#51 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » (Solved)Realtek ALC271X sound card, Alsa & vanilla Devuan Jessie i3wm. » 2018-02-24 19:01:12
I had some fun with sound some time ago. The problem was with 2 outputs sharing the module snd-hda-intel. It found HDMI first, which became the default.
The solution I found was to disable HDMI with# Disable the HDMI card which shows up first, but enable PCH options snd-hda-intel enable=0,1in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
Wow, that was a huge step forward! Thank you. Now I can run sound tests successfully:
$ speaker-test -t sine -f 2600
speaker-test 1.0.28

Having practiced my Devuan Jessie i3wm minimal install on a number of computers, I decided to do a reinstall on my Acer Aspire One 725 netbook. Having done some more reading, as with the systemd issue, I have decided that for me KISS not only means no systemd, but also that Alsa is an elegant audio solution. Unfortunately, my netbook doesn't agree with me:

I want to learn, and I don't mind editing text files to get where I need, but I also need to be able to understand what is going on. Here are my two basic questions:
1) Do I need a special driver for the sound card? I understand that it normally comes automatically via kernel updates, and as I have installed a targeted kernel, where the sound functioned fine under PulseAudio, I would suspect not.
2) If I need to edit a ~/.asoundrc file, what do I need to edit it to? I am just trying to get my speakers to work, but of course HDMI video/audio output would be nice as well.

Ah. Many thanks for the info. I am a bit outside my comfort zone, but I am up for a challenge.
#54 Re: Installation » (SOLVED)Minimal, vanilla Devuan i3 Jessie, Aspire One 725 wifi & sound » 2018-02-11 23:20:03
I finally got the wifi to work. I uninstalled broadcom-sta-dkms and reran the command from the beginning post, ran the suggested commands in the Debian Wiki after the build/install went fine and then added wlan0 to the Wicd client preferences. Case closed

As far as I can ascertain, the Aspire One 725 uses a Broadcom BCM43228 card. I have followed the Debian wiki advice https://wiki.debian.org/wl. Here is the output:
# apt-get install linux-image-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') broadcom-sta-dkms

Hmm. OK, I wasn't aware that there is a button to unmute in pavucontrol as I always use volti (which still isn't working for some reason). I installed pasystray, which works, but kicks up errors and isn't as useful to me as volti:

I have installed a vanilla, minimal Devuan i3 system and have a couple of small problems I can't find a solution to. Firstly I have XFE installed as file manager and have added:
[Added Associations]
inode/directory=xfe.desktop;to ~/.config/mimeapps.list, but I have had no success starting the Dropbox program in the GUI. I realize Dropbox can be installed with the cli, but I would like to manage it from the GUI, with XFE as the file manager if possible, and with the tray applett running in my tray.
The other issue is with the portable IceCat browser program, which I downloaded and copied to my ~/bin folder, making sure that I added:
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/binin my .bashrc file, but it refuses to appear in Dmenu (suckless-tools). It will run fine if I include the complete path in my i3 .config file but gmrun replies "permission denied" and if I try to run IceCat from the terminal, it kicks up a lot of GTK errors.
I am unsure if these issues are caused by something that isn't installed on my system, or if something else is going on.

Trinity works OK with PulseAudio (?). I installed PA and lost all sound. It was suggested on the Trinity mailing list that I install pavucontrol and check my settings, but that didn't help. I ended up running:
rm -r ~/.config/pulse; pulseaudio -kto get things working. Now I have a configuration where Trinity is using Alsa and MuseScore is as happy as a clam, as PulseAudio is intstalled. I don't claim to understand it, but it works, which is the important thing.

What model did you use when you setup your 3630? I don't see any model number that even approximates. I tried Deskjet/deskjet, but nothing prints...

Interesting. I went into the CUPS web interface <http://localhost:631/admin/> and was able to set up the printer without any problem, after I installed the backports version of hplip. I am using the Trinity desktop environment, and for some reason, the newer printer drivers aren't listed in the GUI setup.

