I'm trying to "build" (see below) a package for another architecture. I made it through (by disabling, frankly) most of the steps.

Long story short, I end up running something like this:

debuild -us -uc --host-type riscv64-linux-gnu -d -C/dev/null

but debuild keeps failing on this line:

[...]

So the *_amd64.changes file does not exist, but *_riscv64.changes does:

zigdev-0.0.0+t20240906145412.egg.gbc271d0
zigdev_0.0.0+t20240906145412.egg.gbc271d0-1.debian.tar.xz

zigdev_0.0.0+t20240906145412.egg.gbc271d0.orig.tar.gz

Building with amd64 architecture finishes correctly *_amd64.changes exists and is used.

First, do I really need this .changes file? (I'm not planning to upload this to Debian archive.) And if so, how to make debuild use the correct file?

Open "spoiler" below to read more about my goals. Since the fact I don't actually want to build Zig properly here might confuse and annoy people, I wrote my reasoning below.

::: spoiler Project overview

First and foremost, I want to learn more and become more familiar with Debian build system as well as Zig and system-level programming.

How I want to do it is to start creating zig-based binary packages for personal/experimental use. Now, already have a pipeline and tooling ecosystem which I use for Python and Bash packages: my system is DEB centric and handles package lifecycle from git repo to APT (or DNF, really) repository and I prefer when any new project can be immediately built and deployed as .deb.

So now I want to add Zig support. But means my Zig-based projects will need something to put to Build-Depends, and since Zig does not officially provide APT repo, I want to create my own -- this is what I'm focusing on right now.

So I'm creating this hacky package called zigdev whose only purpose will be to exist in my internal APT repos and deploy /opt/zigdev/zig to my test machines. One day, this package will can be easily replaced by official zig package, so for now (while building this particular zigdev package), I'm trying to cut every corner I can:

• I don't actually build Zig, I just download tarball using curl.

• I'm trying to disable every truly arch-specific step, since these would typically need arch-specific chroot or similar setup.

  For example, I don't care about dynamic linking, stripping or reproducibility.

Once I get this zigdev package running, I can start building my hello_world.zig's and similar. At that point I will start slowly moving towards creating a more proper binary packages by refining an rules template for my zig projects (using zig tooling, though.) (All this while also learning Zig itself and system-level programming in general, of which I have almost no experience with, so that will move with glacial speed.)

Good day,

This morning I just updated my machines, and I cant help to think that the updates got 'less' in a way?

Normally if I would update my machines on a daily or weekly manner, I would have a big list of updates that can be applied, today, not as much.

I'm running testing/sid on two machines, and LMDE/sid on another.

Would like to know if anyone experience something similar. If that is the case, I wonder if the xz backdoor gave the devs a scare of their lives.

Blessings.

Hello ! I recently switched to linux on my laptop and I'm currently on testing (trixie) and since I changed my audio set-up to have a headset for a call and a Bluetooth speaker for media etc my laptop's speakers aren't appearing anymore in pulse audio.

I must admit I'm a bit clueless on what to do to solve this issue, any help would be appreciated, I tried to find stuff online but nothing really seemed to match my issue as when the Bluetooth speaker is connected everything works fine. I'm trying to stick to the "don't execute it if you don't understand it" and well I don't want to worsen the issue.

Thanks in advance for any help !

Ever since I upgraded, the HDD light has been burning constantly even though the upgrade is complete. Is this normal? The process systemd-journal seems to be active, does that mean that logging all the changes is what's going on?

It's a pitiful Atom system with 2 cores, 2Gb RAM, and a single spinning HDD.

EDIT: Some service got installed that conflicted with pihole. plus I screwed up my sources.list.

Everything was working fine, but I just HAD to update.

Is there a way to get a report for historic network activity? Right now, I've installed sysstat and learning to use that. My search engine searching has got some results, but when I read about some programs that monitor activity, I'm not sure if I am overlooking something or if they don't offer it or if I have combed the doc files enough so figured I'd ask here.

I'm teaching myself how to run my own server. Starting with storage needs and then seeing how it goes from there. I'm hoping to find a way to get a report of past traffic/activity specifically.

Running Debian 12.

I'm having some trouble with suspend not working properly on my laptop, which has one of those Nvidia/Intel hybrid graphics systems. I run Debian 12 on it, with Gnome under Wayland.

Sometimes, my laptop will not go to sleep properly and just stay turned on. However, the screen will be black, and it won't respond to anything. The only thing I can do in this situation is a hard reset.

I say sometimes, because most of the time it works correctly and I just can't reproduce this bug. It might happen twice a day, but sometimes it won't happen for a week. I have a feeling Nvidia is the culprit here, but I was wondering if anyone else ran into this and knows a bit more about what's going on here?

Hi, I do rarely posting things on lemmy or frankly speaking this is my first time. I hope this meet this sub rules, despite it's a Spirallinux (it's still debian right?) problem or possible a framework system problem.

A strange problem appears when I install a steam game and try to start it. When the game tries to launch, the screen just freezes for a moment with the logo of the game start screen. After a few seconds the screen went black and the cursor poped up without the possibillity getting to the tty.

At first I had an system with an encrypted disk. When I installed Baldur's Gate on my system and started the game, the system crashes and the only thing I could do was pushing the power button. After reboot trying to enter my passphrase, the encryption manager always reported me that I entered the wrong phrase. I gave up since I couldn't even manage my snaps to rollback. I thought it was a critical bug from the game.

When I deleted my drive and tried to set up a new system I gave another game a chance. This time it was The Talos principle 2. Same problem. The system crashed with the only option pushing the power button. But this time I installed my system without encryption so I could enter my snaps on boot. The problem here is that several of the latest snaps were corrupted. Only the older ones were still working (snaps from 2 or 3 days ago).

The newer ones reports shows failing to start some podman-restart.service, podman-auto-update.service and networking.service.

Steam is from the debian repository.

My system: OS: Spirallinux (Debian 12) Kernel: Backport 6.5.0

Laptop: Framework 13 AMD Ryzen 7040 Series Ram: 64GB Firmware: 3.03

I don't know how to troubleshoot this problem. I hope I can find some help here. Thanks for any tips and help!
