> argh
975[15:17:19] <themill> Also, you might be looking for apt-cache
search --names-only
976[15:17:54] <Fox> themill: that's what I wanted to know
yes, thx
977[15:17:55] <petn-randall> EdePopede: IIRC `dpkg -l` will only
list packages that are or were installed on the system before.
978[15:18:01] <EdePopede> uh, looks like the list i grep'd
before
981[15:18:24] <EdePopede> so the iso team used aptitude, aha :)
982[15:18:35] <themill> tasksel uses aptitude

a job to crontab on log in?
989[15:19:56] <omarek> jasabella: and remove it on log out?
1016[15:31:11] <omarek> petn-randall: Do I type "several GUI
apps for periodically running jobs" into the search box? I had
trouble coming up with the right Google terms to find, so I came
here.
1017[15:31:38] <omarek> 95% of what I find is cron references,
and cron is not quite what I need.
1018[15:32:17] <petn-randall> omarek: "break reminder",
though you might want to search the web to find a list of names.
1019[15:32:40] <petn-randall> I recall one that had a coffe
related name, "coffee timer" or something.
1027[15:42:47] <omarek> I think I'm having more fun figuring
out the syntax of 'at'
1028[15:42:53] <omarek> and 'notify-send'.
1029[15:44:00] <greycat> If the man page for 'at'
isn't clear enough, there's also the POSIX spec for it:
replaced-url
1030[15:45:35] <EdePopede> there's also teatime. and
personally i'd probably write a small script for conky.

1130[16:56:15] <wowas> the old ifup uses ifconfig, the new one ip
1131[16:56:39] <EdePopede> is there a reason why these have been
kept back all the time?: linux-headers-amd64 linux-image-amd64 --
pretty sure i didn't change anything and i don't seem to
have packages on hold. versions found with apt-cache are
4.9+80+deb9u5 (reported as installed by dpkg -l) and 4.9+80+deb9u6.
1139[16:57:27] <Habbie> read carefully before you hit Yes
1140[16:57:39] <Fox> upgrade doesn't install new
dependencies
1141[16:57:42] <EdePopede> i installed 9.5 to an empty disk just
a few weeks ago
1142[16:57:46] <petn-randall> EdePopede: Those are meta-packages
that depends on the latest version. They'll only get removed if
you ask apt to do it.
1143[16:57:57] *** Quits: mibo (~mibo@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
1144[16:58:19] <petn-randall> Oh, you mean upgrade? You'll
need to run `apt upgrade`, or `apt-get dist-upgrade`.
1145[16:58:57] <EdePopede> in /var/cache/apt/archives i have
linux-image-4.9.0-7-amd64_4.9.110-3+deb9u2_amd64.deb (not the
'u2', same for headers; other linux* packages are
'u4')
1146[16:59:41] <greycat> you want "apt upgrade" or
"apt-get dist-upgrade" or "apt-get install
linux-image-amd64" to get the new pacakge(s)
1147[16:59:51] <greycat> "apt-get upgrade" will not
install new packages
1148[16:59:52] <EdePopede> petn-randall: i really *never* did a
dist-upgrade, or similar things on linux or windows or even dos. my
systems always were presented with a clean disk
1154[17:01:51] <EdePopede> i was wondering back to the day i
installed 9.5 and did my first `apt-get update && apt-get
upgrade` that they were hold back. what is the situation, i mean, i
fetched the iso, put it on a stick and installed from there (and
then the update to be on newest versions)
1155[17:02:07] <greycat> you want "apt upgrade" or
"apt-get dist-upgrade" or "apt-get install
linux-image-amd64" to get the new pacakge(s)
1156[17:02:11] <greycat> "apt-get upgrade" will not
install new packages
1157[17:02:41] <EdePopede> ah, the apt* confusion. been used to
aptitude for this job. brb.
1159[17:03:08] <rootkea> Hello! I'm using Debian Stretch.
`systemd-resolve --status` shows Google DNS servers in Global
section. Please see the complete o/p here:
replaced-url
1181[17:10:27] <rootkea> I am using Xubuntu 18.04 alongside
Debian and the systemd-resolved doesn't show Google DNS servers
there. May I get a link or something shedding more light on this
Debian built-in fallback thing?
