24[00:29:04] <akem-hp> Hey, where can i get a Debian sarge ISO
image with a "full" shell access? cause the netinstall
only has busybox when i do alt+FX and i don't even have access
to /dev/hda etc.
37[00:38:33] <akem-hp> HeXiLeD I think it won't work for
my old version, it's 2.4X kernel i think with old grub1 ext2
etc :/ but thanks anyway - i already try to fix it from another Live
disk it didn't work.
50[00:44:42] <noln> cannot execute binary file? check that the
live cd has the same architecture as the installed system - an i386
kernel won't run amd64 executables
54[00:46:10] <noln> also check /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys are
bind-mounted in the chroot (--bind --make-rprivate if the live dvd
is recent enough), but that should not raise the mentioned error
message
59[00:49:02] <akem-hp> noln, both x86, it's in Limbo
emulator on Android and i need something light otherwise it's
too slow, i tried with DSL 4.1 i think.

61[00:49:53] <akem-hp> noln, but thanks for the info, i look
more into it if i got the error again, i got to reinstall because of
some disk drive error now...it will be easier.
78[00:58:33] <noln> akem-hp, yw. There are other projects if
that doesn't work. It's going to be slow because proot
basically asks the kernel to report back on every syscall, so it can
lie to the program about the root directory.
81[00:59:30] <noln> It's going to be different than a real
chroot, where the deceiving takes place in-kernel without going
back-and-forth to proot. But chroot is privileged, so a chroot-based
solution would at least require rooting
88[01:02:13] <akem-hp> noln, i see, it works here, i installed
some package. I can root my device, but i need to keep it not rooted
for some apps to works (bank, snapchat) - i know there are some
cloaks or tricks but it's annoying and it may not work next
update.

689[10:25:01] <diogenes_> Hello guys, i have this strange issue
with dns on mobile broadband device, in the networkmanager IPv4
settings i setup Method: Automatic, addresses only and DNS servers
9.9.9.9, 149.112.112.112 i applied the changes, restarted
neworkmanager and resolv.conf shows my 9.9.9.9, 149.112.112.112 and
everything works fine but after reboot, it applies the default DNS
provided by the ISP which is slow as hell, it overwrites resol.conf
but, if i do a quick
690[10:25:01] <diogenes_> disconnect and connect the network,
then my 9.9.9.9, 149.112.112.112 comes back, same settings work
flawlessly with ethernet, it doesn't overwrite resolv.conf on
reboot, the problem is only with mobile broadband connection, does
anyone have any idea how can i fix this?
705[10:30:39] <dstaring> diogenes_: I can't even get the
most basic, easy-to-help-with questions/problems answered/resolved;
your problem seems to be highly involved and stands no chance of
getting answered. :/
706[10:31:54] <diogenes_> dstaring, i don't understand what
you mean? you mean i didn't explain it well or what?
709[10:33:28] <dstaring> diogenes_: No, I meant that I myself
have a lot of questions all the time which are much easier to help
with/answer, but they (as in not just this room, but in general on
IRC and Stack Exchange and whatnot) still don't/can't
answer them.
711[10:33:46] <dstaring> diogenes_: I know it's not
helpful, but I just had to point it out.
712[10:35:14] <diogenes_> dstaring, i actually discovered a
dirty brute force way to make it work by making a file with my
desired nameservers in /usr/lib/systemd/ and symlink it to
resolv.conf, and it applies globally but i thought maybe someone has
a more elegant approach.
717[10:40:14] <dstaring> In a lot of ways, IRC today seems to be
almost a big cruel joke.

now, but in general, this is really how I feel. I can't tell
you how many questions I've spent forever typing out only to
never have them seen/answered.
721[10:41:27] <diogenes_> dstaring, well i was helped many times

