I tried all those, it doesn't do it. I had to manually write a grub entry.

I tried os-prober and all. Nothing works. I would write my manual grub entry for windows 10, but I forgot how. I did it before. But why it doesn't work automatically though? On debian it worked?

Nuclear energy is actually green energy, if you do it right. I think there is next gen energy tech, which is called fusion, or fision reactors? I don't know, but China was working on it lately. It is much much more efficient they say.

Recently I have test driven the TOGG T10X car, it seems very powerful and it's a SUV. I kinda liked it. I checked the prices, it was overall similiar to those of renault's and hyundai's and such. That got me thinking about electric cars. I am all for petrol-based cars, I was. They work, at least for 20-30 years. Can electric cars work that much? Even if they don't, what about battery replacing? Is it cheap?

I don't know man, what if their batteries go completely nuts after 5 years, or even 3 years? But I have watched some tesla long reviews, they have been using those cars for 5 years, at most they lose %10-15 of the battery in that time. It seems good enough? I change cars every 5 years or so. But,mining lithium metal also uses CO2. Producing the battery also produces CO2.

On the other hand they seem soo much cheaper, at least in Türkiye. EV cars use around at worst, 20kW/100km That's around 5$ dollars if you charge at stations? If you charge at home, simply half that price. Whereas for oil it would use at least 8$ Too much start stopping? Then 10-12$

#5 Re: Off-topic » USA Foods » 2024-02-19 21:27:25

My uncle who lived in USA for 20 years, say that meat from Türkiye tastes superior to the ones in USA. He says it's because of CAFO feeding operation. Cows in USA don't eat and forage naturally like Türkiye's. So naturally we have better tasting meat, we don't have that much CAFO operations as of now.

Wayland is buggy as hell since release, with some minor tweaks firefox works, kind of. Do the devs not care about wayland at all? If it's not a goal, that's alright. Just wanna know for sure.

I am pulling my hair over this stupid thing here. On debian there is no such problem like this. ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa works, but I don't want to do it every time I log in. It's nuts. There are various "fixes" all around the internet, none of them work.
Simply put I want ssh-agent to add ssh thing to the thing at startup, and not ask me passphrase every time. Is this so hard, I don't get it.

It didn't even work at start. Until I used this guide: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=5867
But that only works partially, without xfce4-panel -r manually, I still don't have sound. How to do this?

As I say I recently installed KDE. I watched movies from my local FTP server. On XFCE with MPV it worked. With KDE it doesn't work.

That worked. Thanks. Although this is just a temporary fix. It might get borked in the future releases.

I used this guide to install pipewire:https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=5867

I checked, it actually works but xfce4-panel is late to update that. So there is an sound icon with x on it, meaning like it doesn't work. Then I do xfce4-panel -r then it works again.

How to make it so I don't have to type xfce4-panel -r everytime?

In debian there comes a window asks me "this PC wants to unlock this passphrase" there is a tick that says, save this password. I don't have it. I use ssh passphrases btw and they are not empty. Let me tell you this function works in debian. Prolly not related to systemd either. How to do this?

And no I don't wanna use empty passphrases, I didn't use empty in debian so why should I use on devuan?

This guide also applies to devuan. I used manual method. It works.
But why do this? Let's say you have 2 linux distros installed. One kernel updates, the other one doesn't update unless you log in to that and update it's grub too. This prevents this. The kernel changes are applied immediately. It boots under 7 seconds for me in SATA SSD btw.

Only one thing, if you use say like xanmod kernel, don't use the /vmlinuz and /initrd file. They are for stock kernel. That will just boot into the stock kernel. Instead do this for your kernel versions. Change the version numbers appropriately:
sudo mv /boot/initrd.img-6.5.8-x64v3-xanmod1 /boot/efi/EFI/Devuan/initrd.img
sudo mv /boot/vmlinuz-6.5.8-x64v3-xanmod1 /boot/efi/EFI/Devuan/vmlinuz

grrr screw their developers really. Way to blow a good software like this.. Just tie it to systemd. It's not even related to systemd in any way. Why do this? I don't get it...

It was called gummiboot before. I don't know why they added it to the systemd. Anyway, is it possible to install that?

#19 Re: Installation » Can't install wine-stable on devuan 5, dependency hell » 2023-10-05 20:18:47

It's the winehq version of wine for debian. I had wine installed already but devuan's wine has problems. Doesn't work properly. So I install winehq version.

Nvidia 535 too much problems yet. Even for windows. Too much problems on latest games. Better go for 525 for a while.

#22 Re: Installation » Devuan 5 daedalus gnome wayland doesn't work with nvidia » 2023-09-10 02:03:51

Interesting that is, KDE Wayland works with nvidia. With small tinkering. But gnome still doesn't work. In gnome, also inxi -F doesn't work in terminal properly. It just stops. Very weird behaviour.

#23 Re: Installation » suspend on straight Wayland setup » 2023-09-07 21:48:27

How do you even run wayland? No apps work on me on wayland, no firefox, chromium, brave. Even neofetch or inxi on terminal doesn't work.

I actually have 4GB RAM only. But I don't use RAM that much, I think it's that systemd uses more CPU rather than RAM. I have half the RAM empty most of the time.
