#1 Re: Installation » How to upgrade to devuan testing? » 2025-03-22 23:16:37
Ok thanks got on testing, so far so good but seriously can someone please fix this pipewire? We using bash scripts to start it, it will blow up someday. I tried to start it up via sysvinit, but couldn't succeed.

I tried to install KDE's SDDM and it works, but it's all white, I can't see the usernames. This must not be happening?

I've written excalibur instead of daedalus in /etc/apt/sources.list but there nothing happens? It throws some errors:

@blackhole, Don't you think I've not looked at those wikis? They are useless. We are fucking using Devuan god dammit, if I know Devuan I must be knowing a lot of other shit, you know? Dont you boss me around, it seems you're the troll here. Also the wiki you sent sucks. No time stamp of that page=shitty source. These things could of be deprecated.
Powerd and powerdxx for older CPU's. They don't do anything to newer CPU's. However some random freeBSD user gave me this link. Which doesn't exist on the freeBSD handbook. Only this was helpful: https://www.neelc.org/2022/03/10/optimi … l-laptops/

So I've been dabbling with FreeBSD lately. It surely is slightly more responsive. But, I've seen that it uses a lot more power too. Because on most intel CPU's it won't use the C-states. CPU will always be on %100 clock speed. I've seen it. Even with microcode it's the same.
They said FreeBSD is too good, but cmon just because FreeBSD is %2 better than Linux, with extreme power consumption like this(%50 more at least because of this issue) I won't use it for desktop. Just here to rant. FreeBSD talibans are even worse than Linux talibans. They say gaming is better on FreeBSD. Cmon dude what? Can't install steam on FreeBSD this easily. At least Linux has some kind of terminal, and at most 2-3 commands you get a working gaming machine. Linux is not so bad. FreeBSD is good on servers sure, but Desktop, meh.
#8 Re: Installation » Radeon 5770 GPU in Daedalus? » 2025-03-05 22:20:07
You don't need that firmware bro, that's way too old. That GPU already has driver support by the kernel. You don't need to install anything.

It works, only with an AMD GPU though, maybe with intel. Nvidia purposefully doesn't support wayland well.
It works well, nothing bad so far.

That was a good theme. This current theme sucks. Why remove that? Please bring that back in devuan 6. I like crimson red.

I added some repos from here: https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/mirror_list.txt
But they didn't work. Throw me some errors about how that mirror didn't have a release file. I checked them in the browser, I point them just exactly like the default apt devuan mirror is.

I added these lines to .profile:
wireplumber &
pipewire &
pipewire-pulse &
The sound was working fine this time. Only, as I have Nvidia GPU now, brave doesn't open. There are small quirks.
Edit: I inserted a RX550 instead, now Wayland session works. Sound also works. It didn't work before. Even brave opens.
Also with nvidia even commands like inxi -G doesn't work well. Weird.
#15 Re: Installation » .xinitrc like in wayland ? » 2025-02-09 20:41:38
Are you possibly doing this for running pipewire in Wayland? I couldn't make it work on wayland so.

Debian 12 had no problem doing that. Only Devuan. How to fix this? I mount that EFI partition too, see if it helps. No, os-prober is on.

I play older games such as Skyrim Special Edition, or ETS2 anyway. Or Doom Eternal, Civ5-6 sometimes. These games won't benefit from Archlinux or anything.

Or y'all are just single? I've recently broke up with my gf and it feels like hell. It feels like I won't find someone as special as her. We can't be together anymore either way. Not even using my systemd free Devuan won't soothe my pain. What distro would soothe me anyway?
#20 Devuan » Why sysvinit can't create init scripts by itself? » 2025-02-07 12:58:51
- recklessswing
- Replies: 6
It seems easy enough. For example I created a tailscaled sysvinit startup script. I made it with chatgpt. It worked. I checked the code, it seems very easy actually. Why doesn't sysvinit doesn't create those things automatically? We don't even need chatgpt. Just pull in the given program's paths and various data, and put them in together. I would do that with gawk probably.

Systemd-boot wasn't really related to systemd at all. Like ever. It was gummiboot, then they related it with systemd, dunno why. It's just a bootloader god dammit. Leave it alone.

Did anyone manage to make it working? It gives errors about some dbus thing. I think systemd supports this, but sysvinit doesn't. I thought maybe for laptops this might be better than TLP, i dunno is TLP still relevant? Does anyone use Devuan and laptop and compare it to Debian?
