I'm not sure I understand the problem, but maybe this link below will help??

Upload your screenshot to an image site (such as imgur) and put the link inside of
[img][/img]tags. Your link should end in an image format, such as .jpg.

#430 Re: Other Issues » Update for libsystemd0 » 2019-01-14 22:37:06
Thanks for that link. I have read that in the past. I forgot it was a sticky. So I gather from the sticky that libsystemd0 does nothing. So in that case I guess it doesn't matter if I update it or not? Is that correct?
Is it okay to delete this file? (Sorry if this is a thick-headed question)

I just noticed there is an update for libsystemd0. Does Devuan use this app/file/whatever? Would it break the OS if I deleted it? Or should I just update it? Thanks.

Thanks for all the help ralph.ronnquist. My "solution" of just using Parole to play CDs is mostly okay for me. Maybe one day I'll bite the bullet and learn scripting.
#434 Re: Other Issues » Troubles playing audio CD on SMPlayer » 2019-01-05 17:16:55
It says "dynamically linked." Here's the whole output:
/usr/bin/mpv: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=30938c116cf001493429a04bc7ae8241b20b56e9, stripped
I have to admit I don't have a clue what this is telling me.
#435 Re: Other Issues » Troubles playing audio CD on SMPlayer » 2019-01-05 01:23:33
Thanks ralph.ronnquist. That's an interesting link. I tried the same thing the guy in the link did, switching the engine from mpv to smplayer. I got a very similar error to his. I'm not versed at all in scrips or wrapper scrips. I'll have to research it when I find the time. One question though, how do I find out if mpv is a script already, as you state is a possibility?
Also, I pasted over your quote of José Jorge to my post in the SMPlayer forum. Hopefully they'll get this fixed.
#436 Re: Other Issues » Troubles playing audio CD on SMPlayer » 2019-01-04 22:20:44
I see a cdrom file in /dev. In properties, basic tab, it says "Link target: sr0." That sounds like what you wrote (I think). However, the file size says 0 bytes, is that normal?
#437 Re: Other Issues » Troubles playing audio CD on SMPlayer » 2019-01-04 19:19:24
Maybe a red herring, but error code 2 traditionally is EACCESS, which would mean that there is a permission problem for some file, or even that some intermediate directory is missing when the program attempts to access a file.
I notice at the bottom of the log file it says "No such file or directory." Does that point to a missing intermediate directory?
As a test, I installed Parole Media Player, and it plays CDs just fine. Does this give a clue as to what is SMPlayer's problem? I'd just use Parole for everything (because I hate having two apps that do the same thing), but when playing videos it puts a thin green line down the side of videos, just like Totem and Mint's Xplayer used to do for me.
EDIT
I just did a web search for "debug argument to start mpv with" and didn't find anything.

I posted this on SMPlayer forums but still waiting for a response there. I'm hoping anyone here who uses SMPlayer can help. When I try to play a CD (a prerecorded "album") I'm getting an "Exit code: 2" error. I'm on version: 16.11.0 (revision 8242), Devuan 2.0 (ASCII). Here's the log file. Thanks.

While I'm not the OP, I avoid PulseAudio because I don't like the philosophy of its author; that has nothing to do with tinfoil hats.

Yeah, that was it. I found it, that's why I deleted my post. I just now burned it to a DVD, so after I'm done with this post I'm going to reboot and see if it works.
@GNUser: Thanks for the additional info!

According to this website here, I'm not using uefi, which surprised me because I thought I was. Is the info at this site correct?

Nevertheless, you should exclude your data if there's any significant amount and use a different method for the data backup.
When you say different method, do you mean an app other than refractsnapshot? Or do you mean another method with refractsnapshot?
#445 Re: DIY » [SOLVED] Creating a bootable iso file » 2018-12-16 17:36:10
Thanks for you reply, golinux. A few things: one, out of curiosity I opened synaptic and redid my search of "iso," and refractasnapshot was in the list. Somehow I missed it yesterday. Next, I assume refractasnapshot doesn't have a gui, as it's not listed anywhere in the start menu?
When running it in the terminal, I get this message:
configfile is /etc/refractasnapshot.conf
uefi setting is yes
Warning: grub-efi-amd64 is not installed.
The snapshot will not be compatible with UEFI.
To disable this warning, set make_efi=no in /etc/refractasnapshot.confMy first question is how do I know whether I need to download grub-efi-amd64, or just disable the warning (as is said in the last line)? If I should install it, I'm concerned that it will mess up my system. Will it change the way my system boots?
EDIT:
Found out you can download the gui from sourceforge, which I did.

First, I hope I put this in the right place. I would like to create a bootable .iso file of my system. I would intend to put it on a DVD disc so if the need for reinstallation ever came about, I could reinstall my system with all the apps I use already installed. To be clear, I already did some research (which made my head swim) and found out about partimage. I installed it, but apparently it won't work for me as the documentation says it works with ext2/3, but doesn't say anything about ext4, which is what I use. I also read about another way, I think it's called "dd," but I can't remember for sure. But I read that it will make the iso file the same size as the disk, including the unused space, so that wouldn't work for me. I searched Synaptic using "iso" but couldn't find what I wanted (but I might have missed something as I really don't know what I'm looking for). Can someone recommend an app, or a way to do this? I'm not asking for detailed instructions, just give me the name of an app, or a link. Thanks.

If you go back, you'd see that I did say I'd research it when I have the time. You know, I have a full time job, and a wife and kid that takes quite a bit of my time. I don't live on the computer. I really don't know what I said to warrant such passive aggression. And who was whining? That crack was unwarranted.

I am still "fairly" new to Linux. And I'm just a computer user, not a geek (I don't mean that pejoratively). When I have time I'll research it, I guess.
