12[00:01:38] <SerajewelKS> that echo line doesn't look
like it would work
13[00:01:42] <gmturner> SerajewelKS, you have any experience
with lvmcache? My understanding is it's a bit of a minefield
and maybe not all the bugs are fixed. But I have no personal
experience.
14[00:01:43] <SerajewelKS> i think the escapes got gobbled up
25[00:07:34] <SerajewelKS> gmturner: doing some research it
looks like a pretty nasty bug was fixed in the kernel 4.12 and
buster is 4.19, so maybe it's fine in buster
26[00:08:47] *** commandline1 is now known as commandline1_
29[00:09:33] *** commandline1_ is now known as lars_3
30[00:09:44] <gmturner> could be. like I said I've got no
expeience... more of a vague impression that maybe I'm better
off not using it if I don't want problems.
31[00:10:06] <magic_ninja> So debian just completely crapped
out on me.
43[00:13:46] <gmturner> unfortunately, SerajewelKS, I believe
lvmcache uses dm-cache under the hood and they have the same
pitfalls. I do vaguely recall that there was another in-tree
framework, and some out-of-tree alternatives as well, but that could
all be wrong.
46[00:14:42] <magic_ninja> back in action. That was scary
47[00:14:58] <SerajewelKS> gmturner: seems strange that linux
wouldn't have a stable writeback caching mechanism by now :/
48[00:15:00] <magic_ninja> I thought I was going to have to
reinstall DOS
49[00:16:07] <gmturner> Yeah, kind-of unfortunate if
that's really so SerajewelKS. If you're determined to have
your cake and eat it too, my advice would just be to do lots of
testing to make sure you do, indeed, actually have your cake.
50[00:16:30] <SerajewelKS> gmturner: i do have nightly backups
though rebuilding the system would be a pita
53[00:17:45] <magic_ninja> what can do I about pavuctrl not
saving my settings
54[00:18:07] <SerajewelKS> i've heard that using an ssd to
hold the ext4 journal can offer pretty big performance improvements
as well, as sync/fsync flushes to the ssd only
59[00:19:37] <gmturner> that might indeed get you some
moarfastering without as much risk SerajewelKS
60[00:19:42] <magic_ninja> under configuration-->built in
audio I have to keep changing to to "duplex stero" and I
don't know how to save it
61[00:20:16] <SerajewelKS> gmturner: i wonder if using some USB
flash sticks would work in that capacity, since the amount of data
isn't that great. we wouldn't be looking at throughput,
we'd be looking at fsync latency...
65[00:22:40] <gmturner> Possible but you'd need the right
stick SerajewelKS; recent corsair "GTX" sticks are
basically sata-ssd's on a USB 3.1 interface for example, and
can probably beat spinning rust. but of course they probably have
way more latency than, i.e., native sata ssds
66[00:23:11] <gmturner> "native" being a relative
term of course :)
67[00:23:20] <SerajewelKS> i have a few junk sticks laying
around that i could raid1 and run some performance tests on.
it's theoretically possible that fsync latency is better.
77[00:27:38] <gmturner> right although I suspect they are way
behind in both dimensions. You might try leaving some of your sticks
unpartitioned since those sticks get all wierd and slow as you
approach capcity limits
164[01:27:40] <dmar198> I'm trying to ssh into my server
via tor from outside my local lan, but I keep getting the error
"ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote
host." I've checked my auth.log and it does not show any
point where my server closed a connection on me when I tried to ssh
into it. What should I do?
183[01:37:20] <dmar198> I see a lot of errors about not finding
rsa_certs, dsa_certs, and ecdsa_certs, then the message
"Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0," then

