Nice one. Do you know how to avoid that ? Without using zram

not yet, but I suspect a memory leak from something from afreq

this is weird because, with afreq on : 

user@~ >>> free -h
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:            14Gi       3.1Gi        10Gi        12Mi       635Mi        11Gi
Swap:           11Gi          0B        11Gi

without afreq :

user@~ >>> doas pkill afreq
doas (user@devx) password: 
user@~ >>> free -h
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:            14Gi       1.1Gi        12Gi        15Mi       638Mi        13Gi
Swap:           11Gi          0B        11Gi

but it is really using 1.8 MiB :

user@~ >>> ps aux | grep afreq
root      2075  0.1  0.0   2780  1884 ?        S    11:24   0:03 /bin/sh /usr/local/sbin/afreq
user      2625  0.0  0.0   4068  2092 pts/2    S+   11:54   0:00 grep afreq

Edit : yeah, with btop tree view I have almost same numbers as yours. So the problem isn't from afreq BUT the memory increases only when it's running... Still working on it lol

I can't understand why it uses that much. Well I check with fastfetch, free and i3status. Htop shows 1960 mib for afreq

@EDX, I had to get powermgmt-base for a dependence, looks like your program is effective, but it uses 2 Gi of ram Oo I don't know what causes it yet.

@fanderal, thanks, I'll check it out

Thanks EDX, I didn't know afreq, it looks lighter, you did a good work. I think I'll use it instead... I'm still using elogind by default anyway.

If anyone was able to start auto-cpufreq I'd like to know.

Hi there,

I'm trying to start auto-cpufeq at startup with init.d, but the --daemon option makes it harder than expected. Here is the script (copied from cron startup) :

#!/bin/bash
# Start/stop auto-cpufreq daemon.
#
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          auto-cpufreq
# Required-Start:    $remote_fs $syslog
# Required-Stop:     $remote_fs $syslog
# Should-Start:    
# Should-Stop:      
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:
# Short-Description: Regular background program processing daemon
### END INIT INFO

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin
DESC="auto-cpufreq daemon"
NAME=auto-cpufreqd
DAEMON=/usr/local/bin/auto-cpufreq --daemon
PIDFILE=/var/run/auto-cpufreq.pid
SCRIPTNAME=/etc/init.d/"$NAME"

test -f "$DAEMON" || exit 0 && echo "exit 0"

. /lib/lsb/init-functions

case "$1" in
start)	log_daemon_msg "Starting auto-cpufreq daemon"
        start_daemon -p $PIDFILE $DAEMON
        log_end_msg $?
	;;
stop)	log_daemon_msg "Stopping auto-cpufreq daemon"
        killproc -p $PIDFILE $DAEMON
        RETVAL=$?
        [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && [ -e "$PIDFILE" ] && rm -f $PIDFILE
        log_end_msg $RETVAL
        ;;
status)
        status_of_proc -p $PIDFILE $DAEMON $NAME && exit 0 || exit $?
        ;;
*)	log_action_msg "Usage: /etc/init.d/auto-cpufreq {start|stop|status}"
        exit 2
        ;;
esac
exit 0

auto-cpufreq is is executable and at /usr/local/bin/
Looks like it would start without --daemon option. Sorry for infamous mistakes that mustbe in this script big_smile

Hi, libpulse0 is a dependence of chromium, ffmpeg, mpv, i3wm, etc...
It means it is present to build those programs but not necessarily used. If you don't have a pulse server it won't be activated (I HOPE).
To get rid of it you could recompile, for example chromium without this lib but it is hard work for a little.
If those libs need to be upgraded, it means they are already present on your system, please try to see why they are here and try to remove it.

Incredible, what's the point ? Looks totally useless to rewrite working stuff ?

It is not about security, security is how you code, not about the language. C is really secure IF you know how to use it.
It is not about performances : https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/8573

So, what's the fucking point ?

Hi there, I have a weird stuff on my system ?

See :

> cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Devuan GNU/Linux 7 (freia/ceres)"
NAME="Devuan GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="7"
VERSION="7 (freia/ceres)"
VERSION_CODENAME="freia ceres"
ID=devuan
ID_LIKE=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.devuan.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://devuan.org/os/community"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.devuan.org/"

but in my sources, I only have :

> doas cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/devuan.sources

Types: deb deb-src
URIs: http://de.deb.devuan.org/merged/
Suites: ceres
Components: main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

Is freia testing version ?

#17 Re: Documentation » HOW TO: Install XLibre on Devuan » 2025-08-31 16:13:24

unixuser

Hey, thanks for the tuto smile

What's the advantage of XLibre compared to X11 as X11 is still in development ? Are we sure that XLibre dev won't give it up ? X11 is pretty solid, it is nice to see new stuff, but I fear smile
Do you use it ? How is it performance wise ? Better, equal with X11 ? How is the ram usage ?

#18 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Can't even install yt-dlp in Devuan 6, many things are broken » 2025-08-13 15:14:31

unixuser

what does have yt-dlp with wayland ?

can you post logs of your "broken" stuff ?

I am using excalibur with wayland (sway) since months, I didn't noticed anything wrong and yt-dlp works fine smile

#19 Re: Documentation » how to specify an hexadecimal offset to dd ? » 2025-07-04 13:01:53

unixuser

@rolfie, I think you should have at least read it once before saying this, then, you'd know that it doesn't mention hexadecimal notation.
To have all options : check out the source code.

@ralph.ronnquiest, thanks, very appreciated, I still working on it. dd is powerful but a bit esoteric to use.

Hi there,

I do have the same errors at boot time. I think of disabling it too, isn't it redundant with SELinux ?

Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm using 64bit kernel : 

Linux tinpatrick 6.12.16-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.12.16-1 (2025-02-22) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I think this 32bit lib is used for steam...

Yes, I really need to backup my stuff...

#25 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] dpkg error while update » 2025-03-01 13:12:15

unixuser

OK done, 

dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.41-2_i386.deb

&

apt-get -f install

with no problem, I did fear a lot while this comp is full a important data for me.

Thanks