737[10:49:26] <ratrace> hi all. been away from irc for a while,
though i'd pop by with upgrade to buster. i see the channel is
still going strong. awesome!
742[10:53:30] <antto> in my debian9 here, in "Installed
(local or obsolete)" i got just one package - quake3-data .. i
installed this manually via some tutorial.. will i have issues with
upgrading to debian10 with this?
757[11:06:22] <Ede|Popede> antto: did you install it into dpkg
controlled area? then theoretically it *may* clash with what 10 will
bring, but i don't think so, it may be too specific. especially
since it is the data package, levels, graphics and the like i guess,
so it all should be in appropriate subdirectories (in short: i see a
bigger risk with packages containing executables)
758[11:07:27] <Ede|Popede> antto: especially since such a
package doesn't seem to exist in dpkg's database. you
still could check with `dpkg -L quake3-data` for a list of files
just to feel safe.
759[11:07:59] <antto> Ede|Popede it doesn't come from
debian, it is the game data "pak3.pak" or whatever, from
quake3, iirc i used some gate-data-packager tool to turn this
pak3.pak into a debian package in order to install it, i think with
gdebi
760[11:08:32] <antto> there are no executibles since it uses the
openarena or ioquake3 "engine" to run it
761[11:09:01] *** debhelper sets mode: +l 1520
762[11:10:23] <Ede|Popede> antto: never used such tools, planned
to have a look at them anyway with buster. but usually i don't
even bother repackaging such things (eg newest firefox or youtube-dl
with its usually at least 2 updates per week), i always could throw
them into /usr/local until now without any problems
772[11:15:06] <Ede|Popede> dstaring: i collected a rather big
bag uf unanswered question over time, but also a lot of others had
been answered. sometimes there's simply noone around who knows
the answer for your particular situation, at least you don't
seem to be one of those users quitting 10 minutes after their
initial question ;)
781[11:17:05] <dstaring> Ede|Popede: I mean, it *happens* that
questions do get answered, but it's really a low ratio.
782[11:17:42] <Ede|Popede> heh. gotta see if i can get quake
somewhere, found half life 2 and 1602 for 2€ each i think in a
social shop. so this is a starter script and even the engine is
included, only the game data must be there? sounds fair.
783[11:17:44] <dstaring> It's so frustrating when nobody
seems to be alive on IRC and the Stack Exchange questions have 0

say, but something always kept me away to create an account. usually
i get search engined there, and too often i see either "this is
not a question" or "blocked by community". if they
don't want this stuff to be used they should hide it from
googlebot&co. they wanted to build up a Q&A section based on
good answeres to frequent questions some years ago (redacting a
selection isn't a bad idea either) but the
811[11:29:03] <dstaring> Ede|Popede: They are fanatic about
censoring any question that they don't like, yes. It's a
nightmare trying to abide by their rules.

literally don't know about anything else.
813[11:29:25] <dstaring> Other than IRC, which is hopeless for
any complex question 99% of the time.
814[11:29:32] <dstaring> And by "complex", I mean
"not very complex at all".
815[11:29:46] <antto> "aptitude search
'~i(!~ODebian)'" indeed lists only this package
quake3-data
816[11:30:10] <Ede|Popede> irc has its technical (not IT, but
workflow) limits, it is more a overcrowded pub than anything else
817[11:30:16] <antto> so, i should remove it, according to the
upgrade guide: "It is a good idea to remove obsolete packages
from your system before upgrading."
818[11:30:18] <dstaring> Quake 3 is too modern. Even 2 is. The
original Quake had some nice atmosphere and visuals and stuff,
though.
820[11:30:44] <dstaring> Ede|Popede: I have a constant nagging
feeling that I'm fundamentally missing something.
821[11:31:11] <dstaring> I think it's common even for geeks
to have some sort of "network" of people who they
privately talk to and ask for advice, but I never managed to build
such a thing.
822[11:31:17] <dstaring> Which is strange since I'm so
loveable...
823[11:32:01] <Ede|Popede> antto: you could. wouldn't harm.
and then reinstall when you got buster running. (and i'd still
advice not to throw files into dpkg land from 3rd parties, even if
only to avoid a possible name clash in the future. wasn't also
some other software name quake?)

some point people may build up other networks. or better, they
connect to others, the networks grow up dynamically.

1207[15:00:31] <jelly> mrig, you'll want to enable i386 as
foreign architecture.
1208[15:00:47] <jelly> !multiarch
1209[15:00:47] <dpkg> Multiarch allows you to install foreign
architecture packages. For example, to allow i386 packages to be
installed on an amd64 system: «dpkg --add-architecture i386

1242[15:08:46] <mrig> na, will dump it before doing that, I am
not about to change os for the software, has worked fine up till
now. I will try installing multi architecture support, that does
ring a bell as something that I may have over looked here.