194[01:47:03] <HotBeefDip> can someone explain why Synaptic is
included with Buster if it, apparently, isn't working?
or...maybe I'm doing something wrong when I try to use it?
217[02:04:02] <HotBeefDip> LtL I'm fairly new to Linux but
isn't the whole idea of Debian's "stable" branch
that all the packages included will work if used on a vanilla
(default) system install? Or am I misunderstanding the philosophy
behind the stable branch?
218[02:04:47] *** Quits: sfvm (~sfvm@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
219[02:05:16] <LtL> HotBeefDip: it did until Xwayland came
along, hopefully that will be fixed, others apps may not work
either.
220[02:05:20] <HotBeefDip> do I need to configure Buster
differently if I want to use certain packages, like Synaptic?
221[02:05:46] <SerajewelKS> HotBeefDip: no, the idea of
debian's stable branch is that it doesn't change after
release except to fix _critical_ bugs and security updates
223[02:06:15] <HotBeefDip> SerajewelKS ahh, gotcha...thx for the
clarification
224[02:06:34] <SerajewelKS> np
225[02:06:53] <SerajewelKS> in particular, "optional thing
A doesn't work with optional thing B" isn't a
critical bug :)
226[02:06:55] <LtL> HotBeefDip: the only work around at the
moment is to install/use 'weston' I know nothing about
weston, but the wiki mentions it.
227[02:07:24] <HotBeefDip> I know it's better to use the
command line package managers like apt and aptitude...but, since
I'm new I thought I'd get my feet wet with
Synaptic...I'm starting to think getting Synaptic working will
be more trouble than it's worth...is that a fair assumption?
228[02:08:02] <HotBeefDip> alternatively, would it be worth
nuking Buster and installing Stretch instead?
229[02:08:05] <LtL> HotBeefDip: yes, that's a fair
assumption.
230[02:09:36] <LtL> HotBeefDip: That's up to you, for
myself it wouldn't be worth the downgrade but I never use
synaptic.
231[02:09:56] <HotBeefDip> LtL ok, thanks for the advice
233[02:10:25] <LtL> HotBeefDip: hopefully it'll be fixed
and you're welcome.
234[02:10:32] <HotBeefDip> also, is it possible to run a more
current browser than ESR without ending up with a weird
franken-distro? I found this site linked on the Debian wiki, but it
doesn't mention how to install the release version of Firefox
under Buster...
replaced-url
235[02:10:46] <HotBeefDip> *than Firefox ESR I meant
236[02:11:55] <LtL> HotBeefDip: thats where I installed FF from
a couple years ago, i run FF 69, but ESR is still intact.
244[02:14:34] <LtL> HotBeefDip: just extract the tarball in
$HOME and run it. i put a symlink on my desktop and it launches by
default, don't recall how i did that
245[02:14:50] <HotBeefDip> LtL awesome, thanks so much!
251[02:18:13] <HotBeefDip> would someone mind having a quick
read through this and tell me if there's any potential
downsides to this approach? I believe this will make the current
release of Firefox the 'default' browser under Buster
without getting rid of Firefox ESR...but I'm not entirely sure
I understand exactly what these commands do
265[02:25:34] <LtL> HotBeefDip: Be aware it won't update
via apt, you need to click the 'help' menubar and
'about' to update FF.
266[02:25:50] <HotBeefDip> LtL yeah, I figured as much...thx
267[02:26:09] <LtL> Atleast I doubt it will update via apt.
pretty sure.
268[02:26:23] <jmaher> grub-install --target=x86_64-efi crashes
my machine - is there some easy way to find out why? (the machine
boots most of the time, but sometimes just to the grub shell)
269[02:26:43] <LtL> it just went to version 69 a couple days
ago.
324[02:58:44] <cluelessperson> HotBeefDip point releases are
minor. Major(.)Minor
325[02:59:02] <awal1> like Stretch ---> Buster
326[02:59:09] *** Quits: mcnugit (~textual@replaced-ip) (Quit: My MacBook has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…)
327[02:59:25] <cluelessperson> The only reason I like to
"cleanly" reinstall, is because I sometimes install crap
without paying attention to versioning/compatibility
328[02:59:41] <cluelessperson> so by "cleanly"
reinstalling, I'm avoiding compatibility issues.
329[02:59:55] <cluelessperson> and it enforces my backup
policies.
330[03:00:14] <cluelessperson> That I maintain user data
redundancy that I can quickly reload on other machines.
331[03:00:20] <LtL> HotBeefDip: not to worry, it'll be a
piece of cake upgrade
332[03:01:08] <HotBeefDip> cluelessperson so...going from 10.0
to 10.1...what type of upgrade would that be classified as? major?
or minor?
333[03:01:16] <LtL> minor
334[03:01:18] <cluelessperson> minor
335[03:01:33] <HotBeefDip> cluelessperson that's what I
asked, and you said "no"...lol
336[03:01:37] <awal1> not possible to get netflix working on
chromium/firefox without installing Chrome or widevine stuff eh?
337[03:02:23] <cluelessperson> HotBeefDip You asked two
questions, I answered the first, not the second. ;)
342[03:03:02] <cluelessperson> HotBeefDip so slow down, ask one
thing at a time. yes. 10.0 -> 10.1 would be minor
343[03:03:12] <HotBeefDip> cluelessperson so...the first
question was "the part that says # For major release upgrades
only...does that mean from 9.0 to 10.0 etc.?"
398[03:21:04] <HotBeefD_> can someone tell me if there's a
way to use this command without specifying the path to a file? gedit
admin:///etc/default/apport
399[03:21:20] <HotBeefD_> in other words, can I just use this to
open gedit as root without also opening a file?
400[03:21:33] <HotBeefD_> apparently gksudo is the way it used
to work and that's not in buster...?
401[03:21:35] *** Quits: cluelessperson (ac5c8cfe@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
423[03:30:19] <SerajewelKS> what exactly is the linux strategy
for accelerating writes to HDD RAID1s? the kernel facilities like
dm-cache and lvmcache using an SSD RAID1 seem to be implicated in
kernel panics and strange storage corruption after unexpected
shutdowns
454[03:45:39] <HotBeefD_> what I'm trying to do seems like
it should be fairly easy but I'm having a hell of a time, even
when I try to lookup instructions...I need to open the
firefox-esr.desktop file from /usr/share/applications, make some
changes to it (I want to use it as a template to make a
firefox.desktop file for the release version of firefox) and save it
under a different name (firefox.desktop)...can I open the file with
nano and save it under a
455[03:45:41] <HotBeefD_> different name without f'ing up
firefox-esr.desktop?
456[03:46:27] <nvz> you should 1) use a menu editor program like
menulibre and/or 2) copy the file to your homedir
457[03:47:04] <jmcnaught> SerajewelKS: I use lvmcache with a
single SSD and two HDDs in RAID1 and haven't noticed any
problems. Have you tried dm-writecache instead? dm-cache also has a
writeback mode that might work for you. I was just reading about
them in lvmcache(7).
458[03:47:36] <nvz> global .desktop files are in
/usr/share/applications and they are overridden on a per-user basis
by the local ~/.local/share/applications/ files
459[03:47:38] <SerajewelKS> jmcnaught: right, lvmcache with
writeback is what i'm looking at. (BTW writeback is unsafe
unless the cache is redundant as well. hope you're using
writethrough!)
460[03:47:58] <nvz> HotBeefD_: global .desktop files are in
/usr/share/applications and they are overridden on a per-user basis
by the local ~/.local/share/applications/ files. You shouldn't
modify the global files
461[03:48:25] <jmcnaught> SerajewelKS: I'm using
writethrough.
462[03:49:06] <HotBeefD_> nvz so, can I make a copy of
firefox-esr.desktop, save it in ~/.local/share/applications using
the name "firefox.desktop" and make changes to it so it
works with the release version of Firefox?
476[03:55:15] <HotBeefD_> so, if I want to create a NEW desktop
file which currently does not exist in either of those folders...can
I place it in either folder?
477[03:55:39] <HotBeefD_> firefox.desktop does not currently
exist and I want to create it
478[03:55:51] <HotBeefD_> I just want to use firefox-esr.desktop
as a template
479[03:56:01] <HotBeefD_> where do I put the file I want to
create?
484[03:57:50] <nvz> I have shortcuts for Netflix (Buster
Firefox-esr) and Xfinity Stream (Windows Firefox running in
Crossover) both I have custom profiles for that are lanuched by the
desktop entries with those profiles which have a custom
UserChrome.css which makes the windows appear without
scroll/menu/tool bars and such
491[04:03:26] <SerajewelKS> jmcnaught: thanks for the writecache
pointer though, didn't know that existed. looks like it's
new in 4.18. and lvmcache supports it.
519[04:14:18] <nvz> oh well I guess there are always confusing
things like how on Windows your computer is on your desktop, when
the desktop is in the C: in the computer
520[04:14:30] <nvz> its like some kinda m.c. escher thing
521[04:14:49] <SerajewelKS> you can refer to sshfs as a
"fuse filesystem"
522[04:14:59] <SerajewelKS> just like i can refer to
lvmcache-test as a KVM VM
523[04:15:16] <SerajewelKS> yeah we use the terms how they make
sense
524[04:15:25] <SerajewelKS> and they make sense in context, and
sometimes context is weird
535[04:23:06] <SerajewelKS> jmcnaught: "unrecognised
segment type writecache"
536[04:23:12] <SerajewelKS> neat, so the docs on buster lie :/
537[04:23:36] <nvz> the docs do that sometimes
538[04:24:32] <HotBeefD_> ok, I think I got it working...but the
icon isn't showing up...the line for my icon looks like this
"Icon=/browser/chrome/icons/default/default128.png"
539[04:25:03] <HotBeefD_> I put the path relative to the folder
that the binary is in, from the Exec line...is that how I'm
supposed to do it?
559[04:30:57] <HotBeefD_> I thought maybe the desktop file would
automagically relate the path to the icon from the location of the
binary specified on the Exec line...now I know
566[04:32:03] <nvz> I'd filed a bug many years ago against
samba-doc for including Oreilly's Using Samba guide which is a
work of fantasy fiction
567[04:32:53] <nvz> when I talked to the upstream devs they said
the only way samba could work as described in there is if it was
completely rewritten from scratch
680[06:04:34] <SerajewelKS> i just tested writing 20 64MB files
on two volumes, one raid1 and one not redundant, using dd
conv=fsync. both tests took about 13 seconds to complete 20 files.
681[06:04:48] <SerajewelKS> this is a bit surprising to me, i
would have expected the raid1 to be quite a bit slower
682[06:05:12] <SerajewelKS> in these tests it was only 30ms
slower per file
694[06:09:14] <jelly-home> (but also, no reason for two parallel
writes of same size to similar devices be significantly slower than
a single write to a single device)
705[06:13:53] <SerajewelKS> i could benefit from an SSD write
cache still, but i guess that mdraid isn't really adding as
much overhead to writes as i thought
707[06:14:53] *** Quits: teej (uid154177@replaced-ip) (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
708[06:15:02] <SerajewelKS> if you're wondering about the
odd raid1 setup, it's because i had RAID1(3TB, 3TB) and needed
more space, i thought i could either buy 2x 6TB disks or just buy
one, put the two 3TBs in a RAID0 and then make a RAID1 out of it and
the 6TB drive
709[06:15:51] <SerajewelKS> it actually works fairly well. one
of the 3TB drives failed about a month later. :) got a new one for
free since there was still about six months in the warranty period,
popped it back in, had to manually recreate the RAID0 but
everything's been fine since then.
711[06:16:15] <SerajewelKS> my only gripe is that md never
automatically kicked the raid0 and i have no idea why, with the
kernel log full of read errors
785[08:00:47] <alphazulu> when I run
/usr/share/docker.io/contrib/check-config.sh it shows a bunch of
'missing' with linux-image-5.2.0-2-amd64. docker fails to
start
797[08:10:46] <SerajewelKS> ratrace: cascading iirc. failed from
the disk and subsequently the raid0. i suppose the mirror
wouldn't kick the raid0 before trying to repair the bad sector
882[09:32:23] <schangg> I got a sudo question. I want all
memebers of the sudo group to be able able to run apt-get without
being prompted for a password
883[09:32:31] <schangg> I have added the following to
/etc/sudoers
918[09:49:51] <otyugh> Hey. Naive question : why does services
like sshd (openssh-server) or smbd (samba) wait for target
multi-user (hanging the boot process) while they could wait for the
"network.target" hence gaining a lot of time at bootup ?
920[09:50:21] <vilpan> hi all, I've got a gpg upgrade stuck
on 9.9 -
replaced-url
921[09:50:21] <vilpan> I've got libreoffice from
stretch-backports, so I guess that's why gpg was pulled in from
backports. I suppose this could be fixed by manually installing
libgpg-error0 from backpors. Just wondering if this should be
reported - doesn't look normal for upgrade to break due to a
package from backports.
922[09:50:21] <vilpan> On the other hand, the package from
backports being libreoffice I'm surprised it has not been
reported already (querybts does not show anything related for either
gpg or libgpg-error0), so there might be something else at play
I'm not aware of yet.
937[09:55:15] <ratrace> otyugh: there are a lot of things I
dislike about how the maintainers have set up service units, and for
most of those the answer is to be compatibele with sysv which is
_still_ supported
938[09:55:25] <ratrace> /compatible/
939[09:55:47] <ratrace> otyugh: no it's not. run systemctl
edit <service name> and it'll pre-create the drop-in
directories under /etc/systemd/system/
940[09:56:16] <ratrace> it'll start the $EDITOR and an
empty file where you override directives or add new ones
941[09:56:21] <otyugh> ratrace did you wrote an article or some
documentation about what and how you'd do ?
942[09:56:31] <otyugh> *or have some link ^^'
943[09:56:39] <ratrace> I didn't, just ask google "how
to override systemd service"
949[09:57:58] <ratrace> otyugh: you can also just copy the
entire .service from /lib/systemd/system/ into /etc/systemd/system/
it'll work too. it's just that the drop-in way is the
recommended one
950[09:58:27] <otyugh> ratrace, ideally I'd like a way to
automate changes wihout using and editor. Basically I use sed.
(I'm playing with custom debian system using live-build)
951[09:58:50] <otyugh> Nice
952[09:58:55] <otyugh> I was looking for that !
953[09:59:05] <ratrace> otyugh: you don't have to use an
editor or systemct edit. it's just a convenience method that
pre-creates the dirs. google up "systemd drop-in units"
and you'll see how to set it up manually
954[09:59:27] <otyugh> thanks you very much, it helps.
955[09:59:31] <alkisg> otyugh: afaik, sshd doesn't need to
run "after network-online"; one can e.g. just ssh to
localhost
956[09:59:49] <ratrace> otyugh: the difference is that with
drop-in units you only need to write out directives you want to
change or remove. by copying the entire .service into
/etc/systemd/system, you need to use the entire .service WITH your
modificatoin
957[09:59:53] <alkisg> Also it doesn't need to "be
stopped after network.target on shutdown"; it can be stopped
before that
958[09:59:53] <ratrace> *modifications
959[10:00:09] <alkisg> So afaik multi-user.target is just fine
960[10:00:32] <ratrace> alkisg: ssh to localhost is a very
remote and edge case which doesn't really mean ssh.service
shouldn't y default depend on network
961[10:01:14] <alkisg> ratrace: this is a good read:

instead of wondering what to do about network.target, please just
fix your program to be friendly to dynamically changing network

964[10:02:09] <otyugh> My problem with sshd our smbd is that
they can delay signifcantly the graphical.target
967[10:02:27] <alkisg> sshd should be able to start before

968[10:02:28] <ratrace> alkisg: tell that to bind :) errors out

haveged >1min. When they are set to WantedBy=multi-user
975[10:03:34] <ratrace> (being that I was just working to deal
with this issue minutes ago)
976[10:03:55] <alkisg> otyugh: sshd doesn't delay here at
all; something else is wrong in your setup
984[10:04:53] <alkisg> It *is* possible that other packages have
bad dependencies that cause the lag; and that you've found a
workaround; but the solution would be to fix the other packages, not
sshd, imho
986[10:05:45] <ratrace> I used to have problems with very laggy
lightdm. found out it was due to network being hogged down by stupid
idiotic avahi mdns which lagged because there's no mdns in my
network
987[10:05:59] <ratrace> none of that was obvious from the
systemd-analyze
988[10:06:13] <otyugh> Multi-user.target means "before the
graphical target", systemd-analyze show that both service smdb
and sshd are lagging behind, setting them to network.target makes it
right. Weeell. If this is not smdb or sshd being slow for some
reason, what is ?
992[10:06:38] <ratrace> what put me on correct path to look into
network, was DHCP logs stating it took 20+ seconds to get an IP, and
after I chased a few red herrings reconfiguring the dhcp server
993[10:07:19] <ratrace> after halfa day I thought to check if
there's somethign else about network and found avahi. Nuked
that piece of carp and voila! lightdm pops up immediately on boot.
997[10:08:29] <friendlyGoat> i upgraded to buster and now my
python scripts no longer work and instead loop an error over and
over until my computer vent starts to whirr as loud as it can
1012[10:13:34] <ratrace> friendlyGoat: stretch had different
python3 version. are you sure your scripts are compatible with
python 3.7? iirc there was some change wrt async between 3.5 and 3.7
1013[10:13:34] <friendlyGoat> i feel incredibly stupid sharing
this but my upgrade was completely by accident but im not dealing
with reinstalling 9. i was gonna install something and the guide had
me add some sources to my source list and i didnt realize it said
buster and i didnt realize until it was too late that me using
dist-upgrade was taking so long cause i was upgrading the whole os.
decided forget it im gonna work with what i got i suppose so now im
on 10.

1112[10:41:33] <Lady_Aleena> Why do I have a bad feeling that I
may have to nuke my system and reinstall Buster? My volume keys
worked up until I turned off pulseaudio to test something, and now
the keys don't work unless I am in a program like VLC to turn
down the volume.
1132[10:48:00] <Lady_Aleena> Is it possible to open a program too
early after reboot where some things don't work with it?
1133[10:48:03] *** Lord_of_Life_ is now known as Lord_of_Life
1134[10:48:04] <ratrace> Lady_Aleena: I do this for i3-wm but I
think you can do it with .Xsessionrc for any DE, bind multimedia
volume keys to amixer or even pavucontrol
1139[10:53:20] <Lady_Aleena> ratrace, I think I opened VLC too
early after rebooting my computer and getting into XFCE. The volume
control keys may not have loaded in the background. I closed and
reopened VLC, and the keys now work.
1142[10:53:38] <SASDOE> hey all, since I've upgrade to 5.2.0
I have lost wireless. I have a realtek r8822be whose driver was
merged into the new rtw88 and rtwpci. lshw shows the network as
unmanaged and lspci shows it's using rtwpci (but not rtw88).
I'm at a loss as to what step to take next
1143[10:54:00] <Lady_Aleena> I need my DEs to now allow me to
open things until everything is fully loaded in the background.
1144[10:54:08] <Lady_Aleena> s/now/not/;
1145[10:54:14] <Starhowl> thanasisk, Unit sshd.service could not

1147[10:54:28] <ratrace> Lady_Aleena: not sure I understand your
use case there
1148[10:54:45] <ratrace> Starhowl: ssh.service
1149[10:54:48] * nvz already explained that DE control of hotkeys is so
high level it is suceptible to focus stealing
1150[10:54:51] <SASDOE> Lady_Aleena: how are your keys
configured? if they are simply sneding keyboard events there is not
reason it shouldnt work
1159[10:57:03] <nvz> they were always working, everone is just
not paying attention to what I've been saying :P
1160[10:57:21] <nvz> you are catching hotkeys after they've
already been processed half a dozen times
1161[10:57:22] <ratrace> Starhowl: I was just correcting your
usage of sshd, there's no such service, the service name is
ssh. and yes, openssh-server (the package) sets it up, and
that's the response to your orig question
1162[10:57:54] <nvz> this is the problem with puttin a hotkey
daemon as the last in line to get a keystroke
1168[10:58:49] <ratrace> Starhowl: your last question was
"How can I check if it's installed and running as a
service?", and you were told service sshd status which is
wrong, the service name is ssh. no d
1175[11:00:51] <nvz> Lady_Aleena: there is some learning curve
but should you want universal hotkey control and maximum
flexibility, triggerhappy is the solution as I recall it can handle
any key events, before X ever sees them, and it can switch modes
using various assigned triggers so you can remap the same triggers
to different things within different contexts
1176[11:01:09] <Lady_Aleena> nvz, is triggerhappy a terminal
application or gui application?
1177[11:01:19] <nvz> triggerhappy like most hotkey things is a
daemon
1195[11:04:39] <nvz> as I recall another interesting thing about
trigger happy is that since its lower level at where it catches
input, it works even when X isn't running of course, but it
also provides for catch or passthrough
1196[11:04:46] <Lady_Aleena> What does triggerhappy have that
xbindkeys doesn't?
1197[11:04:50] <nvz> that is it can act on a keystroke and still
pass it on iirc
1201[11:06:07] <Lady_Aleena> Maybe that is why I can't find
the pulseaudio-equalizer since I installed it a little bit ago. The
app name may be different, and I can't find it.
1207[11:07:32] <Lady_Aleena> nvz, I think thd has a problem. I
use it at the command line and am told command not found, even
though I was able to read man thd.
1209[11:07:52] <nvz> Lady_Aleena: idk much at all about xbindkeys
but thd catches input from the kernel input and can act on any input
device or combination thereof, anywhere in the system.. tty1,
wherever, assign multiple things to same inputs based on
modes/contexts and afaik it can also optionally pass on the event
while triggering on it
1210[11:07:57] <Lady_Aleena> OH I have to be ROOT to use the
damned thing?
1224[11:10:45] <nvz> Lady_Aleena: you may be lacking some
admin-fu but you seem to be a user who appreciates control or at
least configurability.. thd is more flexible than the flimsy stuff
at the X level
1225[11:11:20] <nvz> I think it may be worth looking into if you
want more control over inputs as it runs at a lower level and is
more flexible
1226[11:11:50] <Lady_Aleena> nvz, I don't know. I'm
having a bad few days with my system in general.