1183[17:11:09] <petn-randall> rootkea: It might be a version
thing. I recall that it was criticized on the mailing list. Maybe
they removed the fallback again.
1185[17:11:32] <EdePopede> ok, what happened now? i have
/var/cache/apt/archives open with linux*deb9u* tagged. 2x6 files
because 2 update occasions. while apt was running i had some more,
now the new ones have disappeared from there? does it mean that
`apt-get ugrade` will leave new packages alone after install while
`apt upgrade` will autoremove them?
1186[17:12:35] <EdePopede> is it because of
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels?
1187[17:12:55] <greycat> Yes, "apt upgrade" will remove
the files that it downloaded, unless you change the config.
1188[17:13:09] <greycat> "apg-get upgrade" leave them
alone
1196[17:16:10] <EdePopede> so from 4.9.0-7 to 4.9.0-8 is
considered a *new package* while the step from
linux-image-4.9.0-7-amd64_4.9.110-3+deb9u1_amd64.deb to
linux-image-4.9.0-7-amd64_4.9.110-3+deb9u2_amd64.deb is not?
1218[17:31:50] <rootkea> Hello! I'm using Debian 9 along
side Xubuntu 18.4. I can perfectly use the Internet using my
phone's (Android) wireless hotspot on Xubuntu screenshot
(ifconfig etc):
replaced-url
1219[17:31:55] <rootkea> What am I missing?
1220[17:32:48] <rootkea> The only difference between both the
systems (which I could found) is in /etc/resolv.conf
1221[17:33:25] <rootkea> For Xubuntu /etc/resolv.conf has
nameserver 127.0.0.53 in it
1223[17:34:20] <rootkea> And for Debian 9 /etc/resolv.conf has
`nameserver 192.168.46.x` (can't remember exactly. Have to
connect to the hostpot and go offline) in it.
1224[17:34:26] <mason> Is there a clean way to have a laptop (one
eth, one wlan) have both participate in a bridge but bring up the
bridge with only one or the other bridge ports turning itself on?
Would "ifup br0=foo" be a reasonable way to do this, or is
there a better way?
1227[17:35:17] * rootkea going offline to check the dynamic entry in
/etc/resolv.conf
1228[17:35:18] <mason> I'm not wholly opposed to doing it
with NetworkManager if that's the most sensible way, but
I'm curious how other folks would do it.
1229[17:35:32] <mason> My initial desire is to do it with
ifupdown.
1235[17:40:52] <annadane> if i were to purge an old kernel, where
in the filesystem hierarchy are those configs stowed?
1236[17:41:19] <mason> jhutchins_wk: Does it handle this
situation smoothly? I'm comfortable setting up bridging with NM
but I've not tried to set up a bridge where only one bridge
port will be selected at a time, manually.
1237[17:41:33] <EdePopede> from `man apt`: "All features of
apt(8) are available in dedicated APT tools like apt-get(8) and
apt-cache(8) as well." -- so i really could have used apt-get
to get the new kernel?
1238[17:42:12] <greycat> As I said multiple times, you can use
"apt-get dist-upgrade".
1239[17:42:33] <mason> jhutchins_wk: Which is to say, I can see a
path to doing this via ifupdown, but I'm not clear on how else
to arrange it.
1244[17:44:35] <rootkea> After connecting to an Android wireless
hotspot, Ubuntu 18.04 sets `nameserver `127.0.0.53` in
/etc/resol.conf whereas Debian Stretch sets `nameserver
192.168.43.1` in /etc/resolv.conf. This makes all the networking
tools (ping, wget, firefox etc) in Debian to time out failing name
resolution. What am I missing?
1245[17:44:50] <annadane> for example i see /etc has /etc/kernel
but not /etc/linux-image-4.9.0-7, /etc/linux-image-4.9.0-8, etc
1246[17:44:57] <mason> rootkea: That 127.0.0.53 is
systemd-networkd at work.
1247[17:45:28] <annadane> i can move to the other #debian if
other people have more urgent questions and it becomes spammy
1248[17:45:36] *** Quits: Haudegen (~quassel@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
1249[17:45:36] <EdePopede> greycat: is dist-upgrade not for
system upgrade as from 8 to 9? as i said, never did this
1250[17:46:45] <greycat> It is ALSO for getting new packages that
are required for security updates, including kernel ABI bumps.
