21:50:28 <sabasedigh> hello
21:50:52 <sabasedigh> I want to upgrade devuan and I am not sure what to do. Would you help?
21:55:44 <gnarface> sabasedigh: https://www.devuan.org/os/install
21:56:02 <gnarface> instructions there
21:56:18 <gnarface> if you have questions just ask and be patient, someone will help eventually
21:57:48 <sabasedigh> gnarface: thanks I see. It seams the latest is based on debian 11 buster
22:09:45 <golinux> sabasedigh: https://www.devuan.org/os/releases
22:17:18 <golinux> Latest is based on bullseye

03:37:07 <theodore> Does anyone here have experience with with doas on a minimal devuan netinstall with runit? I have added my /usr/local/etc/doas.conf with "permit $USER as root" ($USER is my user ofc) but when im trying a doas command from my user I only get a doas: syntax error at line 1, what am I doing wrong?

04:36:21 <lts-> theodore: check that you have a newline after that line 1
04:38:29 <theodore> Like just a regular enter
04:38:30 <theodore> ?
04:38:41 <theodore> so the file ends with an empty line
04:39:54 <theodore> Omg that worked
04:40:01 <theodore> now I feel really stupid haha
04:41:53 <theodore> thank you so much
05:11:29 <lts-> np. I'm paranoid and always leave a newline at the end of every config, precisely because there are software like this
05:23:21 <theodore> ill remember that trick for sure
05:39:48 <theodore> Okay while I am here anyway I have another question, anyone knows how to install microsoft teams on devuan? Unfortunatly I have to use that shit app for school. Ive installed the .deb package, dpkg -i i, but when I try to run "teams" from terminal nothing happens
05:46:59 <djph> theodore: as in it attempts to launch then crashes right back to a prompt?
05:48:03 <theodore> If I type 'teams' and then enter nothing happens, no error message or anything
05:49:23 <djph> does it go back to the prompt, or act as if the program is still executing?
05:50:22 <theodore> Go back to prompt
05:51:01 <djph> so it executes and apparently finishes fine ...
05:51:27 <djph> what is the 'teams' thing? an actual ELF binary, or just a wrapping script of sorts?
05:52:09 <theodore> How can I check that?
05:54:36 <lts-> With 'file $(which teams)' for example
05:55:07 <lts-> You could install strace and run 'strace teams' to see what is it trying to do
05:55:13 <lts-> *also
06:20:23 <theodore> Allright
06:20:30 <theodore> strace gave me this output https://paste.sensio.no/StephensGuild
06:21:02 <theodore> I don't really know what any of that means
06:41:16 <Joril> theodore: well "teams" is just a script that launches /usr/share/teams/teams
06:43:12 <Joril> could you try a "strace -f teams" instead ?

07:20:30 <rkta> I stopped trying to get teams running. I just installed google-chrome and use the teams website. That works just fine.
07:21:11 <theodore> Bro Im literally so out of ms ecosystem I didnt heven know youcould do that
07:21:35 <theodore> well in that case thats what I'd do as well, I much rather use it in the browser than as a app
07:22:30 <rkta> Beware, it's for a reason that I run it in google-chrome. I had trouble with FF and chromium.
07:23:08 <rkta> I use google-chrome for all the shitty broked stuff I need to use for dayjob.
07:23:59 <theodore> the glowiebrowser perhaps? Yeah I usually like to keep stuff separated like that as well
07:30:07 <rkta> glowiebrowser?
07:55:19 <onefang> The "nuke it from orbit until it glows, it's the only way to be sure" browser? Or maybe theodore meant Firefox, since fire glows?
07:58:28 <theodore> Hehe i was using terry tavis slang, sorry, glowie would mean the fbi, refering to google chrome as a glowie browser jokingly meaning it would be spyware
08:00:07 <theodore> Maybe a little bit far fetched
08:00:08 <theodore> sorry
08:00:47 <onefang> So I was right the first time, nuke it from orbit until it glows brightly enough to be seen from the Moon.
08:01:01 <onefang> But off topic now.

11:08:08 <EdBoatConnoisseu> i already did a post on the forum but just in case someone looks more at irc than the forum
11:08:35 <EdBoatConnoisseu> i'm writing a init independient implementation of user services
11:08:40 <EdBoatConnoisseu> https://codeberg.org/eylles/shed
11:09:32 <EdBoatConnoisseu> i call it shed, it is intended to take care of problems like pipewire lingering across sessions
11:10:47 <EdBoatConnoisseu> it still needs a lot of work, but is a start

13:10:30 <eyalroz> @EdBoatConnoisseu: Suppose I use sysvinit right now. How would shed help me? I don't quite get it.

16:04:49 <xisop> anyone here know if it's possible to do sda crypt after installation
16:06:12 <xisop> hmm. looks like maybe full disk enc might not be possible, but i could encrypt certain folders
16:22:06 <gnarface> i think uh, you can do everything but /boot or something like that
16:22:34 <EdBoatConnoisseu> eyalroz: if you want to use pipewire to replace pulseaudio, simply starting it on xsession, pipewire will linger after the session is killed, the "reccomended" ways which is checking for the pidof pipewire and either not starting or killing the other instances becomes messy if you want to have multiple x11 sessions, like in another tty or maybe inside xephir, shed guarantees that the instance of pipewire created for the xsession will
16:22:34 <EdBoatConnoisseu> be killed without aknowledging any instance of pipewire that doesn't belong to the x11 session where it was started
16:23:22 <eyalroz> @EdBoatConnoisseu: I've never used pipewire. What would using it help me with?
16:24:05 <eyalroz> (by the way - I'm no Devuan expert, I'm sure other people here have more experience with these things)
16:27:46 <EdBoatConnoisseu> in short pipewire is a more performant replacement for pulseaudio, personally i use it to not have to do the pulseaudio and jack dance when i want to use aurdour and record something from my audio interface, also pipewire is used for screen sharing in wayland
16:29:02 <EdBoatConnoisseu> but that is not really the point, the idea was to have the user services "married" to the session and be able to manage them in a manner similar to how runit and systemd can but on sysvinit, openrc and s6 (i don't think s6 or openrc can do user services)
16:30:35 <xisop> never heard of pipewire. i'll have to check it out. i'm not too fond of the whole pulseaudio system
16:32:12 <brocashelm> i'm fine with alsa
16:35:48 <fluffywolf> I also use ALSA.
16:40:40 <gnarface> you can do that audio output recording thing with just bare alsa and the snd_aloop kernel module
16:40:57 <gnarface> you don't need pulseaudio or pipeire for that
16:43:32 <EdBoatConnoisseu> aurdour really only requires jack, pipewire provides both jack and pulseaudio api emulation, and i don't see myself recording music without a Digital Audio Workstation so i'm okay with that compromise

18:11:09 <eyalroz> Is there a decent comparison of the different init systems available today for Linux? Perhaps even a publicly-available video?
