hey

I'm looking to install steamcmd on my jessie server and the docs recommend using the package that is on strech and sid repos, how would I go about safely installing only that one sid package on my jessie install?
rjsalts 2017-03-02 12:08:40
dshq: add deb-src http://yourfavouritemirror/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free to sources.list, apt-get source package, apt-get build-dep package, cd package-version, dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot, cd .., dpkg -i package.deb
missmbob 2017-03-02 12:08:55
dshq: https://wiki.debian.org/Steam does *not* tell you to use sid

dpkg: frankendebian

When you get random packages from random repositories, mix multiple releases of Debian, or mix Debian and derived distributions, you have a mess. There's no way anyone can support this "distribution of Frankenstein" and #debian certainly doesn't want to even try. See if you can convince ##linux to help.

missmbob: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD#Supported_Servers Steamcmd not Steam client
dshq 2017-03-02 12:10:31
rjsalts: I was looking at this page, would this work also? http://serverfault.com/questions/22414/how-can-i-run-debian-stable-but-install-some-packages-from-testing
missmbob 2017-03-02 12:10:34
dshq: i dont care. if you want to follow their docs your install will not be supported here. follow what debian says
missmbob 2017-03-02 12:11:01
dshq: that's a really stupid thing to do
rjsalts 2017-03-02 12:11:42
dshq: it might work, it might mess your system up completely, it depends on the package and what depends on it, and whether the new version is backwards compatible
rjsalts 2017-03-02 12:12:32
dshq: and what it depends on too, you might drag in 10000 packages from testing that it depends on
stoned 2017-03-02 12:12:51
does anyone here use zfs on jessie from backports? are you able to export and import? also, does it create a linux_raid_member or zfs_member ?
rjsalts 2017-03-02 12:13:26
dshq: safer to try backports, and if it's not there then backport yourself. even then you can drag in a bunch of dependencies
dshq 2017-03-02 12:13:34
Steamcmd works fine on jessie if you manually download it and unpack it, just looking to keep it up to date with the sid repo. Steamcmd wasn't around at the time jessie was released so it never got added.
dshq 2017-03-02 12:15:21
I'll try it in a vm first then, but that pin method should work for only pulling one package from sid right?
rjsalts 2017-03-02 12:16:03
dshq: you could also run it from within chroot or container, unless you need a newer kernel
dshq 2017-03-02 12:16:47
rjsalts: I've never done those before, would it be easier then just installing a vm?
nickelad 2017-03-02 12:20:40
Guys SteamCMD ??
nickelad 2017-03-02 12:20:48
isnt that deprecated
nickelad 2017-03-02 12:20:56
like they have a new thing
nickelad 2017-03-02 12:21:10
I tried SteamCmd to no avail on Freebsd
nickelad 2017-03-02 12:21:28
only to find out it was replaced by idk what its called now
nickelad 2017-03-02 12:22:45
Use SteamPipe because SteamCmd is dead.
dshq 2017-03-02 12:27:08
Steamcmd replaced HLDSUpdateTool which in no longer supported and works with games that use Steampipe content,
dshq 2017-03-02 12:27:23
Doesn't say anything about steamcmd being replaced tho
nickelad 2017-03-02 12:28:33
umm still use steampipe
bit1 2017-03-02 12:29:16
Hello. Any bug track system, very very simple?, thanks in advance.
missmbob 2017-03-02 12:29:44

nickelad 2017-03-02 12:30:06
i had so many problems with steamcmd and i think its not supported and the downloads dont work anymore
bit1 2017-03-02 12:30:16
missmbob, too sophisticated
missmbob 2017-03-02 12:30:48
bit1: that's all there is
bit1 2017-03-02 12:31:26
I only need open, close "issues", and some priority issues
jelly 2017-03-02 12:31:27
missmbob, they seem to be asking about a bug tracking system for their own use
machinehum 2017-03-02 12:31:34
I downloaded the arm-gcc toolchain and it came in a folder structure -> bin & lib & share. Then another folder called arm-none-eabi, inside that folder there is another bin, lin, include and share
machinehum 2017-03-02 12:31:38
Where do I put these
missmbob 2017-03-02 12:31:44
jelly: oh
machinehum 2017-03-02 12:31:49
/usr/local?
machinehum 2017-03-02 12:32:01
and the upper dir ones in /usr
machinehum 2017-03-02 12:32:16
(In their respective folders of course)
dshq 2017-03-02 12:33:22
nickelad: From what I'm reading here https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7388-QPFN-2491 Steamcmd uses steampipe but is still the base. Looks like they now use http instead of proprietary protocols.
nickelad 2017-03-02 12:35:42
Im not sure then. Maybe its just steamcmd on freebsd which had problems ^^
nickelad 2017-03-02 12:36:02
or my incompetence rather

Is there a tiling/hybrid window manager that supports floats-as-workspaces? That is to say, floating, resizable containers that are internally tiled. I want this because my terminal is currently 157x95 characters and I have to subdivide it a lot to prevent it from being overwhelming amounts of information.
stoned 2017-03-02 12:41:23
is there anyway to watch dd output?
stoned 2017-03-02 12:41:26
or progress
tw 2017-03-02 12:41:59
stoned: send it SIGUSR1, it will print the progress.