I have an HP DeskJet 3630 and I am using printer-driver-hpcups 3.14.6-1+deb8u1 and it all seems to work nicely, including scanning.
This is running under Jessie.
Thanks for that Geoff. Hmmm. Unfortunately, apt seems to be hungover from trying to install hplip from experimental:
$ sudo apt-get install hplip

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

What is the recommended method of installing a newer version of HPLIP on Devuan Jessie? I need to be able to get my HP DeskJet 3632 printer to work with Devuan Jessie. I have tried backports and the driver is still AWOL. With the experimental repo, I ran into a problem with the necessary HPLIP dependencies going unmet as the required dependencies were older than what apt could pull in from the experimental repo. I have also tried downloading the latest HPLIP from the HP developers site, but the script/installer doesn't recognize Devuan and when I choose "Debian" as the distro, it prompts me for the following:
11 8.0 ("Jessie", Released 04/05/2015)
12 8.1 ("Jessie", Released 04/05/2015)
13 8.2 ("Jessie", Released 04/05/2015)
14 8.3 ("Jessie", Released 04/05/2015)
15 8.4 ("Jessie", Released 04/05/2016)
16 8.5 ("Jessie", Released 27/08/2016)
17 8.6 ("Jessie", Released 22/10/2016)
18 8.7 ("Jessie", Released 22/10/2016)
19 8.8 ("Jessie", Released 31/05/2017)and I am not sure what I should answer as I don't which release Devuan is most compatible with.
Help would be appreciated.

#64 Re: Installation » Devuan minimal install with Trinity (TDE). Login goes black & returns » 2018-01-29 10:15:08
This appears to have been my fault. I believe that I caused the situation by using "startx" after installing Trinity, rather than rebooting first.
I tried a number of solutions, including installing another DE and purging Trinity, but with all my messing around, I at some point hosed the system and had to reinstall. Everything is working fine now.
#65 Re: Installation » Devuan minimal install with Trinity (TDE). Login goes black & returns » 2018-01-29 02:14:53
Thanks for the quick replies. The problem as mentioned, pre-existed the install of the binary blob. I didn't have anything X installed before I installed the tde-trinity package, which should have pulled in everything necessary (and worked fine for my laptop). I compiled the blob using the script that I downloaded from the Nvidia site. The script requires among other things gcc, make, linux-headers, etc. so it must compile something.

I have with the help of fsmithred and ralph.ronnquist gotten a minimal system up and running on my tower computer (thanks again guys). I followed the instructions for installing Trinity, from the Trinity site, as I have done with my laptop, but as usual, my tower computer is kicking up problems. At the login manager, the screen goes black when I try to login and then returns to the login manager after a few seconds. I am unable to log in. At first, I thought that the problem was related to my Nvidia GeForce 1030 graphics card, so I compiled the drivers and restarted. Now I have the correct screen resolution with the same problem. When I installed Trinity, I used the # apt install tde-trinity command as with my laptop. There were no errors of any kind that I noticed. I have also tried chrooting into the system from a Linux Mint system on another hard drive and looked at the syslog (see below), but I don't see anything that is problematic there either. Does anyone have experience with this kind of odd behavior?

