farkuhar: That is really lazy. They gave you this in Malay language and yet they didn't even bother to value the property. Also the address is unusual. Still using lot numbers. Usually that is for areas not officially numbered by council yet.
<SiFuh_>
farkuhar: Wife forwarded it to her friend who use to work in property as a Valuer. See if they can track it down.

i just submitted a PR to fix use of grub on arm64 - crux now boots on vmware without outside forces!
<ppetrov^>
great work r0ni
<r0ni>
meh couple small edits and som eproper footprints
<r0ni>
but i was determined to get a VM that didn't need to boot another distro first
<r0ni>
also i had no idea how awesome the gentoo livecd was
<r0ni>
it basically sets up anything you want to do on a hdd
<r0ni>
it's always been a challenge booting VMs with no media, gentoo bootstraps it and gives you a blank slate... good enough to throw a rootfs on and start
<r0ni>
with that i'm going nighty night now. long day tomorrow

SiFuh_: no need to trouble your wife's friend with valuation of the property. Even after the list of inheritors gets updated, I plan to give away my claim and let it pass to a relative who actually lives in that area.
<farkuhar>
as for the laziness of the Malaysian lawyer ... what's really lazy is my failure to check that 'pkg-get -r $ROOT' plays nicely with 'runscripts yes' in my forked pkg-get. I pushed a few updates earlier today, which should fix the bug that r0ni discovered.
<SiFuh_>
You are going to give away $900,000 USD?
<SiFuh_>
Just kidding! Actually it is already done, they passed the check on to someone else to have a look. So we will wait for a reply.
<SiFuh_>
It's in George Town and I am guessing a newer estate. So it should be worth a large chunk of money
<farkuhar>
SiFuh_: Thanks for looking into it! As it says in the document, my share is only 1/12 of the property, so if I'm giving away 900,000 USD then the property has to be worth at least 10 million USD.
<SiFuh_>
Yep
<SiFuh_>
By law that paper you received should have been in two languages. English and Malay.
<farkuhar>
Yep, I have the English translation too.
<SiFuh_>
Translation?
<farkuhar>
That's what the title page calls it.
<SiFuh_>
English and Malay are national languages here. Therefore pretty much is provided in both languages
<SiFuh_>
much everything is*
<SiFuh_>
And Being Penang, English is spoken by pretty much everyone there
<farkuhar>
Well, now I'm eager to learn what your wife's friend comes up with.
<SiFuh_>
Me too
<SiFuh_>
Going between keyboard and engines with a tin of degreaser inbetween is a bit challenging. Even after reading the Malay version they still didn't understand. Haha so I ended up sending them a Yandex translation of it in English... and they are Malay!
<farkuhar>
That Malaysian lawyer really isn't worth the fee she demanded.
<SiFuh_>
That's a fact. I'd have chosen a Tamil Indian lawyer. They are more precise
<SiFuh_>
Wife's company has a Malay and a Chinese lawyer. Their last big case presented to a tribunual they had the wife explain to me what was the situation and after a heated discussion I finally found out that her company screwed up. They took notes the entire time. I am not even a lawyer!
<SiFuh_>
When I needed a lawyer to stamp documents, I hunted down a Tamil lawyer. This guy is awesome. Many times I turn up and it is free of charge. The wife asks "How come he didn't charge us for his time?". I laughed and said "Petty things don't concern those who have important things to do"

farkuhar: By the way that document at the top of the page is missing the case number and there is no record of it ever being provided to the courts
<SiFuh_>
So technically, there is a chance it hasn't even been submitted
<farkuhar>
SiFuh_: yes, it hasn't been submitted yet. I have an appointment with the Malaysian embassy on Wednesday, to sign the papers and provide a copy of my passport.
<SiFuh_>
Cool
<SiFuh_>
Should be easy compared to the US embassy here. I was reading the requirements and it was insane. No phones, not cameras, no wrist watches, no bags. If you have a file of paperwork it must be transparent and so on..
<SiFuh_>
Jeff said he had a similar issue with the US embassy in Mexico. Had to leave all his stuff even his watch at a local restaurant before entering the embassy.
<farkuhar>
Reminds me of the time I visited a courthouse to look up some property records. I stashed my watch in the public library across the street, because I wasn't allowed to take it beyond the checkpoint. Luckily it was still in its hiding place when I returned a few hours later.
<SiFuh_>
Assassin!
<SiFuh_>
farkuhar: Often thought about similar but you know, hiding my stuff in places people don't usually go like storm drains and under tree roots. Never had to yet. Would be funny if the embassy sees me digging a hole to bury a knife near their wall before I go in. Heh
<SiFuh_>
In the old days, I'd just hand the knife to one of the security and then on the way out he'd hand it back. Oh I miss the 90's

Hi, I just installed crux using the handbook without problems. Trying to install i3 using prt-get depinst i3, gives an error of missmatching foot print for lobxkbcommon
<hestia>
Tried installing libxkbcommon separately but gives the same error
<hestia>
Any ideas?
<jaeger>
Is it NEW or MISSING?
<jaeger>
If it's NEW you can safely install anyway using pkgadd or prt-get's --margs="-in"... if it's MISSING it might be worth determining why
woland has joined #crux
<hestia>
jaeger: i used --margs as u said and it installed
<hestia>
Ty
<jaeger>
Looking at the git history and testing in a container I'd say this is due to the recent removal of xorg from libxkbcommon as a hard dep
<hestia>
The errors were about new
<jaeger>
Welcome
<jaeger>
This also introduces a side effect... a 'prt-get depinst i3' from scratch without xorg installed will now fail when i3 attempts to find xkbcommon-x11
<hestia>
But xorg was installed and even startedx into twm
<jaeger>
Yeah, you won't run into this side effect, you already had xorg installed

Guys i have all the appropriate input libraries installed from xorg, since I did a full install and didn't meas with the kernel, but I have crux installed on a Thinkpad x200t and the track point is not being recognized. I been searching for 3 hours and have no clue

hestia: can you share your /var/log/Xorg.0.log using a pastebin? Someone might be able to find a clue from that.
<farkuhar>
as for the side effect that jaeger discovered while investigating your 'prt-get depinst i3' report ... I should check whether that side effect can be mitigated by my fork of prt-get (the branch that recognizes optional dependencies while sorting the install targets).
<hestia>
Im an idiot, I hadn't compiled any mouse mosules in the kernel
<farkuhar>
my hunch is that the depinst operation should work, with "softdeps yes" in the config file or --softdeps on the command line, but that's just a guess based on the deptree output. I should try it on a clean system to find out.
<farkuhar>
there's also the branch called mixed-upinst, which answers yes to the question at the bottom of the TODO ("should there be a install/update mixed to mode, ... which ever method is needed?") That's the branch I've been hacking on most recently.
<farkuhar>
anyway, it's been a long day, so gn8 for now. Welcome to the CRUX community, hestia!
<hestia>
good night friend. And thanks, It seems to be a cosy community. Glad to be a part of it