1284[15:43:45] <derf_> hey all, im having trouble opening a txt
file from my debian buster gnome. Im using linux for about 3 weeks
now. checked the internet - installed gnome-tweaks and managed to
copy my file to my desktop. But i cannot open it.
1288[15:44:57] <derf_> but not when i double click on the file,
an texteditor is installed and when i open the same file from almost
any other dir it works
1297[15:50:21] <derf_> ayekat, when i right-click to get a
context menu it shows the context menu with abit more options then
without the gnome tweaks extension called "Desktop Icons"
1353[16:15:30] <ayekat> you probably did something else in
between, then
1354[16:15:49] <ayekat> but yeah, if `note` there is
`text/plain`, this looks fine
1355[16:16:16] <ayekat> (although - I'd make it only
writable for yourself, and read-only for others, i.e. -rw-r--r--)
1356[16:16:44] <ayekat> that's also the default for newly
created files, unless you've fiddled around with umask (but I
think you would know if you had)

1451[17:07:48] <inerkick> HI guys. I just installed Debian 9.9 on
my 32 bit machine . I don't have wifi drivers, I tried to
install network-manager to pick my smartphone hotspot, but it's
not working out. Kindly help
1459[17:10:08] <somiaj> inerkick: most likely you are missing the
non-free firwmare for your card
1460[17:10:38] <inerkick> yes, i tried to install too somiaj
lesta with this, downloaded all the packages too but it isn't
working
replaced-url
1461[17:10:42] <somiaj> inerkick: what card is it, so you can
identify what firmware you need (or look at dmesg | grep -i
firmware). You may need to manually copy over the firmware to get it
up.
1462[17:11:21] <somiaj> you didn't state what card or
firmware you tried, it has to match. You could also just use the
unoffical firmawre installer
1464[17:11:24] <vlt> Hello. Is it possible to update from Debian
8 directly to 10 or should I go to 9 first?
1465[17:11:32] <somiaj> vlt: you have to go through 9 first
1466[17:11:37] <inerkick> ok
1467[17:11:43] <inerkick> wait will check somiaj
1468[17:12:04] <somiaj> vlt: upgrade scripts are only designed to
do one release at a time, also due to transtional packages and so
forth, you need to upgrade one release at a time
1469[17:12:44] <vlt> somiaj: Ok, I’ll do that. Thank you!
1523[17:41:52] <brontosaurusrex> It appears as if
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfreetype.la is missing from Buster
(Compared to Stretch), would that be a bug?
1524[17:42:47] <inerkick> ok . Earlier I was trying these were
the drivers ,
replaced-url
1532[17:45:51] <dpkg> b43 is a Linux kernel driver supporting
PCI/PCIe wireless LAN devices with Broadcom chips. Firmware is
required, ask me about <b43-fwcutter> to provide.
replaced-url
1533[17:45:53] *** Joins: Immanuel (~Manu@replaced-ip)
1534[17:46:19] <jelly> !b43-fwcutter
1535[17:46:20] <dpkg> Device firmware required by the <b43>
and <b43legacy> drivers is proprietary and unable to be
distributed by the Debian Project. The b43-fwcutter utility
(packaged in contrib) can extract this firmware from Broadcom's
binary drivers. Debian packages to download, extract and install
firmware are available; ask me about <contrib> and use
«apt-cache search firmware-b43» to list.
replaced-url
1536[17:46:56] <jelly> inerkick, I have no idea whether the info
above is accurate. See the wiki link as well
1537[17:47:09] <inerkick> ok
1538[17:47:22] <jelly> not even firmware images will have
firmware for that wifi.
1539[17:47:39] <jelly> your wired eth probably ought to Just
Work.
1540[17:47:46] <somiaj> brontosaurusrex: my guess is it is a
change in the libaryies use of libtool, I can't find any
changelog info about the change, but I agree that for some reason
the file was removed/nolonger generated by libtool between stretch
and buster.
1541[17:48:44] <jelly> inerkick, so if you get somewhere with
WIRED internet access you might be able to download all the other
stuff needed to make wireless working
1542[17:49:15] <somiaj> inerkick: having a wired network (or even
usb device) to connect to the internet to install the firmware is
the easiest way. Debian has scripts that do all the work, provided
you have an internet connection.
1544[17:49:40] <somiaj> I have had to manually use fw-cutter and
it is a pain, from manually downloading the windows driver, to
actually using the command and copying the firmwaer to the right
spot.
1545[17:49:47] <inerkick> i tried with b43-fwcutter bhut
didn't work
1546[17:50:20] <somiaj> well you have to follow a chain of
instructions, including downloding the correct windows driver to
cut.
1580[18:00:28] <zerocool> i tripple checked all the MACs line up,
that's not it... someone on reddit has mentioned needing to
reconfigure... i'll get the link
1590[18:03:11] <ayekat> zerocool: are you using dhclient directly
or with ifupdown?
1591[18:03:11] <zerocool> yeah so i went to dhcp and looked at
the address that it IS getting (not in reservations) and the unique
id shows a super long string... i have disabled this in that config
though... i think, i did it with sed maybe i didn't actually
match
1592[18:03:24] <zerocool> ayekat: i was using it directly

