when creating dkms.conf in 8409-master dir it turn into a brown folder package
cd into 8409 dir

Pay attention to what I said:

The name of the folder must be:  <PACKAGE_NAME> - <PACKAGE_VERSION>

Althogh there isn't any debian package here. So, the uncompressed tarball must be copied to /usr/src/snd_hda_codec_cs8409-1.0 or whatever name and version you wish. But they should match those given in the dkms.conf file:

PACKAGE_NAME=snd_hda_codec_cs8409
BUILT_MODULE_NAME=snd_hda_codec_cs8409
PACKAGE_VERSION=1.0
BUILT_MODULE_LOCATION=./
...

BUILT_MODULE_LOCATION is the subdirectory containing the source and the Makefile. It might be src/ in some common cases.

All the steps worked for me.

how to compile and install driver from github? cd, mkdir, make build not installing

https://github.com/egorenar/snd-hda-codec-cs8409

It's not so trivial. I recommend you to install the driver using the Dynamic Kernel Module Support (DKMS).

You need to install dkms together with the linux-headers (replace the version of the headers to match your kernel version):

# apt-get install dkms linux-headers-5.16.0-1-amd64

Download the tarball:

$ wget https://github.com/egorenar/snd-hda-codec-cs8409/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

and extract the content (you'll need to install unzip first):

$ unzip master.zip

Enter the directory:

$ cd snd-hda-codec-cs8409-master

Create the dkms.conf file inside of the extracted source code directory. For example:

PACKAGE_NAME=snd_hda_codec_cs8409
BUILT_MODULE_NAME=snd_hda_codec_cs8409
PACKAGE_VERSION=1.0
BUILT_MODULE_LOCATION=./
DEST_MODULE_LOCATION=/kernel/driver/updates
AUTOINSTALL=yes

This example identifies a kernel module named snd_hda_codec_cs8409 with version 1.0.

As root, copy the kernel module source code into the /usr/src/ directory:

# mkdir /usr/src/snd_hda_codec_cs8409-1.0
# cp -Rv . /usr/src/snd_hda_codec_cs8409-1.0

In the above commands, the name of the folder must be:  <PACKAGE_NAME> - <PACKAGE_VERSION>

Add the kernel module to the dkms tree so that it is tracked by if:

# dkms add -m snd_hda_codec_cs8409

Build the kernel module using dkms:

# dkms build -m snd_hda_codec_cs8409 -v 1.0

Install the kernel module using dkms:

# dkms install -m snd_hda_codec_cs8409 -v 1.0

The modprobe command can be used to load it:

# modprobe snd_hda_codec_cs8409

Validate the kernel module is loaded:

$ lsmod | grep snd_hda_codec_cs8409

Good luck!

any help is appreciated!
thank you in advance!

The part concerning to dm-verity in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/live should be as follows:

# dm-verity support
if [ "${DISABLE_DM_VERITY:-}" != "true" ] && [ "${DISABLE_DM_VERITY:-}" != "yes" ]
then
	[ "${QUIET}" ] || echo -n " dm-verity"
	manual_add_modules dm-verity
	# The BusyBox mount does not support dm-verity so we use the util-linux version.
	copy_exec /bin/mount
fi

The problem arises trying to copy the mount binary, which is located at /bin instead of /usr/bin. So, the line:

copy_exec /usr/bin/mount /bin

must be replaced with:

copy_exec /bin/mount

in live-boot-initramfs-tools

I've developed a new alsa mixer interface:

The packages are built for chimaera.

Just run amixer-gtk or add it to your autostart applications, and the icon will appear in your systray. The sound card suitable for playback/capture streaming will be automatically detected by the program. It looks like this:

Everyone here who doesn't devalue themselves with the label "just a Devuan user" should grab at least one of them and run it through a number of variations, and then report on it, maybe as an email to me. Refer to usecases.html for the primary use case division. VM trials as well as bare-metal trials are good.

Yes. Although I used setnet in devuan jessie, I didn't mention it because I can't remember whether it depended on ifupdown. On the other hand, I can't find the packages in chimaera.

I see there's a new version of GNUinos ISO's posted to the Chimaera live mirror today, both 32-bit (PAE and non-PAE) and 64-bit, with XFCE or openbox. https://www.gnuinos.org/mirror/chimaera/live/

I've tried the XFCE version, think I'll have a look at the openbox version this time.

Yes, I've fixed some issues related to Hopman.

On the other hand, I'm also looking at the following plugin for SpaceFM, the file manager included in the openbox version:

https://github.com/jpfleury/corbeille-spacefm

because it doesn't send files to the trash bin when you hit delete in the right click popup menu.

If you decide to install another file manager, you must indicate it in the files below:

  • ~/.xmenurx

  • ~/.hopmanrc

If they don't exist, you can create them and copy the content of the respective files located in /etc/default, modifying them for matching your installed programs.

My beloved transparent gkrellm skin is failing on chimaera with this error:

The program 'gkrellm' received an X Window System error.
    This probably reflects a bug in the program.
    The error was 'BadPixmap (invalid Pixmap parameter)'.
      (Details: serial 5672 error_code 4 request_code 56 minor_code 0)
      (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
       that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
       To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
       option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
       backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

It does run with the one and only "default" skin which is incredibly fugly.

Here's a tar.gz of the skin that I tweaked many years ago.

My now officially 80 year old brain is way beyond being able to sort this. I'm hoping the collective brain power on this forum might be able to pinpoint the problem. My eyes would be eternally grateful and others may enjoy it too!  smile

Did you uncompress the tarball in your ~/.gkrellm2/themes/ ?

Doing that works for you but will slow down the syncing of our mirrors and cause more timeouts for everyone else.  sad There are also some changes that are in the process of being sorted.

I'm trying again with deb.devuan.org
