#1 Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Stuck at 800Mhz Dell Micro Optiplex - FYI » Yesterday 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!

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 .

Can be a hazzle sometimes. But I have a DAW running pure alsa with no problems at all. Even multiple sound sources simultaneously.
#4 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

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.

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.

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

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.

Looks interesting!
#10 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.
#11 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-errorsYou'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).

#13 Re: Devuan » [SOLVED] The 'snap' package in Devuan belongs to biology » 2025-05-21 16:32:58
Devuan is a systemd-less distribution.
snapd requires systemd -> because of this, snapd is a banned package.
Hence the lack of snapd or anything snap related in the Devuan repository.
I'm sorry but this makes me very happy. 
#14 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] MBR and efi booting issue » 2025-05-10 03:47:54
Good stuff! Thx guys! For my two most recent installs I had to install Chimaera first and then immediately upgrade it to Daedalus. Couldn't get Daedalus to boot without going this route.
#15 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Desktop locking up / temp freezes » 2025-04-13 07:51:18
I don't really know, but ads can be taxing and multpile tabs/pages. Try Ublock Origin adblocker, if you haven't already. Works nicely with Firefox on my rig [Daedalus]. Blocks all ads on Youtube.

Thx PedroReina! You might have solved a problem for me too! VLC it is......
#17 Re: News & Announcements » Chrome based browsers and uBlock Origin » 2025-02-24 20:22:38
Firefox and uBlock Origin works very well. Recommend it.

Really sad...
#19 Re: Installation » Some problems after upgrading to Daedalus » 2024-12-05 10:52:27
Common problem and setting default sound card in Pulseaudio might solve it.
Look here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1038490 … -in-ubuntu
But since Alsa is always there and the basis for Pulse, you might have to set it there too. Try the Pulse way first.

Great many thanks to the Devuan team!

I might be able to run Nvidia 550.x or up, but haven't tested it yet.