1597[18:05:28] <ayekat> actually no, windows DHCP servers *can*
handle DUIDs - but probably it has reserved the slot for your

1628[18:11:49] <ayekat> unfortunately I'm not familiar with
ifupdown and dhclient, so I'm not sure how to debug that (I
assume that dhclient is invoked in a way that it exits after getting
an IP lease, so you probably can't see with what options
ifupdown invokes it)
1657[18:30:18] <karlpinc> zerocool: If you tell the interfaces
file to use dhcp ifup/down will run dhclient. You _could_ help
debugging by tcpdump-ing the traffic. But really you'd want to
look at the logs on the dhcp server to see why it is doing what it
is doing.

shouldn't just leave it because i understand and appreciate the
pros of getting away from a mac, and i like to stick with the
defaults as much as possible
1684[18:46:07] <zerocool> we really don't have the problem
that the switch solves though and when we do have that problem we
already know what it is and how to fix it whereas this makes things
more complicated... and you can't tell from outside the vm what
the duid will be... currently you can open the network adapter
properties, get the mac and set it in dhcp before it even calls for
a lease

it that the user is going to have a floppy with the drivers for

2022[20:48:46] <scarodj_> Hello! I just got Buster installed in a
VirtualBox and configured different user and sudo passwords. My
issue/question is that the sudo password won't work in CLI only
graphical. I had the opositte problem in Stretch.
2033[20:52:30] <brontosaurusrex> and possibly reboot
2034[20:52:46] <jmcnaught> scarodj_: If you configure sudo then
you use the user's password with the sudo command. If you have
a root password then you use the root password with "su
-l". You can have both configured at the same time.
2036[20:52:56] <jmcnaught> no need to reboot, but you need to log
out and log back in
2037[20:53:10] <jmcnaught> also "adduser <username>
sudo" is easier to type and remember
2038[20:53:14] *** Quits: xcm (~xcm@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)

2040[20:53:32] <hk239> hey I'm trying to update stretch to
buster, all went well so far, changed sources to buster, did apt
update, upgrade, dist-upgrade
2041[20:53:38] <vadique> well, I proceeded without network, and
yet I’m stuck at choosing of mirror
2042[20:53:48] <hk239> and then doing apt autoremove, it seems to
be removing a lot of packages. Might something be going wrong there?
2053[20:55:52] <hk239> I didn't think it through I guess :D
2054[20:56:09] <jmcnaught> hk239: learned something I guess :)
2055[20:56:17] <hk239> could also be that I'll just reboot
and it works, or that I didn't do it correctly and it's
removing something essential
2056[20:56:26] <scarodj_> Thanks! I'll try it
2057[20:56:31] <vadique> ah there is, triple of go backs
2058[20:57:18] <jmcnaught> hk239: you should not need to
reinstall unless something really crazy gets removed, you can
probably simply reinstall needed packages.
2059[20:57:29] <vadique> I wonder what would it be after
installation
2094[21:08:12] <jmcnaught> vadique: what is the PCI-id for the
card, find it with 'lspci -nn' it looks like [abcd:1234]
2095[21:08:39] <vadique> 10ec:b822
2096[21:08:55] <jmcnaught> ,pciid 10ec:b822
2097[21:08:56] <judd> [10ec:b822] is 'RTL8822BE

being added for linux 4.14 and buster comes with 4.19.
2099[21:10:39] <vadique> okay, what to do with it?
2100[21:10:43] <jmcnaught> The description of the
firmware-realtek package lists this device:

2103[21:11:39] <jmcnaught> vadique: you can download that package
from that page, put it on a USB stick and install it with "dpkg
-i firmwre_realtek_2019011401_all.deb"
2106[21:12:26] <jmcnaught> vadique: hopefully your kernel will
pick it up. You can check to see if the kernel is even looking for
that missing firmware with "dmesg | grep -i firmware" (as
root)
2162[21:25:49] <jmcnaught> hk239: if /home is on a separate
partition then you can do manual partitioning in the
debian-installer and choose not to format it, but you should back up
first.
2163[21:26:36] <hk239> how do I check the size of a
folder/subfolder in terminal?
2164[21:26:42] <hk239> I might be able to copy the contents on an
USB
2165[21:26:53] <zleap> jmcnaught: thanks for that, that is
helpful i need to do a manual format or non format of partitions
2166[21:27:16] <pylsan> hk239: with du /home/folder
2167[21:27:48] <Tenkawa> more effectively du -smx
/full/path/to/tree
2188[21:29:55] <hk239> just trying to find out if it fits on the
stick, so I can copy them there
2189[21:30:03] <hk239> and then put the installer on the other
stick and reinstall
2190[21:30:35] <hk239> that's probably the sanest path
forward given I don't know how to use terminal & do stuffm
anually in debian, since usually debian has just worked out of the
box so to speak
2191[21:30:52] <Tenkawa> hk239: a good example to find out how

have some stuff in
2198[21:31:43] <Tenkawa> ok
2199[21:31:43] <sedrosken> okay, so I have but one issue now --
on resume from suspend, my display freaks out and is pretty much
completely corrupted, I end up having to reboot because of it
2200[21:31:45] <jmcnaught> hk239: why don't you run "ip
a" and see what your network interface is named, then edit
/etc/network/interfaces with nano to make the requried change?
2201[21:31:49] <hk239> it seems to be 362megabytes so it's
not a problem
2202[21:31:49] <Tenkawa> go to blender
2203[21:31:55] <Tenkawa> and do
2204[21:31:58] <sedrosken> driver is amdgpu, GPU is an integrated
HD8330

that means? :D
2207[21:32:23] <Tenkawa> . means current directory
2208[21:32:32] <hk239> it says 2: is enp2s0 that's probably
the interface name

another look and see if that doesn't do it -- since this
isn't a gaming machine anyway I highly doubt I'll even
notice the difference
2210[21:32:42] <hk239> okay so hmm then edit interfaces okay
I'lll try that

firmware? 'dmesg | grep -i firmware' (as root)
2213[21:33:06] <hk239> there doesn't seem to be anything in

2217[21:33:41] <hk239> I don't know what that means :D
2218[21:33:46] <sedrosken> no? I fetched the
firmware-amd-graphics package and regenerated my initramfs,
that's how I got graphical anything to work otherwise I was
stuck with the efifb driver
2224[21:34:44] <hk239> I have a cable connection, and the modem
has also a wifi network. This computer is using wifi, and the 2nd
was connected via cable. And it was working just fine, until I did
that attempted upgrade to buster, and then autoremoved stuff which
was probably the main mistake
2225[21:34:45] <sedrosken> and that makes it rather...
problematic considering it's a laptop and it kind of has to be
able to properly go into and come out of suspend
2226[21:35:20] <sedrosken> to be fair it's not just a debian
issue, I can reproduce this on any other distro using amdgpu, it
just hadn't occured to me yet to see if radeon does it or not
2233[21:36:29] <sedrosken> i suppose i kind of asked for this one
considering I specifically enabled amdgpu's SI and CIK support
by the kernel commandline and blacklisted radeon, when i let it pick
for itself it chose radeon