1229[11:12:40] <nvz> Lady_Aleena: you're seemingly
transitioning a lot.. moving to a new release, becoming more of an
admin.. you're diving deeper into the system now
1230[11:13:08] * ratrace pops open a bottle of champagne!
1234[11:15:07] <Lady_Aleena> nvz, there are times where I just
wish I had someone who lived nearby to come over and help me
sometimes. There is just so much that I may be doing wrong or have
the wrong think for, that I am timid to do anything too deep.
1242[11:21:08] <Lady_Aleena> Another sound problem I am having is
that I can't get my sound to go BELOW 20% (alsamixer won't
go below 22%). I don't know why I can't get a lower
volume.
1259[11:26:20] <nvz> EmleyMoor: I am very pleased with the one in
my T440, it does very well on battery consumption, and it supports
2.4 and 5ghz, but has non-free firmware
1268[11:29:24] <nvz> there are examples in the thd manpage for
amixer commands
1269[11:30:23] <nvz> EmleyMoor: no clue.. even with the pciid no
one can say for certain really unless they've used it.. I have
two wifi USB dongles here and a pcie in my T440 which all work
nicely..
1270[11:30:51] *** Quits: yonder (~yonder@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
1273[11:32:21] <nvz> I could swear when I just switched sessions
in lightdm I saw messages on the console window about something
being "Dazed and confused" heh
1282[11:33:13] <Lady_Aleena> nvz, the problem of not being able
to go below 22 on alsamixer has NOTHING to do with the keyboard
commands.
1283[11:33:52] <nvz> Lady_Aleena: yes I would think it may be
something hardware/driver related but to confirm you'd have to
try manually setting the value with something like amixer
1284[11:34:10] <SASDOE> EmleyMoor: Don't get anything
realtek. I'm in a battle with it right now. they updated their
driver but it's nuked my wireless
1293[11:39:19] <EmleyMoor> I'd need a mini card adapter for
that
1294[11:39:20] <Lady_Aleena> What is pactl?
1295[11:39:30] <ratrace> pulse audio command line ctl thingy
1296[11:39:35] *** Parts: lag (lag__@replaced-ip) ("Leaving")
1297[11:40:31] <centrix> Using top to check my CPU(s) utilization
I sometimes get 120%. I suppose it means 1CPU + 20% of the other at
a certain time. Correct?
1298[11:40:36] <Lady_Aleena> And man docs need to be written on a
non-technical level as if the person reading knows absolutely
NOTHING.
1307[11:43:59] <nvz> Lady_Aleena: yes there is a difference
between alsa and pulse utils.. alsa is interfacing with the
hardware.. pulse mixing isn't touching the hw necessarily..
1313[11:44:41] <ratrace> centrix: cpu% is bad metric for that.
you need average load. if that number (which is number of queued
processes/threads) is consistently larger than your cpu/core count,
you need more of them
1320[11:46:12] <jim> hi... I'm looking how to find support
for the rtl thing at pciid [10ec:b822] , judd says it doesn't
know which kernel module

audigy?
1322[11:46:23] <Lady_Aleena> nvz, yes.
1323[11:46:31] <nvz> ,pciid 10ec:b822

1348[11:49:12] <centrix> ratrace, why? No matter of number of
process, 100% of CPU utilization will NOT provide anything extra and
the processes either wait or work.
1349[11:49:15] <nvz> Lady_Aleena: well when I last had a fancy
sblive it had the pci card without outputs on the back, front
outputs via cables to the card, and then you could have the live
drive which fit into a 5.25" bay and had a buncha extra crap..
1350[11:49:21] <ratrace> centrix: "I want to find a boundary
where I could say that I need to add CPUs." -- yeah,
you're not gonna do that with cpu%. you need average load.
1351[11:49:36] <nvz> Lady_Aleena: onboard sound often have analog
and digital say over hdmi/dp. they are multiple devices on a single
card
1352[11:49:48] <nvz> Lady_Aleena: you have to be sure when using
cli tools you are controlling the right card and device
1353[11:50:11] <Lady_Aleena> nvz, which is why using cli tools is
always scary.
1354[11:50:19] <jim> nvz, I'm trying to find out now
1355[11:50:19] <nvz> jim: what is the computer?
1356[11:50:35] <ratrace> centrix: also, cpu% itself is some weird
heuristic, not nearly what most people think when they think
"cpu utilization"
1357[11:51:04] <nvz> jim: ah ok, I was just wondering cause
someone else just asked about a wifi card and I showed the one I
have which has non-free firmware but is a good low power
wifi/bluetooth combo that works well in Debian and its under $10 on
newegg

