from https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=59154#p59154
I deinstalled both sound servers pipewire and pulseaudio.
tested with zoom test conference.
sound output reproduction works in librewolf, firefox-esr and in chromium
micro input works only in chromium.

Yes that was the solution.
It is not enough to install the package(s), debian wants you to do this
a2enmod cgiby hand, also that it could as well be in a post install script.
as programmed, swish++ should be a package requirement, not a recommendation.
almost solved. Bug or feature ?

Hi
devuan daedalus
Yesterday i installed dwww. Today I looked, if indexes have been built, but have not.
I run /etc/cron.daily/dwww, it quit immediately.
I run /etc/cron.weekly/dwww,
/etc/cron.weekly (git)-[master] # sh -x -v dwwwIt asked if swish++ was installed and quit. Of course swish++ was not installed, because it was a recommendation only.
Now I installed swish++, now it builds the index.
Debian Documentation is flawed and dependencies are also flawed both on the website and in the installation.

This looks like a rush job. When I start from your beginning:

I don't use the OP's method to run pure alsa, but I can attest that FF works for me just fine with nothing but alsa. All the browsers i've tested do.
@greenjeans
What is your Method?
OPs method seems very elaborate, at least. If there was a single script okay, but doing all the steps manually - tldr

#8 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] (alsa) arateconf not saving properly » 2025-11-04 11:56:24
now there is one simple thing missing :
a script which does all the above in a single call.
There are people, who write extensive lists of how to do one thing after the other and have tested them .
But then instead of pouring this in a single script. they are wasting a million times of users to not save them their time.
What are computers for, if not to automatize and transfer this knowledge.
and of course the script shall be in the appropriate package.
That would be progress.
#9 Re: Packaging for Devuan » different versions of same package, kicad » 2025-09-17 16:03:12
The kicad documentation states that a project once modified can no more be read by an older version of kicad. But does that mean the design data is screwed up?
Definitely yes as said by trainer. Killer.
Anyhow: on the kicad home page I can't find any support for downloading older versions either.
So do I, asking with the KiCad people right now.
Flatpak support is stated below on their website, a new field of distraction.

I happened to visit KICON 2025 Europe, because of using KiCad software.
The training used Version 9 so I installed from Backports.
dpkg -l kicad
ii kicad 9.0.3+dfsg-1~bpo12+1 amd64 Electronic schematic and PCB design softwareThis removed
zgrep -i kicad dpkg.log.2.gz
...
2025-07-09 10:35:09 remove kicad-packages3d:all 6.0.10-1
...In the KiCad training I learnt, that other operating systems support different versions of the same Software on the same host.
That will be needed to maintain older pcb Hardware.
Under debian the new versions kick out the old versions.
The debian maintainer answered, that he does not intend to change this behavior.
Commercial use with debian/devuan is such not possible. You do not want to migrate old projects forcefully to new versions, for small changes in a maintenance phase. Migration is not backwards compatible.
KiCad supports flatpak officially but only a "stable" version, which is changing every year.
What can be done ?

Nvidia Quadro P2000 connected Monitor is first in standby.
It looks like some user application is keeping NVidia from entering standby. On the net there are electron apps mentioned from doing things. I have slack and signal sometimes running . leftovers or settings goofed from these programs ? also chromium has a similar mention.
With above programs not used after login , both monitors go in standby after 3 minutes.

It is not possible to set the shell for a particular task in /etc/cron.hourly, etc/cron.daily, etc/cron.weekly and /etc/cron.monthly.
Setting shell for all jobs is in /etc/default/cron.
I moved the job into the crontab (crontab -e) of root.
Now we go to the next problem.

Hi
I failed to explain that I have a protocol function in the script which writes to /var/log/somejob/somejob.log, if executed as root.
I verified now that the script starts indeed as a dash script instead of starting as bash. Some command inside requires a bashism and then the script fails.
Works as root !
I correct now the headline as well.

Hi , they keep playing around with things, nobody needs to change. Now I have a grey urlbar and search bar,
which change color when the mouse hovers over it.
What a waste, because now I have to search the bars with the eyes, before I can target them with the mouse.
This Guy, who did it, has no knowledge about workplace ergonomics and MMI design.
Somewhere else I found a huge css script about changing a simple parameter.
Does anyone have a better solution, maybe a parameter for the color in the about:config ?
Searched but was not successful.
I use Mate on daedalus.
Does anyone have a better solution, maybe another browser where they don't fiddle with such ?
Meanwhile I kicked version 128 out and keep version 115
#25 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] mate desktop pdf opens in terminal with vim » 2024-10-02 17:50:57
When now testing the case, I noted, that the wrong behavior has disappeared.
It was limited to the "recent files" in the application menu of mate.
I did install some mate-menues-extras Items.
Probably it fixed the case. Possibly after a restart or a logout-login sequence.
