3[00:03:24] <rawtaz> hi. quick question, running the graphical
10.8 installer.. it has a step to add an additional, non-root, user.
how do you skip that step?
13[00:06:56] <rawtaz> quadrathoch2: nope, it never asked. it
just takes you to a screen where (after the root user screen) it
asks you for the username to use for the non-admin account it will
create.
14[00:07:14] <quadrathoch2> rawtaz can you go back?
15[00:07:17] <rawtaz> i noticed now that i can back to the main
screen and manually go through the steps there
18[00:08:24] <rawtaz> but its highly unclear if the root
password i supply will actually be saved, since that step is part of
the same "configure user accounts" section that i dont
complete by not adding the normal user..
19[00:09:16] <rawtaz> we'll see
20[00:09:34] <quadrathoch2> sorry can't say if it will
stay or not, as i never had that issue
21[00:10:04] <Urk> Would anyone have an idea as to why I
can't see anything in the GUI? Everything seems to be there
when running ls -l /path/to/
replaced-url
22[00:11:01] <rawtaz> quadrathoch2: no worries, ill report back
for reference :) FWIW this is the latest 10.8 netinst iso downloaded
like an hour ago. it definitely didnt ask me if i wanted to create a
normal account, they must have made that mandatory now i guess
23[00:11:45] <quadrathoch2> rawtaz pretty sure they didn't
change that, as debian was always that way, and I installed debian
even today in a vm (using textmode)
24[00:12:11] <rawtaz> also FWIW2, i did try to just leave the
username and password blank, but then it took me back to the
username part again :D
25[00:12:34] <rawtaz> quadrathoch2: uh ok. well i i really cant
tell you anything than that i did step by step and 100% did not get
that question
26[00:12:48] <quadrathoch2> rawtaz are you using expert mode?
27[00:12:58] <rawtaz> no, just the standard guided mode
28[00:13:06] <rawtaz> that could be it i suppose, if you use
the expert mode?
29[00:13:40] *** Quits: Vizva (~Vizva@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
30[00:13:46] <quadrathoch2> yeah, that could really be the
case, as the last standard install i did was debian 3 or something
like that
38[00:17:35] <rawtaz> quadrathoch2: it did preserve the root
password i entered, i suppose it saves that into some temporary
config-to-write-later at the very time you move to the next screen
on the root password page, even if you then back up again
53[00:35:50] <Urk> rawtaz: When I select pdq, the folder should
open up, and I should open up, and I should see /Documents,
/Downloads, /Pictures, etc. Nothing is there, but it shows up with
ls -l /to/path
55[00:36:41] <rawtaz> quadrathoch2: funny, im going through the
expert install now. it's hardly any different from the regular
one.. so far the main diff is that here you are allowed to load
additional installer components, other than that its mostly the same
56[00:36:47] <rawtaz> just prettier cuz it's CLI :-)
57[00:37:27] <rawtaz> Urk: sorry, i am uninformed about what
pdq is. is that a graphical file manager or something?
58[00:37:34] <quadrathoch2> rawtaz you do have a few other
things, but mostly you are right (back in the day you had multiple
choices for a bootloader)
85[00:57:56] <Urk> rawtaz: That is a user profile that I have
setup, and the data and files in that profile is what is missing, or
at least when selecting 'pdf'. They do show up with ls -l
/to/path

121[02:04:57] <Urk> rawtaz: I'm back. I can't recall
in recent memory when I have encountered so many problems. I had
this hard drive installed on a really old Dell Vostro, and not once
did I have an issue.
122[02:05:57] <Urk> rawtaz: I can share more about what is going