on helping jim. I can wait.
1360[11:51:25] <nvz> Lady_Aleena: I can also multitask :P
1361[11:51:25] <centrix> ratrace, yes, but I am not performing an
exact math. Just an a\overall where some reserve may come on scene.
Let's say I could sar -u -s <from> -e <to> } awk
... and compute the average
1362[11:51:34] <jim> I'm paused right now
1363[11:51:39] <ratrace> centrix: no that's just abusing
statistics
1366[11:52:09] <nvz> Lady_Aleena: I am just saying that if you
wanna get to the bottom of it, you gotta try either directly telling
the card/device you want, hey, set Master to 5, and see what it
does.. or just ignore it altogether and use higher level mixing
1374[11:53:41] <centrix> ratrace, I have several "cat
/dev/zero > /dev/null" processes running. Top shows CPU
utilization perl process (also per cpu) while sar shows 0% idle.
Could I rely on sar. For starters?
1375[11:54:03] <centrix> I got 2 cpus now.
1376[11:54:19] <ratrace> centrix: for what exactly. like I said
120% does NOT mean one full core plus 20% of another
1421[12:03:25] <nvz> EmleyMoor: another caveat of USB is not only
shared bandwidth and max speen, but its also often susceptable to
lowering by devices on the bus in that if you have a 3.1 hub and you
plug a 2.0 device in, the whole hub slows down to that speed
1422[12:03:59] <EmleyMoor> nvz: The machine in question lacks
USB3 altogether
1423[12:04:01] <centrix> ratrace, I could also use stress
1424[12:04:16] <nvz> EmleyMoor: thats not a directly answerable
question unless you mean max possible.. the actual speeds depend on
a number of issues, the hub, whats on it, the cpu, etc.
1425[12:04:33] <EmleyMoor> Yes, I mean max possible
1426[12:05:18] <nvz> EmleyMoor: max speed of USB2 is like 60MBps
1427[12:05:39] <nvz> EmleyMoor: thats the entire bus speed..
1430[12:05:58] <EmleyMoor> Like 60? So why are "like
600" adapters being advertised far and wide
1431[12:06:00] <EmleyMoor> ?
1432[12:06:04] <ratrace> centrix: also, what you seek is not
unambiguously a single number. average cpu% or in fact even average
load are meaningless without sampling periods and a stdev across
them
1434[12:06:22] <nvz> EmleyMoor: idk.. USB3 is slightly more than
10x that speed
1435[12:06:40] <nvz> EmleyMoor: to achieve 600MBps you'd
have to be on USB3
1436[12:06:54] <nvz> with nothing else on the bus, no iowait in
the cpu, etc..
1437[12:07:11] <EmleyMoor> I don't really want USB - I want
PCI/Express... but am having trouble finding any "one
part" solutions
1438[12:07:34] *** Quits: SASDOE (~max@replaced-ip) (Quit: Lost terminal)
1439[12:07:34] <ratrace> centrix: or for example, if you had 50%
cpu% average for a certain period, it could mean that half of that
period cpu% was 0, and half of it was 100%. or that for the entire
time it was 50%. the former _might_ require more cpus, the latter
definitely doesn't.
1446[12:08:54] <ratrace> centrix: but if you had a number that
said you had average load of 6 for that time period, on a 4 core
system, that means (assuming no iowait) you need two more cores for
that same load if you want no overhead on context switching. more or
less.
1447[12:10:01] *** Quits: dselect (~dselect@replaced-ip) (Quit: ouch... that hurt)
1448[12:10:06] <nvz> EmleyMoor: ah, ok.. well thats different.
I'm not a big fan of wifi on the desktop.. but if I were to do
it I'd seek something with a antenna on a cord personally
1449[12:10:11] *** Quits: pyfgcr (~pyfgcr@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
1450[12:10:46] <nvz> EmleyMoor: when you speak of practical
terms, practically 12MBps is often a limit for most things
you're connecting TO with wifi
1471[12:23:04] <centrix> ratrace, Good I'll take that in a
count. Generally said if the average is at 75% and there is now
iowait the system provides a reserve. 85% with no iowait may
indicate that there is a potential necessity to obtain more CPUs.
10% in iowait may indicate that there it is wise to obtain more
CPUs.
1474[12:24:25] <ratrace> centrix: again, no. average of 85% does
not say if ONE cpu was tasked with one process that, over time, took
85% of it, OR that four cpus has four processes doing less work over
that same time, but cumulatively coming up to 85%
1475[12:25:09] <centrix> ncpu must be taken in account
1476[12:25:11] <ratrace> centrix: which means your threshold
shouod be 100% but, again, that doesn't mean whether one
process was at 100% or ten processe would be at 1000% but 100% is
really max so you don't have the info
1477[12:25:45] <ratrace> centrix: same thing, just the maximum
then ain't 100% but 100*cpu. it still means the same. 200% does
not mean 2 cpus were working. it could mean 4 cpus were working at
50%
1479[12:27:09] <centrix> 100% of 1 cpu at the system of 4 cpus
does not say that the REAL average load is 25%.
1480[12:27:16] <ratrace> centrix: so in some way you could say
that if you had (100*ncpu)% average, then yeah you might need more
cores, but how many? average load would tell you.
1481[12:27:33] <ratrace> centrix: yeah precisely. 100% is vague
number
1488[12:28:49] <ratrace> centrix: it would again mean nothing :)
only 100% average over certain period would mean you probably needed
more cpus, but not how many more.
1489[12:29:39] <ratrace> look... we're going in circles.
you're hellbent on using cpu%, go ahead. I'm telling you
it's wrong, you should look at several numbers. average load,
iowat%, and then inspect most running processes for what kind of
load they're contributing to that avg (because it includes
iowait). that's all. gotta go back to work.
1491[12:30:17] <centrix> ratrace, "No how many more"
Well, yes. We must be ready to add, say four. And have enough
finance before asking for this "computing" adventure.
1492[12:30:58] <ratrace> centrix: but average load would tell you
EXACTLY how many more
1493[12:31:08] <centrix> ratrace, Not in circles. I have moved.
1494[12:31:20] <ratrace> if you persistently have load 6 on a 4
core cpu, and inspecting shows that mostly being cpu and not iowat,
you need...... 2 more :)
1495[12:32:00] <ratrace> and if you had 70 more, mostly being
apache, it'd mean you need to change your mpm, NOT add more
cpus ;)
1496[12:32:12] <centrix> Good. I am recording our conversation to
consult for my task.

1502[12:32:46] *** beavis was kicked by debhelper (flood)
1503[12:33:00] <centrix> ratrace, No. The server is dedicated for
R processes.
1504[12:33:09] <ratrace> R language?
1505[12:33:12] <centrix> Yes
1506[12:33:14] <ratrace> mkay
1507[12:33:56] <ratrace> I don't know R, but I just gave an
example where cpu% or even loadavg is meaningless when you consider
what is producing that load. Badly configured <process that could
be tweaked to perform the same, with less resource consumption>
1515[12:36:00] <centrix> ratrace, Yes. We have a test machine. In
case of a suspicious process (high RAM or CPU consumption) we
consult with the author to confirm this behavior.
1747[15:00:22] <greycat> Does it include comments that say
"Hi, I'm NetworkManager, don't edit this, because
I'll just brush aside your changes"?
1748[15:00:22] <jezebel> do you have resolvconf installed?
networkmanager also potentially updates /etc/resolv.conf
1749[15:00:38] <greycat> !resolv.conf
1750[15:00:38] <dpkg> /etc/resolv.conf is a resolver
configuration file that contains your nameserver IPs. It is written
by your DHCP client. To use different nameservers than those
provided by DHCP, ask me about <override dns>. See also
<fixresolvconf>.
1763[15:06:26] <velix> Interesting. I've just setup Debian
on /dev/sdb on VMware vSphere. It doesn't find Grub on /dev/sda
and complains. I've not installed Grub to /dev/sda and it boots
/dev/sdb... Seems like VMware is stupid.
1823[15:26:31] *** Quits: cooler (~cooler@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
1824[15:27:13] <vampirefrog> hi y'all, I'm trying to
figure out if it's possible to use some sort of hardware key to
access an encrypted partition
1825[15:27:38] <vampirefrog> I'm aiming to get a laptop with
some sort of hardware inside it that would allow me to lock an
encrypted partition to that laptop
1826[15:27:39] <velix> ayekat: Actually, I want to remove
/dev/sda from grub, since /dev/sdb is my default :/
1827[15:28:18] *** Quits: gierdo (~Dominik_G@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
1828[15:28:29] <vampirefrog> and my question is, can I do that
with debian? what should I be looking for as far as hardware, I just
don't want my data to be readable if someone steals my laptop
1834[15:31:30] <velix> ayekat: I've set up Debian on VMware
vSphere. Since the admin has set the SSD to /dev/sdb, I had to
install it here. VMware didn't look for GRUB on /dev/sdb and
complained, since it hasn't been on /dev/sda. So I had to
install Debian on /dev/sda, too (since the installer doesn't
allow to setup the bootloader without a base system). Since VMware
finds GRUB on /dev/sda now (which also contains the information
about /dev/sdb), my default is /sda now. ARGH ;)
1835[15:32:23] <vampirefrog> you can do grub-install /dev/sda
from debian or chroot
1837[15:33:21] <velix> vampirefrog: Yeah, but I want to have
/sdb(1) to be the default.
1838[15:33:45] <ayekat> velix: you can have GRUB on sda boot the
system that's on sdb
1839[15:33:46] <vampirefrog> default what
1840[15:34:00] <vampirefrog> yes, grub-install just installs the
first sector bootloader
1841[15:34:34] <velix> okay, let me work on it again
1842[15:34:34] <vampirefrog> so if vmware tries to boot from sda,
it finds the grub bootloader, and the bootloader looks at sdb for
its grub config and should display the menu from that config
1843[15:34:49] <vampirefrog> you can try wiping sda and just
grub-install /dev/sda
1919[16:05:58] <bolt_> Some embedded boxes (custom built)
I'm working on fail to reboot about 19/20 times after an
upgrade to Buster. They get stuck after shutdown on
"Synchronizing SCSI cache". I've tried using hdparm
to disable the write cache (-W0), I've done all the usual
acpi=off, acpi=force, reboot=bios,force,pci,whatever, and it still
just stays there. What's up? Here's a screenshot:

1920[16:06:18] <aypea[3]> since upgrading to buster, my
$HOME/.mailcap has stopped being taken into account. does anyone
know how to fix this?
1921[16:06:20] <bolt_> Rebooting worked just fine when running on
stretch
1923[16:08:00] <bolt_> When they freeze up, the cursor stops
blinking and even ctrl+alt+del doesn't work. In fact,
ctrl+alt+del will cause the system to lock up if used shortly after
grub as well. Under stretch, it'd reboot. Now it just hangs.
1936[16:14:34] <vsayikiran> Hi I have installed debian buster on

be done?
1961[16:22:42] <bolt_> karlpinc: yes, if need be. I don't
use it much tbh. I'll try the clean Buster install first, and
if that helps I'll analyze the difference
2022[17:01:19] <jpcooper> Hello. I am running Debian Stable on a
Lenovo T460 laptop. Sometimes my screen is irrecoverably blank when
I try to resume from suspend. I have looked this up on Google and
have found many possible solutions, some suggesting setting
intel_iommu=false in grub. I'd rather not apply random changes
without fully understanding what they do. A lot of these suggestions
are quite old. Has anyone here managed to solve this problem
recently?
2057[17:15:14] <vampirefrog> and I use at0m's solution
2058[17:15:21] <vampirefrog> which is not really a solution
2059[17:16:23] <dvs> Did you try pressing the Shift key?
That's what does it for me.
2060[17:16:26] <velix> Is there a way to remove /usr/bin/parallel
from being tracked by dpkg ?
2061[17:17:00] <nvz> velix: to what end?
2062[17:17:43] <velix> nvz: I want to install GNU parallel from
the community builds, which don't rename moreutil's
parallel to /usr/bin/parallel.moreutils, so I need to do it
manually.
2063[17:17:58] <vsayikiran> Hi does anyone how to enable network
connections GUI app. Although network manager is able to discover
wifi networks, but I am unable to edit connection information
2071[17:19:36] *** saint___ is now known as saint_
2072[17:20:28] <nvz> velix: well the two debian tools I know of
and have used are equivs and alternatives.. equivs wont help if you
still want moreutils
2074[17:21:02] <nvz> velix: however alternatives will work.. you
just have to install your 3rd party package elsewhere like /opt/ or
/usr/local/ and add it to alternatives
2075[17:21:04] <jmcnaught> velix: why not install it to
/usr/local/bin?
2132[17:31:28] *** Quits: kupi (uid212005@replaced-ip) (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
2133[17:31:50] <hdt551> Well, I'm sure not using the DVD
would "fix" the problem.
2134[17:32:09] <cluelessperson> hdt551 to "fix" it, you
can alter the sources quite easily
2135[17:32:26] <dvs> hdt551, like described above ^^^
2136[17:32:39] <cluelessperson> by editting the text files under
`/etc/apt/sources.list`
2137[17:33:08] <greycat> I believe the intent of putting a
cdrom:// source in the file is that you will leave the DVD or CD in
the drive whenever you run apt-get, and you're relying on it to
save as much bandwidth as possible.
2140[17:33:30] <greycat> Because you're on dial-up, etc.
2141[17:33:31] <hdt551> Yes, I know I can fix it, it seems like a
rather long running problem, to have it error as soon as you try to
update after an install...
2247[17:38:44] <nvz> velix: I'd like to have a more elegant
solution for other things but for this specific situation, you have
the package installed already through debian, and the only
significant parts are in /usr/bin/ so you could just dpkg -x the
package and copy the contents of its /usr/bin/ to /usr/local/bin
manually and then just use alternatives
2254[17:39:05] <jmcnaught> velix: if you install it to
/usr/local/bin/parallel then why do you need to use
update-alternatives? /usr/local/bin should be in your PATH before
/usr/bin…
2255[17:39:14] *** Joins: len (~lenisko@replaced-ip)
2267[17:41:09] <nvz> velix: however either this solution or
diverting the moreutils and manually dropping in this one.. either
is just as rube and has the same issues
2276[17:42:16] <nvz> but dpkg-divert I believe can just divert
specific parts of the package
2277[17:42:16] <velix> That's my current solution up to now:

2278[17:42:57] <greycat> every once in a while, someone has a
question about GNU parallel which requires me to install it and test
some crap with it, and every time, that incredibly pompous diatribe
about how I need to "cite" them in my "scholarly
work" or pay them 10k euros/dollars leads me to uninstall it as
quickly as possible
2296[17:48:02] <james1138> Hello from Indiana/USA. General
question about Linux and mail clients. Besides Evolution, Claws Mail
and Thunderbird - are there any other email clients that have
calendar and RSS feed support??
2304[17:50:42] <toruvinn> james1138, a bit funny perhaps, but
good old opera with m2 had all this. and i loved it. apparently
vivaldi is working on a mail client, so they may have it in the
future. im not sure about operium (i.e. the new chrompera).
2308[17:52:40] <james1138> Thanks for the tip toruvinn. I am
using Vivaldi now. As for email - I am using Evolution with RSS
plugin. The only issue I am having is that when I hit "send
& receive" to update email folders and RSS it crashes.
2314[17:53:38] <toruvinn> ehh, i have pretty not-the-best
experiences with evolution, sadly. mainly that even if you enable
downloading all the imap mail for "offline mode", unless
you actually go offline it will always reload from the server. which
can be slow if you live on the other end of the globe.
2315[17:54:09] <james1138> I rather not have to install a
separate RSS if the browser or email client will do the job.
2316[17:54:19] <velix> nvz: Have to catch my train. Will return
in 2 hours
2334[18:01:55] <mrquincy> I'm having some issues with Debian
ignoring my interpreter request in the shebang line of scripts
executed from a ZSH terminal.
2335[18:02:13] <mrquincy> #!/bin/bash is ignored, and my stuff
runs in zsh anyway
2336[18:02:24] *** Quits: Ycarus (~Ycarus@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
2337[18:02:29] <greycat> you might have a typo in the shebang, or
the script might have carriage returns
2338[18:02:58] <greycat> or you might be typing "source
yourscript" or ". yourscript"
2340[18:03:35] <greycat> wouldn't hurt to make sure the
script has execute permissions, too. I have no idea how zsh behaves
if you try to execute a script without +x perms.
2454[18:39:24] <sleepingforest> ill look, my end goal is to see
what all came from where and who needs what so i can rm packages
without breaking shit. could be easier to do a fresh install tho
2459[18:40:05] <sleepingforest> SerajewelKS: im unaware of those
2460[18:40:28] <SerajewelKS> sleepingforest: look through the
list of manually-installed packages and mark whatever you don't
need as auto. then you can run "apt-get autoremove" and
any package marked auto that isn't depended on by something
marked manual gets tossed.
2461[18:40:29] *** Quits: leandrovianna_ (~leandrovi@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
2467[18:41:10] <SerajewelKS> sleepingforest: any package that you
don't need in that list you can "apt-mark auto $pkg1 $pkg2
..."
2468[18:41:19] <SerajewelKS> when you're done, run
"apt-get autoremove"
2469[18:41:58] <sleepingforest> well, this doesnt seem safe since
apt-mark showmanual shows things like systemd, which i didnt
manually install. unless im misinterpreting whats manual here
2470[18:42:06] <nvz> sleepingforest: I just decrufted my system
recently removed over 700 packages, freed up well over 2GB space..
did it all in synaptic
2471[18:42:15] *** Quits: laptop2 (~my123@replaced-ip) (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
2488[18:44:56] <SerajewelKS> so the packages you have installed
will also be marked manual. any of their dependencies will probably
be marked auto.
2489[18:45:00] <nvz> sleepingforest: I went through the status
local/obsolete first, then through the manual (packages that were
actually specified to be installed.. removed anything I didnt use in
months from those, then went into autoremovable and got rid of those
after marking from the other two categories
2492[18:45:12] <SerajewelKS> "apt-get autoremove" just
removes all auto packages that are no longer depended on by anything
else
2493[18:45:46] <SerajewelKS> so "apt-mark showmanual"
is the place to start. obviously don't mark anything auto that
you know the system needs. ignore systemd for example.
2494[18:45:54] <zumba_addict> i wanted to use inotifywait to
watch a file. I do see inotify
2495[18:45:56] <nvz> sleepingforest: found it easier to do it in
synaptic cause I could more easily browse the list, going between
status categories and see the info on the packages easily as I
looked through them
2496[18:46:07] <SerajewelKS> sleepingforest: /var/log/dpkg.log*
may also be helpful if you're trying to figure out what
you've installed since install
2497[18:46:16] <greycat> zumba_addict: judd just told us, in
response to my query
2498[18:46:20] <SerajewelKS> nvz: i use aptitude for the same
thing
2499[18:46:24] <sleepingforest> nvz: thx i agree its easier
2500[18:46:36] <sleepingforest> SerajewelKS: thx for the cli way
2501[18:46:40] <zumba_addict> k
2502[18:47:00] <SerajewelKS> sleepingforest: np. running
"aptitude" by itself gives you an in-between. it's a
curses UI in the terminal.
2503[18:47:06] <nvz> sleepingforest: that setup I have there you
gotta go to Settings > Preferences > Show package properties
in main window to get that bottom pane with the extra info
2517[18:47:52] <SerajewelKS> sleepingforest: be sure to read the
aptitude docs if you go that route, it's powerful but there is
also a steep learning curve and it's easy to accidentally do
the wrong thing when you're mashing keys
2518[18:47:58] *** cdown_ is now known as cdown
2519[18:48:04] <nvz> but a vnc server provides an X11 server,
doesn't require an actual xorg or such
2520[18:48:06] <SerajewelKS> nvz: you'll still have to run
X, just with VNC as the output
2521[18:48:19] <sleepingforest> yeah i like all options
2522[18:48:23] <SerajewelKS> ?? the "X VNC servers" do
use xorg.
2523[18:48:35] <sleepingforest> i have a handful of servers that
dont have x
2524[18:49:01] *** debhelper sets mode: +l 1559
2525[18:49:06] <nvz> ,why vnc4server xserver-xorg
2526[18:49:14] <SerajewelKS> if you want to go the route without
an X server you could forward your local display over ssh and run
synaptic that way, but then you still need a ton of X client and
gtk/gnome libraries and crap
2527[18:49:15] <judd> No dependency chain found between packages
vnc4server and xserver-xorg in buster/amd64.
2554[18:54:34] <SerajewelKS> sleepingforest: if you want in
aptitude, you can also filter the view to just manual-marked
packages
2555[18:56:00] <SerajewelKS> i'd give yourself a good hour
to go over the aptitude docs and make sure you understand what you
can do and how to do it, it's worth learning
2556[18:56:12] <sleepingforest> yeah its worth filling in gaps
2557[18:56:16] <SerajewelKS> the search feature alone is very
powerful
2558[18:56:25] <sleepingforest> i never sat down and read it in
its entirety
2560[18:57:06] <SerajewelKS> after a release upgrade i always
open aptitude and go over the "obsolete" section to try to
get rid of stuff that was removed in the new release or figure out
what i want to do about it
2561[18:57:37] <SerajewelKS> it's how i learned that
virtualbox was not in buster and that prompted me to start messing
about with qemu-kvm (did i do good nvz?)

