@jck ,yes, most of the times flawlesslly, it depends on the TV being connecte to; out of 3 tv (one LED, one Plama, one CCFL) only the bravia CCFL TFT has problem with CEC (but otherwise a pretty gorgeous picture; somewone throw it away , so got away to testit)

have also a usb keyboard at disposal which has a trackpad which is handy if fire up android 14-15 which sits on eMMC and is nice for browsing the web;
but tend to use coreelec most of the time.

if you want the computer to host your music library and playback on the same ,
suggest to rid the linux distro of pulseaudio - pipewire since in my experiennce it sijmply siounds better without.
had often times issues with crappy sound on linux , after removing pulseaudio and setting up alsa-only, the issue was greatly relieved.

there may be better options, but on linux my experience is limited so far;

getting rid of pulseaudio - pipewire made me sort of a happy linux user.

on a dell optiplex 960 running devuan 5 can use audio with alsa-only pretty well, although the speakers are minicky.

if you want to test some other route, you could try "volumio" for playback on a small sbc, like raspberry (tested on raspberr 1 and 2) - it functions great and is free with limited set of features; but you still need to hook-up. loudspeakers to it, and the options on raspberry are bit limited.

for transforming the pc to a alsa-only box, there are quite a number of topics on this forum;

specifically for devuan 6, you could try this approach and see if it functions for you (you mentioned devuan 6 "runit")

happy playback!

i have used this wiki to install nvidia driver for gt 710 on a devuan 5 daedalus OS, it could function also for devuan 6?

https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers

0   apt install linux-headers-generic

1, using nvidia-detect

(it would say in my case "nvidia-tesla-470-something")

then i went to

11. debian bullseye (470.xx)

instead of

# apt install nvidia-driver firmware-misc-nonfree

adapted to

# apt install nvidia-tesla-470-driver firmware-misc-nonfree --no-install-recommends

after reboot, there is some error message during booting process related to nvidia, however it seems the graphics driver is active and somewhwat functioning; (tested with geekbench --compute) there is no opencl, installed, however.

the "--no-install-recommends" portion was needed, since otherwise there would be error with devuan package "nvidia-persistenced" that has been discussed on the forum.

hopefully on devuan 6 this can all be easier, and no-install-recommends is no longer needed.

altoid,
have used a rpi-2 some time as printer-server, but for serving the ethernet connection, since printer would stop printing if a print job is sent and then would reboot OS or similar;
with rpi-2 print-server, could send the job to the rpi, and it would take care of the job, albeit slowly, indipendently of the OS on the computer;
with better printer that have a memory for printing jobs, this is obivoulsy not needed;

the rpi3+ (have one too) function even bettter, faster, but then you have the dislike of manually disable the AP on the Rpi3+, which is obviously not ideal solution (since it can be turned on by someone remotely);

but it should function also over USB, aslong you don't use the lastest?? of CUPS;
share your concern with the "foolishness" of making it IPP-only, but over at debian someone said that the companies are in on it, so it should be a good thing?

not sure how this will evolve; for myself,  i like things being kept simple; and for the moment, the IPP thing has not convinced me; the installation of IPP driver has been even more troublesome than USB on Devuan for the Ecotank printer (used it for some time when could not get the printer otherwise to function);

would not be surprised if the printing stopped function with it if you are "offline" mode, but that hopefully the companies will make sure that doesn't happen.

a good usb-only printer is certainly a good investment, would argue (one ricoh have in basement has usb and ethernet connection, which is very comfortable set of function).

if you don't gtrust the company, i'#d suggest you stay at large from their products?
makes sense?

Best.

R.

yes, error is also with non-root.

segmentation-fault -
this happend before , on other computers, sometimes when programs were not properly compatible or properly compiled (happened to me with mpv version of packaged for debian jess9e=) -
but the computer was behaving normally before - could not tell if something has gone bad -

only indicator - as said - i swapped the router (). (but rebooted).
other programs seem to open; simplenote has also opened before (it got installed via deb.file downloaded from official .git repository).

if you still have it installed,
it has been mentioned before, you coul stil trai tu uninstal

"ipp-usb"

for a change, but dont be surprised if you still need to configure something , but ithelped me on the usb connection for the epson printer.

cannot guarantee that it will solve ur problem, but it could help with the configuration.

glad you dont use wifi, keeps the air more clean.

you could check with hardinfo2?

you need to "cd" into the right directory,
and there you can "./install.sh" or "sh ./install.sh" , sorry if am not precise enouugh,
if you get permission denied, most probably you need to add "sudo" to the command. first you untar, then enter or "cd" into proper directory, then sudo+command should do the install for you.
but my memory told me, it function without sudo, but maybe was wrong.