2319[21:51:02] <sedrosken> yeek didn't mean to dump that in
the chat
2320[21:51:34] <hk239> it was a good reminder : )
2321[21:52:20] <jmcnaught> hk239: Debian packages have
priorities, most packages are optional. That 'aptitude install
~pstandard ~prequired ~pimportant' command installs all the
packages of the standard, required, and important priorities.
2322[21:52:43] <hk239> okay
2323[21:52:50] <hk239> by the way
2324[21:53:37] <hk239> I was making this user modification for a
game called UFOai, and I included countries into the geoscape like
United States, and so on.. And wanted to use the actual flags for
them. So I discovered that GIMP image scaling algorithm is flawed,
and went on to #gimp to figure out how to fix the scaling problem
2325[21:54:09] <hk239> and then found out that the scaling algos
have been updated for the newer version of gimp, and that my version
of debian still had the old version of gimp
2326[21:54:18] <hk239> so I ended up trying to do the upgrade for
buster
2332[21:55:54] <hk239> so I have some working folders with models
I've made with blender and such that I wouldn't have
wanted to lose, so it's pretty nice if this works, thanks again
2334[21:56:53] <hk239> that is the old gimp algo caused
distortions for images scaled to low pixel resolution, and the flags
looked weird. So they worked but they just had a minior graphical
imperfection. :D
2335[21:56:54] <Freneticks> Hi is there a manual for the
migration of iptables to buster ? bash: iptables: command not found
2354[22:02:00] <jmcnaught> Freneticks: /sbin is not in normal
user's $PATH, and 'su' alone no longer changes $PATH,
you need to specify a login shell with "su -l" to get
root's $PATH that includes /sbin
2406[22:36:31] <vsayikiran> hi Im running new debian buster
recently installed. I am trying to set up user specific locale but
does not work. I have two user accounts User1 and User2. I wish to
setup locale L1 and L2 respectively. Somebody help me how to do
this.
2407[22:36:38] <vlt> Ede|Popede: I have several buster
installations and all of them have binaries in /sbin and /bin.
2427[22:42:19] <Ede|Popede> wouldn't this bream system in
networks which import /usr? and also, /usr can become really big
especially with local, doc and src
2432[22:44:28] *** Quits: czesmir_ (~stefan@replaced-ip) (Quit: Lost terminal)
2433[22:45:07] <vsayikiran1> hi i am back....I posted a question
regarding how to set different locales for different users. I
followed all the wikis in internet but of no profit......I have 2
users User1 and User2, i wish to set up locale1 and locale2
receptively.
2434[22:45:41] <bionade24> jmcnaught: Thanks, docker-egine is the
deprecated package of Docker Inc., nowadays it's docker-ce.
2435[22:45:42] <vsayikiran1> Debian version is buster.....I have
installed locales using dpkg -reconfigure locales
2437[22:46:48] <jhutchins> Ede|Popede: The reason for having
/usr/bin separate was that disks were small and expensive, so only
essential programs went in /bin, ordinary programs in /usr/bin
2439[22:47:06] <vsayikiran1> and verified the locales are enabled
using locale -a.....in /etc/locale.gen...and output of locale
command.....I have set export LANG=<locale value> in .bashrc,
.profile and .dmrc
2440[22:47:17] <jhutchins> Ede|Popede: They were also a bit
unreliable, and /usr might not mount, or might mount later in the
boot process.
2441[22:47:51] <vsayikiran1> but nothing works....local files are
not overriding /etc/default/locale file...which i wish to
2443[22:48:56] <Ede|Popede> jhutchins: i know... i still like to
keep my / as small as possible, not possible anymore with all the
/usr in it. or i'd have to partition even more than in the past
or remount directories into /usr. and i'm not sure if i can
even do this in the partitioning phase of the installation
2444[22:49:08] <vsayikiran1> please someone help me....can pm
me.....whenever i am available i will reply back with logs
2447[22:50:06] <Ede|Popede> vsayikiran1: login as user1, set the
locales for this user. if everything is fine, login as user2 and
repeat the steps, just with the other locale
2452[22:51:11] <vsayikiran1> Hi Ede I did but locale value is
always taken from /etc/default/locale file........locale value in
.bashrc, .profile and .dmrc is unable to override value in
/etc/default/locale file
2453[22:51:53] <rant> one problem is locales are a mess, another
problem is, you're making assumptions and stating them as facts
2454[22:51:58] <humpled> what kind of login is this
2463[22:53:50] <vsayikiran1> rant: when I set locale value in
local user account files and commenting all lines in
/etc/default/locale......still locale value are not set in that
account
2464[22:54:03] <jhutchins> Ede|Popede: You should read the
freedesktop link above.
2465[22:54:03] <petn-randall> humpled: Can you rephrase your
question? What login are you referring to?
2466[22:54:15] <hk239> hmm after upgrading to buster,
there's a problem with an old software I'm trying to use
(err, ufoai), it's trying to find libutils-2.28-system.so but
can't find it, it seems the 'binutils' package is
updated and has a newer version, any idea how to deal with this
issue?
2467[22:54:58] <hk239> tried googling but so far didn't find
anything useful
2468[22:55:00] <jhutchins> Ede|Popede: For most general-purpose
users, intense partitioning does not provide any actual
functionality. / and swap are all they need.
2469[22:55:00] <humpled> when vsayikiran1 was talking about a
login, i wondered if they meant a tty or a desktop manager or ssh or
what
2470[22:55:05] <vsayikiran1> rant: when I uncommented
LANG="en_IN.utf8" in /etc/default/locale file.....i log in
any user account in my buster debian pc......everywhere i see only
english language
2496[23:08:05] <Enissay> Hi, I am about to use this to ensure my
weechat is still running "7 */12 * * * if ! screen -list | grep
-q "^weechat$"; then screen -dmS weechat weechat-curses;
fi", however, since I have many similar rules and to avoid
typos, could someone help putting the name of the screen in a var
then use it to do the grep test as well as assign the screen name.
2504[23:10:08] <rant> Enissay: that seems a bit ridiculous
2505[23:10:24] <Enissay> Im listening
2506[23:10:52] <rant> Enissay: if you start screen and a program
like an irc client inside, its going to stay running.. no need to
check on a time based schedule