I knew nothing about AppImage, so went and had a look. VLC would play some music but failed with a video. Anyway I tried MuseScore and it wanted PulseAudio. It would run, but would not play the notes, so I tried it with apulse, as in :-
apulse ./MuseScore-2.1-x86_64.AppImageand it was much happier and would play the notes.
Geoff
Interesting, I just tried with apulse, and MuseScore note playback is greyed out 
However, I am at this time trying MuseScore with a Vanilla Devuan minimal install with Trinity on top. Trinity uses aRts as default for sound, but apulse installed fine. Not sure if TDE is using it however. I posted in the MuseScore forum and the only reply was to install PulseAudio. I am not sure they know or care what Trinity is, so even if I installed PulseAudio, I am not sure that MuseScore would play back notes unless TDE was using PulseAudio instead of aRts. Unfortunately, I don't know if that is possible without compiling Trinity to use PulseAudio from source code.
#68 Re: Other Issues » Vanilla KDE Jessie Devuan system prompts for USB pen drives. » 2018-01-28 10:05:15
After a couple of reboots to get the full error messages in Devuan, the BIOS boot menu seems to be working again - hesitantly.
The "orion" error reads:
module ehci-orion not found in modules.depThe USB error reads:
USB 7-3: device descriptor read/64, error-110Interestingly, Linux Mint gives me the same error at boot. Can I assume this is something that Win 10 did?
Supposedly, the "solution" is to power down, unplug all USB devices and let the computer sit for awhile. Time Will tell.
#69 Re: Other Issues » Vanilla KDE Jessie Devuan system prompts for USB pen drives. » 2018-01-28 09:48:27
OK, things have gone a bit pear shaped. I booted back into Devuan, I ran fdisk-l to determine which hard disk to install grub-pc to. I was told /dev/sde. I then purged grub-legacy before I installed grub-pc. . During the detection of other partitions, I got the following:
Found Windows 10 /dev/sdb1
Found Linux Mint 18.3 Sylvia (18.3) on /dev/sde1I then rebooted and as my hard discs were more or less purchased at the same time, same brand, and specs, I had to use the boot menu more or less trial and error. At some point, Windows 10 came up. I restarted and now the BIOS boot menu no longer works - at all. However, a Devuan GRUB comes up as default. From that, I can also boot into Linux Mint. When I boot into Devuan, I get an error about the "orion" module and then come a bunch of USB errors. My main concern however, is of course the BIOS boot menu that no longer works.
#70 Re: Other Issues » Vanilla KDE Jessie Devuan system prompts for USB pen drives. » 2018-01-28 00:03:43
Here is the latest. I booted into the Devuan partition via the LM GRUB menu.

Hi again fsmithred. Thanks for the info. I installed apulse. I haven't been able to switch to apulse yet, but yes, the aRts sound actually works very well with Trinity. Still looking for info on switching to apulse, but as I mentioned before, very irritating wading through all of the "Trinity", "TDE" and "TDM" posts.
----
I gave up on getting apulse to work with MuseScore and the Trinity DE, but PulseAudio works with MuseScore out of the box. Not sure whether Trinity is using aRts or PulseAudio, but at least system sound still works.
#72 Re: Other Issues » Vanilla KDE Jessie Devuan system prompts for USB pen drives. » 2018-01-27 16:27:00
OK, I must have made a mistake. This time I get:
$ cat conf/conf.d/resume
RESUME=UUID=c6c5dab4-b097-4db1-a50a-e79e5c8628e5Which confirms what I found with
# nano /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resumeearlier.
No, I don't normally change the order, but that would happen if and when I burn a new .iso file to USB pen drive, and install a new system. However, I haven't done that since I re-installed a Devuan minimum cli system and we started on trying to get these problems sorted.
I am hoping to eventually install a Devuan Jessie (stable) system on my /dev/sda drive, but I would like to do some more testing if possible before I take that step, particularly considering the complexities of the current situation.
You and Ralph deserve a big thank you for what you have done so far.

Off the bat, I would say that there probably is an issue with the graphics, as I haven't installed any yet. The system for now is pure cli. I am still unsure as to whether I will try an upgrade to ascii. That depends on a couple of things. Firstly, after this experience so far, if there is a consensus that I would be able to get a stable, Devuan Jessie system installed as my main system (erasing Linux Mint), with less wrestling than this time around. The other would be whether there would be interest from the Devuan developer team, that I joined the testers. I am not sure whether I have enough experience to find my way through the ins and outs of testing a system, but am willing to use the system we are now sorting out and give it a try.
#75 Re: Other Issues » Vanilla KDE Jessie Devuan system prompts for USB pen drives. » 2018-01-27 08:55:48

# lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-4-amd64 | grep resumecommand above listed a conf/conf.d/resume file.
On the off chance, I chrooted back into the Devuan system, to check that out with the following as I couldn't find any /conf/conf.d directory:
# nano /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume
RESUME=UUID=c6c5dab4-b097-4db1-a50a-e79e5c8628e5Sooo, if this is the correct "resume" file, the UUID agrees with that in the /etc/fstab that I posted earlier. However, only the system swap UUID is listed. I am not sure if that is to be expected or not...