1260[17:50:35] <rootkea> mason, systemctl shows that
systemd.resolved.service is enabled on both Ubuntu as well as
Debian. Still why Debian doesn't have 127.0.0.53 like Ubuntu in
/etc/resol.conf More importantly, how do I make the name resolution
to work? As mentioned earlier, all the networking tools are timing
out.
1261[17:50:36] <EdePopede> (apache2 installed, getting pandoc,
hmmm... some kind of lightweight wiki for short notes taken with vim
or so on the wishlist)
1264[17:52:58] <rootkea> Interestingly, for USB tethering Debian
(and Ubuntu) puts `nameserver 192.168.42.129` in /etc/resolv.conf
and name resolution works! (That's how I'm using Internet
in Debian now)
1265[17:53:08] <mason> rootkea: I've not mapped all that out
in my head yet. My answer has been to rip out pieces until the
127.0.0.53 bit goes away.
1266[17:53:23] *** Joins: Madda (~Madda@replaced-ip)
1267[17:54:32] <rootkea> mason, Ah.. sorry, if I wasn't
clear before. 127.0.0.53 is in Ubuntu (which I don't really
care) Debian has 192.168.43.1 and the name resolution doesn't
work for the same wireless hotspot.
1290[18:04:39] <annadane> which makes sense for kernels
1291[18:04:46] <annadane> i don't know why i didn't
think of that
1292[18:06:10] <mason> jhutchins_wk: Not to pester you, but you
were implying that NM could handle varying bridge port interfaces
intelligibly... I'm not finding docs that I presume exist, and
I'd be grateful if you could follow up on this.
1293[18:06:56] <jhutchins_wk> mason: I was just referring to the
fact that NM is the tool designed to manage changing network
interfaces.
1296[18:07:44] <jhutchins_wk> mason: Bridging may not be included
in what it's meant to handle.
1297[18:07:52] <mason> jhutchins_wk: Agreed. And it does a decent
job managing bridges. But this notion of alternative bridge ports
seems feasible with ifupdown logical interfaces, and I'm
curious about how to tactically manage it otherwise.
1298[18:08:06] <mason> Oh, it does okay with bridging. I've
just got an odd case for it. :)
1299[18:08:07] <jhutchins_wk> You might in fact be better off
managing it manually.
1324[18:23:27] <rydare> lord_rob: you would probably have to
install it in Wine or a virtual machine, Microsoft doesn't
generally make their products available for Linux
1342[18:25:41] <kirk781> Nice to see MS opening up to cross
platform programming
1343[18:25:44] <greycat> Pretend for a moment that we're in
a Linux-based OS's IRC channel and that we have no idea what
"Visual Studio Code" is or how that's different from
"Visual Studio".
1363[18:32:47] <EdePopede> for reasons(tm) i used skype for some
years, then they stopped linux development. tried the electron
version and wiped it from disk even before login. i should have
known better, having looked at fritz or franz or what this electron
based multimessenger is called.
1368[18:35:36] <ashleyk__> i mean microsoft, same difference
1369[18:36:07] <ashleyk__> they bought it to add the supernodes
for collecting everyones data...this is why you can become rich by
making anonymous or secure chat applications, they will always buy
them
1375[18:37:58] *** Quits: jfoy (~jfoy@replaced-ip) (Quit: My MacBook has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…)
1376[18:38:01] <Butt3rfly> you're bill gates?
1377[18:38:33] <kirk781> I remember when Skype existed in three
forms-> there was the classic Skype for Windows, the new modern
Skype for Windows/Windows Phone and integrated Skype functionality
present in Windows Phone's Messages app[which was deleted
later]
1436[19:19:27] <mason> jhutchins_wk: FWIW, I'm having a time
of it trying to shim wpa_supplicant into the bridging process with
ifupdown, and so far it's winning. Doing it for real by hand
might be the option, but I'll give it a try with NM too to see
if it compartmentalizes it better.
1473[19:50:13] <greycat> Well, just picking one script at random,
/etc/network/if-up.d/openssh-server references the variables
"IFACE", "MODE" and "ADDRFAM". Not
sure how many other variables there are.
1476[19:51:52] <greycat> Ah, the variables are listed in
interfaces(5).