2508[23:11:13] <Enissay> Issue is that some of my screens do stop
all the sudden then I have to restart them manually
2509[23:11:16] <rant> idk what you got going on that would cause
it to stop but something tells me its not time.. and if it is, you
got bigger problems
2510[23:11:38] <Enissay> I admit this never happened with
weechat, but I have some personal script who do
2528[23:17:15] <rant> and afaik its absolutely no different than
any other script. which is what you should be doing.. writing a damn
script not putting a bash scrip inline in a damn cronttab
2530[23:17:37] <Enissay> no brain cell will be needed for simply
extracting a variable here and use it in two different spots.
I'm not constantly using bash hence the difficulty for me...
2532[23:17:44] <_Vi> Why "gcc -m32 hello.c -o hello"
started giving `/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/8/libgcc.a when searching for -lgcc`
after upgrade to buster?
2562[23:32:11] <noob23> Howdy! Just had my computer fixed but I
still need to reinstall some drivers I think; when I turn on the
computer it says I'm missing some wireless and bluetooth
drivers. I am able to connect to WiFi but it seems tempermental you
could say. Some googling has revealed a git of what I think are the
right drivers found here:

2578[23:38:36] <rant> jelangkung: yes well when something like
that happens its usually some local config issue.. and its far more
common to occur on an upgrade where old settings might be an issue
with new software
2582[23:39:26] <rant> noob23: and the point is, that we have
firmware available so why are you playing around with mfg websites
and upstream git repositories
2583[23:40:11] <noob23> well, for starters I'm clueless, so
okay I'll try the existing repositories named above?
2584[23:40:30] <dvs> noob23, just add "contrib
non-free" to the end of the deb line
2585[23:40:52] <noob23> and then run a line about
upgrading/updating?
2586[23:41:04] <petn-randall> ... and then run `apt update` to
update the package list, and then `apt install firmware-iwlwifi` to
install the firmware.
2615[23:54:28] <noob23> huh? the text only browser?
2616[23:54:33] <Tenkawa> yep
2617[23:54:47] <Tenkawa> type it out from dmesg
2618[23:54:58] <petn-randall> Tenkawa: If you don't
understand what problems users have, it might be best if you wait
until you understand the issue before answering.
2619[23:55:10] <petn-randall> That way we avoid them explaining
their issue over and over.
2620[23:55:39] <Tenkawa> petn-randall: fine I'll stop trying
to help.