130[02:18:01] *** debhelper sets mode: +l 983
131[02:18:07] <Urk> dannylee: I have had more trouble using
Buster, but believe the problem is because my hardware is so new. It
works ok once you get it installed, but firmware and wifi drivers
won't install from wifi, and you need to install with an
ethernet cable if you are on a Dell XPS.
132[02:18:40] <Urk> Only kernel 5.10.0.0 or newer will work on
my laptop.
134[02:19:00] <dannylee> i could download buster...but it take a
long time...and it has windows 10 on it...i prefer the DVD
installation..ok
135[02:19:59] <Urk> dannylee: I tried doing dual boot, but there
is a problem with Buster running dual boot with some of the really
new hardware. Linux wouldn't install if the first partition was
an EFI.
136[02:20:08] <dannylee> Buster 10 will be OK...on DvD is just
better for installation
137[02:20:20] <Urk> I deleted the EFI partition, and then it
would write the file system to disk.
139[02:20:36] <Urk> I'm running Buster 10.8.0.0 or
something like that.
140[02:20:47] <dannylee> my computer is really old...but its
fast
141[02:21:03] <Urk> I had a lot of help, and had to install
firmware or the wifi drivers wouldn't install in the stable
edition.
142[02:21:17] <dvs> dannylee: It takes so long to download
336MB?
143[02:21:30] <dannylee> linux like old computer...
144[02:21:31] <Urk> I had no problem at all on a Dell Vostro,
2013 vintage, and everything installed seemlessly.
145[02:21:57] <dannylee> ok
146[02:22:12] <quadrathoch2> Urk, sounds like your system is
really new, if 5.10 is required to get it to working with debian
147[02:22:18] <Urk> The laptop along side of me has a 6 core
processor running an Intel 9th generation processor, and its quite
snappy.
148[02:22:50] <dannylee> all my installation work out
perfectly...old Dell is the way to go..
149[02:23:10] <dannylee> they just never die
150[02:23:34] <Urk> quadrathoc2: I have a Dell XPS 15 7590. I
bought it because of the super bright screen. Looks like Dell took
my advice, and increased the brightness to more than 532 nits. The
nit and battery rating are under rated in their specs, but this is
the first laptop I have ever owned where I didn't need to turn
up the screen brightness to max.
151[02:23:47] <dannylee> ...SSD drive are the best...no moving
parts
152[02:23:49] <Urk> My laptop came out in the latter part of
2019.
153[02:24:29] <Urk> My understanding is that the Debian release
I am running came out in the fall only a few months before.
163[02:30:07] <Urk> quadrathoch2: If my memory is correct,
kernel 4.19+ would run on my laptop, but not the firmware nor wifi
drivers. My internet protocol is A-X.
164[02:30:20] <Urk> I have two kernels installed, but only use
5.10.0.0
165[02:31:04] <quadrathoch2> ahh okay, gladly i never really had
to fight with wifi :)
166[02:31:25] *** Quits: Tom01 (~tom@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
168[02:35:46] <Urk> Would anyone know how to unlock my file
system? Everything seems to have permissions
replaced-url
169[02:37:32] <jmcnaught> Urk: "namei -m …"
only shows the modes but not the owner and group. You need to use -o
as well to show owner and group for the information to mean
anything.
175[02:44:44] <Urk> Moving along the graphic directory tree,
/root, /media and /users all have a big x over their folders, but
this doesn't show up at the command line.
176[02:45:56] <jmcnaught> Urk: the user "user" does
not have permission to read, write or even enter the
/media/user/56e844af-585d-477e-887b-a1931858c6b6 directory. Have you
been using "chown -R …" or something?
177[02:46:29] <jmcnaught> sorry the user can only read, but
cannot write or enter the directory or its subdirectories.
178[02:46:58] <Urk> jmcnaught: No, not that I recall. This whole
mess started when i tried adding read and write access to group and
others for various segments of the medial while using the Dell XPS
7590. I am back on the 32-bit system now.
179[02:48:20] <Urk> jmcnaught: Maybe I am missing something, but
a quick look at the following url seems to indicate that the /user
does have read and write capability
replaced-url
184[02:50:36] <jmcnaught> Urk: the directory /media/user is
owned by root, group is root. Its permissions are drwxrwxrw-. The
first and second 'rwx' refer to the owner and the group,
the third "rw-" refers to other. This means that others
(not root) are able to read and write in the directory, but not
enter it. Which does not make a lot of sense.
187[02:53:20] <Urk> jmcnaught: Why do you think
"others" can not enter the directory?
188[02:53:21] <jmcnaught> Urk: somehow you have made it so that
root owns /media/user (which would normally be owned by
'user'). The directory
/media/user/56e844af-585d-477e-887b-a1931858c6b6 is even worse with
"drwxrwxr-- root root". Again the last three letters
define the permissions for anyone other than root, and
'r--' means read-only, cannot enter directory
190[02:54:34] <jmcnaught> You need the 'x' permission
on a directory in order to enter the directory.
/media/user/56e844af-585d-477e-887b-a1931858c6b6/pdq probably
exists, but you don't have permission as user 'user'
to see it because you lack the enter permission on the two parent
directories.
196[02:58:22] <jmcnaught> Urk: if this external HDD is your own
copy of these files then I would not change anything about them
without making a backup first.
197[02:58:59] <jmcnaught> Urk: you need to be really careful
when changing ownership, and I suspect you have already used some
chown commands to change the ownership of /media/user/ and
subdirectories to be owned by root root. It does not make sense for
/media/user to not be owned by user:user
206[03:03:49] <Urk> jmcnaught: I tried copying the files, but
get access denied error. Root does not have write permission based
on what I see in the gui.

