Hi
As explained. Edit it with your favorite editor and try with
# Disable the HDMI card which shows up first, but enable PCH
options snd-hda-intel enable=0,1,0,0save and exit. As I told you I do not have this configuration myself. So try it out. If it is not working we look further.
Have a nice day

Sorry, I should be clearer. When I said it's there what I meant was it's not visible. I enabled view hidden files but it still can't be seen.
Also, when you say, Disable the HDMI card which shows up first how do I get that list?
Thanks for your patience.

Hi
The file I think you wan to edit is /etc/modprbe.d/alsa-base.conf (or call it something else with *.conf in that directory)
No such file there so created one like this:
root@devuan:~# touch alsa-base.confBut it wasn't visible, so
root@devuan:~# ls -l alsa-base.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 18 08:56 alsa-base.confSo it's there but what now? Thanks

Hi
Do you have enabled Pulseaudio. See here https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=3728 . Normally I am against using pulseaudio. But in this case it may be the easy way, to get things working. If yoy HAVE enabled pulseaudio try to disable it. It might as well solve your problem. https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=3732

Hi.
If PA is enabled I didn't do it.
Opening /etc/pulse/client.conf.d/00-disable-autospawn.conf in a text editor just shows a blank page so nothing to comment out.
In your next link where it advises:
# Disable the HDMI card which shows up first, but enable PCH
options snd-hda-intel enable=0,1
Sorry if I missed it but how do I do that? Thanks.

Take a look here. https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=3743 You have multiple sound cards.
Hi Lars. Following your advice to use alsamixer I get:

#59 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Sound with Beowulf - always trouble? » 2020-06-26 05:06:04
these two alternatives should be default in Devuan, and pulseaudio completely removed.
That will probably happen eventually. We just have to be patient. The team have a lot on their plate.

#60 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » How do you stop chromium asking for 'keyring password'? » 2020-06-26 04:58:21
I'm guessing the present Opera is based on Chromium, which would explain the problem I had. I know they 'changed engine' after Opera 12, probably to Chromium by the looks of it.
#61 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » How do you stop chromium asking for 'keyring password'? » 2020-06-25 11:56:50
I had the same problem with Opera on another distro. It's very frustrating. I didn't find a solution.
In fact, I've been put off installing Brave after seeing this:
sudo apt-key --keyringhttps://brave-browser.readthedocs.io/en … html#linux
That term keyring in there makes me think it would be deja vu all over again.
#62 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Alternative browser for Devuan/Debian - Brave » 2020-06-25 11:48:34
What is with all the noise about this "brave" browser recently anyway? Is it demonstrably better than Firefox/Iceweasel or a degoogled chromium build?
Personally I'd be highly suspicious of a new browser that is advertised as heavily as this one appears to be...Head_on_a_Stick wrote:Interesting article about Brave linked on lobste.rs:

No thanks, I'll stick to my adblockers and javascript defangers.
Perhaps I'm missing something but if you don't opt in to those schemes then it seems to me there's not a lot of difference to Firefox etc.

#65 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [Solved] Problem editing grub » 2020-05-30 08:00:56
Can we see your /boot/grub/grub.cfg? Or more specifically:
grep timeout /boot/grub/grub.cfg
root@devuan:~# grep timeout /boot/grub/grub.cfg
set timeout=30
if [ x$feature_timeout_style = xy ] ; then
set timeout_style=menu
set timeout=5
# Fallback normal timeout code in case the timeout_style feature is
set timeout=5

Thanks for your help.
#66 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [Solved] Problem editing grub » 2020-05-30 07:54:06
G'day Ralph, thanks for the reply. For the record the source I used for that was this.
It seems grub is one of those packages where it's stupidly hard to find documentation, with man pages that just say that "this is documented somewhere else and I'm not telling where"... it turns out that you need to have grub-legacy-doc installed, which provides the texinfo file with documentation using the info system.
That's interesting.
Anyhow, according to that you should also use
GRUB_TIMEOUT=0Afaict GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is the time to wait before showing the menu, and GRUB_TIMEOUT is the time to wait (in addition) before booting to the default choice.
If you also have
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hiddenthen the menu is not actually shown, but the time logic remains the same.
So I just changed it to GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 then rebooted and all was hunky dory. Now there's no need to add any hidden option as it booted straight away with no splash screen, just what I was looking for. Good onya mate!

Greetings. I'm on ascii 2.1 and I tried editing grub to a timeout of 0 as it always waits for me to hit enter. Despite there being a value of 5 it just waits for my input. Then, also as root, I ran update-grub and rebooted but no change. Here it is after the edit (I chose the hidden option as there's just the one OS on this machine):
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`

or download from official website. https://www.torproject.org/download/
Got it that time. I was surprised to see that I didn't have to install it. I just extracted the archive and it worked straight away. Thanks for that.
#69 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [Solved] Incomplete install of Tor » 2020-04-05 09:45:32
You might need to install torbrowser-launcher (or one of the other suggested packages)?
I've never used tor so that's just a guess based on it's name.

Thanks Chris.

Hello again good people and pundits. Since my last activity here I've installed ascii 2.1 on my Asus laptop. Things went well except it failed to install grub but a quick search fixed that. I'm impressed at the lightning speed with which it boots and now it's up and running I naturally want to install my favorite programs. Had no luck installing Tor thru the package manager so switched to a terminal. It seemed to install ok but went I went to the menu > internet the shortcut is not there. Nor is it in accessories. When I searched in run program nothing came up.
Here's what happened:

They're not fonts, the package is for configuration of the fontconfig package.
So try
# apt install fontconfig fontconfig-config # dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig fontconfig-configYou may even find that the hinting options start making a difference afterwards.
Turned out the package was already installed:

fontconfig is already the newest version (2.11.0-6.7+b1).

Hi golinux, thanks for the reply.
In Xfce Jessie the option is "anti-aliasing". I also use "slight" hinting and find it helps to use a semibold font like Open Sans.
The default here is Sans but no Open Sans option, closest on the list is OpenSymbol, thanks.
#74 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [Solved] Font rendering? » 2020-02-15 09:58:13
Hi Head_on_a_Stick. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
If you use TrueType fonts then try
# dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-configAnd change the font tuning method to "Autohinter".
Tried that and got 'command not found' so I guess those fonts are not installed?
Otherwise navigate to Applications Menu → Settings → Appearance → Fonts and play with the hinting method. MX use "slight" hinting.
No discernible difference, even when set to full.
It's probably also worth noting that MX-19 is based on Debian buster and so has a newer version of fontconfig. Have you tried the Refracta beta image? That uses a beowulf base with the same fontconfig version as MX-19 (but it has hinting set to "none" in the stock desktop).
No, haven't tried it yet but will soon, thanks.

Hello, I'm new here. Thanks for providing this distro and forum. Hope this is the right place for this topic.
I just tried the recent live release - devuan_ascii_2.1_amd64_desktop-live.iso - no immediate plans to install to the hard drive yet. First thing I noticed was the blurry-like font on Firefox. The desktop font is better though not quite as clear as I've seen on Xfce releases of MX Linux and PCLinuxOS, There doesn't seem to be any problem with the display driver as videos play normally. It's just the font. It's like seeing it on an old CRT monitor past its prime. How to fix?
Thanks in advance.