2728[19:51:29] <SerajewelKS> the only justification i can think

well trust it with your whole computer…
2739[19:53:45] <SerajewelKS> hop: signal is open source
2740[19:54:01] <jelly> SerajewelKS: getting root is really a
minor issue when all the really important files are owned by user
and in their home
2741[19:54:21] <SerajewelKS> jelly: right. root allows some other
nasty things like keystroke/network monitoring, but yeah.
2742[19:54:40] <martigan> I don't know what passwordless
sudo is, when I installed I didn't make a root password and was
automatically added to the sudoers file. I don't have a root
password I don't think.
2743[19:54:56] <jelly> SerajewelKS: you can sniff keyobard and
mouse as user, if you're running X
2744[19:55:00] <SerajewelKS> it looks like this "suid
sandbox" was "almost completely removed" in 2016. i
have no idea why signal would suddenly _start_ using it within the
last few months.
2745[19:55:02] <martigan> hop, valid point.
2746[19:55:34] <SerajewelKS> martigan: as i said, signal is open
source. i guess the rest of the point about trusting it with your
conversations makes sense, but not the closed-source remark.
2791[20:09:21] <martigan> Thank you all! Is this something that
should be reported? And any advice on the way to do that? Ive never
reported bugs in anything before.
2795[20:11:24] <lord_chris> martigan: Bugs in debian is reported
at
replaced-url
2796[20:11:28] <jelly> SerajewelKS: userns are disabled by
default in Debian's kernel, because it's a really rather
buggy feature that provides less security than implied
2797[20:11:45] *** Quits: jback (~jasper@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
2801[20:12:56] <SerajewelKS> martigan: you'd need to report
it to signal as the package isn't provided by debian. i
don't know how signal handles bug reports.
2802[20:13:15] <SerajewelKS> lord_chris: this isn't a bug in
debian :)
2805[20:14:12] <jelly> SerajewelKS: it's an interaction
between electron apps and debian specifically, who you're going
to blame is really a matter of opinion
2806[20:14:29] *** Quits: AbangGojek (~androirc@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
2807[20:14:33] <SerajewelKS> jelly: i mean that their package
installs this binary but doesn't make it setuid
2827[20:21:21] <greycat> hmm, man page says that basically does
an "OR" with the current bits, so if the file started out
777 then it would become 4777
2828[20:21:58] <greycat> So once again, some idiot wrote a shell
script that is not only broken, but creates security holes.
2851[20:35:34] <greycat> if you're talking about regular
daylight saving time changes, all you need to do is ensure that your
system timezone is set to the correct one, and it should be handled
2852[20:35:59] <greycat> if you mean "I'm moving to a
different state/country, and I want to change my timezone",
then see above
2853[20:36:29] *** Quits: traveltissues (~traveltis@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
2878[20:47:03] <jhutchins_wk1> Akuw: There is a table where the
kernel can look up what the time zone is and when it changes to
daylight time if it does.
2884[20:49:00] <greycat> That "table" is the set of
time zone definitions that are provided in the tzdata file. And
reconfiguring that with dpkg-reconfigure tzdata lets you tell libc,
or anyone else who cares to look, which one you intend to use.
2885[20:49:11] <greycat> ... in the tzdata pacakge.
2886[20:49:18] <greycat> pretend I can type
2887[20:49:19] <jhutchins_wk1> greycat: Thank you for the
correction.
2952[21:01:43] * greycat looks at his own date output, looks at the
stuff he put in ~/.profile, looks at the LACK of said stuff in his
environment in this terminal window, looks at the PRESENCE of said
stuff in tty2 after a console login...
2953[21:01:59] <greycat> ... is startx stripping parts of my
environment?
2955[21:03:51] <jhutchins_wk> greycat: Or maybe xterm isn't
reading .profile?
2956[21:04:07] <lord_chris> graycat: Are all of the env variables
defined
2957[21:04:13] <lord_chris> ?
2958[21:04:28] <greycat> I did not EXPECT xterm to read it. I
expected it to be inherited through the wm, through startx, from the
login shell. That's why I am wondering whether startx stripped
it out.
2963[21:05:50] <greycat> According to ps eww, the LOCPATH
variable that I added in .profile is not present in the login shell
(expected), IS present in startx, IS present in xinit, and is NOT
present in fvwm.
2964[21:06:05] <lord_chris> graycat: I know sudo by default
strips env variables never heard of startx doing it
2965[21:06:30] <hop> lord_chris: no d'uh. why are you
telling me?
2980[21:13:42] *** Quits: grobi (~rtng@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
2981[21:14:12] <greycat> lord_chris: if I do "startx xterm
-- :1" from tty2, resulting in an X session which is only an
xterm and no window manager, the LOCPATH variable *is* retained in
that xterm. Interesting... not sure what's going on yet.
2982[21:14:26] *** Quits: idlemind (~quassel@replaced-ip) (Read error: No route to host)
2987[21:17:29] *** Joins: mint (~mint@replaced-ip)
2988[21:17:31] <greycat> if I compare the environments of xinit
(1196) and fvwm (1205, direct child of 1196), the only variables
removed are LOCPATH and _
2994[21:20:51] <jhutchins_wk> greycat: It would make sense that
you wouldn't need LOCPATH because you already have your locale
from the session that launched xinit.
2995[21:21:16] <jhutchins_wk> greycat: Why they would go to the
trouble of removing it is baffling.
3026[21:32:38] <SerajewelKS> you need the relevant gpg key
imported as well
3027[21:32:43] <Psil0Cybin> okay thanks.
3028[21:32:43] <hop> Psil0Cybin: the signature only applies to
the checksum, if that wasn't clear
3029[21:33:02] <Psil0Cybin> so i import the gpg key, i run the
gpg key vs the sign file, and the ISO
3030[21:33:05] <Psil0Cybin> and thats it its verified?
3031[21:33:11] <SerajewelKS> not the iso
3032[21:33:36] <hop> Psil0Cybin: you'll also have to verify
the keyring
3033[21:33:38] <SerajewelKS> just the .sign file. then you verify
the checksum of the iso matches the sums file. the signature
verifies the integrity of the sums file.
3037[21:34:49] <Psil0Cybin> So I do not forget exactly what you
guys are saying?
3038[21:35:33] <hop> Psil0Cybin: that's pretty much what the
page says that you linked to
3039[21:35:57] <hop> really, the first sentence says it
3040[21:35:59] <hop> "Official releases of Debian CDs come
with signed checksum files; "
3041[21:36:12] <Psil0Cybin> okay
3042[21:36:18] <greycat> The SHA-256 value is in a file on the
web site. You can run the sha256sum command against your .iso image
file, get the SHA-256 value, and compare against the one on the web.
The GPG stuff is an additional layer AFTER that, which is to try to
reassure you that the value on the web site isn't modified.
3043[21:36:19] <Psil0Cybin> i just wanted i guess the commands
listed
3044[21:36:24] <Psil0Cybin> but yea ill figure it out
3045[21:36:34] <SerajewelKS> or you can use sha256sum -c so
you're not comparing hashes by hand
3052[21:39:17] <Psil0Cybin> the CD-1.iso just confused me the
naming convension
3053[21:39:44] <greycat> OK, here's another data point:
urxvt (my normal preferred terminal) is setgid utmp, and when I run
urxvt, LOCPATH gets stripped, presumably by ld.so or whatever strips
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, despite this not being documented in the man page.
xterm is NOT setgid, and running an xterm doesn't strip it.
However, this still doesn't explain why my WM is missing the
var.
3054[21:40:33] <ratrace> greycat: which var which wm?
3066[21:42:07] <ratrace> greycat: tried adding it to
~/.Xsessionrc?
3067[21:42:12] <brutser> grub is complaining about not finding
volume group vg_root, but i did create that, the menu entry in grub
i have is: set root=(lvm/vg_root-root) and then linux
/boot/vmlinuz-4.19.0-5-amd64 root=/dev/mapper/vg_root-root rw
cryptdevice=/dev/sda:vg_root quiet
3068[21:42:17] <brutser> when i do ls from the grub rescue, i
see: (lvm/vg_root-root) (lvm/vg_root-swap)
3069[21:42:38] <brutser> maybe something wrong in the grub.cfg in
that line or what?
3075[21:44:32] <greycat> ratrace: this just keeps getting
WEIRDER. Now I ran "startx fvwm -- :1" from tty2, launched
an xterm, and that xterm has the LOCPATH variable. And yet, an xterm
launched from fvwm in my CURRENT (tty1) X session is missing that
variable.
3076[21:44:35] <Psil0Cybin> guys soryr last question i see (i see
debian-10.0.0-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso on the download page ) do i need
to somehow find i see debian-10.0.0-amd64-xfce-CD-2.iso ?
3077[21:44:46] <Psil0Cybin> or is that the only .iso file that i
would need for a xfce4 install?
3078[21:44:47] <frogwine> Hello all, i installed recently Debian
10 with KDE. Probably the hibernation enabled by default, i tried to
instructions on Debian Wiki and also i edited the file resume.conf
as RESUME=none under /etc/initramfs-tools, but it keeps hibernating
anyway. Could you help me?
3083[21:45:19] <ratrace> greycat: that's why I suggested you
try defining it in ~/.xsessionrc
3084[21:45:31] <frogwine> I run update-initramfs and update-grub
by the way.
3085[21:47:02] <Psil0Cybin> mv, i think i answered my own
question "nitially, you will only need to download and use the
first image of a set (labelled as debian-something-1 to be able to
start the Debian installer and set up Debian on your computer. If
there are more images available here (labelled debian-something-2,
debian-something-3, etc.), they contain the extra packages that can
be installed on a Debian system (as mentioned previously).
3086[21:47:02] <Psil0Cybin> They will not be bootable and are
entirely optiona"
3104[21:53:51] <GenTooMan> Greets what is the most straight
forward way to backup and restore my X configuration if a driver
install breaks things? I would like to archive config files for
example then restore them. I am using Debian buster/10
3105[21:54:00] <oblivian> conman is a serial console manager
thing?
3134[22:00:50] <greycat> The LOCPATH variable is present in the
initial environment of fvwm on :1 as verified by ps and also by
launching xterms and running date in them.
3137[22:01:29] <greycat> The difference is on :0 I used
"startx" with no arguments, and on :1 I used "startx
fvwm -- :1" which bypasses the Debian X session stuff, my
.xsession file, etc.
3138[22:01:44] <brutser> grub is complaining about not finding
volume group vg_root, but i did create that, the menu entry in grub
i have is: set root=(lvm/vg_root-root) and then linux