1477[19:52:07] *** Quits: bassil (uid143807@replaced-ip) (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
1478[19:52:12] *** Quits: electro33 (uid613@replaced-ip) (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
1479[19:52:59] <greycat> If you want to react when the interface
is given an IP address by a DHCP server, then why not use a dhclient
hook?
1480[19:53:34] <greycat> If the IP address isn't coming from
a DHCP server in the first place, then you don't need a SCRIPT
to do any of this -- just write your ip route command directly.
1627[21:59:52] <JyZyXEL> how do i apt-get install old versions of
a packages that aren't in my apt cache anymore?
1628[22:00:29] <greycat> If it's still in the mirrors, you
just --reinstall. If it's no longer in the mirrors, you may
have to download it manually from snapshot.
1661[22:17:00] <dpkg> Please do not ask if anyone can help you,
knows 'something' or uses 'some_program'.
Instead, ask your real question. (If the real question _was_
"does anyone use 'some_program'?" ask me about
<popcon> instead.) See <ask> <ask to ask>
<polls> <search> <sicco> <smart questions>.
1665[22:19:07] <mspe> sorry; I clearly remember using both file
and http protocols in jessie, but when I used lxc-create today at
work with stretch, crashes when I use file protocol, but works well
through http serving those exact same mirrors
1666[22:19:49] <mspe> it pretends not finding stretch release in
the mirror, but works well when I use http
1667[22:21:47] <mspe> “Invalid release stretch (not found
in mirror)”
1687[22:47:27] <inquisitiv3> How do I reply to a mail thread on
debian-user? I haven't subscribed to the list and would like to
reply to a mail that hasn't been sent to me personally.
1758[23:38:21] <misirk85> yes, i was talking about this issue on
fb group, and guys told me tar it is simple format without service
integrity check etc
1759[23:39:00] <annadane> well, maybe. i guess it really depends
on the files in question
1760[23:39:52] <annadane> i don't know enough about tar to
state one way or another with 100% certainty that you can't use
checksums on it
1761[23:40:03] <annadane> i'll shut up now and let someone
else answer
1762[23:40:36] <ashleyk> it will error if its corrupted unless
someone corrupted it in a specific way on purpose
1763[23:40:46] <ashleyk> which would probably be complicated
1764[23:41:59] <misirk85> so i should not trust tar format when i
dont have primary control sum?
1766[23:43:43] <annadane> i mean, the point of using hashes and
checksums is to be able to validate, and we don't know where
you found this tar, just that you stated it's been lying around
for a few years, and we don't know what it is, but it would
tend to defeat the point of security if you had something there in
the first place and now no longer have it
1770[23:46:46] <annadane> it's a generic question concerning
a tar file you have on your computer lying around, it depends on
what it is, how important it is to you, what's your threat
model, and so on
1771[23:46:47] <misirk85> i would like make pack my personal data
to tar and store for long time, and i think what is better clean tar
or tar.xz or 7z, and i collect information and opinion about this
file formats
1772[23:47:36] <annadane> oh, so it's not an existing tar?
you're asking how to make your own and set up something to
validate?
1773[23:47:55] <annadane> that's a different question, then
1774[23:48:21] <annadane> sorry, i may have assumed a little bit
1775[23:48:36] <annadane> anyone else know enough about the tar
format to answer misirk85?
1776[23:48:36] <misirk85> i have previous tar, 60 GB and unpack
its right but i dont check all files and i thing about future
1777[23:49:15] <annadane> right. if there was some kind of
security and the thing to check it is no longer there then it'd
defeat the point of ever having it
1778[23:50:21] <ashleyk> nothing to do with security
1779[23:50:42] <annadane> this is from 8 years ago, but
replaced-url
1780[23:50:47] <ashleyk> its integrity
1781[23:50:51] <annadane> well, personal security, security of
data
1782[23:50:55] <annadane> integirty, right
1783[23:51:14] <ashleyk> tar is going to extract fine unless you
corrupt it
1784[23:51:32] <annadane> OH. right. i'm so sorry.
1785[23:51:35] <ashleyk> dont even use an archive if you are
worried about corruption though
1786[23:51:37] <annadane> yeah, ashley's right
1787[23:52:27] <ashleyk> you can use an archive if you have it
stored on redundant storage i guess
1788[23:52:39] <ashleyk> otherwise you have a single point of
failure being the corruption of the tar file
