World of Warships (Steam) and Warzone - Linux native. Plus some really old Battlefield Desert Combat and BF Vietnam in PlayOnLinux. All on Devuan of course!

Yes, Deno is needed for YT-downloading. And now also exporting a YT cookie as well. More about the cookie export here:

#5 Re: Devuan » Proposal "Devuan User Repository" » 2026-02-07 12:47:12

I used to use Arch and AUR, but now I've been using Devuan on all my machines for some years. So I find Easydeb and DUR really great! So far in my testing it works nicely.

#6 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Using wine on devuan » 2026-01-15 08:38:56

Over at the Reaper forum they say this:
"Wine and/or yabridge is broken since Wine 9.21. I dont't know if there will ever be a fix. So, either you downgrade Wine to 9.21 if you want to use Windows plugins with yabridge, or you look for Linux native plugins as mentioned above. "

Some users do a downgrade, it seems.

In Xfce monitor settings under Advanced, there some check boxes for screens. Are they checked? Or unchecked?

#12 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » ALSA+Jack system wide audio No pulseaudio or pipewire » 2025-11-16 08:29:42

Over at the Reaper forum the alsa/jack/pulse/pipe question is frequent. Your setup and scripts seem to take away the hurdles.
I've been running Reaper and pure alsa for some years and I remember at least two hurdles. One was setting the default alsa output (card) the other was getting parallel sound outputs from Reaper and for example youtube. 

So your solution could be the thing!

#14 Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Stuck at 800Mhz Dell Micro Optiplex - FYI » 2025-11-01 09:07:42

Annoying problem stuck at 800 Mhz, should be able to get 3200Mhz. Fixed by following this Dell support https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-u … ghz-800mhz

and then a factory reset from within the Bios.

I tried all kinds of google rabbit holes with different drivers . acpi instead if intel_pstate - and cpupower/cpufreq settings and other voodo. Only hardware reset fixed it.

Seems to be a Dell Optiplex and some Dell laptops problem.

Have a nice weekend Devuan mates!

#15 Re: Installation » Also UEFI install problems » 2025-10-17 06:06:12

I had that Daedalus install problem as well on several different machines. Never could figure it out. But I installed Chimaera instead and immediately changed the sources and upgraded to Daedalus. Working nicely since, on all of them, though not an ideal way of installing .

#16 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » PA Volume Control defaults » 2025-10-04 18:52:28

Can be a hazzle sometimes.  But I have a DAW running pure alsa with no problems at all. Even multiple sound sources simultaneously.

#17 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » PA Volume Control defaults » 2025-10-04 14:20:59

I just had this default problem with PA. No matter what google solutions I applied, nothing worked for setting a default out. Not even pure alsa. Pipewire solved it immediately on my Xfce Daedalus install. Followed this thread: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=5867

#18 Re: DIY » New Project, a simple music player. And now a video player!! » 2025-08-07 07:00:18

It reminds me of a bass player I used to play with. I suggested that we could compose our own tunes. He said: "All the songs are already composed". The end.

#19 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » PA Volume Control defaults » 2025-08-05 04:59:13

This is pretty much what I used for setting default sound:

PA is a nuisance and on my other machine (a DAW) I do Alsa only.

#20 Re: DIY » ALSA-only purists: Question, new GUI app for the mixer and EQ? » 2025-07-05 14:53:38

I'm really interested in downloading it. Waiting eagerly.....

#21 Re: DIY » ALSA-only purists: Question, new GUI app for the mixer and EQ? » 2025-07-04 09:09:43

I'm in! Nice project. I will certainly try it. On my Devuan DAW (Reaper) I run only Alsa and Jack. No pipe and no Pulse.
And I can play both DAW and Youtube at the same time.

For DAW's you can get better latency with a pure Alsa setup.

#23 Re: Devuan » Devuan and gaming, any benefits? » 2025-06-02 18:14:56

I've got Steam, Lutris and Playonlinux working with PC games. But of course, not all games/versions. Devuan seems to have good support for those and the underlying Wine. Been running this Devuan setup for years.

By the way, you are allowed to play as much as you want. But I also recommend Hiking and Biking as compliments.

#24 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] .xsession-errors file » 2025-05-27 15:34:16

Or take a look at this crude script I use at boot:

#!/bin/bash
for i in {9..1}; do
    if [[ -f /home/USER/.xsession-errors.${i} ]]; then
        mv -f /home/USER/.xsession-errors.${i} /home/USER/.xsession-errors.$((i+1))
    fi
done
mv -f /home/USER/.xsession-errors /home/USER/.xsession-errors.1
touch /home/USER/.xsession-errors

You'll always have the last ten boot-up logs available. I had a problem too with xsession-errors, but it was the Xfce weather applet gone crazy (bug).
