unborn: what you told about /var/log was just incorrect in this regard
TyrfingMjolnir 2017-02-02 02:45:52

jelly 2017-02-02 02:46:04
cron service _itself_ will log when it started a job, via syslog, but jobs don't do that
unborn 2017-02-02 02:46:20
yeh jelly but I did correct my self..
depesz 2017-02-02 02:46:20
TyrfingMjolnir: run your script, from shell, using: "sh /path/to/script" - is it also erroring out ?
unborn 2017-02-02 02:46:48
jelly: sorry I aint mean to upset anyone nor you.
TyrfingMjolnir 2017-02-02 02:47:17
Same error, depesz
jelly 2017-02-02 02:47:19
unborn: the best way not to upset me is not to feed people wrong answers
depesz 2017-02-02 02:47:27
TyrfingMjolnir: so, this is the problem of cron using sh
depesz 2017-02-02 02:47:36
configure cron so it will run bash, and not sh
unborn 2017-02-02 02:47:36
jelly sure. sorry. im quiet.
jelly 2017-02-02 02:48:32
you don't have to quiet, just be 100% sure (and verify) how something works before offering suggestions
unborn 2017-02-02 02:49:52
jelly: if I do my cron command > /dev/null 2>&1 means no output no logs correct? if not that that is what I get in all wrong

I was trying to install the openjdk-8-* which is in jessie backports. The problem I was facing is openjdk-8-* requires latest `ca-certificates-java` from jessie backports. But the funny thing with `ca-certificates-java` is it's also in stable repo. So I was not able to install openjdk-8-* using apt-get since it was installing `ca-certificates` from stable repo and not from jessie backports (which was required for `openjdk-8*`)
unborn 2017-02-02 02:50:21
if yes.. I was just checking if he does have something like that in a line..that was all.
unborn 2017-02-02 02:51:25
rootkea: :)
rootkea 2017-02-02 02:51:33
Now since I didn't know how to ask apt-get to install the package from a particular repo (In this case from jessie backports and not stable) I was having "broken packages" error with openjdk-8*
jelly 2017-02-02 02:52:04
dpkg, tell rootkea about jessie-backports
c00kiemon5ter 2017-02-02 02:52:25
hi, when I do: apt install package-foo # the screen clears once apt is done installing that package. How can I stop that?
rootkea 2017-02-02 02:53:02
Somebody suggested me to use `aptitude` instead of `apt-get`. (I'm sorry I disconnected quite after that so can't attribute) and it's so inuitive in solving "broken packages" thing!
jelly 2017-02-02 02:53:15
rootkea: https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/#index3h2 tells you to add -t jessie-backports to the install command
rootkea 2017-02-02 02:53:16
*got disconnected
jelly 2017-02-02 02:53:27
aptitude is a bit smarted
jelly 2017-02-02 02:53:30
smarter*
jelly 2017-02-02 02:53:41
except sometimes it's too smart
rootkea 2017-02-02 02:53:51
jelly: Was that you who suggested me to use aptitude?
rootkea 2017-02-02 02:53:59
*were
unborn 2017-02-02 02:53:59
rootkea: it was abrotman :)
jelly 2017-02-02 02:54:00
probably not
rootkea 2017-02-02 02:54:13
Oh!
rootkea 2017-02-02 02:54:18
abrotman: Thank you! :)
rootkea 2017-02-02 02:54:46
Special thanks to unborn for sticking with me LOL
rootkea 2017-02-02 02:54:53
:)
rootkea 2017-02-02 02:55:35
jelly: A follow up question. Does one should use backports?
rootkea 2017-02-02 02:56:02
Sorry for poor English.
unborn 2017-02-02 02:56:04
rootkea: no problem.. I am sorry to failing you.. I completely forgot about aptitude.. which makes me to write my own notes.. as I said usually I use apt db without needing aptitude.. im glad you did resolved your issue!
jelly 2017-02-02 02:57:22
rootkea: if you absolutely need one or more packages that are only present there, yes

hi guys
rootkea 2017-02-02 03:01:45
jelly: Are backports less stable or unstable since not in stable?
rootkea 2017-02-02 03:02:04
unborn: Thanks! checking it out now :)
rootkea 2017-02-02 03:02:18

hello everyone. I just installed debian 8 cinnamon with an iso I just downloaded. On installation it claimed that it didnt have the firmware for rtlwifi / rtl8192cfw.bin, but I concluded the installation using a cabled connection, and fully updated my system. I had enabled contrib and non-free on my sources list, and installed firmware-realtek.
dtcrshr 2017-02-02 03:12:50
even restarting the network manager, I still dont have wifi avaiable, and modinfo rtl8192ce shows the module
dtcrshr 2017-02-02 03:13:01
is there any other step to enable the wifi on debian?
teraflops 2017-02-02 03:19:00
dtcrshr: did you take a look at https://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x ?
dtcrshr 2017-02-02 03:20:33
im reading, just a moment
dtcrshr 2017-02-02 03:21:47
hm maybe just installing the firmware-realtek isnt enough. Ill try downloading the firmware suggested also
teraflops 2017-02-02 03:22:20
dtcrshr: it depends on your device
dtcrshr 2017-02-02 03:22:44
it says its about the U devices, mine is rtl8192c
dtcrshr 2017-02-02 03:23:03
ce, sorry
teraflops 2017-02-02 03:24:19
dtcrshr: is the pci/usb correct?
teraflops 2017-02-02 03:26:22
dtcrshr: I'd trust the device id instead the loaded driver
teraflops 2017-02-02 03:26:45
of*
dtcrshr 2017-02-02 03:38:40
teraflops: well, its embedded on my notebook
dtcrshr 2017-02-02 03:39:17
ill try to double check the device id, brb
shtrb 2017-02-02 03:39:59
anyone with displaylink (the USB 2.0 version) and debian sid ?
shtrb 2017-02-02 03:40:16
I wish to be sure it would work
