Having to use wine is not the best solution,..

I completely agree!
For such professional programs, I have Win installed on a separate disk.

Microcap was once taught to students and there was an online course on its learning and application.

But it all depends on the task at hand. Perhaps the simulators available in Linux distributions will suit the topicstarter quite well.

DIY Layout Creator

Yes, for simple low frequency circuits.
Creating a PCB is not an entirely simple task, here is an example of instructions for this. There are many more similar ones for specific tasks (pdf ~320 Kb).

And the best simulator is probably microcap, but it’s under Win.

- added "zim"

Bad idea.
Why install a full-fledged DE, and then add programs built on another graphics library?

Package: zim (0.75.2-1)
dep: gir1.2-gtk-3.0
    GTK graphical user interface library -- gir bindings

Not a package manager, but sometimes useful.
The mc file manager can install the package and view its contents.

Regarding downloading 3 packages at once instead of one.

According to my observations, the download speed (approx. 2Mbit/sec  from
https://devuan.rosset.eu.org/devuan-files/  , for example   ) is limited by the server.

My Internet speed according to speedtest (fiber optic-router-WiFi) is 25...30 Mbit/sec. Therefore, whether there is one or three at once, there is no difference.

Synaptic and apt are quite satisfactory.
And TDE KPackage for variety sometimes.

FWIW: current debian-live iso does not have memtest. Maybe they're as confused as I am.

The list goes on, PclinuxOs, OpenSuse 15.5...

#8 Re: Installation » Daedalus desktop live: Cannot load memtest » 2024-03-30 05:56:56

Perhaps my question should be moved to the offtopic section.
Maybe other colleagues will express their opinions.

I have no doubt about the usefulness of this tool. It has long been included in installation media. But today the situation is different from 25 years ago.

#9 Re: Installation » Daedalus desktop live: Cannot load memtest » 2024-03-30 05:32:19

Let me ask, if I may, is memtest even needed in live builds?
I already forgot when I used it, the reliability of the memory modules allows this.

Poor users here who believed your self-praise.
Here is my experience of launching your ISOs, presented as a benefit for users.

One, after any command in the root terminal, stopped responding to on-screen menu items, and it was possible to turn it off only with a command from the root terminal.

The one discussed in this thread hangs at the loading stage of the x server. On a computer with an AMD video card, the screen blinks, but with an Intel video card, it gets stuck on endlessly repeating the server error message.
I would immediately delete such crafts of mine, you do not hesitate to post them.

#12 Re: Devuan Derivatives » live-iso 32 bits testing and experimental with miniKDE » 2024-03-28 09:30:01

"Slowly put down the mouse, raise your hands and step away from the computer!" (C)

I downloaded snapshot-20240326_1055.iso, wrote down dd, and ran it on a real machine. At the loading stage, the screen began to blink, apparently while the x server was loading.
At least the previous one loaded...

My position is not to develop but to help users

You are our benefactor!
Do you really think that anyone is interested in your attempts and “Frankensteins”?
You yourself are already confused in your “snapshots”, maybe that’s enough?
Well, find another way to increase self-esteem, and at the same time find something to do. Play solitaire, or something...

#13 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] CLI throughput test for Linux » 2024-03-27 04:11:25

Properly pointed, I am getting no less than 94% signal and download speeds of 13.5 Mbps on a day when not every TD&H is on the cable.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802. … Data_rates

Setting up WiFi is a separate big topic.
You can optimize by choosing a channel, its width, etc. depending on local conditions.

Quote from the article. If you need a browser translator-
https://github.com/FilipePS/Traduzir-paginas-web

The Regulatory domain plays an important role; the regulatory domain may require restrictions on transmitter power, on the ability to run an access point on the channel, on acceptable modulation technologies on the channel, and also require some “spectrum pacification” technologies, such as DFS (dynamic frequency selection), detection radar (which each regdomain has its own, say, in the Americas almost everywhere it is offered by the FCC, in Europe it is different, ETSI), or auto-bw.

The regulatory domain may not be specified, but then the system will be guided by the union of all restrictions, that is, the worst possible option.

@Altoid
And if you set the local site (*.ar) in mtr, are the packets also lost?

Regards.

#15 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Audio device: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP HD Audio (rev 21) » 2024-03-25 10:31:33

There's something missing in my Devuan.

root@devuan:/# daemon -r socat pipe:/dev/dsp,umask=000 exec:aplay
bash: daemon: command not found

P.S. This is purely for fun, probably not worth attention

Add to your browser and forget translation problems.
The artificial intelligence of the translator greatly contributes to this.

@Altoid
These are US dollars.
My mtr picture is also WiFi, home.
The top line is the router, the next 5 are the provider nodes.

Regards.

#18 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] CLI throughput test for Linux » 2024-03-23 06:22:29

Hoping not to be considered indiscrete, a question if I may: how much does that service cost you?

Approximately 6.4 $/month

Using mtr is simple, in the root terminal

mtr  dev1galaxy.org

The provider asked me to submit a Winmtr report when the entire Internet was working except for access to Google. Linux mtr suited them.

Regards.

#19 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] CLI throughput test for Linux » 2024-03-22 19:41:31

@Altoid
Of course you need to check the speed.
But, I repeat, the speed test includes nodes not controlled by the provider. The latter can with great success be presented with an mtr report with the percentage of lost packets in its node.

But everyone’s conditions are different, my provider’s service is at a very high level, partly due to competition.
And my speed itself has remained unchanged for more than 10 years, about 100 Mbit/sec.

Regards.

#20 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] CLI throughput test for Linux » 2024-03-22 18:41:48

In any case, the provider will request a trace when you contact it with problems.
Therefore, the mtr program must be installed.

In my fiber optic network, the provider has 5 nodes before accessing the global network. He can control them, the rest, which will be present in the speedtest test, are beyond his competence.

#21 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] CLI throughput test for Linux » 2024-03-22 15:11:09

Uncle Altoid,  you are not joking? smile
You have a 4-core processor, why do you need a cli?
Are you going to continuously control the speed?
I understand, you need to check when they connect, well, sometimes just for fun.
And the specific speed of working on the Internet with specific sites is more limited by other reasons.

Lenovo says this is normal and inevitable.
https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/prod … s/ht511649
In fact, this effect and methods to combat it have been known since the days of tube audio amplifiers, in which the output transformer could “sing” no worse than the speaker. This was eliminated by impregnation by immersing the transformer in molten paraffin. All that remained was the magnetostriction effect of the core itself, but the sound from it was much, much weaker.

#23 Re: Off-topic » Corebooted T430 whining cpu noise issue » 2024-03-18 19:46:34

@zapper
CPU cooling can be checked objectively. The Lenovo test disk contains a processor stress test. They consider 10 minutes under full load sufficient. In mine the temperature did not rise above 70 degrees Celsius. And the stress test program itself can be anything.

P.S.Another point is controlling the processor frequency. In my DE there is a GUI for setting energy consumption - tdepowersave, the emergency circuit with dynamically changing frequency is selected.

#24 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Audio device: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP HD Audio (rev 21) » 2024-03-18 13:47:31

Now it seems that there is no such thing as /dev/dsp anymore.

In any case, the command 

cat /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav>/dev/dsp

does not work in Daedalus. Maybe it's just me?

#25 Re: Off-topic » Corebooted T430 whining cpu noise issue » 2024-03-18 08:43:29

Is this Lenovo ThinkPad T430?
Maybe it needs to be cleaned and the thermal paste replaced?