cryptdevice=/dev/sda:vg_root quiet
3139[22:01:47] <brutser> when i do ls from the grub rescue, i
see: (lvm/vg_root-root) (lvm/vg_root-swap)
3194[22:29:03] <jhutchins_wk> brutser: I've never done LVM
on a root volume, shouldn't it be the hard device instead of
the lv? Like /dev/sda?
3195[22:29:18] <jhutchins_wk> brutser: You don't usually
install grub to the filesystem.
3196[22:29:19] <greycat> Why do you believe that your tzdata
package is out of date and needs to be upgraded? In any case, if
that is true, it would be "apt-get upgrade" or
"apt-get install tzdata". But there is NOTHING you have
said so far that points out a need to do that.
3198[22:29:49] <greycat> You ran the date commands and they
showed that your local clock will change automatically in 3 days.
3199[22:30:45] <greycat> You could run more and pinpoint
precisely when the clock will change, but I leave that to you.
3200[22:30:47] *** Quits: oblivian (~junior@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
3201[22:30:51] <Akuw> i mean, apt-get update doesnt take any
argument
3202[22:30:56] <Akuw> right?
3203[22:30:56] <greycat> Correct.
3204[22:31:41] <Greyztar> hello, when a command fails usually get
exit code 1 and if success its 0 ,but then if say i do a ping and 2
packets fail while 3 packets succeed would that still be 1 or a 3 or
something since some of the ping were ok? I had some page bookmarked
with those codes but cant find it anymore though if any links would
be nice =)
3215[22:33:16] <Greyztar> jhutchins_wk: thanks for answer,ill dig
in the man pages abit see what i can come up with :)
3216[22:33:18] <jhutchins_wk> Greyztar: I can't think of an
intermediate result for ping though. Either it did or it
didn't. Packet loss? Different question.
3226[22:35:26] <jmaher> i have two keyboards, usb and bluetooth -
the wired one doesn't beep, the bluetooth connection keeps on
resetting and then it beeps - how do i stop this?

manufacturer's instructions and support.
3248[22:45:58] <jmaher> jhutchins_wk: urxvt +vb is meant to turn
off the bell - this works for the usb keyboard, so it never beeps,
but the bt one starts beeping on reconnect

3331[23:31:35] <brutser> anyone can say me what's wrong?
3332[23:31:39] <annadane> unless you really really need to use 8,
upgrade
3333[23:31:47] <annadane> but if you want debian 10, you have to
go through 9 first
3334[23:32:09] <SerajewelKS> brutser: did you just create the VG?
3335[23:32:32] <brutser> SerajewelKS: when installing i named
-> pv: luks_root vg: vg_root lv: vg_root-root and vg_root-swap
3346[23:34:09] <SerajewelKS> someone else might know. i use lvm
on md-raid on luks and don't have issues but all the metadata
for all layers is in the volume
3347[23:34:09] <brutser> it's about lvm really and grub.cfg
not correctly configured

3355[23:36:51] <SerajewelKS> basically security stuff will likely
get fixed as well as serious bugs that break the system
3356[23:37:20] <SerajewelKS> so if you're not having
problems you will probably be okay but you must upgrade before
2020-06-30 because at that date there will be no updates, period
3357[23:37:29] <SerajewelKS> so you should plan to upgrade soon
3358[23:37:48] <SerajewelKS> but it's not like your system
will fall apart in a week if you don't upgrade

3361[23:38:02] <SerajewelKS> just make sure that the upgrade is
on your radar for the near future
3371[23:44:11] <HotBeefDip> is there a way to know what updates
will definitely be in 10.1? I found this but I don't think
these are necessarily scheduled for a particular release...