210[03:06:04] <jmcnaught> Urk: root does not have write
permissions to what? The target drive you are copying files to? What
GUI are you talking about?
223[03:20:00] <Urk> I don't recall using chown for any of
this. Incidentally when this drive was on the other laptop (Dell
XPS) next to me, the entire system went down when I was using chmod
to add rw privileges to another directory.
224[03:20:55] <dvs> directories need more than rw permissions to
be usable
262[04:04:03] <Urk> oxek: This is an ancient 32-bit system that
has a bunch of slashes across the display. It was a free computer
that someone through out, and I am using it as a backup since I have

263[04:04:18] <Urk> that should have been spelled threw out.

272[04:07:59] <themill> Urk: have you gone and read about the
correct permissions for directories?
274[04:09:07] <Urk> themill: My understanding is that users and
group should have RW access, but I assume / needs "x"
because you can't open the folder otherwise.
275[04:09:19] <themill> correct
276[04:09:35] <Urk> themill: Regardless, I can't copy the
folder to a backup drive, and not sure what to do about it.
277[04:09:48] <themill> as sney said earlier, you need an
'execute' privilege to be able to enter a directory

283[04:10:37] <themill> Urk: The error has been pointed out a
few times to you now btw.

pastebinned *really* carefully
289[04:13:12] <Urk> Ok, maybe I am not understanding something.
I look at / in the following url, and it has "x" in ugo
for /
290[04:13:35] <jmcnaught> Urk: if that hard drive is indeed the
only copy of those files, then I would consider bringing it to a
professional to make a backup copy for you, because they looked
important.
291[04:14:23] <Urk> jmcnaught: You would recommend that before
running the commands just suggested by oxek?
292[04:14:47] <Urk> Urk: Yes, they are important, and I too am
concerned.
293[04:14:52] <themill> Urk: the worry is that you're not
spotting the difference between / and
media/user/56e844af-585d-477e-887b-a1931858c6b6
294[04:16:11] <jmcnaught> Urk: I would not run any chmod or
chown commands with -R without really understanding what it will do,
and inspecting the target path carefully.

sure where the directions are.
1041[19:39:25] *** Quits: JohnML (~john1@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
1092[20:33:43] <rangergord> I installed Debian Buster on an Intel
Atom low-power PC, using the KDE ISO. 80% of the time when I log in
after booting, the system resets. The other 20%, it logs in, but
there's no desktop, I get a kde popup error saying kdeconnect
segfaulted, although I can use Run Command feature to run konsole,
firefox, etc. How can I approach this?
1094[20:34:17] <rangergord> First, is there some way I can tell
it "use the non-free drivers for the GPU, whatever that GPU
is"?
1095[20:34:26] *** Lord_of_Life_ is now known as Lord_of_Life
1096[20:37:17] <sney> there is no way to automatically install
non-free software without user supervision, no.
1097[20:38:02] *** debhelper sets mode: +l 1030
1098[20:38:03] <sney> random segfaults are often an indicator of
memory problems, have you tested your ram recently?
1099[20:38:03] <rangergord> sney: so I need to know which GPU it
is, and the name of the non-free driver package for that GPU, then
apt install as usual?
1100[20:38:04] *** Quits: craigevi1 (craig@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
1101[20:38:14] <rangergord> I was running Ubuntu on it for weeks
without issues
1102[20:38:31] <rangergord> this isn't a random segfault,
it's a segfault during login only
1103[20:38:47] <rangergord> When I manage to login I have no
issues running Firefox
1106[20:39:20] <sney> only nvidia gpus have a discrete non-free
driver package. all of the other video drivers are in the linux
kernel, but may need firmware to enable certain features. unless you
have a nvidia card in that machine, it's likely that you are
just missing firmware.
1111[20:41:00] <sney> video firmware is either in
firmware-misc-nonfree or firmware-amd-graphics, at least
1112[20:41:08] <chakpapa> I have a question. When Debian reaches
LTS post its official 3 year lifecycle, is the security handled by
any of the official Debian team?
1118[20:41:22] <dpkg> Debian Long Term Support (LTS) is a project
to extend the lifetime of all Debian stable releases to (at least) 5
years. Debian LTS is not handled by the Debian security team, but by
a separate group of volunteers and companies. Ask me about
<jessie-lts> and <stretch-lts> and see
replaced-url
1119[20:41:34] <chakpapa> Ok Thanks
1120[20:41:38] <chakpapa> "Separate"
1121[20:41:40] <rangergord> yeech, different IRC network?
1122[20:41:51] <chakpapa> So basically, its expected to update to
the next release
1123[20:41:55] *** Quits: Grldfrdom (uid391113@replaced-ip) (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
1125[20:42:14] <sney> in reality, there is probably some overlap
between the security and LTS teams, but they are considered
distinct.
1126[20:42:22] <chakpapa> I get it
1127[20:42:39] <chakpapa> Are updates between version generally
seamless? I mean is that considered a priority?
1128[20:43:22] <sney> it's transparent, the repo urls
don't change
1129[20:43:58] <chakpapa> Ah ok
1130[20:44:02] <rangergord> sney: OK, so since it's Intel
integrated I'm trying firmware-misc-nonfree the next time I
manage to boot it!
1131[20:44:41] <sney> for upgrades from e.g. debian 9 to debian
10, there are some steps detailed in the debian 10 release notes. it
is intended to be a smooth process, but should not be done
automatically.
1133[20:45:20] <rangergord> sney: isn't that bad? if
you're on buster now, happily using specific apps X,Y,Z, 2
months from now when bullseye becomes stable, libraries are removed
(for example I know Qt4 is gone for sure). If it's a
transparent update, everything breaks overnight, no? I'm new to
debian, maybe I'm misunderstanding what you meant
1134[20:45:44] <sney> rangergord: yeah, I thought I was answering
whether it's smooth to go from oldstable to lts
1135[20:45:50] <rangergord> ah
1136[20:45:55] <sney> the next comment was about going from
stable to stable+1
1139[20:46:46] <rangergord> is there a Debian equivalent of
CentOS' external repos, or Ubuntu PPAs? I'm happy being
fully up to date on the whole system, but I have to run a legacy app
which needs Qt 4
1141[20:47:32] <rangergord> which means Buster only right now
1142[20:47:50] <sney> not exactly. debian has some extra repos
for stable that are not enabled by default, but they target newer
software, not older

1144[20:48:34] <rangergord> Ok, it's Intel HD 500 on my
system. I'm gonna go login repeatedly until it doesn't
reboot, then apt install firmware-misc-nonfree and hope it helps
1146[20:49:33] <sney> there's also snapshot, which has every
package ever uploaded to debian. libqt4 is certainly in there but it
may be an ordeal to figure out which ones will install on buster.

1165[20:58:51] <dannylee> ok i just got my new computer...Debian
is on my other nachine...but my new machine i put fedora 32...all my
web browser work with fedora but not with Debian...i could only get
2 web browser to work on my Debian 9.13...fedora is just a bit
better...i now have 10 web browser that work on fedora...debian is a
flawed os...but i do like Debian terminals...youtube wont work on
most of my browsers...ok i still have Debian on my other
1166[20:58:51] <dannylee> machine...Debian is just to hard to get
working...i spent a month working with Debian...fedora is just
better an easier...
1178[21:05:30] <sney> if you're planning to upgrade your
buster system to bullseye, your existing qt4 packages will not be
removed unless there's an explicit conflict. so odds are the
legacy app will keep working unless there's some other issue
1186[21:14:04] <rangergord> Is there a list of groups I need to
add my single user to, to be able to manage this system with sudo?
I've been doing it on a case by case basis, first
systemd-journal, then sudo, now adm. I get the feeling I'm
doing it wrong.
1209[21:26:15] <burrows> sney: when the time comes to upgrade is
there an easy way to list/purge all legacy packages such as qt4?
Would "apt-get dist-upgrade" remove them? (I like to keep
things tidy)
1212[21:27:50] <sney> afaik if they are being upgraded and
nothing that was manually installed depends on them, they will be
removed when you apt full-upgrade, yes
1222[21:37:18] <toxic> hello everyone. I'm facing an issue
with my proxmox (based on debian I belive) : I have only 2 of my
NICs that are being recognized. I believe I forgot about some lost
config file since when I delete my /etc/network/interfaces and
reboot, only 2 of my 6 NICs show up in ifconfig -a
1223[21:38:04] <toxic> I'm at a loss as to what is
configuring enp5s0 and enp6s0 for me and that is nod doing it for
enp[1-4]s0
